Beaglebone Black

 

This page contains useful links for those interested in learning more about the Texas Instruments’ Beaglebone Black platform.  A graduate student and I are in the process of creating a Beaglebone cape which can be used by the SIUE IEEE robotics teams in their annual contests. PRU 0 (PID control written in C) and PRU 1 (handling of wheel encoders and PWM generation written in assembler) will implement four channels of DC motor control.
