Sir,
I wanted to try out this TB6600 Stepper motor driver. It seemed reasonably priced and I wanted to test it w/ some past and “future” ideas. The MachineKit ideas for the BBB seem to be reasonable and I am going to learn more as soon as I get the image placed on the BBB for use.

P.S. The link has an advanced Bidirectional translator. I need to test only w/ something that is breadboard compatible, firstly. I think I will keep searching until I can make it to the point when I can add specific components (resistors, capacitors, and/or dc-dc converters) to make machines work later. I am still working on machine schematics instead of just handling electronics alone.
