Configuring of MKS_GEN_L V1.0

Question

I've bought a new "MKS GEN_L V1.0" and I'm trying to configure it with Marlin 1.1.X. I changed motherboard in configuration.h from previous:

#define BOARD_RAMPS_13_EFB 33 //RAMPS 1.3 (Power outputs:Hotend,Fan,Bed)

to

#define BOARD_MKS_GEN_L 53 //MKS GEN L.

I'm getting this error:

pins.h:268: error: #error "**Unknown MOTHERBOARD value set in Configuration.h**"
       #error "Unknown MOTHERBOARD value set in Configuration.h"
        ^

The motherboard definition in configuration.h should be written like:

#define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_MKS_GEN_L

actually the word MOTHERBOARD was missing and there is no need to write 53 //MKS GEN L at the end.

The number definition is declared in boards.h - you just confused the two files, indeed you should not forget to define the motherboard constant itself. Do note that this is basically a RAMPS board, see pins_MKS_GEN_L.h.
