Completed a subject today :) Apr 15 16:48:54 Anyways .. are there any questions regarding the beagle-scope proposal ? Apr 15 16:49:35 and .. ah can anyone suggest a way to handle such high curiosity levels regarding the result ;) ? Apr 15 16:52:57 yeah .. apart from listening a music .. :) Apr 15 16:55:04 https://github.com/sarnold/Hexapod <= imported just for sh*ts'n grins Apr 15 16:55:37 hi, ZeekHuge I want to already start work on the project :) Apr 15 16:56:48 only one week :( Apr 15 17:37:13 hey ZeekHuge , pmezydlo ,How are you guys? Apr 15 17:38:56 pmezydlo: Exams :( They are preventing me from doing a lot of things. Apr 15 17:39:10 Hey chanakya_vc :) Fine here, how about you ? Apr 15 17:39:45 ZeekHuge, Just nervous about the results. ;) Apr 15 17:40:35 me - curious. Apr 15 17:55:34 ZeekHuge, Ohh :) . Mine are from 16 May.So have some time for it. Apr 15 17:56:08 ZeekHuge, Anyway check this out :http://n-o-d-e.net/post/141489192021/how-to-create-a-handheld-linux-terminal-v2 Apr 15 17:57:03 why not use a rooted smartphone ? Apr 15 17:57:08 alexhiam, ZeekHuge Could you this could be done with the BBB?Looks really cool though ! Apr 15 17:57:25 ofc this can be done. Apr 15 17:57:59 ZeekHuge,But could a smartphone provide all the functionalities? Apr 15 17:58:10 but again, why not use a rooted smartphone ? or an old one and install ubuntu onto it. Apr 15 17:59:04 not sure, but i think yes. Android is basically linux kernel, with Dalvik runtime over it. Apr 15 18:00:56 and with that, you'll need no external peripherals. you have everything connected battery, screen, wifi, bt proximity sensors, gsm modules and everything all connected in a beautiful case. Apr 15 18:00:58 But I don't think that you could interface a smartphone with sensors?Like using I2C or SPI? Apr 15 18:02:10 not using a wired connection, but you can use a simple mcu and bt to do that. Apr 15 18:02:20 bt = bluetooth Apr 15 18:05:03 basically depends on why you want it for. If you just want to go around and hack others wifi ;) .. smartphone is the best option. If you want to interface different sensors on your desk, you can use BBB and then it wont be called "handheld" Apr 15 18:05:41 chanakya_vc: ^^ Apr 15 18:06:06 Zeekhuge,Are you sure that Ubuntu for smartphones would be the best choice.I mean I did read about Canonical launching it.But I don't know about how good it is. Apr 15 18:07:09 well, you wont be able to use the android apps over it. like whatsapp, hike and many more. but it would be a "handheld linux computer". Apr 15 18:08:23 BBB would give stuff like sd card reader and other stuff as well.And we could use the PRU to the fullest extent on it. Apr 15 18:08:49 I haven't actually tried. I bought my friend's dead smartphone to test on it. But couldn't get time for that. So.. all at your own risk :P ;) Apr 15 18:09:39 maybe, depends why you need it for. But that things you gave link of, is definitely possible on BBB. Apr 15 18:11:05 Well even if I am going to try it,it would be in the TI lab. :)Actually some of my seniors are working on a portable function generator and oscilloscope.But for the ocilloscope you need a laptop. Apr 15 18:12:20 :) That one is on me ! Tell them to wait till 22nd. If beagleScope gets selected, tell them to wait for other 3 months and they will have what they need :D ;) Apr 15 18:12:27 Like both together in a portable form that you can carry anywhere and test circuits. I was wondering a linux handheld computer could possibly eliminate the need for a laptop as well. Apr 15 18:13:21 Okay will do that. :) Apr 15 18:16:50 Zeekhuge,Even if I want to install Ubuntu on a smartphone,the regular image would work right?Or something else? Apr 15 18:17:12 chanakya_vc: maybe use an Android phone for the oscilloscope? it's possible to make a cheap-ass oscilloscope by connecting some probes to the audio jack and use an app to display the data Apr 15 18:17:27 I don't think so .. Apr 15 18:17:35 udayansinha: Great idea ! Apr 15 18:17:47 don't expect state-of-the-art quality though...it's a typical weekend project :P Apr 15 18:18:06 the audio jack has an ADC attached to it...can be used for dirty hacks liek this Apr 15 18:18:07 *like Apr 15 18:18:08 yes ! the 3.5 mm jack is basically an ADC Apr 15 18:18:09 Yes that's How we do things when we don't want sampling rate to be pretty high. Apr 15 18:19:31 I mean the sampling rate is pretty low in that case. Apr 15 18:20:18 yeah...but it's nice for small and slow stuff....weekend project like I said :) Apr 15 18:25:07 Yes.But there are some other problems I believe about noise also.Though I am not sure.And I believe you couldn't use the X-Y mode. Apr 15 18:25:15 But as you said it is cheap Apr 15 18:25:35 and a good weekend project. Apr 15 18:26:01 super-cheap....just a few circuit components to scale the voltage I imagine Apr 15 19:30:31 try debian-kit on android Apr 15 19:30:44 it's installable from the app store Apr 15 19:40:06 it would need root powers I guess ? Apr 15 19:50:50 i think root is optional Apr 15 19:51:28 it's not a chroot, it actually runs in the same env as android Apr 15 19:51:52 you can fire up ssh server and x apps Apr 15 19:52:25 read the doc... Apr 15 19:52:54 haven't messed with since i switched phones to cm11 Apr 15 19:53:08 *messed with debian-kit **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Apr 16 02:59:58 2016
