Probe out of print range error

Hello All. Thanks in advance for any and all help with this error. I am having trouble uploading the Marlin firmware due to the following error and since I'm a newbie at this, I'm not sure where to make my corrections. Using Arduino IDE and Marlin 1.1.9

Upload you Configuration.h and Configuration_adv.h to a google drive or similar online storage.
Post the link for us so we can look over it to help you with this firmware compiling error

Ok here goes. I built a printer from Thingieverse and it came with its own files but it was an older version of marlin which I can't find. I've included those and the ones I did in Marlin 1.1.9

Here's a link to dropbox for the files:

[www.dropbox.com]

Using Arduino 1.8.7 IDE and Installing the U8glib
And downloaded a Clean Marlin 1.1.9

I found that if
#define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 29
and
#define MIN_PROBE_EDGE 10
Are correct then in order to compile

You will need to change the line below to
#define LEFT_PROBE_BED_POSITION (MIN_PROBE_EDGE +29)

Will get you a clean compile.

Thanks for the help RC. I now get a clean compile but it times out when it is trying to upload. I've tried different com ports, different cables and different computers. I have even hit the reset on the board, unplugged it and closed Arduino IDE and restarted it and plugged the board back in but still get the same message. Oh, by the way it's a MKS Gen L v1.0 board.

Here is the error message I get:

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

? Does this controller have a previous firmware loaded.

If so then you should be able to see if the controller is communicating.
Arduino IDE 1.8.7 is telling you that it can not find the Controller PCB Com Port.

Try Plugging in the Controller wait a few seconds.

Selecting the Tools menu Tab (Click)
Select Port menu (Click)
Then select the new Com Port (Click)

After
Selecting the Tools menu Tab (Click)
Select Serial Monitor (Click)

You should see the controller sending data.

First I'd like to say thanks for all the great help and information. Roberts Clif, after trying your last suggestion and seeing that there was no communication at all going on, I tried a new board and Whala! Communication was made. I apparently corrupted something on the board in all my attempts to install the firmware. I was able to make changes to the firmware the first three times but on the fourth attempt, no luck and no more communication with the board. Yes I'm a newbie at this and I'll have to chalk this up as a $20 learning experience. Oh well, I guess I can experiment with re-flashing the chip with a programmer.
Thanks again.
