Hi Eric,
I'm running a BF20/G704 (modded with tapered roller bearings and an R8 spindle) mill using a BBB & MK. I designed a cape and some daughter boards to do all the voltage translation, using every available pin. I didn't touch the hdmi pins (so I can just plug in a monitor). Seems to do the job, haven't had a real chance to put it through it's paces yet......Been diverted on to cobbling together a Myford ML7/Super lathe. Around December I made up pendant to jog around via usb with a arduino ProMicro and the LUFA usb framework and hidcomp.......I like the fact you can offload step & direction to the PRU But I am considering going the Linuxcnc & Mesa route...maybe. All in all the BBB isn't a bad platform....people seem to bag it because of the graphics, meh, although I did hear one report of one user having crashes with rather large files and load times were slow. For hobby work I like it. I'd show some pictures but it's kinda just screwed to a melamine panel screwed to my shelving. hahahaha Good luck :) -- 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.
