*Go to the following webpage:
 
http://dank.bengler.no/-/page/show/5474_configuringgrbl?ref=mst
 
=Modifying GRBL Settings=
 
*Navigate to the Arduino IDE folder
 
[[Image: ArduinoFolder.png]]
 
*Double-click "Arduino" then click "run" in the popup window
 
[[Image: RunArduino.png]]
 
*Note: you may want to create a quick launcher for the Arduino IDE
 
*Connect the Arduino Uno to the computer via USB cable
 
*In Arduino IDE, open Tools>Serial Monitor
 
*Note: the Serial Monitor window should pop up and you should see the following:
 
Grbl 0.6b
 
'$' to dump current settings
 
*In the Serial Monitor, change the left drop-down setting to the following:
 
Both NL & CR
 
*In the Serial Monitor, type the following in the command line:
 
$
 
*Note: you should now see the following:
 
$0 = 157.480 (steps/mm x)
 
$1 = 157.480 (steps/mm y)
 
$2 = 157.480 (steps/mm z)
 
$3 = 10 (microseconds step pulse)
 
$4 = 500.0 (mm/min default feed rate)
 
$5 = 600.0 (mm/min default seek rate)
 
$6 = 0.100 (mm/arc segment)
 
$7 = 0 (step port invert mask. binary = 0)
 
$8 = 25.0 (acceleration in mm/sec^2)
 
$9 = 225.0 (max instant cornering speed change in delta mm/min)
 
'$x=value' to set parameter or just '$' to dump current settings
 
 
*In the Serial Monitor, type commands as necessary in the following format, where "X" and "Y" are numbers:
 
$X = Y
 
=Design Modifications=
 
=Modularity=
 
*Different step motors and drive mechanisms can be mounted onto the axis support angles via mounting holes
 
*Different frames can be used, provided they have precise mounting holes for the axis support angles
 
*Different holding platforms can be used, provided they have mounting holes for the X axis moving angles
 
*Different spindle setups can be used, provided they have mounting holes for the Z axis moving angles
 
*Different stepper driver boards and power supplies can be used, provided they have compatible performance specifications within the electronics system
 
=Scaling=
 
*Scaling mainly consists of changing the size of the frame (to affect travel ranges) and the type of step motors (to affect travel rates)
 
*Other discrete components such as fasteners, leadscrews, and shafts need only be scaled if necessary for functionality or certain desired performance specifications
 
*The travel range calculation for the X axis:
 
(X Travel Range) = (Distance Between 2 Parallel Frame Angles Along Horizontal Plane) - (Length of Platform Along Axis)
 
*The travel range calculation for the Y axis:
 
(Y Travel Range) = (Distance Between 2 Parallel Frame Angles Along Vertical Plane) - (Length of Z Support Angles Along Axis)
 
=Usage=
 
*Circuit Schematic to Gcode File Toolchain
 
*See following link for list of electronic design suites:
