My BeagleBone Black just died. A new one will probably arrive next year, considering holiday shipping and postal strike. So, anyone who wants to sell their BeagleBone Black (old 2GB or new 4GB), contact me off-list. I thought BeagleBone Black came with only 512MG RAM. 512MB ram, yes. I meant eMMC size.
Curious, what do you use it for?
I've been trying to turn embedded boards I have into "scriptable" keyboard, mouse, and (touch) screen: * BeagleBone Black -- *success*, still supported. * Odroid U3+ -- *success*, but discontinued. * Raspberry Pi B+ (model 1) -- *failed*, due hardware limitation. Zero 2W has been ordered. While doing that, I fell into rabbit hole, and trying out more features in BeagleBone Black, like * reading/writing GPIO pins -- eg. reading push buttons, turning on LED * ADC (analog to digital converter) -- 12-bit (0 to 4095) * PWM (pulse width modulation) -- eg. turning on buzzer * eQEP (enhanced quadrature encoder pulse) -- eg. simple "counter".
