Is your baud rate set correctly?

download printrun and try to connect or in arduino IDE open the serial monitor (top right corner of the software). Go through the baud rates and figure out which one you have set.

Sorry for the delay in reply!

I am using 115200 as my baud rate, as recommended by the guide I am following.

In GRBL Control this lets me connect and change values:

And in the Arduino serial monitor, it connects and displays the firmware I am using:

Though I can't run any commands... (Probably because I am using non-standard firmware at the moment?)

So I believe the baud rate is set correctly.
What should I look at next?

I unsoldered the Easydriver board and wired it up separately and it worked.

I am unsure if it is the custom board, or the fact that I am now powering the Easydriver separately that fixed it. I shall do some tests!

Thanks for the help guys.
