20 new plug-in boards for the BeagleBone embedded board

BeagleBoard.org has announced the availability of more than 20 new plug-in boards for the widely-adopted BeagleBone Linux computer platform.

Some of the plug-in boards include BeagleBone LCD7 Cape, BeagleBone Camera Cape, BeagleBone Weather Cape, BeagleBone DVI-D Cape, BeagleBone Breakout Cape, BeagleBone Breadboard, BeagleBone CANBus Cape, BeagleBone RS232 Cape, and BeagleBone Battery Cape.

“BeagleBone cape plug-in boards give open hardware examples of how to implement various interfaces and tested configurations that can be used for experimentation immediately,” said Jason Kridner, community advocate, BeagleBoard.org. “In fact, these capes are inspiring thousands of BeagleBoard.org community developers to build their own plug-in boards. I expect there to be more than a hundred by next year.”
