**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Aug 07 02:59:58 2013
Aug 07 08:15:09 <vmayoral> good morning
Aug 07 08:54:00 <koen> vmayoral: good morning
Aug 07 08:54:09 <koen> vmayoral: I see you went wild with the distance sensors :)
Aug 07 08:58:00 <vmayoral> koen: hehe, just trying to do a good job
Aug 07 09:01:31 <vmayoral> koen: btw, i did try the different options you suggested regarding Issue #134 (https://github.com/bmwcarit/meta-ros/issues/134) however it doesn't seem to work either
Aug 07 09:02:51 <vmayoral> koen: would you mind to take a quick look to make sure i didn't misunderstood something?
Aug 07 09:03:20 <koen> I had a look this morning and it looks OK to me
Aug 07 09:06:47 <vmayoral> ok, thanks :), i'll keep making tests then
Aug 07 09:16:59 <koen> vmayoral: a long shot, but can try:
Aug 07 09:17:00 <koen> route add -net 239.0.0.0/8 eth0
Aug 07 09:17:09 <koen> that enables multicast stuff
Aug 07 10:12:06 <vmayoral> koen: thanks for the suggestion, still nothing
Aug 07 14:10:37 <koen> vmayoral: watching the videos now
Aug 07 14:46:08 <vmayoral> koen: good! waiting for feedback. Definitely the audiovisual stuff is not my thing :). Glad that i took the engineering path
Aug 07 15:28:49 <prpplague> jkridner: you get the accelerometer working?
Aug 07 15:29:01 <jkridner> seems like it...
Aug 07 15:29:11 <jkridner> doesn't reply to a scan, but I seem to be getting values.
Aug 07 15:29:18 <jkridner> testing if they are reasonable.
Aug 07 15:29:31 <ZubairLK> gm
Aug 07 15:29:40 <jkridner> http://beagleboard.org/support/BoneScript/processingjs/ is a fun little bacon cape demo
Aug 07 15:30:36 <prpplague> jkridner: a BS scan? or with i2cdetect?
Aug 07 15:31:25 <jkridner> BS
Aug 07 15:31:41 <prpplague> jkridner: ok, well i2cdetect works with no issues
Aug 07 15:32:57 <jkridner> https://gist.github.com/anonymous/ad40ffb11b1f029e0bb0
Aug 07 15:36:03 <prpplague> jkridner: i2cdetect -y -a -q 2
Aug 07 15:36:05 <prpplague> iirc
Aug 07 15:36:44 <prpplague> jkridner: never can remember if it is -q or -r
Aug 07 15:37:29 <jkridner> it is -4
Aug 07 15:37:31 <jkridner> it is -r
Aug 07 15:37:40 <jkridner> yeah, that doesn't detect it.
Aug 07 15:38:35 <prpplague> i2cdetect -y -a -r 1
Aug 07 15:38:39 <prpplague> that does
Aug 07 15:39:11 <prpplague> http://pastebin.com/YsibB7vD
Aug 07 15:44:19 <prpplague> jkridner: working with that?
Aug 07 15:44:25 <jkridner> yes
Aug 07 15:44:35 * jkridner is still confused by the port numbering
Aug 07 15:44:45 <prpplague> i should have caught the 2 instead of 1 but i haven't had enough coffee
Aug 07 15:45:21 <prpplague> you can always use i2cdetect -L to list what i2c ports are available
Aug 07 15:49:15 * prpplague wonders if he has time to go get coffee before the meeting
Aug 07 15:49:41 <jkridner> hmmm... seems I'm not reading the right device as the values aren't changing.
Aug 07 15:49:51 <jkridner> I thought I saw them changing earlier.
Aug 07 15:50:00 <prpplague> jkridner: you have to enable the reading
Aug 07 15:50:10 <prpplague> jkridner: look at the diff i sent
Aug 07 15:50:19 <prpplague> jkridner: that is pretty straight forward setup
Aug 07 15:50:53 * prpplague decides to go get coffee, bbiaf
Aug 07 15:54:35 <jkridner> 5 minute warning
Aug 07 15:54:54 <beng-nl> [x]
Aug 07 15:58:29 <vvu> helloWorld.c !
Aug 07 16:00:08 <anujdeshpande> hello !
Aug 07 16:00:20 <ZubairLK> :)
Aug 07 16:00:29 <ZubairLK> GM folks
Aug 07 16:00:34 <tcort> hello
Aug 07 16:00:42 <ZubairLK> hope everyone cleared the evaluation smoothly :)
Aug 07 16:00:58 <anujdeshpande> indeed
Aug 07 16:01:02 <_av500_> hiho
Aug 07 16:02:27 <jkridner> gm all
Aug 07 16:02:48 <jkridner> I just realized I didn't send out the transcript from last week. :(
Aug 07 16:02:51 <bradfa> gm jkridner
Aug 07 16:02:54 <beng-nl> gm
Aug 07 16:03:19 <jkridner> evals went smoothly, but we seem to have an issue with progress reports now.
Aug 07 16:03:35 <vvu> jkridner: i`m right now writing week #7
Aug 07 16:03:37 <hatguy> good morning :)
Aug 07 16:03:47 <ZubairLK> progress report == blog posts?
Aug 07 16:04:02 <vvu> i`m always with an offset of 2 days
Aug 07 16:04:10 <jkridner> thank you tcort and ZubairLK for your reports. I also feel pretty well updated from anujdeshpande and hatguy on their project.
Aug 07 16:04:24 * hatguy is trying to make a habit of blogging every time he makes some progress (or not)
Aug 07 16:04:27 <eFfeM> hi, sorry for being late
Aug 07 16:04:31 <panto> mluckham, did you pinged me lately?
Aug 07 16:04:35 <jkridner> I've seen some updates from vmayoral on Beagle-ROS as well...
Aug 07 16:04:39 <jkridner> thanks for the new video.
Aug 07 16:05:25 <jkridner> anyway, it is really appreciated if the blog posts make it clear where you are in your project vs. the goals stated at the beginning.
Aug 07 16:05:40 <anujdeshpande> point noted.
Aug 07 16:05:45 <vmayoral> all right
Aug 07 16:05:45 <jkridner> tcort: I guess you saw the e-mail thread about the weather cape?
Aug 07 16:05:48 <hatguy> yepp makes sense
Aug 07 16:06:13 <tcort> jkridner: yes. thanks for working on ordering that.
Aug 07 16:06:29 <jkridner> will that be enough or do I need to try to work the other components?
Aug 07 16:06:39 <tcort> that will be enough
Aug 07 16:06:55 <jkridner> seems your code is being upstreamed well and you are progressing on schedule with very timely updates. Thank you!!!
Aug 07 16:07:14 <tcort> :)
Aug 07 16:07:15 <vmayoral> jkridner: i'm still missing the Audio cape and i already postponed it two weeks. So Koen and I agreed on using other sensors. It's a slight change on the initial plan but i think it makes sense. Is it ok with you?
Aug 07 16:07:20 <beng-nl> minix is very happy with it too :-)
Aug 07 16:07:28 <jkridner> ZubairLK: really appreciate the patches going upstream and seeing the fixes going into the currently released kernel as well.
Aug 07 16:07:28 <ZubairLK> jkridner: consulted with greg. slightly drifted towards focusing on upstreaming more.. original proposal had a few tidbits here n there. main work is ok.
Aug 07 16:07:40 <beng-nl> jkridner: i've been reproducing tcort's work from mainline with success fwiw
Aug 07 16:07:53 <ZubairLK> jkridner: thank-you jkridner . There was another fix upstream in mfd. :)
Aug 07 16:08:09 <ZubairLK> upstreamed*
Aug 07 16:08:10 <beng-nl> (minix mainline ofcourse)
Aug 07 16:08:15 <jkridner> vmayoral: sounds fine. I'll check to see if I have your address and will order via boardzoo.
Aug 07 16:11:27 <jkridner> just completed the action now so it wasn't lingering...
Aug 07 16:11:44 <jkridner> prpplague: There are boardzoo orders.
Aug 07 16:12:20 <jkridner> _av500_: have you had a chance to reproduce vvu's work?
Aug 07 16:12:58 <prpplague> jkridner: for what?
Aug 07 16:13:20 <jkridner> weather cape for tcort and audio cape for vmayoral.
Aug 07 16:13:55 <_av500_> jkridner: was away for 3 weeks
Aug 07 16:14:02 <_av500_> will do now
Aug 07 16:14:14 <prpplague> jkridner: forward the order info to bob@circuitco.com
Aug 07 16:14:19 <prpplague> jkridner: he can follow up on it
Aug 07 16:14:24 <jkridner> k
Aug 07 16:14:45 <jkridner> thanks _av500_
Aug 07 16:15:07 <jkridner> prpplague, hatguy, anujdeshpande: any concerns or updates?
Aug 07 16:15:25 <prpplague> jkridner: not on my part
Aug 07 16:15:44 <hatguy> jkridner: none really...
Aug 07 16:15:48 <prpplague> jkridner: hatguy and anujdeshpande have been working hard for the last two weeks with code clean, error checking, and documentation
Aug 07 16:15:55 <anujdeshpande> jkridner: ditto
Aug 07 16:16:03 <prpplague> jkridner: we plan to start coding again with additional features starting a week from today
Aug 07 16:16:41 <prpplague> jkridner: i am being paged to the production floor with a production stoppage, bbiab
Aug 07 16:18:12 <jkridner> jj2baile: are you able to do some work in the near-term? are the development plans reasonable for you to complete before the final evaluations?
Aug 07 16:18:13 <anujdeshpande> jkridner: we are also thinking of ways in which we could make our work on all operating systems. bradfa has some ideas tht we are debating. that'll materialize into something in a few days, too beta now.
Aug 07 16:19:55 <jj2baile> jj2baile: Not immediately, after the weekend, probably.
Aug 07 16:19:58 <jkridner> would it help if you could pipe entries to capemgr rather than having them load from /lib/firmware?
Aug 07 16:20:04 <jj2baile> jkridner: ^
Aug 07 16:20:09 <jkridner> jj2baile: k
Aug 07 16:20:14 <jj2baile> jkridner: I feel  plans are still reasonable
Aug 07 16:21:20 <jkridner> anujdeshpande, hatguy: is part of the cross-operating-systems issue having all of the required .dtbo files?
Aug 07 16:22:20 <hatguy> jkridner: : no no... its about supporting the ide in linux, windows and mac os... We don't really like the idea of multiple cross-compilers
Aug 07 16:22:29 <jkridner> ah.
Aug 07 16:22:53 <hatguy> jkridner: we were thinking about native compiling
Aug 07 16:23:03 <anujdeshpande> jkridner: bradfa had an idea in which we send the code for compilation to the BBB itself. so we are kind of thinking on those lines
Aug 07 16:23:14 <jkridner> hatguy: I think that'd be great, if there was some way to trigger it.
Aug 07 16:23:41 <jkridner> I like it. Would eventually need to work with included modules as well.... at least to have a process.
Aug 07 16:23:58 <hatguy> jkridner: native compiling wouldn't be that difficult... I think copying the libraries would be
Aug 07 16:24:14 <jkridner> if there was a step to install modules on the boards, it seems reasonable.
Aug 07 16:24:36 <anujdeshpande> jkridner: tht could be done via ssh really ..
Aug 07 16:24:42 <jkridner> I don't really have any other questions. Thank you all for the ping. What else do you need from me?
Aug 07 16:25:02 <_av500_> beer
Aug 07 16:25:13 <anujdeshpande> +1 to thaat
Aug 07 16:25:33 <ZubairLK> free goodies :p
Aug 07 16:25:53 <vmayoral> :)
Aug 07 16:26:46 * jkridner would gladly buy any one of you a beer if you were in the Michigan area.
Aug 07 16:27:11 <vmayoral> koen: i have the GP2Y0A21YK0F
Aug 07 16:27:12 <vmayoral> already working
Aug 07 16:27:12 <anujdeshpande> in that case plane tickets too :) !
Aug 07 16:27:12 * jkridner picked up some Melange socks to send out to the students at the end.
Aug 07 16:27:25 <jkridner> :-)
Aug 07 16:27:30 <ZubairLK> http://www.roundtopinn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/beer.jpg
Aug 07 16:27:59 <vmayoral> i've got some other sensors with me so i'll start with them.
Aug 07 16:28:35 <vmayoral> Has anybody any kind of preferences regarding sensors to be interfaced with the BB through ROS?
Aug 07 16:29:06 <vmayoral> I recently ordered some and i have pressure, gas, ambient light,
Aug 07 16:29:26 <ZubairLK> accel/gyro?
Aug 07 16:29:34 <anujdeshpande> vmayoral: ^^
Aug 07 16:29:34 <vmayoral> already interfaced
Aug 07 16:29:38 <ZubairLK> nice
Aug 07 16:29:59 <_av500_> beer sensor?
Aug 07 16:30:03 <vmayoral> haha
Aug 07 16:30:06 <ZubairLK> ultrasound?
Aug 07 16:30:12 <ZubairLK> something for range measurement..
Aug 07 16:30:23 <vmayoral> koen requested that one
Aug 07 16:30:26 <vmayoral> just finished it
Aug 07 16:30:34 <ZubairLK> *feels wise :p*
Aug 07 16:30:42 <hatguy> vmayoral: a compass?
Aug 07 16:30:43 <Ceriand> vmayoral: quadrature encoder
Aug 07 16:30:47 <hatguy> +1
Aug 07 16:30:54 <jkridner> k, I'll try to get meeting minutes out this time!
Aug 07 16:31:00 <vmayoral> i've also got GPS and GPRS modules
Aug 07 16:31:13 <hatguy> vmayoral: quadrature encoder would be awesome!
Aug 07 16:31:14 <ZubairLK> vmayoral: +1. nice work.
Aug 07 16:31:46 <Ceriand> or one of those hall-effect rotation sensors
Aug 07 16:31:53 <anujdeshpande> +1 to quad
Aug 07 16:32:23 <vmayoral> yeap the quadrature encoder might be nice but unfortunately i don't have it and i'm afraid about the delays of ordering something
Aug 07 16:32:47 <vmayoral> maybe i can simulate it with something that i have with myself...
Aug 07 16:32:50 <vmayoral> need to think about it
Aug 07 16:33:00 <Ceriand> vmayoral: hall-effect rotation: http://www.melexis.com/Hall-Effect-Sensor-ICs/Triaxis%C2%AE-Hall-ICs/MLX90316-566.aspx
Aug 07 16:33:20 <hatguy> vmayoral:  they might prove to be expensive if you buy one urself... try searching your local uni for one
Aug 07 16:35:31 <ds2> hmm
Aug 07 16:36:53 <vmayoral> thanks for the suggestions :), the MLX90316 evaluation board is affordable so i'll try to get it
Aug 07 16:38:02 <ds2> is the MLX90316 the 4x16 one?
Aug 07 16:40:32 <vmayoral> mmm not sure, I just did a fast search after Ceriand's suggestion
Aug 07 16:43:46 <ZubairLK> meeting over?
Aug 07 16:44:15 <_av500_> irc is never over
Aug 07 16:45:50 <anujdeshpande> hear hear
Aug 07 16:59:28 <koen> I missed the meeting again, didn't I?
Aug 07 16:59:32 * koen headdesks
Aug 07 17:00:08 <_av500_> maybe less drooling over black anodised stuff
Aug 07 17:02:43 <ZubairLK> if it helps, we all missed your presence very much :)
Aug 07 17:03:31 <koen> vmayoral: I'll try to get some ros stuff done this week so I can duplicate your stuff
Aug 07 17:04:03 <vmayoral> koen: great :)
Aug 07 17:15:54 <ds2> \\
