    Hi, I have build your Stewart 2 with rumba and all components. I have your firmware 1.0.0 installed, but I cannot get anything to move. The serial monitor shows mirrored ? symbol and no GCODE does anything other that create rubble on the monitor screen. Also the robot overlord does not find the platform. What can I be doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance because I am getting crazy after trying time and time again for 2 weeks now.

    Rumba board is connected by com5 (usb) and is recognized by Arduino IDE as Mega2560.

    You will have to run R71 to set the factory default switch angles, then R70 to save them to the EEPROM memory so it knows how to home. Every time you start the machine run G28 to home the device. Once it is home it knows where it *is* and can figure out where it is *going*.

    yes, in the serial monitor. Baud is 57600. make sure “send newline” is on.
