Whoa. This can be the game changer to bring 32-bit printer controller into the mainstream. It's apparently a piggyback of an AVR-Arduino to the ARM-based TI Sitara (aka BeagleBone). This potentially opens up using RAMPS-type shields while operating on top of a really nice Linux-based 32bit platform that has hard...
Read MoreOne of the developments that I have my eyes on is the TI BeagleBone platform being used as a CNC controller for 3D printing. It's PRU coprocessors seem ideal for offloading the syrup and direction management while the main CPU does higher order work. Well, it appears that Charles Steinkuehler has gotten...
Read MoreThere is pretty exciting bit of activity on the LinuxCNC (EMC) group -- there is a "ready to run" port of LinuxCNC that is now targeted for the BeagleBone. This is raw stuff and still in development, but it sure sounds like it's already getting to be usable. With...
