Hello everyone. I currently have a LR4 (build here: Alabama LR4 Pt.2 (Laser Potentially?)), that is running klipper firmware via a BTT octopus/raspberry pi.
However, the number 1 issue I have is not being able to jog the machine around easily. In klipper, I can press an arrow key to move directions, but I have to switch between 1,10,50,100 mm at a time. And at times there can be delays or hesitations.
I am considering buying a jackpot 3 and switching over to FluidNC, mainly for this reason. There are a few more quality of life features I think it has over klipper for CNC work, since klipper is not really intended for CNC, but the main one is just general machine control.
I know there are several devices such as the fluid pendant that can wirelessly control the LR4, but I’m not sure I am a big fan of the dial/scroll wheel. Is there something like an Xbox controller/joystick option for easy jogging and general machine control? Or maybe like a macro keypad for setting part origin?
Thanks for all the support and help from the forum.
