I have been having problems with carve depth and when I checked the axis movement in UGS setup I noticed that the Z axis moves twice as far as indicated I.E, step set to 2MM actual movement 4MM. How can I fix this?

Then you need to elaborate on your steps taken so we dont have to keep guessing 🙂

Can you try Easel, in case that woll open/connect okay?

Easel / UGS work off the same GRBL parameters stored so fixing this issue can also be done in Easel.
