I’m looking mostly for a sanity check before I potentially dive into a project. I see Klipper currently only supports CAN boards based on STM chips. I see there’s an ESP based board from PandaPi that has the features I’d want in a toolhead board. Bonus is it’s actually available as ESP supplies don’t seem as constrained as STM chips right now. (https://www.pandapi3d.com/product-page/pandacan-extruder)
I was wondering if anyone had tried & failed or can think of a reason that trying to port the remote CAN Board code to an ESP based chip would be futile. I’m willing to do the work and probably have and/or can acquire the skill to do it.
Any thoughts? If there’s no obvious reason this can’t work, I’ll probably pick up one of these boards as well as a USB and possibility an SPI based CAN bus adapter for good measure.
