linuxcnc-esp32 Software Stepping over Ethernet Using ESP32

A quick update. I have used a using slightly modified jzolee's code to coomodate for 4th axis for around a month, it works okay, but reboots/hangs several times a day because of my plasma cutter's radio interference.

Overall it is a working solution.

 

For now i'm using fluidnc (somethings like grbl ones) they can stream over wifi, i hope remora have like this ,  Have anyone here do with this??

Its tricky to set up from a Windows machine but you should be able to crete a SAMBA share and write direct.
Then you can open the file on the LinuxPC and start the job

If you use QTplasmac, you can program a Load Latest file button which wokrs amazingly well. eg save the postprocessor output (eg sheetcam) to the lcnc nc_files folder, press load latest and then press cycle start

I mean, stream direct with linuxcnc   so i just stream a job with raspi pc or others...

Hello,
Does this project support index encoder signal for lathe machine!

This project could be adapted to do that. You could easily use one of the eight hardware PCNT pulse counters of the ESP32 and implement a pulse counter. And adapt the structs in the main.c and structs and pins in the udp.comp to pass the count to Linuxcnc.
The pulsecounter can count up to several MHz. Only downside is, the counter stores the count in a signed 16 bit counter, so it overflows after 32k counts and this should be handled in an interrupt handler. Also the esp32 inputs are NOT 5v tolerant and need 3V3 signals.

if you are using a quadrature encoder there is a good lib for the esp32 that uses the hardware counters if available and handles the overflow. I believe it’s ESP32Encoder. 

After many hours of study, I managed to put the "vector" to run with esp just like the remora is done, now we also have two tasks running within their respective periods, but I had problems with trying to run with the 3 axes at 300khz , at the moment the tests are at 120khz 4 axes. www.instagram.com/p/Cm19F1Bt_M-/?hl=pt-br

@eng can you share some code on github, it is ok if it is unfinished.

Hello "eng"
Me too eagerly and desperately watching your quotes and achievements.
Glad to see you on GitHub!!!
