So looking at all the options for DIY contollers. Currently I am working with an Arduino Mega. I like the fact that with a microcontroller everything basically happens in a distinct flow path - no management of processes holding things back to allow others to perform better. But the arduino are somewhat slow compared the micro-computer alternatives, and I have faced the fact that even though you can get a more powerful Arduino some of the other features of the BBB are interesting.
Most interesting is the comment I saw that the BBB actually has 2x microcontrollers built in... is this the best of both worlds... there must be a catch? And I guess that catch is I can't find any information on how one would "unlock" these microcontrollers to do you bidding.
So can anyone with some knowledge of the BBB tell me a bit more information about it and how to use it both as a minicomputer and a microcontroller?
Cheers
