Here's a bit more info with respect to displays for the BBB. (Or Pi for that
matter)
The Backpack with Touch HDMI from Adafruit is 800x480 (out of stock and is now
800x600)

On my Version the Beagle MachineKit main screen looks nice.

Oh yeah. Happier with LinuxCNC than MACH3 although I must admit MACH3 was an
easier entry point and with a few lines of basic code and a clip lead on the
tool bit had the zero probing working well.
Now for LinuxCNC I took a stab at using a modified m6remap.ngc in the PSNG
screen.

OMG - I keep forgetting you are the ELS guy! I am glad you are here. And
trying linuxcnc..
You know how much works goes into these things! I have dabbled a bit in
some Arduino and such.. It is painful for me because ever time I seem to
have to relearn it.
Granted I have a pretty long history
Sam,
You are my hero when it comes to this sort of thing. I wanted to link one of
your RPI youtube videos but for some reason Youtube wasn't helping with my
searches.
I too have written CNC software, way back, Z80 Assembler for a laser cutter as
a demo that the machine was capable of what the
As I said, this is what I did. It is not a machine tool but a walking
dog-robot. The human interface can run on my iPhone.
Today we have things like $4 micro controllers (like the RP2020) that can run
an RTOS. It makes sense to use them as they are more capable than the IBM PC
was when L
I agree..It is so easy isn't it? Just use a ESP32!
I tried to write a machine controller when I was in my 20's... This was
before I found turbocnc (which sucked) and linuxcnc. (emc1)
I also helped test the trajectory planner improvements made when Rob added
n-segment read-ahead. It took
Three different screens. The Manga screens were for the Replicape which was
a 5 axis stepper driver module for 3D printers. One axis driver failed and
support for the cape vanished. The two manga touch screens never worked
well. I even sent the original back to demonstrate the problem. It was
I've attached a photo of one option for the Beagle that I was setting up for
my Lathe. The down side is the 800x480 touch screen from Adafruit.
Although it's HDMI and has USB for the touch screen I don't think it's made
anymore. So that makes writing software for that size screen kind of a
waste
Chris,
I must admit I had a bit of a chuckle when I read your answer. It's so easy to
just do this or use that or add these and then you are good to go.
If it's that easy I expect you'll have that tablet with the wifi connection to
the ESP32 and be executing G-Code by the end of August right?
Why start with a BBB/Pi4 and then add a screen and so on.
A better starting place would be a low-cost Android tablet. Perhaps like this
one. For $120 you get the CPU (that runs Linux), a touch screen and WiFi.
What is needed is a way to connect it to a machine tool.

Me too. A closer look at the fine print and selecting the correct button shows
the actual CNC controller is $513 or $541 for 3 or 4 axis respectively. The
MPG is priced separately at $96.
And this is why a BBB with a cape that included a Break Out Board with a few
relays etc. for under $100 w
