Creation of a fully autonomous CNC control console (no need for a computer) with an architecture based on the use of a Beaglebone Black board configured with MachineKit (Embedded LinuxCNC), this console allows you to control up to 5 axes and is equipped with a touch screen allowing access to all functions of LinuxCNC. The Beaglebone has many inputs / outputs which allows to have the necessary functions for most hobbyits machining machines.
This page describes the genesis of this project since the elaboration of the specifications set until the settings and tests on machine.
To date, in 2018, the project is in progress, so this page will be enriched as and when the progress.
The articles are in two parts, the first part deals with the specifications on the interface board, the second part describes the realization of the console and its configuration.
