Nov 18 04:08:01 <MrRSquared> Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help with my issues getting a new Beaglebone Blue working.
Nov 18 04:08:41 <zmatt> the way to find out is by asking your question (and having patience. plenty of knowledgable people here, but they usually only glance at chat occasionally)
Nov 18 04:11:21 <MrRSquared> Thanks.  So, ultimately I want to get the python library rcpy running, but I cannot even get the non-wrapped version of libgpio  to work.
Nov 18 04:11:46 <MrRSquared> This is the error I get. ERROR in rc_adc_init, failed to open iio adc interface : No such file or directory Perhaps kernel or device tree is too old ERROR: failed to run rc_init_adc()
Nov 18 04:12:18 <zmatt> are you running the latest image? (check: cat /etc/dogtag)
Nov 18 04:12:29 <zmatt> also, are you booted from sd card or eMMC ?
Nov 18 04:13:22 <MrRSquared> So, I was (booted from SD), but tried the original firmware emc, and it worked.
Nov 18 04:13:51 <MrRSquared> so, I tried and older image, and it worked from sd, but when I ran sudo apt get update, now I get the same error
Nov 18 04:13:54 <MrRSquared> BeagleBoard.org Debian Image 2018-03-05
Nov 18 04:14:01 <MrRSquared> This is the current one.
Nov 18 04:15:43 <zmatt> in general, booting from sd card while an old system is installed on eMMC may result in problems, since it'll unfortunately use the bootloader on eMMC to boot the system on sd card.  this may result in a subtly wrong device tree being composed
Nov 18 04:15:59 <zmatt> reflashing or erasing eMMC fixes such problems
Nov 18 04:16:18 <zmatt> (I can't say for sure if your problem is caused by this, although it might very well be)
Nov 18 04:17:47 <MrRSquared> Thank you.  That makes sense.  I should add that I am getting similar errors whenever I try to use either python or c to control anything but the leds.
Nov 18 04:18:13 <MrRSquared> I have tried the Adafruit library and rcpy.
Nov 18 04:18:14 <zmatt> does sound like device tree problems
Nov 18 04:18:32 <zmatt> you can wipe eMMC using: sudo blkdiscard /dev/mmcblk1
Nov 18 04:18:57 <MrRSquared> When I try to install rcpy on the newest release, it says there is a conflict between it and libgpio.
Nov 18 04:19:32 <zmatt> can you pastebin the output?
Nov 18 04:19:47 <MrRSquared> Okay, thank you.  I will try that tonight and follow up the issues from there.
Nov 18 04:20:01 <MrRSquared> Yes, just a sec.
Nov 18 04:20:23 <zmatt> also I don't think I've ever heard of rcpy being used by anyone
Nov 18 04:21:09 <zmatt> it hasn't been updated in 6 months... and the README claims it uses libgpiod which doesn't even work on a beaglebone in its default configuration
Nov 18 04:21:34 <MrRSquared> So, I think that is part of my issue.
Nov 18 04:21:50 <zmatt> (note that libgpio and libgpiod are very different things)
Nov 18 04:21:52 <MrRSquared> Which library can I use to run python?
Nov 18 04:22:34 <zmatt> I have no idea what software people typically use on the blue
Nov 18 04:22:53 <zmatt> I don't actually have a blue myself
Nov 18 04:23:28 <MrRSquared> Okay.  Thank you.  The blue is odd because it does not seem to really have its own API, but uses the older black and robot cape
Nov 18 04:23:50 <zmatt> most of the interfaces are standard linux features anyway rather than being beaglebone-specific
Nov 18 04:24:00 <zmatt> yeah the blue is based on the robotics cape
Nov 18 04:25:32 <MrRSquared> Okay.  Thanks.
Nov 18 20:27:05 <thinkfat> KotH: thanks
Nov 18 20:42:54 <KotH> thinkfat: np
Nov 19 01:28:19 <suprothunderbolt> 2 questions today: Anything specific circuit wise I need to do to get eQEP working properly? At the moment it doesn't track fast movements for me
Nov 19 01:28:43 <suprothunderbolt> and 2: Is there a guide for OpenGL ES2 support?
Nov 19 01:58:12 <ayjay_t> two great questionsssssssssssssss
Nov 19 02:28:46 <suprothunderbolt> I'm downloading the SGX stuff now so hopefully that's useful. I'm hoping to use QtQuick for a ui.
Nov 19 02:43:18 <set_> Hey!
Nov 19 02:43:30 <pweh> heyo
Nov 19 02:43:33 <set_> Me use the BBB!
Nov 19 02:43:37 <set_> I mean. I use the BBB!
Nov 19 02:43:52 <set_> pweh? Are you using that LoadCape yet?
Nov 19 02:44:05 <pweh> pardon?
Nov 19 02:44:27 <set_> Yes Sir/Ma'am, I ordered a LoadCape and I am failing slowly so far.
Nov 19 02:44:45 <pweh> no idea what that is, sorry :p
Nov 19 02:44:50 <set_> Oh!
Nov 19 02:44:54 <set_> Okay. no issue.
Nov 19 02:45:05 <set_> pweh? What are you working on?
Nov 19 02:45:43 <pweh> nothing really, was gonna learn a bit of python
Nov 19 02:45:46 <pweh> yourself?
Nov 19 02:46:05 <set_> Cool! Oh, I am working w/ a couple of Capes and trying to function w/out flustering.
Nov 19 02:46:17 <pweh> oh sounds cool
Nov 19 02:46:20 <set_> Yep.
Nov 19 02:46:30 <set_> I got the MotorCape from GHI.
Nov 19 02:46:59 <set_> It is fun. There is this fellow that likes to answer in here. He had a wrapper laying around and gave it me.
Nov 19 02:47:09 <set_> Now! I am able to move in reverse.
Nov 19 02:48:15 <set_> I typed up some odd Python file in Flask w/ .html and bootstrap!
Nov 19 02:48:44 <set_> ...
Nov 19 02:48:58 <set_> The new images must come w/ it already onboard.
Nov 19 02:49:18 <set_> bootstrap is hard to get on the BBB these days b/c of popper.js and jQuery.
Nov 19 02:52:09 <set_> anyway. Off to the bump and grind. Yea boy!
Nov 19 02:52:15 <set_> BBB!
