Help with Fluid Webui-v3

Software / Firmware Jackpot Board / FluidNC
1

I am making progress, albeir slowly with by LR4.

I have her up and ruunning and have install the V3 GUI on my Jackpot and can connect. I am using AP mode only as its far from my network and at the limits.

I can move the head x, y and z directions by specified amounts, all good.

I am struggling to find out what the icons on the GUI are for, I guessed one set was to zero the current position to have coordinates as “zero” and the other set of icons on the UI as go to Home (or the previously zeroed position).

This doesn’t work and always ends with me sprinting for the power connector to the jackpot and pulling power. I’ve searched high and low on Fluid WIKI for a manual or reference guide, I’ve even scanned Discord for the answer, can someone point me in the direction of the info or tell me what the following icons on the Jog panel do?

2nd row in grid - x,y and z prefixed with house symbol

3rd row in grid - zero numeral followed by x, y and z

zero button with three dots (I presume it does all 2nd row buttons at once)

Thanks in advance…

Caveat - I’m running Marlin, so I’m not 100% familiar with the GUI, but…

A Home command will always (or should always) move the selected axis toward the limit switches amd stop when it hits the limit switch. It will then set the axis position to 0 (or some other number for Z). Zeroing at a location other than the Home location will not affect this behaviour.

Homing of the 3 individual axis

Zeroing of the 3 individual axis at its current location

Zeroes all three axis at their current locations. I’m assuming that you mean the third row

What does it do that has you running?

The WebUI is a version of ESP3D WebUI that was customized a little to work with FluidNC.

I don’t know how good the documentation for it is, but the link to the documentation is here

Great, many thanks, that clears up my misunderstanding of how things are supposed to work.

I didnt understand the function of “home”, I thought it was to return to a zeroed point. I also tested all the limit switches and found one was disconnected and another pair had been switched after a minor wire reroute. After fixing that it’s fantastic to see the machine home itself.

Ohh a treasure trove of more info I didnt find.

I will have to put my RTFM t-shirt back in the drawer and swap it for a FTFM one to replace it… thanks.

For this, try using a G0 X0 Y0 Zn command (n should be >0, otherwise the mill will contact the material during the move). Or just use G0 X0 Y0 to leave the Z axis where it is.

Thanks, got my head around some basic commands. I’m thrilled to see her moving so fast compared to the jog controls.

This link lead me to endless advertising, ended up rebooting. Sad state of the new internet

There are no ads there. Something may be wrong with your machine.

There are definitely ads. Especially on a PC. It’s awful.

Do you run an add blocker? I looked at that site and didn’t see any, but I run both a pihole and ublock origin in my environment.

I didn’t have any ads on my phone when I looked it up to post it, but opening it on my PC today I did.

I have visited that site lots of times in the past when I was working on the WebUI and have never seen the ads before

No.

I first noticed them probably a couple months ago.

I did not intend to divert from the topic, but the responses interest me. Can this be moved to something on its own?
