**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Nov 23 02:59:57 2020 Nov 23 16:51:05 How did you guys get comfortable with ssh and bash commands and stuff? Is there a book you read or specific youtube series. Just to get the basics down I mean Nov 23 17:55:26 I'm getting a strange error throuhg putty, it won't let me connect to my board via com or ssh anymore Nov 23 17:55:29 through* Nov 23 18:08:49 tip: if you actually want help with a problem it will helps to actually describe it concretely, include the exact error message. merely announcing you're "getting a strange error" is not useful and typically won't get you any reply Nov 23 18:10:26 I'm tempted to write a program that has just one error message: "Well, that's strange." Nov 23 18:10:37 whatever goes wrong Nov 23 18:11:33 "Meh" Nov 23 18:12:51 That would be funny, also I'm reflashing the board to see if that will fix it. Also, the guy didn't want me to flash via usb or anything he just wanted me to run the generic package updates and stuff. English isn't his first language, it was just miscommunication Nov 23 18:13:14 I told you it was a weird request :P Nov 23 18:15:23 and of course with a system from 2016 you should just reflash to latest if possible instead of merely updating packages Nov 23 18:15:44 I agree (y) Nov 23 18:16:00 (unless the system has stuff that needs to be preserved, but that's not the impression I got) Nov 23 18:21:22 Yeah that makes sense, I'll make sure to clarify what he means next time Nov 24 00:03:21 ok i got my multi-meter Nov 24 00:03:42 there is no harm in doing continuity test on the BBB right Nov 24 00:12:15 do you think this is good enough Nov 24 00:12:20 https://ibb.co/fC4qXmP Nov 24 00:24:28 evidently it was not Nov 24 00:24:45 i took the craft knife and scraped a bit more Nov 24 00:25:01 now I do not have continuity Nov 24 00:25:07 but still same behavior Nov 24 00:25:43 zmatt: what else can I test Nov 24 00:27:37 is still likely that i would see nothing on the serial Nov 24 01:16:35 Test it! Nov 24 01:17:05 i emailed lor lets see what he says Nov 24 01:17:17 About what? Nov 24 01:17:23 What are you trying to do? Nov 24 01:17:23 what I just wrote Nov 24 01:17:33 DMM testing? Nov 24 01:17:34 work with the compatiblity layer Nov 24 01:17:37 Oh. Nov 24 01:17:38 Okay. Nov 24 01:17:46 brb Nov 24 01:17:49 Fine. Nov 24 02:27:54 Did the new firmware update from the repos break the compatibility w/ the Motor Bridge Cape? Nov 24 02:57:52 set_ the question you should consider is which firmware and what update, before asking said question. Nov 24 02:58:59 Okay. I will check. Nov 24 02:59:23 All I know is that it worked last week and now w/ an update/upgrade, the Cape does not work. I will keep testing. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Nov 24 02:59:57 2020
