It's not possible to group all the capes in distinct categories, as some of them
are conceptual. Anyway, to give you an idea, these capes mostly propose the
following features:
• Wi-Fi
• Audio
• Power (PowerBar and the Power Supply cape are useful for autonomous
projects)
• Displays ( mini displays , LCD3 , LCD4 , and LCD7 )
• An extension board with a display ( 4D capes )
For the others/miscellaneous category:
Crypto cape : A very interesting cape that you can use to add serious security
measures to your server or your applications. According to the author:
This cape will offload the CPU for cryptographic operations (usefully
for a networked device that makes heavy use of VPN/TLS/SSL).
It can also be used to enhance the security of an existing project
with hardware RSA, ECC, SHA-2, a RTC, additional EEPROM
• Prototyping (breadboards, protoboard ).
• "All in one," which includes different functionalities, sensors or actuator drivers
such as the GVS cape (GVS stands for Ground, Voltage, and Signal ).
• Robotic and I/O ( Robocape , industrial I/O cape ).
• ADC, PWM, Analog, dual relays, smart relays.
• Interfacing capes (for Arduino shield, mikroBUS).
No matter what you choose, before considering a cape you must look for the BB
Black Compatible logo, as shown here:
This guarantees that the cape you buy will work with your board.
