Hello everyone,

I am thinking about using Beaglebone to control motor and deal with 
encoder. To reduce the cost, I hope to use Beaglebone robotics cape and 
Beaglebone green. But I find on the website it says robotics cape is for 
BBB. 

Even if it works, I also need to have a Chinese manufacter to help me build 
(I guess it's much cheaper than buying them, even considering the 
international shipping). I find everything except BOM is available. Well at 
least I didn't find them. Anyone knows where to get the BOM of robotics 
cape?

I have two other options too.
One is buying a Beaglebone Blue. But I heard using usb instand of ethernet 
makes LCM communication to be unreliable. (I was intended to have LCM 
between laptop, raspberry, and Beaglebone). However, I can use a USB 
ethernet dongle.

Another is have a custom-made cape with mpu,motor driver and regulator. The 
con is again I need to find a manufacter. I guess I can build  it from 
scratch, using breadboared. But I don't know much about this approach.

Anyone gets any idea about which option I should take. Thank you a lot.
