Estlcam and Auto Square

Hello

which possibilitys i have to use AutoSpare with Estlcam on a Lowrider ?
A direct connection between Estlcam and the machine would be important.

I’m using cncjs, works very well. I set up all necessary scripts as macros, for squaring and such, and then I run the gcode.

If you can access the terminal or send custom gcodes with estlcam, that would do the same. I don’t know these details though.

best case: i use only Estcam… no other tools.
at the moment i have a CNC Shield v3, but it would change the
board, if it necessary.

the only solution i know, is the tillboard and the tillboard-extension:

Tillboard:

But, perhaps there are also other solution possible

i will try it with a RAMPS 1.4 Board. Since version 11.228 ESTLCAM support the RAMPS Board again.

Estlcam unfortunately doesn’t support auto squaring, so says the developer.

So without extra hardware like the tillboard it will not be possible (yet).

i found “my” board. i order the Open-CNC-Shield.
