With that we are at the end of this chapter, where we have learnt some basics about DC motors and their operation, as well finding out what an L293D motor driver IC is, and how we can use it to control a connected DC motor connected. Next, we saw how to live stream video on the local server with BeagleBone Black using mjpg-streamer package. Finally we worked on a project where we interfaced the L293D motor driver IC with the BeagleBone Black, and a live streaming image source, to HTML templates and controlled a robot using the input buttons on the webpage that we created using the Python and Flask web server framework.

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.
