Very modern surface mount manufacturing processes. Worth a look if you have never visited a SMT factory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FcqQvH41OR4 You are correct, not a lot of Python programming in that book. For some good Python examples on the BBB, look at the tutorials section at Adafruit. https://learn.adafruit.com/category/beaglebone Adafruit has a good GPIO/SPI/I2C library for Python https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_GPIO --- Graham == On Monday, November 30, 2015 at 8:50:51 AM UTC-6, [email protected] wrote: > > I agree Graham, an excellent book with almost everything.I recently > purchased the book after getting the BBB a few weeks prior and as mentioned > it covers all most everything.
