CharlesSteinkuehlerCharles Steinkuehle, the guy behind the Machinekit port of Linux CNC to the Beaglebone microcontroller is going to be in town Thursday 6/26/2014, so we are going to have a special edition of the CNC build club. Special features on the Beaglebone make it the first general use microcontroller to be able to effectively run Linux CNC.
