Here's a link of the process of setting up the BeagleBone from 7 years ago. And again as usual with a lot of these types of projects. Unfinished. Left hanging. https://machinekit.narkive.com/qsd3ZYMP/hal-vcp-controller-with-beaglebone-g reen-and-lcd-cape _

As I said, this is what I did. It is not a machine tool but a walking dog-robot. The human interface can run on my iPhone. Today we have things like $4 micro controllers (like the RP2020) that can run an RTOS. It makes sense to use them as they are more capable than the IBM PC was when L

I think the BBB was popular because of the twp PRUs. These are programmable processors that are separate from the CPU. So you can get very accurate real-time pulses out even with poor latency under Linux. However, this does require programming the PRUs.Machinekit had a HAL unit for the PR
