Error Compiling "warning: "max" redefined"

[CobaltEcho]

I've tried compiling/uploading several times, watched videos, re-read the instructions, followed step by step. And every time I'm getting this error:

On an Arduino Nano and using Arduino IDE 1.8.15

Same problem here, @CobaltEcho did you find a solution?

Those are just warnings, not errors.

They are a known issue in https://github.com/gnea/grbl/issues/228

You can work around them in a couple ways, per https://github.com/gnea/grbl/issues/228#issuecomment-1100454342

My preferred way is to use https://github.com/gnea/grbl/wiki/Compiling-Grbl#build-as-a-normal-arduino-ide-project

I use this procedure for a grbl install :

1. From the command line:

   git clone git@github.com:gnea/grbl.git   # download grbl
   touch grbl/grbl/grbl.ino        # create an empty grbl.ino file for the IDE

2. Open Arduino IDE

3. File/Open/ (navigate to the grbl.ino file and open it)

4. Compile and configure in the IDE
