Thanks! There is talk about porting the original code to work on GRBL-ESP32( by Bart Dring ) but it ends up being almost the same as the Arduino in that the system requires another computer to work with the robot. An embedded computer like RaspberryPi and BeagleBone Black means the controller is also the computer so it becomes more of a self contained machine. I think it's still up in the air as to which way the upgrade will go and I'm just trying to help them along with my little knowledge of Machinekit's capabilities( still have a delta/Mini Kossel 3D printer running Machinekit/CRAMPS ).
BiPod, great and thanks. I found the git repo of the museum piece Matthew Venn and while it's not using DC motors and encoders, it's very close as it uses encoders with stepper motors. Thanks for the very useful information! BTW, if you don't know about Maslow CNC, it's a 3 axis bipod router which does full sheet( 8' x 4' ) routing where the router is hung and weighted(with 2 bricks ) and the kit and router costs < $600. Another nice feature is that because it's a bipod/hangBot its foot print in the shop is very small compared to a horizontal full sheet CNC.
