I can't seem to find the .hex file to run XLoader. Any advice? |

Hi @southwcm, Considering that there can be many many different configurations (number of axes, naming and cloning of axes, change of pinouts, ...) it does not seem possible to me to provide a hex file for all. @++; |

Okay, I'm trying to follow the instructions you provided with what I think is the latest Grbl-Mega. I'm trying to load this onto my Arduino Mega 2560 to power a Ramps 1.4 shield set. Is the latest version grbl-Mega-5X-edge? When I try to add the library, it says "Specific folder/zip file does not contain a valid library." I made sure to delete the previous GRBL libraries as recommended. Your help is greatly appreciated as I am relatively new to the Github/Arduino world. |

Hello @southwcm, Are you under Windows or under Linux? In the downloaded zip file, there is a directory named "grbl" under the global "grbl-Mega-5X-edge" directory. You need to copy only the "grbl" sub-directory to the libray location of your Arduino's system. @++; |

Yes, the grbl-Mega-5X version you downloaded on https://github.com/fra589/grbl-Mega-5X/ is the latest one. |

Hey,
In case you don’t know where your Arduino library is located. Google is your friend… |

Hi @southwcm,

You must configure and compile yourself the version corresponding to your needs.
The easiest for most users is to use the Arduino software. The procedure to build Grbl-Mega-5X and upload it to the card is described in the wiki here:
