Sorry folks if I'm asking in the wrong forum. I couldn't figure out how to tag the question as being for BB-AI. -Chinmay On Saturday, September 12, 2020 at 4:43:59 AM UTC+8 robert.sty...@gmail.com wrote: > AM57X RTC is not connected to anything useful > On the schematic > https://github.com/

The BeagleBone AI (BBAI) has the AM5729 system-on-chip.(which is part of the AM57xx series). The other BeagleBones have AM33xx series. The AM5729 has a RTC peripheral built in. BUT, the BBAI does not have the necessary connections and components to use it. If you need time of day, and do not ha

The Logitech C920 with OpenCV is a common combo with the Beaglebone Black as far as cameras are concerned. The BeagleBoard site has some Robotics examples but not all are for the BB Black: https://beagleboard.org/p/projects/tags/robotics There is an example from Derek Molloy on his website/books

I vote for using a Powered USB Hub attached to the BeagleBone. I've had to do the same thing when using a separate Bluetooth and WiFi module and for just basic USB expansion. However, I found that not all Powered USB hubs worked with the BBB; at least not so a few years back. I did have luck wi

Cool. I am unable to get your pygame or other fb examples to work but I can get the 'usr' examples to work. Perhaps this is for another post, but in your examples, are you using SPI0 or SPI1? It seems some of the setup for the examples are set for SPI0 and some are set for SPI1 yet the wiring
