This Github-hosted Webui looks quite nice, it might be possible to fork (also stepper based) https://github.com/mirobot/apps.mirobot.io

Thanks for the pointer to that. The Mirobot was built with the same aims as the Trundlebot, albeit at a different time when we did not have the Pi Pico, so there are a lot of parallels. There is no reason why the Trundlebot can not support the Mirobot protocol, and this would allow any software created for the Mirobot to work without modification. The two bits are not quite the same, but close enough that it should work. I will give it some thought.

Great. I like the fact it can be github-hosted. Seems like it could scale without needing a business model that pays server bills..
