Easel, connecting and probing - Jackpot

I have ended my trial period in Easel long before I build my Lowrider 4 (Jackpot) so I have a question to you folks who subscribe to Easel pro. Can I hook up my jackpot up via wifi and jog it around setting work-home and probe ect? Wifi works with Lightburn, but does Easel support wifi connection to grbl maschines like the Jackpot ?

My understanding is that you can do all the things you’re asking about (Jog, Probe, etc.) via the Jackpot web UI, no need for third-party software.

In the case of Probing, you likely will need to set up a macro button.

I’m looking at Easel myself, but haven’t tried it yet, and I’m waiting on my Jackpot board, which should arrive this week.

I’ll test things out and post a note here on what I find.

theres a probing section in fluidnc webui, if its not on by default, you can enable it, would be better just to add that code in the START settings of the Cam software, so that way you have it when you run your machine

that said: i often repeat the same jobs over and over with the sme thickness materials, i only loose my z reference with bit changes ( dull bits/broken bits or change to vbits) i have more than 5 days without probing :slight_smile:
