Sep 14, 2013 - Getting Started with BeagleBone Black: The BeagleBone Black is a completely Open Hardware and Software single board computer for makers. Dec 3, 2013 - I spent yesterday at the excellent ThingMonk hack day. I like it) and Cloud9 IDE along with Angstrom Linux distribution. Whilst everybody else was playing with Arduinos, Node and Johnny5 I decided to have a play with Node-RED on the BeagleBone Black I'd brought along. May 11, 2014 - Now that I had my BeagleBone Black setup as documented in my first post, I wanted to start building ROBOTS. Apr 22, 2013 - While the more publicized Pi has had the greater momentum and geek chic appeal, Kridner makes a compelling case for the BeagleBone Black, starting with its processor. This is where All of these parts come with Make's Getting startedwith the BeagleBone Black kit that I mention in my Introduction post. You can program using either python, node.js or plain C. Yes you heard it right, it does all this magic using JavaScript. There is BoneScript, a JavaScript file which does all the magic to turn a pin High or Low on BeagleBone Black. Jun 4, 2013 - Did I just said JavaScript? So BeagleBone Black has python, node.js (Ah! The 100 The recommended way to program the BeagleBone Black is to use Bonescript which is an extension of Javascript however I will be using Python with the Adafruit_BBIO library more throughout this blog. "The AM335x sells for $5 in quantity, and With its "Arduino-like" Bonescript Linux/Javascript language, combined with the device's faster processor and richer I/O, the BeagleBone Black is better for teaching embedded development than the Pi, argued Kridner. (I haven't tried to use USB networking myself, but the procedure for doing so is explained in Getting started with your new BeagleBone.) The coding language is Javascript, not C. Jan 5, 2012 - The Beaglebone actually has 65 GPIO pins to choose from, but we'll go with the one used by the blinkled.js program that is included with bonescript. May 10, 2014 - The new BeagleBone Black comes with Node.js installed with couple neat libraries such as the BoneScript (https://github.com/jadonk/bonescript). With this library it is possible to get analog data from the pins using Node.js. I will go Once you plug BBB into your computer then getting started is really easy. Specifically, it's node.js, which is Javascript optimized for running on a server, rather than in a browser, by way of some extra libraries.
