the new grbl code doesn’t seem to work with stock grbl 0.9.

Here’s the console output when I connect:

node server-grbl.js
DEPRECATION: Please use require('serialport') instead of require('serialport').SerialPort

I figure that “nope” is about as instructive as it gets, at the moment.

It has been tested with the MrBeam Grbl Image https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mrbeam/grbl_v1/mrbeam-stable/grbl.senior.hex
Disable endstops!

This should fix your issue.

Before I saw your responses, I figured I’d done some editing here and there, and maybe I’d broken something. So I deleted and re-cloned. Here’s what I got:
rm -rf LaserWeb3/
