Hi all,
I have a project using an Arduino to read the outputs of multiple sensors (temperature/electrical conductivity/etc). Currently, we set up a console text structure to communicate with the arduino through I2C and it displays the current readings, for example when you type this command,
INPUT command: { T }
This data is output,
OUTPUT: Temperature: 76F (updates periodically on new line)
This is great, however, we are placing this sensor stack with the arduino on an underwater rover that runs from a BeagleBone. So I have been tasked with figuring out how to have the Arduino communicate this data via I2C (cannot use USB because of the custom PCB) to the BeagleBone terminal(which we can see on the laptop above ground) so we can run these input commands from the beaglebone terminal and receive the sensor output from the arduino. Does that make sense?
I have scoured the internet the past few work days searching for a solution, but I only seem to find TX/RX or USB solutions or an outdated Angstrom Linux solution. Does anyone have experience or would be willing to help walk through this section of the project with me? I'd love to learn and I am stuggling to find a foothold on this portion of our project.
Thanks for any and all help, please feel free to ask questions if you need more info.
