Hi,

I am new the world of beaglebone however have played with many other SBC's

This place looks kinda dead, is it the right place for basic support for 
the beaglebone blue?

I bought a bunch of these for my kids as they appear to be an all in one 
solution to get started in robotics.

However, we can't seem to get some of the basic examples working. 

Bought some C270 Cameras as recommended because kids apparently need video, 
tried the demo from the following link but it does not work. Tried on a few 
boards with stock and latest images. Cameras work fine on a RPi or Odroid.

Gave up on that after googling and messing around for a few hours.

Next things kids want is sound, so try and connect to a Bluetooth speaker 
following the instructions in the following link, pairs ok but refuses to 
connect. Seems like it might be a permission issue, however more hours 
spent on google did not get it working

So what are we missing? These instructions come from the main beaglebone 
blue page. https://beagleboard.org/blue

If they do not work with the recommended hardware, why isn't there any 
discussion regarding this on the web google can find?

We did manage to get ardupilot working with some help from Mirko, but it 
appears that because of the use of I2C for the IMU and Barometer and the 
high interrupt? rate this system struggles to run anything else when 
Ardupilot is running so the dream of having the flight controller and 
companion computer like I have with my Navio2 is not yet a reality with the 
Beaglebone Blue, well at least not yet.

Anyway, we have quite a bit invested with all these Beaglebones and 
recommend accessories and are keento get things working as advertised, so 
where do I go for help?

Cheers,

Brian
