Control motors directly

Hi,

I'm guessing this is a 'no' as I haven't seen mention of it in the documentation but ...
Can you control the motors directly without using gcode, for instance, tell motor A to turn one step in certain direction?

I would like to build an analogue joystick controller for my cnc machine rather than the jog buttons I already have, which implement gcode increments and decrements along an axis.

thanks

We don't have this implemented. It would be a bit of C code to bypass the Gcode interpreter.
