How many people here are serious about making an ADC cape for the BBB? One thing we could do is create a wiki and do it as a group effort.
It sure worked for Linux. I myself would like a bank of ADS8344 chips - On the BBB that would entail sending and receiving digital signals on the GPIO. And - I hasten to mention, I am not an ee designer - AI SW is my thing. - BUT I feel strongly that this project is easily do-able. So please leave a response here if you are interested in participating. Here are a few tasks: (I am mainly interested in ADC.): 1. get digital signalling protocol from ads8344 spec sheet (ti.com) 2. get code to IO the GPIO pins. 3. post some questions on ti.com forums - get intouch with adc engineer there. get her advice. 4. V ref circuit. 5. choose language, Python fast enough? 6. order chips and interface boards for SMD type. 7. solder chips. (easy) 8. connect to GPIO. 9. start sending signals and do a conversion. (ADC) 10. write SW to store values in data structures. Anyone on? jb email: haiticare2011 at gmail daht kom. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
