A group of students from The University of California, San Diego created a motor control shield for the BeagleBone Black. The shield can be used in projects like self-balancing vehicles drones, or robots.
At Maker Faire NYC, David provides an nice introduction to the BeagleBone Black, and explains how it has been used to make projects like OpenROV’s underwater rover or Hoboken Makerbar’s Orbital Rendersphere.
Two projects featured at Maker Faire caught my eye because, well, I’m obsessed with LED displays right now. It turns out they have cool software in common.
Jason Kridner, a software architecture manager at TI and co-founder of BeagleBoard.org, shows how to program a BeagleBone to run Open-CV and face-detection algorithms.
With information about the new Arduino Tre board scare on the ground, I managed to track down Jason Kridner from the BeagleBoard Foundation to talk about the new board.
When two titans of the maker movement microcontroller world take the stage at the Hardware Innovation Workshop, they find plenty of common ground. https://makezine.com/hardware-innovation-workshop/
With the release of the BeagleBone Black and its dramatic price reduction from the original BeagleBone, there’s been a flurry of interest in the open source embedded Linux development board. At Maker Faire New York next weekend, there will be no shortage of BeagleBone projects, presentations, and enthusiasts. Here’s a small taste of what to look out for if you’re interested in learning about the BeagleBone.
