Does the stepper you have plugged into the X port work when it is in another port?
Are you sure all the driver pins are in on both sides of the socket. The driver will show fine if the entire right side is unplugged and the stepper will just not turn.
I NEVER hot swap. I know better. I donât even hot swap hdd that can hot swap.
Yes stepper and driver work in other ports.
Absolutely all plugged in
I will private message you a return label. You can decide if you want to just return it or swap it for another tested and flashed board.
Also remember that the A will only run in one direction with both +/- moves.
I would love to have one that works. I really donât want to play sneaker net with my mill and also I might just need all four axes working at some time in the future.
Currently, that is still the most reliable way to do it. You can transfer files over wifi but I would give that a few more firmware updates before I would trust if fully. Larger files can stop a transfer without an error and not have a complete file. We at least need a file transfer error before I trust it more. I always use the memory card directly.
So i noticed that a motor says motor1 not motor0 can that cause this??
I will dig in more but I built a board myself and tested it. All my steppers worked as expected.
Wow, I knew that when i created the MPCNC I wanted joystick movement, (moving via the screen always messed me up, 10mm, 100mm, crap, too far) BUT WOW, silly me, I think i could have moved that with the controller all day and been quite content, lol. fluidnc 3.7.8 and UGS, (freshly downloaded today) work great so far, as Ryan said, LOL.
while ugs set up and connected, I decided to connect via web interface and it works well too.
So, Guess what, there was a problem, you have to download the LATEST version. Someone else just posted this and the response is below.

â Today at 5:32 AMUGS had a very strict version number check for FluidNC. And the FluidNC 3.7.10 got a slightly different version string which UGS couldnât parse. This should be fixed in UGS 2.1.2
Ryan,
Just to let you know my plans when the board arrives.
I have an i3 HP Laptop Touchscreen that I am going to dedicate strictly to the Sherline 4 axis Mill.
XYZ and Rotary on A
This board will be connected and will use CNCjs first to see results.
I will at that point message you with the results.
Under no circumstances will I change anything without your guidance.
Thanks you and everyone who helped with this problem.
Dan
Your steps per mm, and driver current will need to be adjusted for sure. Other than that, the rest should be good to go.
CNC.js should work now that you are using the latest release.
Just a heads-up, XMAS has started here. I am getting a lot more emails and random orders and order edits. That takes a significant portion of my day for a while. So if I am slow to respond, please be patient.
Is my understanding correct that the 2209 drivers current is set in the config for this board and drivers. Only the stepstick version is set with the POT.
Correct. Just giving you a heads up that we will need to edit your config but we can do that from the webui, or the config directly. I will test everything I can here before shipping it back out.
A post was split to a new topic: Config issues
If there is a way to rename y to x z to y a to z b to a
I have y z a b working just fine.
Software writes to x y z a
Is there any reason you canât just switch where the steppers are plugged in?
Not a problem with that. How do I make the software realize that when I tell it to move on the x axis it will not move on some other axis.
My mind only sees an axis marked X on hardware is the one software is going to address as X.
I remember reading that with FluidNC you can call an axis whatever you want to. How do I do that.
Yes, I am really that ignorant on this subject. Sorry.
