**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Mar 29 02:59:59 2012 Mar 29 04:46:33 Hello, We want to use PS/2 keyboard of custom board having AM335x processor. We don't want to use PS/2 - USB converter for the same. Kindly suggest appropriate solution. Also, we would be interested in the driver part. Mar 29 04:48:12 Hello Mar 29 04:48:53 Anybody with TI StarterWare experience on beaglebone? Mar 29 04:59:24 vipul: USB keyboard? Mar 29 04:59:36 they are 10$ at any Best Buy Mar 29 05:00:14 he wants you to design his bone ps/2 interface solution for him Mar 29 05:00:29 sure give me $5k :) Mar 29 05:00:40 exactly Mar 29 05:01:33 vipul, unless you describe why you want certain things, it's difficult to help you Mar 29 05:01:55 but really, ps/2 is just a bit banging interface...so... Mar 29 05:02:35 koen: PS/2 cape anyone? :) Mar 29 05:03:42 design services for this and other custom boards are available at a modest cost. Mar 29 05:03:48 minimums apply. Mar 29 05:05:31 hi all Mar 29 05:05:48 sorry was having some internet problem Mar 29 05:06:24 We want to use PS/2 keyboard on beaglebone, any suggestions? Mar 29 05:06:38 buy a USB keyboard instead Mar 29 05:06:44 We don't want to use PS/2 to USB converter Mar 29 05:06:51 why not Mar 29 05:07:12 Actually its a development for a new project Mar 29 05:07:27 great, you can just buy USB keyboards then Mar 29 05:07:30 design services for a PS/2 to anything adapter are available Mar 29 05:07:45 Anybody with experience using TI StarterWare on beaglebone? Mar 29 05:08:20 Russ, the requirement is to use PS/2 keyboard Mar 29 05:08:24 why Mar 29 05:08:33 heh Mar 29 05:08:48 i love this channel :) Mar 29 05:08:50 its a customer requirement, who want to use his old keyboard Mar 29 05:09:02 * mranostay facepalms Mar 29 05:09:13 and why can't you put a USB to PS/2 adapter in the box? Mar 29 05:09:41 ds2, i didn't get u. design service? Mar 29 05:09:48 yes, yes he does Mar 29 05:10:04 we all do for money :) Mar 29 05:10:07 why yes... any customizations you need Mar 29 05:10:08 :) Mar 29 05:10:18 * mranostay gets in a bidding war with ds2 :) Mar 29 05:10:32 * ds2 colludes with mranostay Mar 29 05:10:52 actually LTS is required and PS/2 to USB with LTS is not available Mar 29 05:11:05 hello Mar 29 05:11:42 lts? Mar 29 05:11:52 TinyArch: dude that isn't changing anything Mar 29 05:12:00 :) Mar 29 05:12:01 Long term support Mar 29 05:12:09 er ubuntu? Mar 29 05:12:25 vipul, no problem, just buy 6 Mar 29 05:12:32 if one dies, you can replace it Mar 29 05:12:54 What if its a mass production product? Mar 29 05:13:22 then you'll run out of ps/2 keyboards Mar 29 05:13:42 Can anyone suggest interfacing of PS/2 keyboard with GPIOs or any other uC or CPLD Mar 29 05:13:56 ds2 is pretty awesome at that sort of thing Mar 29 05:14:20 *yawn* Mar 29 05:14:32 * mranostay fails to see why PS/2 so important :) Mar 29 05:14:34 *is Mar 29 05:15:19 I'm pretty sure the das keyboard fulfils the need of anyone with a classic keyboard feel desire Mar 29 05:17:00 I'm more along the line of these though http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823191007 Mar 29 05:19:30 * Russ starts to wonder if vipul has a homework assignment Mar 29 05:19:47 hi Does anyone know a good site where I can download prebuilt img file Mar 29 05:19:51 for Angstrom on beagleboard Mar 29 05:19:55 xM rev C Mar 29 05:20:01 ? Mar 29 05:20:15 also, the google foo does not seem strong with him because there are way too many sites describing uC/AT Keyboard interfacing Mar 29 05:20:33 hershey, probably the angstrom image builder Mar 29 05:20:41 how to connect to internet in beagle board with ubuntu 11.04 Mar 29 05:21:00 pray to favorite diety Mar 29 05:21:24 when devine inspiration occurs, connectivity should immediately follow Mar 29 05:21:31 I am writing an autopilot system. but for the GPIOs to work as PWM signal generators I need Angstrom with 2.6.39 kernel or above. Does anyone know a website where I can find that ? Mar 29 05:22:23 what is the default browser location in bagleboard wth ubuntu 11.04 Mar 29 05:22:31 http://lmgtfy.com/?q=angstrom+image+builder Mar 29 05:22:37 next to the lox spread. Mar 29 05:22:44 below the freedom marker Mar 29 05:23:06 bhanu, my homepage is still prodigy Mar 29 05:23:20 I heard something about this geocities thing though Mar 29 05:25:44 * Russ goes to hotbot to check it out Mar 29 05:26:06 Russ: how hot is the desert right now? :D Mar 29 05:26:24 its the nice time of the year Mar 29 05:26:43 high is only 87 tomorrow Mar 29 05:28:56 the sundevils becoming a misnomer? Mar 29 05:29:52 dunno, they have moved away from the whole 'sun' thing Mar 29 05:29:58 the motto is 'fear the fork' Mar 29 05:30:10 I think it has something to do with the freshman 15 Mar 29 05:30:28 they getting into opensource sw development? Mar 29 05:30:29 :D Mar 29 05:30:51 hey, gregkh says stop worrying and learn to love the fork Mar 29 05:40:31 * _tasslehoff_ googled the irclogs and at least partially understands the omap-in-joke about the-gptimer-who-must-not-be-named Mar 29 05:41:06 w00t, I'm officially a member of the I'm not allowed to talk about it club Mar 29 05:44:07 <_tasslehoff_> Is there a secret handshake? Mar 29 05:44:41 dammit, now I have to fly back to learn the secret handshake Mar 29 06:36:38 can anyone give brief description about linux patches Mar 29 06:36:48 *me a Mar 29 06:38:39 sure Mar 29 07:25:06 hi Mar 29 07:25:22 anyone here who is familiar with leopard cameras? Mar 29 07:26:17 i just regocnized that the pinlayout has changed because it does noch match to that one provided by beagleboard-xm manual Mar 29 07:26:46 i.e. the 3MP cam board from leopard Mar 29 07:27:16 in its pinlayout pin1 is D11 but in the beagle manual is it D4 Mar 29 07:28:07 hmm, inst the leopard cam pinout for the leopard board? Mar 29 07:44:15 bonjour la communauté, est ce que le groupe M2BE est la ? Mar 29 07:44:51 M2AE pardon Mar 29 07:48:46 m2AE: qoui? Mar 29 07:49:12 ceci n'est pas une groupe Mar 29 08:09:36 i'm sorry to hear about that Mar 29 08:12:48 French channel? Mar 29 08:13:06 i have no idea what M2AE is Mar 29 08:13:24 i don't know French Mar 29 08:13:42 should attempt to sleep Mar 29 08:14:17 attempt to drink? Mar 29 08:17:36 *yawn* panto's here Mar 29 08:17:42 * mranostay nods off Mar 29 08:17:57 hi there mranostay Mar 29 08:18:09 what are you doing up so late? Mar 29 08:18:33 late it is only 1:20 :) Mar 29 08:18:54 * mranostay zzzz's for real Mar 29 08:22:06 ..? Mar 29 08:48:21 any suggestions regardin poting linux kernel onto beagle board Mar 29 08:48:49 it is already ported. Mar 29 08:49:22 see http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard#Linux_kernel for some inspiration. Mar 29 08:53:05 can u jus briefly describe .why are we using git repository..? Mar 29 08:53:42 because that is where the magic happens. Mar 29 08:54:08 and if you are talking to me, PLEASE at least try to write valid english. its spelled "you", and i have a name. Mar 29 08:54:27 nambiar: nobody forces you to use git Mar 29 08:54:45 sure, most of the support should also be in mainline. Mar 29 08:55:27 and most git servers allow to download a tgz Mar 29 08:56:47 LetoThe2nd: what makes porting of linux kernel different from that of porting Armstrong? Mar 29 08:57:02 you are confused Mar 29 08:57:13 nambiar: no need to port anything. i guess you are talking about "installing" Mar 29 08:57:16 dont take that as an offence :) Mar 29 09:00:23 LetoThe2nd: ok installing. Mar 29 09:03:43 av500:yes ..Iam really confused. suggest me the things that i need to learn before dealing with such projects. Mar 29 09:03:44 ? Mar 29 09:04:46 http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596529680.do Mar 29 09:06:28 nice book Mar 29 09:06:33 * dwery agrees Mar 29 09:07:09 ok Mar 29 09:12:56 I have built a angstrom console image but i want to build a image which has some extra kernel modules like uvcvideo.... how do i modify the .conf file to add modules and packages in the built image. Mar 29 09:13:23 Letothe2nd : ok dude let me check out the book and complete it as soon as possible . Mar 29 10:09:06 ahhh. temporarily gave up on building a bootable angstrom image, archlinuxarm running on the beaglebone now. Mar 29 10:47:55 hi guys, has anyone got svideo working using ubuntu 12.04 beta? Mar 29 10:50:22 anand_, are you sure the modules are not built alrady? Mar 29 10:52:44 there are modules Mar 29 10:52:58 however the don't act the same as 11.10 Mar 29 10:53:13 firstly they don't try to load, you need to set it in xorg.conf Mar 29 10:53:23 and then they can access both tv and dvi Mar 29 10:53:46 oh sorry I ment xvideo not svideo (done that about 100 times today) Mar 29 10:54:09 but they can't access xvideo Mar 29 10:54:32 just a lot of Mar 29 10:54:33 X-Video Extension version 2.2 Mar 29 10:54:33 screen #0 Mar 29 10:54:34 no adaptors present Mar 29 11:19:20 does OE produce any sort of toolchain after an image build? Mar 29 11:19:58 not after, before :) Mar 29 11:21:35 ok. what I mean would I get a gcc cross-compiler as a product of a successful build Mar 29 11:22:23 what distro do you guys think is best for video playback? Mar 29 11:23:04 yes Mar 29 11:26:59 where would it reside in the tmp-angstrom directory, having trouble finding it. Mar 29 11:34:31 hmm Mar 29 11:35:08 something like /oe/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/armv7a/bin Mar 29 11:35:33 there are other ways to extract toolchains, but this is the lazymans approach Mar 29 11:36:11 smells like somebody was talking about PS/2 support here Mar 29 11:36:52 no, idea, i can only talk about the ptxdist/oselas toolchains Mar 29 11:57:30 hmm, don't see it anywhere. I'll go looking through the source and find out what is going on. Perhaps it is not being built. Mar 29 12:00:35 LetoThe2nd: great stuff on the scrollback :) Mar 29 12:06:11 mdp: hm? Mar 29 12:07:42 porting, I presume Mar 29 12:08:01 ah, the classic. Mar 29 12:09:31 is there somebody that have try to build tslib? Mar 29 12:09:43 when i build it says cannot find -lts Mar 29 12:09:57 but there is a link to /usr/lib/ Mar 29 12:26:21 <_tasslehoff_> anyone know if its possible to run the ogre-examples without an x-server? Mar 29 12:27:11 LetoThe2nd: nah, the ps/2 support for bone request Mar 29 12:27:23 mdp: was not me. Mar 29 12:28:21 I just can't predict that crazy stuff that will be said here Mar 29 12:28:31 impossible to make this stuff up Mar 29 12:41:31 people dont like ps/2 to usb adapters? Mar 29 12:41:58 I have to say, ps/2 mice and keyboards are more reliable than usb ones Mar 29 12:42:31 I've never had a ps/2 peripheral randomly disconnect itself Mar 29 12:42:41 what kind of reliability problem are there? I feel extremely lucky all of a sudden Mar 29 12:43:19 and some of my usb keyboards don't work in the bios of some of my computers Mar 29 12:43:51 How old are these computers? Mar 29 12:44:05 a few years Mar 29 12:46:39 Anyone managed to dd part of the GPMC address space? Mar 29 12:47:55 dd? Mar 29 12:48:16 mdp, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_%28Unix%29 Mar 29 12:48:34 detect & destroy Mar 29 12:54:04 hrm, never heard of it Mar 29 12:54:18 is there a way to call it from bonescript? Mar 29 12:56:09 jsabeaudry: you mean via /dev/mem once GPMC is set up to decode to a valid memory device? Mar 29 13:07:16 mdp, yes, I can read it fine with devmem2 Mar 29 13:09:06 read/write doesn't work too well on /dev/mem Mar 29 13:09:45 why don't you mmap it and whatever you need? Mar 29 13:10:47 yeah, assume you have some access issues with read() versus transactions generated for gpmc Mar 29 13:13:37 jsabeaudry: curious what size read you issue? Mar 29 13:17:04 mdp, I tried blocksizes of 1 byte 2 bytes and 256 bytes Mar 29 13:19:52 mru, Yes I can mmap and do what I need, true, but I got reverse NIH syndrome so I was looking for a way of doing it with existing tools Mar 29 13:20:01 from the command line Mar 29 13:20:11 what do you need to do? Mar 29 13:20:19 devmem2 is an existing tool :) Mar 29 13:20:25 problem solved Mar 29 13:20:26 have a hex dump of my GPMC device Mar 29 13:20:39 and devmem2 can't do that? Mar 29 13:21:32 jsabeaudry: just a few lines in a module and you could have a nice dump in sysfs Mar 29 13:21:40 then you can do everything in javascript Mar 29 13:23:57 Alright, I'll write a module for it, you guys got me Mar 29 13:24:02 :) Mar 29 13:24:31 write it in uboot Mar 29 13:24:33 when all you have is a kernel module... Mar 29 13:24:44 everything looks like an ioctl Mar 29 13:30:57 jsabeaudry: where did you put your device in address space? Mar 29 13:31:13 0x1000000 Mar 29 13:48:59 jsabeaudry, that fails the valid_phys_addr_range() check..that's why it doesn't work with read()/write() Mar 29 13:49:23 mmap() has a different range check for validity Mar 29 13:51:46 mdp, ah thank you for the explanation! I've seen plenty of post of people dd'ing, hexdump,ing and even cat,ing their /dev/mem but that must be on x86 Mar 29 13:51:56 right Mar 29 13:52:30 now you know why people are constantly discouraged from using /dev/mem Mar 29 13:52:36 so you have to do the same Mar 29 13:52:45 semantics are not portable Mar 29 13:53:28 on arm read/write is only valid in the lowmem dram range Mar 29 13:53:41 Yes, since this is actually a device, a module is in order anyway Mar 29 13:54:26 the CLI is so powerful sometimes I forget that I need anything else ;) Mar 29 13:54:48 it's dangerous :; Mar 29 13:56:07 fwiw, our own linux sdk here has terrible hacks using devmem2 in initscripts to whack magic registers around the SGX core glue..because the driver itself is a black box Mar 29 13:56:47 please don't be like us Mar 29 13:57:16 the only guy who knew how the driver works left? Mar 29 13:57:37 things are compartmentalized..but I'll leave it at that Mar 29 13:58:24 _roger_: !!!! Mar 29 14:00:32 jsabeaudry: not everybody cares to do things correctly to make it maintainable Mar 29 14:07:29 _roger_: good morning! Mar 29 14:10:05 morning koen Mar 29 14:11:31 koen: _roger_ is a bot? Mar 29 14:36:16 <_roger_> hey av500, koen - sorry... was too busy looking out the window at this gorgeous uk weather! Mar 29 14:36:31 _roger_: now, about that gear for me Mar 29 14:37:01 <_roger_> indeed - working it - dont worry! Mar 29 14:37:23 <_roger_> btw - the turbo worked great at EW - thanks a lot for that! Mar 29 14:37:31 np, send pics! Mar 29 14:39:07 * koen looks at the wild raccoon outside Mar 29 14:40:27 koen: planning a bbq? Mar 29 14:40:46 MEAT Mar 29 14:40:56 what the hell do these commands do? source ~/.oe/environment-oecore less ~/.oe/environment-oecore bitbake nano Mar 29 14:41:08 it took 6 hours to complete Mar 29 14:41:14 they steal you PIN Mar 29 14:42:20 av500: I was talking to someone at ESC and he mentioned some people on #beagle don't like emulation Mar 29 14:42:39 we dont? Mar 29 14:42:49 was he adamant about emulating? Mar 29 14:42:57 emulant so to say Mar 29 14:44:56 I have nothing against emulation when it makes sense Mar 29 14:45:22 that was mr 1000 nodes I guess Mar 29 14:46:04 he was funny Mar 29 14:46:49 koen, that's ethical meat..go for it Mar 29 14:47:28 koen, were those "famous IRC people" that don't like emulation? Mar 29 14:49:03 mru, the 99% want emulation and you guys were holding them back Mar 29 15:54:29 Is there a make target for what is needed in /usr/src/ that I could use after building uImage Mar 29 16:11:14 jsabeaudry: er, what? Mar 29 16:13:54 I'm crosscompiling my kernel and all is fine except scripts/basic/fixdep won't run on the target when I try to natively build modules Mar 29 16:14:43 I worked around the issue by copying those scripts from the linux-headers package that I didn't build (previous kernel) that seems to do it Mar 29 16:15:37 why dont you build the modules cross too? Mar 29 16:18:17 Hmmm yes that would probably be the simplest thing, thanks av500 Mar 29 16:19:43 l Mar 29 16:22:40 ds2: II Mar 29 16:23:08 jsabeaudry: with some simple cmd aliases or scripts..you can make the cross deployment of those modules seamless too Mar 29 16:23:20 this is why I prefer nfsroot for devel Mar 29 16:23:43 * av500 deploys modules with cp Mar 29 16:24:07 ktest.pl prefers tar+cp :) Mar 29 16:25:24 +feathers Mar 29 16:25:27 av500, me too…just hinting at gratuitious use of INSTALL_MOD_PATH for him Mar 29 16:25:30 modules? Mar 29 16:25:31 indeed Mar 29 16:25:52 mru: yes, for all the binary modules :) Mar 29 16:25:57 the closed source ones Mar 29 16:26:10 Mar 29 16:26:15 what is the collected error?

Mar 29 16:26:40 if they come with at least a source shim, they can be built in Mar 29 16:26:41 mru, the natives get restless if your driver doesn't work as a module :) Mar 29 16:27:16 it's nice of drivers to work as modules Mar 29 16:27:20 mdp: well, TI does not seem to care much Mar 29 16:27:26 but it's frequently more convenient to have everything you need built in Mar 29 16:27:30 I follow the instruction here: http://mechomaniac.com/BeagleboardDevelopmentWithNetbeans Mar 29 16:27:43 but it doesnt isntall bash gdb Mar 29 16:27:52 and can not find task-nativ-sdk and samba Mar 29 16:28:05 av500, don't confuse my urging of "the right way" with any endorsement by my employer Mar 29 16:28:08 is the instruction wrong or am I typing something wrong? Mar 29 16:32:00 mdp: well, since koen jumped ship, you get all the blame Mar 29 16:35:29 any suggestions?

I git Rev A5, plugged in by USB.. Am I doing something wong ? Mar 29 17:00:32 Here is the errors I get : Mar 29 17:00:34 node.js:134 throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick ^ Error: Cannot find module '/var/lib/cloud9' at Function._resolveFilename (module.js:326:11) at Function._load (module.js:271:25) at Array. (module.js:430:10) at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:126:26) Mar 29 17:36:39 which directory is for beaglebone http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/ Mar 29 17:44:26 tmp/deploy/../.. Mar 29 17:47:06 ? Mar 29 17:50:10 is samba available for angstrom dist.? Mar 29 17:51:02 yes Mar 29 17:51:08 3.5.6-r1 Mar 29 17:51:26 * SilicaGel sets ludicrous speed Mar 29 17:52:00 http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=samba Mar 29 17:52:18 I am downloading the version u said from the link Mar 29 17:52:33 dunno if there are any setup wizards for samba in angstrom or you have to do it all from console Mar 29 17:52:34 or isthere any command to install it from the link on beaglebone? Mar 29 17:52:55 whenever I type "opkg install samba" it can not find the package Mar 29 17:52:58 opkg install Mar 29 17:53:15 I tried it but it doesnt download Mar 29 17:53:17 did you do opkg update already? Mar 29 17:53:23 yes Mar 29 17:53:27 I did opkg update Mar 29 17:53:30 opkg upgrade Mar 29 17:53:37 try opkg list |grep samba Mar 29 17:53:42 not upgrade Mar 29 17:53:52 how do I connect from an ubuntu machine to a beaglebone through usb Mar 29 17:54:18 root@beaglebone:/# opkg update Mar 29 17:54:19 root@beaglebone:/# opkg list |grep samba Mar 29 17:54:19 root@beaglebone:/# Mar 29 17:54:25 it did not show any output Mar 29 17:54:58 what is the command to get samba from http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/core/ipk/eglibc/armv7a/base/samba_3.5.6-r1_armv7a.ipk and istall it on beaglebone? Mar 29 17:55:18 hmm, maybe it's not available for the bone yet Mar 29 17:55:20 don't know much about the sgx yet, but I hope this Q makes sense: can I use the sgx to accelerate any of the framebuffers? Mar 29 17:56:32 I've compiled qt4-embedded-gles and ran the raw demos (!x11) which use /dev/fb0, but I was wondering if I could also run some ogre-stuff in another framebuffer. Mar 29 17:56:56 that's an armv7a package, why wouldn't it work on the bone? Mar 29 17:57:46 is there any command to install the samba manually on the bone? Mar 29 17:58:04 the download link is http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/core/ipk/eglibc/armv7a/base/samba_3.5.6-r1_armv7a.ipk Mar 29 17:58:06 opkg install samba_3.5.6-r1_armv7a.ipk Mar 29 17:58:13 i mean Mar 29 17:58:14 download the package Mar 29 17:58:17 and opkg install it Mar 29 17:58:21 if it needs dependencies, get themt oo Mar 29 17:58:39 or, set up your opkg configuration to know about that repository Mar 29 17:58:47 then you don't have to fetch the ipkg manually Mar 29 17:58:50 I already downloaded it to my pc, but what is the command to download it to the bone? Mar 29 17:59:09 if you were using a VIC 20 and that ipkg was in a magazine you would ahve to type it in. Mar 29 17:59:19 then if your sister kicked the power cord out, you would ahve to start over. Mar 29 17:59:23 Trust me, I speak from experience here. Mar 29 17:59:36 Fortunately, you probably have scp Mar 29 17:59:46 since your PC is probably windows (guessing) you could just install WinSCP Mar 29 17:59:49 that's probably the easiest way Mar 29 18:00:00 yes I use windows 7 Mar 29 18:00:23 Or if you like the Vid 20 method, use od to print the ipk out in octal, then type it into the bone Mar 29 18:00:28 s/vid/vic/ Mar 29 18:00:30 :) Mar 29 18:01:46 key in with toggle switches like altair 8080 Mar 29 18:01:55 wow man, you're old!!! Mar 29 18:02:19 lol i've only seen that stuff in museums Mar 29 18:02:35 When I was a kid, we couldn't afford switches, we had to touch bare wires to our tongues Mar 29 18:02:40 like you i started with a machine that had a cassette deck Mar 29 18:02:47 I dont know what SCP is :) I will google and read more about it Mar 29 18:02:51 thanks for the answers Mar 29 18:02:52 jay6981: i have one Mar 29 18:03:13 angs there's a program named winscp for windows that's kind of a file copying tool, it's drag-and-drop, very easy to use and you can get an .exe that doesn't need an installer Mar 29 18:03:33 there's this guy ed i used to work with who was real dumb, super dumb, and even he could use winscp so you'll be fine Mar 29 18:03:47 hahaha :) thank you very much :) Mar 29 18:03:49 I know you are smarter than him because he wouldn't have made it to irc Mar 29 18:03:59 :D hehe Mar 29 18:04:06 the ti-99/4a diskette drive was more expensive than the computer Mar 29 18:04:34 haha Mar 29 18:04:41 remember the pet/C64 program 'drive music' ? Mar 29 18:05:36 http://pastebin.com/NL66MStJ Mar 29 18:06:13 heh Mar 29 18:07:06 What is the processor used in the boardbone? Mar 29 18:07:28 am3359 Mar 29 18:07:33 I'm confused, it's the am3358 or am3359? Mar 29 18:07:38 ok Mar 29 18:07:54 thx Mar 29 18:08:07 I'm looking at an actual board Mar 29 18:08:54 or are you actually bored Mar 29 18:09:14 both Mar 29 18:09:32 the office bought lunch today. THis means somethings up :P Mar 29 18:10:10 opposite here. something is up when there's no lunch Mar 29 18:12:42 my actual board has an actual 3359 on it Mar 29 18:14:41 * mranostay designs his PS/2 cape :P Mar 29 18:15:05 did you find a buyer? Mar 29 18:15:20 SilicaGel: I think with enough force, a ps/2 plug could be squeezed into the ethernet jack Mar 29 18:15:33 * Russ points mranostay to the many arduino ps/2 interfacing projects Mar 29 18:15:35 I think so, too. What motivates you to contemplate this? Mar 29 18:15:50 oh i see it now sorry Mar 29 18:16:08 and that was meant for mranostay obviously Mar 29 18:16:20 yes I just tried it Mar 29 18:16:25 the PS/2 fits nicely in the RJ45 Mar 29 18:16:27 ship it Mar 29 18:16:32 mru: why would you do such a thing? :) Mar 29 18:19:54 hi Mar 29 18:19:59 lo Mar 29 18:20:25
