9 Nov 2015

As many of you know -- since you've worked hard for the last couple of months to get yourself the badge -- we have five copies of The BeagleBone Cookbook, signed by author and eminent electronics luminary Jason Kridner, to give away.

 

And today we're delighted to announce that fortunate five!

 

Tuned-Up Badge Winners

Firstly, congratulations to everyone who's got there. No small task, and we're proud of those who made that special effort. Your names were all put into a top hat, which was dropped on the floor and the names foraged at random from underneath my desk, with the following element14 members bagging the book (double check your postal addresses are all up to date in your profiles):

 

  • Clem Martins clem57
  • David Pettit pettitda
  • Shabaz Yousaf shabaz
  • Andy Clark Workshopshed
  • Bob Alexander bobalexander

 

Nicely done guys, and we hope you enjoy your book (don't forget to put up a review of it so the rest of us know whether to add it to our workshop libraries), and let's hope it leads to lots more exciting BeagleBone projects.image

 

Oh, and don't forget; the Tuned-Up badge doesn't expire now that the competition is closed. Everyone can be a winner here, by landing the badge and adding to your not-inconsiderable element14 reputation!

    Now that is the way you hook a young person into STEM. A little doggie on the cover means it has to be a fun book, right? DAB

    Hurrah, my Beagle Bone Green has arrived from China. I've been reading the book in preparation and am looking forward to trying out some recipes. There seem to be some good features of this board in the I/O area so lots of things to try. Look out for the reviews on my blog. image

    I've not really experimented much with the book yet as my board has not arrived from Seeed yet. The one topic I would have liked to have seen would be running on batteries and using the sleep capability.

    Hi Jason,

     

    I would suggest that you sit down with a nontechie as you put the book together.

    Have the person tell you when you have sufficiently explained your idea in terms that they understand.

     

    I used my wife for this process and it worked really well.  She is a talented artist with limited technical background.  She helped me with the Schrodinger book so that we had the ideas in simple enough terms that just about anyone could understand and contemplate.
