It has been awhile since I have done much with my BBBk. Over the last several months I have been playing around with some other boards such as the Odroid U2 (have a U3 on order) as well as an Intel NUC. But am thinking about moving the BBBk that I was starting to use on a Rover to a 4DOF hexapod. Should be straight forward as I have 2 RPIs running my Phoenix port. One is on a 3DOF Lynxmotion T-Hex and another is on a Trossen PhantomX Hexapod. But I have not tested my 4dof support in the port, so am thinking of trying my Lynxmotion 4DOF round hex out on the BBBk.
My question is, which distribution/build would you recommend at this point. I believe the emmc has an Angstrom build dated back to 2013 06 20. I know around this time I was having issues that if you do something like an apt-get update/upgrade at times it would corrupt the image. I am not using any shields (other than the prototype shield). I have been using a few of the usarts for XBee and before to talk to motor controller. But for Hex will probably want to talk to SSC-32 (Atmega chip) so I will either use USB to serial converter or probably would need to use a TTL level shifter. So again would like to know if you would recommend sticking with Angstrom on the EMMC or go to a different distribution? Do any others fit on the EMMC? Thanks in advance Kurt P.S - Do wish the BBBk came with a larger 4 or 8 gb emmc. (I have an 16 on ODroid, 128 on NUC) Would have easily paid more for it -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
