If you google you can find multiple CNC projects based on BBB, such as this list http://blog.machinekit.io/p/hardware-capes.html#BeagleCNC Google is your friend (in this case). BBB also has the PRUs which can be very useful in realtime motion control. Bruce On Sunday, November 22, 2015 at 3:09

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Serial Communication on Beaglebone Black

If you used a straight through serial cable from your PC to the CNC then the CNC is likely DCE, since the PC serial is usually DTE. If you used a null modem cable then the CNC could be DTE. You didn't specify which cable you used. DCE is Data Communication Equipment and originally was a device

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Serial Communication on Beaglebone Black

@Shaurabh OK they actually have a pretty nice document for that! Now what is your CNC machine? What serial port document do you have for it? The serial cape has only TXD and RXD driven, no handshake or flow control. The CNC might expect something specific. It does look like the serial cape has so

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Serial Communication on Beaglebone Black

DTE on BBB will be OK as long as you have null modem cable. Try letting your PC simulate the CNC, and get communication working between PC DTE and BBB. Then switch that PC end to the CNC. Bruce -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you

[beagleboard] Re: Static IP on eth0

Does the router/dhcp server config have to be considered? On my routers I usually make < .100 fixed IP and start dhcp service above that. If your router is not configured that way I wonder what would happen? I'll try this myself since now I am curious. (So far on BBB I've just been using DHCP.)

[beagleboard] Re: What to do next with the beaglebone black

Assuming all are up to the task, here's my $.02: you want C/C++ since a lot of the drivers and support code are written in C. If you will be running Linux, you want Python since that has been baked into Linux for a long time, and seems to be the preferred quick language of Linux admins. And you

I will. BBB is more suited to OEM use than RPi (though I did buy a Pi2, they both run Python). I would not built RPi into an OEM system which I had to support for 5+ years. I can't imagine Windows actually doing anything useful on RPi. I don't see how Windows 10 (whatever it really turns out to

Why not run your M$ HMI code on a board better suited to it? There are a ton of such boards out there. If you need a LOT of these HMI systems, why not redo it in Python with a small HDMI touchscreen? You will save the Windows tax on each one, plus it will be much more portable and maintainable in

[beagleboard] On the topic of dodgy Kickstarter designs...

I hope this is not considered O/T. One reason I like BBB is that I have confidence it is well-designed and uses legitimate components from trusted sources. Today I learned that a GSM-modem-containing module on KS, which I supported (with the expectation it would be 'done right'), has a run of GSM

[beagleboard] Re: Is BBB compatible with Arduino Sensors?

The BBB is quite a different beast from Arduino (and there are many of those; I assume you mean one of the simpler ones such as 'Uno'). Arduino is simple to use, like a bicycle. It's great when that is what you need. BBB is more like a powerful motorcycle - lots more capability but a step or ten

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Is BBB compatible with Arduino Sensors?

Looks interesting. Last commit was 2 years ago though. There is also IEEE 1451, which is not driver code per se but a way to have smart sensors which can identify themselves to a host system vs being hard-coded by hand every time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_1451 If there is a working driv

Well, their video is first-rate. I'm a little confused by the product idea. I like the idea of a small module... but with the baseboard added, so it is equivalent to a BBB, the price is $110, 2X the price of a BBB. The two must be soldered together, so you don't gain a pluggable/replaceable mod
