Jun 10 05:24:10 <foreverska> can you not print from a pthread?
Jun 10 06:30:11 <Rotti> hi
Jun 10 06:31:35 <nyt-> hi
Jun 10 08:56:23 <vanz> hi
Jun 10 08:56:53 <vanz> well, any one there who could help me in camera selection for my bb xm
Jun 10 09:03:15 <vanz> any body there please ?
Jun 10 09:06:16 <av500> a usb camera
Jun 10 09:06:22 <av500> preferably one with a Linux driver
Jun 10 09:11:01 <varad_> av500: I've used Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 with my BBxM
Jun 10 09:11:28 <varad_> av500: No issues as such
Jun 10 09:11:51 <woglinde> why than you asking?
Jun 10 09:12:10 <varad_> av500: What do you intend to use it for?
Jun 10 09:12:59 <varad_> av500: sorry, I meant vanz
Jun 10 09:13:06 <woglinde> ups
Jun 10 09:13:08 <woglinde> sorry
Jun 10 09:13:13 <woglinde> vanz and varad
Jun 10 09:15:20 <vanz> well, I am thinking about developing a stereo vision algorithm for industrial measurement..
Jun 10 09:17:00 <vanz> is it possible to measure the distance or to calculate the length of an object
Jun 10 09:21:00 <vanz> varad you there?
Jun 10 09:24:20 <varad> vanz: opencv?
Jun 10 09:25:08 <keesj> matching based on images requires to match pixels and colors and crap
Jun 10 09:25:53 <varad> vanz: I did something similar (calculating distance of a person from the camera) on a BBxM
Jun 10 09:26:07 <keesj> laser * cam is easy and MS kinect also.
Jun 10 09:26:32 <varad> vanz: It becomes too slow with two cameras connected
Jun 10 09:26:36 <keesj> something like that (distance between the eye's is indeed probably possible using opencv)
Jun 10 09:29:25 <vanz> well, I need something more accurate measurement speed is n't quite important for me but accuracy is ?
Jun 10 09:32:14 <vanz> more precisely I need to measure the length between two railway tracks quite weird is nt it?
Jun 10 09:32:56 <nate_lnx> hi has anyone used psplash utility for boot screens
Jun 10 09:33:10 <nate_lnx> any links or documenation on how to use it?
Jun 10 09:36:54 <keesj> and you don't need two cam's just assume the disstance between de eyes no?
Jun 10 09:37:51 <keesj> and the easy thing is to use utra sound and an arduino
Jun 10 09:41:58 <vanz> kees man ultra sound is for crack detection not gauge measurement even if it does is it possible to get the extreme accurate gauge between two tracks ?
Jun 10 09:44:50 <woglinde> vanz is this for controlling the railways for errors?
Jun 10 09:45:07 <woglinde> or something broken?
Jun 10 09:47:42 <vanz> indeed its for both mostly for errors in parallel tracks and indirectly if it does detect broken pieces fair enough !!
Jun 10 09:48:08 <woglinde> vanz how fast is the controll train driving?
Jun 10 09:48:23 <woglinde> I have my doubts that the system will be accurate
Jun 10 09:49:05 <woglinde> or will it be used on a drone?
Jun 10 09:49:45 <vanz> well, I am not gonna build it in a train, its future scope now on a hand pulled trolley to check whether the system works or not.
Jun 10 09:50:43 <vanz> if it works quite fine will think about fast applications
Jun 10 09:51:00 <woglinde> ah okay so its only prototyping
Jun 10 09:51:11 <woglinde> and later a fast fpga or something will be used
Jun 10 09:52:20 <vanz> yes, and I am worried about opencv will get things done or not now planning to port it on a bbxm
Jun 10 10:19:40 <vanz> well, any one there who could help me in camera selection for my bb xm
Jun 10 10:44:35 <woglinde> why not start with cheap usbcams
Jun 10 10:44:45 <woglinde> hm he left
Jun 10 10:48:14 <av500> ofcourse
Jun 10 11:00:03 <woglinde> jo av500
Jun 10 15:59:56 <SoFLy> my beagle will not get recognized by my macintosh
Jun 10 16:00:05 <SoFLy> i've got all the drivers and it was previously recognizing fine
Jun 10 16:01:15 <SoFLy> i reset SMC and PRAM
Jun 10 16:01:29 <SoFLy> the beagle is also not leasing an address on DHCP
Jun 10 16:01:40 <SoFLy> i'm running a white, rev A6A i believe
Jun 10 16:01:45 <SoFLy> so no HDMI to like, plug it in lol
Jun 10 16:09:51 <pjustice> jack your ftdi cable in and watch it boot?
Jun 10 16:11:48 <SoFLy> still here
Jun 10 16:17:43 <thurgood_> do you have a console cable?
Jun 10 16:26:03 <SoFLy> ok, thurgood_ i broke my drivers on purpose and re-installed them and i've got it connecting to network prefs again
Jun 10 16:26:09 <SoFLy> but now it's refusing ssh connections on port 22
Jun 10 16:33:04 <thurgood_> are you connecting as root? or a user account?
Jun 10 16:33:40 <thurgood_> depending on your distro the default may be to disallow root on ssh
Jun 10 16:59:14 <bassturd> anyone familiar with UART's on BBB Debian?
Jun 10 17:15:24 <SoFLy> thurgood_ thanks for offering help and i suck and missed it. it was known_hosts from before
Jun 10 17:15:38 <thurgood_> ah
Jun 10 17:15:41 <SoFLy> had to clear the entry in ~/.ssh/known_hosts for 192.168.7.2
Jun 10 17:15:59 <SoFLy> so now i'm SSH'd in, and now the latest issue is it's not connecting to the network, so more troubleshooting :)
Jun 10 17:16:12 <SoFLy> yup, definitely a common issue. should have caught it quicker.
Jun 10 17:16:39 <thurgood_> do you have ethernet plugged or are you sharing ethernet on your host?
Jun 10 17:17:02 <thurgood_> otherwise you won't have network on the board
Jun 10 17:22:45 <SoFLy> sharing ethernet
Jun 10 17:22:48 <SoFLy> on my host
Jun 10 17:22:55 <SoFLy> actually sharing from a linux VM on my mac hahah
Jun 10 17:23:28 <SoFLy> getting a connect: network is unreachable
Jun 10 17:23:30 <SoFLy> immediately
Jun 10 17:37:58 <aleandros> ls
Jun 10 17:38:00 <aleandros> ls
Jun 10 17:38:43 <aleandros> woops... sorry. High everyone! I'm having a very strange problem with the Adafruit_BBIO library, the PWM module specifically
Jun 10 17:45:30 <aleandros> anyone there?
Jun 10 17:45:56 <thurgood_> yeah, dunno your answer though
Jun 10 17:49:28 <aleandros> \leave
Jun 10 17:49:32 <aleandros> \quit
Jun 10 17:49:40 <nyt-> use /
Jun 10 17:49:41 <nyt-> not \
Jun 10 17:50:15 <aleandros> hahahaha! that was embarrasing
Jun 10 17:50:17 <aleandros> thanks
Jun 10 17:51:02 <zmatt> \ kind of would have made more sense though, as an escape to enter commands
Jun 10 18:10:35 <plm> Hi all
Jun 10 18:24:48 <aleandros> Hi everyone!
Jun 10 18:28:46 <aleandros> maybe you could help me: whenever I edit a JS file withe bonescript and try to run it outside the cloud9 environment, it tells me that there's no such library (bonescript)
Jun 10 18:36:29 <nyt-> how are you running it
Jun 10 18:37:43 <aleandros> just like 'sudo node myscript'
Jun 10 18:38:46 <aleandros> and I installed it with 'sudo npm install -g bonescript' which seemed to work without issues
Jun 10 18:47:38 <nyt-> npm?
Jun 10 18:48:11 <aleandros> npm? I'm not sure I get the question
Jun 10 18:49:13 <nyt-> which distro are you using
Jun 10 18:49:56 <aleandros> debian
Jun 10 18:50:30 <thurgood_> does it run inside the cloud9 environment?
Jun 10 18:51:48 <aleandros> yes. But if I'm in a terminal session, edit a script with vim, and run it... nothing
Jun 10 18:52:29 <thurgood_> probably just the setting of some environment variables
Jun 10 18:54:24 <aleandros> it could be. But I just found something interesting. I'm using a very simple script (the pwm example from the bonescript page). If I run it as sudo, it tells me that there's no library, but if I run it as no-sudo (as 'debian' user) I have a permission denied problem
Jun 10 18:54:38 <aleandros> so it is calling the library at some point...
Jun 10 18:55:53 <thurgood_> possibly a path error
Jun 10 18:57:13 <nyt-> well
Jun 10 18:57:16 <nyt-> it needs to run as root
Jun 10 18:57:28 <nyt-> otherwise it cant access vital files
Jun 10 18:57:33 <aleandros> yes
Jun 10 18:57:53 <nyt-> not sure why bonescript isnt in the path for you, need to plug in my bbb to check in a bit
Jun 10 18:58:17 <nyt-> https://github.com/notnyt/beaglebone ships in the latest deb builds tho if you want to try something in ruby
Jun 10 18:58:24 <thurgood_> copy your path as a user and paste it in for the root, perhaps?
Jun 10 18:58:26 <nyt-> and should just work
Jun 10 18:59:07 <aleandros> awesome. ok
Jun 10 18:59:10 <aleandros> Thanks!
Jun 10 18:59:14 <nyt-> or use -E with sudo
Jun 10 19:00:55 <aleandros> the -E thing worked!!!
Jun 10 19:01:00 <aleandros> what is that?
Jun 10 19:04:46 <aleandros> It has to be witchcraft
Jun 10 19:08:44 <aleandros> oh! just read the man page of use for the -E option. So it has to be envrinment issue like thurgood_ said
Jun 10 19:08:54 <aleandros> thanks to both of you
Jun 11 02:58:23 <treeherder> hi guys
Jun 11 02:58:35 <treeherder> i accidentally erased my mmcblk0
Jun 11 02:58:47 <treeherder> and now i can't boot from any image
Jun 11 02:59:22 <treeherder> EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): error loading journal
Jun 11 02:59:29 <treeherder> is the error
Jun 11 02:59:41 <treeherder> what kind of options are available to me here?
Jun 11 02:59:47 <treeherder> (this is a BBB)
