Hi @neerajbagi,

The compiling procedure is normally working everywhere. You probably have missed a detail in the compiling procedure: https://github.com/gnea/grbl/wiki/Compiling-Grbl.
You should have all the grbl files (*.c and *.h) in the "C:\Users\niraj\OneDrive\Documents\Arduino\libraries\GRBL" directory.

Hi Gauthier!

Thank you for your reply.

However, I was following the correct procedure for the installation of the grbl library. However, after several attempts, I have figured out the problem.

Only the 'grbl' folder within the Zipped source code package needs to be copied to the 'Documents/Arduino/Libraries' folder. If you try to unzip the entire Source code package into the 'Libraries', then Arduino does not recognize the library.

I think this was pretty fundamental. Since I am a beginner, I am learning it now.

Thanks for the help.

This is the one precision detail you missed as it is written in the compilation procedure:

Yes. I missed that detail.

Anyway, thank you.
