A BeagleBone Blue Setup Guide

[geofrancis ([𝙂𝙚𝙤])]

setup was very easy, the only things I had to do different was change the wifi security type for it to connect and expand the SD card before updating Debian

I have ordered another one. they are too big for aircraft but are ideal for rovers.

I just ran this to show the security type and added that to wifi.config
connmanctl services <OUTPUT-FROM-CONNMANCTL-COMMAND>

where does a RC receiver connect to? That detail is missing from the wiki.

I have found this post asking about enabling CAN, but I’m not sure how to make it work.

BeagleBone Blue DroneCAN GPS etc. - how to autostart CAN bus?

OK so I went back to the beginning to ensure I hadn’t made a mistake along the way. I’ve adopted the suggestion to create a script ‘aphw’ to set up the hardware as detailed here: GitHub - imfatant/test (step 18). In my case, ‘aphw’ is: #!/bin/bash /sbin/ip link set up can0 type can bitrate 1000000 But of course the way is now open to add more hardware setup as required. Then I have the service: [Unit] Description=ArduRover Service After=networking.service StartLimitIntervalSec=0 Conflicts=a…

are the 4 serial ports mapped?I currently use 4 mavlink serial ports:

MLRS
Drone engage
ESP32
MAVsplitter with motor controllers, lidar, gimbal, AI camera and RTCM.
I could probably use 2 if I ditched RC telemetry and connect drone engage over wifi but i would prefer them wired.
