May 02 16:35:48 <zeekhuge> Hello everyone !
May 02 16:36:04 <m_w> and speel yas
May 02 16:36:12 <anirban1998[m]> 😂
May 02 16:38:53 <anirban1998[m]> When will the hardware reach us? Really excited to get a hold of it...
May 02 16:40:10 <m_w> soon
May 02 16:40:25 <ravikp7> usually in a week after shipping, if customs don't screw it up..
May 02 16:41:04 <anujdeshpande[m]> anirban1998: have you replied to hendersa's mail yet??
May 02 16:41:34 <anirban1998[m]> About the shipping address? Yeah
May 02 16:42:19 <anujdeshpande[m]> No the general intro mail to which everyone was cc'd
May 02 16:42:53 <anirban1998[m]> Yeah replied to his mail
May 02 16:44:47 <ds2> anirban1988[m]: can you do a group reply next time?
May 02 16:45:01 <anujdeshpande[m]> anirban1998: if he (or anyone) CC's a bunch of people, make sure you hit reply all :D
May 02 16:46:04 <anirban1998[m]> Ok sorry didn't do it...will do it from next time for sure
May 02 16:47:04 <anujdeshpande[m]> vaishnav98_: you around?
May 02 16:49:11 <ds2> anirban1998[m]: have you cross compiled stuff before?
May 02 16:52:34 <anirban1998[m]> ds2 Don't have much experience on it...only performed the cross compilation task that was mentioned in the ideas page and sent a PR
May 02 16:54:43 <anujdeshpande[m]> vaishnav98_: make sure you are here for the meetings without fail! Install the riot app if you'll be mobile !! Also, click on that link and make sure you have reminders setup
May 02 16:55:10 <ds2> anirban1988[m]: it may be good to get familiar with it... IIRC - sphinx is a bit large to do native compile
May 02 16:57:54 <m_w> pocketsphinx?
May 02 16:58:04 <anirban1998[m]> ds2 Ok I will surely start working on it...
May 02 16:59:38 <ds2> both regular and pocket versions
May 02 17:00:04 <m_w> here is an old OE based demo: http://www.laplinker.com/2013/10/step-by-step-guide-beagle-bone-black.html
May 02 17:01:04 <abhishek_[m]> All students: Have you submitted your request for boards?
May 02 17:01:07 <anirban1998[m]> I will start getting acquainted with cross compilation...meanwhile have joined the telegram group for CMU Sphinx
May 02 17:01:42 <m_w> https://www.hackster.io/fcooper27/beaglealexa-56f174
May 02 17:02:02 <abhishek_[m]> muneeb17: Any recent updates?
May 02 17:03:24 <m_w> https://www.hackster.io/beaglefriends-octavosystems/pocketbeagle-alexa-0425b6
May 02 17:05:54 <ravikp7> abhishek_: I'm good to go with boards received last year
May 02 17:10:53 <anirban1998[m]> Abhishek_:  Have submitted the response in the form and also mailed hendersa
May 02 17:14:57 <abhishek_[m]> What about vaishnav98_ ?
May 02 17:15:18 <anirban1998[m]> m_w: Thanks for the links!
May 02 17:16:36 <ds2> anirban1988[m]: have you consider hanging around on the channel while you are working so if you get stuck, you won't loose too much time?
May 02 17:17:25 <m_w> anirban1998[m]: no problem
May 02 17:18:41 <anirban1998[m]> I have some doubt regarding the game on Speak and Spell which deals with encryptions...didn't get any clear idea about it from the videos on Speak and Spell...so will try to make the game in my own way?
May 02 17:19:53 <anirban1998[m]> ds2 Sure I will hang around in the channel...will require guidance whenever I get stuck
May 02 17:20:07 <anirban1998[m]> Or suggestions to improve
May 02 17:22:34 <m_w> it is a kids toy so it probably isn't hard encyption :)
May 02 17:23:12 <ds2> anirbaan1998[m]: regarding the encryptions, have you seen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speak_&_Spell_(game)
May 02 17:23:12 <m_w> jumble perhaps
May 02 17:23:26 <ds2> cesar cipher
May 02 17:24:14 <m_w> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_cipher
May 02 17:24:36 <zeekhuge> muneeb17: muneeb17_ : if you do not know it already, we have a IRC meeting every Wednesday at 10 PM IST. Failing to be here = -ve points.
May 02 17:24:36 <zeekhuge> AFAIR I haven't seen you in any of the meetings. Its community bonding period after all.
May 02 17:25:37 <muneeb17> zeekhuge: Yeah, I forgot about that. With final exams and all. Will try to be here for sure from now on.
May 02 17:25:59 <zeekhuge> All students: the selections are not final. If one fails to 'bond' during the bonding period. Then most likely be out of the program, as per the rules.
May 02 17:27:15 <zeekhuge> muneeb17: that can be excused if informed.
May 02 17:27:35 <zeekhuge> muneeb17: when is your last exam ?
May 02 17:27:47 <muneeb17> zeekhuge: 14th
May 02 17:28:03 <anirban1998[m]> Ok  thanks... I was just thinking to make the game such that it gives a word and it's encryption...and asks to encrypt another word...the children will get a hint as how to encrypt
May 02 17:29:00 <muneeb17> zeekhuge: would you like something to be added/modified to the proposal
May 02 17:29:53 <anirban1998[m]> Even my exams are going on...will finish on 9th...after that will start working full fledged
May 02 17:30:46 <zeekhuge> muneeb17: yes. Mostly, add PyPruss like binding for other languages too.
May 02 17:31:03 <zeekhuge> Also, I would want you to compile and load kernel onto bbb
May 02 17:31:26 <zeekhuge> Before the coding starts
May 02 17:31:35 <zeekhuge> That will help you to get the DMA project working
May 02 17:31:45 <muneeb17> zeekhuge: Will do that.
May 02 17:31:45 <zeekhuge> As its mostly in the form of patches
May 02 17:32:28 <muneeb17> zeekhuge: what other languages are you thinking of
May 02 17:33:24 <vaishnav98_> anujdeshpande[m]: jkridner[m] abhishek_[m] sorry, I was not able to attend the meeting on time today, I will make sure that it won't happen again.
May 02 17:33:29 <ds2> anirban1988[m]: do you know about the arecord command? and how to at least use a tool like audacity to look at a .wav file?
May 02 17:34:01 <vaishnav98_> abhishek_[m]: I have submitted the shipping details in the form
May 02 17:34:20 <muneeb17> abhishek_: I too have submitted the details
May 02 17:37:25 <abhishek_[m]> muneeb17: What ZeekHute said, get the PRU DMA project up and running. Also example codes and documentation of what you have done and are going to do are very important.
May 02 17:37:35 <abhishek_[m]> *ZeekHuge
May 02 17:39:20 <muneeb17> abhishek_: Sure. Will do that
May 02 17:39:20 <abhishek_[m]> So provide examples. Come up with a list of what apps you want on the PRU side and corresponding PyPruss bindings exampl code
May 02 17:40:12 <muneeb17> yeah that would be nice
May 02 17:41:13 <abhishek_[m]> Update the eLinux proposal page and let me and ZeekHuge know so that we can give feedback.
May 02 17:41:39 <abhishek_[m]> Also you have a third mentor, pmezydlo
May 02 17:42:07 <abhishek_[m]> Keep us all in Cc in any email communication
May 02 17:43:00 <muneeb17> Yeah, I'll get started with the proposal right away. I'll also send a mail and 'cc' all the mentors.
May 02 17:44:13 <muneeb17> Also about the intro video, when are we supposed to upload it
May 02 17:45:20 <vaishnav98_> jkridner[m]: anujdeshpande[m] : m_w: https://github.com/vaishnav98/bonescript/tree/master/test/test-ffi_spi
May 02 17:45:26 <abhishek_[m]> Expected to upload the intro video before the coding period begins
May 02 17:45:28 <vaishnav98_> I have tried to implement  an example to provide SPI support using external C function, can you please review it
May 02 17:48:36 <jkridner[m]> seems like no one raised the intro videos.
May 02 17:51:51 <ds2> oh yes... every project should be putting together short video for their project
May 02 17:52:00 <vaishnav98_> `10:12 PM <anujdeshpande[m]>No the general intro mail to which everyone was cc'd`
May 02 17:52:04 <vaishnav98_> anujdeshpande[m] abhishek_[m]  was this mail sent to everyone? I didn't receive it
May 02 17:52:29 <zeekhuge> muneeb17: what other languages do you know of ? Maybe NodeJS, Rust, C/C++.
May 02 17:52:29 <ds2> vaishnav98_: that was meant to be everyone in the speak and spell project
May 02 17:53:02 <jkridner[m]> vaishnav98_: have you seen my bus wrapper code in my.js? Seems a lot of it needs to be rethought, but there are some ideas in there about opening modules that consume pins.
May 02 17:53:05 <muneeb17> zeekhuge: I know C/C++ and beginner level nodejs
May 02 17:53:21 <vaishnav98_> ds2: ok, Thank you :)
May 02 17:53:25 <jkridner[m]> vaishnav98_: a critical analysis of it and how I2C and UART were added is very welcome.
May 02 17:53:30 <muneeb17> zeekhuge: learning languages wont be much of a problem
May 02 17:54:44 <zeekhuge> muneeb17  For now only add (in your proposal) languages that you already know .
May 02 17:54:45 <jkridner[m]> vaishnav98_: for emonstrating ffi, your code seems fine, but it is just more a generic ffi demo for node.js, not something that exposes MRAA interfaces or shows integration of bonescript's pin managment.
May 02 17:55:21 <muneeb17> zeekhuge: Ok.
May 02 17:56:32 <anirban1998[m]> Any suggestions on improvement on my project proposal?
May 02 17:59:25 <vaishnav98_> jkridner[m]: I have read through the bus wrapper code in my.js, sure i will review the code
May 02 18:03:45 <jkridner[m]> anujdeshpande: any thoughts on the scope of the bug? I think originally it was envisioned to connect up to the same C APIs as Userspace-Arduino, but does this still make sense with the MRAA project out there now? My main goals are to make sure that BoneScript is 1) a way to see an interface working quickly/easily (ie., "just works"), 2) an example of the system integration required to talk to various
May 02 18:03:46 <jkridner[m]> devices/interface (ie. understanding *why* it works) and 3) contains lots of working examples (enables community collaboration). Thoughts?
May 02 18:05:41 <vaishnav98_> jkridner[m]: I tried to create this example just to try ffi on something related , my next step is to achieve first class support with MRAA
May 02 18:08:22 <anujdeshpande[m]> jkridner: I think it makes sense to go with MRAA simply because it's more actively developed. Userspace Arduino will unfortunately come with a lot of re-ignition efforts from making-it-visible point of vire
May 02 18:08:26 <anujdeshpande[m]> *view
May 02 18:09:05 <anujdeshpande[m]> MRAA would also make it easy for us to get a lot more examples with little or no effort - so we can stick to that imo
May 02 18:10:49 <anujdeshpande[m]> vaishnav98_: the mail in question was sent by a mentor to another student. Having said that please send an introductory mail to the mailing list just to say hi to all the people there. there might be former mentors and students there too - who would love to hear about what you have planned :)
May 02 18:12:04 <anujdeshpande[m]> vaishnav98_: Please work on the video this week! Shouldn't take more than half an evening :D
May 02 18:17:47 <vaishnav98_> anujdeshpande[m]: sure, I will send an introductory mail to the list, I will complete the video presentation this week itself
May 02 18:18:26 <anujdeshpande[m]> awesome!
May 02 20:59:00 <Sidharth> Hey ds2
