This is a rather exciting and stupidly simple method for getting real a CNC interpreter (LinuxCNC) to run our machine without needing newly designed hardware. While the ARM stuff looks promising, the BeagleBone Black has a real-time processing unit. Real-time processing. REAL-TIME!!!
Anyway. I thought some of you guys might like to see this.

Re: Rosetta Bone: BeagleBone Black RAMPS translator
Edward, if the Beagle Bone Black is running Linux, it's NOT "real-time". (Unless the Linux it's running is RTLinux or other RTOS version of Linux)

Re: Rosetta Bone: BeagleBone Black RAMPS translator
LinuxCNC is distributed as a full system that runs a real-time Linux variant. This is even for machines without a PRU.
Where did you get it? This is the first I've seen this board (obviously) but I've been researching the various CNC capes for a while now. For me this seems like a much better solution than the BeBePr+ with a binary blob tranlsating all of the I/O.Flateric wrote:Currently waiting for mine, have been for some time.....
