BeagleBone
Tutorials for the TI embedded Linux board
by lady ada
New from the fine people who have brought us the Beagle Board, we now have a smaller, lighter, but powerful single board linux computer, Beagle Bone! We like this move to a more compact and integrated SBC. For example, there is onboard Ethernet and USB host, as well as a USB client interface (a FTDI chip for shell access). It even comes preloaded with Angstrom Linux on the 4 GB microSD card! Here are some tips and tricks to get your BeagleBone up and running.
Trinket (& Gemma) Servo Control
Get your Trinket or Gemma moving
by Mike Barela
Learning to control servos with the Trinket mini microcontroller is a bit different from other Arduinos. This guide will walk you through the process of controlling a servo with a potentiometer as the input
Adafruit DotStar LEDs
Imagine NeoPixels with a double shot of espresso…
by Phillip Burgess
NeoPixel LEDs are the bee's knees, but in a few scenarios they come up short…connecting odd microcontrollers that can’t match their strict timing, or fast-moving persistence-of-vision displays. Adafruit DotStar strips deliver high speed PWM and an easy-to-drive two-wire interface, bridging the gaps in the spectrum of awesome.
NextBus transit clock for Raspberry Pi
Should I stay or should I go now?
by Phillip Burgess
For transit-bound people, NextBus — a free internet service providing arrival data for over 135 transit agencies — is a tremendous convenience. Knowing when a bus is due means less standing out in the rain…one can use that time inside to get a little extra work done, or finish that cup of coffee. Using the Raspberry Pi computer, we’ll create a dedicated NextBus “appliance” that informs at a glance.
