Long term build coming to the end

ZenXY Advice
1

Hi all.

I’ve been working on a build over the last 18 months. Which is a long time to learn and forget stuff. Ya’ll have been a huge help to a guy who doesn’t spend a lot of time with micro controllers and the like.

Previous thread:

I’m curious and learning, how do I load the software onto the control board?

I have finally got the table built for my build, and have installed the ZENXYv2 mechanism, and was working last night to get some patterns installed through the FluidNC interface, when I hit the wrong button at the wrong time and deleted a file that is probably more important than I realized.

The file I deleted is

index.html.gz

And now Fluid NC won’t do anything. So I thought I better ask for help before I made one mistake into a dozen; hoping someone can walk me through it, especially since I’m so close to finishing such a long term project.

I think I might need to reinstall the operating system on the board, and then upload the configuration files again?

And for clarification, do people generally load their ‘patterns’ from Sandify onto the microSD card and just run them from there?

Download and save the config.yaml is the most important that tells Fluidnc how your board works with your machine. Then just go to the Fluidnc web and install: https://installer.fluidnc.com/

Then reload your .yaml file. I believe the file you deleted is for the web interface

Yes, they do. Reach out to @jeffeb3 - he configures things so the patterns auto play on power up. I don’t know how he does that :slight_smile:

That’s the Web UI. You could put it back but it’s a pain, or you could…

Use the web installer, as Ron notes.

I’d probably use FluidNC 3.9.9 (my current “normal” build preference) or 4.0.4 (the latest development versions have changed a BUNCH of things and I advise folks to wait a bit more before going to the very latest).

As noted, put your config.yaml back. You may find it hard to download it with the Web UI broken. Do you have a good backup of your config.yaml?

I am almost positive that the config.yaml is in the other thread where ya’ll were helping me, so I’ll double check there before I proceed, and if needed, ask ya’ll if there is a way around the broken UI to download the file.

I was able to get FluidNC 3.9.9 reinstalled. Was able to download the config.yml, uploaded that to the board.

I am getting an error upon logging into FluidNC:

I dropped a small test pattern gcode onto an SD card and tried to run it from FluidNC. Did not quite get success, got another error code:

…but I feel like I’m real close!

Let’s look at your config.yaml file. Paste it here using the preformatted text option.

That option looks like this on the forum editor toolbar: </>

More information. I have been moving the table into its permanent home, and today I logged into the board and got this error message when I logged in:
