The ESP32 Panel Integrated Battery Board is designed for building external control panels. The ESP32 on the board communicates via WiFi with the OPEN-CNC-Shield 2. Its functionality is tailored for use with the Estlcam ControllerModule. When using a different controller, functionality may be significantly limited. Please refer to the documentation of each ControllerModule for details. Functions: WiFi communication - 2.4GHz - ESPNOW protocol Power supply via RJ45 or USB-C Dedicated signal line for the encoder in the RJ45 cable (the encoder signal is not transmitted via WiFi. A connection via RJ45 cable to the PanelModule RJ45 is required) Power supply possible through 2 x 18650 batteries Charging electronics with safety cutoff for 18650 batteries Battery charging via RJ45 connection to OCS2 or USB-C All inputs can be conveniently remapped in the ESP32 web interface software and used for other functions Various optional connection options: 4-pin - 5V encoder 3-axis joystick with OK button (for axis zeroing) Motor Start/Stop button Program Start/Stop button Feedrate potentiometer (feed speed) Rotation speed potentiometer (spindle speed) Autosquare button Axis selection X, Y, and Z (to select the axis for the encoder) No longer supported by Estlcam v12, but inputs can be remapped in software for other functions 4 free buttons (e.g., for power-off function or Speed1/Speed2) Connection for I2C, typically for a display Scope of delivery: ESP32 Panel Integrated Battery Board Commissioning: Examples of wiring can be found in the documentation. When new batteries are inserted, power must first be connected briefly via USB-C. Normal operation will then function afterward. Further links: Documentation Software / Firmware Connection diagram
