??? example "Control Options"
The Jackpot Control board can use most any control software that supports GRBL such as CNC.js or Lightburn, although most people will likely use the built in WebUI's wireless connection. This can be used from most any device that has a web browser. If you are using a small touchscreen you can even zoom in so the buttons are easier to hit.

We typically use the Jackpot board in AP mode (access point), this is a direct connection betwean your web enabled device and the board itself. No internet conenction is used in this case, this is a direct connection to the Jackpot only. Touch screens work (with zoom), or keyboard and mouse will work just as well.

??? Info "Other Networking Options"
You can also configure your device in STA mode, http://fluid.local, if you have a strong signal to your home WiFi network. This will get your board connected to your local network. This is advanced and not reccomended unless you are very confident in your networking setup. It is not reccomended to use STA mode until you are familiar with how the firmware and your machine work as it is very difficult to support and troubleshoot network issues. Please stick to AP mode until everything is stable with your workflow.

### Tests
The onboard LED's test the wiring connections. Our CNC standard is Normally Closed (NC) endstop wiring. This means you will have a lit LED when not triggered and not lit when triggered. The Probe is the opposite, lit when triggered.

You can also test the firmware by running "$Limits" in the terminal windows of the WebUI, this will show a real time trigger display. "!" to exit that mode.

-No memory card showing up - Try a [class 6 card](https://amzn.to/3t4lVgF), or slower formatted in fat32. New fancy high speed cards are hit or miss. [A1 rated cards](https://amzn.to/3PRpYpx) seem particularly troublesome.
