Hello there,
I am currently using two TI products for a thesis project. I am a mechanical engineering student and I am working with the Beagle Bone Black, and the DLP LightCrafter 4500.
I have experience programming, but I am not an elite programmer.... yet.
I have been able to interface with the BBB using PuTTY without any problems. What I am trying to do is create a GUI application on my Windows computer to "run" applications on the BBB which will control things like stepper motors and a video projector.
I know that there is serial (TTL) connections available, but because I lack computer engineering experience, this all seems a little confusing.
I just want to be able to create a GUI application to run certain programs on the BBB. Is this best done using the J1 port? I have a serial-to-TTL cable... but I'm just not that confident yet... ya know???
Any guidance would be helpful!
