Glow Rider V4

thank you

I’m beaming with joy at my progress so far on the Glow Rider V4 :winking_face_with_tongue:

The next step will be bittersweet…I need to disassemble the MPCNC Primo.

It’s been a great machine for over a year now, but the LRv4 will be a more reliable and robust machine.

That looks great!! I think you’ll really like the easier workpiece load and unload with the lowrider as well.

I agree and the ability to reach the “back” of the spoil-board without awkwardly reaching over the front “X” rail.

Well, as the saying goes: “Dis-assembly is the reverse of Assembly.”

The Primo served me well, but now it’s time for its successor to take the reins!

The Glow Rider V4 has a new home!

I have not even finished assembly and I know already I’m gonna like this better than the Primo!

That is one hell of a fancy table! Hope you plan to make some cool looking joinery with that set up!

I love that table. Every time I see it I think about how I want to configure something like that vertical clamping section.

That is a very nice table and a very nice build!

My Fluid dial was not working in the JP3 RJ11 so I plugged in the rj11 module from Bart and got a “flashing” on/off when I booted up the JP3. I think I may have fried the JP3

Have I told you all that I hate/fear the Electronics side of this CNC stuff.

I have flashed the ESP and Factory Reset it and Loaded Fluidnc a couple of times but the “Controller is in reset loop” persists.

“play stupid games win stupid prizes!” <<< That saying was meant for me.

How did you wire the FluidDial pendant?

It was working on the JP1 with the FluidDial RJ12 Wiring Kit

https://www.elecrow.com/fluiddial-rj12-wiring-kit.html

Wiring Kit

Questions:

  1. Should the Fluiddial work connected to the JP3 Rj11 with the out of the box Cinfig.yaml file?

  2. Do I need to change the Config.yaml file to enable the pendant?

  3. The documentation says that the RJ11 on the JP3 shares gpio.12 and gpio.15 with the expansion module I assume that the standard configuration of pins on the JP3 Rj11 have rx and tx in the correct or same position as the RJ11 module from Bart is that correct?

  4. The stock Config file has no reference to gpio 12 and gpio 15 except for the commented out section for the pendant

If I uncomment the ##Pendant section and save and load this modified config file, I get lots of error messages >>> Which led me down the path to trying to get it working and ended with the JP3 fried

That should work. It is what I have in my config for the JP3.
