From Fortune Datko... on a simple script to change the hostname on a beaglebone black.
 
Available via wget too:
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jbdatko/d7fd5f4232db99f85e00/raw/636dd36cf34069489cd3988de7381d41c7595469/changehostname.sh chmod +x changehostname.sh  

Head's up for someone who is working on displaying text on an LCD. Pillow has a bug in the textsize function that does not account for the font offset, causing clipping.
 
Thanks to Matthew. You can look up the details on how to fix it at his blog.

I was debugging the ADC on the beaglebone( and wanted ADC data on AIN5 to be streamed out. Found a good tip on stack overflow to repeat data every n(millisecond) using sleep( other than watch). Watch clears the screen every interval and does not allow fractional time.

Below command will dump ADC data every 1/2 a second.
while true; do cat /sys/devices/ocp.3/helper.15/AIN5; sleep .5; done

Funnily enough, a container used for storing credit cards is the right size for a credit card sized computer.
 
Just temporary because the thermal insulation is undesirable.
 
 

Tom from Gersic takes a Beaglebone Black with a TMP36 Temperature Sensor to track the temperature in another room of my house, and turn up the thermostat when the temperature difference between rooms gets to be greater than 1° C (1.8° F). It will then turn it back down again when the temperature difference equalizes or the temperature in the second room gets warm enough.
 
He uses Twilio which sends sms messages from a beaglenest-server. Most of the logic is contained in the beaglenest-client script.

Uses a sierra wireless modem - CDMA

Florain put up a write up on how to fool the BeagleBone into thinking that it has the DVI cape(or shield) attached to it. He used an ATTiny to act as an eeprom so that the kernel loads up the driver for video out.

OpenOCD also supports the stlink - http://openocd.sourceforge.net/
