Hi everyone.
I am using estlcam v12 and would really like to use their controller. Estlcam controller cannot use wifi. And will not connect to my jackpot board even though I connect the small micro usb to my pc.
Estlcam Controller uses a proprietary board. @Tokoloshe and a few others can give you the needed info for that. You can not use Estlcam control on a jackpot board.

Thank you very much for the answer. Although it is a bit sad that it cannot be done. The Estelcam package otherwise has some good features that are simple.
Are there specific features you are looking for? Estlcam as a controller is similar to a gcode sender. There are several that you can use with FluidNC like the Jackpot.
For example, UGS can work with the Jackpot connected via USB or Wifi.
This still means you have to export gcode from Estlcam. I personally still prefer just using the built-in WebUI with FluidNC, mostly because I like v3 and running off the SD card is the safest, most performant option.
There’s also MillMage which is currently in a release candidate stage that is CAM + Control.

Well, I’ve never had a reason to probe X and Y, but they are simple G38.2 commands for each axis. Finding a corner like that is easy. You could create a simple macro for each axis in anything. It’s a bit more complicated but you could even create a macro that would probe all 3 and prompt in the middle telling you what to do next. I’m pretty sure I created one once, but never had a good reason to use it. I’ve also seen macros to find the center of a circle.
Those other probe options are interesting but I question how useful they are.
I’m not aware of a gcode sender like that.
