I reached this forum because i was looking into BBB to replace my current router controller. I would of gone with BB-xM instead and i saw some distributors sell an touchscreen lcd, while a bit more expensive it does look quite nice. <br /><br />I looked at machine kit, and sadly it uses debian, which i again i would avoid if i can, so i'd rather go arch arm instead and compile all the rest coz this way feels much better to me. Although dunno how smooth this path would be, i am under the impression things are not quite there yet.

They're cheaper, better performing in most cases (with the RIGHT uC) than the "good' ol' days" config shackled a modern multi-core PC. Arguably more reliable too.<br /><br />Food for thought:<br />A BeagleBone Black (Rev B.) is $55<br />+8gb micro SDcard $10<br />+MachineKit distro (free)<br />+5v,2A(10watt) regulated power 'brick' @ $10<br />+Probotix PBX-BB breakout board @ $69 (optional, but very handy)<br />+Cheap HDMI monitor @ $100<br />+Cheap USB Keyboard/Mouse Combo @ $35<br />=$279 Done! :)<br />Try doing that with a PC. <br />Oh, and the BBB could STILL run HAL2Arduino to further expand GPIO options.<br /><br />BUT I digress, for budding scrapbot builders that have multiple old PCs/Arduinos laying around (like me) H2A is a free alternative, and really meant for those that actually LIKE to tinker with everything.<br />Plus, that subjective "no-cost of entry" adds a lot of "investment courage" to the otherwise "would-be" Makers out there. ;)<br /><br />PS: This thread is old and H2A is as well. These days I work mostly with the BBB anyhow. :D]]></description> <dc:creator>dewy721</dc:creator> <category>EMC2</category> <pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2014 21:28:09 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <guid>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?155,178334,374457#msg-374457</guid> <title>Re: Hacking LinuxCNC's HAL layer in to your Arduino</title> <link>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?155,178334,374457#msg-374457</link> <description><![CDATA[ No, i did not meant i wanted to use sli/xfire to run cnc :) I was just trying to put emphasis on the parts with requirementss like "put 3 parallel cards" or "use an old computer" are just a mark of obsolescence. Emc is so old its a wonder it did not died of old age already. When it was born there were no microcontrollers capable of doing what it did, and it made sense to compute on the pc itself. Now many uC are quite powerfull and ofc the future will evolve in this direction. There is currently no need to do any kind of "lifting" -heavy or not- on the pc itself. <br /><br />The restrictions imposed by the emc arhitecture, parallel ports, realtime os, etc, they are too big compared to the solution of delegating everything externally, which is quite cheaper and more flexible today. EMC has to learn that, or it will slowly fade away. The efforts to make it run on beagle bone or rpi are *the* (*only*) way to go. Ofc imo, thats just an opinion and its mine. There is and always will be an opposition to change, even when not changing endangers existence, and that is because this sort of opposition is not rational. Its just the ppls getting used to something thats all, and that has a blindness factor because they emphasise too much their old experience even when its not relevant anymore. <br /><br />Again imo the time when used to daisy chain multiple paralel cards should of been over many years ago. I dont think i can make you feel how this concept really feels to my ears. I admit it could of been a sweet deal sometimes in the past. But nowadays putting "3 parralel cards", to me just sounds half ridiculous and half preposterous. Again this is ofc my opinion.]]></description> <dc:creator>NoobMan</dc:creator> <category>EMC2</category> <pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2014 08:23:59 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <guid>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?155,178334,374251#msg-374251</guid> <title>Re: Hacking LinuxCNC's HAL layer in to your Arduino</title> <link>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?155,178334,374251#msg-374251</link> <description><![CDATA[ Last time I checked, both SLI & Crossfire pertained to memory bus sharing between Video cards. Not that GpGPU processing fundemenatly couldn't be harnessed to do it, but you *would* need some one-off custom hardware to get that "this century" processing power connected via the DVI Jacks (the real-world lowest latency interface for a video card). Or hardware that can at least read/write to your GPUs vram directly.<br /><br />The premise for using old school LPT ports was for its low-latency interface to the CPU via the south-bridge chip. If memory serves, 586 class CPUs or older have them direct wired to the CPU itself. <br /><br />But if you really prefer bleeding-edge hardware then you might wish to step away from the PC platform altogether, luckly there exists projects that can accommodate you there too. :) <br /><br />For example, you could load a Beagle Bone Black with a version of LinuxCNC (known as <a href="http://machinekit.io" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">MachineKit</a>) that has already been pre-compiled to run on the BBB's ARM processor. Plug in an HDMI monitor and a usb keyboard/mouse and off you go.<br /><br />Oh and if that's still not enough, you could run HAL2Arduino on it as well. Hehe.]]></description> <dc:creator>dewy721</dc:creator> <category>EMC2</category> <pubDate>Tue, 24 Jun 2014 17:35:05 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <guid>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?155,178334,374023#msg-374023</guid> <title>Re: Hacking LinuxCNC's HAL layer in to your Arduino</title> <link>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?155,178334,374023#msg-374023</link> <description><![CDATA[ <blockquote class="bbcode"><div><small>Quote<br /></small><strong>dewy721</strong><br />You can drive most common stepper drivers boards from a old-school PC's printer port directly.

I Get an extruder Head (I'm not quite sure which one), Heated bed, Electronics to drive the extruder and to controll the hot end<br /><br />2.) I connect everything to my CNC-mill host computer running EMC2. The extruder has to be configured as A axis.<br /><br />3.)

Instead, use the parallel port for moving the machine’s axes and reading the encoders. Why? Be cause its easier to configure that part traditionally AND it will perform faster too. If you have that class of machine chances are the general motion controls are intact and very well documented. HAL2Arduino should be sufficient to handle everything else like switches, DRO’s, jog wheels, joysticks, pumps, lights, tool-changers, indexers, control panels, touch probes, part shuttles, or even that 3-phase line conveyer.<br /><br />My ? is how would one use the parallel port to move their machine axes, with my arduino I have no parallel port, I have USB only and my motor drivers are on the arduino. Or am I mistaken and this answer is pertaining only to Das Uber?<br /><br />Thank You,<br /><br />J.

I will try Marlin when I'm ready for 3D. The only problem I see is that right now Teacup fits on Arduino Nano, which is, due to its small size, an integral part of my build. Marlin seems to run on larger boards only. If I discover any other Nano limitations and have to change controller anyway, I would definitely prefer firmware that supports arcs and that's where Mariln will be handy indeed.

A traditional CNC controller is all about getting there using <b>proper trajectory</b> <br /><br />I'm getting pretty dismal results but it's also a yet unproven router, so I'm not too certain which part of the issues is the software and which is mechanics. Since I'm planning to use the same router for 3D later, I'll get back to Teacup and see how it works for the intended operations.<br /><br />Oh, and also, most of Gcode I've accumulated so far uses arcs (G2, G3) and Teacup does not support them, so that's another issue with a Reprap firmware - it does not need arcs because it's free to travel in straight lines because its movements are never constricted by the shape of the workpiece - it's always below the extruder.]]></description> <dc:creator>ElectroNick</dc:creator> <category>EMC2</category> <pubDate>Tue, 03 Jan 2012 20:51:20 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <guid>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?155,89934,108197#msg-108197</guid> <title>Re: Temperature Control on cnc conversion</title> <link>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?155,89934,108197#msg-108197</link> <description><![CDATA[ I like it :)]]></description> <dc:creator>fma</dc:creator> <category>EMC2</category> <pubDate>Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:44:29 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <guid>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?155,89934,108186#msg-108186</guid> <title>Re: Temperature Control on cnc conversion</title> <link>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?155,89934,108186#msg-108186</link> <description><![CDATA[ Sounds good, but maybe "EMC2_full_reprap_driving" would be an idea ?]]></description> <dc:creator>DeuxVis</dc:creator> <category>EMC2</category> <pubDate>Tue, 29 Nov 2011 10:50:56 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <guid>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?155,89934,108178#msg-108178</guid> <title>Re: Temperature Control on cnc conversion</title> <link>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?155,89934,108178#msg-108178</link> <description><![CDATA[ Well, I don't only want to describe the temperature control, but the entire setup<br /><br />What about: Driving_a_Reprap_only_with_EMC2?]]></description> <dc:creator>fma</dc:creator> <category>EMC2</category> <pubDate>Tue, 29 Nov 2011 09:50:32 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <guid>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?155,89934,108176#msg-108176</guid> <title>Re: Temperature Control on cnc conversion</title> <link>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?155,89934,108176#msg-108176</link> <description><![CDATA[ J'sais pas moi...
