Hi guys,
I'm thinking of jumping into the OpenPlotter world, and have been looking around at different sensor options, shields, etc. In my searching, I came across the Beaglebone Black Enhanced. In addition to the more numerous and useful IO's (and CANbus support) of the typical Beaglebone Black, it has built in wifi, more usb ports, barometer and temp sensor, and the best of all: a 6-axis accel/gyro. This eliminates the need for several additional sensors needed for the Rpi or original BBB. With a CAN cape, it seems like this would be an ideal base for an OpenPlotter build.
So my question is: What type of trouble would one likely run into trying to get OpenPlotter to work on a BBB running Debian?
