Why is there so much resistance to using the Beaglebone?
Or perhaps to say it another way, why would anyone even
want to use a Pi when the Beagle has 1GHz processor and

Well, yes! The Bone, as supported by Linux, has pretty
crummy graphics capability. (There is apparently a powerful
graphics engine in the chip, but TI won't open any of the
details, so it can't be used under Linux.) Still, if you
don't load massive 3-D toolpaths into LinuxCNC, it works fine.
With large toolpaths, the graphical preview window bogs the
whole GUI down.
But, the I/O capability and the PRUs for step generation and
PWM is quite awesome.
It sure works for me!
