BeagleBone CAPE - wireless power

Anyone want to build a BeagleBoneBeagleBone CAPE with TI bqTesla wireless power solutions?

A "cape" is a BeagleBone daughterboard. We'll generally refer to them as "capes" because "Underdog" is a beagle and he wears a cape. The term "shields" is nice, but that has some implication of Arduino and this is definitely not an Arduino clone. Take a look at the list of registered cape concepts and register your own. You can purchase some of the capes via the CircuitCo BeagleBone Cape wiki page which attempts to log all of the capes currently available for sale.

Let me know and I will support your project!

FYI... These are the Eagle CAD files for the Adafruit Proto Cape Kit for Beagle Bone: ----> http://www.adafruit.com/products/572

Keith here, one of the lucky competitors in the Wireless Design Competition. Just thought I would hop on and say how excited I am to get this contest underway, and how much fun it is going to be. I am a fairly new member to element14, and I am delighted to get to know many of you here. Please throw any tips you have about designing and using Eagle my way, as I will be brand new to this title. I hope to bring an excellent and exciting project to bear in this competition! Thanks for your help and support!
