Hi, ok, i understand what you mean, this is 'work as designed', little bit different to mesa 
but i will check how to connect directly on startup.

Just updated to the dev branch and tested the new feature with the Tang Nano 9K: it works perfectly!
The board now starts communicating and reading inputs immediately as soon as LinuxCNC launches, completely solving the startup issue.
Huge thanks for implementing this so quickly and for being so attentive and responsive. Really appreciate your support!

Dear meister:
I’d like to correct some information. While browsing through the old posts, I noticed that on page 100 you shared a product link. However, that is actually not my product link, I only sell my products on Taobao. Based on today’s exchange rate, the price is approximately USD 29.61.I only had a small batch made by JLC for my own DIY projects, so there’s no real cost advantage.

Why not post the correct links here again? You could also add a bit of information about your Carrot board.
@all: With some projects, people complain when someone builds and sells hardware for them. You don’t need to worry about that here – it’s an open-source project, and I have no financial interest in it; it’s just a hobby. On the contrary, I’m actually really pleased when someone else offers others the chance to get ready-made hardware. I’d be delighted if there were even more of these available – and ideally in a way that means you can order them here in Germany too (AliExpress?!?)
OK, there’s just one thing I do expect: if you end up becoming millionaires because of this, you can treat me to a meal ;P
Best wishes, Olli

Since you said the link was wrong, feel free to post the correct one and do a bit of promotion for your Carrot Board

Dear meister:
item.taobao.com/item.htm?abbucket=19&id=...%7D&xxc=taobaoSearch
This is the link.
1.I am not sure if it is appropriate to post my product link here; if not, I will remove it.
2.I’m not a merchant; I’m just a DIY enthusiast. In my spare time, I make small items and sell them in my little Taobao shop. When a customer from China makes a purchase, I get a notification via the Qianniu app; the order includes a Chinese shipping address, and after paying about $1 for shipping, the buyer receives the item in a few days. However, I have absolutely no idea how to handle orders with foreign addresses. I’ve had English-speaking customers place orders before, but the delivery addresses were still within China, so I assume they were likely foreigners living there.
3.I would be very happy if someone could check out my little shop.

Hi Tim if you can post the Gerbers or Kicad that would be useful since Riocore is a open source project.
Cheers

Hi kzali:
Of course,I post files on Github:https://github.com/TimBBB/DirtyBee-Carrot-BOB
However, I want to remind you that if you plan to make the PCB yourself, manual soldering will be a bit difficult.
