Check List · Step 1 of 12 · Get everything ready before you power on
🎯 Objective
To help new users get started smoothly, the board ships with FluidNC and a test config.yaml already installed. If you're a beginner, please do NOT re-flash the firmware or change the YAML until you have finished this checklist.
