What is GRBL?

"Grbl is a free, open source, high performance CNC milling controller written in optimized C that will run on a straight Arduino."

Dank GRBL Get this one by downloading the zip file and extracting its contents into a folder of your choosing

PROGRAMMER = -c stk500v1 -P /dev/ttyACM0 -b 115200

Open Terminal and navigate to the GRBL folder (ex. by using the "ls" and "cd" commands)

make clean

make

make flash

-=How to Modify 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
