Very cool thread so far. I just picked up a Mars Pro and would love to help getting it to work with octoprint.
Here is the visible side of the controller:
Header "J3" seem to be the location to attach RPi Zero UART to.
Is there a more comprehensive list of available g-codes? Setting up Octoprint with a chitu board plugin and Pi Zero USB drive emulation "gadget" would be a great combo. I'm still new to all of this resin stuff, but at a high level, we would just need the ability to move/home the z-axis, start, stop, and pause prints. In order to start prints, I assume we would need a way to list the files on the "USB" drive/partition and instruct the printer to print that file. Out side of that, we could disable the temperature tab and maybe limit the controls tab to simple actions.
I know nothing of how to get this to actually work from the octoprint side, but I'm learning python and may give it an extremely poor attempt.
