Probably a silly question, but if you're using a BeagleBone Black as the SBC, is there really a need for the Arduino Due? My understanding is that the Beaglebone's PRUs can serve as very capable real-time 32-bit microcontrollers.by Shawn.Walker - Handibot App Developers Forum
David, The guide you emailed me was very helpful; thanks for taking the time to put it together! I was quite impressed by how clear and polished it was, especially considering how quickly you got it together. I'm still interested in the larger part of my request: I'd like enough information to interface my Raspberry Pi and my Handibot (with its current control board). Or as muchby Shawn.Walker - Handibot Forum
As an aside, is it the interface board or the SBC software which debounces the signal for the Z-leveling?by Shawn.Walker - Handibot Forum
Hey David, Thanks for your quick reply. I wasn't aware that such functionality was already built into the SBC software, and would love to hear more about enabling it for use with my Handibot. That said, I'm a bit hesitant to start opening up my Handibot and poking around at the internal electronics. I have very little experience with such things, e.g. I'm not really fond ofby Shawn.Walker - Handibot Forum
TL;DR: Would it be possible for ShopBot to release some information about the Handibot's communications protocol? -- Heyas folks. I'm a Kickstarter backer of the Handibot, and have enjoyed tinkering a bit with it. So far, I've only made a few small signs with my Handibot, and would like to do a bit more. I'm more of a software person/developer than a woodworker, and my cby Shawn.Walker - Handibot Forum
