Built an oscilloscope using Beagle-bone: firmware and software

Abstract

Beagle Bone Black (BBB) is an open hardware computer and a low cost suitable for developers and hobbyists to interact with actuators and sensors directly through the Web browser. A group of developers first established BBB in early 2008 and introduced in April 2013 by BeagleBoard.org. BBB can be used to build home automation systems, vision enabled robot systems and countless other own-hobby projects. The new BBB which can host 32-bit and has ARM processor that are capable to run many desktop and mobile-manageable operating systems such as Ubuntu, Debian, and Android. The "Bone" may be used in various projects from college engineering projects up to senior engineering design projects of complex systems. New users can access and have fun with the hardware-functionality of the BBB through the BBB software/firmware called Bone Script to experience through a Web browser in most operating systems, including the Linux operating systems, Apple Mac OS X, or Microsoft Windows. The aim of this BBB project is to show the process of the implementation of oscilloscope using BBB firmware and software.
