LowRider 3 Jackpot Config

My configs should be good to go. I actually use the LR3 all the time.

Just to be sure. Set doesn’t really do too much, it sets the value but you would then need to go back to the home screen and use my “save” macro and power down and reboot.

If you do not use my save macro those changes are just temporary.

For me, my machine is configured like this for Y:

Hitting Y+ in FluidNC would move it to the right, but Home would move it in the negative direction, which is opposite of the end stops.

Is this backwards? Should I flip my motor plugs?

That same thing happened to me early on when setting my Jackpot for a JL1 laser set up.
I just re-loaded the 3.7.6 firmware and then reloaded my config.yaml (on the device, NOT the SD)

It hasn’t recurred since.

There might be some way to make the custom GUI not load- but if there is I don’t know what I did to trigger it. Very possibly I tried to connect my laptop network too quickly after I powered it on.

Can you poste your config.yaml in </> so we can review it?

Edit to add: The only way I’ve modified configuration is by editing a copy of my config.yaml and then re-uploading that to the root of the device. I,too, had weird crap happen when editing the default config (the one that gets used if there isn’t a config.yaml found.) don’t do that. (Now Ryan tells us to use his save macro… :slight_smile: )

Yes and yes

Will do that tomorrow and revert the config.yaml change.

Done for the night. Will try the crown either tomorrow or Monday.

Be sure that you have a consistent coordinate system.

As per the docs, Y should be reversed as Ryan said, so that Y- moves to the right and Y+ moves to the left. So far so good.

To go with that, X- should move towards the camera and X+ should move away from the camera to go with that. Home should be to X-

If you have one axis reversed, it will cause your machine to cut everything in mirror image.

Yep, that’s why I asked.

I assumed I would not get correct cuts if it wasn’t right. X and Z were correct and homing correctly to the switches.

Initially in my wiring, the Y’s were moving in opposite directions. I chose +Y that way because I guess it just made sense to me, but I don’t remember ever coming across a place in the docs where that was mentioned.

I haven’t really read much past the Assembly part yet though. Read through some of the milling section, but not the testing part yet.

Will hopefully get to that in the next few days
