> BeagleBone® Blue is the affordable and complete robotics controller built
> around the popular BeagleBone® open hardware computer. Linux-enabled, Blue is
> community-supported and fully open-source. High-performance, flexible
> networking capabilities are coupled with a real-time capable Linux system and
> a compelling set of peripherals for building mobile robots quickly and
> affordably. By utilizing the pre-configured WiFi access point, starting code
> development is as simple as connecting a battery and opening a web browser.

> The electronic components needed for a wide variety of mobile and flying
> robots are all included. BeagleBone® Blue has onboard 2 cell (2S) LiPo
> battery management with charger and battery level LEDs, 8 real-time software
> controlled PWM/PPM outputs for 6V servo motors or
> electronic-speed-controllers (ESCs), 4 PWM-enabled DC motor drivers, 4
> quadrature encoder inputs, on-board sensors including a 9-axis IMU and
> barometer, a wide array of GPIO and serial protocol connectors including
> CAN,4 ADC inputs, a PC USB interface, a USB 2.0 host port, a reset button, a
> power button, two user configurable buttons and eleven user configurable LED
> indicators. Built on Octavo Systems’ System-In-Package that integrates a
> high-performance TI AM3358 processor, 512MB of DDR3 and power management,
> customizing the Autodesk EAGLE based design to include any of your specific
> needs is simple and affordable. BeagleBone® Blue is ready to be a component
> of your robot.

> BeagleBone® Blue leverages and engages a large community of experienced Linux
> and robotics developers, providing integrated solutions for numerous robotics
> challenges. Designed and developed in coordination with the UCSD Coordinated
> Robotics Lab, the basis for the hardware and software setup has been utilized
> by hundreds of students already, before this general public release. Several
> programming approaches are supported today, including a C API supporting the
> integrated sensors and drivers, mainline support for the Ardupilot
> open-source autopilot software for UAVs, multi-rotor-copters and rovers and
> an evolving integration with Robot Operating System (ROS) allowing for
> high-level programming in Python or across the network. Additionally,
> partners have created fully graphical programming options, eliminating
> barriers even to those brand new to programming. Not yet another
> microcontroller robotics platform, the high-performance interactive
> Linux-based BeagleBone® Blue has test programs ready-to-run and cycles to
> spare, helping you get your robot moving fast.
