Executive Summary

TI's BeagleBoard and Pico Projector are a powerful combination. Using the Pico Projector to display output from the BeagleBoard yields a large picture from a very small package. However, the Pico's small size and weight mean that it does not often sit level, resulting in a skewed projection image. This project aims to use a 3-axis accelerometer mounted on the BeagleBoard to auto-correct this distortion, resulting in a correct projection even when the Pico Projector is not lying flat.

Currently, the BeagleBoard can read data from the accelerometer and compute its, and the Pico's, orientation.

Give two sentences telling what isn't working.

End with a two sentence conclusion.

The sentence count is approximate and only to give an idea of the expected length.

Instillation Instructions

Give step by step instructions on how to install your project on the SPEd2 image.

  • Include your github path as a link like this: https://github.com/MarkAYoder/gitLearn.
  • Include any additional packages installed via opkg.
  • Include kernel mods.
  • If there is extra hardware needed, include links to where it can be obtained.

User Instructions

Once everything is installed, how do you use the program? Give details here, so if you have a long user manual, link to it here.

Highlights

Here is where you brag about what your project can do.

Consider including a YouTube demo.

Theory of Operation

Give a high level overview of the structure of your software. Are you using GStreamer? Show a diagram of the pipeline. Are you running multiple tasks? Show what they do and how they interact.

Work Breakdown

List the major tasks in your project and who did what.

Also list here what doesn't work yet and when you think it will be finished and who is finishing it.

Conclusions

Give some concluding thoughts about the project. Suggest some future additions that could make it even more interesting.
