I recently installed the jtech 2.8w laser on my 1000mm xcarve. I am using the arduino controller, not the xcontroller. The software piclaser required grbl 0.9g. After installing it, I found that I cannot connect my xcarve to easel. I like using easel for simple routing. Is it possible with the 0.9g update?

Use this version of grbl instead.

Awesome, Thank you for the reply. I did not realize that there was already a thread about this, mostly because i was unsure of how exactly to ask.
