New Part Day: Wireless BeagleBones On A Chip The BeagleBone is a very popular single board computer, best applied to real-time applications where you need to blink LEDs really, really fast. Over the years, the BeagleBone has been used for stand-alone CNC controllers, the brains behind very large LED installations, and on rare occasions has […]
Meet BeagleBone™ Black Wireless, the newest board in the BeagleBone™ family Replacing the 10/100 Ethernet port with onboard 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz WiFi and Bluetooth, the popular open source BeagleBone™ Black computer now comes with built-in wireless networking capability. Based on the extremely successful open-source BeagleBone™ Black hardware design, BeagleBone™ Black Wireless is a high-expansion, maker-focused, community-supported open […]
kelu124 has created an ultrasound imaging project on hackaday.io that uses the BeagleBone: Murgen: open source ultrasound imaging This project, Murgen, has a specific target of providing a technological kit to allow scientists, academics, hackers, makers or OSHW fans to hack their way to ultrasound imaging – below 500$ – at home, with no specific equipment […]
BeagleBone Black on an around-the-world voyage…
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 […]
