Howdy - I was quite pleased to get a groovy BeagleBone BlackBeagleBone Black t-shirt at The specified item was not found. and couldn't resist wearing it for TGIF.  Boris looks so classy!

For those that have already have a BeagleBone BlackBeagleBone Black, do you have any new projects you are going to start this weekend?  And for those that are waiting, is there a project idea that has got you excited?

 

I'm hoping to get RTLizer (an RF spectrum analyzer powered by a USB DVB receiver) to run on the BeagleBone BlackBeagleBone Black using the HDMI output and GPIO inputs for controls.  Here's what it looks like running on my original Boneoriginal Bone with a LCD3 capeLCD3 cape and battery capebattery cape:

I'm planning to finsih reading the in-depth System Reference Manual [PDF] which I found in BeagleBone Black article on the CircuitCo wiki.  I can't wait for my order for Bad to the Bone to arrive:

If you've not had the pleasure of meeting the brains behind Beagle, Jason Kridner & Gerald Coley, then I recommend checking out this video where cliff ortmeyer of Newark element14 interviews them about the new BeagleBone BlackBeagleBone Black.  You'll also get a glimpse of the BaconCape (yum!) and a demonstration of how BoneScript makes it simple to interface web apps with the physical world:

And since it's now happy hour on Friday, this video on brewing beer with the BeagleBone BlackBeagleBone Black would seem to be an appropriate chaser:

    My weekend plans are to hunt down the postman and to pry my BBB out of his hands I'll work on the rest if that's successful.

    I also have Bad to the Bone on order but I don't have the t-shirt, I do have an Element 14 / RPi t-shirt would love an Element 14 / Boris one to match image

    I ordered my BBB on the 30 April and it looks like I have to wait till June image a whole month !

    Well that gives me plenty of time to d/l and read all the docs. Just got the Ti technical ref for the AM3358 that should last the weekend.

    Aw, sorry to hear.  I think it will be worth the wait though from the time I've spent with the BBone Black so far.
