Getting Started with the Beagle Bone Black 

The quality of content was way ahead of time. The editing ,voice over it's spot on

THATS the kind of Element14 commercials that i wont skip! :D

When ben says "Putty into it"@2:00, I think he means you can connect using a SSH tunnel. Putty is a well known tool for windows to do that. he talks about it @12:00

Watching your videos I'm Learn afew things... Thanks Ben for making this vids...

Beaglebone is nice for embedded projects, but if you just want to host a Linux mini computer you can get hosted ARM board with more power to run a webserver. We use Cubies and have octacore boards coming in the future and those work wonderfully.

As soon as I have mastered my Raspberry Pi I'm definately getting a BeagleBone Black it seems it has a lot more IO pins. And I like the fact that it uses mini HDMI and Mini SD cards makes it a lot more compact.

I really like this thing! And it's hardly more expensive than a larger Arduino.

Very informative! Thanks!

I need a Beagle Bone to drive my herd of Arduinos...

Thanks...I just bought an Arduino UNO thinking it will be a good starter....but after watching this episode, I will be getting the beagle bone. Awesome videos..thanks again.

I have no idea what this is, or what this guy is talking about, but I watch these all the time.

Funny that Ben talked about using this in a pinball project, and within a year Stern Pinball announced their new Spike system which was based on the Beagle Bone. I think they owe you some royalties Ben! :)

I have to say ben I'm a big fan of all the things you've done

I have no idea what any of this episode was, but I still watched it.

Ben here is a viewer challenge. Find the pinout for PS4 camera. Hack it to work with PC and Make it Do Insane Things LoLOLOL give it a try..

BBB-powered pinball machine sounds awesome, Ben!

This looks incredibly nerdy... Great!

Really goo intro. Much appreciated!

Differential signal's SNR can be visually characterized by the "eye diagram" in a scope

Rocking the ReadyBoost like a boss.

Haha dat grappling hook ! sounds cool ! this one is so cool with integrated display !! not needed to do all the stuff you do with the "portable raspberry"

would you be able to use this to make a tablet like device? if so would you be able to take advantage of the HDMI for the touch screen?

You finally uploaded it

Looking forward to the reflow oven episode... I really need such a thing right now.

hi ben, i have been researching whether to use a Raspberry Pi with an GPIO extension board or a BeagleBone black for use in a pinball machine and not sure which would be best for such a use, what would you suggest for use in a pinball machine?

Inspired by watching your videos i have to share a "suggestion" for a future video you should consider. i am test working on some projects now and have a few questions that i am asking myself like "why / what is a pull up resistor, why do i need it, what does it do, what if i didn't have it etc"; not a problem being that i am following adafruit etc and just copying but for my future knowledge i am curious as to know why, and how in the future i know i should even consider grabbing a resistor etc if i read into the DHT11 does it request it etc; another question is can / should i use similar calculations to cable sizing of mains cable to know how to size a DC extension lead of sorts to accommodate voltage drop; say i wanted to run a DHT11/22 up stairs to the attic / basement or run a soil sensor from an enclosure in the shed out to the garden somewhere - how do you calculate the size cabling that should be used.

Beagle Bone Portable!

hi Ben..that was awesome. I need to connect my Thingmagic RFID reader with the Beagle bone and try to command it so that with respect to my incoming ID signals and some other data...I would like some functions to occur...Can you help me with this?

I love your videos. I think you should do a video on the pcDuino or Cubieboard.

how long time it take to charge the new kernel. I'm tried to charge mine but it take more than 3 hours. what can i do?

I bet you could use this setup with the Screen cape to make one hell of a pipboy clone from fallout..

Awesome 👍

I want to use a Beaglebone or something similar to make a program that will open and close several doors, around 30 of them. Would this be something practical of a BB or would somethiing else be better?

Constructive comment: Please use markers with vastly different colors. It was hard to tell which was blue and which was black. Good video, tho.

That intro was bloody gold

"Do not use Internet Explorer." wtf XD The explanation in differential signaling was really cool!

I tried to flash beaglebone black with latest software version but after 10 minutes all user leds started blinking in heartbeat pattern. is this the part of flashing eMMC or this indicates that the flashing process failed?

Is this still applicable in 2023? I'm ready to buy a Beaglebone Black to get started with Embedded Linux... but want to make sure there is adequate support even today.

do i need to get the gaming cape? or does it work like a raspberry pi B+ and i can download an emulator?

hi Ben i have a show idea i'm making my own filament extruder -- i will need a scrap grinder so that i can reuse my mess ups -- i would like to see what you can come up with for the idea and may be work something out for the one you make --just a idea!!!!

Can you make a portable out of the beagle bone black and the tiny LCD screen......if you could that would be pretty awesome

Can you make a tutorial on how to recover one of these SD cards? if you try and format it from windows it doesn't see the entire card

Anyone knows why i can't install the drivers to link my PC with the BBB? I am running Windows 10 btw

MOAR!!!

Got one of the MAKE: BBB kits from Radio Shack on clearance for $45!!! Now I just need time to play w my new toy -_- lol

As of late may 2014, the lights all go out when done flashing the new image as the last step is shutting down the board.

Hey Ben, why do you use winbloat?

Ben, im stuck with raspberry pi, i need an lvds to hdmi converter for an lcd that i scrapped from an old tablet, is that possible to build homemade? thanks.

Got android working on a similar lcd7 cape, runs very well with the TI Sitara project rowboat android image (was playing angry birds on it earlier) thank you for the video though, the BBB is a great platform!

nice!

Can you link me that little wireless keyboard, it looks handy?

Hey Ben, if you wana try something cool which I'd like to try, build the smallest possible mini-itx case that can fit a GTX760 + 1 HDD and 1 SSD. Thanks. PSU wise u can only use ATX or FSX.

Hello, what IDE do I use to program for the Beagle Bone Black? Another question is is there any Semaphore project that I can try to do?

I want to make a led chaser but I don't know how to so can you make a episode on 'How To Make A LED Chaser'

We got the mac addresses for Alyson's MacBook and iPhone :P awesome Ben.

is "beaglebone black" suitable to build a synth with PureData?

Mine is on its way. I hope the community support is comparable to the Pi.

Are these boards better for robotics than Raspberry Pi2?

This would be a really good tv show

Could anyone help me out ? I want to configure Beagle Bone for my OCR project !

What's the latest product for same ?

LAG is bad ! Rest is good !

Hi Ben. Could you make a video about creating your own capes for the Beagle Bone Black?

Hey Ben, Could you become a math and/or science teacher at harding middle school? I am not exactly fond of mine.

THE COMPUTER LAG!!!! I cri evrtim

How can i install nuvoton icp programming software on beaglebone black (Linux) ?

Better than the Gatorade joke.

How to extend memory in beagle bone black ???? Sir

background music is awesome yo....

something cool to make is a mini amplafire to use with a mic so you don't need big speckers just a small one that will clip on your belt

Someone was able to run ubuntu on the BBB without the freezes?

i still need to buy 1

is anyone out there who has any idea how to use CCS v6 to get a C program into the PRU of the BBB???

Beaglebone doesn't use its GPU in the AM335X SOC. Its just sitting there doing nothing. All graphics related tasks are processed through the CPU.

A raspberry computer is cheap,great idea.

Can you put python 2.7 in the beaglebone?

The explanation for the differential signaling seemed a bit jumbled; the "noise immunity" and the lower voltage range(and therefor speed) are treated as two separate features, whereas it may be more helpful for the viewer to understand that the lower voltage range is permitted by cancellation of common-mode noise. something something something humbucker guitar pickups, etc.

Batman's grappling hook, classic!!

I just went to the beagleboard.org to get the newest image to update my beaglebone black, and I noticed that you can no longer dowload eMMC flashers. It said this: "To turn these images into eMMC flasher images, edit the /boot/uEnv.txt file on the Linux partition on the microSD card and remove the '#' on the line with 'cmdline=init=/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh'. Enabling this will cause booting the microSD card to flash the eMMC." I don't know what this is or where to find it. Could you help me?

if i want to got to the tech channel on tv i have you!

on 10:12 what keyboard is that?

Hay ben can you run a 3d printer with this my board on my 3d printer gone out

I just love your cheesy intros :D

viewer challenge I have a galaxy s2 thats still almost new but not using it and I have a android tablet and the cameras thats in it not so good can I take the camera from the s2 and install it in my tablet and will it work and how. also can I use those cameras to make syp cams

Why don't you use Linux on your BIG computer?

Lol at the start

Wait, hold on a minute. An LCD cape is... a computer monitor? It isn't a cloth cape with glowing light designs on it?

Great acting xD

Rusty vanished from the intro.. didnt work out ?

i clicked for puppies... now i want a "beagle bone black"...

Everything is great in your RU-vid channel. But you should have provided basic designs and project code. Without it, it will be very confusing. If you provide design and code of CNC machine, it will be the best.

How to do factory reset the beaglebone black?

wow

I know Ben is probably making more money with element14, but I miss the old intro.

such great fps on dat pc

Is this like Arduino? Or more powerful?

Whach the pack man in the back it was facing the box then facing the computer

1:57 I tried to potty on mine, but now it won't work and it smells like piss. Thanks :(

Nexus3 ?

Nice video :D AND FIRST
