Meanwhile, is there any trouble shooting advice you guys may have or the correct sequence I should take to upload grbl. Here are things you should only assume. I have arduino 1.01 IDE, I have an arduino uno 328p, the arduino is only connected to the computer (windows 7) by the usb cable, nothing els...

I may have to buy one of those. Can you link to one that I can buy from ebay?

Ok - I purchased a brand new arduino uno from Radio Shack. Sorry I just had to have on right now and I was walking by the store on my daily walk at the Mall of America. When I got home one of the things that I discovered is that there is no boot loader for use with a hex program installed. So I had...

Yes, I can upload sketches from the arduino IDE.

I'm using xloader with the recommended baud rate of 57600. On the wiki it says it takes about 10 seconds, I've been sitting here for 20+ minutes and it still says uploading on the bottom left of the xloader window

I've tried numerous times to get grbl to upload, but it's not working. I have an arduino uno 328p and i'm using a buildlog.net rev 3 board. Can someone post the already configured hex file that I need. Thanks, Michael

Nicely done microwavesafe. I've come up with something very similar and I'm currently in the optimizing process. I'll start a new thread when I'm done

So do you guys think 24 to 26 gauge will be ok, that's all I currently have on hand. I will be using about 3 foot lengths plus the length of the wires coming from the steppers themselves.

Great thanks. What size wire have you guys been using to increase the length of the wires coming from the stepper motors?

Indeed the pictures show stranded, didn't see that. Can anyone tell me what color combinations are the two pairs?
