One note / correction re part 1: If the “probe.g” macro script is located on the SD card, the “target” setting for the macro should be “SD” - whereas if the macro script is on the ESP’s built in flash storage, then the target would be “ESP” - sorry for any confusion. I corrected this and showed more, in part 2 🙂
Documentation for the Jackpot is available here:
docs.v1e.com/electronics/jack...
...and if you search that page for instances of the word "probe" you will see several mentions. Among them is the fact that a probe routine is present in the "Lowrider Starting Gcode" - which by the way, if you have probing scripted in that way, the gcode outputted by whichever CAM software you use (ESTLcam etc) will account for probing as part of each job. The "Lowrider Starting Gcode" is below, and it can be used for creating your own Probe Macro button on the Jackpot. Below, I have added "remarks" (commented out so they don't get acted on) to explain what the result of each gcode command would be:
G21 ; (assume part programs are Metric, as opposed to Imperial, which would have been G20.)
G90 ; (absolute positioning, as opposed to incremental, which would have been G91.)
G94 ; (interpret feed commands as inches/min or mm/min for linear moves.)
G92 X0 Y0 ; (set current position to values specified - and there are other code options for this.)
M0 (MSG Attach probe) ; (issue a message to operator to attach probe.)
G38.2 Z-80 F200 P0.5 ; (probe down to get thickness, allowing 80mm travel, speed 200, plate thickness 0.5 mm.)
G1 Z10 F900 ; (move upward in Z axis by 10mm at a speed of 900)
M0 (MSG Remove probe) ; (issue a message to operator to remove probe.)
M62 P1 (If used start spindle pin27 )
A huge "shout out" and thank-you to Ryan Zeller @vicious1 over at V1 Engineering Inc, and all the helpful crew at the V1E forum! Also to Bart Dring & Mitch Bradley & BrianD & Michael Melancon of the Fluid NC dev team!

Thank you for this. perfect timing as I'm just finishing my build of the lowrider with the jackpot board. first power up tomorrow.
Glad to be a help! For part 2 of this short, 2-part series, click here: th-cam.com/video/-ncJXaUvNDs/w-d-xo.html
Great Video! Thanks again Doug for the simple to follow instruction!
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks Doug, funny I send you a message and you were doing this video. It definitely helped a bit. I think there needs to be a video for newbies. One from when you first turn the jackpot on all the way to drawing the crown. Then maybe one on a simple job. Some of this may be written to follow but some like myself really need a visual. Once you see it's like oooooh DUH lol. Thanks for all you and Ryan do.
Your message is what prompted me to up and make the video. 🙂 I started when I read your message!
I've done at least a couple other videos about the Jackpot - nothing totally comprehensive but hopefully helpful. th-cam.com/video/OVDOo8U5uiw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/qWb81eBzrYY/w-d-xo.html
I agree, that would be really useful. I've found it a bit of a tough experience.
Right now, I'm trying to figure out why I can't draw the crown. I have Doug's probe macro and I've followed the procedure (home, run probe macro) but when I run the crown macro, the offset is wildly wrong (closer to zero rather than the spoilboard height) and it draws in the air. I would expect the probe macro to set the max Z offset from the home position and that the run of the gcode file would use the correct offset.
Another thing I would dearly love, is a run through of the settings in the config.yaml file. I have set my x, y and z extents by entering values of max travel along all three axes. I think this the correct procedure, but I"m not sure.
Having said that Doug's videos and modifications are really great and his work is really inspiring.
@@bunkie2100 if you get a chance, log into the V1E.com forum and post your probe script and we can check it out and see if we find anything in it that needs correction. You can also take some pictures or some video of what you’re doing and how it’s not getting the result you think it should get and that may help us to figure out what needs attention. I will definitely consider doing a video that is a walk-through of the config.YAML settings.
Looks like you got the jackpot controller working great, I seem to be having a problem figuring out which is x y z on the control board, any help would be great!
In the documentation for the Jackpot is a photograph with each axis labeled for both the driver location and the end stop location. If you get that it should help you get everything sorted out. Sorry for the delay in responding. Somehow I never saw your comment until just now.
