Hello,

I'm a college student currently working on converting a relatively small/simple CNC mill into a PnP machine. I've purchased a BIGTREETECH Octopus V1.1 as the motion controller. My hope is to control all the stepper motors (4 for XYZ motion and 1 for toolhead) as well as a solenoid valve and vacuum pump (ideally using the PWM fan pin) from the board. I'm planning on using Marlin for the firmware. I'm wondering if there's any resources to learn how to configure Marlin/the Octopus board for my needs.

Thank you!

I just built a PnP myself and stuck a BTT Octopus in it as well. I haven't gotten it setup yet, but I was about to post a question about whether to connect it to the PC with uart or USB. I haven't gotten around to looking into Marlin or anything yet

Hello,

I am using a BTT Octopus V1.1 on my Ikosy PnP Machine and it works pretty well!

Are there any questions or problems?
