SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Get started with the ASUS Tinker Board and begin building and expanding your own projects. This book covers the basic operating systems offered by ASUS for the Tinker Board, TinkerOS and Android, and then dives deeper into its capabilities for projects; such as a music streamer or a weather station with internet connectivity. Beginners will find the resources necessary to follow along and more seasoned makers can review additional information to engage with this new single-board computer platform. The projects are broad enough to show off the capability of the Tinker Board's hardware and they can be used as is or you can add to them based on your skill level.
