@mtcl The community there is pretty good too. I fried a duet just before completing the MPCNC build though. Ran the hot end of my printer over the cable bundle and short circuited some stuff. Made switching to a Duet a little more difficult than it would otherwise have been.
I do believe that the Duet would make an excellent platform for the MPCNC. I already did have most of what I'd need to do planned, just not tested live. The macro coding, and particularly with conditionals could make some functions so much better, like tool changes with retries for positioning...
That all said, the simplicity of "download the pre-configured firmware" has some appeal. (And I'm saying that as a coder.)
Well, when I get my repaired board back, I might convert it still... But I've started design on the next 3D printer, so... Maybe not.
