New Jackpot V3 won't downgrade

[FremanW]

(Jackpot V3 is connected to computer via USB while doing/trying load firmware - it is not connected to my MPCNC yet)

I received the Jackpot V3 yesterday from elecrow. It had some web demo firmware installed so I went to https://installer.fluidnc.com/ and installed the latest 4.0.2.

Then I went about setting up the FluidTouch Pendant https://forum.v1e.com/t/fluidtouch-wireless-fluidnc-pendant/ . Got that going however 4.0.2 is not tested, so I went to downgrade to a 3.9 version of FluidNC….

First problem is “Could not determine the MCU” –> this did not happen on the first install of 4.0.2

If I select and try to fresh install 3.9.9 it fails with…

Did you install the USB driver?

If you did, I have a file I can share to morrow that will surely wipe the board. With that said 4.0.2 should be fine. We are testing it now as the new release. I see no reason not to use it currently.

[FremanW]

Yes, I did install the USB driver (it didn’t have its own installer I had to right click on one of files and then select install). (Win x64)

I’m also getting the same behaviour when I boot to Linux and try there.

[vicious1 (Ryan)]

So is there a reason you are trying to go backwards? We are all hopefully going to be updating to that soon.

FluidTouch - Wireless FluidNC Pendant

What FluidNC version are you using? If a v3.9.2 version, port 82 is good. If v4.0.2 (which isn’t tested/recommended for V1 machines yet), it needs to be port 80. I would turn off FluidTouch and restart the controller to see if you can connect. On FluidNC v3.9, when both the WebUI and FluidTouch are connecting to the websocket on port 82 (which is true for WebUI v3), they will only allow 1 to be connected at a time. If the WebUI works once FluidTouch is disconnected, they may be fighting…

Jason Yeager told me it is not recommended to use yet with his fluidtouch. So I thought I’d err on the side of caution and downgrade it.

I am more concerned that the board might be faulty (the issues I mentioned in the first post don’t seem normal) and potentially will be stuck on the current installed version forever.

[jeyeager (Jason Yeager)]

I think it’s fine to use with FluidTouch, just last I knew from a V1E standpoint, v3.9.9 was the recommended version for use with the Jackpot. My testing so far on v4.0.2 has been ok.

@FremanW

First problem is “Could not determine the MCU” –> this did not happen on the first install of 4.0.2

I get this too, but it hasn’t been a problem. You just select esp32 and continue.

Once you click install and see this message, you need to press and hold the boot button for a few seconds.

If you don’t do that, you’ll see this.

I think that’s all this is.

[FremanW]

Fantastic, I’ll give it a go to put my mind at rest.

[FremanW]

Pressing the boot button worked and it proceeded to install the firmware without errors. What a relief.
