Relatively new to small platforms and Linux in general. Have a new BeagleBone Black and am thinking about monitoring/logging sensors for future projects like monitoring solar heating, power consumption, state of devices in home, etc.
I read that CANBUS is a preferred method for multiple sensors on a long wire. Would you agree? What does the CANBUS Cape offer beyond what the BBB can already do? Should I skip the wire and learn to work with wireless sensors first? I imagine the cost is higher, but would that be a more robust and more easily managed network? Someone on the forums implied that the future of BBB and Angstrom is in question. Should I do my learning on Ubuntu instead, as I'm just getting started? Thanks for your time, patience and experience as I start imagining ways forward. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
