Hi, If you are looking for a simple microcontroller with built-in quadrature encoder interface as well as analog in and motor control features (like PWM out), you might want to look at the Microchip dsPIC line. Microchip has examples on how to use these chips to control motors. The microcontroller is totally unrelated to/unsupported by MachineKit though.
As far as MachineKit is concerned, Mesa makes interface boards that can control SPI (serial peripheral interface). The BBB also has an SPI port on it. SPI has both a serial input and serial output. In any case, if it is a custom interface, you may need to write a driver for it to interface between MachineKit and the actual hardware.
