Spring into Action!

Our Co-Founder Jason Kridner, reminds us that “The Projects tell the story.” In assembling this month’s newsletter we are so energized by the variety of projects using BeagleBoards® that are telling great stories. From simple LED blink “hello world” projects from beginners to deep in the ocean rovers to space station research, BeagleBoard.org® based projects are inspiring! We are excited to see how BeagleBone® and PocketBeagle® are enabling new ideas to spring into action. We love spring; the air is full of energy and fresh ideas. We want to hear about yours.
Christine Long, Executive Director
