@rzi Would you have any useful links on how you did this? I've found some Telnet python library that looks promising but otherwise I wouldn't know where to start.

@phaedrux I've only seen it in the Workbee CNC setup guide so couldn't comment on that.

Controlling a Duet 3 with python and SBC?
Hi, I'm a little new to this field but need a 3D plotter for research purposes.
Background: I have a Workbee Z1+ CNC with a Duet 2 ethernet board. I need to be able to send specific coordinates (in the form of Gcode obviously) to my CNC and be able to get a live readout of its current position through all a python script. The script will also be outputting commands to other devices and sensors.Currently, we are advised not to connect a USB while the CNC is powered so this does not seem like a viable option. It comes with a Web controller connected through the ethernet but the web controller does not give me the flexible control I need. I have heard that we could connect an SBC (Raspberry Pi) which would be easier to do on a Duet 3.
My question is: If an SBC was connected would this allow me to send individual Gcode commands and read live positions, and if so how?
If not, would anyone have any advice on potential solutions?
Any support or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
