Wi-Fi Connection and Height Mapping for PCB Milling in bCNC

[Jairolaya12x]

Hello everyone,

I’m new to the CNC world and still learning. I currently have a CNC machine that needs to be connected directly to a PC, but I’m thinking of upgrading to a board with Wi-Fi capabilities.

My main goal is to mill PCBs, and I’d like to know if it’s possible to use bCNC over Wi-Fi and still perform height mapping (autoleveling) for accurate PCB milling.

Any advice on the setup or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

ESP32 based boards?

Yes, so is possible to create the height mapping with bCNC via wifi? Or is it required to have the PC connected?

bCNC supports remote connection. see: https://github.com/vlachoudis/bCNC/wiki/Connecting
