[Machinekit] Re: Breakout board for BeagleBone Black (BBB)

I did the same when I did minehad a lapse along the way and screwed up the signal to pin mapping. As long as the daughter boards match the cape no probs. In my defense I was looking after a Beagle pup we got at 8 weeks old. There's also the raw pins brought out for the ADC, an I2C bus

This was my take which I used for 12 months before switching to Linuxcnc The cape connects directly to the BBB and the 2 other boards connect via a short 26 way cable https://github.com/ozzyrob/pp_cape

Hi Eric, I'm running a BF20/G704 (modded with tapered roller bearings and an R8 spindle) mill using a BBB & MK. I designed a cape and some daughter boards to do all the voltage translation, using every available pin. I didn't touch the hdmi pins (so I can just plug in a monitor). Seems to do

My apologies for pointing out the basics of the PRU subsystem. It still wont give you the same performance or lack of jitter that using the PRU for step-dir generation or on the x86 platform using a Mesa or other FPGA for step-dir generation from the information I have read. Tho I guess you

[Machinekit] Re: Questions over Rpi3 vs BeagleBone

The BBB are separate from the underlying OS. The cores of the RPi or any other multi core chip, (as for as I am aware) can't be separated from the OS. I'd run a BBB any day of the week over a RPi. The way I have my BBB setup allows me to have 35 gpio's plus I2c and that is with HDMI. I've

I started off using Mach3 when I first made my foray into cnc. Sure it was easy to setup (the linuxcnc stepconf wizard makes it just as easy), but for anything more getting into the config files by hand made things really easy. My light bulb moment was when I started messing around with PyVCP
