Options for Bluetooth?

General Discussion

I have a few BBB’s from years ago that I had worked on and now I’ve got some ideas on something to build and sell.

The problem is, no one seems to be selling these things. Mouser, Newark, and Digikey sell BBB and pocket beagle’s. The Blue seems to be discontinued and I can’t find a BlueTooth cape of any sort. Can’t find a BBB Rev D. Amazon doesn’t really have much and Adafruit has discontinued all things Beagle. I can’t find displays for any of the boards.

Am I just looking in the wrong places or expecting too much from beaglebones? What are my options for finding a compatible BT and small displays around 2-4” of different types?

you can buy USB bluetooth devices, there are 2.4" SPI TFT LCD Displays

once you prove your design, you could fab your own board that meets you end product needs.

there’s word that there will be a new form factor BBB out later this year.

Yeah, I’m aware of those. I guess I am just concerned that it appears Beagle stuff is dead. I don’t get why it’s so hard to find compared to other eco systems. I mean, there’s no wireless cape? I have to use my only USB port? Yeah, I know, I could get a hub. But really?
