Cayenn is a ChiliPeppr invention to allow you to extend your CNC controller with add-on devices where you make the CNC controller be the main driver of your Gcode job, but the add-on devices get their own subset of commands and sync in real-time with the main controller. This video walks you through a tour of three Cayenn devices, shows them working, and shows you what the Gcode needs to look like to drive your Cayenn devices.
