OK...I think I'm getting close to making this move. I have connected the M3 to the computer using the USB cable. The power supply is plugged in, fan is running.
I open UGS. I have 3 options under "Port"; COM1, COM4, COM6
I have attempted to select all three. When I select COM6, however, there is change in the sound coming from the M3 unit...be it fan speed or something else. I checked Device Manager and confirmed and Arduino UNO is using COM6.
I never get the confirmation of connection when selecting ANY of the ports. I have also tried numerous USB cables.
I am using Windows 10 and using UGS v1.0.9
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
Dave

I changed the baud from 9600 to 115200 and got the connection working.
Used the "$$" and got feedback. Looks like everything is working properly

I AM AT THE SET UP STAGE, WHEN I POWER UP AND BRING UP UGS IT SAYS "NO SERIAL PORTS FOUND" I HAVE TRIED ALL OF THE DIFFERENT BAUD RATES AND REFRESHED.

Replied to ya over there. It's just a matter of designating the driver that Windows needs to talk to it.

I just finished my build and very exited but just like several others I'm getting the dreaded "GRBL is not finished booting". I have it on COM 1 (only option) and set at baud 115200. Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated? I can hear the static as others have mentioned and the motors seemed locked so I can't manually move anything.

99% of the time it is the baud rate that causes that, but you say you've set 115200. Have you re-flashed your board with another version of Grbl by chance?
Can you take a screenshot and upload it as an attachment so I can put an eyeball for any kind of out of place setting?

Im not so sure then that your computer is actually recognizing the board then. Can you open device manager (search in windows search), then go to the drop down for COM devices. Does it have genduino uno there or an unrecognized com port? If that is Windows 7 there is a good chance it did not autoload the driver (because Windows is so awesome). Even on other versions this occurs. That COM1 you see in UGS might be some other serial device connected to you computer. If it's not showing as genduino uno or something similar in device manager then go to the sticky at the top of this support section and look for loading driver on Windows 7. If it is doing that, let's get away from UGS and see what Grbl Panel will do. The board itself should be ok because they get test booted after we flash them.

The driver did the trick, it's alive. Now to do a more reading and the try my first cut. Thank you.

When I hit $H and the homing cycle begins goes to the right and It seems to want to keep going. When I also hit the X+ the router moves to the left and when i hit X- it goes right. Does this mean I have a connection backwards?

Never mind I did have a cable backwards.
