Hello world. I am new to this group. 

I recently made a new cape for my DIY CNC machine build. It is an opto 
isolation cape for connecting external drivers to the BeagleBone. It also 
includes an LVDS video output for an LCD screen. The main features are:
 
     15 high-speed outputs
     4 solid state relay outputs (500mA)
     10 high-speed inputs
     12 bit color LVDS video (CMOS)
     isolated serial port I/O (UART4)

All the optos are DIP socketed. There is a slot for easy access to serial 
debug. And there's an LED.   ;-)


I tested the first one today. It works really well. 

The design is open-source. I'd like to contribute to the Machinekit 
project. 

Also, I am able to produce these capes in volume. I would like to poll the 
community to ask of a Kickstarter is worth the effort. Does anyone out 
there need an Optocape?
