-Sounds like should be able to directly hook BBB output to MDrive17+.  Revisit if there are any signals that need to go vice versa

-Select the example configuration that matches your hardware (I suggest starting with the CRAMPS configuration if you don't have any hardware) and launch LinuxCNC
-</code>
-<code>
-NOTE: If you want to switch between configurations that load unique hardware overlays, you should reboot

-===== BeBoPr++ =====
-I'm not sure if these are available for purchase (or even if I need it), but it has example configs and documentation
-Reading through the user guide
-Hmm this is unfortunate:
-<code>
-Each BeBoPr++ comes with a license for use of the PRUSS stepper driver firmware. This
-stepper driver is proprietary code that runs on a PRU co-processor and is stored in the
-BeBoPr++'s on-board EEPROM. The driver handles deterministic and accurate timing of the
-stepper pulses for all four axes simultaneously. It also generates the acceleration and
-deceleration ramps. Via the API†, custom applications can easily generate accurate stepper
-</code>
-Does this mean the PRU's are usually unusable?
-Probably not looks like there's also an open source version:
-<code>
-An open source code repository to build a 3D printer with the BeBoPr++ is available at
-https://github.com/modmaker/BeBoPr. This code uses one of the PRU coprocessors for the
-step pulse generation and can freely be changed.
-</code>
-Looks like LinuxCNC should have reasonable support out of the box
-<code>
-It has support for the BeBoPr since the original (first) BeBoPr and all software, including the
-PRU stepper code is open source. As a community effort, it evolves faster than the BeBoPr 3D
-printer code

-==== Cabling ====
-Y and Z go to 15 x 2 (30 pin) IDC cable
-X has its own cable going from inline to 4 x 2 IDC
-==== Parameter cable ====
-Parameter setup cable MD-CC300-000 or equivalent (USB to SPI)
-    * MD-CC300-001
-    * MD-CC302-001
-Parameter cable: [[http://motion.schneider-electric.com/downloads/datasheets/discontinued_prod/md_cc300_000.pdf|http://motion.schneider-electric.com/downloads/datasheets/discontinued_prod/md_cc300_000.pdf]]
-Found this cheap on eBay when I was looking for above:
-<code>
-MD-CC4
-USB to RS422 Comm Converter
-MD-CS300-400 REV-B 03/10
-</code>
-Might be useful for NEMA 23 (RS-422) but it turns out the manual had a typo…NEMA 17 is SPI, NEMA 23 is RS-422.  Seems inconsistent
-===== Original indexer =====
-<code>
-GUAVA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
-GUAVA MOTION BOARD 2
-FAB 0400-0580 REV A
-ASSY 0400-0590 REV
-(C) 2008
-</code>
-"Millipore Takes Over Guava Technologies for $22.6M"
-Probably hard to find info on it
-Not worth the effort to figure out how it works.  Replace with beaglebone black
-===== Fixturing =====
-PanaVise PCB holder (already had it around)
-As centered won't be able to scan whole PCB.  Need to find a way to re-mount it
-==== Use original mast ====
-Need to drill new hole on side to use the entire scan area
-Allows adjusting PCB angle
-Need to mount mast to t-slot
-==== Re-mount rail ====
-Instead of using the mast put stand offs on both ends onto t-slot.  Maybe make an aluminum adapter if I need something more solid
