Curious to see where this goes. Would be neat to see sharing/collab between projects (e.g. WebUI extensions useful for both projects). Some info that may help…
fwiw - Jason Yeager and others on V1E forum have embarked on some curiosity (and frustration) driven development improvements to FluidNC WebUI v2 and v3…
- WebUI v3 theme/extensions WebUI v3 Theme/Extension Development - Jackpot Board / FluidNC - V1 Engineering Forum
- Virtual joystick extension WebUI v3 Extension - Virtual Jog Joystick - Jackpot Board / FluidNC - V1 Engineering Forum
- Decouple WebUI to run on a separate ESP32 from the ESP32 running FluidNC firmware. Comms via websocket, but could be any rich/reach client (or Dev box) not constrained to fit in a laughably small foot print.
WebUI Shenanigans - #6 by jeyeager - Jackpot Board / FluidNC - V1 Engineering Forum - Improve Dev inner loop experience using multi network setup, e.g. add a USB wifi dongle for network connection to ESP32 AP separate from your existing wifi/ethernet connection to home/internetz.
Jackpot / FluidNC WebGUI V1E topic starting with I’m this close to making a fork of the FluidNC web GUI contains a bunch of ideas, context and perspectives from people. The topic is long, meandering and unfocused… But hopefully contains some nuggets that benefit what you/we end up doing/using.
