was curious if I can directly control the lowrider 4 with jackpot controller from v1 with estlcam. In stead of using fluidnc local?
Not as far as I know, controlling via estlcam requires different firmware which isnât available for the esp32/jackpot.

Dang that would have been neat
No that is only available on the ESTLCAM specific board. What feature do you think you are missing, maybe we can show another way to do it?
I just thought it was pretty neat how he had several options to square up a work piece. For example he probed along the y axis of the work piece then again in 2 spots along the x axis and it would square the machine with the work piece.
Right now I have lines on my spoil board that I line up my work peace to. Which works fine. I just thought some of those extra options were neat.
Also how he could pause a job and jog the machine around and then start it again and pick up from where he stopped ,was pretty cool too. When I pause mine it wonât let me jog around.
Side question. My son uses fusion 360. I know nothing about it. Can fusion 360 be used like estlcam. Will it generate tool paths , probing, and tool changes. Like when I set up etslcam.
I used that function maybe twice in four years, it normally does not matter at all⌠You have some sort of guidance on the table as well and mostly you are cutting out stuff. But even with a groove on a cutting board you just push it to your fixed corner and thatâs it. 
This is indeed awesome, also for a toolchange. You can jog it around wherever, change the tool, put Z in and itâs going to start at the right spot again.
