I have been considering replacing my desktop PC with a Beaglebone board but not sure how this will work for me. My Milling machine has a Mesa 7i80 board that handles all interfacing to the machines hardware. Communication with the Mesa 7I80 board is on a dedicated port and not shared. How would a Beaglebone with only one network port be able to connect with the Mesa 7i80 board and also handle a remote GUI without sharing the Ethernet port? Is there a plugin board available that would add a second network port?
The Beaglebone would fit nicely in the machines controller enclosure and would allow me to reconfigure the Linux based desktop computer to a Windows based for remote control and other CAD/CAM functions. -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
