Welcome to your BeagleY-AI journey! This compact, powerful, and affordable single-board computer is perfect for developers and hobbyists. With its dedicated 4 TOPS AI co-processor and a 1.4 GHz Quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU, the BeagleY-AI is equipped to handle both AI applications and real-time I/O tasks. Powered by the Texas Instruments AM67A processor, it offers DSPs, a 3D graphics unit, and video accelerators.

Inside this handbook, you‘ll find over 50 hands-on projects that cover a wide range of topics—from basic circuits with LEDs and sensors to an AI-driven project. Each project is written in Python 3 and includes detailed explanations and full program listings to guide you. Whether you‘re a beginner or more advanced, you can follow these projects as they are or modify them to fit your own creative ideas.

Here’s a glimpse of some exciting projects included in this handbook:

• Morse Code Exerciser with LED or Buzzer
  Type a message and watch it come to life as an LED or buzzer translates your text into Morse code.
• Ultrasonic Distance Measurement
  Use an ultrasonic sensor to measure distances and display the result in real time.
• Environmental Data Display & Visualization
  Collect temperature, pressure, and humidity readings from the BME280 sensor, and display or plot them on a graphical interface.
• SPI – Voltmeter with ADC
  Learn how to measure voltage using an external ADC and display the results on your BeagleY-AI.
• GPS Coordinates Display
  Track your location with a GPS module and view geographic coordinates on your screen.
• BeagleY-AI and Raspberry Pi 4 Communication
  Discover how to make your BeagleY-AI and Raspberry Pi communicate over a serial link and exchange data.
• AI-Driven Object Detection with TensorFlow Lite
  Set up and run an object detection model using TensorFlow Lite on the BeagleY-AI platform, with complete hardware and software details provided.
