New Lowrider, some controller questions

Just posted this on the touch plate:

I’m using this one but I like the look of the one @robertbu suggested better and I never actually use the screen or sdcard:

I have CNCjs via v1Pi (v1pi) running on a raspberry pi connected to the rambo 1.4
I connect to the pi via wifi from an old laptop using the CNCjs web interface. I also use the cncjs tinyweb pendant on my phone to control the machine for short jogs. If you have a laptop around making changes to firmware via platformio is really simple. Plugging the laptop into the board via usb allows platformio to detect the board and install the firmware easily. Understanding Platformio is a different matter.

Re: workflow etc,
There has been a lot of progress on the Docs
Some people are using Fusion360 gcode, others export dxfs and do the CAM work in Estlcam.

Lots of options!
