Navigating to the moon and landing on its surface during the NASA Apollo missions 50 years ago took some fascinating engineering within the spacecraft. The Apollo Guidance Computer or AGC was key to guiding the craft and to the success of the mission. Ken Shirriff and friends Mike Stewart, Marc Verdiell, and Carl Claunch have been restoring an AGC […]
Space researchers on Earth now have a powerful new way to remotely conduct experiments. Texas A&M University engineering students have been working with NASA Engineers, JSC Scientists and T STAR, a space commercialization company to successfully deploy an experiment station to the International Space Station. The first of its kind, “Hermes”, is a Class-1E experiment […]
This summer, four student projects in the Google Summer of Code 2019 (GSoC) will be mentored by BeagleBoard.org®. GSoC, sponsored by Google, is a global program in it’s fourteenth year, focused on bringing more student developers into open source software development during a 3 month programming project. After going through a detailed and thorough application […]
A new BeagleBone® made a sneak preview at Embedded World in Germany. Filling the gap between small single board computers (SBCs) and large powerful industrial computers, BeagleBone® AI (https://www.beagleboard.org/ai) brings the open source Linux approach to Artificial Intelligence applications development. Based on the Texas Instruments AM57x family, the BeagleBone® AI gives full access to the […]

Want to get started on your own PocketBeagle® project? You can today! Because BeagleBoard.org® supports both open source hardware and software, we have a large, supportive community sharing projects. A great way to begin your own project is to get started with one that is already in the community. Many students are taking the lead […]
Google Summer of Code (GSoc) is a global program that offers students stipends to write code for open source projects. We are excited that BeagleBoard.org has been again accepted as an open source community to mentor students in projects for the upcoming summer. Students and mentors are invited to join BeagleBoard.org for collaboration on open source […]
The leading international trade show and conference for embedded systems with over 32,000 visitors was the perfect place for the PocketBeagle® TechLab Cape and the PocketBeagle® GamePup Cape to make their debut. With plenty of IO and interesting features, these two additions to PocketBeagle® are a great way to have fun while learning embedded programming […]
Maze solving robots are one of the most engaging ways to expose teens to engineering, electronics and coding. At the University of Ljubljana, the oldest and largest university in Slovenia, high school students are doing exciting work with robotic “mice” based on BeagleBone® Blue. We met up at Embedded World 2019 with Rok Vrabic, researcher and lecturer of Mechatronics […]
