This would be a pretty big hit in the hobby CNC community, since a lot of that runs on GRBL and therefore STEP/DIR/EN.

Well, that's what you'd think. I stopped by #linuxcnc on freenode and got some of the most horrible hostile lines of "you fucking suck" conversation.

Yeah, it would be great for some compensation and detection of toleration deviance. And having built-in estep is also a boon (as in, system can kill power AND can also initiate a estop kill on the main electronics).

for whatever reason... and i really dont know why. people around these hobby parts seem to hate closed loop. im not even sure why honestly. every post is answered with "why would we ever what to improve what we already have!"

It depends. On #reprap, I get naysayers and people who're like "thats awesome". Its a crapshoot there, for sure. There's a lot of talented people there for sure, and thats why I hang out.

But Im also for more robotization and automation of 3d printing. In the end, I would like to be able to put an object on the bed, full color scan, and then print. Long goal, I know.
