ESP32/S2/S3 LinuxCNC Controller (6 axis hardware step gen), USB plug-and-play

Who doesn't like a nice gimmick? See what you did there

this is also awesome:

Yeah that's already built into my project by default. See my github repo regarding the parts about ESP-NOW

This has been put on a bit of a back burner for now due to life priorities but I will pick it up again soon. I promise.

I'm very reluctant to release code that isn't optimised with all features and having been tested properly. Perception and quality matters, even for open source projects. Thanks to all of you for understanding and I truly value your patience!

Espnow is NOT a gimmick. Truly works. If you are able to strip it down to core functions it turns into some pretty wicked high performance comm stuff, I like it a lot. So much so that I engineered a whole spindle encoder for my parport mill's spindle. Can do rigid tapping at 4000RPM (if I wish) using a cheap 100ppr omron knockoff encoder. All wifi, no lost heartbeats, go figure!!

Idea was inspired by this one . Got to give the guy some credit, the idea is brilliant. I've just took it a notch up and  plugged PCNT, ESPNOW and a python serial interface for lcnc. Concept remains the same though, still a functional spindle encoder. Just WIFI lool

Nah I know it's not. It's capable of ridiculously low latency since it doesn't have the usual WiFi overhead and is point-to-point.

It's truly awesome. I'm really surprised more aren't using it tbf
