**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Apr 11 02:59:59 2015 Apr 11 05:05:57 Hello World in GTK Apr 11 05:06:32 Is anyone hearing me Apr 11 05:31:28 yo whats up dog Apr 11 05:34:38 anyone seen a 2" LCD cape for sale? Apr 11 05:37:41 I've seen small SPI displays being used. not sure if there is a cpae Apr 11 08:04:04 hii... i have doubt in AM335x user manual..that FSM sequencer supports 16 steps which can be programmed using step config registers... Apr 11 08:04:11 but in data sheet why they have given 16 different STEPCONFIG reg description ?? i can't see any difference b/w them :/ am i missing anything ?? Apr 11 08:16:26 like STEPCONFIG1, STEPCONFIG2, STEPCONFIG3 .... Apr 11 10:16:52 anyone ?? Apr 11 12:12:08 hai all, I have successfully configured u-boot image for beagleboneblack by following the am335x rashter code and it works fine with linux-3.8 and now i moved to linux-3.14, with the same uboot when i apply lcd overlay, found mismatch in clock frequency. But i have given the same frequency. Any idea?? Apr 11 12:16:20 And this is what happening while applying lcd overlay "http://pastebin.com/CydTVYDH" Apr 11 13:36:45 hello. i am trying to dimming a blue LED using beaglebones's p8_13 PWM ,but i can't get enough voltage from the port , period=10000 and duty =9000 Apr 11 13:41:22 the output dc voltage should be 2.97 , but when i measure i found it 0.6 v ? Apr 11 16:14:50 Ok that's new I wonder if that person understood that the ports are current limited. Apr 11 20:08:53 hello Apr 11 20:09:24 what's the function that i should to use to stop a servo motor ? Apr 11 20:11:33 <_av500_> void stop( void ); Apr 11 20:13:29 _av500_: i am using nodejs Apr 11 20:15:05 in that case function stop(); Apr 11 20:15:51 vvu: i use return; and it works :) Apr 11 20:18:11 vvu _av500_ thank you very much, my sipder is walking Apr 11 21:02:03 Your spider is warped? oh walking. Apr 11 21:02:30 <_av500_> jamesaxl: post pics Apr 11 21:02:33 <_av500_> vids Apr 11 21:02:37 <_av500_> screams Apr 11 21:03:04 _av500_: pics wait Apr 11 21:04:33 Also you need it to chase people around the building using this http://www.pureengineering.com/projects/lepton next you need to add the ability too shoot plastic projectiles at the cat ... and Apr 11 21:14:03 _av500_: http://picpaste.com/P110415_21.10-IRRHeK3o.jpg Apr 11 21:16:03 i should improve it more with flexible feet Apr 11 21:16:49 Hmmm that looks like a protoboard glued to some servos... Apr 11 21:17:58 tindie has this nifty thing https://www.tindie.com/products/SolidGround/hexapod-robot-body/ Apr 11 21:19:00 GenTooMan: yep, i stuck my 2 servo under breadboard and I rotate them with sequences, they make it walk :) Apr 11 21:20:17 GenTooMan: yep i am making using fiber glass with epoxy, i am going to show photo Apr 11 21:29:26 GenTooMan: http://picpaste.com/P110415_21.25-cZXcw41S.jpg Apr 11 21:36:27 GenTooMan: do you like my own pieces :) Apr 11 22:33:53 possible to turn the BB into an USB TTL adapter? Apr 11 23:24:26 What are you trying to do? Apr 12 00:15:02 Hi, I build an image for a beaglebone black using the yocto + meta-ti (kernel 3.14). I want to use an LCD cape 7'' but from now only the HDMI output is working :( Apr 12 00:15:08 So I tried compiling this dts file (https://github.com/RobertCNelson/dtb-rebuilder/blob/3.14-ti/src/arm/am335x-bone-4dcape-70t.dts) to a dtb (with the dtb-rebuilder), copy it to the boot folder and adding "dtb=am335x-bone-4dcape-70t.dtb" to the uEnv.txt. Is the LCD is suppose to work or I need to applied other change to kernel Apr 12 01:02:56 What did the kernel report when it started up? The capes are supposed to have I2C configuration data in them, although I am not sure about display stuff however. Apr 12 02:09:00 In the Cloud9 environment when I open a Terminal window I'm immediately logged in as root. How do I modify the environment to ask for a user ID? Apr 12 02:18:00 Hello my name is brandon, and i purchased a littlemachineshop 3 axis mill. I also purchased a 3 axis kit from probotix with the beaglebone installed. i can connect to the beagle bone and load linux cnc but i dont know which machine configuration to use, nothing i have tried works. can someone please point me in the right direction Apr 12 02:20:29 tahoedwashburn .. linux cnc is a steep learning curve .. and I've tried to do it for a router too. The new versions have some config scripts .. but it is a bad case of RTFM I'm afraid Apr 12 02:23:17 Why not just ask Probotix. I have some of their stuff and they've always been really helpful. Apr 12 02:23:40 +1 jcdammeyer Apr 12 02:24:02 there are a few pre-built machine options but yeah :) Apr 12 02:33:03 Im going to call them monday once they open back up. Im affraid this is not going to be an easy process for me to get up and going. I could have easily went the parallel port and an old computer but i decided against it Apr 12 02:33:41 the hard bit is the linuxcnc .. I'm using a PC .. that bit doesn't make any difference lol Apr 12 02:34:02 Is there another control software that i can use on the beaglebone, that wouldmake set up easier Apr 12 02:34:34 I don't think so .. linuxcnc is very powerful .. but with it comes the complexity. That said, once its done .. its all good :D Apr 12 02:35:15 otherwise there's probably an easy way with some knobs and stuff :p Apr 12 02:35:42 Hopefully probotix can help me. Im still confused on my problem, i can connect to beaglebone, startup linux cnc. but none of the confiurations work except for a few, but none of them will control the mill Apr 12 02:35:56 I work with servo drive systems .. that stuff is pricey .. but it just works out the box. Apr 12 02:36:33 cnc is quite specialised though Apr 12 02:36:48 I will buy a whole machine ready to go the next time. I have been out of this field for way to long Apr 12 02:37:30 yeah my company bought a coupld of second-hand Haas CNC mills recently in the region of a few £000 Apr 12 02:38:18 you won't (often) get a Quick solution out of the beagle .. but you will definitely learn a lot lol Apr 12 02:39:28 Thank you all for your replies, Hopefully i can get this up and going Apr 12 02:39:39 good luck! Apr 12 02:39:49 Thanks! Apr 12 02:40:21 I'm becoming tempted to try some node.js -sigh- Apr 12 02:40:50 but first .. time for sleep .. bbl ;) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Apr 12 02:59:58 2015
