If you’ve got ESPHome installed on an Apple Silicon Mac via Homebrew, you might have noticed a compilation error complaining about littlefs missing on all projects.

A few years ago I wrote the C++ program latheControl which is designed to control my lathe (and subsequently my milling maching, and rotary table) by moving the machine’s axes via stepper motors.

If you enjoy word games (such as cryptic crosswords) as I do, then this is a really useful tool for you.

I’ve been having a lot of fun recently learning Rust.

I continue to improve the lathe application I’ve written – it’s working really well.

As part of the project to control my metalworking lathe with a stepper motor (see https://www.martyndavis.com/?

This is a quick post – I’m intending on going into far more detail about this at a later stage – but recently, for fun, I’ve been working on automating some functions on a metalworking lathe.

Just for fun I thought it would be interesting to write a quick program to convert .jpg images to an ASCII representation.
