Hi, I think you have not received any replies for 2 reasons.
1) You have piggy backed onto a thread that has little relevance to your question (whatever it is) 2) No-one reading your post has any idea what you are trying to do and with what. I would suggest that that you start a new thread and clearly set out what you are trying to control with Machinekit, which is the main missing element. BBB is nothing to do with Machinekit, it is just an underpowered ARM board that is popular with reprap users and the like, because it does what they need in a small package.. For a person new to CNC and Linux, it is probably the worst possible platform to start with, as it introduces all sorts of additional complexities and arcaneness. There are lots of people out there using many different machines and there are lots of stock configurations available as a start. Until we know what you are trying to do, we can't point you anywhere. regards On Monday, 15 August 2016 03:51:20 UTC+1, R. D. Childers wrote: > > Thank you for working on the documentation.
