Slides are up from the Embedded Systems Conference “Build Your Own Embedded System” by Gerald Coley and Jason Kridner – BeagleBoard via mightohm. The $150 USB-powered Beagle Board is a low-cost, fan-less single board computer… it’s an open source hardware project that was funded by Digi-Key and TI with design contributions from their community. As far as open source hardware projects go – this is one to watch.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Hmm. I look at that, wondering what to do with all the computing power on the small board. “Mini Tivo” comes to mind, though a SATA interface would make that a bit easier. Has anybody done an Android port?
An Arduino or Pic24F already handles hardware gadgets needing a bit of TCP and SD Card memory for less $$.
Perhaps others can post applications making use of the extra 590Mhz?
I saw a site that had a link to a Andriod port for BeagleBoard.
