Existing Applications

12. Some More Applications
Interfacing to robotics motor
drivers

13. How to get started with BBB
• Power on
• Connect through USB
• Open CMD and type
ssh root@192.168.7.2
• Set password using command
passwd root
• Boot Beagle board using
reboot
• Login again using
ssh root@192.168.7.2
• Connect Ethernet (if necessary)
• Start programming

14. Programming with BBB
LED blinking
 Code:
Import Adafruit__BBIO.GPIO as GPIO
Import time
GPIO.setup(“P8_10”, GPIO.OUT)
While true:
GPIO.output(“P8_10”,GPIO.HIGH)
time.sleep(0.5)
GPIO.output(“p8_10”, GPIO.LOW)
time.sleep(0.5)
