What Are We Doing Here? In an earlier post I described how to use the py-gaugette library to drive an Adafruit 128×32 monochrome OLED display from a Raspberry Pi, and a followup article added high-quality fonts. I’ve now updated the library to run on the BeagleBone Black and to support Adafruit’s larger 128×64 display. On

At the Maker Faire in New York City, ValentFX showed off two open source FPGA boards that stack with BeagleBone and Raspberry Pi SBCs, and also unveiled BBot, a BeagleBone-based drink serving robot built with an earlier FPGA board version. The FPGA add-on boards use Xilinx Spartan 6 LX9 FPGAs, offer Arduino and PMOD expansion,
