Overview of this book

BeagleBone is a low cost, community-supported development platform to develop a variety of electronic projects. This book will introduce you to BeagleBone and get you building fun, cool, and innovative projects with it. Start with the specifications of BeagleBone Black and its operating systems, then get to grips with the GPIOs available in BeagleBone Black. Work through four types of exciting projects: building real-time physical computing systems, home automation, image processing for a security system, and building your own tele-controlled robot and learn the fundamentals of a variety of projects in a single book. By the end of this book, you will be able to write code for BeagleBone in order to operate hardware and impart decision-making capabilities with the help of efficient coding in Python.

Prerequisites


This topic will cover what parts you need to get started with BeagleBone Black online. You can buy these parts from your favorite online store or from any of your local stores. individual electronic components such as resistors, transistors, LEDs, and so on are connected with a power source element such as a battery or other power supply source using conductive wires through which current flows through these electronic components, it forms an electronic circuit:

We will see how to make our first simple electric circuit using an LED followed by connecting a switch to it in the Switches and LEDs section of this chapter.
