This is a general purpose robotics board for Beaglebone Black. Sold as a blank PCB and currently selling for $27.50 and can be purchased at www.embeddedtoys.com. PCB is 4 layers with a matte black solder mask. Assemble all of it or just the sections you want. Available for download from github are the dts files, C++ source, Win7 GUI for testing each section and eclipse project folder. Also schematics, BOM, assembly drawing can be downloaded from github as well. Motor voltage capacitor footprints support up to 45V motor voltage. Communication to software interface is thru TCP.
 
 
 
Designed onto the PCB includes.

==Signal Usage==
 
The BeagleBone Robo Cape uses the following signals:
 
* DGND
 
* VDD_5V
 
* SYS_RESETn (A1 only)
 
* I2C2_SCL
 
* I2C2_SDA
 
* SPI0
 
* SPI1
 
* Several GPIO's
 
 
 
==EEPROM==
 
Currently firmware loads as virtual capes. This gives the user the freedom of using the
 
EEPROM for there own use.
