**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Apr 20 02:59:58 2014
Apr 20 03:07:17 <nyt-> just finished https://github.com/notnyt/beaglebone recently
Apr 20 03:38:23 <Mike_Ham> anhyone still around?
Apr 20 03:42:24 <vagrantc> a more targeted question makes it easier to help...
Apr 20 03:44:30 <Mike_Ham> looking for a microhdmi to vga or hdmi adaptor that other have used and working.
Apr 20 03:44:55 <nyt-> did you try the proper power supply yet?
Apr 20 03:45:32 <Mike_Ham> yes works for a little longer but still shuts off/.
Apr 20 03:45:35 <nyt-> microhdmi to vga is not similar to mivrohdmi to hdmi.  one requires active signal conversion.
Apr 20 03:46:00 <nyt-> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0060AU5MW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Apr 20 03:46:02 <nyt-> these work fine
Apr 20 03:46:28 <Mike_Ham> what about to vga?
Apr 20 03:46:37 <vagrantc> they're a lot more expensive
Apr 20 03:47:03 <Mike_Ham> my monitor has the vga and dvi plugs
Apr 20 03:47:08 <nyt-> so use dvi
Apr 20 03:47:09 <vagrantc> dvi is much easier
Apr 20 03:47:17 <Mike_Ham> ok
Apr 20 03:47:54 <Mike_Ham> looking for one that other have used.  I do not want to try to re invent the wheel.
Apr 20 03:51:00 <vagrantc> i've used an microhdmi to hdmi cable with an hdmi to dvi adaptor, and it worked fine ... but i don't have specific part numbers or anything.
Apr 20 03:52:25 <nyt-> there's no signal conversion for hdmi to dvi
Apr 20 03:52:25 <Mike_Ham> using the barrel or usb?
Apr 20 03:52:28 <nyt-> any of it will just work
Apr 20 03:53:17 <vagrantc> i used the barrel plug
Apr 20 03:53:32 <vagrantc> with a 5v 3amp power supply
Apr 20 03:53:35 <nyt-> i linked you microhdmi to hdmi cable,
Apr 20 03:53:36 <nyt-> http://www.amazon.com/SMAKN-Plated-Female-Dvi-d-Adaptor/dp/B00CCVKQRM/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1397965979&sr=8-13&keywords=hdmi+to+dvi
Apr 20 03:53:40 <nyt-> can use one of those for hdmi to dvi
Apr 20 03:53:40 <nyt-> or
Apr 20 03:54:29 <nyt-> http://www.amazon.com/Accell-J132B-002B-Type-D-Female-Adapter/dp/B005PHHO5M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397966049&sr=8-1&keywords=microhdmi+to+dvi
Apr 20 03:54:31 <nyt-> if you have an hdmi cable
Apr 20 03:55:01 <nyt-> i'd use the first choice i listed
Apr 20 03:56:35 <Mike_Ham> ok go from microhdmi to hdmi the hdmi to dvi
Apr 20 03:57:04 <Mike_Ham> i have a hdmi cable but not a micohdmi
Apr 20 03:58:04 <pjustice> bbb shuts off, or screen blanks?
Apr 20 03:58:31 <Mike_Ham> the screen blanks i can putty to the device and all is fine.  It like the microhdmi shuts off
Apr 20 03:58:56 <Mike_Ham> i say a you tube video that talks about the issue I have.
Apr 20 03:59:29 <Mike_Ham> what the result was that the person opened the case.
Apr 20 04:00:00 <Mike_Ham> foudn the power lead and removed the power cable and then add a 3.3 from one of the pins
Apr 20 04:00:04 <Mike_Ham> problem went away.

Apr 20 09:22:16 <johnwalkr> i can’t seem to search the irc logs, anyone know how?
Apr 20 09:25:57 <tbr-fi> use your search-engine-fu: site:http://logs.nslu2-linux.org/livelogs/beagle/
Apr 20 09:32:44 <johnwalkr> thanks, coudln’t get that to work on the logs host at beagleboard.org
Apr 20 10:14:40 <n-st> hi, i'm trying to mount an aufs on a beaglebone black with the 3.13.6-bone8 kernel, but the mount command fails: "unknown filesystem type 'aufs'"
Apr 20 10:15:21 <n-st> i've installed the aufs-tools package, but it seems the aufs kernel module is missing — any chance of getting this to work without recompiling the kernel?
Apr 20 10:24:28 <tbr-fi> either install or compile the module
Apr 20 13:38:28 <zezinho> hi all
Apr 20 13:39:01 <zezinho> il y a des Français ?
Apr 20 14:05:27 <zezinho> ??
Apr 20 14:07:24 <Dan> zezinho: hello
Apr 20 14:08:11 <Dan> i dont know what you said, but most people talk in english in here. not saying you have to just you might have more luck if you talk in a language most people understand :)
Apr 20 14:12:24 <Defiant> Dan: chinese?
Apr 20 14:12:59 <Dan> Defiant: its all greek to me :)
Apr 20 14:13:50 <Defiant> which is paid by germany..so lets speak german :P
Apr 20 14:14:00 <Dan> lol
Apr 20 14:14:44 <Dan> i struggle enough with english.... and that is the only language i know......... feel free to try what ever..... but its beyond me to keep up :D
Apr 20 16:45:07 <wendii> i cant figure out how to send code to my beagle bone.
Apr 20 16:45:53 <wendii> i have all the cables connected but when i hit run it gives me an error
Apr 20 16:46:09 <wendii> i am wondering if there is a program i need that i am missing
Apr 20 17:03:33 <thurgood> are you cross compiling your app?
Apr 20 17:05:00 <wendii> i have no idea
Apr 20 17:05:46 <johnwalkr> hut run on what?
Apr 20 17:05:48 <johnwalkr> hit*
Apr 20 17:06:02 <wendii> beagle bone code examples
Apr 20 17:06:52 <johnwalkr> using cloud9?
Apr 20 17:07:02 <wendii> yes
Apr 20 17:07:27 <johnwalkr> i have no experience with that but if you describe the error someone can probably help
Apr 20 17:07:58 <thurgood> ah... yeah I don't use the cloud9 ide either
Apr 20 17:08:19 <wendii> the error i get is Exception: Please perform setTargetAddress on a valid target
Apr 20 17:42:18 <rocky|bluevm> mrpackethead: hey, do you remember me?
Apr 20 17:42:26 <rocky|bluevm> the quadcopter is flying!
Apr 20 17:46:07 <johnwalkr> sorry wendii if you are patient hopefully someone has more experience with could9
Apr 20 17:46:22 <rocky|bluevm> experience with what?
Apr 20 17:47:20 <rocky|bluevm> oh, right, logs.
Apr 20 17:47:44 <rocky|bluevm> I can't help with cloud9
Apr 20 17:51:23 <wendii> that is fine. i am working with it
Apr 20 19:08:24 <wendii> is there a better program than cloud9?
Apr 20 19:08:35 <XorA> many ;-)
Apr 20 19:08:49 <wendii> what would be the best/
Apr 20 19:09:02 <XorA> personally quite partial to quake 3
Apr 20 19:09:17 <wendii> what language does it use?
Apr 20 19:09:52 <wendii> or does it use multiple languages
Apr 20 19:11:01 <XorA> wendii: you might have more success in your inquiry if you specify what features you are looking for
Apr 20 19:13:05 <wendii> i am trying to send a code in c++ to my beagle bone and cloud9 makes no sense.
Apr 20 19:14:42 <XorA> I am not really familiar with Cloud9, I would be tempted to just ssh into beagle bone, use g++/vim directy
Apr 20 19:14:47 <XorA> directly
Apr 20 19:15:24 <XorA> beaglebone is afterall just a linux machine
Apr 20 19:16:11 <wendii> how would i do that directly? i have very little experience with coding things.
Apr 20 19:17:20 <XorA> well do you specifically need to code on beaglebone? You can start just on you linux desktop to get experience
Apr 20 19:18:59 <wendii> I dont really need to code on it, I am trying to get it to blink an external LED
Apr 20 19:20:01 <XorA> right, so you need access to the IO header, I think Cloud9 has APIs for that, but I could not guide you as I have never used it
Apr 20 19:20:36 <XorA> it is a holiday weekend here in UK and I think in USA so its a bit quite around, maybe try later in the week
Apr 20 19:20:54 <tbr> cloud9 can blink it through javascript
Apr 20 19:23:07 <wendii> ok thanks
Apr 20 19:23:43 <wendii> i am electrical and not compE or compsci so i have no idea what i am doing
Apr 20 19:24:00 * XorA is an EE who ended up in software
Apr 20 19:24:54 <wendii> i am trying to learn it hoping it will be of use later
Apr 20 19:26:22 <wendii> i am figuring out arduino but this is more complicated i think
Apr 20 19:28:55 <johnwalkr> it is wendii, it’s hard to jump into if you haven’t used linux before
Apr 20 19:29:31 <wendii> yeah i have never used liux
Apr 20 19:29:39 <wendii> *linux
Apr 20 19:48:26 <deluxe247> I need some help with the device tree overlays. I want to setup a dts file that I can use to interact with a few sensors I have in mind. I was looking at the beboper cape for an example just to see how it defines things and the @fragments part dont quite make sense. Is there a better dts to look at for setting up pins for use?
Apr 20 20:18:42 <nyt-> which pins
Apr 20 22:22:24 <Mike_ham> have a problem with a micro hdmi to vga adaptor.   I only get 30 seconds of display and then the display shuts off.  I have the bbb set on a 5 v 2 a power supply.  anybody have any suggestions.
Apr 20 23:26:19 <Mike_ham> Having issue with MicroHMDI.  I have a 5 v 2 amp power supply attached to the BBB but unable to get any display on the adaptor.
Apr 20 23:55:22 <jabers> Using python and a digital input can I read a PWM signal on my BBB?
Apr 20 23:56:23 <jabers> I am usin the adafruit python library and would like to send a measurement from my trinket, ATTiny85, to my beaglebbone black.
Apr 20 23:57:31 <jabers> The trinket does not have a serial output so I want to send a PWM signal out of it and into my BBB.
Apr 20 23:58:08 <jkridner> jabers: you talking about counting the frequency?
Apr 20 23:58:56 <jjj__> anyone three phase application made through beaglebone application
Apr 20 23:59:09 <jabers> I suppose so.
Apr 20 23:59:10 <jjj__>  anyone knows three phase application made through beaglebone application
Apr 20 23:59:17 <jjj__> ?
Apr 21 00:00:40 <jjj__> jabbers which one?
Apr 21 00:01:28 <jjj__> ?
Apr 21 00:02:33 <jabers> <jjj__> I am sorry I was responding to <@jkridner> I do not know what you mean by a three phase application
Apr 21 00:03:48 <jjj__> jabers any motor control application
Apr 21 00:04:45 <jjj__> jabers you know any motor control application made through beaglebone
Apr 21 00:06:28 <jabers> <jjj__> have you looked at this? https://learn.adafruit.com/controlling-a-servo-with-a-beaglebone-black
Apr 21 00:06:40 <jabers> im not sure if that is what you are looking for
Apr 21 00:06:43 <jabers> i hope it is helpful
Apr 21 00:07:57 <jabers> <@jkridner> how would I go about measureing the duty cycle of an incoming signal
Apr 21 00:08:02 <jabers> ?
Apr 21 00:27:42 <Mike_Ham> any one have good luck with the micorHDMI working?
Apr 21 00:28:02 <Mike_Ham> i can only get it to work for about 30 seconds than it shut off.
Apr 21 00:28:09 <Mike_Ham> i have it powered with a external supply
Apr 21 00:37:22 <Dan1> Mike_Ham: it worked fine for me, do you have another monitor you could plug it into?
Apr 21 00:38:11 <Mike_Ham> what microhdmi do you have.  I am thinking it may be my adaptor
Apr 21 00:41:05 <nyt-> dude
Apr 21 00:41:07 <nyt-> we told you already
Apr 21 00:41:19 <nyt-> do you think asking repeatedly is going to get a different answer?
Apr 21 00:41:22 <nyt-> stop using the vga converter
Apr 21 00:41:25 <nyt-> and use dvi
Apr 21 00:42:17 <Dan1> oh, yea vga converter is probably a pretty necessary piece of info you need to tell people when your asking for help....
Apr 21 00:43:37 <nyt-> jabers unless you have something high resolution, measuring duty cycle is going to be tricky
Apr 21 00:43:59 <nyt-> if its low frequency you can probably monitor some edge triggers and do basic math
Apr 21 00:44:10 <nyt-> otherwise you'll need to use the pru and write some asm to handle it
Apr 21 01:09:12 <BBBnewbie> can someone help me with an error in ubuntu on BBB
Apr 21 01:11:15 <vagrantc> BBBnewbie: only if you tell people what the error is...
Apr 21 01:11:50 <BBBnewbie> sorry.. i get the error: Cannot create thread 1 Operation not permitted  when i try to run mpd
