data from the ECU of the vehicle.This data can then be stored and displayed on a screen. The CAN-BUS shield is 101.6mm long,6.35mm tall, and 101.6mm wide as shown in Figure 4. The shield features CAN V2.0B up to1Mb/s. It uses the Microchip MCP2515 CAN controller and the MCP 2551 transceiver. Astandard 9-way sub-D, used with an OBD-II cable, enables the CAN connection. The shield hasa micro-SD card holder, a serial LCD connector, and a connector for an EM506 GPS module. Ithas a high speed SPI Interface of 10MHz On the shield, there is a reset button, joystick menunavigation control, and two LED indicators. Power can be supplied to Arduino by the sub-D viaa resettable fuse and reverse polarity protection [4].2.4 Triple-Axis Accelerometer

possiblethat the unconventional operating system could expose a SCADA system to undocumentedvulnerabilities and exploits. The PanelView HMI is configured with the FactoryTalk View Studiosoftware and has SCADA features configured for data acquisition and control of an Allen BradleyMicrologix 1000 PLC through an RS-232 serial connection. The communications configurationfor this HMI application is unique because it allows for assessments of a SCADA system wherethe PLC is wired through a serial connection opposed to Ethernet.Summary of Student InvolvementThis project started with the announcement of Enhancing Undergraduate Research Experiences &Creative Activities (EURECA)’s Faculty and Student Team (FAST) project/grant announcementswhere

withthe BeagleBone is that there is no one depository of knowledge, and in that regard, it mirrors thatof the Raspberry Pi. The student had to look at the boot-up configuration files, research the alsa-sound libraries and then had to merge this information with their own application.The hardware implementation is fairly simple, using a pair of Logitech S-150 speakers, just plugthis into the USB port on the BeagleBone (see Figure 5). The student then chose to modify theuEnv.txt (boot-up) configuration file to disable the HDMI interface and enable the USBspeakers. Figure 5 – BeagleBone to Logitech Speakers [7,8]The software application that the student wrote used alsa-utilities (alsamixer and aplay) to setthe volume and begin
