Hello friends. I am starting to learn CNC issues. I have an Arduino Uno, arduino IDE 2.0.4 for 64 bit Windows. The IDE environment doesn't want to take grbl.zip and keeps saying "Compilation error: grbl.h: No such file or directory". I already uninstalled it and installed it again. Still the same problem, but a different library, e.g. for ESP 8266 or servo takes normally. Thanks for advice. ---

Remove the shield from the Arduino UNO. This topic is also covered in a few places within this section so you could also look up GRBL with the forums own search. I have not tried it with the latest IDE but I know for sure it works with the legacy IDE 1.8.x Also which version of GRBL and please mention if it is an offshoot eg 32 bit GRBL or ESP GRBL. A link to your source would be of benefit. You might have to strip any extra folders off the library especially if it has the word MASTER in it. ---

GRBL is loaded [GitHub - grbl/grbl: An open source, embedded, high performance g-code-parser and CNC milling controller written in optimized C that will run on a straight Arduino](https://github.com/grbl/grbl.git), For Arduino UNO. I'm using a 64-bit computer, the IDE for it is 2.0.4. GRBL is from Github's grbl site, the latest out there. Now I tried to google "GRBL 64 bit" and it shows something, but I have to study. Well thank you ---

Ok that is a decent source. 32bit refers to the GRBL library and is nothing to do with your actual computer ! It is meant for boards other than the regular Arduinos. Going to try IDE 2.0.4 here to do an upload to a UNO in a short while. Will report back. ---

Download [GitHub - gnea/grbl: An open source, embedded, high performance g-code-parser and CNC milling controller written in optimized C that will run on a straight Arduino](https://github.com/gnea/grbl) (or [GitHub - gnea/grbl-Mega: An open source, embedded, high performance g-code-parser and CNC milling controller written in optimized C that will run on an Arduino Mega2560](https://github.com/gnea/grbl-Mega)) as a .zip file using the green "Code v" button and selecting "Download ZIP" Unpack the "grbl-master.zip" file. Copy the 'grbl' folder (from the expanded grbl-master folder) into the 'libraries' folder of your sketchbook folder. Select Tools -\> Manage Libraries... to re-scan the libraries folder. Close the Library Manager dialog. Select your Arduino UNO bord (or Arduino MEGA 2560 board) and the corresponding serial port. Select File -\> Examples -\> grbl -\> grblUpload. Upload that 'example' to your Arduino and that should install grbl. ---

Confirmed working with 2.0.4 here and GRBL 1.1F ---

Johnwasser, thanks for your tutorial, I have it and grbl works. I can study CNC further. Meanwhile, my Arduino IDE has been uploaded from version 2.04 to version 2.1. Thanks to everyone who helped me. ---
