#lazyweb Hunting for an #ESP32 #CNC or #3Dprinter controller board, preferably Open Hardware but not essential, that is actually in stock.

Trying to #FluidNC and failing like a champ.

@vik good luck. Bart's stuff always seems only intermittently available

@vik that is a good bodge. I only have one tiny FluidNC device around here, but it can step like a good 'un

@scruss
Can you run the web GUI and bash gcode into the usb serial port at the same time? I presumed you could...

@vik I suspect so. The web stuff is its control GUI. I've mostly used uploads to the SD card, which are decently quick.

The only thing I know you can't do is BT and wifi at the same time, because ESP32 can't do that

@vik isn't it usually a Linux capable board?

@bonkers No, FluidNC uses ESP32's and is the successor project to GRBL, which usually runs on Arduino hardware.

I have devised a bodge which is to get an Arduino-format ESP32 WROOM board and plug it into an Arduino CNC shield.
