Lol openbuilds is using grbl because it’s simple. Openbuilds doesn’t specialize with larger and more complex machines along with more sophisticated control systems and user interfaces. Grbl is great for simple router machines and openbuild’s “MiniMill”. It’s a toy for larger and more complex

Don't want to fuel any flame wars, but this kind of solution is probably fine for generic desktop cnc routers with steppers. Grbl even has jerk limited trajectories. As soon as you get out of that stock 3 or 4 axis space and want to have tool changers, servos, non-cartesian machines, lathes,

It does take a bit more fiddling to get everything going on the Rpi 4B, but it seems to run pretty nicely once done. I don't have experience using it with a 7i76e, as most of us use it with the $45 7i90. If you don't need hardwired ethernet for communication with the 4B, then you can

Well, the portability is not a must, but the idea of having all the major hardware as compact as possible really tempts me to at least consider the idea. For the other machines I used mini ATX with one PCI express port to accommodate the Mesa board. For this project I'm inclined to use an Ethernet

Why does the control computer need to be portable, unless you are building a portable router and want the whole machine to be easy to move? As for Octoprint, I use a standard PC (an older i5 with about 8 GB RAM.) f In fact, the very same PC runs both LinuxCNC and Octoprint at the same time just
