**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Mar 30 02:59:59 2014 Mar 30 03:53:25 is it possible to use the sdcard slot on a beaglebone black as additional HD space? Mar 30 03:55:01 Yes. Mar 30 03:58:05 another quick question, is the angstrom image on the site the same exact one that came on the device to start with? Mar 30 03:58:22 I was thinking about flashing the eMMC but I wasn't sure if how it would turn out Mar 30 03:58:48 I am guessing that once I flash the eMMC with debian I can just mount the sdcard? Mar 30 04:14:35 Any kernel devs present? Dealing with a troubling adc bug Mar 30 04:26:40 pauljbl, I belive you can do this in /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/speed Mar 30 04:30:14 pauljbl, this might help, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=172005 Mar 30 04:58:15 zanzacar, http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:MicroSD_As_Extra_Storage Mar 30 04:59:00 PurpleDog: thanks I found this too http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Expanding_File_System_Partition_On_A_microSD Mar 30 04:59:25 which I think is right up my alley because I have 4gb micro so I should have plenty of space if I play my cards right Mar 30 04:59:46 that's only if you are booting from your sd card Mar 30 05:00:07 as in you don't intend to boot off the eMMC Mar 30 05:00:22 thats correct, I am switching to debian Mar 30 05:00:26 and want to run a bit of software Mar 30 05:00:52 after collection all the dependencies I was ran out of space so I needed to figure something out Mar 30 05:01:03 if I use the microSD as just space that not part of the system Mar 30 05:01:22 that's what my link would be for Mar 30 05:01:33 your link is for if you want to use an SD card image Mar 30 05:01:47 then you just expand the root partition and you never touch the eMMC at all Mar 30 05:01:58 that works too, that's currently what I do Mar 30 05:03:55 the link you sent me though seems like it is available storage not part of the system but as an extra mounted storage is that correct? Mar 30 05:04:31 I need to install software and therefore would need more system storage space not a mounted flashdrive/sd card. Mar 30 07:19:40 is there any more documentation for something like this cape? http://elinux.org/CircuitCo:Audio_Cape_RevB Mar 30 07:20:07 I would like to purchase one for a project I am working on but I don't know how it will all our with the board/audio IO/etc Mar 30 07:28:14 "how it will all our with the board" - what? Mar 30 07:29:07 haha my bad on that one, I was trying to read up on the audio board. Trying to figure out how the audio IO will work. Mar 30 07:30:08 is the board going to see it as the standard audio IO or is problems with these boards? ( I assume they are new so it maybe unknown ). Mar 30 07:31:16 I don't know of anyone who used this, but I'd expect that there is an DT overlay for it and the codec should have support in the kernel Mar 30 07:32:03 it's a very simple thing anyway and once the things are loaded it should just show up as a regular alsa interface Mar 30 07:33:38 this site mentions that the DT will be coming. I will have to look into what a DT actually is though and how it works. Mar 30 07:35:32 tbr: since your here I was thinking about flashing my eMMC with debian and then following this sites recommendations for expanding my storage Mar 30 07:35:35 http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:MicroSD_As_Extra_Storage Mar 30 07:36:32 try it out, I haven't done that Mar 30 07:36:32 in my opinion it seems like this will just allow it to be usable storage not part of the system storage, so if you were to install things you wouldn't be using your SDCards as part of the storage of new installations only for storing documentats etc. Mar 30 07:36:40 ok I will give it a try then Mar 30 07:37:00 ah, so you want to expand your rootfs? Mar 30 07:37:10 why not run debian from SDcard all together then? Mar 30 07:37:34 I was running with a 4gb card but for whatever reason I was running out of space Mar 30 07:38:19 see here http://pastebin.com/9SRike0D Mar 30 07:38:38 I only have 136M of rootfs Mar 30 07:42:12 you'll want to resize the partition and filesystem to span over your whole card Mar 30 07:42:29 use e.g. parted Mar 30 07:42:55 I tried this http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Expanding_File_System_Partition_On_A_microSD Mar 30 07:43:28 but my rootfs never got any bigger, so maybe I missed something. I thought it was already taking up the full 4gb Mar 30 07:57:16 your pastebin clearly shows that it only uses about 1.7GB on that SD-card Mar 30 08:03:05 ya I am trying again Mar 30 08:03:35 I have noticed something when I am logged into the BB via ssh it doesn't ever want to reboot while on the sdcard. I am not sure if it does on the emmc Mar 30 08:03:49 just running the command sudo reboot Mar 30 08:13:41 this worked much better http://www.armhf.com/index.php/expanding-linux-partitions-part-2-of-2/ Mar 30 08:14:08 man i wish adc wasn't so broken :( Mar 30 08:14:38 what does adc stand for? analog to digital conversion? Mar 30 08:14:53 yeah the analog reader Mar 30 08:15:08 so what is wrong with it? why is it borken? Mar 30 08:15:11 have to read X times to get a valid reading, where X is the number of analog pins you've read from since reboot Mar 30 08:15:23 not that I can help I just thought I would take the opporunity to learn something Mar 30 08:18:49 bpio plugged into ain4 after a voltage divider Mar 30 08:18:51 gpio rather Mar 30 08:18:53 http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=NwNEeXUS Mar 30 08:20:29 that is interseting what os are you running? I don't see gpio30 Mar 30 08:23:00 have to enable it Mar 30 08:23:09 its debian Mar 30 08:23:34 root@rbone:/sys/class/gpio# echo 30 > export Mar 30 08:23:35 and adc Mar 30 08:23:36 o i wasn't sure since the root@rbone: wasn't sure what the rbone part was Mar 30 08:23:44 root@rbone:/sys/class/gpio/gpio30# echo BB-ADC > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/slots Mar 30 08:23:49 just the hostname Mar 30 08:23:59 o good point Mar 30 08:24:03 so i can tell dif ones apart Mar 30 08:24:06 im deving a ruby lib on this one Mar 30 08:24:09 which is nearly done Mar 30 08:24:19 but this adc bug makes me want to drop kick a baby Mar 30 08:24:24 theres no easy way to set the sample rate either Mar 30 08:24:27 gotcha thats cool. I am trying to get a ham radio echolink server up and running for our club Mar 30 08:24:47 you can't set a baud rate or something similar? Mar 30 08:25:13 documentation is .... lacking Mar 30 08:25:32 even so, its just the bug that really annoys me Mar 30 08:26:07 gotcha Mar 30 10:41:48 Anyone know what has the better processor the beaglebone black or the beagleboard xm Mar 30 10:43:02 both are Mar 30 10:43:45 Do you know if one has better USB bandwidth Mar 30 10:43:55 neither Mar 30 10:44:02 they have the same Mar 30 10:44:29 hint: beagles are no rpi Mar 30 10:44:43 What's no rpi Mar 30 10:44:49 lol Mar 30 10:44:50 beagles Mar 30 10:45:17 isnt usb1.1 slower... and there for less bandwidth than usb2? Mar 30 10:45:18 What does RPI mean Mar 30 10:45:46 raspberry pi Mar 30 10:45:52 Oh Mar 30 10:46:30 Do you know of a device with more USB bandwidth Mar 30 10:46:51 pauljbl: what are you actually trying to do? Mar 30 10:47:11 Run lots of USB bitcoin mining devices Mar 30 10:47:17 oh god......... Mar 30 10:47:31 Can only get 11 Max working Mar 30 10:48:30 * Dan2 suggests that maybe your doing it wrong Mar 30 10:49:04 Doing it the same as on a laptop Linux and they all work Mar 30 10:49:21 lol Mar 30 10:49:28 no shit Mar 30 10:49:45 You any ideas Mar 30 10:49:52 use a laptop? Mar 30 10:50:15 Wanted to use a arm device Mar 30 10:50:20 embedded boards probably just arent ever designed for what you seem to be trying Mar 30 10:52:25 On the RPI going to usb1.1 makes more devices run for some reason Mar 30 10:53:38 I get spi errors when too many devices Mar 30 10:53:55 that's because the rpi has a tinsy arm9 core, while the bbb has a full feldged cortex-a8 Mar 30 10:54:02 the power consumption of the cpu core is higher Mar 30 10:54:48 I tried a cubieboard and that was worse that the RPI for some reason Mar 30 10:55:26 lol Mar 30 10:55:34 read the documentation and learn Mar 30 10:56:43 Wouldn't know what part I need to read about for what I am doing g Mar 30 11:21:55 pauljbl: an introductory book in digital electronics would be a good idea Mar 30 11:22:21 pauljbl: also read the datasheet and reference manuals of the boards and their processors Mar 30 11:28:25 anyone there? Mar 30 11:51:19 so I am finally about to start trying to write a program for my beaglebone black. Is there anything I should be aware of when working with the gpio pins coming from an arduino world? I know voltage is a big one. Mar 30 11:52:31 electrical issues are: voltage, current (both source and sink) and steepnes of edge (EMI) Mar 30 11:53:14 programming: you are working on an operating system, which means you have some things taken care of, but other things are not available (eg you cannot count cycles to know how long a program is going to run) Mar 30 12:08:54 KotH, I'm watching one of derek malloyes tutorials on youtube right now about the gpio pins of the beaglebone. sounds like this will take some initial research before i just jump in Mar 30 12:19:50 how about working witht he gpio pins? Mar 30 12:21:20 man im still stuck on trying to work out exactly which gpio pins are already used and are available Mar 30 12:21:21 lol Mar 30 12:21:27 and ive been at it for about a week now Mar 30 12:22:00 seems most stuffs contradictory online Mar 30 12:22:39 Dan2: have you looked at the SRM? Mar 30 12:22:48 srm? Mar 30 12:23:59 http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack#Hardware_Files Mar 30 12:24:34 ive tried to decipher whts on the official BB pages which really says little (to someone who is still trying to learn all this stuff" Mar 30 12:24:54 and tried to use other online stuff ive found via google Mar 30 12:26:30 tbr: thanks for the link tho, about to head to bed will check it out 2morrow Mar 30 12:27:22 np Mar 30 12:27:56 yea SRM has all you need on GPIO pin use Mar 30 12:58:06 Dan2: get a copy of tietze&schenk. if possible to current (14th) edition Mar 30 12:58:25 Dan2: it explains a lot of the electrical stuff you need to know (and a lot more too) Mar 30 12:59:00 that something physical or something i can get online? Mar 30 13:21:08 anyone know if the drivers have been implemented for the WL18xx wifi cape in the new debian release? Mar 30 13:29:25 dogrocket12: if thats the same realtek chipset as the wn725n....... forget it :| Mar 30 13:33:10 lol.. no its texas instruments new wifi direct chip, looks like they set up drivers and kernel build for angstrom but would rather have it on debian Mar 30 13:33:35 http://boardzoo.com/index.php/beaglebone-wl1835mod-w-chip-antenna.html#.UzgYu6K0yVo Mar 30 13:45:50 when trying to power the bbb through th p9 header should i be using the vdd_5v or sys_5v? Mar 30 13:58:48 deluxe247: I used the one thats also on the Jack Mar 30 13:59:53 i figured it out just hoping i didnt damage my beaglebone black as i had it upside down and had my pins hooked up wrong. Mar 30 17:48:55 hi, i'm trying to get the w1_therm kernel module to recognize mt DS18B20 sensor on a bbb. i got it working a while ago on debian with a 3.8 kernel by following these instructions (http://hipstercircuits.com/dallas-one-wire-temperature-reading-on-beaglebone-black-with-dto/), but the 3.13 kernel i'm using now no longer has a capemgr... Mar 30 17:49:54 i've manually edited the device tree and rebooted, but the pin P9.22 they're using is permanently pulled low. here are my changes to the device tree: http://pastebin.com/NkRVwgEK Mar 30 17:50:33 i'm not really sure how to continue from here… Mar 30 18:35:46 what is starting udhcpd when usb cable is plugged (when using ubuntu) Mar 30 18:37:49 ok, udev rules Mar 30 20:56:31 anyone around that can assist with an arch linux install on sd? Mar 30 21:04:27 Can anyone point me to cape design requirements? I'm looking for requirements for the EEPROM ID and the stack address Mar 30 21:24:47 n-st: just checked mine with the debian image from bone-debian-7.4-2014-03-27-2gb.img and its working Mar 30 21:33:27 Dan2: which kernel version are you using? Mar 30 21:33:44 what ever comes in that version? Mar 30 21:33:50 * Dan2 is a noob Mar 30 21:34:01 can i check from the command line? Mar 30 21:34:03 Dan2: could you run `uname -a` for me, please? Mar 30 21:34:28 Linux beaglebone 3.8.13-bone43 #1 SMP Wed Mar 26 14:21:39 UTC 2014 armv7l GNU/Linux Mar 30 21:34:45 ah, yeah, 3.8 still has the capemgr Mar 30 21:35:13 ahh. thats the latest image tho? Mar 30 21:35:28 i've read in the bbb google group that the kernel maintainer removed it in 3.13 (or possibly earlier) Mar 30 21:35:44 how to i change to 3.13? Mar 30 21:36:30 you'd need to install one of the kernel builds from here: https://rcn-ee.net/deb/wheezy-armhf/ (one with a "bone" in the name) Mar 30 21:36:42 ahh Mar 30 21:36:57 you don't have to, though, as long as everything's working for you Mar 30 21:37:48 nah im havin other issues as well, cant get cacti to run any more Mar 30 21:37:53 i tried 3.12 for my usb wifi adapter a while ago. didn't do much good, but i've kept the kernel up to date since then Mar 30 21:38:22 its working off my emmc which is an old setup, tryin to get it running from my sd and its all kinds of fail Mar 30 21:38:23 but now that i need it, the capemgr has been removed :| Mar 30 21:53:12 Dan2: this is an easy to follow upgrade post http://datko.net/2014/03/21/bbb_upgrade_3_13/ Mar 30 21:53:40 oh cheers, was just searching and failing to see how i go about that :) Mar 30 21:54:16 actually, jbdatko is in the channel too... that's his blog :) Mar 30 21:55:10 win :D Mar 30 21:57:11 i'm still scratching my head with arch... anyone successfully got arch working (w/o serial access)? Mar 30 22:00:15 pretty sure i had arch installed originally, tho maybe im getting confused with running it on my raspberry pi Mar 30 22:00:35 Oh hai :) Mar 30 22:00:35 but it was to much of a pain in the arse and im still trying to learn debian Mar 30 22:00:47 * Dan2 waves at jbdatko Mar 30 22:01:21 Dan2: If you want a vanallia 3.13, the upgrade script is easy. The custom kernel is a little bit more work, but not that bad Mar 30 22:02:07 You can change the dts file by hand for custom cape configuration since there is no capemgr. But I haven't done it yet Mar 30 22:02:16 cheers. ill see how far i get through before i break it. im still mostly just messing around till my new sd card rocks up to do a more final install Mar 30 22:03:20 Dan2: Ok, let me know if you find any issues with the post and I'll add clarifications. Mar 30 22:03:38 jbdatko: any experience running arch? :D Mar 30 22:04:07 only about 5 mins before getting fed up with everything being different and going back to debian :P Mar 30 22:04:19 b0o: Unfortunately no. It's been on my todo list as I like their approach. Mar 30 22:04:41 but Debian just works (â„¢) for me Mar 30 22:04:45 yeah, ditto Mar 30 22:05:09 looking for arch due to a project I want to try (based on arch) Mar 30 22:05:15 but yeah, I typically prefer debian Mar 30 22:12:36 jbdatko: essentially trying to implement this https://github.com/grugq/PORTALofPi Mar 30 22:13:02 tor middle box that routes all traffic Mar 30 22:13:50 is there any news sources that focus on BBB? Mar 30 22:14:37 doesn't seem very pi specific Mar 30 22:14:44 vagrantc: it's not Mar 30 22:15:02 which is why I was going to be lazy and edit for the BBB Mar 30 22:15:47 b0o: Just be sure to use Tor's debian repo (or build from source) since the packages in the debian universe are old Mar 30 22:16:06 jbdatko: cool, thanks Mar 30 22:16:31 I had no issues with that running on the BBB. Although, as a relay, I did have to tweak MaxAdvertisedBandwidth otherwise the BBB would complain about too many connections Mar 30 22:17:31 yeah, I got most of the relay stuff going briefly after we talked the other day Mar 30 22:17:53 but, unless I'm misunderstanding what a relay means, that's not entirely what I'm going for Mar 30 22:18:37 b0o: oh yeah, sorry, that project is like to this I think: http://learn.adafruit.com/onion-pi/install-tor Mar 30 22:19:09 jbdatko: yep, you got it Mar 30 22:20:05 ok, flashing debian again and going to give this a try Mar 30 22:20:35 Just keep in mind the standard Tor warnings. Your browser may leak information still in that configuration. https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html.en#warning Mar 30 22:20:51 yep yep Mar 30 22:24:18 jbdatko: any compelling reason to upgrade up to 3.13? Mar 30 22:24:48 3.13 has the OMAP drivers for HWRNG, AES, MD5, and SHA acceleration Mar 30 22:25:02 It also has support for the Ateml I2C TPM, which will be on the CryptoCape Mar 30 22:25:26 apart from the crypto stuff: i don't know Mar 30 22:26:09 i would guess the repo version of tor doesn't use any of the hardware accel stuff out of the box Mar 30 22:26:17 I'll skip it for now, maybe go back later.. Mar 30 22:26:40 No, I submitted a patch to improve the logging of Tor hardware acceleration, as I was playing around with it. Mar 30 22:26:54 It needs a static version of OpenSSL compilied with cryptodev support Mar 30 22:26:57 yeah, I was reading some of that on your blog Mar 30 22:26:59 it's a bit wonky to say the least Mar 30 22:27:08 but... frankly, much of it is over my head :D Mar 30 22:27:54 i can appreciate that, sometimes the posts are mainly for me so I don't forget what I was doing Mar 30 22:28:30 tl;dr: Hardware crypto on the BBB w/ Tor isn't quite ready for prime time Mar 30 22:28:38 yeah, I hear you... I do the same on my blog Mar 30 22:28:43 :D Mar 30 22:34:10 how do i determine which pin this line in a DTS file is refering to: 0x150 0x30 /* spi0_sclk, INPUT_PULLUP | MODE0 */ Mar 30 22:34:31 i presume the 0x150 but how does that map to the P8 or P9 header pins? Mar 30 22:35:14 This blog post explains a lot about the pin mux: http://derekmolloy.ie/beaglebone/beaglebone-gpio-programming-on-arm-embedded-linux/ Mar 30 22:35:30 See the two charts and the video is very much worth your time Mar 30 22:35:42 I don't know off the top of my head though Mar 30 22:36:16 I'm trying to power a high-ish torque servo with my Beablebone, but I don't think it's providing enough power. The servo is very weak Mar 30 22:36:34 Servo takes 6V, up to 1.2 amps. Mar 30 22:37:28 jbdatko, thanks Mar 30 22:37:57 Beaglebone only provides 5V and (I believe) 0.5 amps. Mar 30 22:38:32 I tried using a 4.5V, 1.5A power supply with the servo, but it was even weaker. Any thoughts on how this could be done? Mar 30 22:39:11 I don't really understand why the power supply is weaker than the Beaglebone's output. Mar 30 22:39:25 of course the less voltage you put into it the weaker its going to be Mar 30 22:40:17 my memory of servos is old... arent the 3 wires 2 power and 1 signal in wire? Mar 30 22:41:11 Yes, power, neutral, and signal. Mar 30 22:41:18 I guess you must be right. Mar 30 22:41:21 yea just googling now Mar 30 22:41:49 I had hoped the higher amperage would make up for the lower voltage, but apparently not. Mar 30 22:41:52 you need to run 6V (you said it was a 6v servo) into hte (+)(-) Mar 30 22:42:02 then signal to the BBB Mar 30 22:42:04 This is the servo, it says 4.8-6V. Mar 30 22:42:05 no Mar 30 22:42:05 https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11965 Mar 30 22:42:18 I see. Mar 30 22:42:34 its only volts you need to get the power Mar 30 22:42:52 well, assuming your supply has at least as much as the servo needs Mar 30 22:43:00 *as many amps Mar 30 22:43:20 Okay. I'll just need to get a 6V power supply. There's always a plethora of power cords at the thrift store, so I tried to find one there. This was the highest I could find amongst them, I guess I'll just order one online. Mar 30 22:43:21 you also need to make sure what voltage comes back from the servo as well tho Mar 30 22:43:46 if its a 6v signal coming out your going to be blowing up your BBB Mar 30 22:44:40 Okay, that's bad. You're talking about the signal wire? You mean I have to make sure to protect the BBB over that wire? Mar 30 22:44:49 yup Mar 30 22:45:29 some devices send back the voltage you put into them...... so you feed 6v in and it signals at 6v as well...... Mar 30 22:46:08 I see. So the signal wire isn't giving a positive charge, it's switching what it allows in? Pardon if that seems like a silly question, I'm just getting started with this. Mar 30 22:46:15 depending on how you connext it to the BBB they are only happy with 3.3v Mar 30 22:46:30 But that makes sense, and some of the example diagrams make a lot more sense in that light. Mar 30 22:47:07 sorry i dont know specifically enough about servos, only ever really played with them years (decades) ago in RC cars Mar 30 22:47:38 but ive been playing with gpio's on the bbb Mar 30 22:48:02 so can only give you pretty general info not specific to what your actually doing Mar 30 22:48:03 That's okay. Any recommendation on where to find a 6V power supply? I checked Sparkfun, but they don't have that exact power. Mar 30 22:48:15 I get you. Mar 30 22:48:38 ebay etc? Mar 30 22:49:10 also "Torque: 69.56/83.47 oz-in. (4.8/6.0V)" Mar 30 22:49:38 so its only 69oz-in at 4.8v.... but 83 at 6v Mar 30 22:49:52 from the link you sent for the servo Mar 30 22:49:58 I'll check... Mar 30 22:50:37 I see, good. Mar 30 22:51:03 Hopefully it will be enough at 6V, I don't know exactly how much torque I need. Mar 30 22:51:26 hmm... my BBB doesn't seem to be showing up in windows anymore >.< Mar 30 22:53:07 it would appear I'm having driver issues.... sigh Mar 30 22:53:08 @Dan2 I think I found one on Ebay. Mar 30 23:01:03 jonahbron_: so the servo needs a variable pulse width from the BBB to tell it what position it needs to be in? (im just doing some quick googleing) so the power is being supplied from the bbb to the servo? which means the voltage going into the servo from the psu wouldnt matter..... i assume... tho you will want to check all this out yourself Mar 30 23:01:18 ha...vmware stole the device Mar 30 23:02:15 @Dan2 ordered a 6V 1.5A PS on Ebay. What kind of resistor do I need to bring it down to the 3.3V that the BBB GPIO pin wants? Mar 30 23:02:58 it needs a variable pulse width FROM the BBB not to it dosnt it? from what im reading at the moment Mar 30 23:04:48 Okay, then the resistor is not there to protect the BBB? Mar 30 23:05:41 again.... this is only what im reading now... dont take my word for it.... but it seems if its getting the signal from the bbb its only using what ever voltage the bbb is happy to supply Mar 30 23:06:17 I see. Mar 30 23:06:52 Interesting, because the BBB example for controlling a servo says to put on a 1kolm resistor, while the Arduino Uno example doesn't. Mar 30 23:07:02 (On the signal wire, that is. Mar 30 23:07:03 ) Mar 30 23:07:25 http://learn.adafruit.com/controlling-a-servo-with-a-beaglebone-black/overview Mar 30 23:07:25 arduinos are happy with 5v as far as i know (ive never used one myself) Mar 30 23:08:06 I think you're right. Mar 30 23:08:11 at least in that adafruit project there is separate power and control to the servo Mar 30 23:09:16 @Vaizki thanks for the link. On the "What you need" page, it says the 1kolm resistor is "optional". Why might that be? Mar 30 23:09:48 well it's an overcurrent protector clearly Mar 30 23:10:06 it will prevent your BBB from getting fried if the servo burns out or something Mar 30 23:10:26 * jonahbron_ quickly google's the meaning of "overcurrent" Mar 30 23:10:26 it limits the amount of current Mar 30 23:10:47 Okay, I see. Mar 30 23:10:49 TOO MUCH POWER, SCOTTY! Mar 30 23:11:05 The 1 kΩ resistor is not strictly necessary, but will protect your BBB from damage is something should go wrong in the servo. Mar 30 23:11:12 says at the end of the page Mar 30 23:11:56 So does it really need to be a 1kolm, or can I use a my 350molm resistor? Mar 30 23:12:52 Ah, you're right, it does say that. Mar 30 23:13:04 it's ohm. this is an olm.. http://www.tocadacotia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/animais-que-chamam-atencao-por-algum-motivo-11.jpg Mar 30 23:13:31 cute... how do i power one of them with a BBB ;) Mar 30 23:13:48 Oops, my bad. Mar 30 23:14:02 :) Mar 30 23:14:33 Looks like we've got a comedian on our hands! Mar 30 23:15:22 :P Mar 30 23:15:33 anyway it's 2:15am and I need sleep :) Mar 30 23:15:41 don't fry those BBBs... Mar 30 23:15:45 Thanks for your help, Vaizki. Mar 30 23:15:48 I won't. Mar 30 23:16:19 Dang, 6V must be an odd voltage, because almost no-one sells them. Mar 30 23:16:27 Evening. Mar 30 23:16:41 so yea anyway, going by that adafruit link i was on the right track about the BBB sending its voltage to the servo so what psu you use to power the servo dosnt matter Mar 30 23:17:02 Okay, awesome. Mar 30 23:17:10 I guess that's all I need to know until it arrives. Mar 30 23:17:19 but the 1k ohm resister is probably a good idea Mar 30 23:17:25 I'll just plug it in when it gets here and see what happens. Mar 30 23:17:51 Okay, I'll have to order some, then. I only have 350mohm and 10kohm resistors. Mar 30 23:18:42 350 megaohm? really? Mar 30 23:18:55 milliohm. Mar 30 23:19:14 * jonahbron_ can't tell if Vaizki is joking or just tired Mar 30 23:19:21 those are small ;) Mar 30 23:19:38 Yes. Sparkfun Inventor's Kit. Mar 30 23:19:39 and I'm tired Mar 30 23:20:44 Splendid, I'm signing-off. Thanks very much for your help, Dan2 and Vaizki. I really appreciate it. Mar 30 23:20:52 :) Mar 30 23:22:05 I just got one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/1280-Pcs-64-Values-1-ohm-10M-ohm-1-4W-Metal-Film-Resistors-Assortment-Kit-Set-/360685773735?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53fa8c23a7 Mar 30 23:22:13 for all those random resistor values Mar 30 23:22:42 8-| Mar 30 23:22:52 1200 resistors? That's quite a lot. Mar 30 23:23:07 Not a bad deal, though. Mar 30 23:23:11 naah, 20 each of 64 different typed Mar 30 23:23:24 I do measure them before I use them though :) Mar 30 23:23:26 just in case.. Mar 30 23:23:35 Good thinking. Mar 30 23:23:45 Now get to bed! Mar 30 23:23:47 :-) Mar 30 23:24:13 yarrr of to bed& Mar 31 01:51:48 Hi there. I'm new to BeagleBone Black, and I'm having trouble with the whole "getting started" thing. I ran through it the first time, and didn't have problems. I've just installed the latest distribution, now I cannot connect to 192.168.7.2 Mar 31 01:52:00 Any suggestions? Mar 31 02:00:31 Anyone help me with my connection problem/ Mar 31 02:00:33 ? Mar 31 02:00:35 thomson: could be about a million different things. ive not really used mine over usb just plugged a lan cable straight in. Mar 31 02:01:02 maybe try ping 192.168.7.2 ? Mar 31 02:03:36 Running on a laptop with windows 8. How would I ping? Mar 31 02:03:54 open a command prompt Mar 31 02:04:14 ive never used win8 so dont really know Mar 31 02:47:36 howdy folks... Mar 31 02:47:43 Greetings. Mar 31 02:49:04 just thought I would check in :) I've been playing with my beagle board xM and have a beagle bone black on it's way :) Mar 31 02:49:44 I've got the black, but I'm having trouble with it. Doesn't help that I'm totally new to this. Mar 31 02:50:57 Im a total nubs as well, i struggled with the beagle board xm for a while, got a raspberry pi which oddly enough was less intimidating... and now I'm back to see what I can do with my xM :) Mar 31 02:51:16 and bought a BBB for good measure. Mar 31 02:51:49 what are you having issues with? Mar 31 02:54:56 okie doke... :) Mar 31 02:57:10 Ok, chat stopped scrolling. I can't use Chrome to access 192.168.7.2 on the BBB. It worked before, now it isn't. Mar 31 02:58:17 i don't have the bbb yet so i have not tried the usb network feature.... Mar 31 02:58:30 have you tried connecting the ethernet cable to your router? Mar 31 02:58:48 I reflashed the emmc with the latest Ansgtrom distro again just a short while ago. Now, I'm trying to find the drivers on the laptop to erase and reinstall them. Mar 31 02:58:53 and then check your router dhcp table for it? Mar 31 02:59:24 Not using a router, just the supplied usb cable, which worked fine before. Mar 31 02:59:56 are you using windows to connect to it or mac? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Mar 31 03:00:00 2014
