Feb 20 04:50:08 <deepanshuG> hello everyone. Here is what I have done.
Feb 20 04:50:56 <deepanshuG> 1. Familiarized my self with the various beagleboards
Feb 20 04:51:13 <deepanshuG> Learned how to do basic network setup in in beagleboard black.
Feb 20 04:51:41 <deepanshuG> Then from the idea list i find BeagleBone GPU offload idea interesting
Feb 20 04:52:09 <deepanshuG> so now reading thebookofshaders
Feb 20 04:52:43 <deepanshuG> anything that you all would like to suggest will be helpful.
Feb 20 05:05:46 <ianuj03> Can you name some of the books
Feb 20 05:07:31 <deepanshuG> thats the name itself :)
Feb 20 05:07:33 <deepanshuG>  http://thebookofshaders.com/
Feb 20 05:08:01 <deepanshuG> its given on their idea list page
Feb 20 05:39:45 <ianuj03> cool thanks. is there any other
Feb 20 07:31:20 <ravikp7> Abhishek_: Hi, need help with wireshark, I'm capturing the usb bus, but not getting detailed protocol info like yours
Feb 20 18:37:02 <Anirban> jkridner: went through the video of Speak and Spell, the games that were mostly there were fill in the blanks with letters, spell a word, and pronouce a word...what improvements could be expected in these in the project?
Feb 20 18:39:25 <Anirban> Just wanted to check out if any additional functionality could be given relevant to today's world
Feb 20 21:17:30 <hypernome> I have completed the cross compilation part what next to do
Feb 20 21:17:41 <jkridner> hypernome: as a new contributor to BeagleBoard.org, this is a great place to start.
Feb 20 21:17:59 <jkridner> sweet! that is a good little test of basic skills.
Feb 20 21:18:17 <hypernome> Ty so much , but what next to do
Feb 20 21:18:30 <jkridner> please feel free to introduce yourself once or twice to this group.
Feb 20 21:18:43 <jkridner> so, you've done all the step-by-step in https://beagleboard.org/gsoc?
Feb 20 21:19:03 <jkridner> one of the big things to do is start getting into technical discussions with this whole group about your project.
Feb 20 21:19:21 <hypernome> Hello I am Amitash Nanda,currently pursuing a bachelor in technology at CET, Bhubaneswar located in India. I am an electronics hobbyist and robotics enthusiast.I work on Arduino and other microcontroller and have done a lot of projects as well as have a hands-on experience on Python programming
Feb 20 21:20:03 <jkridner> don't hesitate to do the same in #beagle, but be a little more conscienscous(sp?) of people's time there until they really get engaged.
Feb 20 21:20:55 <hypernome> yes I have done all step-by-step procedure
Feb 20 21:21:28 * jkridner is thinking a good set of docs on using Grove modules and mikroBus Clicks on the various boards would really help people.
Feb 20 21:21:42 <jkridner> but docs aren't coding projects.
Feb 20 21:21:49 <jkridner> but I suppose a set of device-tree overlays and some kind of automated configuration tool would be.
Feb 20 21:22:24 <hypernome> I want to work on Working prototype sonic anemometer.
Feb 20 21:22:28 * jkridner wishes X15 had a mikroBUS, GVS, Grove, etc. opto-isolated type of add-on board. :-(
Feb 20 21:23:05 <jkridner> cool. I think some other students are looking at the anemometer as well.
Feb 20 21:23:18 <jkridner> not sure if ka6sox has been around much.
Feb 20 21:23:38 * jkridner looks at nerdboy
Feb 20 21:24:07 <hypernome> Actually I have started working upon that learning basic concepts to increase sensitivity and accuracy of anemometer.
Feb 20 21:24:44 <hypernome> I have beaglebone with me
Feb 20 21:25:03 <StephanieLC> ka6sox has not been around much, I think helping people w/ disaster recovery has absorbed his time
Feb 20 21:26:05 * nerdboy looks at jkridner o.O
Feb 20 21:26:20 <nerdboy> i think StephanieLC is primary for now...
Feb 20 21:26:32 <nerdboy> what happened to wormo?
Feb 20 21:26:51 <jkridner> So StephanieLC is looking to be primary mentor for that one? Is she around?
Feb 20 21:26:56 <StephanieLC> I thought I changed to be more easily github associated
Feb 20 21:26:58 <hypernome> #nerdboy Please guide me how to start with contributing
Feb 20 21:27:10 <StephanieLC> but I think sjlc was already taken
Feb 20 21:28:17 <Wormo> I can be Wormo if it's less confusing
Feb 20 21:28:45 <nerdboy> i just thought you liked Wormo
Feb 20 21:28:58 <hypernome> Sir, please guide me what to do next as I am much curious to work upon the project
Feb 20 21:29:03 <Wormo> I do, nick name from my pop who is my first tech mentor
Feb 20 21:29:20 <nerdboy> the sonic anemometer project is a little more complicated than it looks
Feb 20 21:29:49 <nerdboy> more than *we* thought it was apparently
Feb 20 21:29:58 * Wormo nods
Feb 20 21:30:00 <hypernome> Still,I will work upon it, more complexity more to learn
Feb 20 21:30:07 <nerdboy> that plus herding cats is always weird...
Feb 20 21:30:28 <nerdboy> take a look at the qcn one?
Feb 20 21:30:41 <jkridner> Hi Wormo. Thanks for closing the nick loop for me.
Feb 20 21:30:46 <nerdboy> that's more software-y (but still technical)
Feb 20 21:31:40 <nerdboy> a lot of qcn users already
Feb 20 21:32:33 <Wormo> Yes uses existing hardware instead of having to come up with prototype hardware
Feb 20 21:32:34 <nerdboy> the stanford project is over but it should be alive-and-well at usc
Feb 20 21:33:03 <hypernome> Then on which project I can work?
Feb 20 21:33:47 <Wormo> for anemometer excellent hardware skills would be useful to get a working setup out of the way quickly
Feb 20 21:34:46 <Wormo> as in better than my skills as embedded software engineer (say a young m_w or ds2 in school might have been able to handle it)
Feb 20 21:35:12 <m_w> :)
Feb 20 21:35:41 <Wormo> troubleshooting circuits without teaming up with a hardware partner is not my thing
Feb 20 21:36:24 <m_w> wouldn't it be better to get the hardware ready now before the GSoC starts?
Feb 20 21:36:24 <Wormo> if the test setup is working hardware-wise, I'm good with using analyzers and jtag debuggers to track down low-level software problems
Feb 20 21:36:50 <Wormo> it would be excellent idea for somebody who is up for it
Feb 20 21:36:54 <m_w> similar to what we did for the Beaglewire
Feb 20 21:37:09 <hypernome> I am up
Feb 20 21:37:36 <hypernome> I am good in electronics circuitary and hardware stuffs
Feb 20 21:38:23 <Wormo> can you tell us about some of your projects where you had to troubleshoot, rather than working quickly from someone else's online instructions?
Feb 20 21:38:23 <hypernome> I have the beagle bone and can work on other hardware stuffs
Feb 20 21:39:09 <nerdboy> mainly it needs input/output analog circuits
Feb 20 21:40:03 <m_w> this one has a bit of a mechanical aspect too .... how many years in a row for the sonic anemometer now?
Feb 20 21:40:04 <hypernome> ip/op analog circuits can i get the exact problem statement
Feb 20 21:40:12 <nerdboy> limiting/scaling input signals to the dac
Feb 20 21:40:28 <Wormo> 2 yrs so far
Feb 20 21:41:02 <Wormo> it's not a small goal, if it were easy science teachers would be popping them out for their classes
Feb 20 21:41:10 <hypernome> I can do the part limiting/scaling  input signals ti the DAC
Feb 20 21:41:10 <nerdboy> what did we say last time?  the example was instrumentation filter and the dac is prudaq
Feb 20 21:41:12 <m_w> 3rd times a charm
Feb 20 21:43:02 <hypernome> Actually I am new to the problem part so I need some to do some homework
Feb 20 21:43:26 <nerdboy> last year's github and report-y stuff
Feb 20 21:44:18 <hypernome> Okk , ty so much
Feb 20 21:45:01 <Wormo> The eval boards with transducers took approximately forever to get to India last year
Feb 20 21:45:34 <hypernome> Basically can anyone say me the status of the accuracy and sensitivity
Feb 20 21:47:08 <Wormo> that was not measured yet
Feb 20 21:47:45 <hypernome> Okk
Feb 20 21:48:10 <hypernome> lemme go through the details structure of an anemometer
Feb 20 21:51:54 <hypernome> #wormo I am up for the hardware related issue
Feb 20 21:53:45 <Wormo> hypernome: still interested in your previous project "war stories"
Feb 20 21:54:35 <Wormo> a) gives better idea of how our more hw oriented mentors can engage b) it's fun to hear about
Feb 20 21:55:27 <Wormo> good get-to-know-you topic for fellow embedded enthusiasts
Feb 20 21:56:46 <hypernome> war stories I could not get you
Feb 20 21:58:30 <hypernome> can we give ideas of our own?
Feb 20 21:58:31 <nerdboy> she means "tel us about a project..."
Feb 20 21:58:40 <m_w> hypernome, tell us about other hardware projects
Feb 20 21:58:44 <nerdboy> *tell even
Feb 20 21:59:35 <hypernome> can we use beaglebone to automate train track switching
Feb 20 21:59:58 <Wormo> yes previous hw projects that were fun, frustrating, whatever
Feb 20 22:00:10 <Wormo> could be for school or hobby
Feb 20 22:02:14 <hypernome> any suggestion from you then which we can work
Feb 20 22:04:47 <hypernome> anyone alive? Does anyone have any idea?
Feb 20 22:06:41 <hypernome> what about the pocket beagle
Feb 20 22:28:10 <jkridner[m]> hypernome: what open source software do train enthusiasts use now? find out how using a PocketBeagle can make it better and propose what code needs to be written.
Feb 21 00:07:51 <ds2> hmmm
