Multi-Use for Pendant #42

Hello! I found this repo as per someone else's recommendation. I am working on a motion-controlled camera & miniature rig that has a total of 6 axes. I'd prefer to create my own custom cnc pendant using 24 custom buttons an lcd and a rotary encoder.

I want to have this pendant wired to an esp32 and have it both wirelessly control the cnc grbl_controller but also send it's data to my pc where the commands will control a blender simulation. To simplify, I want to control my rig in realtime, while also recording those inputs in blender, where I will refine the keyed scene and send out a finished gcode file from the PC to the cnc grbl controller.

So my question really is, if I use an esp32 with my custom cnc pendant, can I both control the cnc grbl-controller in realtime and also send that data at my computer? If so, how would I go about doing that?

Thanks
