BeagleBone-Blue

BeagleBone® Blue is an all-in-one Linux-based computer for robotics, integrating onto a single small (3.5" x 2.15") board the Octavo OSD3358 microprocessor together with wifi/bluetooth, IMU/barometer, power regulation and state-of-charge LEDs for a 2-cell LiPo, H-Bridges, and discrete connectors for 4 DC motors+encoders, 8 servos, and all of the commonly-needed buses for additional peripherals in embedded applications.

There are presently 3 Programs, the Bluetooth_Publisher_Ros.py and Motor_Test_GPIO.py , Bluetooth_BeagleBone_Blue.py.

To Run Bluetooth_Publisher_Ros.py , ROS has to be installed on the Board this program recieves the data throgh a mobile App ( Say: Blueterm), and then publishes this data as a ROS topic.

The Motor_Test_GPIO.py , enables you to control the motor through an external motor driver and GPIO pins on BeagleBone Blue

The Bluetooth_BeagleBone_Blue.py, just recieves the data from Blueterm and prints the recieved data (Ros is not necessary for this program).
