I was wondering if the stepper drivers have breakout pins to allow for running different stepper drivers? I will be running much larger stepper motors with remote drivers on a large printer I am assembling. My original design was around a smoothieboard but using a Beaglebone black and the repilcape seems like a more powerful setup for future expansion.

Yes, Betatester units were shipped out on Thursday and today. I’ll make a new blog pot about it!

Hi!
I have my BeagleBone connected via HDMI to a monitor.
I am not sure how to get the logs you specified.
However when I run LinuxCNC from terminal, I get this:

Starting Machinekit…
io started
emc/iotask/ioControl.cc 752: cant’t load tool table.
halcmd loadusr io started
BB-BONE-REPLICAP overlay not found
replicape.hal:10: program ‘./setup.sh’ failed, returned 1
Shutting down and cleaning up Machinekit…
Cleanup done

Not sure if its the same as the logs you are referring to.
Problem with overlay? I remember going over that in the Redeem setup.
Not sure if I did it correctly.

Hi! Great that you are trying to get this working with Machinekit and Shapeoko!
I’m not sure what you mean by “the logo appears then disappears”, do you mean on a screen you have connected?
What does the logs say? I’m not sure where it is logged, but at least check “journalctl –follow -n100” or systemctl status machinekit.service (or similar).

Hello. I am attempting to get the Replicape working with Machinekit as well but I am completely lost. I am trying to run a 4’x 4′ Shapeoko CNC with 3.2A steppers. Not familiar with Linux. I managed to get the Kamikaze image working on the BeagleBone’s flash memory. As I understood though, Redeem does not support dual Y axis setups with large current motors.
Anyway, on an microSD I have the stock Beaglebone running Machinekit. However whenever I open the replicape sample configuration the Machinekit logo simply appears then disappears.

Again, I am not very familiar with Linux CNC or Linux and there is no sort of comprehensive guide.
I am documenting my build and can document the software setup process when its done.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sam, I’ve seen the job you’ve done with making Replicape A4A compatible with MachineKit! Awesome job! It should not be much work to get the new board working on MachineKit as well!

Reach will need to be redesigned since the old Reach is no longer compatible with the new board. But it will be mostly a copy-paste of the design, so it should not be that big of a job.
The good news is that the new Reach will not be dependent on any input from Replicape (separate external connector supplying PWM + ADC) as was the case with the old version, but instead will be more stand alone and should function as a separate cape with 3 axes.
