Chelsea the Destroyer on Hacker-in-Residence: BeagleBone ShieldsChelsea the Destroyerurn:uuid:f4fd458e-7437-3268-b61a-aeaefccc3ba42014-02-05T10:20:45-07:00<p>Great point! We have been keeping an eye on our hackers' projects as they progress, and so far, our first hackers, Tara Tiger Brown and Sean Bonner, are the first to have created a <a href="https://www.sparkfun.com/news/1264" rel="nofollow">completed project and tutorial</a>. All of our hackers are awesomely ambitious and creative, and in most cases two weeks hasn't been enough time to have a project or tutorial to share with everyone. We may end up extending the residency timeframe, but in the meantime we'll try to do a better job of keeping you updated on their progress and results!</p>

EDIT: oops, nvm, they just link to the beaglebone website.</p>

Does it just take a while to put together the story once the projects are done?
Its ok if the projects aren't all successful. I think your customers understand that not every 2 week project will produce a significant advancement in quadcopters, brain controlled toys, monocopters, or CryptoCape technologies, but we can all learn a little from failed projects, and ones that just need more time.</p>

This at least will make tacking some crypto on easier... if not designing in from the start. When are you starting to take orders? Alpha testers? I got a BBB sitting in my ToDo pile. Perhaps with this cape it can be the net facing portal to the Haiku Lab</p>

Chelsea's writeup on Josh Datko and "Hacker in Residence". As my Cash-flow increases, (or when it does... LOL!) I will be ordering a Beaglebone Black and One 7" Cape to use with my Weather station and Log. I am pretty Green at programming but I hope to Step-It-Up through 2014. I am a double-degreed Electronics Technician with 22 years Semiconductor Electronics Repair experience. Since I'm learning programming as fast as I can, I will be following Josh and his Shield creating. (You have a Fan Josh... LOL!) Greatly Interested in Beaglebone Black because of its "Impressive-Specsheet!!" Talk-About-Power!
Funny how the controllers of today are "Light-Years" ahead of controllers of yesterday that I worked with such as the 68HC11 and Z80. (man does that date me or what??!! LOL!) Vince</p>
