Problem Uploading to board / Arduino Uno & CNC Shield

Hello!

I am building my own 4axi drawing machine using an Arduino Uno on my MAC OS Mojave, Version 10.14.6. My aim is to create generative drawing later on. :slight_smile:

My problem is that the machine is already build and except of one final touch everything worked pretty well, meaning I've been able to upload to the board a couple of days ago. But now all of the sudden nothing works at all. >:(

So these are the steps I've been going through when connecting the Arduino UNO to my MAC OS Mojave and the 4AxiDrawing Machine:

1.) I've installed GRBL and put it into '/Users/'laurakrok'/Documents/Arduino/Libraries'. When uploading the code to Arduino IDE it now says it's not possible.

2.) I've selected the correct board type (Arduino Uno) but I can't find the correct port which showed up a couple of weeks ago. I've also tried a new USB 2.0 cable for this, but still no luck. The correct USB port just doesn't show up! My MAC OS is saying that the the USB-equipment is deactivated though. Can it be that the machine is taking too much power consumption so I would need a USB 3.0 cable instead?

That's more or less it. Can you help me?
Thank you!
