I received my jackpot board and can not get it to move the machine. It seems to be set up correctly and I have the end stops set to true. It scrolls through the code as if it is reading it and executing it but produces no movement.
The drivers get warm as driver tend to do when they are energized but no movement.
I’m coming up on a deadline and need this project to come to an end soon. It is for a bottling machine that needed 5 axis/motion centers.
I can’t find much online in the way of a manual or instructions. I am very familiar with Mach3/4 but this is not similar at all so I’m out on a limb. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’d even pay for a phone call from someone with actual knowledge of the system that could walk me through its ins and outs as I do not have two more weeks to dig and fiddle with just the motion controller. The Gcode is written and tested in Mach3. I just need this board to work asap. Thanks, guys 
A photo of how you have the board wired would be helpful as a quick sanity check.
Bret has been dialoging with me via email, and plans to post more details here tomorrow to seek advice. I am confident in our chances of helping him get going.
Post your config.yaml and the output of $SS (From the web terminal or from fluidterm).
What version of FluidNC is on your setup?
I sent him the same via email.
We shouldn’t troubleshoot over email; posting in the forum helps other users and lets the whole community participate in the troubleshooting and learning process.
Completely agree!

I attempted to upload a zip file of the ymal but received a notification that as a new user i am not allowed to upload files.
I have an 8825 driver for the C axis as long as mixing the driver types is ok. It is for the clamping function and doesn’t not have to sync with any other axis movement and doesn’t need micro stepping either.
If it will harm the board to mix drivers then I’ll order a 2209 but I’d much rather use what I have.
The purple is to 5v not ground. Fat fingered it 
OK, so both the original MPCNC and the LowRider version of MPCNC use 2 steppers for 2 of their axes and 1 stepper for the other one, thus 5 drivers (2 + 2 + 1).
Which of the axes get 2 steppers versus 1 stepper, differs between the MPCNC and the LowRider. The LowRider uses 2 steppers each for Y axis and Z axis, and 1 stepper for X axis. The MPCNC uses 2 steppers each for X axis and Y axis, and 1 stepper for Z axis.
Notice that your config file that you sent, says “MPCNC” at the top — which means either you requested that firmware config flavor choice, or you did not catch the choice on the order page, and you got the default. No matter. We can fix it.
Based on your wiring diagram, you seem to need one stepper per axis, for 6 axes.
Notice below, that your X axis has 2 motors assigned to it. It needs edited so it only has one motor assigned. Likewise, your Y axis has 2 motors assigned to it. It needs edited so it only has one motor assigned.
I will try to create an edited version, but in the meantime, consider the following — motor 0 is the first of two, and motor 1 is the second of 2:
From your current file:
X has two motors. Needs to be one motor.

Attached is an edited config that seeks to have one motor per axis for all 6 axes, and no sixth driver yet, but later one could be added, presumably another TMC2209.
If you want to use it with a 6th driver installed, a new “C” section can be added.
New config edited by Doug Joseph.zip (2.2 KB)
To our other genius makers here, please consider checking my work to see if I made any mistakes.

That’s certainly a good point. I replied via email because he approached me via email, and I encouraged him to come to the forum while answering via email.
Ok that makes sense. I’m still not sure why I get zero motion from any stepper but it’s a start. Also having the C axis available is going to save me several hours of wiring and coding an RPI Pico to run the clamp so thanks a ton for the info on that. I was unaware it was a usable port until you mentioned it last night.
I just got in from work so I’ll grab something to eat and get to work on the machine. I hope to get it running tonight. The help of everyone on the forum has renewed my confidence.
Got it. May I suggest that unless someone who knows for sure, says that mixing and matching drivers is OK, and advises us on how to edit the config file for that, then consider just getting another TMC2209 driver (they are affordable and usually sold in batches), and in the meantime, to test the config file I sent, perhaps just comment out the C section.
Also, you can use a PC or phone or tablet to connect to the Jackpot via Wifi, using a browser, and the Jackpot will serve a web page to your browser that is a webUI control interface, and you can use the homing button and jogging buttons to test for movement. That’s probably more advisable than trying to run a GCode file to test for movement.
Just for the sake of time I think I should probably not throw the C axis into the mix until I have an answer from someone on the mixing of driver types. I hate to get into a situation where I’ve caused a fault due to a driver not being recognized etc. Do you agree?
Yes, I actually had mentioned that in a couple of places above. Just comment out the C section by adding a hashtag (#) at the start of each line of the C section. If you like, I can attach another config file that has that done.
