I am starting this thread so that we can use it as a central location for discussing the Beagle Board and any projects, etc.

If you use a Beagle Board in a project post a link here.

Here are some resource links.

I have a 4 gig SD card in it that already had Angstrom installed on it. I picked that up at http://specialcomp.com/beagleboard. I am pretty happy with it so far. I am adding the touch screen to it, then rather than using a keyboard and mouse I will use the touch screen so I can have the USB ports for something else. I just found a case that I feel I can fit eevrything into it and have the touch screen on it.

What about board features? I/O, USB, etc. Are you happy with it? Does it support large capacity flash cards? How did you load the OS?

Sorry for so many questions.

 Thanks!

Yeah I have mine and its running Angstrom. I am slowly finding and ordering the parts I need for my project. I just got a touch screen for it and some other parts.

Anyone here have the Beagle Board yet? Arduinofun, you?

I'd love to hear some highlevel reviews of the board.

Just installed the latest Ubuntu on my laptop. Freaking Awesome. Not sure why I have been on Windows this long after 5 minutes on Ubuntu. Wow.

Just got back from Lowes. They had a 8x10 piece Lexan for $2.98 so I picked that up. I will use it initially prototype my idea, but will need to find something a lot thicker for my idea to be better. I will post the CAD files later when I finish them. I am kind of excited for this project to see if it works out.

Found a local plastics place also, so I will have to stop in there and see if they have a large enough scrap piece that I could use and get for cheap.

have you used SmallParts.com before? They have tons of great materials, incuding plexi, pvc, epvc, etc.

I was looking at stuff online, Lexan looks nice for what I want to do. Problem is I cant find anything in the size of 8.5" x 11" . Everything is in huge industrial sheets that cost a lot.

I need to build a CNC machine. http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Three-Axis-CNC-Machine-Cheaply-and-/
