Really nice! I like it a lot. This does seem conducive to the cayenn model where ChiliPeppr just detects the presence of the joystick and it works automatically.

Thanks! How it could be added?

Well, maybe watch this video first to get acquainted https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlHhcErWCDQ and then read this blog http://chilipeppr2.blogspot.com/2016/10/cayenn-protocol-for-chilipeppr_28.html.

Ok, I see… Do you think this will add some kind of latency to the jog commands?

Well, it likely would be the same as the serial port config you’re using right now. It would be easier on the setup because you just turn on the joystick and it would appear. Since your commands would come in over wifi there is a chance of packet retransmission, but that is slim. You would be going from NodeMCU to SPJS to ChiliPeppr instead of from serial port to ChiliPeppr. So that could add slight delay. You could possibly add code to SPJS instead to go more direct than from ChiliPeppr, so that could be even faster than your current setup.
