Can I still call something a “Cool Kickstarter” if it’s on Indiegogo? Of course I can, this is my site!
Deepak from OpenElectrons and Mindsensors let me know they’ve just started a very cool Indiegogo project: a BeagleBone Wiress Console or BBConsole for short. Not unlike a previous project they did for the Raspberry Pi, this allows you to connect to your BB over Bluetooth from almost all mobile devices, desktop PCs and laptops.
This thing is absolutely tiny and can make use of the console port (J1), you just need to plug it in. It sits between the two big connectors for your capes, without interfering with them. It’s totally unobtrusive and I really like the look of it, or rather, the fact that there’s almost nothing to look at! It uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), so make sure your phone, or whatever device it is you’re using to connect, supports this.
You can find out more information on the Indiegogo page: [LINK].
Hello Xander, My name is Andy. You not know me, but I have got a lot of help from your blog : )
Do you familiar with BeagleBone Black? It is a wonderful development board with TI AM335x. And you must know that EV3 is based on TI AM1808. So I transplant all the linux drivers from AM1808 to AM335x. After that, I made a cape board for the BBB. It means I can run the entire EV3 system in BBB right now. During these months, I got a lot of useful information from your blog : ) Thanks for your sharing!
You can see it at this place: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZUc22_5OJU
It is a test version board in that video. If you are interested in such things, please contact me. I can sent you a test cape board. Let’s play it together : )
Wow! That is amazing! I would love to know more about it. Could you contact me at xander@botbench.com?
