Set up the Jackpot board and FluidNC today following the handy guide from Hamish here: Setting up FluidNC
First, I had to put in the new ESP32 - the first one I bought was completely the wrong one (30pin instead of 38pin). I couldn’t find an Expressif branded one, but managed to find one that said ESP32-WROOM-32 on it at least, so was crossing my fingers it would work.
First issue I came to was not getting anything showing in Windows device manager. Quickly figured out this was down to rubbish cables that are charge only and not data or something.
Rummaged through the cable drawer and third time was the charm.
Started installing..
Felt like my nan trying to use Facebook throughout the whole install but got there in the end, at least I think! We’ll find out when the actual CNC is linked up to it:
