Jun 17 15:10:02 <kremlin> m
Jun 17 20:55:44 <ok> hello
Jun 17 20:56:08 <ok> no lights on bela mini
Jun 17 20:56:22 <ok> anyone knows how to solve it
Jun 17 20:56:24 <ok> ?
Jun 17 21:02:30 <zmatt> ok: this isn't a support channel for the bela mini (I had to google to find out what it is), but generally speaking if the power led doesn't turn on then either there's no power (i.e. a problem with the power supply) or the board is dead
Jun 17 21:04:23 <ok> its dead then
Jun 17 21:04:26 <ok> thanks
Jun 17 21:05:19 <zmatt> if the mini cape can be separated from the pocketbeagle (I'm not sure based on the photos) then you could also try powering the pocketbeagle separately
Jun 17 21:06:27 <zmatt> did you do anything in particular to end up in this state, or was it dead on arrival?
Jun 17 21:07:56 <ok> it was running a patch powered from a powerbank
Jun 17 21:08:03 <ok> and it was getting hit
Jun 17 21:08:05 <ok> hot
Jun 17 21:08:11 <ok> a bit
Jun 17 21:08:35 <ok> when i plug the midi controller into it , the controller powers up though
Jun 17 21:08:49 <ok> now
Jun 17 21:09:11 <ok> is there a hard reset of some sort i can try.
Jun 17 21:09:12 <ok> ?
Jun 17 21:09:18 <ok> maybe you know
Jun 17 21:09:41 <ok> there is a jumper wire way but not for bela mini
Jun 17 21:10:23 <ok> when i plug it in there is one blink og led
Jun 17 21:10:26 <ok> of led
Jun 17 21:10:29 <ok> still
Jun 17 21:11:20 <zmatt> a brief blink of the power led is an indication of a short-circuit.  if this cannot be explained by external connections, then this is typically due to internal damage of the processor
Jun 17 21:11:34 <zmatt> typically as a result of some pin being abused (overvoltage or overcurrent)
Jun 17 21:12:47 <zmatt> the midi controller plugs into usb?
Jun 17 21:12:55 <ok> yes
Jun 17 21:13:20 <zmatt> yeah it looks like there's no usb power switch, so the 5v of that usb port simply connects directly to the 5v provided to the pocketbeagle
Jun 17 21:13:35 <zmatt> which is why the midi controller still powers on
Jun 17 21:21:14 <zmatt> ehh wtf, the bela mini drives two leds directly by processor pins with only 33 ohm series resistors
Jun 17 21:32:05 <zmatt> oh he left
Jun 17 23:42:30 <set_> I just found the hangman game in python!
Jun 17 23:42:33 <set_> Nice.
Jun 17 23:44:01 <set_> I tested it. It works!
Jun 17 23:44:19 <set_> The BBB processes Python nicely.
Jun 17 23:44:59 <set_> Is anyone using the BBBlue for ArduCopter at all?
Jun 17 23:45:36 <set_> I am asking b/c the shaft seems to be given to me by the ardupilot people, i.e. at least their open community on assistance.
Jun 17 23:52:48 <set_> I guess I will just give up ardupilot stuff. It seems like a waste.
Jun 17 23:56:07 <set_> Is anyone using dronekit or another version of MavLink?
Jun 17 23:59:18 <set_> I guess I can just use the dc motors if necessary on the BBBlue instead. Blah!
Jun 18 00:12:44 <rcn-ee[m]> set_: ArduCopter doesn't support the librobotcontrol.
Jun 18 00:13:19 <rcn-ee[m]> mirko and his forum is the best place, but they are busy doing there own custom board designs..
Jun 18 00:15:28 <set_> Oh. Okay.
Jun 18 00:15:51 <set_> I figured something was going on. No one was answering. As usual. I was discussing things to myself again.
Jun 18 00:17:16 <rcn-ee[m]> Well, Ardu* group that's normal, it's more about, what 'you' can provide to them, as everyone is working on something custom..
Jun 18 00:17:38 <set_> Aw.
Jun 18 00:17:47 <set_> I have been working on flying drones w/ the BBBlue.
Jun 18 00:18:01 <set_> Failing miserably every chance I can get.
Jun 18 00:18:10 <rcn-ee[m]> There stack goes from 8bit AVr's, 32bit STM32's, and Pi's, and BBB's..
Jun 18 00:18:17 <set_> Yep.
Jun 18 00:18:46 <set_> I looked into DroneKit too. The pypi repo only supports the python2 still.
Jun 18 00:18:56 <set_> I guess I will find a new console image and try arducopter again.
Jun 18 00:19:45 <rcn-ee[m]> try: https://github.com/mirkix/ardupilotblue but use his directions as-is..
Jun 18 00:21:11 <set_> Okay. I tried imfatant/test at github. That link is broken for now for the console image. I will try that link from mirkix.
Jun 18 00:23:14 <rcn-ee[m]> mirkix ported Ardu* too all the Beagle's, use his word..
Jun 18 00:24:07 <set_> Okay.
Jun 18 00:24:13 <set_> I will use the pru this time.
Jun 18 00:24:29 <set_> I was using the UART4 port on the BBBlue instead.
Jun 18 00:25:10 <set_> w/out the OrangeRx receiver.
Jun 18 00:25:28 <set_> FrSky rx is what i used.
