I guess I'm not completely clear on the hardware that's in use in AFMr, or MMr for that matter.
I'm trying to plan for the future, and imagining what it might be like trying to find replacement parts if something burns out in five years. I've heard reference to BeagleBone boards being used. Are these actual BB boards, or are they something similar but different? If they're genuine BBs, it seems like a good precaution to order a few now, while they are a current product, rather than try to hunt one down later.
I'm not trying to bypass anything proprietary to CGC, but if there are off-the-shelf parts that I can hoard errrr, I mean "Stock up on" that might come in handy later, I'd just as soon get started.
Same question for any other boards in the AFMr.
Thanks!
