I've got a nifty little Kamoer peristaltic pump that I plan to use for ATO. I've designed and built my own pcb using a NodeMCU esp32 soc. There are several ways I can code this, but I'm not sure how to connect it to reef-pi. As is typical of a peristaltic pump I need to pulse to make a movement (i.e. 1ms on, 1ms off). I can also code it to take a parameter via a REST call for the number of cycles and duration. In either case I need some sort of synchronization primitve to prevent reef-pi from calling the esp32 when it's already in motion. Naturally I could just ignore new requests while the pump is running, but then I still need reef-pi to keep sending requests until the float switch turns off.

How would I set something like this up? Coding for the esp32 will be no problem, I'm just not sure of the reef-pi side of things. I see there is an esp32 driver and have looked at the code for it, but it doesn't seem to handle this sort of thing either.
FWIW, I'm running a Robo-Tank and love the heck out of it!
