Yes I did and encountered numerous build errors using a clone of the 1.0.9 repo. I did not have time to debug and troubleshoot further so I stopped pursuing it.

I did ask at the time if anyone else had successfully built it and it seems no one had.

I have relegated the Onefinity BB controller to running a secondary smaller non Onefinity 3 axis CNC so it is still of interest to me to improve it, just not at the cost of many hours of time chasing down a dead end.
