    ... and I have to say "WAW". I like it very much.
    I'm connecting a FluidNC on USB or on IP Successfully. Just seems to have an issue with the glbl settings or fluidnc settings tab, as there is a status request emitted during the answer of the configuration dump that gives something odd:

    pulloff_mm: 4.000000
    stepstick:
    step_pin: I2SO.10
    direction_pin: I2SO.11
    disable_pin: I2SO.9
    ms1_pin: NO_PIN
    <Idle|MPos:20.000,0.000,0.000|FS:0,0>
    ms2_pin: NO_PIN
    ms3_pin: NO_PIN
    reset_pin: NO_PIN

    maybe there is a setting to avoid that?

    Keep up the good job!

    Not ready yet... still several outstanding tasks: FluidNC support · Issue #283 · OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL

    Will announce when its all working


    Good catch, we might have to disable status query while the config dump is happening. One more Todo before FluidNC support will be ready
    Almost a shame fluidNC responds to "?" in the middle of a config dump, it should finish before responding, would make it better

    Actually I asked them :)
    this is their answer:

    "Something is requesting status during the reading of the config. Status is an immediate command.
    Those commands have the highest priority in the system. We do not want to block them."

    OK we'll work around that :)

    grblHAL and grbl doesn't respond to "?" during a "$$" (; - but thats OK, there are several "not grbl compatible enough" things that quick wins are few and far between.

    FWIW, I noticed exactly the same thing the other day when I tried FluidNC again. (There was some other funky stuff, too - it seemed to get confused about limits, but I guess that's because it isn't ready yet).

    Back to GRBL_ESP32 for a little longer :)
