Remote for the xxl

has anybody had any luck find a remote for the xxl so you don’t need to use our laptop to control the cutter head.

By nature, grbl controlled machines need to be connected to a computer to stream the commands. A cheap windows tablet would do the job, or you could use a raspberry pi with CNCjs.

what you can do though, is buy a wireless (e.g. bluetooth) keypad, connect it to your laptop, and use that as “local” way to jog the machine, far from your laptop. Not sure about keyboard shortcuts/mapping in Carbide Motion, but I did that for UGS (see here)

You can use your phone to connect to the web interface.
