Not per se, but you need to be methodical about this.
Let’s start off by seeing what your board is doing.
From the terminal, send the $SS command, and then paste the output back here in the forums. Use the preformatted text formatting option from the forum editor toolbar. It looks like this: </>

Here’s your first problem. You don’t have a proper config.yaml on your system, so FluidNC has come up in demo mode (NO IO defined, no real motion possible).
You need to get the proper config.yaml for your system loaded to the controller.
You said you have a JP3, so it should be here: https://github.com/V1EngineeringInc/FluidNC_Configs/releases/download/2025_November_14/JP3_LR.zip
how do i do this?
do i put this config on a sd card?
No, you need to upload it to the flash. You can do this a few different ways, but the easiest is to hook it up to your computer and copy it over using the flash website. I’ve had issues with just copy and replace. You might need to delete the file first, then copy it over.
