Oct 19 03:12:09 <set_> config-pin P8_XX uart
Oct 19 03:12:39 <set_> Then, in the software, call on your specific UART, e.g. UART1, UART2, or whatever.
Oct 19 03:12:47 <Kitlith> mm, that could work too but I got it working through more boot/uEnv.txt changes.
Oct 19 03:12:54 <set_> Oh.
Oct 19 03:12:55 <set_> Okay.
Oct 19 03:13:12 <set_> Oh...change the cape overlay.
Oct 19 03:18:26 <set_> What UART are you using?
Oct 19 03:18:56 <set_> Let me see some software and the UART you are using in this software. I can probably pick one out of the lineup in our cape overlay sections.
Oct 19 03:24:28 <set_> Kitlith: Look here: https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays
Oct 19 03:24:38 <Kitlith> Yes, I've got it working.
Oct 19 03:24:43 <set_> Cool!
Oct 19 03:24:56 <Kitlith> "<Kitlith> mm, that could work too but I got it working through more boot/uEnv.txt changes."
Oct 19 03:30:06 <set_> did you change that section to uncomment and to add BB-UARTx?
Oct 19 03:31:04 <set_> the bone_capemgr section?
Oct 19 03:32:30 <Kitlith> set_, bone_capemgr isn't working at all because uboot overlays are enabled.
Oct 19 03:32:41 <Kitlith> so instead I did a uboot overlay.
Oct 19 03:32:46 <Kitlith> otherwise identical.
Oct 19 03:32:59 <set_> Oh...okay. I thought you could have taken another route.
Oct 19 03:33:21 <set_> So, do you use overlays a lot?
Oct 19 03:41:57 <set_> I finally figured out how to tell the damn temp. in Python on the BBB. It took one more line. I was out of a "one-more-line" software package.
Oct 19 03:42:02 <set_> Yea and boo!
Oct 19 03:58:00 <set_> dudes and dudets...
Oct 19 03:59:18 <set_> How would I go about saving my data outside of pusher or another IoT site w/ Python software? I tried to write to a file but came up empty.
Oct 19 04:07:47 <set_> ...
Oct 19 04:08:03 <set_> I have nothing to go on except some older software. I cannot find this junk in the Python Doc. yet.
Oct 19 04:18:22 <set_> ...
Oct 19 04:18:45 <set_> Luckily! The Python doc. has some "search" query. Boy!
Oct 19 04:41:41 <set_> ...
Oct 19 06:04:47 <set_> I got that...yea!
Oct 19 06:04:53 <set_> read me a file, mookey!
Oct 19 06:04:58 <set_> BBB!
Oct 19 06:19:25 <bg> lol
Oct 19 06:19:52 <set_> Hey bg: Do you know how to write files in Python on our Linux Distro?
Oct 19 06:20:19 <bg> what distro?
Oct 19 06:20:25 <set_> Sorry...w/ software, i.e. to read over the file for later.
Oct 19 06:20:27 <set_> Debian!
Oct 19 06:21:01 <set_> Get this pastebin.com. Please hold!
Oct 19 06:21:21 <bg> i can, but i'm at work right now.
Oct 19 06:22:18 <set_> Oh. Damn it, man.
Oct 19 06:22:44 <set_> Well, look at this software and let me know what you think: https://pastebin.com/TgDLZxHr.
Oct 19 06:23:40 <bg> ok let me check, and what are you trying to achieve with this?
Oct 19 06:23:44 <set_> ...
Oct 19 06:23:45 <bg> give me a lead man
Oct 19 06:24:04 <set_> This is to read a temp. sensor and record the info.
Oct 19 06:24:48 <set_> I got the software, well part of this software, from various sources: Monk, Richardson, and Adafruit.
Oct 19 06:25:01 <set_> Oh and some page that I forgot to mention.
Oct 19 06:25:09 <bg> and what's the problem with your current code?
Oct 19 06:25:26 <set_> Nothing. It records! I just wanted to get your feedback.
Oct 19 06:25:49 <bg> ah ok... haha waits
Oct 19 06:25:56 <set_> Cool beans. Waiting!
Oct 19 06:27:51 <bg> what's with this if('w'):   ? it will result to always true
Oct 19 06:28:14 <set_> Oh, I thought it would be nice. I am not perfect.
Oct 19 06:28:20 <set_> What should it be?
Oct 19 06:28:29 <bg> just commenting here, :D
Oct 19 06:28:32 <set_> Oh.
Oct 19 06:29:09 <set_> I tried out a bunch of scenarios. Nothing would read my file and then spitoon, the damn if('w'): came to mind because...
Oct 19 06:29:18 <set_> Because of other software I have written.
Oct 19 06:29:25 <bg> what version of python are you using?
Oct 19 06:29:31 <set_> 2.7.x
Oct 19 06:29:48 <set_> I can change it.
Oct 19 06:30:00 <set_> i.e. the software.
Oct 19 06:31:24 <set_> Hell, it could be an error. I can check real quickly.
Oct 19 06:31:47 <bg> it would be nice if you can check if the file exists then append otherwise create
Oct 19 06:32:20 <set_> I do not know how to do that yet.
Oct 19 06:33:24 <set_> See here...I get my reading(s) in the file set so far. That file, loveAndTemp.py, writes and it shows what has been written.
Oct 19 06:33:41 <set_> sorry. loveAndTemp.txt.
Oct 19 06:33:50 <set_> ...
Oct 19 06:34:13 <set_> I tested it out w/out the 'w' and, you guessed it, it works just fine.
Oct 19 06:34:43 <set_> ISSUE #1: I get only a couple of readings instead of each read, every time.
Oct 19 06:34:47 <bg> ohkey, sorry i can't comment your code right now, need to go to work. but you can take a look at this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20432912/writing-to-a-new-file-if-it-doesnt-exist-and-appending-to-a-file-if-it-does
Oct 19 06:35:02 <set_> bg: Thank you!
Oct 19 06:35:30 <bg> you need to remove the f.write
Oct 19 06:35:32 <bg> one
Oct 19 06:35:43 <bg> because you're having two of them
Oct 19 06:35:56 <set_> Oh? I read something from 2014, i.e you are probably right.
Oct 19 06:35:57 <set_> Oh.
Oct 19 06:36:16 <set_> I have three readings per line.
Oct 19 06:36:49 <set_> The millivolts, the celsius, and the fahrenheit are all read on one line at a time.
Oct 19 06:37:09 <set_> ...
Oct 19 06:37:17 <set_> Thank you, anyway. Sorry to harass you at work.
Oct 19 06:37:19 <bg> just add a new line \n in your f.write
Oct 19 06:37:53 <set_> Otay...will do. Oh, so that will bring the lines from one line to three lines. Cool!
Oct 19 06:38:17 <bg> f.write('mv=%d C=%d F=%d \n' % (millivolts, temp_c, temp_f))
Oct 19 06:38:28 <set_> Oh.
Oct 19 06:38:35 <set_> Okay. i will do it and see what happens.
Oct 19 06:38:44 <bg> okey, i'm out.
Oct 19 06:38:48 <set_> ...many lined Temp. reading on the way.
Oct 19 06:38:50 <set_> Later!
Oct 19 07:23:17 <nmingott> hi guys, i have a couple of questions
Oct 19 07:25:03 <nmingott> 1) when i "halt" the BBB the state of pins remains fixed. I was expecting they shut all down when the BBB goes down. Is there a way to achieve that ? I mean, a way, to reset all pin states on shutdown ?
Oct 19 07:27:58 <nmingott> 2) For a project (the first project!) unfortunately i need to cover USR leds, in such a way I can not understand well when the BBB is running. So I would like to show heartbeat on an external LED. But, where does the USR0 ( i that is the heartbeat led) takes its data from ?
Oct 19 07:44:41 <Humpelstilzchen> nmingott: /sys/class/led
Oct 19 07:45:15 <Humpelstilzchen> there is a trigger file
Oct 19 07:45:27 <Humpelstilzchen> inside each led folder
Oct 19 07:49:21 <nmingott> Humpelstilzchen: I also was looking for that
Oct 19 07:49:42 <nmingott> let me i second, to check again

Oct 19 07:53:22 <nmingott> sorry for the long list
Oct 19 07:53:27 <Humpelstilzchen> also this looks like gpio subsystem not led
Oct 19 07:54:01 <nmingott> sorry, i am not used to IRC, i will get info about "pastebin"
Oct 19 07:54:10 <Humpelstilzchen> If you want to configure a led on a gpio as led you need to add it to the devicetree
Oct 19 07:54:48 <nmingott> umm
Oct 19 07:57:40 <nmingott> interesting ... now i have a reason to study the .dto thing ;)
Oct 19 08:27:58 <nmingott> I solved point (1), all pins go down if I run "shutdown -t now". I was using "halt", before, in that case they do not go down.
Oct 19 10:30:27 <bg08> hi, i can't find the bone_capemgr slots

Oct 19 10:51:38 <swade> Helping grandson with BB blue and EduMic robot
Oct 19 10:51:57 <swade> getting this error
Oct 19 10:52:00 <swade> Your code is running at http://localhost. Important: use os.getenv(PORT, 8080) as the port and os.getenv(IP, 0.0.0.0) as the host in your scripts!
Oct 19 10:52:57 <swade> How do i resolve the host/port issue please
Oct 19 10:53:15 <swade> all help and abuse appreciate
Oct 19 12:06:49 <swade> rc_test_motors -s 1 sweeps the motors back and forth as it should but balance.py still gives host error
Oct 19 16:14:37 <rar_rar> Hi all - just learning about the BBBlue.  In comparing the board visual layout ( https://www.element14.com/community/dtss-images/uploads/devtool/diagram/large/BeagleBone_Blue.png ) to the pinout ( https://github.com/beagleboard/beaglebone-blue/blob/master/BeagleBone_Blue_brd.pdf ) . Are the "4 quadrature encoder inputs" on the image the same as eQEP encoder Plugs in the pinout?
Oct 19 17:00:01 <zmatt> sounds plausible, lemme see
Oct 19 17:02:46 <zmatt> you probably meant to link something different
Oct 19 17:03:16 <zmatt> that's not the pinout but the board files :)
Oct 19 17:05:26 <zmatt> yeah, E1-E4 ... based on schematic those are apparently the three eQEP instances and two PRU pins (to make another quadrature input using PRU firmware)
Oct 19 17:11:11 <rar_rar> Thanks zmatt!

Oct 19 21:34:38 <set_> Are there any people in here w/ resources on AT commands for XBee and the BBB?
Oct 19 21:34:52 <set_> <<<< still researching
Oct 19 22:20:30 <set_> I just found a new cape. The NimbeLink Cape. That sucker is bad.
Oct 20 01:08:42 <set_> For that idea on XBee and AT Commands, I found a book. "Forget about it!"
