**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Oct 25 03:00:00 2018 Oct 25 03:02:44 zmatt: Do you think that the rev-l and rev-r would work on this software, https://github.com/silver2row/motocape/blob/master/MotoCape.py? Oct 25 03:04:00 For some reason...my LED is coming on for MotorFour when I attempt to only make MotorOne move in reverse. Oct 25 03:12:39 this looks really weird... why are you using the fourth argument of PWM.start ? Oct 25 03:13:09 Hmm. Let me look at what you are describing. Oct 25 03:13:21 also, why not make your life easier by using the python class I wrote to avoid having to manually fiddle with the PWM and GPIO controls? Oct 25 03:13:37 (which I linked to a while ago, and linked to again just now) Oct 25 03:14:05 b/c...I was following along in a book and wanted to test out the software I learned. Then, I wanted to add to it. Oct 25 03:14:28 The fourth integer is the polarity. Oct 25 03:14:54 forward or inverse of forward (reverse). So, I thought. Oct 25 03:15:58 Oh and... Oct 25 03:16:27 I plan on making this software a remote control too. Oct 25 03:16:32 no that is not what it does Oct 25 03:16:37 I know! Oct 25 03:16:40 the gpio is used for direction control Oct 25 03:16:44 Oh! Oct 25 03:16:53 I thought PWM was direction. Oct 25 03:16:56 Yikes! Oct 25 03:17:00 eh, no, pwm is speed Oct 25 03:17:05 Aw! Oct 25 03:17:07 Okay. Oct 25 03:17:24 So, no reverse w/ the Adafruit_BBIO for now. Oct 25 03:17:46 I will test out your class. Oct 25 03:17:52 but again, just use my wrapper class which lets you do e.g. motor4.set( 100 ) for forward (full speed) and motor4.set( -100) for reverse Oct 25 03:17:54 I actually have not tested it yet. Oct 25 03:18:07 Oh. Okay. Oct 25 03:18:44 Thank you, again. Oct 25 03:18:59 of course I haven't been able to test it, so be sure to just first run the example as-is to verify it's doing what the comments say it should be doing Oct 25 03:19:48 Okay. Oct 25 03:20:01 I will reply back if something goes awkward. Oct 25 03:22:12 An LED came on and the software ended. Oct 25 03:22:43 ? Oct 25 03:22:52 I just ran the software. Oct 25 03:23:02 Oh...sorry. Oct 25 03:23:05 I got what to do now. Oct 25 03:23:07 Sorry. Oct 25 03:23:13 Hhahaahah. Oct 25 03:23:15 ? Oct 25 03:23:28 I have to call this class in my normal software. Oct 25 03:23:43 import xxxx as xxxx? Oct 25 03:23:50 well I recommend first testing the script standalone Oct 25 03:24:01 which is what I said 10 lines ago Oct 25 03:24:06 I did. It ran one LED for a bit and then ended quickly. Oct 25 03:24:28 but motor1 didn't actually turn? o.O Oct 25 03:24:32 that makes no sense Oct 25 03:24:37 Sorry, please hold. Oct 25 03:24:46 I forgot about the vdd_5v. Please hold. Oct 25 03:24:50 -.- Oct 25 03:24:57 Hahhahaha! Oct 25 03:26:09 Now...I have to set up a service to run this software? Oct 25 03:26:12 Gosh! Oct 25 03:26:14 no Oct 25 03:26:17 Oh? Oct 25 03:26:24 05:23 < zmatt> well I recommend first testing the script standalone Oct 25 03:26:24 05:24 < zmatt> which is what I said 10 lines ago Oct 25 03:26:28 just run it Oct 25 03:26:30 it's a script Oct 25 03:26:31 I did. Oct 25 03:26:43 so did it work? it clearly spells out what is supposed to happen Oct 25 03:26:52 The motors will not turn w/ sys_5v, remember. Oct 25 03:27:10 yes and then you proceeded to fix that Oct 25 03:27:16 I have to plug in the barrel jack. Oct 25 03:27:31 Can I plug in the barrel jack and USB at the same time? Oct 25 03:27:36 YES Oct 25 03:27:41 What? Oct 25 03:27:42 ! Oct 25 03:27:48 YES! Oct 25 03:27:52 Okay. Oct 25 03:28:05 sorry, as usual trying to help you is energy-draining and results in irritation Oct 25 03:28:16 I know, man. Oct 25 03:28:21 Sorry for all the confusion. Oct 25 03:29:15 MotorOne went forward and backward. Oct 25 03:29:24 The LED came on. Oct 25 03:30:19 and if you want to use this in your own code (once you've confirmed it works), just copy/paste lines 3-27 (i.e. the imports, the Motor class, and the definitions of motor1..4) into your own code and then you can call motor1.set() as shown in the example Oct 25 03:30:31 And just for reference, screaming "yes" in English is not all that bad, esp. when it is just typed out as YES. Oct 25 03:30:50 in other words it works? it did the things described by the comments? Oct 25 03:30:55 Okay! Oct 25 03:30:57 Yea! Oct 25 03:31:23 good, then hopefully you can take it from here :P Oct 25 03:31:30 Okay. Later for now. Oct 25 04:37:16 zmatt is a lyrical genesis! Oct 25 04:37:39 That sucka goes in reverse many ways now. Wowzers! **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Oct 25 07:27:14 2018 Oct 25 07:38:32 (sticking around after asking the question will help) Oct 25 10:35:29 hello ! Oct 25 10:35:35 anyone here ? Oct 25 10:36:09 lots of people on the list Oct 25 10:36:30 i am struggling with bbb and need some help Oct 25 10:36:32 state your case of emergency and wait for rescue...... Oct 25 10:37:12 :) , ok .. not so lifethreatning case, but a loop of failures may cause a brain clot Oct 25 10:37:34 so , I need to get my bbb to internet , using the usb cable Oct 25 10:37:40 I have debian stretch in there Oct 25 10:38:19 PC is windows 10 Oct 25 10:38:59 have tried googling arnd, but the damn thing just doesnt get a ping 8.8.8.8 response Oct 25 10:39:25 (cannot help with that, sry. i just plug ethernet it) Oct 25 10:39:31 (and i don't use windows) Oct 25 10:40:10 hmm.. ill plug out my collegues ethernet.. let him have some fun too Oct 25 17:23:36 hello Oct 25 19:04:19 Hello Oct 25 19:04:45 where can I purchase the BB-BONE-000 Oct 25 19:08:52 uri: ehh, what do you mean Oct 25 19:09:24 that looks like a piece of a filename Oct 26 00:27:34 BB won't boot after enabling an overlay for my ADC, should I just flash it or is there another alternative to disable the overlay? Behaves the same with no external hardware connected Oct 26 00:28:09 suprothunderbolt: boot from sd card, fix /boot/uEnv.txt on eMMC (or remove the overlay) Oct 26 00:29:58 if you've got a flasher sdimage can you just edit it's boot line to make it a boot image instead? Oct 26 00:45:01 yes if you comment out that line in /boot/uEnv.txt again you'll have a normal bootable sd card again Oct 26 00:45:35 cool Oct 26 01:04:19 genesis? Oct 26 02:31:13 so I've got my ASOC machine driver and overlay all running, everything probes correctly and modules are loaded, things appear in sys but cat /proc/asound/cards --- no soundcards --- Oct 26 02:31:57 is alsa debugging visible somewhere? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Oct 26 02:59:59 2018
