23 December 2024 - Installed belts (love the design of the belt clips with different profiles), soldered end-stop cables, connected wiring, and then ran into an issue.
I soldered the 2 pins for NO use because I had everything together before soldering them. I forgot that they were 3 pin, and couldn’t see the 3rd one for NC use. Got that sorted out quickly thanks to the extremely helpful community here! After that I was able to make my MPCNC move the correct way and home. I ran out of time due to bad weather, but I should be moving on to drawing a crown within the next few days.
25 December 2024 - Merry Christmas !!! I have spent my little bits of down time on printing an enclosure for the Jackpot, and research (since it’s ugly outside). I’m currently reading up on Fluidnc commands, MPCNC workflow, cable management, and looking into the Fluid Dial Pendant. I know I need to work in baby steps, but I’m quickly realizing that due to my limitations of working outside in a temporary area, it’s hard to use a laptop for jogging and such. The pendant will help a lot I hope.
As far as cable management goes, I’m leaning towards using @trevordj ideas found in this thread
