How to Modify GRBL Settings

  • Navigate to the Arduino IDE folder

  • Double-click "Arduino" then click "run" in the popup window

  • 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
