Jul 07 12:29:25 <bradfa> hi chanakya_vc
Jul 07 12:30:02 <chanakya_vc> Good morning bradfa !
Jul 07 12:30:15 <chanakya_vc> Okay are you free right now?
Jul 07 12:31:15 <bradfa> yes
Jul 07 12:32:48 <chanakya_vc> Two problems as of now. First the module. When I am insmoding  it , no problem happens. But I think a device should show up in/proc/devices right?
Jul 07 12:33:18 <chanakya_vc> bradfa, iirc that's where the devices show up.
Jul 07 12:34:47 <bradfa> chanakya_vc: I'm not sure, one sec
Jul 07 12:35:09 <chanakya_vc> I read that online, but this file doesn't seem to exist.
Jul 07 12:35:20 <chanakya_vc> there is no /proc/devices
Jul 07 12:35:39 <bradfa> chanakya_vc: my bbb has a /proc/devices...
Jul 07 12:38:47 <bradfa> chanakya_vc: one sec, let me setup and build your module again and see what happens when insmodding
Jul 07 12:47:52 <bradfa> chanakya_vc: it shows up for me in /proc/devices: http://pastebin.com/iajgFBEy
Jul 07 12:49:52 <chanakya_vc> No even I got it bradfa .It is there.
Jul 07 12:50:26 <chanakya_vc> Okay so now how do I write a value to it? I mean do I need to write an api for it?
Jul 07 12:51:56 <bradfa> chanakya_vc: you need a device node to show up in /dev/ directory then you can open() and read()/write() it
Jul 07 12:52:48 <chanakya_vc> Okay so use mknod for it?
Jul 07 12:52:58 <bradfa> chanakya_vc: you should be able to read and write /dev/spi_pru_device as that node appears for me
Jul 07 12:53:47 <bradfa> chanakya_vc: when I try to read from the char device, I get an oops
Jul 07 12:53:47 <chanakya_vc> so bradfa, how to actually write it? echo something to it?
Jul 07 12:53:51 <bradfa> chanakya_vc: yep
Jul 07 12:53:57 <bradfa> that's one way
Jul 07 12:54:07 <chanakya_vc> read won't work, try write
Jul 07 12:54:12 <bradfa> cat and echo can be basic tools for doing that
Jul 07 12:54:39 <bradfa> chanakya_vc: I have to run to a meeting now, but I'll be back in a hour or two
Jul 07 12:54:56 <bradfa> chanakya_vc: try debugging why doing "cat /dev/spi_pru_device" causes an oops
Jul 07 12:55:08 <chanakya_vc> Okay bradfa,I will ask you all the other doubts later!
Jul 07 13:10:43 <chanakya_vc>  hey alexhiam are you there?
Jul 07 13:35:02 <alexhiam> chanakya_vc: somewhat
Jul 07 13:35:11 <chanakya_vc> :P
Jul 07 13:35:23 <chanakya_vc> Good morning alexhiam
Jul 07 13:35:40 <chanakya_vc> are you free?
Jul 07 14:06:13 <gcl-bot> [alexanderhiam] chanakya_vc: more or less, what's up?
Jul 07 14:08:28 <chanakya_vc> alexhiam,Well I was wondering if you could maybe test the driver I have written.
Jul 07 14:10:57 <gcl-bot> [alexanderhiam] Ah, that I can't do until tomorrow, traveling today
Jul 07 14:13:25 <chanakya_vc> Okay no problem. But this bot thing looks so cool :P
Jul 07 14:13:32 <chanakya_vc> alexhiam ^^
Jul 07 14:14:32 <gcl-bot> [alexanderhiam] which thing?
Jul 07 14:15:15 <chanakya_vc> Arre nothing just that you have logged in via the bot and not talking by your nickname
Jul 07 14:15:24 <chanakya_vc> alexhiam ^^
Jul 07 14:16:11 <gcl-bot> [alexanderhiam] oh yeah, I'm in the gitter channel
Jul 07 14:16:15 <gcl-bot> [alexanderhiam] https://gitter.im/beagleboard/beagle-gsoc
Jul 07 14:16:33 <gcl-bot> [alexanderhiam] easier to use on my phone
Jul 07 14:20:45 <chanakya_vc> Okay so the gcl bot basically logs everything to this gitter channel?
Jul 07 14:20:54 <chanakya_vc> alexhiam ^^
Jul 07 14:21:23 <chanakya_vc> And which irc client do you run on your phone?
Jul 07 14:21:44 <chanakya_vc> to use the bot?
Jul 07 14:24:57 <gcl-bot> [alexanderhiam] the bot runs on a vps and mirrors both ways, I just mean it's easier to use the gitter client than an irc client on my phone
Jul 07 14:27:46 <chanakya_vc> Ohh,so if I were to download this client on my phone ,even I could use it right,provided I had administrative privileges? Or it is open to everyone?
Jul 07 14:27:55 <chanakya_vc> alexhiam ^^
Jul 07 14:32:05 <chanakya_vc> I would love to work on this once GSOC gets over . It seems very interesting alexhiam
Jul 07 14:35:45 * chanakya_vc goes afk. Will be back in around two hours
Jul 07 14:38:24 <gcl-bot> [alexanderhiam] yeah, the gitter channel is public
Jul 07 17:27:33 <chanakya_vc> hey bradfa ,are you free?
Jul 07 19:16:58 <nerdboy> okay, looks like the rtimulib thing works fine on beaglebone
Jul 07 19:17:24 * nerdboy adding readme updates to that effect
Jul 07 19:18:16 <nerdboy> i'm calling it Good as far as green/grove imu board
Jul 07 19:32:32 <nerdboy> and just for posterity, i'm using gedit w/plugins
Jul 08 01:29:32 <nerdboy> okay, this and the top-level readme docs are updated for beaglebone: https://github.com/VCTLabs/RTIMULib2/blob/master/Linux/README.md
Jul 08 01:30:05 <nerdboy> this thing calibrated my grove imu, so...
Jul 08 01:30:27 * nerdboy did not test the gui apps yet
Jul 08 01:30:58 <nerdboy> just the cal program and the python test scripts
Jul 08 01:32:39 <nerdboy> it would be a lot saner to do the manual calibration with stuff mounted on a rigid project board and connected via wireless
Jul 08 01:33:00 <nerdboy> so of course i didn't do that yet...
Jul 08 01:45:57 <nerdboy> it does not work with the dht sensors but it odes work with the 9250/180 combo
Jul 08 01:46:03 <nerdboy> *does even
Jul 08 01:46:25 <nerdboy> yay for forks of other github forks...
