Beagle or Rasberry Pi

[Brown, David (Test Dept)]

Tom/Don…any knowledge of the GPIO and how it might be used. I’d kind of like to do more than just have a little computer to program on…

…have either of you used the General Purpose I/O pins? Are they just off/on at some low voltage? How do you set them on/off using scripts or programs you write on the board?  Can you use a set of 8/16/32 of them to represent larger words of digital I/O? 

Have you done anything cool with yours Tom? Is it a Pi or a Beagleboard?

I'm kind of interested in playing with one of these.
Which one should I get? A Rasberry Pi - or a Beaglebone Black?
I know Tom and Don and Jason might have some input.
Look at the Rasberry Pi Ultimate kit on Amazon.com and let me know what you think.
