laser cutter - oh my! #18

K40 laser cutter in parts, moshisoft controller is horrible.

Acquire BBB, parallel cape (e.g. xylotech - sp?), and stepper driver.

Because we want it to run FAST, might be better to go with a THB6064 driver (or if that's overkill, just some little polu-drivers or similar).

Oh, BBB+xylotech cape (Machinekit) might be the ticket for fixing #10 too
