My understanding is that the next version will support external devices and sensors over the CAN bus. I had assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that controlling external devices over CAN would be supported through Duet for end users.

For example, consider a simple CAN servo connected to a Duet. A developer would be able to create a button on the Duet's display to interact and rotate the servo without any deeper knowledge of the system.

I inferred this from the TCT 2018 video, showing the smart tools. Was this totally off base?

Hi, I'm planning a product that will require scripting on Duet's next-gen board. I know E3D have preliminary access to it and was wondering if it was available to the public at large..

I understand it may not be finalized yet and changing constantly, but if I'm looking to get my feet wet and get a broad overview of the framework and if it's suitable for my design, where could I find it?

If it's not public, will it be available before release so that developers can get a head start developing against it? Any guidance would be quite appreciated.
