Beagle recommendations for real

[fabiodive]

Hello all,

I really like BBB and for computation works I prefer it over RPI,
also the ethernet stack of BBB is more solid and faster than RPI,
RPI appear to me best suited for video processing,

To produce a shield for BBB consider using a HEXFET MOSFET
with a optocoupler connected to a GPIO.
I can design a schematic and assembly a custom board if you like.

I deploy FreeBSD on BBB using crochet script and some overlay files
I inject in the root during install. For GPIO under FreeBSD try to give a 
look to this:

you could use a python script to drive the outputs shield.
I can also write some code in C or python to manage the MOSFET shield.

Thank you all
F.
