UPDATE ! ! !
1. We have created and Arduino Library for GRBL. This makes its much easier to flash
GRBL to your Arduino Board.http://blog.protoneer.co.nz/grbl-arduino-library
2. We have given back to the GRBL project and developed a ARDUINO CNC SHIELD that is
100% GRBL compatible.(Click here for more details)
This is a quick guide on how to get your GRBL setup and ready to run in Windows.

With the Universal G-Code Sender you will be able to control your GRBL-Arduino board
with G-Code commands and it even has arrow buttons to move your stepper motors in
place. Categories

I have an Arduino Uno, and im using the Sparkfun Easydriver boards to control my
motors, Which pins on the arduino are used by the gcode sender/grbl software, i
got everything set up just dont know which pins are for step and direction. Thank
you

Hello, I am using the system proposed by you to control my cnc laser homemade,
but the machine is locking up halfway and the program has an error, what can be? I
am using windows xp32b, could you help me?

Bertus Kruger
Hi Deives,
Can you tell me more about the error you are receiving and the setup you are
running?
thanks.

from old floppy drive), still the same. the stepper motor retailer (chinesei leave
there) told me something about frequency, but i didnt catch a single word.
have you got any clue? tips, or miracle for me?
anyway thanks a lot, i started my mini cnc project because of you.

Hi Gatien,
Thanks for the really nice video on how to use Sketch-up in your CNC workflow.
I think your trouble is with the 5v power source. Easydriver motor controller
drivers need more than 5V to work. The input voltage going into the stepper
driver and the voltage that the stepper is rated is not the same measurement.
Regards.

Hi. At this stage GRBl(g-Code enterpeter) does not support more than 3 axes. To
extend the axes number above you 3 you will have to modify the code to allow this.
Regards.

As per my previous can you confirm that GRBL is actually functioning? Might be
worth sending me an picture of your setup.. info at protoneer dot co dot nz

Hello!
I have Arduino UNO & cnc sheildv 3.0 with 4 axis
I building cnc foam cutter, how to choose the firmware to 4 axes compatible with
GRBL?
Reply
Bertus Kruger
At this stage GRBl only supports 3 axes. But its planned to add more. The other
option is to write your own software that implements the 4th axis.

Im very new to this CNC stuff and would like your help.
Im using your V3 shield and Im starting to wire everything up and all of that looks
straight forward but is there a way to use a probe with your shield??? If so how do I
do it as I dont see a pin for it.
Thanks
Rodney

Bertus Kruger
Hi Rodney, The V3 does not have the Probe specially exposed.(The next board
to be released soon will have it) But if you look at the top right of the shield
there is a 4x2pin header and one of them is labeled as SCL. That is the
A5/Probe pin on the UNO.

Hi. GRBL 0.9i has a small change in pin configuration(PWM spindle). Z-limit and
Spindle enable pins swapped. But that should not affect the A5 probe pin. Are
you using the the A5 pin or the SCL pin? What is your Probe setting($6)? If you
are not using Probe you can set $6=1 and add a stronger Pull-up resistor to get
rid of any noise.

Hi Bertus. Heres what I have and what;s going on. Windows Vista 32 bit, GRBL 0.9,
Ver 3 CNC shield, clone A to Y axis, set VREF for .8a, 3.75 degree steppers on
A4988 drivers per Pololou directions. What happens is the A & Y do not turn the
same. They shudder and one may turn 3/4 turn, and then the other. X & Z will
shudder and whine also. Ive even reset GRBL for 96 steps per mm from the
default, swapped motors, swapped drivers, still they shudder and whine and dont
turn the same. It was no different with GRBL 8. Any thoughts or ideas where I need
to go next? If they turn for an extended period, they all run smooth but just on
start and stop.

Hi Bertus.
It looks like it was a bad driver.
