The BeBoPr board looks interesting, but it seems like it is not currently possible to purchase one. The following claim to sell it but have no stock: element14/Newark/Farnel Mouser Digikey BoardZoo Digikey states that their stocking order is overdue for delivery. Also I wonder about pinout usage and other documentation. Where is the BeBoPr manual that Charles mentioned? I could not find any info about their assignments of the Beaglebone pins. Perhaps one has to read the code to figure that out. > > There's also the Replicape, but AFAIK it's on-board stepper > driver only > (Pololu class, but using TI driver chips). > > There's nothing I'm aware of yet that works for analog servos, but it > should be possible, at least for a few channels (the CPU has > 3 hardware > encoder inputs, and the PRU could support more in "software" at lower > pulse rates). > > -- > Charles Steinkuehler > char...@steinkuehler.net > > -------------------------------------------------------------- > ---------------- > Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt > New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance > monitoring service > that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
