Hi all,
just learn the FluidNC， if there is a basic step by step tutorial will be very appreciated.
Thanks

Are you trying to figure out how to use fluidnc and the web interface or how to actually setup your CAM to cut a part? Some more information about your system and machine would probably help everyone help you. Machine? Control board? Cam software?

Greetings, and welcome to the V1 community forum!
You might be looking for the milling basics page:
https://docs.v1e.com/tools/milling-basics/
You might also be looking for the Jackpot documentation page:
https://docs.v1e.com/electronics/jackpot/
If neither of those are what you’re looking for, then reply with more details about what you’re trying to do and what type of machine you have or are going to build.

Thank you Maker,
I’ll dig that links.
You need to provide more info about you board, the jackpot is a 5 steppers board.

Thank you Zach,
Yes, I’ll try to use FluidNC, but now I have just a 6 axis board and few stepper motors and drivers.
I hooked them up try to test the FluidNC first.
I followed the web install and don’t know whats the next, one motor just continue running when I pressed X home, and stop when limit switch touched? how to code X it?
Another is the WiFi just stuck at save after fill SSID/PW. how?
Thank you cesar.

I can’t attach links.
Jackpot comes with 5 stepper drivers, but has connections for 6 drivers total.
Is this you?

yes, it is.
I was guessing some thing wrong in installation.
Yea, that’s not on the list of supported FluidNC boards, nor does anything suggest that it might work with FluidNC. If your intent is to build a V1 Lowrider or MPCNC and use FluidNC, I’d suggest purchasing a
V1 Jackpot.
Also available through Elecrow for better international shipping. That does require sourcing the ESP32 and TMC2209 drivers separately.
There are other board options as well, but it is unclear what kind of machine you are trying to build.

Thanks.
I’ll find one here.
any Recommendation.
BTW. the board I bought is also Compatib with FluidNC, it is indicated in their webpage.
The problem is that the FluidNC developers know nothing about this board. Maybe you can get it to work but may require support from the supplier.
I see that it is running FluidNC 3.9.1. Did you install that? It is falling back to AP mode, so you should be able to access the WebUI if you connect to the FluidNC wifi network. Can you access the WebUI? If so, I would stick with that for now.
I’m really hesitant to help much here because I have no knowledge or confidence in that board. I have a Jackpot.
There’s [compatible with] as in “someone can make it work”, and then there is compatible as in “we support the developer (financially, and with code and documentation)”
Buy buying a board that doesn’t contribute financially and in-kind (code and documentation), you’re not helping the ecosystem, you’re helping to wreck it.
Part of the issue is that it’s an $8 board.
So the “Supplier” probably did the absolute minimum to get it functional (maybe), and will not support any problems since it’s likely not worth their time.
They claim FluidNC support because the MCU is an ESP32 clone, but the screenshots on the listing show an early 3.0.x version of FluidNC, which is probably 4 years old.
That is probably the last time they actually tested it with it. FluidNC has changed dramatically over that time.
Just a genuine ESP32 devkit cost more than the whole board.
Even if you get it working, I would guess you are asking for more problems down the road.
