RE: Add Kinetica G2 board support
@lucth I understand. I'm a software dev myself so I sympathize. Coding blindly can lead to so much extra work in the end. Until I searched and probed this topic, nothing really show up online that this board is really a stale out of date product without support for the most important aspect of the board... the firmware. I hope @royco will take the product back if this is true that firmware support has died on this board. I going to reach out to his sales email and give him a chance to respond because he is really the one that can say what his plans are with this board.
I already have a duet 2 ethernet on my main printer and was looking for a drop in replacement for my ender 3 (my extra filler printer) that had the Duet web interface. I know the improvements that have been made with the latest firmwares which is why I care so much about upgrading the Kinetica G2. Was trying to make my life simpler by going with this board but ended up creating more work than if I just ordered and converted my ender to a Duet board.

I support the adding of the Kinetica G2 board support. Can the Maestro profile be used to get a more current version of firmware and web interface? @royco @LucTH
