DavidCrow wrote: How do the beagle boards compare to arduino and raspberry pi?
He looked at those (and many others!) and my client chose the Beaglebone because of the number of GPA/I2C/SPIO options, but then he ended up adding an extra GPIO chip on it as well. He's also powering them through the Ethernet port, though not sure if that has any bearing on anything.
I guess it was primarily because Derek Malloy[^] has a great book and tons of resources, but I ended up borrowing a bunch of code originally written for the rPI.
That said, he's looking at rev 2, which will probably be an rPI or Arduino.
So, short answer is "no good reason." 
From a historical perspective, he originally had the idea that everything would be coded in C, but there are so many examples and libraries in Python, that when I did the development, I ended up using Python. It's a little annoying that the source is all "in the open", but we've changed all the system passwords, closed down all the ports we don't use, and when I do a software upload, I use a password encrypted zip file.

60 BeagleBones ...  wow !
Perhaps it's better I don't know ... and ... I'm a little afraid to ask ... but, what type of of club in Tijuana will this be ? If you tell me, I promised I won't tell anyone else.

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.
So...where the heck am I?

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
