I just need to know what accessories, cape, etc to buy Aug 10 13:44:47 hi Aug 10 13:54:52 Hi friends Aug 10 13:55:35 I am not able to connect to the IP address when connecting Beaglebone Black with usb Aug 10 13:56:45 Xippe: does the usb network interface show up? Aug 10 14:09:52 tbr: No.. I don't seem to be able to find it at all Aug 10 14:14:22 Xippe: what's your PC's operating system? Aug 10 14:15:33 tbr: Windows Aug 10 14:17:34 Xippe: did you install the drivers as instructed? Aug 10 14:19:33 tbr: Yep, I even started the installer now and it says they're already installed just to be sure Aug 10 14:20:19 Xippe: and you rebooted after installing them? Aug 10 14:25:06 tbr: Hmm, I'll try that out in a moment, I don't think I ever rebooted Aug 10 14:25:23 worth a try Aug 10 14:53:15 Mornin' all Aug 10 14:53:43 caaaaaaa automatically messaged me with some link as soon as I said something in the channel, btw Aug 10 15:00:42 tawr: yes, waiting for chanops to fix this Aug 10 15:00:53 How's your morning going, tbr ? Aug 10 15:01:23 local time just hit 1800, but it's been a nice day and good UGT morning to you Aug 10 15:02:19 Great to hear :) Aug 10 15:02:53 I had a few questions about the BBB that should be here sometime early this coming week, are you pretty familiar with them? Aug 10 15:04:26 this isn't a forum and I don't follow the channel that closely, so it might be better to restate your issues, that would also allow others to possibly chime in. Aug 10 15:04:50 Ah, no issues, just wondering if you have some time on your BBB Aug 10 15:05:23 I had an idea about possibly using it as a "laptop" computer for just basic browsing / youtube / videos, and the questions were in that regard Aug 10 15:06:47 it doesn't have multimedia acceleration, so that will be limited by CPU Aug 10 15:09:02 I thought it did have a built in gpu that could be used for multimedia? Aug 10 15:10:10 this is for a somewhat unique project, but it all hinges / rests upon the idea that the BBB would be able to be used as a 'normal', albeit slow, linux computer running a browser, flash, vlc, etc Aug 10 15:13:36 there is no flash for arm, you'd need to resort to gnash or such Aug 10 15:14:07 hmm Aug 10 15:22:33 http://lightspark.github.io/ Aug 10 15:22:51 hm spammer again Aug 10 15:23:43 hm oh last commit on march for lightspark Aug 10 15:42:40 hi Aug 10 15:43:08 anyone tried pwm in beaglebone? Aug 10 15:43:20 pwm in beaglebone black Aug 10 15:44:32 has anyone have the steps for enabling pwm in beaglebone black Aug 10 15:49:59 have you tried google Aug 10 15:50:06 because even their startpage has like 5 examples for pwm Aug 10 15:50:44 in fact, googling that brings up adafruit as one of the top results: https://learn.adafruit.com/fading-a-rgb-led-on-beaglebone-black/overview Aug 10 15:56:56 Hi friends Aug 10 15:57:06 tbr: Unfortunally rebooting didn't help Aug 10 15:57:43 unfortunately* Aug 10 15:58:05 ZZzz.. I want this to work Aug 10 15:58:18 Xippe: do the leds blink? Aug 10 16:02:11 They don't blink.. but they're lit Aug 10 16:03:15 sounds like the board doesn't boot properly then Aug 10 16:04:00 I had it working with my TV the other day, I installed some software to sync NTP time Aug 10 16:04:44 It was the first time I tried it out. It's a year old, but didn't try it out until now Aug 10 16:06:44 when I was going to reboot it, for some reason it didn't start. The logo shows up like normal and it seems to load, then all of a sudden it goes "No signal" on the TV.. and nothing happens after that. So I was going to check if I could somehow reset it or such, using USB connection or see what was wrong Aug 10 16:08:36 you can reflash it using a microsd card Aug 10 16:20:30 Xippe, do you have any capes or anything plugged in? Aug 10 16:21:04 after it "boots" can you connect via usb or ssh in? Aug 10 16:21:07 or is it completely dead Aug 10 22:20:38 Does Beaglebone Black Rev C has a USB device cap on the USB host port? Because I only get 8 USB device to work. The does show up but can't use them. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Aug 11 02:59:58 2014
