Empowering the next generation of Engineers and Scientists

As an advancement from mainstream SBCs for many educational institutions, the SanCloud BeagleBone® Enhanced is the next step in preparing students for the application of STEM learning in the workplace.

The BeagleBone® Enhanced open hardware design, coupled with its many physical and wireless connectivity options, make it an ideal platform for learning and developing embedded system projects. Universities recognise the increasing adoption of IoT across industries and are addressing skills gaps by adjusting their curriculum to embrace more courses related to embedded systems and cloud computing.

The BeagleBone® Enhanced features an abundance of input and output pins and many supported interfaces, making it ideal for projects dealing with electronics or IoT projects in the ‘real world’. Projects that require reading from sensors (some of which are already onboard), commanding actuators (such as motors or light systems), and networking are simpler and more efficient with the BeagleBone® than with other mainstream boards. 

Example SanCloud supported STEM and Electronics Projects

  • Quadcopter with wireless and autonomous control
  • 5-Axis CNC milling machine build
