Wattup, The other software-related answers were nice. I would like to just add that you should be aware of the voltage levels you are dealing with. The term "Arduino Sensors" is actually not very descriptive because it does not clarify if it is referring to the 5vdc Arduinos or the newer 3.3vdc (also known as 3v3) Arduinos. The BBB uses 3v3 logic levels AND the analog inputs are 1.8v max. So, having said that, I personally would probably be comfortable interfacing 99% of the "Arduino Sensors", but that doesnt mean you should just hook and pray...you might need level shifters, etc.
I did a BBB project (link below) which used a light sensor, which was designed for 5v applications, but since the circuit is ratiometric, I was able to just use the BBB's 1.8v analog reference voltage as my excitation source and the resulting analog sensor voltage was right where it needed to be! http://www.voltvision.com/beaglebone-black-and-sounds-of-the-night-installment-4-of-7/ Good luck! -frenchy (Steve French) www.voltvision.com On Sunday, June 28, 2015 at 4:04:24 PM UTC-4, [email protected] wrote: > > Hello, > > I am new to this BBB thingy.
