Q: control sub panel #35

What is the point of the control sub-panel. None of the buttons seem to perform any function. I can't find anything in the documentation about the sub-panel either.

The buttons perform the stated functions, after you connect to Grbl. Until then they do nothing as there is no controller connected. Each sends an appropriate command to Grbl, e.g. $X for Unlock, $C to toggle Check Mode, etc.
