I have decided to use Machinekit running on BBB's in my Manufacturing Systems course for senior ME students. I've been using old PC's running Linuxcnc the past several years, and the old PC's have been failing. They also take up a lot of space in the lab. I've got one Probotix PBX-BB cape, which is perfect for my needs, but Len is out of stock on them, and won't have any before his design revision in 3-4 months. I have external stepper drivers.
Does anybody know of any capes that aren't already featured in the wiki? I've looked at all of those, and they are either too expensive, unavailable, or too fancy. I just need 3 or 4 channels of buffered step/dir, buffered home inputs, and a few gpio's. I've got a design of my own underway, but only have about 3 weeks until I need to have these running, and don't think I can pull off my custom design in that time. I need eight or nine boards. Thanks for any tips. -- Ralph -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
