This software is fantastic and is my default interface software.

I had a question:

Would it be possible to integrate joystick control into the firmware for movement of the stage? Maybe a USB video game controller such as an x-box?


Just a thought, and thanks.

... for this you'll need another port 'communicating' with the joystick or paddle, what can cause some slowdown for other tasks.

So if you want to implement this, make sure you have a flag, that activates the joystick only in GUI-mode and deactivate it during print ...
