MPCNC - Estlcam ver 12.072A Configuration

[BillN]

Newbie here. I just completed my MPCNC build using the Jackpot Controller along with a successful Crown Test. I am trying to get Estlcam configured and the directions do not seem to match the upgraded version. There is no option for Marlin and I do not know what the configuration settings should be. Any help or insight would be most appreciated. Once I get the information I will take screenshots and create a configuration video. (If this information already exists and I missed it please point me in that direction and accept my apologies.)

@BillN

here is no option for Marlin

Jackpot runs FluidNC, nor Marlin. FluidNC is a GRBL derivative.

I haven’t used Estlcam 12, so someone that does can fill in the details.

Start out by selecting GRBL, not trying to choose Marlin.

Thanks for your suggestion, I will steer clear of Marlin, unfortunately I am not seeing GRBL or FluidNC as a preset either.

You are in the CNC controller setup, you do not use the controller. What you need are the basic settings.

Thanks That is Super Helpful! Evidently there are two Estlcam programs:

I was attempting to configure the CNC application and I should have been using the CAM application. Here is the Basic Settings screen which seems to make sense. Can someone let me know if I configured the settings correctly?

Looks good to me. Maybe set the units for the dxf import to mm as well. I also have clearance set to 3mm, but 5 is good for a start.

P.S.: Feel free to mark it as the solution.
