Are you attending Maker Faire New York this weekend? We’ve already told you about the speaking sessions hosted by Trey German, LaunchPad applications manager but now we want to talk about where you can find BeagleBone Black at the show! 

First things first, a member of the BeagleBoard.org community, Phil Polstra is giving a talk at the Make: Electronics Stage on Sunday from 12:30-1:00 p.m. on BeagleBone Black: Desktop in Your Palm.

During this talk, Phil will discuss using BeagleBone Black as a desktop replacement by using ZigBee networking to coordinate applications across devices. You don’t want to miss this.

In addition to the talk, there will be a ton of Makers at the show showing off their projects that feature BeagleBones. Here are some of the top projects to keep an eye out for:

The Debrew – A delta-bot making hand-brew dripper coffee (Zone 4)

Cubes from the near future – A wall of 32x3D cubes react to whispers, laughs and more (Zone 1)

NYC Resistor – Visit one of the oldest hackerspaces in the US at the show (Zone 1)
