Hi, We (Steve Stallings and I) would like to let you know about a gadget we’re expecting to bring to Wichita: The K9 SmorgasBoard.
The K9 is a hardware “cape” board for the BBB (and BBW) that was designed as a developer’s tool for embedded LCNC work. The cape makes most of the bone subsystems easily accessible for prototyping and software development and includes on-board support for I2C, Rs232 & 422, analog (temperature controls & heaters), motor drivers, etc. Although this is a development board, it was also has the ability to connect to real machines by using existing PP break out boards. The axis S&D signals can be driven by PRU EGPIO lines or regular GPIO. The default board configuration supports: > Typical 4 Axis Mill + Spindle & IO (via 1 pp cable) > 3D Printers (4 axis + analog IO) (1 PP cable + some on-board terminal connections) > A full 9 Axis LCNC System + IO (requires 2 PP cables) The K9 is intended to be a tool to work with the LCNC Beaglebone software already in progress. It should also facilitate making the transition from the Beaglebone White to the Beaglebone Black. It may be an overly ambitious goal, but we’d like to see about getting LCNC Beaglebone stuff from Michael and Charles up and running on the K9/BB Black combination during Wichita.
