Automatically Start Obstacle Detection System on BeagleBone Black at Boot

still based on myquestion on developing an obstacle detection system using a BeagleBone Black running Embedded Linux using HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor to measure distances and displays the measurements on a 16x2 LCD screen, how do i ensure my obstacle detection system starts automatically when the BeagleBone Black boots up
Solution
To start your obstacle detection system automatically on BeagleBone Black boot-up:

  1. Create a systemd service file (obstacle_detection.service) in /etc/systemd/system/
  2. Enable the service: sudo systemctl enable obstacle_detection.service
  3. Start the service: sudo systemctl start obstacle_detection.service
This will ensure your system starts automatically on boot.
