**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jan 05 02:59:58 2015 Jan 05 05:44:23 I want to run a webserver on beaglebone black so that i can access it over internet(not on LAN nor WLAN). where can i refer for this Jan 05 05:45:00 to control the LED on the board Jan 05 05:49:34 Jim_, there is already a web server running on the BBB, if you forward TCP port 80 to the BBB IP address that will work but it's insecure Jan 05 05:54:01 that means anyone in the internet can access it. Am i correct @The_Ball Jan 05 05:56:36 how can i forward the TCP port 80 to BBB IP address? Jan 05 05:57:59 Jim_, that's correct. You have to refer to your modem or router instructions on how to forward a prot Jan 05 06:04:32 Thanks #The_Ball. Jan 05 06:06:01 is there any way to include security features for accessing the web server page of BBB by usrname and pwd? Jan 05 06:09:36 Jim_, yes for sure, it's running the Apache web server which has all the features you could wish for, but you will have to configure it manually Jan 05 06:17:43 oh. ok, I will refer that. Thanks for the information <@The_Ball> Jan 05 06:18:04 @Jim_ Jan 05 06:18:10 _Jim Jan 05 10:30:14 https://github.com/RobertCNelson/linux-dev/commits?author=RobertCNelson makes a nice read Jan 05 10:58:32 hi everyone! I am new to GSOC. I have the experience over beaglebone and love to work with it. I want to be a future gsocer. I strongly feel I can contribute to development of beaglebone. please suggest me how shall I proceed for GSoc Jan 05 10:59:58 hi everyone! I am new to GSOC. I have the experience over beaglebone and love to work with it. I want to be a future gsocer. I strongly feel I can contribute to development of beaglebone. please suggest me how shall I proceed for GSoc Jan 05 11:00:54 gsoc? Jan 05 11:01:18 google summer of code. Jan 05 12:18:55 hey Jan 05 14:20:38 is anyone here from Israel? Jan 05 14:39:38 greetings Jan 05 14:42:33 cat /etc/dogtag BeagleBoard.org BeagleBone Debian Image 2014-04-23 Jan 05 14:42:52 trying to do a kernel update, have done the git update, including a reset --hard to make sure Jan 05 14:42:53 cat dog Jan 05 14:43:03 mouse snake Jan 05 14:43:39 The kernel updates fine, script exits cleanly, but doesn't update things in uboot, to use things not in uboot. I am missing a step and I cannot seem to find it Jan 05 14:55:24 hi all Jan 05 14:56:18 can the bb black be hooked up as a usb attached device so I can directly work on the emmc while attached to another box? Thnks Jan 05 14:56:22 Thanks rather Jan 05 15:11:15 Hey ! I am new to the beaglebone community and would like to contribute. Jan 05 15:13:28 Can someone get me started. I am well acquainted with embedded systems and have worked quite a lot with arduino and TI MSP430 uP Jan 05 15:51:34 Hey ! I am new to the beaglebone community and would like to contribute. Jan 05 15:51:49 Can someone get me started. I am well acquainted with embedded systems and have worked quite a lot with arduino and TI MSP430 uP Jan 05 15:53:24 are you having a problem? Jan 05 15:58:11 I recently used BBB for a quadruped robot and got interested. So I thought if I could be of some help with BBB development Jan 05 16:12:36 Hey guy, I have a problem editing/writing codes in Cloud9 ! When I open a new tab there should eb a space to write my code ! I cannot see anything or anywhere to write the code ! do u know how i can solve it ? Jan 05 16:20:43 which device node is the usb ethernet on a new bbb debian build? Jan 05 16:20:52 I need to try to connect to it Jan 05 16:22:19 (Looking it up online too) Jan 05 16:23:29 I thought it was uap0 however that appears wrong Jan 05 16:25:03 nevermind.. found the avm device Jan 05 16:25:04 er acm Jan 05 16:25:56 cheers all Jan 05 20:52:32 anyone here ever RMA a BBB? Jan 05 20:56:09 Never had one needing RMA. Jan 05 20:57:00 nope, not me Jan 05 20:57:33 i might have had a bad power supply... Jan 05 20:57:35 not sure Jan 05 20:57:39 took two of them down Jan 05 20:57:51 i got them both RMA'd and sent the power supply with them Jan 05 20:58:06 everything was from adafruit Jan 05 20:58:31 ...just not sure what to expect with the RMA, is all Jan 05 21:08:14 tb__ were they element14 boards? Jan 05 21:09:02 no Jan 05 21:09:25 from Adafruit, but i do not think they were Element14 boards Jan 05 21:09:39 they didn't say that on them that i could see, to be honest Jan 05 21:12:17 tb__: Which Adafruit SKU did you buy? Jan 05 21:13:47 the element14 boards are kinda hard to miss since they say "element14" on them in big letters Jan 05 21:14:00 and lack a doggie Jan 05 21:15:14 nope Jan 05 21:15:22 then these were NOT those Jan 05 21:15:40 i don't know the SKU number--I'd have to log on to Adafruit's site to find the order Jan 05 21:15:53 but I don't believe they were E14 Jan 05 21:16:40 and when i submitted the RMA requests, i listed the serial number for each board on their respective form...and the RMA requests were both granted Jan 05 21:17:03 (and it said at the top of the page to use a different form for E14 boards) Jan 05 21:17:13 so i would say they are not E14 Jan 05 21:17:22 why does that matter? Jan 05 21:17:37 are there known issues with E14 BBBs? Jan 05 21:17:48 No one knows. Jan 05 21:17:57 But they are different, and cheaper. Jan 05 21:18:26 these were both $55, i can tell you that Jan 05 21:18:30 (each) Jan 05 21:18:42 Who are you RMA-ing through? Jan 05 21:18:49 Beagle hospital Jan 05 21:19:07 I see. Jan 05 21:19:12 they have received both of them, and emailed me to tell me that they'd received them...and would get back to me Jan 05 21:19:21 I would imagine that their RMA works pretty much like any other RMA. Jan 05 21:19:30 just not idea as to how long that takes, and what happens during the eval process Jan 05 21:20:14 i guess what i am wondering is if it's even worthwhile to pay to fix them? Jan 05 21:20:37 i have no idea if it's even possible--depending upon what's wrong, of course Jan 05 21:23:40 hi, What kind for battery can be used for beablebone board ? I need to use beableboane remotely , also battery has to be light in weight. Jan 05 21:23:42 thanks Jan 05 21:23:55 5v Jan 05 21:24:03 5v regulated, i mean Jan 05 21:24:29 any brand or any thing ? Jan 05 21:24:32 so whatever you want--as long as it's like 4.3-5.7 volts (according to PMIC datasheet) Jan 05 21:24:47 the specs say 5.0v +/- 0.25v Jan 05 21:25:12 for external power... but the PMIC data sheet says 4.3-5.7v, as i recall Jan 05 21:25:36 hmmm ok Jan 05 21:25:38 thanks Jan 05 21:26:03 i think the thing uses like 2.3w at full-bore Jan 05 21:26:27 so, you can convert that to milli-amp hours for your battery Jan 05 21:26:39 P = I * E Jan 05 21:26:59 2.3 = I * 5 Jan 05 21:27:27 so at full load, 1GHZ...about 0.46a Jan 05 21:27:35 460 mA Jan 05 21:27:42 so size your battery accordingly Jan 05 21:28:16 http://www.element14.com/community/community/designcenter/single-board-computers/next-gen_beaglebone/blog/2013/08/10/bbb--rechargeable-on-board-battery-system Jan 05 21:28:23 this what i found Jan 05 21:29:00 1400 maH Jan 05 21:29:11 so yeah, around 3.5 hours Jan 05 21:29:41 what if I want to rum motors too Jan 05 21:29:44 1400 / 460 = 3.04ish Jan 05 21:30:01 run* Jan 05 21:30:07 i seriously doubt you'll be using 2.3w ALL the time, lol Jan 05 21:30:13 DON'T Jan 05 21:30:16 not from the BBB Jan 05 21:30:28 it cannot source anywhere near that amount of current Jan 05 21:30:36 U have old BeagleBone Jan 05 21:30:36 can you say... "poof"? Jan 05 21:30:41 not the black one Jan 05 21:30:45 that's why there are motor capes Jan 05 21:30:45 yes, a BBW Jan 05 21:31:11 so the 2.3w full-load value would be for the BBB, as i recall Jan 05 21:31:23 hmm Jan 05 21:31:31 you need an H-bridge with a dedicated power supply nick___ Jan 05 21:32:00 h bridgle for motors ? Jan 05 21:32:03 what kind of motor are you talking about? Jan 05 21:32:06 yes Jan 05 21:32:29 I have one of those, can run 2 dc motors Jan 05 21:32:43 once I test I will get another one too Jan 05 21:32:43 the H-bridge is an IC that takes current through a couple transistors for the motor, and uses a dedicated supply for the motor Jan 05 21:33:47 also, is there a good library for BB for stepper motor Jan 05 21:35:01 Derek Molloy's book gives you some C/C++ code Jan 05 21:35:16 otherwise check the bonescript docs Jan 05 21:35:21 (for node.js) Jan 05 21:35:25 molloy make you work extra :) Jan 05 21:35:28 like a lot Jan 05 21:35:31 :D Jan 05 21:35:35 yeah, tell me about it Jan 05 21:35:42 haha Jan 05 21:35:50 i've been working from his work for almost three weeks! Jan 05 21:36:00 ...and am only in chapter 10 of 13 Jan 05 21:36:02 poor you Jan 05 21:36:04 he' Jan 05 21:36:13 he's been kicking my ass, lol Jan 05 21:36:22 I did follow his videos. Jan 05 21:36:27 me too Jan 05 21:36:33 for 2+ years now Jan 05 21:36:42 then I notice direct approach was better Jan 05 21:36:48 like with perl to pins Jan 05 21:36:51 Note that a stepper motor of any reasonable size will want either a dedicated driver, or a pair of H-bridges. Jan 05 21:36:55 sory python to pins Jan 05 21:37:16 Adafruit Python library Jan 05 21:37:57 I have dual h bridge for stepper motor... only with my code motor runs in one direction :D Jan 05 21:38:20 so circuit is fine, I think Jan 05 21:39:19 A stepper motor even running one direction needs two H-bridges, unless you have a unipolar motor. Jan 05 21:40:09 Bipolar stepper motors have four wires, which are the ends of two coils. To make the motor step, you run one coil one direction, then the other, then reverse the first, then reverse the second--two h-bridges. Jan 05 21:40:11 bi pollar Jan 05 21:40:45 Fortunately, Allegro makes excellent stepper driver ICs, and Pololu makes excellent breakout boards for them, so all the hard work is done. Jan 05 21:41:02 ALl you have to do then is feed the driver step and direction pulses. Jan 05 21:44:20 WOW! Jan 05 21:44:33 just got RMA notification back already Jan 05 21:44:42 nice to know... Jan 05 21:44:55 BOTH units were found to have the VDD_3v3A rail shorted to ground Jan 05 21:45:15 both will be have the processor replaced, free of charge Jan 05 21:51:18 So, $9 shipping back to me for each--although I asked if they could just ship them together in the same box... **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Jan 06 02:59:59 2015
