Some programming experience would be useful, but if you know how to use a personal computer, you can use this book to construct far more complex systems than you would have thought possible.\u003c\/p\u003eWhat You Will Learn\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower on and configure the BeagleBone Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet to know Simple programming techniques to enable the unique hardware capabilities of the BeagleBone Blue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnect standard hardware to enable your projects to see, speak, hear, and move\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild advanced capabilities into your projects, such as GPS and sonar sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild complex projects that can fly, or go under or on the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eIn Detail\u003cp\u003eBeagleBone Blue is effectively a small, light, cheap computer in a similar vein to Raspberry Pi and Arduino. It has all of the extensibility of today's desktop machines, but without the bulk, expense, or noise. This project guide provides step-by-step instructions that enable anyone to use this new, low-cost platform in some fascinating robotics projects. By the time you are finished, your projects will be able to see, speak, listen, detect their surroundings, and move in a variety of amazing ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book begins with unpacking and powering up the components. This includes guidance on what to purchase and how to connect it all successfully, and a primer on programming the BeagleBone Blue. You will add additional software functionality available from the open source community, including making the system see using a webcam, hear using a microphone, and speak using a speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will then learn to use the new hardware capability of the BeagleBone Blue to make your robots move, as well as discover how to add sonar sensors to avoid or find objects. Later, you will learn to remotely control your robot through iOS and Android devices. At the end of this book, you will see how to integrate all of these functionalities to work together, before developing the most impressive robotics projects: Drone and Submarine.\u003c\/p\u003eStyle and approach\u003cp\u003eDevelop practical example projects with detailed explanations, combine the projects in a vast number of ways to create different robot designs, or work through them in sequence to discover the full capability of the BeagleBone Blue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Packt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140196843760,"sku":"9781788291293","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781788291293_p0.jpg?v=1769893376","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781788291293","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
