About the Bela platform
The Bela platform, as well, is based on the BeagleBone and was developed by the Augmented Instruments Laboratory of the Queen Mary University of London. Bela has similar goals, but especially focuses on low-latency and connectivity for external peripherals (e.g. analog sensors). For example Bela offers block sizes of up to two samples, resulting in a latency <1 ms. Furthermore Bela offers a complete Web IDE, including a scope, several ways of programming (e.g. C/C++, Pure Data, Supercollider) and easy plug-and-play support, resulting in an ideal platform for makers and instrument builders. Bela supports stereo audio, 8 analog IOs and 16 digital IOs.
