Overview of this book

BeagleBone is a low cost, community-supported development platform to develop a variety of electronic projects. This book will introduce you to BeagleBone and get you building fun, cool, and innovative projects with it. Start with the specifications of BeagleBone Black and its operating systems, then get to grips with the GPIOs available in BeagleBone Black. Work through four types of exciting projects: building real-time physical computing systems, home automation, image processing for a security system, and building your own tele-controlled robot and learn the fundamentals of a variety of projects in a single book. By the end of this book, you will be able to write code for BeagleBone in order to operate hardware and impart decision-making capabilities with the help of efficient coding in Python.

Chapter 3. Introduction to Physical Computing Systems

This chapter will focus on giving you an introduction to what physical computing systems are, what they are composed of, how they work and where they are used. First, we will get started with a brief introduction to physical computing systems, which will give you a basic idea about the basic composition of physical computing systems with an example followed by its application areas, and at the end we will see how we can build our own physical computing system using BeagleBone Black with a push button and LED using Python programming to change the LED state based on the push button press input.

The contents of the chapter are divided into the following topics:

  • Prerequisites
  • Introduction to physical computing systems
  • Basic elements of physical computing systems
  • Application areas
  • Simple project: Push button input triggers event on Python code to toggle LED on and off
