I know this a totally basic question but I am having 0 luck. Want to upgrade to Candle v1.1.7 to take advantage of some new adds. Found out 1.1.7 needs at least v1.1 of grbl to work so I need to upgrade from my current v08,1,0. Nothing I try works. Could some kind soul post some step by step instructions that you know work. I also use Easel for layout and translation which apparently won't work with anything over basic grbl v1.1. Many thanks.
Maybe you should say what you tried to avoid having to answer super basic questions like: installed arduino software? downloaded the grbl master? set up for the correct arduino? ...
Have tried their compiler 3 times, file never appears in my Arduino library. And yes I have the latest upgrade.
Then you may be copying it to the wrong folder on your PC: Arduino Libraries! What they are, how they work and how to install them
If you successfully build (Verify) the app in grbl/examples/grblUpload, the Upload button will upload it. You don't really need to know where the built file is. Though, the Upload button will also build and then upload it. If you are getting errors, copy and paste them in your response.
True confession time. Tried twice more to upload with the same result. X-loader would start "uploading" and stay there. Actually had to restart the PC to get it to release. Called a friend who I knew had some spare Uno's too try and when he came said "you know this is a Nano right" AAARRRGGGHHH. Set the X-loader to Nano and all's well. Why I was positive it was an Uno remains a mystery. Many thanks (and apologies) to those who responded. Onward.
