Temporary notice
This page right now serves as a documentation point for making our CNC Router controllable via the network.
Once we tried different pieces of software and decided for one, this page will serve as a documentation point for how to use this software.
The Installation scripts are hosted on GitHub
Software options

GRBLWeb in principle works. However, moving the Router manually (when trying to find the zero-location) is not very user-friendly. In addition, it is missing proper buttons for homing and for unlocking the tool ($H and $X) The other toolf seem to be more feature rich.
