Beaglebone Black + Electric Imp

Post by spiceice »

Hello All!

Im planning to buy an "electric imp" with my beaglebone black to use it as a wifi module with the BBB, so i can browse internet from the beagle using wifi, is that possible? should i use UART or ISP ? what else should i need?
thank you so much!

I don't have an answer for that. You might check the BBB forums (or the Imp forums).

To my knowledge, no one (who posts on the Electric Imp forums) has connected a BBB to an Imp. Also, the Electric Imp is not going to function like a WiFi dongle. You won't be able to connect them and have access to browse the web with your BBB. The Electric Imp's agent allows you to send and receive HTTP, but it is not like a network adapter.
