    I built a program that allows a Pi Pico with a cheap screen to control your Openbuilds machine via the Control software. It basically just sends keystrokes to your laptop that can be used in conjunction with your Control hotkeys/macros.

    Also, working on a better program with a GUI on an Rpi4. The software also works on the Pi Zero.
    When it's done I'll upgrade the cheesy GUI images lol

    I started these projects because my Interface wasn't working consistently (EMI?), and using a dedicated Pico that I already had on hand was a very cheap alternative. Anyway, check it out!
