I'm curious. I have one of the original Xylotex boards. The link to this web site implies there's a newer version along with a link to 4GB BeagleBone Image for MachineKit which I have read hasn't been supported for years. http://xylotex.netfirms.com/OSCommerce/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=40&products_id=169
My BBBs (3 of them) are all sitting in a box unused. This includes things like LCD displays, CAN bus capes etc. I had thought about adding the BBB with CNC to my Gingery Lathe which currently is controlled by my Electronic Lead Screw product. What is the status in general with the BBB and MachineKit or LinuxCNC. Should I just put my stuff on EBAY? I ask because I also have a 1GB Pi4 with a MESA 7i92H as a desktop play toy. I think the 1GB is a bit small for LinuxCNC but so far it has worked. I'm not sure whether support for LinuxCNC on the PI4 has also gone by the wayside? So if someone had a BBB and a cape, installs a version of LinuxCNC (MachineKit) do they run into what appears to happen often now with trying to upgrade and unknown web links?
