**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Feb 09 02:59:57 2020 Feb 09 03:02:35 It is too tight and the servo is on backwards, luckily. Now, I can take it apart and loosen things up a bit while rotating the servo. Feb 09 03:02:52 But...I will go and get the datasheet again beforehand. Feb 09 03:04:32 also did you test the full range of the servo. Backwards is likely bad Feb 09 03:07:33 I did not test it. I had it going from 180 to 0 degrees. Feb 09 03:07:40 Supposedly. Feb 09 03:08:06 The "datasheet" is here: http://www.es.co.th/Schemetic/PDF/ET-SERVO-S3003.PDF. Feb 09 03:08:13 I could not find another site, yet. Feb 09 03:09:35 It says rotational range equals 60 degrees. Feb 09 03:11:50 are you sure that's not part of the speed spec IE 60 degrees / 1.2 sec or something? Feb 09 03:13:03 I found two .pdf files online, i.e. each which have similar specs. but neither are the same. Feb 09 03:13:23 It is an older model that is not any longer sold by specific companies. Feb 09 03:14:07 It may be 60/2. Feb 09 03:14:21 One datasheet states that idea. Feb 09 03:14:35 It looks like both were made up. Feb 09 03:15:53 I guess I will invest in another motor. Aw! Feb 09 03:18:15 I would suggest you have a controlled step from 90 to 0 and then 90 to 180. If you can wait for hitting enter in the program on each step that would work well. I expect the servo to move +-45 degrees from 90 so technical 135 to 180 and 45 to 0 are the ranges you need to verify. Do you know the range or rotation the gripper needs? Feb 09 03:20:32 No... Feb 09 03:20:35 I do not know. Feb 09 03:20:55 I do not know the rotation needed for the Gripper. Feb 09 03:24:40 Blah. I am beat. I will try to plug in once more and do some things. Feb 09 03:30:18 GenTooMan: Believe this or not... Feb 09 03:30:58 It does not have full 0 to 180 degree access when powered down but it can go one way to a specific point before OR after I run some source. Feb 09 03:32:09 For example, I run source. The source stops and the servo can be altered to a specific point in 0 to 180 degrees but in only one way. Feb 09 03:33:43 Forget it for tonight. I need to put the servo on correctly w/ the Gripper before I test any further. Feb 09 03:39:16 probably a good idea Feb 09 03:41:07 mechanics! Feb 09 03:44:43 Well good night. I suggest before you throw things together thing about what you 'want to do' :D I'm not scolding you I am hoping you will make more reasoned choices. Feb 09 03:45:15 okay. thank you Feb 09 03:46:24 thing = think ... ugh ... need to sleep better. Feb 09 03:52:59 Got it. Feb 09 03:53:01 OKay. Feb 09 04:24:17 Bum servo. Feb 09 04:24:32 I could not give up just yet. It was the servo. The machine works fine now. Feb 09 04:26:45 Now, the servo that works returns to 90 degrees once the source starts again. Feb 09 04:27:19 I think this is why these are out-dated. Feb 09 04:59:48 Whelp, the servo can move 60 degrees in its current state w/out error. Nice but blah. Feb 09 05:00:06 I can use the BBG w/ the MotorCape at 5v to handle the servo. Feb 09 05:00:21 Sorry. MotorCape = Motor Bridge Cape. Feb 09 05:11:26 I wonder why they made this servo to only handle 60 degrees at a time. Anyway, I figured it out w/ the BBG and Motor Bridge Cape. Boy! Feb 09 17:31:38 A little bit of testing gives results huh? Feb 09 18:19:06 Hi everyone! Is there anyone knowing a little about ai and deep learning? Feb 09 21:36:26 Hey? Feb 09 21:36:26 Oh. Feb 09 21:37:47 Whelp. There they go. Feb 09 22:18:16 I done it again. The servo Gripper only works from angle 0 to angle 90. Blah. Feb 09 22:19:38 Now, I need to find some flags for my bot, e.g. Maker Faire flag and a ULL flag (extra tiny)! Feb 09 22:19:39 Boy! Feb 09 23:31:04 Is tensorflow on the AI board yet w/ the image? Feb 09 23:59:24 I will test but I think Keras is needed to support the tensorflow package. I will see. Feb 09 23:59:48 I shan't ask :D Feb 09 23:59:58 GenTooMan: Hey! Feb 10 00:00:07 I got the Gripper mech. to work. Feb 10 00:00:31 0 to 90 degrees is fully open and fully closed. Feb 10 00:00:54 So, 0 is fully open and 90 degress if closed. Feb 10 00:01:18 I did not have it constructed incorrectly either. I had to put it back the way I had it. Feb 10 00:01:30 Oops. Feb 10 00:02:24 Nope. No tensorflow. Feb 10 00:02:50 I think, as I recall, the package needs to be associated w/ Debian 10 b/c of dependencies. Feb 10 00:04:50 The package says pip needs to be greater than 19.0. But, that is not the truth. There are way too many deps. to just rely on the pip install. Feb 10 00:05:18 Hey. Is google groups being purged? Feb 10 00:06:01 I ask b/c I have not been able to get to that page from BBB.io/forums. Feb 10 00:06:31 Ha. Feb 10 00:08:00 If you all want me to keep trying to install it, let me know. I have time. Feb 10 00:08:09 I can try w/ Buster, per se. Feb 10 00:17:56 First time note, something is wrong w/ Cloud9 w/ the ip addr from the BBB.io boards. Feb 10 00:18:30 I look up source listed on the Cloud9 IDE online and try to alter it. This is where things get funny. The source is "meshing." Feb 10 00:18:39 If someone wants a photo, let me know. Feb 10 00:20:27 bbl Feb 10 02:01:52 Scope now acquired (thank Goodness). Just a cheap 4 channel 100MHz scope with built in serial decoding. Finally I can test the output of my FPGA fiddling etc. Feb 10 02:02:55 \o/ gratz Feb 10 02:03:01 zmatt I assume QSPI isn't available on the BBB so can one tweak the PRU and a few IO pins into doing QSPI? I mostly want to use it for interfacing into an FPGA. Feb 10 02:05:40 veremitz yeah well worth $500 us if I can see what's going on with signals. Obviously no THD or anything complex supported but it does have real 1GHz sampled inputs for 4 channels. Feb 10 02:06:06 what ya get? Feb 10 02:06:21 I shelled out for a portable 'scope last year, ex-demo Feb 10 02:06:34 a little bitmore expensive, but mmm nice bit of kit Feb 10 02:09:12 https://siglentna.com/digital-oscilloscopes/sds1000x-e-series-super-phosphor-oscilloscopes/ SDS1104X-E Feb 10 02:10:12 Originally I was going to get Rigol but they charge for decoding... although there MSO option is cheaper. I just need serial decoding and a scope at the moment. Feb 10 02:11:30 yup Feb 10 02:12:36 not bad widget Feb 10 02:18:51 Nope not bad, which means it's better than what I have (nothing). IT has LAN support free also so that means I can run it from my Desktop also. Feb 10 02:19:37 It does mean I can do stuff without wringing my hands. I hate wasting time like that. Feb 10 02:22:40 Neat. Feb 10 02:39:29 so later came at intervals of 3 hours. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Feb 10 02:59:58 2020
