HI Peter, I have three BBB. One with the Replicape that may still one day drive the very dusty POS (Piece of S...) Delta 3D printer. One just for playing around with since it's the older one with smaller flash memory. And one with the xylotex Cape that uses normally open switches for limits and ESTOP. (Not the best idea in the world). I wish I had the time to spend on that project. With the built in CAN bus interface, serial ports and not great HDMI output it's still one of the nicer platforms for machine control. CANopen support with a CAN bus opens up modular tool changers, robot arms, even spindle motors if you can afford one with a CANopen interface. Adding your 7i92H to it for the axis control while using a CAN cape and LCD display plus buttons would be an ideal and not very expensive solution.
