The BeagleY-AI Handbook

Welcome to your BeagleY-AI journey! This compact, powerful, and affordable single-board computer is perfect for developers and hobbyists. With its dedicated 4 TOPS AI co-processor and a 1.4GHz Quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU, the BeagleY-AI is equipped to handle both AI applications and real-time I/O tasks. Powered by the Texas Instruments AM67A processor, it offers DSPs, a 3D graphics unit, and video accelerators. Inside this handbook, you'll find over 50 hands-on projects that cover a wide range of topics—from basic circuits with LEDs and sensors to an AI-driven project. Each project is written in Python 3 and includes detailed explanations and full program listings to guide you. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, you can follow these projects as they are or modify them to fit your own creative ideas. What you´ll be working on Here's a glimpse of some exciting projects included in this handbook: > Morse Code Exerciser with LED or Buzzer Type a message and watch it come to life as an LED or buzzer translates your text into Morse code. > Ultrasonic Distance Measurement Use an ultrasonic sensor to measure distances and display the result in real time. > Environmental Data Display & Visualization Collect temperature, pressure, and humidity readings from the BME280 sensor, and display or plot them on a graphical interface. > SPI – Voltmeter with ADC Learn how to measure voltage using an external ADC and display the results on your BeagleY-AI. > GPS Coordinates Display Track your location with a GPS module and view geographic coordinates on your screen. > BeagleY-AI and Raspberry Pi 4 Communication Discover how to make your BeagleY-AI and Raspberry Pi communicate over a serial link and exchange data. > AI-Driven Object Detection with TensorFlow Lite Set up and run an object detection model using TensorFlow Lite on the BeagleY-AI platform, with complete hardware and software details provided.
