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?
I have a BBB but did not find the time to make a start unlee i have an older version. But indeed BBB is it worth to give a try. I can look in old resources how you get it to run. Main fact if Saillog provide installation scripts and not Noobs. This will make yours live more easy... For the Sensors you will have more advantages than with the raspberry
