Thank you Anthony for posting these videos on the MKS-DLC32 v2.1 board! I am in the process of upgrading my K40 with this board and for me it has been a real slog. I am thinking of using FluidNC and your detailed videos have been very helpful to my understanding of the work that is required. They have given me a much better grasp of the board and FluidNC software.

[@LostCloudx4]

me too lol. I finally got it moving my K40... now hooked up laser tube and won't fire at all via lightburn :(

[@whitneydesignlabs8738]

Thanks for the video! I am fully supporting FluidNC, the 6 axis Universal CNC board and Bart Dring's work! Great stuff. Let's help get the DIY CNC community behind this concept.

[@rahimelhajdk]

I think this is the most helpful video about mks
Thanks bro

[@peterstrauch3126]

Thanks for this great tutorial.

I've discovered that the ESP32 only needs pin 0 to be grounded the first time it is programmed, thereafter it can be programmed without grounding.

Nice just ordered this board for laser engraver

[@LeonardoGPate]

Hey man, thanks a lot for sharing those videos! I am trying to run a core XY pen plotter with 2 TMC2209 and a MKS dlc32 2.1 but I am having some trouble with the servo to lift the pen up and down.
In the examples configurations file I couldn't figure out how to make a propper config.

[@rics_zip]

Will you still make videos of this topic (fluidnc, esp32, mks dlc32 2.1)?
I'm new with this too, and this video helps me a lot!

Hello, I have the same card. The Z axis is off and I can't move the motor. When I try to update the software to solve the problem, it does not see the card. Any idea how to fix the problem?

[@DanielRodriguez-cm6mh]

I have gone from standard grbl to fluid nc but I notice a change in the management of laser power... for engraving on methacrylate I previously used 200mm/sec 20 power and now I have to use only 5 power because with 20 it perforates the material, It seems to me that power management is not delicate... Can someone tell me how to solve this please.

[@JeffCanada-fh7dt]

Are this board conpatible with ortur laser master 2??

[@Schraubfreak]

Good video thank's for it. It's possible to get the Display to work?

Hi Anthony! Please tell me, what exactly makes FluidNC better for CNC than the default firmware? I want to build a small CNC milling machine for a hobby, and am wondering if I should reinstall the board firmware.

[@brakthehun]

There are pros and cons. FluidNC has much more functionality but default MKS supports a screen.

[@arinurcahyo]

Hi, Nice video and well explained. I bought this board recently too with the same version. btw, what advantages of fluidNC over MKS default firmware?

[@brakthehun]

For What I was doing,, I needed 2 y motors with 2 endstops (one on each side) along with an X-axis and it's own endstop.
I also have a polarbear CNC which I modified and I use fluid NC's custom buttons to focus and draw.

[@giova2927]

Hi Could you help me monitoring a cnc using fluidNC?

[@peterbardos7396]

A nice video. Can you tell me which board you used? The MKS DLC32 version 2.0 or 2.1? I can not see it in the video.

[@brakthehun]

2.1

[@shaneschuller2513]

Could this work for Plasma CNC table?

[@xConundrumx]

Yeah the screen thing is not FluidNC's fault. The MakerBase TFT is not open to customization as they don't provide access to the tools to 'reprogram' the firmware on that screen. I know, I asked a few years back.

Mam problemy plik.yaml otwiera się jako plik tekstowy nie umiem wgrać wykasowane mam wszystko co robić jak zmienić

[@francescofranceschini2258]

È possibile usarla su cnc 3018 con fresa è non con il laser

[@kifahzaidan4505]

Hi,
Thanks a lot, its really greate effort and great knowledge.
i need to do a project for a preset position linear actuator with a DC motor abd a stepper motor, with Arduino Mega or UNO but i am not able to write the code and the scheme, can you please help.
Regards

[@jamescullins2709]

How hard would it be to use external stepper drives like Geckos?

[@brakthehun]

From what I've seen of the Gecko drivers,, fluidNC should work fine.

Hi
I am Taljit Singh, from India... I am developing CNC router 8*4 feet bed size..... Earlier I opted. Arduino uno & GRBL sheild as controller
But now I go for MKS DLC 32v2...board, I flashes Fluid NC in board as you showed ( follow your instructions) but I had one problem, when I connect my limit switches to board, it disconnect automatically..... And COM not find the connection.... Can you suggest me the solution.
Thanks

[@brakthehun]

Check your limit switch wiring. Chances are you're grounding out the 5v and browning out the board.

[@joseluisnavarrete3426]

The s is for step, because stepper motor xD

[@angeloctaviocruzmartinez345]

DISPLAY COMPATIBILITY ???

[@grahamstewart79]

basic i2c display support was recently added to the latest release of fluidnc

[@nuxrohox-cortx-6222]

nema motor tipe?

[@brakthehun]

Nema17 84oz (steppers online) EBAY

[@zakariakhamees]

Can it run grblHAL?

[@brakthehun]

Sorta... grblHAL is outdated at this point. It does support ESP32GRBL.
