    i've been trying to figure out the sensorless homing too. i found this page https://github.com/grblHAL/Plugins_motor that describes the command to enable sensorless homing. i'm not sure what they mean by "Parameter is a axismask where value is sum of X=0, Y=1, Z=2 etc."

    And it looks like pendant support was 'enabled' last year in grblHAL, but I don't see the "I'm with stupid guide" that I would need to connect it.
  • General question: Why use an old LPT interface with so many open source controller available?

    You might want to look at grblHAL. It is the 32-bit evolution of Grbl. I make a 5 axis breakout board for it based on a Teensy 4.1. It supports step rates up to 400 kHz which allows you a lot of freedom in selecting microsteps and high speed rapids. All in with the Teensy, it costs about $65-70, depending on options. Here is a gallery with a number of machines based on grblHAL. More about grblHAL here. It is actively being developed with people adding features and porting to new processors (RaspBerry Pico is coming).
