Coding is good, but there's a lot of work to be done in tweaking the
configuration (both LinuxCNC/HAL and the setup of the distribution in
general), and documentation, HOWTOs, or general spreading awareness
are all appreciated!

One thing I've been thinking of doing is a Beagle Bone to Ramps cape
(tentatively named CapeR) that would let folks just swap out their
Arduino for a BeagleBone.  It would mostly just be the two appropriate
connector sets with wires tying them together, and maybe a few
protection or voltage conversion parts to deal with the lower voltages
on the BeagleBone.

Let me know how it goes!
