Y Min Pull Off Adjustment

LowRider CNC Advice

I need to adjust the Y min side pull off. I cannot get into an editor for the config.yaml file. Do I need to download it, edit it in notepad ++ and then upload it back or is there an available editor within the Jackpot 3?

Yes, that’s the way to do it. Just be very careful not to add any extra spaces anywhere. Yaml files are very particular when it comes to spacing.

OP should use the webintaller editor but any text editor should work taking account to not change formatting

The setting page has the pull off values right in the webui. The trick is to use the save macro on the homepage after to make it stick. No editor needed the instructions should have this part laid out but let me know if something is confusing.

Yeah, but thats for webui3 (thats what’s the op should be using) im still with webui2 :joy:

It’s still in both.

The setting page yes. You hit save and restart the controller.

To be fully clear for people unfamiliar with FluidNC configuration changes:

The recommended/safest option is to make the change from the Settings page as @vicious1 said.

  1. Change the values on the Settings page.
  2. Click Save. This saves the changes to the current running config, not to the config file.
  3. Test the values.
  4. If the values are correct, run the Save macro @vicious1 mentioned, or execute the equivalent terminal command:$CD=config.yaml. This will write the current running config back out to the config file.

Only after that should you restart the board.

If you restart the board before running the Save macro or $CD=config.yaml, the changes will be lost and the previous config will be restored.

There are other ways to edit the config, but they are generally less friendly:

  • Editing config.yaml manually after downloading it works, but it is easier to introduce formatting mistakes that can make the config unusable.
  • Using the Web Installer config editor also works, but requires a USB connection to the board and is usually more trouble than using the normal Settings/Save macro workflow.

For most users, the Settings/Save macro method is the best option to make changes quickly.

I found using the WebUI works great for any changes I may need. Nice job, for whoever built the interface.
