Greetings, Miles. Welcome to the V1 community forums.
I’m transcribing the topic subject below as it’s the only text in your post (Makes it easier for those that reply in this topic)
Jackpot 3 x axis not working. already tested stepper and cables on y driver. just got this board today
There are a few things we should do in troubleshooting your system.
First off, from the terminal if you type $SS , the system will show you the startup messages. Copy and paste that here in this topic using the preformatted text option from the toolbar. It’s the icon that looks like this:
That output will help us see what your controller thinks its’ state is.
Next, if you have any extension cables in the wiring to you X stepper, make sure that the junction is tight and secured with an “S” bend as described in the build instructions here.
Finally, if you have a DMM, you can power off your controller, and remove the X axis stepper cable from the Jackpot. Measure the resistance of coil A and coil B. If you have an extension cable, you can leave the meter on resistance mode across a coil, then wiggle the extension joint. If there ie any intermittence we need to fix that before proceeding.

this is without drivers connected. im assuming i killed the x port and want to use the c port but i dont know how to do that. i see a line in the settings on fluid nc that says .yaml or whatever but i dont know how to access the port addresses to change x to c
We are actually looking to see what it says when it has power to the drivers.
These lines let us know what is happening, but show us nothing without power.
What happened? It is not easy to pop one of these drivers usually.
configXCswap.zip (1.6 KB)
Unzip this file and upload it to your board with the web interface overwriting the one that is there. REboot and now X will be on the C port.
thats what happens trying to connect to web interface with usb.
i dont know what happened, nothing at all actually. i just assumed i did something because everything else works
connect via wifi to the SSID “Fluidnc” in the webpage that comes up you can use the file section to upload the config.
What you are showing is the firmware installer, you can do it that way but it has to have a USB, USB drivers, and only upload the file do not erase the whole board. More info on that way is in the jackpot firmware page.
Well I think I completely f***ked it up now. I shouldn’t have messed with it in guess. Ill buy a new 1 just sucks waiting for it
Nothing but error codes and invalid config messages
That’s unlikely from just trying to load a config file.
What happened to it after the last set of replies?
That is fixable. It may seem AFU, but one of the good things about FluidNC machines is they’re run by config files so it can always be fixed. Of course, one of the bad things is if the config gets messed up, it can seem horribly hosed.
Most likely, we can fix this.
ok im gonna buy a new one, but in the mean time fix this 1. just so you know i dont know shit about computers. whats the next step?
That’s OK. We got this. It might take a bit, but we’ll get it.
From your screenshots, it looks like you have a Windows 11 computer.
Turn on your jackpot, let it boot.
Then on your computer, see if you can see a wireless access point named “FluidNC”. If so, connect to it. The default password should be 12345678
Once you connect, windows may complain it doesn’t have internet access. Sometimes windows screws with you in that circumstance. If it disconnects, we’ll fix some settings that are kind of dumb in windows. It’s OK if that happens.
After you connect, point your browser at 192.168.0.1 That’s the default web server for your Jackpot. Get us a picture of what you see on screen, we can go from there.
If it doesn’t work then we can still make progress with pictures of what it’s doing.
This part can be super frustrating but we’ll get through it.
Edit to add- it seems we have a big time difference between us, and I’m getting ready to travel in a couple of days. If things are laggy with me responding that’s why. We’ll keep working on it. Hopefully the rest of the community will jump in to help.
Yeah, we can easily fix this. Lots of options, I even have a little script for windows computers that will do it semiautomatically if we have to .
OK, we’re making progress. From your screen shots, note the panel below that says “Files”:
You want to use the drop down arrow and change it to flash instead of SD.
Then you can use that panel to upload a new config.yaml file for your machine.
After that, you reboot it.
There is an error saying it cannot load “myotherconfig.yaml”. It might be better if you just reload all the stock files and settings and let us help you with your changes.
K, think i did that already but ill try againi think i did that but ill try again
it seems to load really fast and then does rebooting take a while?
