**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Apr 15 03:00:01 2018 Apr 15 13:09:01 hi there channel :-) Apr 15 13:11:38 I'm here reading this > http://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/building-for-beaglebone-black-on-linux.html but what other components do I need for a drone? Apr 15 13:13:23 this too > https://erlerobotics.com/blog/product/pxfmini/ ? Apr 15 13:15:49 or > https://pixhawk.org/modules/pixhawk2 Apr 15 15:36:21 dury? Apr 15 15:37:03 BBBlue at https://github.com/silver2row/ardupilotblue. Apr 15 15:37:18 Sorry. Use this...instead. Apr 15 15:37:34 : https://github.com/mirkix/ardupilotblue Apr 15 15:37:44 set_, first of all how are you there? Apr 15 15:37:51 Good...I am doing well. Apr 15 15:37:59 How are you, dury? Apr 15 15:38:52 great mate doing my best to find a proper tutorial to build a drone though, set_ Apr 15 15:39:37 Also...look here for ideas: https://www.robotshop.com/blog/en/robots/gorobotics/tutorials/how-to-make-a-drone-uav. Apr 15 15:39:48 Oh. Apr 15 15:39:52 I am building a drone too. Apr 15 15:40:02 I have my BBBlue, some motors, and a frame. Apr 15 15:40:20 I have my ESCs and now I need to solder the components together. Apr 15 15:40:29 ... Apr 15 15:40:55 dury: That site you showed is outdated, i.e. the one for the BBB and building w/ arduPilot. Apr 15 15:41:07 I got 2 BBB, one A5c Rev. and C Rev. Apr 15 15:41:38 Oh. Apr 15 15:41:57 set_, need help, what other components I need, you see? Apr 15 15:42:35 set_, which site the last url you typed? Apr 15 15:43:05 Motors, ESCs, Battery (LiPo), frame, target board (BBBlue or Pocket Beagle), and some gps if needed. Apr 15 15:43:27 Look over the GitHub.com site for the BBBlue and ardupilot. Apr 15 15:43:36 You will get some ideas. Apr 15 15:43:53 It may be easier to get the BBBlue or the Robotics Cape for the BBB. Apr 15 15:44:51 dury: Use github.com/mirkix/ardupilotblue. Apr 15 15:44:54 which robotics cape do I need for BBB Rev. C 4GB eMMC Apr 15 15:45:16 Hold on. I saw one by strawson the other day. I will look it up again. Apr 15 15:47:13 http://www.strawsondesign.com/#!board-features but I do not know where to purchase it. Apr 15 15:48:21 https://www.renaissancerobotics.com/ is where to purchase it but you can just get the BBBlue for ease of access. Apr 15 15:48:57 That cape is not an official Cape for some reason. Apr 15 15:50:39 I think that just means you will have to get support from the Strawson people instead. Who knows? Apr 15 15:50:59 set_, Is there a kit with BBBlue and the rest of components to build by your own one? Apr 15 15:52:32 No...I do not think so. You will have to go to amazon.com or another site to purchaes the rest of the items. Apr 15 15:52:55 set_, right I see Apr 15 15:53:01 dury: Look at RobotShop.com, too. They have ideas on drones, components, and specific items needed. Apr 15 15:53:41 set_, right I will, mate. thanks indeed for your time and support Apr 15 15:53:48 No issue. Apr 15 15:53:55 If things go well, let me know. Apr 15 15:54:01 I am still working on my drone. Apr 15 15:54:24 set_, no issue means no problem, right? Apr 15 15:54:29 I am using the BBBlue and some other components. Apr 15 15:54:34 Right. Apr 15 15:54:40 Right-o! Apr 15 15:55:35 set_, so BBBlue makes easier to build one, then? Apr 15 15:55:50 dury: Yes. Apr 15 15:56:01 From what I can tell but my scope is limited. Apr 15 15:56:26 The BBBlue is probably just a bit more in way of money compared to the Robotics Cape. Apr 15 15:56:47 set_, your scope what's that? Apr 15 15:56:58 Um, my knowledge base. Apr 15 15:57:07 right Apr 15 15:57:12 Yeppers. Apr 15 15:57:30 So dury: Which route are you going to take? Apr 15 15:58:10 set_, route, what's that? sorry to ask you Apr 15 15:58:31 Well, are you going to make your drone w/ the BBBlue or the Cape for the BBB? Apr 15 15:59:37 dury: I know this may sound boring but do some research first. Read up on ideas. I have realized that mistakes are made by myself b/c of lack of knowledge. Apr 15 15:59:38 ... Apr 15 15:59:55 I steady try to research more and more before taking action. Education! Apr 15 16:00:26 oh and I have made some mistakes w/ the BBB before. Believe me. Yikes! Apr 15 16:00:32 set_, well, got already those BBB boards, I don't know what to do, jeeessuusss !!!!! Apr 15 16:00:42 Oh. Apr 15 16:01:05 Um, build and see what happens or learn first. After learning, you can then make a decision. Apr 15 16:01:37 I once purchased to quickly and ended up w/ some items I was not needing. Apr 15 16:01:39 that'll be a good idea too. Apr 15 16:02:06 dury: When you have time, look over those sites. They will give you some basics on ideas. Apr 15 16:02:28 Also, ArduPilot has a forum. Apr 15 16:02:38 set_, robotics.com ??? Apr 15 16:02:43 Oh. Apr 15 16:02:48 robotshop.com Apr 15 16:02:57 sorry.. Apr 15 16:03:25 great set_ Apr 15 16:03:35 No issue. Look here: https://www.robotshop.com/blog/en/how-to-make-a-drone-uav-lesson-5-assembly-15762. Apr 15 16:04:10 That will show you about assembling the drone and it could give you some pointers on what to purchase. Apr 15 16:04:26 set_ nice though!!! Apr 15 16:04:33 Yep. Apr 15 16:04:53 Hey dury: Give me an update when you get your items. Maybe we can work together on ideas. Apr 15 16:05:09 set_ sure!!! Apr 15 16:05:27 set_ you from the states? Apr 15 16:06:17 Yep. Apr 15 16:06:22 Louisiana Apr 15 16:06:52 I am working w/ a dang, stubborn motor driver now. Apr 15 16:06:52 jeeessuuss have to be sticky weather over there, or what? Apr 15 16:07:00 Yep. Apr 15 16:07:10 It is a bit cold today right now. Apr 15 16:07:23 I am using the L298 w/ the BBB right now. Apr 15 16:07:43 I cannot get the motor driver to make my motors turn. Apr 15 16:08:24 I have tried changing the jumpers, changing input pins, and using config-pin to set the mode of the pins. Apr 15 16:08:40 all right set_ .... have to go outside for walk a bit Apr 15 16:08:49 Okay. Later for now. Apr 15 16:09:41 many time in front of computer it's not good.... move, move... you see? Apr 15 16:10:05 catch u later, then Apr 15 16:10:05 Oh...yep. Apr 15 16:10:13 Alright. Later. Apr 15 17:28:18 Hello. Have a problem with 1-wire temp sensor. If I enable in uEnv.txt #uboot_overlay_addr0=/lib/firmware/BB-W1-P9.12-00A0.dtbo. 1-wire works but no pwm and no gpios... Apr 15 17:40:05 betazoid: When you enable an overlay, the universal cape overlay gets disabled, so you might need to re-enable that manually (or, if that results in conflicts, configure everything you need using overlays) Apr 15 17:42:31 Thanks :), I will try. How can I re-enable manually? Apr 15 18:13:04 it would definitely result in conflicts Apr 15 18:14:44 maybe eventually the overlays will be fixed to explicitly disable those parts of cape-universal that conflict, and then loading them on top of cape-universal would work okay (this solution is being used on the pocketbeagle) Apr 16 01:13:22 Hello! Apr 16 01:13:26 Sunday! Apr 16 01:14:21 Motor Drivers got you down? I know! **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Apr 16 03:00:01 2018
