Brian Benchoff writes on the Hackaday blog: Turning The Beaglebone On A Chip Into A 3D Printer Controller It’s understood that 3D printers and CNC machines need to control motors, but there are a few other niceties that are always good to have. It would be great if the controller board ran Linux, had support for […]
Embedded Apprentice Linux Engineer (E-ALE) is a series of 9 seminars over 3 days at existing Embedded Linux conferences: Are you an Embedded Engineer who is transitioning to using Linux? Attend seminars on how to start with using Linux for Embedded Applications. The Embedded Apprentice Linux Engineer program provides a place at existing Embedded conferences […]
Ken Shirriff has written an excellent in-depth look at the PocketBeagle: Hands-on with the PocketBeagle: A $25 Linux Computer The PocketBeagle is a tiny but powerful inexpensive key-fob-sized open source Linux computer. It has 44 digital I/O pins, 8 analog inputs, and supports multiple serial I/O protocols, making it very useful as a controller. In […]
New blog post from BeagleBoard and BeagleBone co-creator Jason Kridner: Much has been made of the complexities of the Linux device tree configuration mechanism–it is both a savior and a curse. It saves us from needing to maintain custom kernel logic for every possible board and daughterboard (Cape or PocketCape) setup and curses us with […]
(Updated: replaced link to device tree source to point to the overlay for PocketBeagle GamePup cape) Much has been made of the complexities of the Linux device tree configuration mechanism–it is both a savior and a curse. It saves us from needing to maintain custom kernel logic for every possible board and daughterboard (Cape or […]
Bring some cheer to the holiday season with this PocketBeagle project: PocketBeagle Wearable Tops off Your Holidays Use the BeagleBoard.org PocketBeagle with motion sensor to activate LEDs on your DIY “ugly Christmas” wearables. Fun and easy to learn! BeagleBoard.org PocketBeagle has great performance along with a tiny size and low cost. It makes a perfect […]
Software support for the BeagleWire FPGA cape was developed by Patryk Mężydło for Google Summer of Code 2017. Now the actual hardware will soon be available from Crowd Supply: BeagleWire: Fully Open ICE40 FPGA BeagleBone Cape BeagleWire is a completely open source FPGA development board. Unlike nearly all other FPGA dev boards, the BeagleWire’s hardware, software, and toolchain […]
It was announced a day or two ago, but now the PocketBone has made its first real-world appearance at the World Maker Faire in New York this weekend. This is a tiny, tiny Linux computer that’s small enough to fit on a keychain, or in an Altoids mini tin. It’s only $25 USD, and from […]
Mike Szczys writes about 2017 Open Hardware Summit last week in Denver: Hackaday’s Open Hardware Summit Experience This yearly gathering brings together the people and businesses that hold Open Hardware as an ideal to encourage, grow, and live by. There was a night-before party, the summit itself which is a day full of talks, and this […]
