When I started with LinuxCNC on the BeagleBone I was very excited about the ease of creating custom gscreen skins, but got discouraged by the high CPU usage and the fact that the gscreen sim configurations I tried were mostly broken on the BeagleBone. With the CPU usage reduced dramatically and several examples working as expected on the BeagleBone, this now looks like a good way to go. ...I'd still prefer someone more artistically inclined than myself actually do the GUI design. Otherwise you probably won't be able to distinguish it from tkemc! :) If left to me, I'll probably wind up mostly copying one of the existing serial control programs designed to talk to the AVR controllers (ie: Pronterface, repetier host, etc). -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net
