Hello sir,

Do you still work on this project?

I am using the device I built, but not much changes since then. It should be usable as-is, but might need some updates as the Kernel interfaces to the PRU changed.

I have built a version of cone arc mirror design, but then other projects got my attention, so I never fitted that entirely. There is also a new cape for the pocket beagle, I only tested parts of it, as it uses a bit of a different stepper motor control.

Though good point, I should revisit this project and update it to latest things and get the pocket beagle going.

I made two forks of the project; ldgraphy and hexastorm. The cone arc mirror is an interesting idea. Nextscantechnology uses large mirrors in laser scanning and Formlabs uses a parabolic mirror. I always thought the cone arc mirror idea would be hard to manufacture but this is also determined by the desired accuracy. At the moment, I am trying to write a FPGA core for Beagle G. I do not intend to rewrite the rest of the beagle G code base. I actually already have a repo for it FPGAG but is not close to working at the moment.
