BeagleBone Black Case
DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor
LCD screen (e.g., Adafruit 16x2 LCD)
Jumper wires
BreadboardSoftware Requirements:BeagleBone Black Linux image (e.g., Ubuntu or Debian)
Python 3.xCode:
```python
import Adafruit_DHT
import Adafruit_CharLCD# Set up the DHT11 sensor
dht_sensor = Adafruit_DHT.DHT11(pin=17)# Set up the LCD screen
lcd = Adafruit_CharLCD.Adafruit_CharLCD(pin_rs=18, pin_e=23, pins_db=[24, 25, 26, 27])while True:
# Read temperature and humidity data from the sensor
humidity, temperature = Adafruit_DHT.read_retry(dht_sensor, 17)
# Display the data on the LCD screen
lcd.message = "Temp: {:.1f}C
Humidity: {:.1f}%".format(temperature, humidity)
time.sleep(2)
```
### Example 2: Using the BeagleBone Black Case with a BBB for Robotics ProjectsIn this example, we'll demonstrate how to use the BeagleBone Black Case with a BBB to create a basic robotics project that controls a DC motor using a Python script.Hardware Requirements:BeagleBone Black (Rev C or later)
BeagleBone Black Case
DC motor (e.g., L293D motor driver)
Jumper wires
BreadboardSoftware Requirements:BeagleBone Black Linux image (e.g., Ubuntu or Debian)
Python 3.xCode:
```python
import Adafruit_BBIO.GPIO as GPIO
import time# Set up the motor pins
motor_forward = "P8_13"
motor_backward = "P8_19"
GPIO.setup(motor_forward, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setup(motor_backward, GPIO.OUT)while True:
# Move the motor forward
GPIO.output(motor_forward, GPIO.HIGH)
time.sleep(2)
GPIO.output(motor_forward, GPIO.LOW)
# Move the motor backward
GPIO.output(motor_backward, GPIO.HIGH)
time.sleep(2)
GPIO.output(motor_backward, GPIO.LOW)
```
