the more i learn about klipper the more i am confused
like... half of these features are already implemented in marlin why does anyone bother with this
like even the cooler stuff you can mostly do just using octoprint. basically the only thing ur saving urself is rebuilding marlin

@snacks but the firmware is running either way and boards like the skr have much better arm chips

@coolbean with clipper most computation happens on the big arm board and the mcu just gets "move stepper x y steps in z time"

@snacks but why not just put the beefy cpu on the motherboard

@snacks the skr pico even has 2 cores (rp2040) so it can do time-sensitive stuff asynchronously from other stuff. how neat

@snacks yea btt has been good about this, apart from skr v1.x the only still sold boards are either arm m7 or rp2040 so they can cope ok
