In case you don't (and you actually don't) need 8 axes, MESA 5i25 + 7i76
is a perfect fit with 6 servo axes + 48 I/O.
Sorry, it's 5i25 + 7i77 for servos. 7i76 is step/dir card.
Andrew
If you need 8 axis of pwm+encoders you cold go with a 5i25, two 7i85 cards,
plus what ever smart serial card(s) suit your io needs. If you only need 4 for
now, you could buy just the one 7i85 and add the other one later as needed.

Fantastic work, many thanks!

At $49 vs. $35, I would take the new BeagleBone Black any day over
the Raspberry Pi. The processor is from TI (with long processor experience)
instead of Broadcom. The processor also has great peripherals for motion
control (not present in the Broadcom chip). The only thing the RPi has

I have some RPIs and I think the BBBs will run rings around the RPIs...
The PRUs seem to be the clincher.
RPIs are fine for some things, but I just ordered a couple Beaglebone
Blacks from Mouser. They are suppose to ship this week.
The capes in the works are impressive..

I'm with Gene on this. For the short term, at least, a parallel port
adapter (or 2) would allow existing BOB's to be used. But the ideal would be a
dedicated cape that could provide the functionality of a Mesa or Pico Systems
board.

I think if you look at the capabilities of the Bone, it might be hard to

The Bone has multiple encoders support. How does the rate supported
compare with the rate of your boards? The Bone
Considering the fact that good BOB's cost pretty much what the B3 does
being able to plug to current BOB's would be nice.

Agreed, fantastic work by Michael.
I, like many others, would love to build a small footprint controller
with no PC involvement, but there are still those niggling long term
bugs and
I disagree.
If you want a killer product for the BeagleBone Black, you need to toss
the EPP port concept entirely and have the BeagleBone Plug into the
Breakout board - similar to a cape. But make it larger and put 24 volt
DC I/O on it, along with analog I/O, Encoder ins, and step and
So this setup for the BeagleBone Black runs LinuxCNC and a small web server, to

Interesting setup, that. I do that quite often with HP laser printers and I've
remotely updated and operated Portmasters hundreds of miles away.
For the control peripheral board
Dave,
PMDX is considering just such a product and is trying to
figure out what things are needed for a real industrial
control.
Meanwhile, we are actually working on a cape to be used
as a test platform at Wichita. It will use the parallel port
header approach along with other debugging

Yes, I mostly agree with this. What I had in mind was to put an 8-bit

Hi Steve,
Sounds like you have your head in the game..Smart! :-)
I have no clue how successful the BeagleBone is going to be. But it
sure is interesting! It could really be a game changer.
I'm going to try hard to get to Wichita and so far I have been able to
keep my schedule clear for
Another plan might be to make an FPGA board specific for the Bone, but what
do I do
with all the inventory I already have, here?
Obviously you are not the only one in that boat!
But I don't think the PC based CNC market is going to vanish overnight even
if the BeagleBone is wildly
as these things go.. I've learned hours after announcing the starterkit that:
1. this image will *not* boot on the Beaglebone Black
2. the 3.2.21/2.6 Xenomai patch used in the starterkit kernel does have a
serious issue

I recently was given a 1953 Monarch 10EE basic Model lathe. It is
the Ward Leonard motor generator type so no electronics to deal with.
The basic model has no lead screw and no gearing for screw cutting.
There is also no taper attachment. It does have carriage and cross
slide power feeds.
