by the way, thinking in terms of other processors that could be used, do you know anyone who has used the esp-32 for 3d printing? it's under $10 and has 32 gpio pins (up to 12 analog inputs), 4m flash, 520K ram, and is a 32 bit processor running at 160/240MHz with wifi and bluetooth built-in.

If you are moving away from steppers, you are probably going to move to a custom driver board instead of ramps, it should be easy to add the pads to attach something like this module to it as the brains.

Hi dlang!

Sorry didn't see this before now because the thread is so old.

I actually have some friends building a Mechaduino-style closed loop stepper using esp32's. They're on early testing stages, and I don't think they've published anything. Esp32 is a really nice processor.

If you'd like to continue esp32 discussion, I suggest creating a new thread on the topic winking smiley
