Updating GRBL, or any other Arduino Library in Windows

So GRBL that ships with Arduino is version 0.9. I needed version 1.1, Here’s a simple plan to update it.

Removing the old library

  1. Exit the Arduino IDE
  2. Goto C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries on windows
  3. delete the folder for GRBL if you see it there..
  4. if it’s not there, it’s in your user folder at C:\Users\[your user name]\Documents\Arduino\libraries
  5. delete the folder for GRBL there.

Adding the new library

  1. Exit the Arduino IDE
  2. Goto C:\Users\[your user name]\Documents\Arduino\libraries
  3. copy the grbl folder into there.
  4. Restart your Arduino IDE
