**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Mar 08 02:59:59 2013 Mar 08 04:20:42 * mranostay "next-gens" a cape Mar 08 05:00:02 next gen? Mar 08 05:00:08 that is next-gening? Mar 08 05:00:19 not allow to mention the clock Mar 08 05:00:24 *color Mar 08 05:00:32 oh Mar 08 05:00:54 red-beagle Mar 08 05:01:23 ive pretty much decided that i can't get any love from CircuitCo Mar 08 05:01:33 so, i'll just have to build my own. Mar 08 05:01:57 but i hear that they are 120 days behind Mar 08 05:02:04 so can understand Mar 08 05:05:18 well good things come to those who wait :P Mar 08 05:06:52 but the early bird gets the worm? Mar 08 05:07:01 I don't understand! Mar 08 05:08:48 early board gets a hot rev Mar 08 05:08:50 *bird Mar 08 05:11:34 its just a pcb and parts Mar 08 05:11:49 though i'd struggle to make them for the cost that CC sells them Mar 08 05:12:45 it isn't that hard Mar 08 05:18:06 heh the RT1 fuse is only for HDMI Mar 08 06:42:55 <_av500_> its a full HD fuse Mar 08 06:48:08 * mranostay has no 1 ohm THT resistors it seems Mar 08 06:48:47 <_av500_> omg, ti added me back Mar 08 06:49:02 omg! Mar 08 06:49:25 <_av500_> lets post more STM and NXP stuff Mar 08 06:50:05 be nice Mar 08 06:50:27 crap i really have no shunt resistors in THT Mar 08 06:51:04 <_av500_> make a run to Fry's Mar 08 06:51:15 at 11p? Mar 08 06:56:22 they don't have windows there? Mar 08 06:57:59 cute Mar 08 07:24:37 <_av500_> mranostay: aint them open 24/7? Mar 08 07:27:10 mranostay, I just make THT resistors out of 0402's and some wire Mar 08 07:27:31 for a good shunt resistor, use 4 wires Mar 08 07:27:36 <_av500_> piece of paper and a pencil Mar 08 07:27:38 hehe Mar 08 07:28:10 <_av500_> mranostay: oh, 9pm only Mar 08 07:28:17 you could also use a long wire as a shunt resistor Mar 08 07:28:21 <_av500_> no wonder the valley is going down the drain Mar 08 07:28:56 <_av500_> but then, one can buy hadoop and jquery online for less money Mar 08 07:29:53 seriously though, just get some wire, calculate the resistance per unit length based on the material and gauge, cut to length, measure actual resistance, place in cirucit Mar 08 07:29:57 er, circuit Mar 08 07:32:48 Russ: yes i understand the concept :) Mar 08 07:33:47 <_av500_> Russ: might still make a long wire Mar 08 07:34:18 <_av500_> mranostay: what I usually do is to find some older stuff and desolder what I need :) Mar 08 07:34:39 <_av500_> that CRT TV you put in storage Mar 08 07:35:27 CRT? god you are old :) Mar 08 07:37:03 :) Mar 08 07:40:24 why are you building a resistor? Mar 08 07:41:30 because he does not have one :) Mar 08 07:41:48 a wonderfull FRIDAY! morning everyone! Mar 08 07:41:52 oddly, i did this the other day Mar 08 07:42:05 but i did want a 500W resistor Mar 08 07:42:41 out of .25W resistors? :) Mar 08 07:42:57 which are a little less common that the 0603's that there are several hundred thousand in the cupboard. Mar 08 07:43:51 its a tricky thing. Mar 08 07:44:01 component managment Mar 08 07:44:16 not really Mar 08 07:44:16 500W resistor?!?! Mar 08 07:44:21 <_av500_> mranostay: take all the 0603's, pour into a cake pan and bake in the oven Mar 08 07:44:26 oh yeah.. Mar 08 07:44:28 it is Mar 08 07:44:29 <_av500_> mranostay: yes, stuff for grownups Mar 08 07:44:30 you just dump them into a big cupboard and lable every shelf Mar 08 07:44:31 if you want to do it well Mar 08 07:44:37 _av500_: hate you :) Mar 08 07:44:39 right.. Mar 08 07:44:59 mranostay: yes, i want to dump 50A out of a power supply Mar 08 07:45:07 to see how it would cool. Mar 08 07:45:23 i found an old heater Mar 08 07:45:26 :-) Mar 08 07:45:30 mrpackethead, if you want to build a 500W resistor, use light bulbs Mar 08 07:45:31 bit of rewiring. Mar 08 07:45:46 heater worked well Mar 08 07:45:47 <_av500_> Russ: only if the voltage is high enough, no? Mar 08 07:45:47 :-) Mar 08 07:45:52 _av500_, ya Mar 08 07:46:07 mrpackethead: wtf are you doing that needs 50 amps? Mar 08 07:46:20 mranostay: stuff for grownups :) Mar 08 07:46:25 testing a power supply in a metal box Mar 08 07:46:38 to check that my calculations were close to reality Mar 08 07:46:39 KotH: you aren't that much older than me :) Mar 08 07:47:03 mranostay: actually, i am... not as old as av500, but still quite a bit older than you Mar 08 07:47:06 and yes, i was actually only putting 250W into the resistor Mar 08 07:47:11 KotH: 35? Mar 08 07:47:11 but i made it good for 500 Mar 08 07:47:18 mranostay: about that, yes Mar 08 07:47:23 so, we could use it for something else Mar 08 07:47:25 ok you are much olde then :P Mar 08 07:47:25 mranostay: you're _young_, you know Mar 08 07:47:37 how old is mrpackethead Mar 08 07:47:55 mrpackethead: i hope _you_ know that Mar 08 07:49:04 * _av500_ puts "mranostay: stuff for grownups" on a keyboard macro Mar 08 07:49:12 hehe Mar 08 07:49:36 hey i am an adult Mar 08 07:49:47 oh yeah? Mar 08 07:49:53 <_av500_> but you need to point that out Mar 08 07:49:58 mranostay: just because you're of legal age does not mean you are grown up Mar 08 07:50:02 i was born on september 22, 2890 Mar 08 07:50:26 <_av500_> mranostay: what after-time-travel cream do you use? Mar 08 07:50:30 mrpackethead: so you're 20? Mar 08 07:50:30 <_av500_> er, mrpackethead Mar 08 07:50:49 <_av500_> mranostay: I hate the headaches Mar 08 07:50:52 <_av500_> darn Mar 08 07:50:56 <_av500_> mrpackethead: ^ Mar 08 07:51:03 * KotH hands _av500_ a new tabcomplete Mar 08 07:51:15 <_av500_> kos_tom: thanks! Mar 08 07:51:17 <_av500_> :) Mar 08 07:51:27 :-D Mar 08 07:51:32 hehe Mar 08 07:51:33 mrpackethead is a hobbit from the third age remember Mar 08 07:51:51 .o0(a soon to be extinct race) Mar 08 07:52:46 <_av500_> orcs ftw! Mar 08 07:53:21 i can deal to trolls, they are just lumbering and stupid Mar 08 07:53:36 orcs, you gotta be careful off and avoid at all cost Mar 08 07:53:45 goblins are iiky Mar 08 07:53:58 Smegal, you can trick.. but be careful hes crafty Mar 08 07:54:04 * mranostay loads up silver bullets Mar 08 07:54:13 oh wait wrong myth Mar 08 07:54:14 Smegal now works for TI Mar 08 07:59:01 * KotH snatches mrpacketheads ring away Mar 08 08:00:56 500W resistors out of lightbulbs is horrible at best Mar 08 08:01:13 it should be better known as a self heating thermistor Mar 08 08:02:48 yeah i'm sleeping nows Mar 08 08:02:49 the whole point is to just dump waste heat Mar 08 08:02:53 TI has smegheads working for them? Mar 08 08:03:16 and my complain is lightbulbs temp dependant for their resistance Mar 08 08:03:22 IIRC, they go up as temp goes up Mar 08 08:03:39 are we using lightbulbs as resistors? Mar 08 08:03:44 ds2, yes, that can be a problem Mar 08 08:04:02 but if used properly, takes care of itself Mar 08 08:04:04 but they do make nice cheap dummy loads Mar 08 08:04:13 why would anyone be this insane? :) Mar 08 08:04:40 mranostay: if you are doing a 1KW transmitter and need something to test w/o risking folks from the FCC giving you a visit... Mar 08 08:05:29 actually... you might be able to buy a better high wattage resistor at an automotive place Mar 08 08:05:57 mechanics use a carbon pile thing to test car batteries. it can sink hundreds of at 12V Mar 08 08:06:25 the $24 fan heater with some mods worked nicely Mar 08 08:07:09 and in fact i was more interested in the currnet flow than the actual reistance Mar 08 08:07:34 http://blog.thelifeofkenneth.com/2012/08/various-sizes-of-resistors.html Mar 08 08:07:42 mrpackethead: why at the current flow? Mar 08 08:07:57 becuase i was just simulating a load Mar 08 08:08:10 which is currnet limited Mar 08 08:08:12 only an 80W resistor Mar 08 08:09:45 mrpackethead: ah.. Mar 08 08:09:45 i layed with a new toy from fluke today Mar 08 08:10:09 where is this voltage divider on the colour we can't mention board? Mar 08 08:11:10 one thing he didn't cover is you can fudge the ratings if you are careful with duty cycles Mar 08 08:11:48 mranostay, which voltage divider, the one for AIN7? Mar 08 08:12:13 Fluke Ti100 thermal imager Mar 08 08:13:32 Russ: aha! Mar 08 08:13:50 so how close to workign is this black thing Mar 08 08:14:23 mrpackethead, why not call it, the unnamed beaglebone successor Mar 08 08:14:27 ubs Mar 08 08:14:51 _av500_: huh ? Mar 08 08:15:17 we know its black becuase its in the wiki Mar 08 08:15:37 or prehaps "tuxedo board" Mar 08 08:15:49 or cousin of tux Mar 08 08:16:19 did they put a RTC that works in it. Mar 08 08:16:24 do not metion the color Mar 08 08:16:28 *mention Mar 08 08:16:39 mranostay, no one gets this, you can mention the color but not the name Mar 08 08:16:43 how is that confusing? Mar 08 08:16:57 gm Mar 08 08:16:57 black! Mar 08 08:17:02 but that isn't the name! Mar 08 08:17:06 hm still all awake Mar 08 08:17:07 or is it? Mar 08 08:17:09 intressting Mar 08 08:17:22 oh the places I'd like to go with this, but and too chicken Mar 08 08:17:29 er, am too chicken Mar 08 08:17:40 mranostay, still looking for R163/R164? Mar 08 08:18:14 Russ: i can just the value in AIN7 right? :) Mar 08 08:18:25 yes Mar 08 08:18:27 too sleepy to bother Mar 08 08:18:36 weekened project Mar 08 08:18:37 didn't know if you needed to physically probe resistors or something Mar 08 08:18:44 nope Mar 08 08:19:05 the white had the same setup or not Mar 08 08:19:12 i mean classic i mean Mar 08 08:19:13 then its AIN7 and it should be VDD_3V3B/2 Mar 08 08:19:44 Russ: ok i may have dropped out but i do know some EE :) Mar 08 08:19:58 didn't know if you knew the values of the resistors Mar 08 08:20:17 have the secret spec in hand :) Mar 08 08:20:31 aren't they 0402's? Mar 08 08:20:33 the minus github cloak :) Mar 08 08:20:48 a quick glance w/a magnifier... Mar 08 08:21:03 ds2, ok, lemme look Mar 08 08:21:18 hmm...I must need a bigger magnigier Mar 08 08:21:22 er, magnifier Mar 08 08:21:38 crap really sleeping now Mar 08 08:21:39 10x....20x...30x....60x....I don't see nuttin! Mar 08 08:22:19 0201's? Mar 08 08:22:26 0402's should be marked Mar 08 08:22:51 some 0402's have no markings Mar 08 08:23:14 oh Mar 08 08:23:56 0201's are beyond my ability to hand place. Mar 08 08:24:23 but maybe i just need to practce more! Mar 08 08:24:29 nite mranostay Mar 08 08:26:08 <_av500_> kos_tom: nothing, was a mistab Mar 08 08:26:09 mrpackethead: actually, most 0402s are not marked Mar 08 08:26:45 * KotH has even a few unmarked 0603s Mar 08 08:26:47 gm koth and av500 Mar 08 08:26:55 moin woglinde Mar 08 08:27:12 woglinde: how's life in the good old capital? Mar 08 08:27:24 <_av500_> exciting Mar 08 08:27:38 <_av500_> drinking hipster coffee in the morning Mar 08 08:27:49 <_av500_> on the balcony of the renovierte altbauwohnung Mar 08 08:28:46 _av500_: ok :) Mar 08 08:29:11 ds2, how much are you paying for your 0402's that they're marked? Mar 08 08:30:03 av500 excatly Mar 08 08:30:53 Russ: I get them at the local place for maybe $5 for left over reels (1/2 to 2/3) Mar 08 08:31:00 <_av500_> woglinde: later take your macbook to starbucks and pretend ists SF :) Mar 08 08:31:27 hmm..wonder if I have any local places Mar 08 08:32:29 av500 hm we have no real sea only spree Mar 08 08:32:32 http://www.actpcb.com/ seems to be the closest Mar 08 08:33:18 Russ: are you in LA cty or OR cty? Mar 08 08:33:44 very sw corner of san bernadino Mar 08 08:34:15 so more so orange county Mar 08 08:34:33 tried the stuff near ACP? Mar 08 08:34:36 but city of industry is close Mar 08 08:34:40 think that is either tustin or irvine Mar 08 08:35:00 that is south of the orange crush Mar 08 08:38:03 what is acp? Mar 08 08:39:54 http://www.acpsurplus.com/servlet/Page?template=about Mar 08 08:39:57 santa ana Mar 08 08:40:26 next to them, there is another place that sells parts (or used it. it has been a while since I been there0 Mar 08 08:44:14 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=578723788821811&set=a.210709215623272.60618.210706378956889&type=1&relevant_count=1 Mar 08 08:44:20 bla. Mar 08 08:44:43 ds2, not sure how many of those components I can actually use… Mar 08 08:45:37 <_av500_> oh wow: http://www.acpsurplus.com/servlet/Detail?no=229 Mar 08 08:45:40 <_av500_> must buy! Mar 08 08:47:51 sorry for the basic question but what's up with the pandaboard. Should it be condisrered a dead project and soc? Mar 08 08:48:01 bay area has all the cool surplus from what I understand Mar 08 08:51:18 pandas are rare and endagered Mar 08 08:51:28 i saw a few in Hong Kong Mar 08 08:51:40 Russ: if you are willing to goto LA, there is All Electronics Mar 08 08:57:20 you mean past LA Mar 08 08:58:38 keesj: the panda isnt dead Mar 08 08:58:52 its been reborn, I forget as what Mar 08 08:59:08 keesj: iirc all parts are catalog parts, so it'll be produced for the next couple of decades Mar 08 08:59:14 heh Mar 08 08:59:18 omap4 isn't catalog Mar 08 08:59:53 and prices on the components went up Mar 08 09:00:00 http://pandaborad.org/ is still up Mar 08 09:00:22 and there's noone around to support it Mar 08 09:00:52 not true, there is the community Mar 08 09:00:54 <_av500_> Russ: yes, as long as I can leach hosting :) Mar 08 09:00:55 ;) Mar 08 09:01:03 aholler: you mean nokia? Mar 08 09:01:15 koen: they use omap4? Mar 08 09:01:36 it's an old TI in-joke Mar 08 09:01:46 when the omap people say "the community wants" Mar 08 09:01:55 ah, those times Mar 08 09:01:56 they meant "nokia wants" Mar 08 09:01:58 <_av500_> it means nokia demands Mar 08 09:02:10 then s/nokia/google/ Mar 08 09:02:16 and s/google/amazon/ Mar 08 09:02:17 etc Mar 08 09:02:55 well, nokia is now a subsidiary Mar 08 09:03:00 nokia? pretty much a has been along with Blackberry is'n ti Mar 08 09:03:16 failed to catch up Mar 08 09:03:35 nokia was trojaned Mar 08 09:08:27 it now will serve as an example for future management generations Mar 08 09:12:31 ship with your yacht to a competitor, spend some months there, beaten ... Mar 08 09:21:23 gm Mar 08 09:21:39 <_av500_> beware greeks bearing greets Mar 08 10:18:21 jo panto Mar 08 11:32:51 <_av500_> koen: ping Mar 08 11:41:01 av500: pong Mar 08 11:43:04 <_av500_> koen: nvm found it Mar 08 11:43:18 <_av500_> wanted to know what to kill to have angstrom not export the FAT by default Mar 08 11:43:42 systemctl disable storage-gadget-init.service Mar 08 11:43:43 iirc Mar 08 11:43:46 <_av500_> but I see it exported and moiunted at the same time Mar 08 11:43:55 <_av500_> not good, no? Mar 08 11:47:59 <_av500_> koen: disable does not survive reboot Mar 08 11:49:10 * _av500_ googles Mar 08 11:50:10 ah Mar 08 11:50:12 I know why Mar 08 11:50:18 it was manually installed Mar 08 11:50:27 it;s a bug Mar 08 11:50:33 delete the symlink manually Mar 08 11:50:52 <_av500_> ah Mar 08 11:51:28 <_av500_> its no link Mar 08 11:52:18 <_av500_> its a space station Mar 08 11:53:03 oO(is it a lïnk?) Mar 08 13:43:28 has anyone here ever made an ultra-low power linux system? if yes, what was the lowest power consumption and what cpu and power saving methods did you use? Mar 08 13:44:01 * KotH needs some approx numbers what is possible Mar 08 13:47:10 <_av500_> low power when? Mar 08 13:47:21 <_av500_> when off? Mar 08 13:47:47 the PMA430 was pretty low power when clocked at 32kHz ;) Mar 08 13:47:47 system running, but idle/waiting for external events (irq) Mar 08 13:48:07 <_av500_> KotH: can it sleep and wake on irq? Mar 08 13:48:18 that's the idea Mar 08 13:48:38 but i have no clue whether linux supports that sort of thing out of the box Mar 08 13:48:52 <_av500_> sure Mar 08 13:49:00 <_av500_> omap3 can do that Mar 08 13:49:10 cool Mar 08 13:49:16 <_av500_> you go to "off mode" Mar 08 13:49:23 <_av500_> then cpu is off and only sdram is on Mar 08 13:49:26 <_av500_> in self refresh Mar 08 13:49:38 <_av500_> you configure one gpio as "wakeup" Mar 08 13:49:43 <_av500_> thta brings you back Mar 08 13:50:16 <_av500_> I guess bone cpu can do something similar Mar 08 13:50:16 so, the cpu woould use a 1-2mA tops plus the self refresh power of the sdram? Mar 08 13:50:25 <_av500_> cpu almost 0mA Mar 08 13:50:33 sound cool Mar 08 13:50:42 <_av500_> only thing powered is the wakeup domain Mar 08 13:50:54 <_av500_> running from the 32khz clk Mar 08 13:51:27 <_av500_> KotH: what latency do you need? Mar 08 13:52:43 couple of ms in that state Mar 08 13:53:16 when the system is running, i would have some (weak) realtime constrains Mar 08 13:53:29 <_av500_> well, that part is SW Mar 08 13:53:58 "It's just software, we can do anything" Mar 08 13:54:10 exactly Mar 08 13:54:27 * KotH found some random numbers on power consumption: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OMAP-L138_Power_Consumption_Summary Mar 08 13:54:33 av500: thanks dude!

Mar 09 00:48:50 mranostay: stone ipa Mar 09 00:57:32 i want to get drunk and write PRU code Mar 09 01:05:12 Hey all, I'm having issues running ftd2xx on the BeagleBoard xM RevC Mar 09 01:05:43 the simple test program returns 1 and ldd doesn't work on it Mar 09 01:07:33 i tried readelf --file-headers --arch-specific and noticed that the OS name is "ARM926EF-S" instead of "7-A" Mar 09 01:07:54 and this is the only ARM version of libftd2xx provided on their website, does this mean that I can't use it on this platform? Mar 09 01:12:49 running readelf on libraries in /usr/lib gives "7-A", and the CPU_arch is "v7" as opposed to "v5TEJ" on libftd2xx Mar 09 01:22:24 Does anyone know if the xM is just incompatible with this shared library or if there's something I can do? Mar 09 01:31:03 heh Mar 09 01:56:08 ok i have to go in ten minutes, if anybody has an idea please let me know Mar 09 01:59:59 hayk, why use the closed source crap? are you required to? Mar 09 02:01:30 yes - we are building a mobile robot and using motor controllers that come with a library that uses ftd2xx Mar 09 02:02:03 bummer, to bad they did use libftdi Mar 09 02:02:21 strace it, see if its doing anything Mar 09 02:04:58 what should I be looking for? Mar 09 02:05:32 it has a bunch of alternating calls of stat64 and open, then a couple read and lseeks, then exit_group(1) Mar 09 02:07:21 oh i see, it's looking for the library. the last call of open seems to find it Mar 09 02:08:18 then we get a read(3, "\177ELF......a bunch of characters"..., 512) = 512 Mar 09 02:08:40 and lseek(3, 198900, SEEK_SET) = 198900 Mar 09 02:08:54 two more similar reads, and then exit_group(1) = ? Mar 09 02:24:04 AMSDK 05.06 + CCSv5.1.1 + Beagle Bone Rev A6 booting from SD just fine. Mar 09 02:24:20 Try to connect with XDS100v2 fails Mar 09 02:24:56 Error is SC_ERR_FTDI_OPEN (0XFFFFFF69) Mar 09 02:25:42 Exited minicom on /dev/ttyUSB1 Mar 09 02:26:11 Should XDS100v2 be on /dev/ttyUSB0 is nothing else is on USB? Mar 09 02:26:43 s/is/if/ Mar 09 02:27:07 mranostay: based on mdp 's 6502 pru stuff, i am pretty sure being drunk is a prerequisite for writing PRU code Mar 09 02:28:31 I want to look at the Tracing Vectors Mar 09 02:28:58 Ethernet flash: BOOTP requests start after 18 minutes. No response from host. Mar 09 02:47:05 See error msg above about FTDI open error. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Mar 09 02:59:59 2013
