Flashed “extended” version and it works really really well.

Builtin camera WebRTC stream is super responsive, low load and very nice quality.

Thank you for the great firmware @paxx12 !

I installed the extended version - everything works fine, the camera image in the Fluid interface is smooth and of good quality, SSH - I can connect (I’m not changing anything for now). Thank you “paxx12” for your work

TimeLaps doesn’t work. I check it before printing. It doesn’t record! I check it through Fluidd. !!!
