the Snickerdoodle Project might be of interest... was created by mino
I have been using linuxCNC for a while now and have great results
retrofitting servos to a Bridgeport Series 1 machine. I have used old
PCs and meza cards etc. to do so. Recently I have become aware of
the snickerdoodle project
:
FYI I have no affiliation with this project what so ever!

www.crowdsupply.com/krtkl/snickerdoodle
For $55 you get: ARM Cortex-A9, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 154 reconfigurable I/O via 430k gates of FPGA
It sounds like a great fit for LinuxCNC and less expensive than the PC and Mesa route!
Not sure what it would take, but Is there any interest in porting LinuxCNC to this board?
Comments and feedback from integrators and developers would be welcome!
Cheers!

Hi
If you take this post across to the Machinekit forum, you will be talking to people already familiar with running on similar ARM boards.
At least one of them makes a living designing and programming them.
They will be able to advise as to its merits relative to other boards available.
Machinekit runs on ARM, which Linuxcnc does not. It should be able to run on this board already, assuming that other criteria are met.
