**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Nov 21 02:59:58 2018 Nov 21 04:26:06 Hai, Please tell me is the any libraries there like pi4j(Raspberry pi) for Beaglebone Black? Nov 21 07:07:47 @zmatt Hi, I figure it out the purpose of file that you gave me ( https://pastebin.com/raw/gZisvd8z ), Now please tell me how to configure the character Lcd display using gpio pin... Nov 21 07:09:19 newbee: "how to configure"? Nov 21 07:09:33 newbee: you mean like, "please hand me a full featured and finieshed driver"? Nov 21 07:11:24 @LetoThe2nd no no, I am not mean like that... I asked the steps only? Nov 21 07:11:52 newbee: i mean, whats the *specific* prolem you have? you said you figured out how to control the gpios. good. you also know the controller, and therefore its protocol. also good. now, just implement it? or even better, go hunting for one of the already existing implementations and just feed them with your gpio interaction Nov 21 07:12:32 newbee: steps: "use the gpios in such a way that they fulfill the protocol specification as indicated by the lcd controllers datasheet" Nov 21 07:13:39 (that might sounds rough now, but "tell me how to configure the lcd" is just another no-brainer question. plus, really, forget pi4j) Nov 21 07:19:37 @LetoThe2nd Okay, I will try that.. Nov 21 07:22:35 newbee: if you are stuck with a *specific* task, feel free to ask. like "how do i add a delay between two gpio actions?" or "can i change the direction of a gpio during execution?". thats all fine, and we're happy to help but we're no "hello there, please show me how to do a full couple of days work step by step." Nov 21 07:27:26 @LetoThe2nd Okay thanks.. **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Nov 21 13:20:27 2018 Nov 21 14:49:24 isn't google blocked in china Nov 21 18:50:49 Hi there Nov 21 18:51:31 I am currently having problems installing beaglebone green wireless drivers from the landing page and stored on the device Nov 21 18:58:03 Guest63082: you mean for windows? you shouldn't need to install any Nov 21 18:58:21 if the beaglebone (any variant) is running a recent enough image, it should work plug&play Nov 21 18:59:03 if it's running firmware of unknown age, I suggest reflashing it Nov 21 18:59:04 Ah ok.... However it couldn't install..... Nov 21 18:59:11 see https://beagleboard.org/getting-started Nov 21 18:59:39 So, trying to use this with LabVIEW, is it true that only LabVIEW 2014 works on windows 7? Nov 21 18:59:57 With the beaglebone? Nov 21 19:00:34 This has no SD card image either in the BB Nov 21 19:00:49 I have no idea, you probably need to ask the people of labview Nov 21 19:01:00 Ok! Nov 21 19:01:37 no you don't need an sd card to boot the beaglebone, although you do need it (temporarily) to reflash it... (well, there are ways to reflash without an sd card, but the easy way is with sd card) Nov 21 19:02:00 The other thing was the default IP address had been changed to an IP address assigned by my DHCP server Nov 21 19:02:11 I found it on my network Nov 21 19:02:38 But when I went to it I got no landing page.... And the default IP address doesn't take me there either Nov 21 19:03:31 It has worked previously..... But no now joy! Nov 21 19:03:39 ehh... if you connect a beaglebone via usb (or, if applicable, use its wifi in AP mode) then it has a fixed address. if you connect it to an ethernet or wifi network (whichever applies), it will use DHCP. this has never changed Nov 21 19:04:05 how exactly are you connected to it? Nov 21 19:06:34 since you say it's a wireless beaglebone, I'm assuming you mean you connected it to your wifi network? Nov 21 19:07:19 in that case it should use dhcp unless you configure it to use a manual ip instead Nov 21 19:07:33 Yeah, so first plug in it connected and joined my wifi Nov 21 19:07:46 And my router assigned it an IP address Nov 21 19:07:56 also when you say "It has worked previously" .. what did you do that changed it? Nov 21 19:08:59 Nothing! Although if it's connected via USB to a PC and WiFi does it still allow to be discovered on a network ? Nov 21 19:09:09 also, if you were already able to reach it via usb (I assume that's what you mean with "plug in it connected"), then why were you still trying to install drivers for something that already worked Nov 21 19:10:58 if it's connected via usb to a pc and to a wifi network, then the PC should be able to reach it on fixed ip (via usb), and any device connected to the wifi network (including aforementioned PC, if it's on the same network) should be able to reach the beaglebone on the ip assigned by your router... although it's probably easier to use the beaglebone's hostname instead Nov 21 19:11:00 Well usb drivers wouldn't install. I am only following the landing page instructions.. Nov 21 19:11:26 with landing page you mean the webserver on the beaglebone? Nov 21 19:11:36 Yeh. Nov 21 19:11:54 but if you are able to reach that, then it already works and you have no need to install drivers Nov 21 19:12:17 Ok..... But that was via WiFi right Nov 21 19:12:24 Not via a connected pc Nov 21 19:12:37 okay you mean the beaglebone's wifi access point? Nov 21 19:12:45 sorry, you were being a bit unclear Nov 21 19:13:31 Either way, it did join my network and has an assigned IP. I can see it in the network. If I go to that address I should get the BB homepage right? But it fails to connect to anything... Nov 21 19:14:05 weird Nov 21 19:14:37 you can still reach it on its AP right? can you check how old the firmware is by connecting via ssh and typing the command: cat /etc/dogtag Nov 21 19:20:25 brb Nov 21 19:23:52 ok bye? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Nov 22 02:59:58 2018
