Over 60 recipes and solutions for inventors, makers, and budding
engineers to create projects using the BeagleBone Black About This
Book * Learn how to develop applications with the BeagleBone Black
and open source Linux software * Sharpen your expertise in making
sophisticated electronic devices * Explore the BeagleBone Black
with this easy-to-succeed recipe format Who This Book Is For If you
are a hardware, Linux, and/or microcomputing novice, or someone who
wants more power and possibilities with product prototypes,
electronic art projects, or embedded computing experiments, then
this book is for you. It is for Internet of Things enthusiasts who
want to use more sophisticated hardware than the Raspberry Pi or
the Arduino can provide. Whether you are an engineering student, a
DIYer, an inventor, or a budding electronics enthusiast, this book
delivers accessible, easy-to-succeed instructions for using an
advanced microcomputing platform. What You Will Learn * Set up and
run the BeagleBone Black for the first time * Learn the basics of
microcomputing and Linux using the command line and easy kernel
mods * Make introductory projects with Python, JavaScript,
BoneScript, and Node.js * Explore physical computing and simple
circuits using buttons, LEDs, sensors, and motors * Discover the
unique features of the BeagleBone Black and its real-time computing
functions * Build intermediate level audio and video applications *
Assemble and add ingredients for creating Internet of Things
prototypes In Detail There are many single-board controllers and
computers such as Arduino, Udoo, or Raspberry Pi, which can be used
to create electronic prototypes on circuit boards. However, when it
comes to creating more advanced projects, BeagleBone Black provides
a sophisticated alternative. Mastering the BeagleBone Black enables
you to combine it with sensors and LEDs, add buttons, and marry it
to a variety of add-on boards. You can transform this tiny device
into the brain for an embedded application or an endless variety of
electronic inventions and prototypes. With dozens of how-tos, this
book kicks off with the basic steps for setting up and running the
BeagleBone Black for the first time, from connecting the necessary
hardware and using the command line with Linux commands to
installing new software and controlling your system remotely.
Following these recipes, more advanced examples take you through
scripting, debugging, and working with software source files,
eventually working with the Linux kernel. Subsequently, you will
learn how to exploit the board's real-time functions. We will then
discover exciting methods for using sound and video with the system
before marching forward into an exploration of recipes for building
Internet of Things projects. Finally, the book finishes with a
dramatic arc upward into outer space, when you explore ways to
build projects for tracking and monitoring satellites. Style and
approach This comprehensive recipe book deconstructs a complex,
often confusing piece of technology, and transforms it to become
accessible and fun with snappy, unintimidating prose, and extensive
easy-to-succeed instructions.
