It sure would be fun, though using $45 BBB with $250 MESA boards set (say
5i25 & 7i77) looks not so reasonable.
Based on the recent discussions on the list I hope that PRU's could replace
FPGA in some way. While FPGA remains much more universal solution.

I'm building Rostock-like device which I intend to use for both small
milling/engraving and 3D printing. And I have Beaglebone Black.
So I'll be glad to participate in testing and whatever comes about BBB and
LinuxCNC.
Particularly I like the idea of 3D printing with LinuxCNC.

Best regards,
Andrew
