Abandoned? #11

Open synman opened 1 year ago

I'm going to recommend this plugin be marked as abandoned and repointed to "Better Grbl Support" in the plugin repository. Credit / authorship will be carried forward as this plugin sparked a ton of development for the Better Grbl Support plugin.

I no longer use Octoprint, and I am happy for you to take over with your new plugin. Your plugin has a tonne of new features and config options, which is awesome, nice work!

The only thing that throws up question marks is that on config save, there is a code path that sends HTTP requests. Seems very strange.

Welcome to the next generation of Grbl! (http://wiki.fluidnc.com/en/config/overview). What you are seeing is the config file upload process for machines running FluidNC.

FluidNC (like its predecessor Grbl_Esp32) runs on a 32 bit Espressif Systems 2 core SoC with Wi-Fi. In addition to running Grbl, it also hosts a WebUI that provides a number of embedded functions, such as firmware OTA updates, SDCard support, and, in the case of FluidNC, hosting its primary machine configuration file.
