I’m not sure what reason I have to do this, but sometimes you get an idea and you just have to scratch the itch. If you have the V1 8MB ESP32, and you’ve installed FluidNC to take advantage of that space, you can have both WebUI v2 and WebUI v3 on the ESP32 at the same time. You can then use macro…

All of the motion, commands, etc, pretty much everything you see in the terminal, works over the websocket I’ll be looking when I get back to try to shift more of that off the we…

Some more playing with Websockets. Took another ESP32 and had it connect to the ESP32 on the Jackpot via the websocket. So, when it starts, it connects to the same network as the other one, connects to FluidNC via websocket, and sends jog commands back and forth in X by 10mm. Now if I can just ta…

Ohhhhh, i have 3 esps somewhere!!! What joystick do i need???

Lol I don’t even know if this is going to work out and no where near ready for that level of sharing. Right now, this is mainly for my learning and entertainment. Still just shenanigans. The big thing is the WebUI uses a websocket as well and I haven’t yet determined if I can have both going at t…

[image] Jason Yeager: sends jog commands back and forth in X by 10mm Are you using actual jog commands or G1/G0? It looks like it overshot a little. I remember seeing jog commands at some point and the benefit there is that they don’t have to reach their destination if another command interru…
