Does anyone know of a place to purchase more beaglebones? Seems like

Re: [Emc-users] BBB and LCD 7

2014-03-14 Thread Steve Stallings
EmBest, a division of element14 (aka Farnell/Newark Electronics) has
started second sourcing the BBB. Slightly higher price, but includes
a console port serial debug cable. See:

 http://www.embest-tech.com/shop/star/beaglebone-black.html

Also, it looks like the situation with Circuit Co. should be getting
slightly better. A few units have shown up on GarageLab and Special
Computing, but sell quickly.

Re: [Emc-users] BBB and LCD 7

2014-03-14 Thread Steve Stallings
Yes, I looked at the Galileo and was not impressed with
it as a possible CNC controller. 

The I/O access is a problem. The Arduino compatible 
stuff is compatible only at the Sketch software level.
The actual signals are generated from I2C devices and
cannot be run very fast.

It looks like the best hope for fast I/O is the mini-
PCIexpress card slot. 

Also, the Galileo offers no on-board video.

The Cubie stuff looks much better suited for CNC control
if you can live without the PRU co-processors on the BBB.

Everybody is on backorder.  You just have to place your 
order to get
into the line.  Circuitco is making 3000 bone blacks a week, 
last I heard!
They are working on getting another fabricator started to up the
output.

Re: [Emc-users] BBB and LCD 7

2014-03-14 Thread Charles Steinkuehler
I have a bunch I'm taking with me to the Midwest RepRap Festival.  I'm
thinking I should auction them off to pay for the trip...

Starting bids, anyone?!?  :)

More seriously, the last boards I bought I just ordered from Mouser, who
listed 6+ week leadtime IIRC.  The two I bought actually showed in in
something like 3-4 weeks.  Just put in an order with a reputable vendor
and wait for a bit.

Supply _is_ tight, but nothing like the Raspberry Pi ramp up.  That back
order approached a year, IIRC, and there was a waiting list to be able
to pay so you could get on the *actual* waiting list and eventually
receive a board.  Now I've got two that haven't done anything but boot
up once (not enough I/O for me to justify spending time on th Pi vs. the
'Bone).

 Does anyone have any suggestions for a good 7” LCD touch screen to
 use with the BBB and LinuxCNC?

I have a couple of the inexpensive HDMI input panels from eBay.  You can
get a variety of sizes and resolutions, with or without a resistive
touch or capacitive multi-touch interface.  I personally like the
readability of a 7 800x480 display, but this is slightly too small for
Axis and the other UI options I've tried (although it seems like it
should be more than enough screen real estate).  If you get a 7 screen
with more pixels, you can see the whole interface, but text becomes very
difficult to read.

For development work, I've switched to using old 17 DVI 1280x1024
monitors, which are big enough for me too see, with enough pixels to
play with the various GUI options.  The 7 screens are cute, but
probably not real practical with LinuxCNC unless you're making your own GUI.

Re: [Emc-users] BBB and LCD 7

2014-03-11 Thread Charles Buckley
I am using a lilliput 7 inch, but that is on x86. Not sure about the touch
drivers on BBB.

I tried modifying gaxis for gscreen, but it was hit or miss in terms of
functionality. It would drop into a weird state where it would not home
because it thought it was homing an axis.
