My biggest issue with the Xylotex BBB Cape for CNC was that the logic for ESTOP
was inverted. ESTOP was a N/O switch so if a wire was broken you wouldn't find

It makes me wonder which operating system they put on that Chinese controller,

I think the BBB was popular because of the twp PRUs. These are programmable
processors that are separate from the CPU. So you can get very accurate
real-time pulses out even with poor latency under Linux.
However, this does require programming the PRUs.Machinekit had a HAL unit
