The article looked more than capable in describing how everything should be setup. The article you pasted a link to even went so far as mentioning that you need to level shift the serial communications between the two devices, and provided an easy to read diagram of how he/she did so. As far as be

I'm a total electronic newbie that is gathering experience while tinkering. If the UART is burned on this node, then so but it, far from the end of the world. I would still like to know how to go about getting my goal accomplished. Also, I do not have an oscilloscope or logic Analyzer, but i

Plugged the power to *what* 3v3 power of the BBB ? I hope you do not mean you hooked the UART of the Arduino to the BBB UART without a logic level converter between the two. I this is the case then there is a chance you've burned out the UART on the BBB that you've hooked to. The Arduino uses 5v se

Also, just retried the example with pins 11 & 13, with the device powered by the 3.3v of the BBB...still no dice. /sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/44e10800.pinmux/pingroups: group: pinctrl_uart5_pins pin 28 (44e10870) pin 29 (44e10874) -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss ---

William, Thanks you for responding. *" Need more information. What is your exact problem ? "* I'm not getting any data back from the from the arduino while its plugged up to the UART ports. I tried using UART2 and 4 but can't get anything back. Both my arduino and the BBB set for the baud ra

Need more information. What is your exact problem ? What are the exact steps you took ? You also realize that article looks to be for the beaglebone white too right ? But it sounds as though you have the device tree overlay aspect covered. So hopefully good to go. How you power the BBB should be

Hi, I have a working sketch for my arduino device that outputs serial data. I've tried following the following as a basis for getting started, but had no luck: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-BeagleBone-and-an-Arduino-communicat/ My goal is to be able to send/recieve data to/fro
