I bought a few DRV8824 drivers for a few dollars each and designed a small circuit board for maybe $10-$15, now I need to figure out how to ideally toggle the step pin. I do not think the beagle have builtin stepper drivers, as far as I now it is more or less an ordinary computer, I already have both machinekit/linuxcnc on my computer but maybe I use the beagle bone later then I need something more handy.
