Dart, Debian and BeagleBones performed marvelously at our meeting last night (http://www.blu.org/cgi-bin/calendar/2014-oct).
The agenda rumbled through Dart, Debian, BeagleBone, Linux/GPIO, Networks, IoT and the “Physical Web.”
Prior to the meeting, we built an 11-beagle net with ethernet, DHCP/AP and switches. Our classroom deployment was a wireless mesh. The BeagleBones ran Wheezy and Jessie. Each Beagle ran a web server (in Dart) that auto-booted. Each Beagle ran a “unique” Dart web app to distinguish one node-url from another. The intent was a simple simulation of a “physical web” or “IoT infrastructure”.
Attendees browsed Beagle-servers from their tablets / laptops. They SSH’d in to the Beagles to root around and run their first Dart program. We walked through Dart code (and the IDE) at the projector and discussed Beagle designs. Towards the end of the meeting, we talked about circuits, sensors and beacons and how to connect them to the BeagleBone with Dart. To wrap it up, a couple people connected their Android phone to a TI SensorTag.
