**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Oct 12 03:00:02 2017 Oct 12 03:04:00 hello can anyone answer a BBGW question about setting up headless ? Oct 12 03:04:37 how do I set up VNC since the thing has no HDMI port and what is the window manager Oct 12 13:51:35 hi all Oct 12 13:51:50 i have one question for the HW of BeagleBone Black Oct 12 13:52:11 BBBlack use DDR3 512MB Oct 12 13:52:17 btw, i want to change that up to 1GB Oct 12 13:52:36 so must i change uboot for BBBlack Oct 12 13:53:21 or i still can use uboot of BBBlack Oct 12 15:49:38 (yes, it needs a change) Oct 12 16:51:34 hi any one guide me to use the ti pinmux tool Oct 12 17:05:34 BBX15: that's probably a better question for TI's E2E forum Oct 12 17:58:31 k Oct 12 19:01:48 any body using the beagleboard c4 ? Oct 12 19:17:35 the BBC? Oct 12 19:17:39 what about it? Oct 12 19:22:34 beagleboard c4 ? Oct 12 19:24:46 is that a C4 of the classic board or? Oct 12 19:24:55 C4 is just a revision Oct 12 19:25:06 but there have been several members of the beagleboard family Oct 12 19:26:03 i got this in 2011 it was before the xm Oct 12 19:27:51 tryin to find out if anybody has installed ubuntu on this beagleboard c4 Oct 12 19:28:13 that sounds like a classic Oct 12 19:28:23 i think that has been done Oct 12 19:28:29 donno if the links for images are still valid Oct 12 19:29:12 i took this out of the closet and wanted to try install ubuntu instead of angstrom Oct 12 19:29:30 look in elinux Oct 12 19:29:35 or install the debian image Oct 12 19:29:56 the xM image should for the most part work on the classic Oct 12 19:30:03 BBX and BBC are very similar Oct 12 19:30:21 debian is ok ,, i prefer ubuntu tho Oct 12 19:31:04 this weekend i will fire the puppy up and see what happens Oct 12 19:31:49 got to run... Oct 12 19:33:01 i ran angstrom,,,, and was able to xwin in and with the usb camera i could network video thur apache to my windozz box Oct 12 19:34:59 i broke down a couple of floppy disk drives and took the stepper motors out and controlled them for pan and tilt thru the ios ports Oct 12 19:36:11 created a web page with a couple of sliders to pan and tilt Oct 12 20:50:40 heh, nice Oct 12 21:03:17 Hello... Oct 12 21:04:20 Do you think that the cellular phone with a FireFox OS will be able to accept commands via the BBB/Linux? Oct 12 21:05:14 ... Oct 12 21:05:39 This dude thinks so: https://github.com/autonome/context. I found a Linux talk on this subject a while back. Oct 12 21:48:04 wow you have IOS running on the Beagle?! Oct 12 21:48:54 No. Oct 12 21:49:20 I have ideas of how to do things and just effort in store. Are you on board? Oct 12 21:50:39 I am running Linux Stretch. Oct 12 22:47:28 GenTooMan: Hello! I am listening to a GPS sensor tutorial. Oct 12 22:47:52 I have a SIM29 GPS sensor. Oct 12 22:51:42 Some fellow name McWhorter is telling a story about Python and GPS. It is for children but he has some nice software. Oct 12 22:52:04 I am using my BBGW to work with the Grove GPS. Oct 12 22:53:05 Stories about Python and GPS? that should be a bit odd big snakes using GPS units might be scarey too. :D Oct 12 22:54:29 Yep. Good joke, mate. Where did that snake go and why can it not be located? Oct 13 00:30:19 That fellow is smart with Python. Sheesh. Oct 13 00:31:04 I just got the BBB to keep a .txt file of GPS data that I can then upload to a Google Earth type platform to see if I go left or right. Oct 13 00:31:05 Damn! Oct 13 00:44:38 Hey, do I have to use a source like FileZilla to get recorded .txt files of the BBB and put them on my Hard Drive? Oct 13 00:49:40 If you setup a intranet FTP server on your machine then you can use TFTP from python to send .txt files Oct 13 00:50:30 Got it. I have WinSCP and I cannot pay the guy right now. He deserves at least $5.00. Oct 13 00:50:31 The problem then becomes knowing a file arrived and how to get google earth to do stuff with it. Oct 13 00:50:51 I got it. Man! Please hold. Oct 13 00:51:40 I forgot to save it as a .kml file. Oct 13 00:51:42 Sheesh! Oct 13 00:53:09 I'm just glad I'm not involved. Oct 13 00:53:31 ha! Oct 13 00:53:41 I am having so much fun. Hold my bone for me! Oct 13 00:53:46 Sorry. Oct 13 00:54:56 The thing on Google Earth does not accept .txt files. I was mistaken. Oct 13 00:56:41 It accepts .ice_cream_sandwhich files right? Or some random dumb food. Oct 13 00:56:53 No man, I am serious. Oct 13 00:57:15 no .ice_cream sandwich files! Oct 13 00:58:16 The .log file is accepted but the damn NotePad ++ does not save in .log format. Oct 13 00:58:43 Yes it does it will save it as whatever you want. Oct 13 00:59:03 New file copy paste save as ... whatever Oct 13 00:59:50 Otay! Oct 13 00:59:53 Or you don't have a .log format file? Oct 13 00:59:56 whatever that is. Oct 13 01:00:32 Okay, there are about 12 different file formats accepted on Google Earth, i.e. an older model version. Oct 13 01:00:53 Now, I just need to get the file saved as one of these files. Oct 13 01:03:28 GenTooMan: I have to save a file on a Linux machine. Then, put the save .whatever file on Win machine from a Linux machine. Oct 13 01:03:59 The issue is once I get it to the Win machine, the file maker I own does not have the required files formats to save under. Oct 13 01:04:06 Boo Oct 13 01:04:52 Why can't the BBB just put the file into google Earth for you? Oct 13 01:05:18 I guess it could but I only use PuTTY or Cloud9. Oct 13 01:05:43 I do not use it as a solo machine with OS support. Oct 13 01:05:49 HTTP etc. is just text commands being sent ussually. Oct 13 01:06:02 Oh. Oct 13 01:07:07 I suppose another if you have a console session is to use sz and rz Oct 13 01:07:51 sz (send zmodem) and rz (receive zmodem) all you to transfer files in just a text session. Oct 13 01:10:06 I use to use that with telnet (of all things). Oct 13 01:10:58 I am stuck for now. Please hold. Oct 13 01:18:02 I have some odd formats of files that are accepted, e.g. .mps, .tcx, and/or rte. Oct 13 01:20:02 None of the programs I have currently can save files in these formats. Oct 13 01:30:50 perhaps you should look up what the formats are and where they come from and mehaps you could get a tool for translation. Oct 13 01:32:21 I am searching now. I keep getting an idea of conversion software but I do not find any. Off to look up more conversion softwares. Oct 13 01:32:23 Thank you. Oct 13 01:43:25 I was once told 2 brains is better than none. Oct 13 01:46:06 Help a brother! Oct 13 01:46:27 I think I have some type of brian but it does not jefferey! Oct 13 01:48:18 GenTooMan: I am looking everywhere for file conversion software and coming up empty. Boo! Are there any Linux commands you know about to change file formats? Oct 13 01:52:14 set_: well if you know the format information and you know the information output from the python code you can create whatever format you need with that information by modifying the tool Oct 13 01:53:37 So you can change the python code to make what you want therefore. Oct 13 01:53:52 I need a .mps file to run on Google Earth but all I have is a ton of file types that are not a .mps file. Oct 13 01:53:57 ... Oct 13 01:54:08 the issue then is finding out what the format is Oct 13 01:54:16 This is a no-brainer but I am coming up empty. Oct 13 01:54:19 .mps! Oct 13 01:54:40 I can save in a lot of languages but not in .mps format. Oct 13 01:55:00 it's obviously marzipan political subtilty file Oct 13 01:55:14 Oh sorry. Please hold. I will look it up again. Oct 13 01:56:05 .mps is mathmatical programming system file types. Oct 13 01:58:11 I kind of liked mine. So if you can find what the format is you can create it from the information you have in the python code. Instead of .txt you can create a .mps by modifying it. Oct 13 01:59:21 so, instead of taco.txt, I would save it as taco.mps? Oct 13 01:59:52 Oh, I know. You mean where the file gets saved and what file type I have created to save it in? Oct 13 02:01:14 Yes in the python code you have to do the GPS magic. If you know the .mps format and information then you should be able to create it from the source you have that creates the .txt and instead of .txt you get .mps (or both) Oct 13 02:01:55 For instance: GPSdata=open('/home/debian/GPS_data/GPS.txt' should be GPSdata=open('/home/debian/GPS_data/GPS.mps') Oct 13 02:01:59 ... Oct 13 02:02:01 right? Oct 13 02:03:06 ummm yes except the data you write won't be the same what happens with the file GPSdata needs to be different. It outputs a specific format which is likely NOT .mps : Oct 13 02:03:24 Right. Oct 13 02:03:26 Dang it. Oct 13 02:04:31 I can only write my data in .txt format and then put it in a .kml formatted file but I cannot save the ending file as .mps and/or other needed file format. This is the issue. Oct 13 02:04:32 Boo! Oct 13 02:05:35 <<<< on break thinking of another route... Oct 13 02:25:26 I figured something out but no go. The system reports back an error: could not find the device gpx filesystem. Boo! Oct 13 02:33:19 Ok well I'm falling over right now actually more acurately sleep typing. Oct 13 02:35:14 Okay sir, see you later. Oct 13 02:35:30 My only suggestion on your error is to verify you are communicating with your GPS. Oct 13 02:35:50 Yep. The download of info. is for uploading it to the system. Oct 13 02:35:53 Oops! Oct 13 02:56:14 Tell GenTooMan: I found something! Oct 13 02:56:28 They have it for Linux too! Boy! Oct 13 02:57:25 https://github.com/gpsbabel/gpsbabel is how I will use the .gpx file to run what I use from the BBB and GPS to the Google Earth application. boy! **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Oct 13 03:00:02 2017
