Hello.

I was hopping to get a little help. I have tried everything I can think of to get my gShield v5b to work, no matter what I do I can not get it to respond to anything.

I have tried mhackney hex file, I tried SeeMeCNC's hex file. I have tried compiling the code from grlb github and nothing.

The arduino uno seems to connect with no problems.

thanks for any help.

I have made a little progress. I manage to get Grbl's firmware from github to work. I had to move the files from the grbl folder to the main liberary folder. Then I was able to compile it on to the Arduino Uno.

However, I can not get the endstop to work. I have it connected to the pins that SeeMeCNC instructions told me to, but I am guessing because I used different firmware, it is not aware of the endstops pin location
