That's awesome! Sounds like with the PID/PWM loops in the works he's well on his way to a working 3D printer solution! I've added an enhancement issue to OpenGB for adding BeagleG support: https://github.com&#

I actually had no idea that the Beaglebone had these guys hiding onboard. A nice alternative to something like a RasPi with an Arduino hat or a USB-connected Arduino. This is great for projects where you control the whole stack and don&#x27

At the risk of sounding old (I'm 34): at 21 you're still scratching your arse and bumping into things. You still have a great deal to learn and you will be learning for the rest of your life. Doing technical work at any organisati
