@littleben1 : How will be  we and some community members coming together and make this 10 Projects in 10 Days happen ?

gsgill112 Do you have some content to start blogging with?

cstanton I was thinking Starting from Blinking LED Project and ending with LCD Interfacing Project with GUI

Should cover the basics and also give ready made software templates for future projects .

We probably need to work out which common capes and add ons we’re going to use or include too? I was lucky enough to get a wireless cape and my first BBB as part of a Sub-1 GHz Sensor to Cloud IoT Gateway - Review.

That is a good idea.

Here are my thoughts. The PocketBeagle is very easy to get started with and program. You really need no setup. Connect it to the usb port and it makes an ip network connection. Really seamless, I have tried it with both Windows and Linux.  You connect to the onboard webserver, and off you go. Plenty of ways to program. It has sufficient power to make a decent IoT device. The problem is that you cut the umbilical cord and it does not have much connectivity. So, my idea for the first project would be to build inexpensive wifi connectivity using ESP8266 or nRF2401 modules.

One option could be to use a MikroElektronika clock board to add on the connectivity? They’re not that cheap, but are a simple way to add features, and there are many of them, so maybe it would be good to introduce one or more of the range, since the PocketBeagle can support two of them.

i like the idea of something IoT like as a target to aim for, so we need to get agreed on some kind of progression from flashing a LED in hello world style to an IoT connected device, basically in 10 steps....
