Somebody mentioned on the forum that latest version of fluiddial supports wifi.
I’ve made a wireless battery powered CYD pendant in @vicious1‘s case and some spare lithium battery. My CYD support battery charging but unfortunately does not support shutdown. the button on the side should shut it down but it doesnt so it is always running. I’ll add an inline switch to be able to turn it off
Latest version of FluidNC is needed and you also need to build the latest master of fluiddial from github which is easy using vscode and platformio Commits · bdring/FluidDial
like to a wiki with documentation: FluidDial Wireless | Wiki.js
then just connect a lithium battery to the battery pins of the CYD. or as a poor man solution plug into a powerbank and stick tape it to the back
Tried homing a jogging and it works very good. Set the jog step to 0.1mm then it becomes very controllable and responsive
I was planning to build a wired one but did not have the RJ11 cable and connectors ordered on time.
wireless one is even better no wires to mess with or static to potentially damage jackpot
my jackpot has a static IP assigned on the router but should work with mDNS as well
Time to remix the case to have a place for 18650 and a toggle switch to turn it off
I have a regular FluidDial but I don’t use it. I never built a CYD version. There are like 3 different firmwares out there for the CYD version. There’s one for the PiBot CYD version which was developed by Luc, the WebUI developer. There’s another new one out there too which might also support wireless.
I tried it yesterday and it set my cyd Into a reboot loop not sure I trust it yet. I reloaded v1.1.2 back on and everything working again. I may try it later after it’s been out a while.
