I am probably going into too much detail here, but I recently got a purpose designed boxford tcl cnc lathe from ebay for cheap (my only other lathe is a cheap chinese with very poor diy cnc conversion that I never really tuned and only ever use as manual lathe now). Anyways new lathe made me think its time for new controller and the tinker board looks promising but I am not sure what the support and technical documentation is like.
I did some basic searching and found no low level ARM and SOC peripherals documentation datasheets, so am going to try contact asus tomorrow. Has anyone got board support package details or even tried the linux dist used by the tinker board? I am hoping to buy one at currys (product page <http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/components-upgrades/raspberry-pi/asus-tinker-board-10158412-pdt.html?srcid=198&cmpid=ppc~gg~1022+%28DTP%29+PC+Components+-+Generic~Asus+%28E%29~Exact&mctag=gg_goog_7904&kwid=GOOGLE&s_kwcid=DS!700000001428950!177403783390!e!!g!!tinker+board&device=c&ds_kids=43700017948018338&gclid=CMmQwaPan9ICFecK0wodXikIXA&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CJSD06Pan9ICFVO3GwodxuIK5w> ) next weekend if I get good feedback from contacting asus. It should run machinekit at least as well as the raspberry pi or beaglebone its just a matter of getting hold of the SOC documentation. Anyways, if no one else has tried I will continue alone once I have found if requirements are fulfilled, then post my progress here. -- 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.
