  • This sounds like a perfectly workable solution!

    I assume getting a persistent environment in a USB recovery stick is a bigger task? I'm imagining that, with your method, I would need to repeat this process any time I wanted to update the image or load specific new kernel modules/drivers?

  • Hijacking for my own idea: what if I wanted to make my own updated version of say, hiren's Linux environment that included tools for data recovery and drive administration among other things. I would love to basically build my own custom recovery environment preloaded with all my favorite tools.

    Tbf, with a few hours of googling, I could probably figure this out for myself so don't go through a bunch of trouble unless you want to document for others. I'm mainly posting because I saw OP and wondered if something easy already existed?

  • The stepper drivers run directly of the main power supply through Vcc, so assuming you haven't added any extra heaters or other crazy amounts of power draw, you should be just fine adding another motor.

    Using the second z for stability would be a more traditional use of those parts but your idea sounds like a lot of fun!

  • Get yourself a decent router capable of running OpenWRT, which will allow you to set up vlan's for your lab, and (I would also recommend) another separate vlan for your IoT and other "smart" devices.

    The TP-Link Archer C7 is old but reliable and has a lot of open source support.

    If you're feeling more adventurous You could also build your own router with any computer that's got two or more Ethernet ports using PFSense, Firewall-NG, or IPFire
