Re: Anyone here using the BeagleBone (Black) to control their 3D printer?

The BeagleBone looks like a really interesting platform for 3d printing, and the PRUSS are very neat units. Basically like an embedded RISC CPU, and you get two. Possibly a better way to do it than hacking kernel drivers, the only downside is they are specific to the TI SOC.

I have a BeagleBone Black, haven't had time to play with it yet. I guess the problem is that the software will need writing from scratch, perhaps that is a good thing. I had thought of adapting RAMPS shield for BBB, but with Replicape being available soon there may not be much point.

The BBB may not be a cheap solution, but with all that power available it should make a good high-end system.
