Olimex Screens

Hi

Are this olimex-screens working with beaglebone black? (I’m looking for a cheaper alternative to the cape.)

Hi

Here is the thing. The new beaglebone is amazing and it`s really cheap but now the capes are relatively expensive. Any LCD cost almost twice than de cpu board.On the other hand, Olimex cpu-boards prices are balanced with lcd display and other extensions boards too.

Then I suggest you design a cape that will plug into it the board and offer it for $10 in quantities of 1.

We are not working with Olimex. But, that is not a requirement Anyone can make a cape. They do not have to work with us to do that. All of the information is out the there to do it. They just need to build it, make the SW work on it, and sell it.

Beagleboard.org designs and supports the boards. For the most part, we leave the cape business the rest of the world.

As to the battery module, you can make one yourself and sell it. You need to keep in mind that to build 10 capes is a lot more expensive than to build 10,000. Before you build 10,000 you need the market to support it and the funding to do it.
