There was one choice I had to make during my final year as an engineering student. Choose a thesis that would allow me to transition into grad school, or choose something that would allow me to try my hand at something that was out of my comfort zone. I took the latter choice, and embarked on the journey of designing a system which would allow for me to make a whole audio system to interface with the Beaglebone Black.

The Goal:

Build an open-source Hardware shield for the beaglebone black that would allow high quality Video/Audio recording.
Build an open-source Software Library to support the use of the Audio Video Shield

The task is daunting considering my lack of experience in analog design.

Hobey Ho. Let the fun begin
