Hi, The centroid is a more extravagant version of what I have here:
http://xylotex.netfirms.com/OSCommerce/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=27&products_id=114 which is $39.00 (no BBB included) A BB Black simply plugs on to the Xylotex BBX (upside down) and provides a standard parallel port type connection (8 pins for four step/dir pairs, four inputs and 3 outputs on one of the DB25's as well as 1 input/output pair for stop input), and raw extensions of some of the other available pins on the BBB bus on the second DB25 that are easily routed to a general purpose BOB like the one here: http://xylotex.netfirms.com/OSCommerce/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=112 I'm also in the process of making a completed 'box' here: http://xylotex.netfirms.com/OSCommerce/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=27&products_id=115 that I hope to have out in early April (the box works fine, I just have to do some documentation work which I hate). As far as machine control software, it runs the MachineKit version of LinuxCNC.
