Like the Arduino "sketch", meaning > "application code". If it's binary executable code it's a program. If it's a text file it's a batch file or source code or some other type of script that is not itself an executable program. The blurry middle ground is run-time compiled source code. Several versions of BASIC work that way. You edit the BASIC text source code but when you RUN it, a compiler quickly converts it to a binary executable that either runs on the host OS or in a virtual machine. With some of those you can distribute the compiled executable without the compiler, editor etc. Others rely on functions provided by the programming environment. "App" comes from Application Software, which mutated from Application Program. Both were terms apparently coined by marketing people to sell programs like spreadsheets and word processors to differentiate them from other programs like games. People keep creating new names and terms for old things, supposedly to make technology "less confusing". Bollocks! Using the words that are what they are and teaching newbies the proper words would be the least confusing. A kilobyte is 1024 bytes, always was, always should be, not a "KiloBinaryByte" or the ghastly "kibibyte" or KiB for short. We who have worked with computers for 30+ years *know this stuff* and many of us think it's plum stupid to muddy things with new names for the old things. Come up with a new term for 1,000 or 1,000,000 bytes, which are in no way, shape or form a kilobyte or megabyte. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Re: [Emc-users] BBB cape available
Think of the "extensive logic" they used when they came up with the name "Beagle Board" and then go from there.. ;-) There are a lot of nonsensical names given to computer related "things" simply to make them unique. My rule is: If you spend a lot of time trying to figure out the logic behind these names, you have likely spent more time than the person who came up with the name in the first place.. :-) For instance; Arduino. Tell someone who is computer illiterate that you bought an Arduino and watch their face. And why would a name of "Adafruit" be a good name for a website and a company??

Re: [Emc-users] BBB cape available
A cape is an add-on board for electronics of various types for a Beagle Board (and Black). Similar to the Arduino Shields. RaspberryPi doesn't use cute terms like this, but the concept of cape or shield is easy to communicate and it easier to communicat than add-on board, or external interface, at least among the initiated.

I would like to order a couple of them (probably 2 -3). Any feedback on those. Especially, is there any display issue on the Beaglebone. I heard that the HDMI on beaglebone was sharing IRQ with other devices and this could impact real-time processing. Also, can we expect good thermal dissipation for long-life duration. Alex: I would like to place pre-orders. Could you contact me directly. Thanks!
