This project allow to control grblHAL based CNC machine withot PC. It also make work way more convinient.

Version that includes "Raft" in the name has solid first layer, all openings have to be open with a knife. This gives more uniform surface. For front part print it recommended to turn on tree support for encoder opening.
Cable relief should be printed with TPU. After the print, groove have to be opened by cutting and pulling the material. Cable relief designed for 4 mm cable. If your cable is different - generate new one, function CableReliefCircular(X) accept cable diameter in mm.

Latest firmware placed in Release folder: SmartPendant.hex
To load new firmware STM32CubeProgrammer is used. Connect SmartPendant to PC using USB-C cable. Press and hold BOOT0 button, then short press NRST button, couple seconds later BOOT0 button can be released. Open STM32CubeProgrammer. In top right corner choose "USB" from drop down list. If field "Port" in "USB Configuration" show "No DFU detected" click update button near it. Click "Connect" button - STM32CubeProgrammer should establish connection and show current device memory content. Click "Open File" in left to corner, select firmware HEX file, then click "Download" button in top left corner. When flashing is done, close STM32CubeProgrammer and short press NRST button on the Controller to restart it.
Note: if flashing is successful, but firmware isn't work, check STM32CubeProgrammer log. If it says "sector 0000 does not exist" erasing operation wasn't successful and new firmware "merged"(write operation can only flip bits from 1 to 0) with old one. To fix this issue, press "eraser" button in bottom right corner and click "Ok" button in pop up window. After erasing is finished "Device memory" should show only FFFFFFFF. Flash new firmware after that.

It is a possible to assemble pendant from off the helf components with lot of soldering by using this display:
3.5-inch TFT LCD Module Serial Port SPI Drive ILI9488 with capacitive Touch RGB320 * 480
File SmartPendant_off-the-shelf.scad have code to generate case that was used during prototype stage.
