Can we modify Cayenne for use with a BeagleBone-Black board?

[james.gentes]

We manufacture a board that’s based on BeagleBone, and would love to use Cayenne as a simple UI. Is that possible?

Thanks,

Currently Cayenne does not support BeagleBone, but the Cayenne team is pushing to make Cayenne compatible with all IoT devices. I haven’t seen any posts asking for BeagleBone yet so I’ll let @bestes answer.

As @ats1080s mentioned, we’re only compatible with the Pi’s right now. We’re working on Arduino next (will be out soon!), then ESP8266 and we’ll be making Cayenne ‘portable’, if you will, so it can go on other boards such as Beagle Bone.

Perhaps I can reach out to you when that times comes?

Sounds good, thanks.

Hello,
Is there any progress on Beaglebone support, or information on schedule for it?

Thanks!

I think API will work for it isn’t it?

I agree, I think the Cayenne MQTT API would work for this…

@bert-ake @bilalmalikuet With the recent release of Cayenne’s MQTT API, you should be able to get the BeagleBone online and working with all of Cayenne’s features.

You can read more about the API here:

MQTT API Released!

Hello Cayenne Community! It is with great pleasure–and lots of coffee–that we are announcing the release of Cayenne’s BRING YOUR OWN THING (BYOT) API. This is the initial Beta release, we are planning on releasing additional enhancements and bug fixes in coming weeks. What’s so cool about the BYOT API? You can add ANY board or device to Cayenne. It uses the MQTT Protocol - perfect for IoT devices that get deployed in the field and often run on battery power and on constrained networks. …

If you can get BeagleBone working using the MQTT API, and submit your code, I am running a ‘board reward’ program where you can earn $50! Just need to follow the guidelines here:

How to Submit Your MQTT API Code to Cayenne!

Adding Support for the MQTT API This document will help ensure that Cayenne’s Github repository stays organized as community members submit their code. Code Standard to Follow For coding style, try and copy what the current libraries do. You can use this library as an example to follow. Please use Doxygen comments for your functions. For code structure, try and follow what the current libraries do. You can use this library as an example to follow. Readme Please include details i…

yes I am also thinking same way

[bestes]

Let me know how you progress with BeagleBone, we are very interested if someone from community can get this working Or if you have questions let me know!

I will be Cayenne’s MQTT API to bring my PIC microcontroller based system online
