Hi. I get "Error compiling for board Arduino Nano." error on fresh install of Arduino IDE

Full Error message below:

One of the problems is this line:

   #define DEFAULT_SOFT_LIMIT_ENABLE = // false

You've commented out the true/false setting.

Something is messed up in your install of GRBL. The error messages says that the bad declaration of DEFAULT_SOFT_LIMIT_ENABLE is in line 519 of defaults.h but in the source code, defaults.h doesn't have a line 519. In all the other sections of that file the definition is '0', not '='. Someone added some bad data to your library.

Thanks guys. Found it -- also did not see where it was but there is an "=" instead of a "0" in the code on Github 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
