new board arrived a week ago , been connecting sweet till today now just wont connect to laptop, still connects to a phone or tablet
want to control it from laptop not tablet .cant use sta as router is to far away, phone cant even get signal, laptop has cable direct from router
has anyone used bluetooth with esp32 instead of wifi and had better connection
I haven’t seen anyone in the V1 community try/use the bluetooth variant of FluidNC.
Do you want to try troubleshooting the laptop?
Have you tried forgetting the WiFi connection on your laptop and reconnecting?
What OS do you run on the Laptop? Do you have a picture of your installed Jackpot board?

Good evening, I have a LR2 and am finding that using the FluidBT build is the most comfortable way to control my machine.
A Recent changeset to UGS means that fluidBT is pretty reliable on macOS for machine control.
The only caveat is that if the fluidBT controller reboots then sometimes you have to re-pair with your machine.

I’m not sure anyone else here uses the Bluetooth build of FluidNC.
can you open up a new topic and provide more details of your setup? I’m intrigued by it.
Also- LR2! Do you have a build thread here?

Build Thread ? I am not sure what that is, but if you point me to one I could start it.
I have a bunch of my photos from my process but I do not feel like I am quite done yet as my endstops do not plug directly into my Jackpot board ( I have a ugly hand soldered breakout/bread board but that’ll take me 2-3 weeks until I have a real breakout board in my hands to try out. )
If you go to this spot on the forums:
From there, create a new topic.
Something like “LR2 with FluidNC BT” or whatever you want to call it.
Then in there, we love to see details of your build. Build logs, pictures, any cool stuff like your use of the Bluetooth firmware, etc.
We love, love, love to see what other community members are doing with their machines.
