Sep 18 03:18:33 <yates> rcn-ee: are  you at the Forest Dr/Greenville facility?
Sep 18 03:42:15 <rcn-ee> yates, at the Wardenclyffe
Sep 18 03:43:12 <yates> NY?
Sep 18 03:46:06 <rcn-ee> kidding, nope, at northern minnesota..
Sep 18 03:47:12 <yates> brrrrrr...  :)
Sep 18 03:47:52 <rcn-ee> keeps the rift wraf out.. ;)
Sep 18 03:49:03 <yates> i must say, i didn't enjoy Dallas.
Sep 18 03:51:25 <yates> a bbb rev c is AM3359? i thought it was a 3358?
Sep 18 03:55:28 <m_billybob2> jkridner, i remember reading sometime back in here you were lookign to take over the world one line javascript at a time or some such ? How about a Nodejs MPPT charge controller ? heh eheh
Sep 18 03:55:38 <m_billybob2> i actually think that would probably work well if done right
Sep 18 03:58:12 <m_billybob2> Is of some interrest to me, maybe ill make one.
Sep 18 04:45:04 * jkridner googles MPPT charge controller?
Sep 18 04:45:55 <ds2> MPPT? isn't that the power point tracking stuff from TI
Sep 18 04:46:04 <ds2> tuned for solar
Sep 18 04:46:51 <jkridner> http://makerfaire.com/makers/solrmatic-automatic-solar-cooking/
Sep 18 04:49:18 <m_billybob2> mppt is not specific to TI
Sep 18 04:49:52 <m_billybob2> maximumn power point tracking. Basically the "knee" of the I/V curve
Sep 18 04:52:11 <m_billybob2> Or simply put, you're eeking the most possible power out of a solar panel, or even in soem cases windpower
Sep 18 04:54:20 <ds2> I see
Sep 18 04:54:31 <ds2> learned it from a TI Tech day talk
Sep 18 04:54:51 <m_billybob2> ah well im not exactly an expert and most certainly not in power electronics
Sep 18 04:54:57 <ds2> don't hear much about them any more. had some good technical stuff there. esp. from the power folks
Sep 18 04:55:51 <m_billybob2> Mostly you'd here it form peopel who live off grid perhaps ? and have a large enough solar array
Sep 18 04:55:57 <m_billybob2> or from large solar farms
Sep 18 04:56:23 <m_billybob2> we're offgrid, with a 6KW potential peak array
Sep 18 04:56:37 <m_billybob2> we peak actualy at aroudn half that
Sep 18 04:56:42 <m_billybob2> actual*
Sep 18 04:56:50 <m_billybob2> so roughly 50% efficieny
Sep 18 04:57:24 <m_billybob2> MPPT is supposed to add back another 10-25% efficiency, but there are otehr factors
Sep 18 04:57:42 <m_billybob2> heat, battery temp . . .are a couple i can think of offhand
Sep 18 05:03:44 <av500> also ranchers driving their herds through the solar fields...
Sep 18 05:04:32 <m_billybob2> would not happen here.
Sep 18 05:05:34 <m_billybob2> our arrays are abotu two stories up on top of a large metal building first of al but the fence aroudn the entire 40 Acres would stop it before that
Sep 18 05:06:00 <m_billybob2> perhaps cowswith wings ? ah double whammy lol
Sep 18 05:27:55 <ragnar76> good morning all
Sep 18 05:28:12 <ragnar76> anyone knowd where to  buy the weather cape?
Sep 18 05:28:26 <av500> and weather or not to buy it
Sep 18 05:28:48 <av500> http://www.jameco.com/1/1/51149-bb-bone-wthr-01-beaglebone-weather-cape-beagleboard.html
Sep 18 05:28:59 <av500> wow, 99
Sep 18 05:29:08 <av500> I hope it makes good weather
Sep 18 05:30:36 <ragnar76> yeah
Sep 18 05:31:57 <ragnar76> i've build my own weathercape and i wanted to know where the difference is but $99 is  lot over my budget atm
Sep 18 05:33:40 <av500> http://www.newark.com/circuitco/bb-bone-wthr-01/board-beaglebone-weather-cape/dp/26W8122
Sep 18 05:33:42 <av500> 74
Sep 18 05:43:43 <ragnar76> hm
Sep 18 07:10:27 <Murugesan> Hi
Sep 18 07:11:21 <tbr> mooo
Sep 18 07:19:42 <Murugesan> Can any one please let me know if i can use black hawk jatag instead of Keil Ulink2
Sep 18 07:20:19 * tbr isn't familiar with either
Sep 18 08:29:59 <Rotti> hi
Sep 18 08:34:07 <woglinde> hi rooti
Sep 18 08:34:12 <woglinde> ups rotti
Sep 18 08:38:05 <Rotti> commom typo, woglinde ;)
Sep 18 08:38:08 <tbr> moaning, gents
Sep 18 09:32:45 <Murugesan> hi
Sep 18 15:17:03 <mistawrught> im running ubuntu on my beaglebone black. Is there a way to use the scripts in opt to build a realtime kernel?
Sep 18 15:29:04 <FMA> Hi guys
Sep 18 15:35:35 <woglinde> mistawrught what is realtime for you?
Sep 18 16:33:14 <LuaStoned> hey, when loading the pru driver via 'modprobe uio_pruss' shoudn't there be /dev/uio0?
Sep 18 17:41:28 <kamileon> whats the best way to clone my BBB eMMC to copy over to another BBB, or can I
Sep 18 17:53:02 <tbr> kamileon: boot from sd card that has lots of free space, dd to that free space, rinse repeat, but reverse the direction
Sep 18 17:53:24 <tbr> or use netcat
Sep 18 18:01:54 <kamileon> tbr: thanks, that was my plan.  Just seems like a pain to have to hold down the boot button every time i want to boot the BBB.
Sep 18 18:04:49 <sa_> hi
Sep 18 18:05:31 <sa_> i wanted to find out if the beaglebone black can be overclocked externally
Sep 18 18:07:09 <thurgood_> what does overclocked externally mean?
Sep 18 18:17:26 <m_billybob> thurgood, perhaps overclocked when outside ?
Sep 18 18:18:09 <m_billybob> yeah, i have no idea either
Sep 18 18:22:08 <tbr> m_billybob: overclocked by external lightning strike. 1.21 Jiggawats!
Sep 18 18:22:28 <notserpe> decap and then probes for overclock or perhaps purchase a FIB
Sep 18 18:23:44 <m_billybob> I dont think it would be a good idea to overclock the processor on a beaglebone either way
Sep 18 18:24:27 <m_billybob> I think i remember reading thatthe beagelboardXM could be "safely" overclocked to 1Ghz ? but meh idk
Sep 18 18:24:57 <m_billybob> BBB alrqdy operates at this frequency ;)
Sep 18 18:25:06 <thurgood> the 3730 used in the xM is a 1GHz part.. so it's technically not overclocking, afaik
Sep 18 18:26:13 <thurgood> they may call it overdrive mode or something though
Sep 18 18:26:25 <m_billybob> well when it boils down to it, i really dont care. Its not something id do with such hardware.
Sep 18 18:28:04 <m_billybob> I mean, even if we wanted to, its not like we're going ot be playing Crysis on this thing . . .
Sep 18 18:28:30 <m_billybob> it can hardly handle minecraft form what i understand
Sep 18 21:40:12 <JetForMe> I'm having trouble starting dhcp-server on BBB/Debian: # dhcpd -f -d -t /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
Sep 18 21:40:24 <JetForMe> It says: /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf: interface name too long (is 20)
Sep 18 22:04:12 <jpfau> JetForMe: you need to pass -cf for the config file. It's assuming that filename is the iface name
Sep 18 22:05:03 <JetForMe> Grr, sorry, I was, but I screwed up at some point. Thanks. I actually got it to work already by tweaking /etc/network/interfaces
Sep 18 22:05:20 <yates> does debian 3.8-bone64 put libc6 somewhere weird?
Sep 18 22:05:32 <jpfau> JetForMe: cool, glad you got it working :)
Sep 18 22:06:14 <yates> i'm trying to build and install the soci database library, whichuses cmake, but i'm stuck at the following error: http://www.fpaste.org/134723/11076573/
Sep 18 22:06:26 <yates> the cmakelists file has this there: http://www.fpaste.org/134724/41107672/
Sep 18 22:06:41 <yates> any clues?
Sep 18 22:13:38 <yates> nm. got it.
Sep 19 02:18:31 <buzzsaw> good evening
Sep 19 02:35:14 <buzzsaw> I am looking to buy my first BeagleBoard :-)  its kind of exciting!
Sep 19 02:37:28 <buzzsaw> I am thinking about using it to automate my fish tank a bit
Sep 19 02:41:11 <buzzsaw> does the pwm run at 3.3v or 5v
Sep 19 02:42:39 <thurgood> heya buzzsaw, lots of people idle in here, don't take slow responses as a sign of rudeness
