BeagleBone for dummies / by Santos, Rui(Writer on electronics),author.(CARDINAL)619561; Perestrelo, Luís,author.(CARDINAL)619564;
The BeagleBone is a tiny computer board about the size of a credit card and which has all the capability of a desktop. This volume guides you step-by-step throughout the process of getting acquainted with your BeagleBone Original or BeagleBoneBlack. You'll learn how to get set up, use the software, build the hardware, and code your projects, with plenty of examples to walk you through the process. You'll move carefully through your first BeagleBone project, then get ideas for even better, more advanced programs.Introduction -- Betting started with BeagleBone -- Covering the basics -- Programming with BoneScript -- Programming with Python -- Turning your BeagleBone into a desktop computer -- Playing with the BeagleBone -- The part of tens.

Robot programming : a guide to controlling autonomous robots / by Hughes, Cameron,1960-author.; Hughes, Tracey,author.;
This is the first complete beginner's guide to programming and automating modern robots. Drawing on their experience teaching thousands of robotics beginners, Cameron and Tracy Hughes show how to automate robots (or teams of robots), translating your ideas into specific tasks they can perform on their own, with no remote controls. 'The Beginner's Guide to Programming Robots' builds your skills through four simple projects created with today's leading robot microcontrollers (ARM9 and ARM7) on leading robot platforms (LEGO Mindstorms EV3, NXT, and Wowee RS Media Robot). Step by step, you'll learn how to use modern techniques to program robot sensors, motors, and more. Along the way, you'll learn skills you can use in hardware/Maker/DIY projects on any platform, including the wildly popular low-cost Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and BeagleBone platforms.

Linux for Makers : understanding the operating system that runs Raspberry Pi and other maker SBCs / by Newcomb, Aaron,author.;
[Webliography].Linux is a powerful open-source operating system that has been around for many years and is widely used for running servers and websites. But most students and Makers encounter it for the first time when they are working on projects with their Raspberry Pi or similar single-board computers (SBCs) such as BeagleBone Black or Intel Galileo. Linux for Makers is the first book that explains the Linux operating system specifically for Makers, as opposed to programmers and administrators. By gaining a deeper understanding of Linux, Makers can add another useful tool to their kit that will help them build their projects more easily. Written with the Maker in mind, this book will focus mostly on Rasbian running on the Raspberry Pi as it is the most prolific in the ecosystem today. However most of the topics covered will apply broadly to other Linux distributions and will be called out when they may differ. Many times users cut and paste from a website tutorial into the Linux command line without understanding what they are actually doing only to be frustrated when they want to modify or tweak something to suit their needs. Also, many Makers shy away from using the Raspberry Pi or similar board because they feel Linux is too foreign and they think using a command line will be more difficult than using a GUI. This book aims to overcome those fears and provide a foundation for further learning and exploration. To that end, this book will focus on the basic principles that a Maker would need to know as opposed to other resources that go into detail that is not particularly relevant to building projects.
