format
BOOK DESCRIPTION
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.
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
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.
