[Lab] Introduction to the BeagleBone Workshop -- Jun 12th

[Janick Bergeron]

A little bit of shameless self-promotion for the workshop I'll be presenting in 2 weeks on the BeagleBone (http://beagleboard.org/)

The workshop focuses on the resources and I/O capabilities of the BeagleBone and how to program it. As a full-fledged Linux computer, it is quite different and much more powerful than the Arduino. I'll also introduce BoneLib (https://sourceforge.net/projects/bonelib/), a C++ abstraction layer I created on top of the I/O services to make them easier to use.

And last, but not least, I'll introduce the real-time control capabilities of the BeagleBone and show how it can be easily used to create LED strip applications (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPSW-lQvtRU).

Looking forward to this!

Cheers.
