Set the networking as described in the readme, connect stuff, open the included config folder, right click on the ini file and choose "open with" then linuxcnc.

thank you,
 I modified the network settings, I think I am connected, I cannot open the .ini file with linuxcnc because I do not have the option,
 the 2 hal and ini files must be copied into a configuration created by stepconf wizard?
 if I copy them in I switch to qtdragon?

First and foremost, this thread is awesome; I can't wait to get in here. 

Is there any real documentation on how to implement it? Maybe I'm just not finding it, so if someone could point me in the direction, that would be great. 

Thanks all! 

Keep up the great work!

Hello!
I'm new here and registered here because of this topic. Is it possible to get the firmware for an ESP32-S3? Or do I have to change something so that I can flash the ESP32-S3? I still have two of the S3 here and would like to test them as CNC controllers.

Thank you very much

Kai

At the beginning of this post there was a demonstration using only USB Networking (No Ethernet).
Does this function still exist?
I was able to build and install to an ESP32-WROOM, but boardconfig keeps setting to "Wowki Simulator ESP32".

Hello, I finally managed to install the program on the card, the card responds well to ping 192.168.111.1
 the configuration of the card with 3 motors too
 I copied the .ini and .hal files into a directory under configs and opened with linuxcnc but impossible to get the emergency stop button out?

Hello,I don't understand what's wrong. I think I connected the card to the ESP32 correctly, but I get an error message.

Try to set networking from serial, if it reboots do not bother with it as it will not work.
Something got left unfinished, the developer has not been around for a year or two, so short of you forking it and fixing it, there is not much use.
It also does not work with ESP32S3 despite him posting everything running on it, it will not compile at all.
Use the hal2udp version of it, the older version worked fine on ESP32Wroom, but the new version also has issues. You can get the older version on github, or try the new version as this one is being developed still.

Thanks for the reply
This version doesn't work?

Nope, did not work for me either.
This does work, needs a bit of editing if you need faster step rates than 16kHz, i got it to 40kHz without issues and fixed a strange issue where it would sometimes send steps back and forth after a jog.
