Oct 04 03:10:14 <maruti> how to transfer if ethernet is not available
Oct 04 03:10:36 <ka6sox> usbnet
Oct 04 03:30:13 <Shadyman> ka6sox: Not sure. For $9, I'd rather get a legit NEO-6M than a clone LEA :/ http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/High-performance-GPS-module-CT-007-perfectly-compatible-U-BLOX-LEA-5S-LEA-6-17x22mm/900533_989558679.html
Oct 04 03:49:58 <ka6sox> Shadyman, the term "perfectly compatible" scares me
Oct 04 03:50:04 <Shadyman> heh
Oct 04 03:50:11 <Shadyman> Everything about it scares me :/
Oct 04 03:50:24 <Shadyman> under that can is probably a blob
Oct 04 03:50:30 <ka6sox> it screams: BEWARE! BEWARE!
Oct 04 03:51:25 <Shadyman> ka6sox: granted, that LEA that its' cloning doesn't have FLASH at all
Oct 04 03:51:41 <Shadyman> so really, not a whole lot of advantages to it
Oct 04 03:53:57 <ka6sox> right
Oct 04 07:10:40 <Leonard> Hello, has anyone problems with the use of an SD card in the beagle bone?
Oct 04 07:10:54 <_av500_> define problems
Oct 04 07:11:49 <Leonard> I encounter read errors, specifically: Sep 29 01:20:53 <hostname> kernel: mmcblk0: retrying using single block read
Oct 04 07:12:16 <_av500_> tried a different card?
Oct 04 07:13:02 <Leonard> I already investigated the problem by trying in total 10 different micro SD cards from different brands
Oct 04 07:13:40 <Leonard> The class 10 cards seem to perform better, but I can't explain why that would be so.
Oct 04 07:14:46 <Leonard> The controller of Class 10 cards apply to a different standard (version 3.0),
Oct 04 07:15:43 <Leonard> but i can't find out any good reason why the card fails.
Oct 04 07:16:11 <Leonard> Te problem is more widespread, as to google. Many Raspberry pi users have it too.
Oct 04 07:16:57 <Leonard> Some caused by faulty power supplies, or type of SD cards, but never a good explanation why the problem occurs
Oct 04 07:17:16 <Leonard> Have you heard of the problem before?
Oct 04 07:22:39 <_av500_> not aware of
Oct 04 07:22:43 <_av500_> my cards work
Oct 04 07:23:09 <m_billybob> shhhh
Oct 04 07:23:43 <_av500_> Leonard: ask on the mailing list
Oct 04 07:23:49 <_av500_> if all fails, consider RMA
Oct 04 07:27:34 <Leonard> To be honest, I'm not using the Beaglebone (yet), but the AriaG25 SOM from acmesystems. But I started asking around for people with comparable problems as they seem to occur at different platforms
Oct 04 07:28:06 <Leonard> Good to hear you don't have the problem, as the cause seems hard to find
Oct 04 07:28:18 <Leonard> May I ask which card you are using?
Oct 04 07:47:38 <_av500_> Leonard: so you are asking about issues with sd card on the bone, but you dont have the bone
Oct 04 07:47:42 <_av500_> and thus no issues
Oct 04 07:51:16 <Leonard> Well, I'm not using the Raspberry as well, but people encounter the same error on that platform. So I was wondering if that's the same for the bone as i'm thinking about switching to the bone. Excuse me for not being clear enough..
Oct 04 07:52:18 <_av500_> that acmesystem (lol) thing does not even use  the same SoC
Oct 04 08:00:47 <Leonard> True, but neither the Raspberry pi does
Oct 04 08:01:48 <Leonard> As the problem seems to come from the SD card itself, then the bone should have those issues as well
Oct 04 08:57:27 <nil> can i ask here something about beaglebone black?
Oct 04 08:58:09 <nil> I am new to the linux kernal building procedure.
Oct 04 08:58:13 <KotH> only if you pay us 3 bars of good swiss chocolate, in advance of course
Oct 04 08:58:33 <nil> :)
Oct 04 08:59:16 <nil> I have BBB board and want to build the linux kernal and port it with ubuntu to board.
Oct 04 08:59:57 <nil> for that i have downloaded the prebuild ubuntu image and the source code for u-boot and the kernal
Oct 04 09:00:57 <nil> and burn prebuild image to micro sd card, it boots from msd card. then build the kernal and just replace the zImage on boot partion.
Oct 04 09:01:10 <nil> But it dose not boot the output is as...

Oct 04 10:17:38 <nil_mane> its superb than web interface
Oct 04 10:18:12 <_av500_> its much better in HTML5
Oct 04 10:19:46 <nil_mane>  .
Oct 04 10:21:55 <nil_mane> where did i get the exact and working step by step instructions of building kernal for beaglebone black (ubuntu)?
Oct 04 10:26:35 <dm8tbr> what's a "Kernal"? is that related to "Kerbal Space Program"?
Oct 04 10:27:17 <KotH> hehe
Oct 04 10:56:27 <honestly> nil_mane: http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black
Oct 04 11:08:46 <philenotfound> dm8tbr: you never had a C64?
Oct 04 11:09:31 <dm8tbr> philenotfound: well. I didn't think he was talking about the commodore Kernal. (yes I'm familiar with that)
Oct 04 11:09:43 * dm8tbr had an A500 though
Oct 04 11:28:00 * KotH has met AV500 
Oct 04 11:28:27 <dm8tbr> KotH: does he have a Kernal too?

Oct 04 13:24:42 <Guest5679> Can anyone tell me how to get started to flash an led on C ?
Oct 04 13:24:50 <Guest5679> any good tutorial online?

Oct 04 13:32:02 <CareBear\> oh finally I can learn how to blink LEDs using a gigahertz cpu!
Oct 04 13:34:12 * mru learned how to blink LEDs using two transistors
Oct 04 13:35:59 <_vicash_> Hello BBB Users, Does anyone know if perl modules like LWP and DBIx::Class and/or Moose work on the BBB ?
Oct 04 13:36:55 <mru> why would they not?
Oct 04 13:37:01 <mru> it's a goddamn computer
Oct 04 13:37:03 <mru> it runs code
Oct 04 13:37:23 <Crofton> mru, needs some beer
Oct 04 13:39:10 <_vicash_> mru: just confirming. i grep'ed the setup-scripts and couldn't find lwp, dbix listed amongst the modules that are supported out of the box. Sure I can try with CPAN on the BBB but that will be much slower to process and shit might not build
Oct 04 13:40:14 <mru> building native always works
Oct 04 13:40:24 <mru> but it might take a while depending on what you're building
Oct 04 13:42:38 <_vicash_> mru: agreed.  i need to use a microSD card for this then
Oct 04 13:43:37 <_vicash_> mru: is there a way to change the bitbake files themselves so that the build is actually done on a system that builds the Angstrom image itself so that the image for teh BBB already has all the modules needed ?
Oct 04 13:49:30 <_av500_> ?
Oct 04 13:50:16 <_av500_> I thought perl modules are not built
Oct 04 13:50:20 <_av500_> arent they perl scripts?
Oct 04 13:50:26 <mru> depends
Oct 04 13:50:41 <mru> they can have native code too
Oct 04 13:51:16 <_av500_> so they same way as when making python usable
Oct 04 13:51:41 <_vicash_> _av500_: especially database modules definitely have native code as there is an interface between the C database libraries and the perl higher abstractions
Oct 04 13:55:14 <KotH> _av500_: nope. python always needs building, perl only needs building when there is native code in there
Oct 04 13:55:55 <mru> and python _never_ builds correctly
Oct 04 13:56:01 <_av500_> KotH: I meant the natice C modules for python
Oct 04 13:56:28 <KotH> _av500_: yes. but python needs "building" even if it's python only
Oct 04 13:56:31 <KotH> for some reason or other
Oct 04 13:57:09 <mru> it's so it can fail in more inscrutable ways
Oct 04 14:42:30 <_vicash_> how does Debian compare to Angstrom when running on the BBB ? I have only run Angstrom versions on it hence wondering if instead of playing with Angstrom I can just use a Debian install on the BBB and let Debian's package management solve my Perl Module problems
Oct 04 14:43:47 <SyNko> Same Rev. Same Board different network card? HOW IS POSSIBLE?
Oct 04 14:44:00 <SyNko> now i need to upgrate the debian
Oct 04 14:44:10 <SyNko> but the dist-upgrade doesnt works
Oct 04 14:44:23 <SyNko> Doeas somebody have ideas?
Oct 04 14:44:28 <SyNko> *Does
Oct 04 14:47:32 <SyNko> av500: ^^
Oct 04 14:49:55 <_av500_> ?
Oct 04 14:50:07 <_av500_> I know nothing about debian
Oct 04 14:50:19 <_av500_> other than ubuntu ss based on it
Oct 04 14:50:19 <_av500_> is
Oct 04 14:50:26 <_av500_> of which I dont know anything either
Oct 04 14:58:51 <SyNko> av500: why in the same BBB and Rev. there is a different network card?
Oct 04 14:59:11 <_av500_> different?
Oct 04 14:59:15 <SyNko> yes
Oct 04 14:59:21 <_av500_> there is no netrwork card at all
Oct 04 14:59:25 <_av500_> its inside the CPU
Oct 04 14:59:33 <SyNko> the eth
Oct 04 14:59:47 <_av500_> so which two cards do you see?
Oct 04 15:01:09 <SyNko> one each board of course but ive created a backup image of the eMMC and in the second one dont work the lan, i use a hdmi cable, is the kernel dont recognise the different card
Oct 04 15:01:22 <SyNko> sorry for my english , im italian
Oct 04 15:01:44 <SyNko> two BBB bought from different distributors
Oct 04 15:01:50 <SyNko> same rev
Oct 04 15:02:32 <_av500_> I still dont understand your issue?
Oct 04 15:02:39 <_av500_> you say you have 2 different "cards"
Oct 04 15:02:41 <_av500_> which ones?
Oct 04 15:02:52 <m_billybob> _vicash_ some things are setup differently, Debian on the BBB *is* very solid
Oct 04 15:03:27 <SyNko> one card from BBB that i bought from Conrad and the one i bought from RS Component mount a different network adapter
Oct 04 15:03:39 <_av500_> so which two cards do you see?
Oct 04 15:03:46 <_av500_> what exactly is different?
Oct 04 15:03:56 <SyNko> would you see the dmesg?
Oct 04 15:04:12 <_av500_> what exactly is different?
Oct 04 15:04:15 <_av500_> sure
Oct 04 15:04:18 <_av500_> pastebin the diff
Oct 04 15:04:20 <SyNko> the driver to get it working is different, so i though is different model
Oct 04 15:04:32 <SyNko> of adappter
Oct 04 15:04:39 <SyNko> cause rev is the same
Oct 04 15:04:47 <_av500_> what exactly is different?
Oct 04 15:04:48 <_av500_> what exactly is different?
Oct 04 15:04:48 <_av500_> what exactly is different?
Oct 04 15:06:17 <SyNko> wait
Oct 04 15:06:24 <SyNko> ill give you the dmesg
Oct 04 15:06:36 <SyNko> Is different something in the hardware
Oct 04 15:07:03 <SyNko> same image one run the other dont recoignize the network adapter
Oct 04 15:07:12 <_av500_> bla bla bla
Oct 04 15:07:13 <_av500_> what exactly is different?
Oct 04 15:07:18 <SyNko> if i use an updated image all run well
Oct 04 15:07:26 <_av500_> then use this
Oct 04 15:07:28 <SyNko> ????
Oct 04 15:07:31 <ka6sox> SyNko, do NOT paste it in here directly...use Pastebin
Oct 04 15:07:40 <_av500_> I give up
Oct 04 15:07:42 <_av500_> I have to go now
Oct 04 15:07:44 <_av500_> good luck
Oct 04 15:07:45 <SyNko> i cannot
Oct 04 15:07:52 <SyNko> thanks
Oct 04 15:08:29 <SyNko> ka6sox Ok

Oct 04 15:09:39 <ka6sox> _av500_, its beer:30 someplace right?
Oct 04 15:09:47 <kuldeepdhaka> ka6sox, ok
Oct 04 15:10:12 <ka6sox> kuldeepdhaka, however this information is in the documentation provided
Oct 04 15:11:41 <kuldeepdhaka> ka6sox, cant find the latest doc   http://embeddedcomputer.nl/lanotattachments/download/file/id/3/store/1/  this one didnt mentioned. can you give pointer to latest doc
Oct 04 15:12:04 <kuldeepdhaka> p32
Oct 04 15:13:15 <SyNko> this is the not recognized :: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=XruPQvVy
Oct 04 15:14:13 <ka6sox> what document is that?
Oct 04 15:14:21 <ka6sox> and what board are you using?
Oct 04 15:15:12 <ka6sox> SyNko, you are on a BBB and booting from the external SD?
Oct 04 15:15:33 <SyNko> nope internal
Oct 04 15:15:36 <SyNko> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Xyid16FK
Oct 04 15:15:42 <SyNko> and this is the other working
Oct 04 15:15:51 <ka6sox> kuldeepdhaka, what board and what is that document you are referencing...
Oct 04 15:16:09 <SyNko> Tom i used the sda only for taking the dmesg cause the lan dont work
Oct 04 15:16:54 <ka6sox> got it
Oct 04 15:17:08 <_vicash_> After reading elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu and elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian, I am a liitle confused. Is it true that HDMI doesn't work on Debian/Ubuntu for the BBB ?
Oct 04 15:17:11 <ka6sox> are you trying to hotplug the USB?
Oct 04 15:17:15 <kuldeepdhaka> ka6sox, got confused with different docs.
Oct 04 15:17:36 <ka6sox> the SRM talks about what the default is for Angstrom
Oct 04 15:17:40 <SyNko> nope without things attacched the result is the same
Oct 04 15:17:54 <ka6sox> for other distributions YMMV
Oct 04 15:18:05 <ka6sox> SyNko, hmmm...
Oct 04 15:18:38 <SyNko> av500:: this is the evidence of a different hardware :: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=XruPQvVy http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Xyid16FK
Oct 04 15:20:19 <ka6sox> SyNko, are they different revs too?
Oct 04 15:20:42 <SyNko> ive controlled, no , now i checking twice
Oct 04 15:21:16 <kuldeepdhaka> ka6sox, looks like A5A   (processor is XAM3359AZCZ100 on-board)
Oct 04 15:21:50 <ka6sox> kuldeepdhaka, what distro are you trying to bring up on this?
Oct 04 15:22:59 <SyNko> one is for sure REv a5ac ,an is working
Oct 04 15:23:08 <SyNko> *A5A
Oct 04 15:23:13 <SyNko> oh god
Oct 04 15:23:18 <SyNko> *A5C
Oct 04 15:23:49 <SyNko> and the other is without box, the box is at friend home
Oct 04 15:23:50 * ka6sox confused now
Oct 04 15:23:58 <kuldeepdhaka> ka6sox, home-brew kernel(though still puts() stage only).
Oct 04 15:24:17 <SyNko> I redo: the one working is Rev A5C
Oct 04 15:24:27 <SyNko> the other is here too
Oct 04 15:24:30 <ka6sox> and the other is a5a
Oct 04 15:24:40 <ka6sox> ?
Oct 04 15:24:42 <SyNko> but the box with the rev label is elsewhere now
Oct 04 15:24:46 <ka6sox> kuldeepdhaka, YMMV
Oct 04 15:24:52 <ka6sox> it should be on the side connector
Oct 04 15:24:58 <ka6sox> unless you removed it :)
Oct 04 15:25:04 <SyNko> wait im watching
Oct 04 15:25:53 <SyNko> is on the side the there is cape connector and is.... A5C!!!! the same
Oct 04 15:26:34 <SyNko> would you like a video?
Oct 04 15:26:38 <ka6sox> nope
Oct 04 15:26:41 <SyNko> i can make photoes
Oct 04 15:26:45 <ka6sox> not necessary
Oct 04 15:26:47 <SyNko> ok
Oct 04 15:26:52 <ka6sox> one is good, the other, not so good.
Oct 04 15:26:55 <SyNko> i can show you the orders
Oct 04 15:26:58 <ka6sox> its okay
Oct 04 15:27:14 <SyNko> btw thanks for your help

Oct 04 15:41:22 <SyNko> ka6sox-farfarawa ::
Oct 04 15:41:24 <SyNko> wait
Oct 04 15:41:26 <SyNko>  a sec
Oct 04 15:41:38 <SyNko> could you ask gerald if is arrived the msg?
Oct 04 15:43:30 <ka6sox-farfarawa> nope, I'm not where he is
Oct 04 15:43:42 <ka6sox-farfarawa> also he scans the ML and finds things like this
Oct 04 15:43:47 <ka6sox-farfarawa> bbl
Oct 04 15:44:02 <SyNko> ok tnx again
Oct 04 15:44:08 <SyNko> bye
Oct 04 16:45:43 <_vicash_> m_billybob: ok . i am curious if the Debian install for the BBB can run X-server stuff like LXDE .. or do I have to run minimal installs on it.. all the default images are minimal installs of Debian/Ubuntu
Oct 04 17:29:42 <BBBEnthusiast> Hello
Oct 04 17:30:04 <BBBEnthusiast> I want to do an awesome project with BBB
Oct 04 17:43:05 <rathijeet> is it necessary to have an img file of qnx to get it installed on BBB
Oct 04 17:45:33 <SyNko> av500: i clearified the things with Robert and Gerald, now works, excuse me if i was a bit aggressive.... all is well when ended well....
Oct 04 17:46:12 <SyNko> ka6sox-farfarawa: ^^ you too, thanks
Oct 04 17:47:29 <ka6sox-farfarawa> SyNko, np...
Oct 04 17:48:49 <rathi> is it necessary to have .img file of qnx to install on beaglebone
Oct 04 17:49:26 <rathi> ???
Oct 04 17:49:59 <SyNko> rathi how could you install something without the main image?
Oct 04 17:51:12 <SyNko> rathi i know there is a free non commercial copy on the official qnx site
Oct 04 17:51:17 <SyNko> use that
Oct 04 17:54:22 <rathi> but that is in iso format
Oct 04 17:55:01 <rathi> is it even necessary
Oct 04 17:58:04 <rathi_> helooo..??
Oct 04 18:00:29 <woglinde> gm is qnx really usefull on bbb?
Oct 04 19:01:25 <Guest1725> is there an already compiled version of bfgminor for the BBB, all I can find is cgminer for it.
Oct 04 19:24:21 <VirG> Has anyone been able to boot FreeBSD from the SD on a BBBlack?
Oct 04 19:28:34 <mru> probably
Oct 04 19:29:08 <VirG> heh. Yeah.
Oct 04 19:30:21 <djlewis> hello mru
Oct 04 19:30:35 <woglinde> hi djlewis
Oct 04 19:30:58 <mru> lo djlewis
Oct 04 19:31:02 <djlewis> woglinde: wazzup dude ?
Oct 04 19:31:08 <woglinde> pizza
Oct 04 19:31:11 <djlewis> yeah
Oct 04 19:31:19 <mru> beer
Oct 04 19:31:28 <djlewis> just had half my 2lb burrito
Oct 04 19:32:01 <djlewis> beer would have gone sooo good with it.
Oct 04 19:32:15 <woglinde> hm
Oct 04 19:32:27 <mru> beer is always good
Oct 04 19:32:53 <mru> there's a reason I live next to a pub
Oct 04 19:33:03 <woglinde> bar maids
Oct 04 19:33:18 <mru> that too
Oct 04 19:33:38 <woglinde> mru you should own a pub
Oct 04 19:35:01 <djlewis> owning a pub might take the fun out of it
Oct 04 19:35:14 <woglinde> hm
Oct 04 19:35:58 <mru> the owner of my local seems to be enjoying it
Oct 04 20:48:14 <travisgriggs> I have my BBB running off of 5V, a 4.3 LCD Cape attached to it, I want to connect a USB keyboard to it. Doesn't seem to "just work". Is it possible? Where do I look? I have gnome disabled and have the angstrom upgraded
Oct 04 20:50:35 <N2TOH> I know it sounds silly but have you tried adding in the use of a USB hub?
Oct 04 20:52:41 <travisgriggs> no N2TOH : I didn't something even dumber :) I failed to see the note that it's not plug-n-play. just repower the board and it works fine :)
Oct 04 20:53:49 <N2TOH> HA yeah I didn't know that the different power connectors made a diference in performance
Oct 04 20:54:39 <travisgriggs> now i need to figure out if i can tune the console size/font for the 4.3 LCD cape
Oct 04 21:05:34 <travisgriggs> does anyone know how to change the console font size for angstrom?
Oct 04 21:06:15 <travisgriggs> googled various pages for linux in general, but none seem to apply for the files i'm finding in angstrom
Oct 04 21:07:58 <woglinde> xorg or framebuffer?
Oct 04 21:12:41 <travisgriggs> no clue woglinde ? how would i determine? it's a BBB running latest upgraded angstrom, with a 4.3 LCD cape
Oct 04 21:13:03 <travisgriggs> i disabled gnome
Oct 04 21:14:02 <woglinde> so its framebuffer
Oct 04 21:18:25 <travisgriggs> i believe you :) (and am curious how you ascertained that… …and where i might go next to tune the font size)
Oct 04 21:24:28 <gtd2800> hello
Oct 04 21:25:32 <gtd2800> I'm updated my beagle bone A6 to the latest June software but none of the lights come up after I done the update
Oct 04 21:26:04 <N2TOH> can the video resolution be increased if the video is color reduced to monocrome?
Oct 04 21:26:07 <gtd2800> Anyone else have issues with updating their begle bone?
Oct 04 21:26:45 <N2TOH> such as? I having an issue is angstrom and missing packages
Oct 04 21:27:09 <travisgriggs> gtd2800: i got mine upgraded, but only after a couple of failed attempts
Oct 04 21:27:43 <N2TOH> I was having DNS issues, a hacked patch worked around that issue
Oct 04 21:29:46 <travisgriggs> mine is a BBB, so ymmv. lessons learned along the way were: the use of the --tmp-dir ~ for the opkg update;upgrade commands and setting something like 8.8.4.4 in /etc/resolve.conf since connman seems to struggle as part of the upgrade
Oct 04 21:31:29 <N2TOH> could you pastebin the actuall configs for us?
Oct 04 21:31:55 <gtd2800> travisgriggs :  besides following the instructions online on just flashing the DS card with the new image, there should be any other types of steps right?
Oct 04 21:34:38 <travisgriggs> i used the emmc flasher image. i run on wall power and ssh into it with an ethernet cable. i have my mac book pro set to share ethernet connection (i watched the output of console looking for something like what the bridge showed under ifconfig on my mac to know the ip address it would be at). i updated /etc/resolv.conf. then i ran opkg --tmp-dir ~ update and watched the text roll by. and then when that was done i ran opkg --tmp-dir ~ upgrade. and
Oct 04 21:34:39 <travisgriggs> then watched the text roll by for an hour or so. when it looked like it was done, i rebooted
Oct 04 21:37:08 <travisgriggs> opkg install will install dependencies… is that a correct assumption?
Oct 04 21:40:49 <N2TOH> I have had to run it more then once to make sure it installed things it missed the first go around
Oct 04 21:42:21 <travisgriggs> that's usually only the case if its a massive update i think
Oct 04 21:50:45 <gtd2800> Should the led should light up after power up in this version of the software? only my power led comes on now, I flash it 7 times and using and brand new SD card
Oct 04 21:51:22 <gtd2800> I try to hit http://192.168.7.1/ but nothings comes up
Oct 04 21:52:23 <gtd2800> is there a place in where someone can test if my board is dead?
Oct 04 22:21:44 <smitty> everybody awake?
Oct 04 22:32:58 <SyNko> I am
Oct 04 22:34:24 <_vicash_> gtd2800: use a USB-TTL cable to connect to the UART pins on your Beaglebone and then view in Hyperterminal/Putty/minicom what is happening during boot. you can then debug from there.

Oct 05 00:47:14 <BBB_> BBB
Oct 05 00:47:31 <BBB_> I was flashing Debian on my eMMC
Oct 05 00:47:38 <BBB_> Followed the standard instructions...
Oct 05 00:48:10 <BBB_> I pressed the Boot button while powering up and released it once the LED's started flashing....
Oct 05 00:48:24 <BBB_> After 2 minutes all the LED's turned off including the Power LED...
Oct 05 00:48:32 <BBB_> I am using a 5V 2 AMP power supply
Oct 05 00:49:17 <BBB_> Any idea what's going on ?
Oct 05 00:50:36 <N2TOH> check the voltage with a DMM?
Oct 05 00:51:36 <BBB_> Not yet...
Oct 05 00:51:46 <BBB_> Do you suspect problem with the power ?
Oct 05 00:52:02 <N2TOH> it's the easiest thing to test
Oct 05 00:52:44 <N2TOH> what is the system voltage under load?
Oct 05 01:00:42 <BBB_> I tried 2 different power sockets
Oct 05 01:01:02 <BBB_> One of them didn't have anything else plugged into it...
Oct 05 01:01:15 <BBB_> I don't have a DMM right now... So I can't comment on it...
Oct 05 01:03:01 <N2TOH> best thing I have think of is invite a friend over to assist
Oct 05 01:04:09 <BBB_> I will try to get hold of a DMM and check the voltage...
Oct 05 01:04:15 <BBB_> Thanks for the help
