Is’t has been often the sign that the firmware is not un-zipped/unpacked to it’s separate folder. It will not load if you try it from within a compressed file. ---

Both should work, at what location are you extracting the firmware to? In the arduino software you should see all the modules at the top. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/2X/c/c5244821d8ac28c5b39e15b66f45d9d28059cf86.png) ---

Is the power plug connected to the motor-shield and NOT to the arduino mega? Happened to all of us 🙂 ---

A screen shot of GC (GroundControl) when it starts would perhaps help. Does it show a connection to the board and report the board versin and FW and GC version when you start GC? ---

To exclude things I have up to one hour. Report back please. - In the Arduino IDE (Arduino software) connected to the Mega, click on the magnifying glass (top/right) and report back if it looks like this after you set the ‘baud’ to 57600 (red)? ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/2X/1/115b5435b3756419face6fd131a3a95b8a816034.png) Edit: GC should greet you with a ‘connected’ screen like this: (if on win$ the first line will show a Com-Port rather then my linux port): ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/2X/e/ee7c115ea4f32709ecbbeee4741cd1b8df0adf02.png) ---

> [@sarham6](#): > > After modifying the baud, I have the following: > PE: 0.00,0.00,127 > MPos & WPos are all with zero value So you have uploaded the firmware successfully! Check your port in the bottom right. Close the Arduino software and give a few seconds before opening GC. In GC click on → actions and then on -\>ports and choose the same port that you used to upload the firmware. Click → connect. GC should now show a ‘connected’ and report like in the picture above. ---

Thank you. What is the meaning of “hook the third link on the right motor…”. After using “pull chain tight and measure button” the chain become tight for a second and make a sound and has some slack again, so is this normal and how can take the measurement in this case? Measurement from which points? Is there is a way to be sure that the machine cancel the old figures, or this not important? ---

> [@sarham6](#): > > What is the meaning of “hook the third link on the right motor…”. The picture in the bottom right corner of that message is showing the “third link” hooked to the top of the right motor. The most important thing to take away from the instructions is that you cannot manually lay the chains across between the two motors and then hit measure. You must put the chain on the left motor as shown in the left picture and then hit “extend” button repeatedly to have the left motor feed out enough chain to get it to attach to the right motor, as shown in the right picture, which then results in the machine looking like the middle picture. Only then can you press “Pull Chain Tight and Measure”. ---
