Feb 05 03:00:21 <arthurnn> i have installed in my SD from here: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/
Feb 05 03:01:56 <arthurnn> acutally i got from here: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beaglebone/
Feb 05 03:02:23 <arthurnn> what i did was just this: (to install) xz -dkc Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-eglibc-ipk-v2011.10-core-beaglebone-r0.img.xz > /dev/sdX
Feb 05 03:05:46 <thurbad> the instructions seem a little weird to me for building the pwn module
Feb 05 03:06:00 <thurbad> he's using oe, but calling make?
Feb 05 03:06:13 <arthurnn> yep
Feb 05 03:06:18 <arthurnn> isnt that right?
Feb 05 03:07:23 <thurbad> I'm used to calling bitbake with angstrom's oe stuff
Feb 05 03:07:34 <arthurnn> i see.
Feb 05 03:07:37 <arthurnn> do u have a beaglebone?
Feb 05 03:07:42 <arthurnn> and did u make the PWM work?
Feb 05 03:07:55 <thurbad> no, just beagleboards
Feb 05 03:07:58 <arthurnn> i see.
Feb 05 03:08:03 <arthurnn> but PWM is working?
Feb 05 03:08:20 <arthurnn> i thought that when u install angstrom it cames with the PWM driver already!
Feb 05 03:08:26 <thurbad> never really looked into it
Feb 05 03:08:50 <arthurnn> i see! do u use the beagleboard for what?
Feb 05 03:09:02 <TheAlphaNerd> heyo… does anyone have experience with the angstrom distribution on the beagle xm?
Feb 05 03:10:13 <arthurnn> not me! sorry i am using angstroom in a beaglebone!
Feb 05 03:10:18 <arthurnn> but what is your question?
Feb 05 03:10:23 <thurbad> app prototyping mostly
Feb 05 03:10:59 <arthurnn> i have a *kind of* stupid question about PWM.
Feb 05 03:11:07 <arthurnn> how can I test a PWM with a multimeter ?
Feb 05 03:11:17 <arthurnn> it should send pulses of 3.3 v ?
Feb 05 03:11:19 <arthurnn> thats it?
Feb 05 03:20:21 <TheAlphaNerd> your meter should read a hovering voltage relative to your output
Feb 05 03:20:32 <TheAlphaNerd> so if you output full pwm you should see full voltage
Feb 05 03:20:38 <TheAlphaNerd> half pwm you should see half voltage
Feb 05 03:20:50 <TheAlphaNerd> on a oscilliscope you would be able to see the actualy pulse's
Feb 05 03:21:34 <TheAlphaNerd> arthurnn: I was just curious if you found it a good distro for working with the beagle… I played around with a pre-built ubuntu, and didn't feel at home.  Finishing up a fresh roll of debian, but it feels really hacky, and the documentation sucks
Feb 05 03:24:21 <arthurnn> what a sec.
Feb 05 03:24:25 <arthurnn> wait a sec.
Feb 05 03:24:46 <TheAlphaNerd> all good take your time
Feb 05 03:24:50 <arthurnn> lol
Feb 05 03:24:55 <arthurnn> sorry about that.
Feb 05 03:25:01 <arthurnn> was trying to digest all that info
Feb 05 03:25:10 <TheAlphaNerd> have you used pwm before?
Feb 05 03:25:13 <arthurnn> anyways! have u made PWM work
Feb 05 03:25:15 <arthurnn> nop
Feb 05 03:25:26 <TheAlphaNerd> I have only done pwm with an arduino
Feb 05 03:25:38 <arthurnn> i am just a software developer trying to understand that electronic things! 
Feb 05 03:25:40 <arthurnn> i see.
Feb 05 03:25:46 <TheAlphaNerd> hold on
Feb 05 03:26:00 <TheAlphaNerd> http://arduino.cc/it/Tutorial/PWM
Feb 05 03:26:02 <arthurnn> thats the think in arduino u just write the code writeAnalog and it is done right?
Feb 05 03:26:06 <TheAlphaNerd> this is actually a really good example of pwm
Feb 05 03:26:13 <arthurnn> yep
Feb 05 03:26:15 <TheAlphaNerd> analogWrite()
Feb 05 03:26:17 <arthurnn> thats the think!
Feb 05 03:26:20 <arthurnn> easy pease
Feb 05 03:26:31 <arthurnn> however there is no such think for beaglebone
Feb 05 03:26:40 <arthurnn> it looks like that I have to install a driver
Feb 05 03:26:41 <TheAlphaNerd> well you could plug an arduino into it :P
Feb 05 03:27:01 <arthurnn> yep! thats a way to do it =/
Feb 05 03:27:03 <TheAlphaNerd> there is a pretty sweet python serial library
Feb 05 03:27:14 <arthurnn> for what?
Feb 05 03:27:34 <TheAlphaNerd> well if you had a arduino hooked ot the beagle
Feb 05 03:27:46 <TheAlphaNerd> you could change pwm with a single line of python code in bash
Feb 05 03:27:57 <TheAlphaNerd> python -> serial -> arduino -> pwm
Feb 05 03:28:17 <TheAlphaNerd> although there is probably a way to do pwm right off the board isn't there
Feb 05 03:28:17 <TheAlphaNerd> ?
Feb 05 03:28:22 <arthurnn> uhumm! u mean that there is a python serail library for beaglebone
Feb 05 03:31:23 <TheAlphaNerd> not for the beaglebone
Feb 05 03:31:26 <TheAlphaNerd> just for python
Feb 05 03:31:31 <TheAlphaNerd> that's the joy of linux right
Feb 05 03:31:46 <arthurnn> uhum
Feb 05 03:31:48 <arthurnn> tru
Feb 05 03:32:59 <TheAlphaNerd> http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardPWM
Feb 05 03:33:31 <arthurnn> yep
Feb 05 03:33:36 <arthurnn> thats what i am trying to install
Feb 05 03:33:45 <arthurnn> which i got to here

Feb 05 05:31:07 <dezso> hello all
Feb 05 06:57:24 <snowrichard> hi
Feb 05 07:00:32 <snowrichard> i'm trying a net install of debian on the beagle board

Feb 05 09:32:59 <aholler2> koen: where are you hiding? ;)
Feb 05 09:48:07 <ynezz> it's near Rum stand

Feb 05 10:09:46 <LetoThe2nd> _av500_: where are you running around?
Feb 05 10:10:46 <_av500_> embedded
Feb 05 10:10:55 <LetoThe2nd> funny toy robots?
Feb 05 10:11:55 <_av500_> yep
Feb 05 10:13:07 <LetoThe2nd> wanted to see the presentation about syslog ng upstream, but presenter didn't show up :/
Feb 05 10:13:43 <dm8tbr> *sigh* already on my way back to the hotel
Feb 05 10:13:53 * dm8tbr curses early flight
Feb 05 10:15:04 <LetoThe2nd> guess i'll head over to embedded then too.
Feb 05 10:17:10 <_av500_> dm8tbr: have fun
Feb 05 10:17:43 <dm8tbr> the talk about speeding up linux app startup was i nteresting
Feb 05 10:18:07 <_av500_> how to speed it up?
Feb 05 10:18:17 <_av500_> please explain the exact steps!
Feb 05 10:19:20 <dm8tbr> libraries are read backwards in 128k chunks on x86....
Feb 05 10:19:26 * dm8tbr sends __av500__  the codes
Feb 05 10:20:08 <dm8tbr> fun thing read direction is correct on ARM
Feb 05 10:26:33 <pkim> Hello, everyone, I have a DM3730 hardware problem
Feb 05 10:27:09 <pkim> about MICRON memory mcp
Feb 05 10:28:43 <pkim> form sdcard to memory
Feb 05 10:29:30 <pkim> DMA transfer will generate some bit errors
Feb 05 10:29:59 <pkim> thanks
Feb 05 10:34:12 <_av500_> you are welcome
Feb 05 10:34:56 <pkim> but from nandflash to memory
Feb 05 10:35:12 <pkim> There is no error
Feb 05 10:35:25 <pkim> Very strange
Feb 05 10:37:10 <pkim> I modified memory parameters,always error
Feb 05 10:38:23 <pkim> 70% of the board is good, 30% of the board is bad

Feb 05 11:37:49 <koen> aholler: hacking room in AW
Feb 05 13:12:53 <snowrichard> hi
Feb 05 13:13:35 <snowrichard> i set up internet connection sharing on my laptop to share the 3G connection from my phone and connected that to the router.  I'm on 3G
Feb 05 13:13:55 <snowrichard> the beagle board internet was painfully slow over the satellite
Feb 05 13:20:37 <_av500_> snowrichard: dogs in space is more of a russian thing
Feb 05 13:22:01 * LetoThe2nd starts to sing "space tractor" by the leningrad cowboys
Feb 05 13:25:29 <snowrichard> av500 what does that mean?
Feb 05 13:26:21 <_av500_> it means I am past my 1st beer :)
Feb 05 13:26:52 <snowrichard> well i'm on my cell phone's 3G connection for my whole lan right now
Feb 05 13:27:01 <snowrichard> satellite modem is not connected
Feb 05 13:28:11 <snowrichard> i was only getting 5000 bytes / sec from the beagle board over the satellite
Feb 05 13:29:20 <LetoThe2nd> _av500_: you mean Lameere is past his 1st beer?
Feb 05 13:30:54 <snowrichard> oh beagle on the satellite 
Feb 05 13:30:55 <snowrichard> lol
Feb 05 13:33:59 <lunra> roughly 56k speeds. Not THAT bad
Feb 05 13:34:27 <lunra> in fact faster than a 56k modem link on anything but a perfect line
Feb 05 13:36:13 <snowrichard> it said it would take over a day to finish this net install of debian squeeze at that rate
Feb 05 18:03:36 <jeje> hello
Feb 05 18:04:24 <jeje> do you know, if opencv run on a beaglebone
Feb 05 18:48:31 <snowrichard> hi
Feb 05 18:58:04 <bobby_> hello
Feb 05 18:58:39 <bobby_> Does opencv come preinstalled with angstrom on beagleboard xM?????
Feb 05 18:59:27 <bobby_> heeellllooooooo
Feb 05 18:59:29 * ynezz just discovered hockey-pockey.h, wtf? :D
Feb 05 18:59:46 <bobby_> o.O
Feb 05 18:59:52 <bobby_> waitwhat?
Feb 05 18:59:56 <ynezz> s/hockey-pockey.h/hockey-pockey.sh/g
Feb 05 19:00:27 <bobby_> so anyway: Does opencv come preinstalled with angstrom on beagleboard xM?????
Feb 05 19:01:12 <ynezz> repeating question and/or adding more questions marks doesn't work here
Feb 05 19:01:41 <bobby_> If you noticed...the number of question marks is the same as the first time
Feb 05 19:02:47 <bobby_> I still need help
Feb 05 19:03:41 <bobby_> is there anyone???
Feb 05 19:03:48 <carli2> bobby_: tell me a command line that indicates wether opencv is installed
Feb 05 19:03:54 <ynezz> no, it's Sunday, it's closed
Feb 05 19:04:29 <bobby_> yes exactly i'm searching for that command
Feb 05 19:06:50 <ynezz> find / -iname \*opencv\*
Feb 05 19:07:07 <carli2> bobby_: yes, there are lots of opencv libraries preinstalled
Feb 05 19:07:35 <bobby_> thanks
Feb 05 19:07:49 <carli2> btw the preinstalled angstrom was the only OS i managed to get working. I don't know what i was doing wrong.
Feb 05 19:08:10 <carli2> lots of images did not boot and in ubuntu, the mouse and keyboard did not react (there was no power on usb)
Feb 05 19:08:58 <carli2> this means for me, I will stay with angstrom and unpack packages into the file system when I need them.
Feb 05 19:11:26 <bobby_> so how do you go about installing python?
Feb 05 19:13:52 <bobby_> no response..........
Feb 05 19:14:03 <carli2> with opkg??
Feb 05 19:14:31 <carli2> (i needed two minutes to plug in the keyboard into my beagle and ask opkg if it knows some python packets
Feb 05 19:15:06 <carli2> and btw python is preinstalled
Feb 05 19:15:53 * carli2 has a endless slide show running on his beagleboardxM
Feb 05 19:17:46 <snowrichard> my sister unplugged my cell phone i was using for internet grrr
Feb 05 19:17:53 <snowrichard> aborted my install of debian
Feb 05 19:22:36 <bobby_> ahhh python 2.6.6 is installed...I need to upgrade to 2.7
Feb 05 19:37:24 <bobby_> how do you upgrade python?
Feb 05 19:38:08 * _av500_ thought snakes upgrade themselves
Feb 05 19:42:02 <carli2> bobby_: try opkg update&&opkg upgrade, but don't be surprised if this destroys your system ;)
Feb 05 19:43:14 <brp> I'm unable to get my bluetooth adapter to work on my BeagleBone
Feb 05 19:43:17 <brp> anyone willing to help?
Feb 05 19:51:46 <ganesh> hi
Feb 05 19:51:57 <Guest81206> I have Wonderboard Via Armel board
Feb 05 19:52:37 <Guest81206> on which I am trying to put debain
Feb 05 19:52:42 <Guest81206> *debian
Feb 05 19:53:11 <Guest81206> was stuck at kernel compilation for arm...can anyone help
Feb 05 19:53:39 <_av500_> maybe ask in #wonderboard?
Feb 05 19:57:02 <Guest81206> thanks _av500_ 
Feb 05 19:57:56 * koen is starting to hate trains

Feb 05 19:58:12 <koen> s/8/*/
Feb 05 19:58:22 <_av500_> mine is fine this time
Feb 05 19:58:23 <koen> silly dutch scaremongering
Feb 05 19:59:58 <mattzz> koen: you mind me asking a question regarding your ds1820 blog post?
Feb 05 20:00:37 <_av500_> just ask
Feb 05 20:01:42 <mattzz> you hooked up the data pin directly to a gpio. Did you do anything special so that the 4,7k pull-up on the data line could be omitted in your setting?
Feb 05 20:25:43 <bobby_> How do you get GCC COMPILER on Angstrom???????
Feb 05 20:26:24 <UniCar> bobby_: opkg install task-native-sdk
Feb 05 20:26:51 <mattzz> isn't gcc part of the angstrom demo image already?
Feb 05 20:27:51 <bobby_> we were trying to install a new version of opencv and it said there was no c compiler
Feb 05 20:28:39 <mattzz> gcc should be there. don't know about g++ which is required by some opencv stuff.
Feb 05 20:29:58 <bobby_> where do we get g++?
Feb 05 20:30:40 <mattzz> opkg install g++
Feb 05 20:31:30 <UniCar> What existed first? The compiler or the package manager.
Feb 05 20:32:20 <bobby_> I got a 404 on the g++
Feb 05 20:33:13 <UniCar> Try again tomorrow.
Feb 05 20:34:15 <UniCar> Or try "opkg update" and run the command again.
Feb 05 20:34:33 <bobby_> hanks. So I tried the code, for opkg install g++, 404, how should we get it
Feb 05 22:12:48 <etheretic> snaakje: 'evening.
Feb 05 22:13:25 <etheretic> did u see www.tuflet.com?
Feb 05 22:15:36 <snaakje> I haven't seen anything since past thursday.
Feb 05 22:16:09 <snaakje> And now I'm looking at an elephant.
Feb 05 22:16:23 <snaakje> It must be all those drugs I took since thursday last year.
Feb 05 22:16:29 <etheretic> pink one?
Feb 05 22:17:06 <etheretic> oho.
Feb 05 22:20:53 <etheretic> hydroponic psychedelicatessen?
Feb 05 23:12:34 <aholler> home again, just a hour too late ;)
Feb 05 23:19:36 <_av500_> no late here this time
Feb 05 23:49:45 <arthurnn> sup
Feb 05 23:49:53 <arthurnn> need some help with PWM
Feb 05 23:49:56 <arthurnn> anyone here?
