Rpi/NanoDLP not connecting to RAMPS

Pretty basic printer setup.  RPi 2b, running NanoDLP, connected to RAMPS 1.4/Mega2560 via USB running grbl. 

I can access NanoDLP on the network, and I've got the right USB port, so that the RPi doesn't give me an error message on the main page.  All that seems to work.

But nothing connected to the RAMPS will move.  And when I open the terminal, and type $ or $$, I should get some feedback from grbl.  I get nothing.

Any suggestions?

Why are you running GRBL on a ramps board when there are much more efficient firmwares out there ?? ( Modified Marlin)

Good point.  One of the tutorials I had been following used GRBL, but I also had Marlin on hand.  I installed it, and it seems to be working, apart from the Z-stop and the shutter servo.

So, on to the next question.  Thanks.
