is just asking to get thrown around.
Programming this board has a steeper
learning curve than Arduino, but is much
more powerful once you get going.
It’s also compatible with MBED, so you
can program in your web browser
without installing anything.
machine is free, or have an alarm
go off when your bus is close by,
use the Spark Core!
With WiFi connectivity at its heart and
browser-based programming, you won’t
have to install anything to start making.
on our list, it also has the same shield
layout as the Arduino Mega, so you can
choose from a world of add-ons (3.3V).
Onboard WiFi and Ethernet make
connecting to the rest of the planet easy.
The support and active community are
fantastic as well.
loads of spare pins to control everything.
Great for complex projects that require
tons of sensors, serious processing
power and connectivity.
The Beaglebone has a rabid (ha ha)
community of users to help get your
project off the ground.
