Aug 12 05:21:15 <aj2903> i'm planning to buy beaglebone, but i have some queries: 1.i'll be directly connecting beaglebone with PC using networkcable. i don't have any router etc...
Aug 12 05:21:56 <aj2903> If connected directly to PC will this work >
Aug 12 05:21:58 <aj2903> ?
Aug 12 05:22:16 <aj2903> Please help
Aug 12 05:28:50 <aj2903> ???
Aug 12 07:05:38 <_av500_> phh: heh, you are on that conspiracy mailing list
Aug 12 12:01:17 <phh> _av500_: mmmm ?
Aug 12 12:01:26 <phh> arm-netbook ?
Aug 12 12:43:09 <_av500_> yep
Aug 12 12:43:16 <_av500_> be sure to hide your MAC there
Aug 12 12:43:29 <_av500_> and dont drink the tap water
Aug 12 12:54:00 <phh> wtf are you talking about
Aug 12 13:05:09 * daurnimator is trying to get his xm working with display under arch
Aug 12 13:05:18 <daurnimator> anyone care to help? Xorg log: https://gist.github.com/3331741
Aug 12 13:14:44 <_av500_> phh: http://pastebin.com/fSjLGkNh
Aug 12 13:16:16 <_av500_> phh: ....Because government and
Aug 12 13:16:16 <_av500_> corporations want to track the MAC addresses of wifi and bluetooth.
Aug 12 13:16:19 <_av500_> ....
Aug 12 13:24:34 <phh> ah that.
Aug 12 13:27:41 <daurnimator> _av500_: do I know you from archos days of yore?
Aug 12 14:17:53 <_av500_> daurnimator: I know myself not these days
Aug 12 14:18:47 <_av500_> but archos rings a bell
Aug 12 16:11:47 <aj2903> is it possible to connect beaglebone board with PC using lan connection with P-2-P. i.e. peer-to-peer and not using router,dhcp etcc.
Aug 12 16:12:18 <aj2903> using lan* i mean using ethernet cable
Aug 12 16:12:52 <aj2903> need some help
Aug 12 16:15:31 <aj2903> anybody here listening ??????
Aug 12 16:16:22 <dm8tbr> of course
Aug 12 16:16:51 <aj2903> please help me in this issue
Aug 12 16:17:03 <dm8tbr> if you want to access the-internet™, then you will need to enable some sort of connection-sharing on your PC
Aug 12 16:18:47 <aj2903> i'm running linux  through virtualbox in windows is it possible to connect to beagleboard p-2-p network
Aug 12 16:19:25 <aj2903> @dm8trb:i'm running linux  through virtualbox in windows is it possible to connect to beagleboard p-2-p network
Aug 12 16:20:25 <dm8tbr> let's ask the other way around: what are you trying to achieve here?
Aug 12 16:22:36 <aj2903> i want to verify if i'm running linux using virtualbox on windows machine,will i be able to connect beaglebone and do all kinds of experiments
Aug 12 16:23:08 <aj2903> is internet connection mandatory for beaglebone development?
Aug 12 16:23:14 <dm8tbr> no
Aug 12 16:23:56 <dm8tbr> you can bridge the ethernet connection of your virtualbox to the ethernet port on your PC
Aug 12 16:24:12 <dm8tbr> then you can directly 'talk' to the beagle-bone
Aug 12 16:24:38 <dm8tbr> if you need the usb-serial port too, then you will need to forward that to your virtual machine too
Aug 12 16:27:48 <aj2903> @dm8trb: internet connection is not required right ??
Aug 12 16:28:13 <dm8tbr> depends entirely on what you're planning to do.
Aug 12 16:28:25 <aj2903> means ....
Aug 12 16:28:49 <aj2903> ok fine got it
Aug 12 16:28:57 <dm8tbr> only you know the meaning of that
Aug 12 16:29:34 <aj2903> @dm8tbr: thanks a lot..
Aug 12 16:29:36 <aj2903> :)
Aug 12 16:33:23 <aj2903> @dm8trb : can gui like embedded - qt be run on beaglebone board ??
Aug 12 16:34:41 <aj2903> @dm8tbr : can gui like embedded - qt be run on beaglebone board ??
Aug 12 16:36:09 <dm8tbr> sure, if you attach a display somehow
Aug 12 16:36:59 <aj2903> @dm8tbr: thanks again...
Aug 12 16:37:37 <dm8tbr> hmm, interesting, no detailed steps necessary
Aug 12 18:22:03 <eren> yay, I got uart3 working!
Aug 12 18:22:55 <eren> https://p.twimg.com/A0HgVSICIAEpZME.png:large
Aug 12 18:23:06 <eren> and the code is here: http://github.com/eren/sos/
Aug 12 18:24:34 <boxysean> success!
Aug 12 18:24:55 <eren> now I'm wondering what to do next :)
Aug 12 18:25:10 <boxysean> does it play music yet?
Aug 12 18:25:13 <boxysean> :0
Aug 12 18:25:15 <boxysean> L)
Aug 12 18:25:20 <eren> heheh
Aug 12 18:25:25 <eren> no :P
Aug 12 18:56:15 <KeatonT> Purchased a new microSD card for the bone. (8GB)
Aug 12 18:56:26 <KeatonT> Huge performance increase.
Aug 12 18:59:17 <phh> use nilfs2
Aug 12 19:08:53 <KeatonT> nilfs2?
Aug 12 20:12:57 <ynezz> eren: boring, no leds :(
Aug 12 20:17:58 <boxysean> sweet, then i've got what you're looking for ynezz
Aug 12 20:18:39 <eren> ynezz: build a led with usb interface, write a usb driver for it
Aug 12 20:18:44 <eren> it's not boring then :)
Aug 12 20:19:05 <ynezz> well, there's on board led
Aug 12 20:20:10 <eren> yeah
Aug 12 20:20:16 <eren> gotta go folks, good night
Aug 12 20:24:32 <ynezz> well, too late eren... https://github.com/mrd/puppy
Aug 12 20:26:02 <boxysean> okay here's my contribution for the day http://blog.boxysean.com/2012/08/12/first-steps-with-the-beaglebone-pru/
Aug 12 20:26:44 <boxysean> all about blinking leds, aww yeah. should add an animated gif of the blinking
Aug 12 20:36:37 <_av500_> boxysean: you are doing that wrong, you are not supposed to just gather information and make things work! :)
Aug 12 20:38:38 <_av500_> boxysean: ah, DMX, what do you use  for the hardware?
Aug 12 20:51:01 <boxysean> ynezz: this is for you http://blog.boxysean.com/images/beaglebone-blinkslave.gif :) (also added to my post)
Aug 12 20:51:16 <boxysean> _av500_: oh muh bad :D
Aug 12 20:51:40 <boxysean> _av500_: i have this board http://www.celestialaudio.com/dmx_led/index.html that i'd like to have the beaglebone control
Aug 12 20:52:45 <boxysean> custom LED setups
Aug 12 21:01:00 <_av500_> boxysean: right, but how do you generate the DMX signal on the bone? with so,me RS458 driver?
Aug 12 21:02:36 <boxysean> _av500_: i haven't yet
Aug 12 21:03:02 <boxysean> _av500_: the way i'm thinking of doing it is writing directly to the pins from the PRU
Aug 12 21:03:30 <boxysean> any thoughts on that approach?
Aug 12 21:05:31 <_av500_> i'd put a proper driver inbetween
Aug 12 21:19:57 <boxysean> _av500_: cool. i've never dealt with this before. good tip
Aug 12 21:25:02 <boxysean> i'll be trying this first, but do you think short jumpers from the output of the bone to the input of the dmx board will suffice?
Aug 12 21:54:56 <_av500_> hmm
Aug 12 21:55:14 <_av500_> looking at the specs 0 and 3.3V should be fine
Aug 13 01:35:06 <veneco> hello... is somebody that use ubuntu + qt + tslib on beagle??
Aug 13 02:50:39 <mranostay> veneco: your question is?
Aug 13 02:53:13 <veneco> mranostay:  I compiled  tslib on my laptop and then compiled qt embedded 4.8.2 .... I installed into my beagle both
Aug 13 02:53:32 <mranostay> er ok
Aug 13 02:54:08 <veneco> but... when I run a demo program... I can't use mouse or touchscreen
Aug 13 02:55:19 <veneco> so, DO I need use some option when I run the demo?
