Hi, I live in Europe and fried my gshield a few weeks ago. I ordered a new one from the european vendor of Inventables. I was able to flash the grbl, and after I have send the .hex file. The x y z axes make connection with the gshield, the right lights shine up when I move the axes. Easel make connections but there is no tension on the motors.
After a hole day spended I need help 
Can someone guide me true?
Thx many times!
Wim
Do any of the motors move when you attempt to jog them in Easel?
Is your power supply working correctly? Sounds like a power issue. Your USB can power the board when your main power is off. Check that you have 24v at the gshield and that it is connected properly.
Are you sure your pots on your gshield are adjusted, sometimes new ones ship at zero
Motors don’t move in Easel, power supply working correctly, pots are not at zero.
I uploaded the grbl, and the .hex file, must I do something else?
Thanks!! Wim
How do I now if they are set right? Thx Wim
Give this a read and it will guide you, although if they are at least half way you should see movement of some kind
Ok I’ve connection!! Cleaned, reloaded grbl, uploaded .hex. Did it just te same way as before? I’ve movement but it is very weird. Wiring is ok, I checked twice. I suppose that I have to turn the pots higher, I just tried that, no improvement
Ok I’ve connection!! Cleaned, reloaded grbl, uploaded .hex. Did it just te same way as before? I’ve movement but it is very weird. Wiring is ok, I checked twice. Z and X are switched and there is barely movement (I suppose that I have to turn the pots a little bit higher), and Y is only going in one direction.
i had some problems with the x axis, it made a loud buzzing noise. One of the wires on the gshield didn’t make good contact.
Ik vermoed dat je uit Nederland komt? 
ik kom zelf uit overijssel.
Heb je je machine ook bij Robosavvy besteld?
Hei, I have ordered a new shield true the European vendor. Installed the GShield still there is something wrong. The Z axe works perfect, the Y doesn’t do much, there is a bit of tension on the motors (increased the pots, doesn’t help). The X axe just moves in one direction. I connected the X axe to the Z axe, this works perfect, same for the Y axe. Can it be that there is something wrong with the Arduino One? I’ve got 2 working GShields, so I think there can be just one problem. Maybe my way of thinking is completely wrong. Help is very welcome… Thx a lot
When you have the USB cable plugged in to get power to the electronics, the 24 volt power supply turned on to get power to the motors, you should see the blue LED and three green LEDs lit on the gShield.
Which stepper motors do you have?
Do you have a voltmeter that you can use?
Do you have HyperTerminal or Putty? (would like to see your grbl parameters, you can use either of these programs to get them).
Intro: I installed the cooling fan of arduino and gshield upside down. My machine worked ok for 3 weeks. Than the problems started. Only the Z axe is working probably. I have checked the wiring, increased the pods a bit,…
I ordered a new Gshield true your European vendor, installed it yesterday, nothing changed… I’m battling this problem for 2 months now. When I connect the Y or the X axe to the Z axe it works like it should be.
Found an guide for clearing the arduino and re upload the .hex file. When I try to clear the Arduino with the EEPRON_clear code I get the following message. Can you please help me? Thx!!!

Probleem bij het uploaden naar het board. Zie http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload voor suggesties.

This should not cause a problem. I have mine set up so that the fan sucks air out of the case, but that is just a personal preference. The X-carve works fine that way.
The boot loader on the Arduino expects a baud rate of 57600. Is your communications port set for this value?
