Here's a bit more info with respect to displays for the BBB. (Or Pi for that matter) The Backpack with Touch HDMI from Adafruit is 800x480 (out of stock and is now 800x600) https://www.adafruit.com/product/2407 On my Version the Beagle MachineKit main screen looks nice. http://www.autoartisans.com/beagle/800x480_Display.jpg But run MachineKit and it's clear that the screen really is too small for the AXIS user interface. http://www.autoartisans.com/beagle/800x480_MachineKit.jpg So to use this with MachineKit requires a new user interface design and that means something like the PSNG screen for probing is also not usable without a complete redesign.
I did show the phot with the two MANGA screens. They came from Norway, made in China. https://www.iagent.no/product/manga-screen-2-big/ The MANGA2 is a 1080P screen in size and if I could figure out how to boot to turn the display 90 degrees everything would should up but boy are things tiny... http://www.autoartisans.com/beagle/Manga2_MachineKit.jpg I forget the resolution of the MANGA 1 screen but again needs to be rotated and might also be too small. http://www.autoartisans.com/beagle/Manga1_MachineKit.jpg There is a version of the PSNG Probe screen for 1024x768 so I think that would have to be the minimum LCD display in at least 7" but likely better 10" for fat fingers http://www.autoartisans.com/beagle/Screenshot1024x768.png I'm pretty sure this was the latest HAL and INI files for this BBB. http://www.autoartisans.com/beagle/XylotexG3616.hal http://www.autoartisans.com/beagle/XylotexG3616.ini A 1280x800 10" display is available from Amazon.ca for $235 but no touch screen. https://www.amazon.ca/Eyoyo-Monitor-1280x800-Resolution-Security/dp/B072N2YGXN Or 1280x800 with touch screen for $169. https://www.amazon.ca/Raspberry-Inch-Touch-Screen-Touchscreen/dp/B0776VNW9C/ref=sr_1_10 No idea how good this is but if it did work with the Beagle or the PI4+MESA_7i92 it could be a nice small form factor CNC system. Upside with RPI up to date LinuxCNC. Downside with Beagle is old MachineKit but hardware is already here for a small lathe. All of this is relative turnkey and doesn't involve writing a brand new CNC program on an ESP32.
