Hi, I currently have a basic grbl system running on an arduino with external stepper motor drivers. I am using Openbuilds Control software v1.0.382 on a PC and this has worked reasonably well until recently when I have developed IME errors when machining aluminium ! I want to rebuild my electronics so you the root controller looks perfect ! I have installed fluidnc on an esp32 and found the web-installation very easy - thanks to everyone’s hard work. Can I continue with Openbuilds control via usb or should I be looking at using a tablet ? Peter ---
