Pierce Nichols and the Hackerbot Labs team are building an autonomous boat capable of doing sonar surveys of dive sites: Hackerboat An autonomous boat of unusual size Pierce recently wrote about the latest news from the project: Hackerboat Progress Since the last update, we’ve gotten in the water one more time (in late July) and […]
If you have ever spent a while delving into the bare metal of talking to the I/O pins on a contemporary microprocessor or microcontroller you will know that it is not always an exercise for the faint-hearted. A host of different functions can be multiplexed behind a physical pin, and once you are looking at… via […]
Ken Shirrif has written a great blog post with the goal of making the the internal operation of the Beaglebone less mysterious: BeagleBone I/O pins: inside the software stack that makes them work The BeagleBone’s GPIO pins can be easily controlled through the file system, but a lot goes on behind the scenes, making it […]

Jason Holt of Google announced the PRUDAQ cape yesterday: Announcing an Open Source ADC board for BeagleBone We wanted to measure the strength of a carrier. We started with traditional analog circuits — amplifier, filter, envelope detector, threshold. You can see some of our prototypes in the image below; they get pretty messy. The result […]
by Christopher Rush and Jason Kridner The first available WiFi plus BLE board from the BeagleBone community Seeed Studio BeagleBone Green Wireless is a joint effort between BeagleBoard.org and Seeed Studio. It is based on the open-source hardware design of the successful BeagleBone Black development board. It includes two Grove connectors, which allows users to […]
mobilewill was looking for a logic analyzer and found this BeagleBone-based solutions: Quest for a Logic Analzyer The BeagleLogic is a logic analyzer based on the Beaglebone created by Kumar Abhishek, a semi-finalist of the Hackaday Prize Best Product 2015. The BeagleLogic features: 100MSPS 14 Channels Web Interface What makes the BeagleLogic special is it […]
Introduction In his part of the series I’m going to show you how to write a very basic C Host-Application that will run a program on the PRU. This part of the series assumes, that you have basic C skills. I’ll also include some useful links to the official ti API. All compiling can be […]
BeagleBoard.org Foundation has 7 students participating in Google Summer of Code 2016: Exposing the PRU as an I2C and SPI master Controller Gain extra serial interfaces without wasting valuable CPU cycles in bitabanging. Student: Vaibhav Choudhary Mentors: Andrew Bradford, Matt Porter Source Code Wiki SPI slave driver implementation Help the BeagleBone community to write applications […]
by Marc Murphy – SanCloud SanCloud is joining the BeagleBoard.org logo licensing family and enhancing the open hardware BeagleBone Black design you love with more features than you thought possible! It still has a blistering 1GHz processor and like the BeagleBone Black, two 46-pin headers, micro HDMI for audio/video output, USB ports, Ethernet and other […]
