LOL, the first time I saw that, I thought it said āWelcome to VIā (Roman numeral 6). I was wondering if Ryan had released two more Lowrider versions without me noticing.

Great, now I have to get a big graphic with the appropriate hooded cultists, occult symbols of non-deterministic meaning, and mild-mannered goatsā¦ And all I have for now is:

Hi all, I am amazed and full of appreciation for everyones messages and following me up. I have not uploaded any updates as I have had a huge couple of weeks with my first born graduating high school and the begining of the silly season with work as we near the years end. But I can confirm that there is much that will be happening in the coming weeks. I have ordered a fair bit of components for the new build.
So many envelopes and little bags to sort through.

After a lot of time working on trying to get the BTT Octopus board to run grblHal and all the differences that will no doubt be a steep learning curve, ai decided to park that idea. 2 weeks ago I purchased the Jackpot 3 board and it came today. I have printed the standard case for it and look pretty neat. The colour scheme will be introduced to the final housing once I have worked out the wiring harness and all that jazz.
Tomorrow I will work out where I can have the case mounted and also hopefully finish installing the spoil board MDF pieces

You could always run klipper on the octopusā¦ But youd need another board or pc with it.
Yea, that was my original plan [check my first post] I have had multiple 3D printers work that way. I have so many Piās and stm32 boards that it why I was trying to sort out the grblHAL.
But itās a lot a work trying to make something work when the hard yards have been put in by @vicious1 and the community and we have access to the amazing Jackpot board, my extremely valuable time can be spent making chips and not trying to make something work.
Once this sweet machine is working I might take another look at the alternatives

This looks awesome. And I am really interested in the hall effect endstops. By like two orders of magnitude my least favorite thing to fix on the LR4 is the damn limit switch levers.
I have it working on klipper.
Really? With which board? GrblHal? Do you have a build thread?
SKR boards (and MANY others) run Klipper exceptionally well.
GrblHAL runs on SKR as well, also on Jackpot V1. Iāve never tried on Jackpot V3.
Yea, the Klipper OS can use many boards as MCUs. Klipper is more for 3D printing and thats my experience with Klipper. If someone has a build thread that clearly outlines the process to use Klipper with a SKR or other STM32 board please post the link. I spent a lot of nights search for such threads
There are topics on the forum, but are outliers.
One issue is, for example, orobās build is documented in a part of the forum called the lounge, which is where we do things like beta testing- and thatās a limited access section due to that.
Orobās machine was built starting during the LR4 beta period.
Hopefully the other builders that run Klipper will chime in here shortly as this is completely doable and those machines are out in the community.
