Today we are controlling everything with 3D Printer G-Code. Cableroot is software that runs on a Teensy 4.1 that allows you to inspect 3D Printer g-code in real time and perform actions upon it. Have you ever wanted to control neopixels independently when your 3D Printer goes home? How about turning on a fan after the print completes to cool the build plate? These sort of use cases are easy with Cableroot. Cableroot sits between the computer or SD card and your 3D Printer. With Cableroot you are freed from your 3D Printers firmware and able to control other devices. This introduction covers the basic setup of Cableroot.
