Aug 09 03:16:59 <set_> https://pastebin.com/NHAYkyBY ---> What does the "^" in this Python source represent?
Aug 09 03:17:00 <set_> ...
Aug 09 03:17:54 <set_> I was using this software, @zmatt, from you and I have not been able to find out what this "^" notation involves.
Aug 09 03:20:35 <set_> Bitwise Operator?
Aug 09 03:25:55 <set_> Hold on. Let me get the entire script for the BBBW "bot" idea.
Aug 09 03:30:33 <set_> Forget it. I figured out that there was some confusion at the time of typing this source b/c of my Cape config. w/ the wires (or something).
Aug 09 03:32:54 <set_> That bitwise operator is used on a different set of instructions for the MotorCape and not what I was using. Sorry to take up so much space again.
Aug 09 03:32:56 <set_> Aw!
Aug 09 11:12:51 <zmatt> set_: what code? which language?
Aug 09 11:13:15 <zmatt> ^ either means bitwise xor or exponentiation, depending on what we're talking about
Aug 09 12:36:25 <blackwarriorxtn> i have a beaglebone black board that have debian installed
Aug 09 12:36:25 <blackwarriorxtn> needed or anything ?
Aug 09 13:07:31 <zmatt> ... what
Aug 09 13:54:43 <GenTooMan> I have no idea either
Aug 09 19:39:58 <set_> @zmatt: Hello...the software was from the MotorCape for reverse and it was Python source.
Aug 09 19:45:27 <zmatt> then it's bitwise xor yes
Aug 09 19:46:22 <zmatt> or logical xor
Aug 09 19:46:35 <zmatt> ah if you mean my Motor class it's logical xor
Aug 09 19:50:17 <zmatt> GPIO.output(self.dir_pin, value < 0 ^ self.reverse)      normally (when self.reverse is False) sets the direction gpio based on the sign of the value (high if value < 0, low if value >= 0) but if self.reverse is True then it inverts the value
Aug 09 19:52:07 <zmatt> set_: this shows the behaviour of ^ (for booleans, in python): https://pastebin.com/gpSTRxxx
Aug 09 20:07:14 <set_> Okay.
Aug 09 20:15:22 <set_> @zmatt: Thank you for explaining. Until now, I just knew that it worked.
Aug 09 20:33:35 <Guest20001> Alguien habla español?
Aug 09 20:35:10 <zmatt> this is an english-language channel
Aug 09 23:07:05 <hays> i wonder if there is going to be an update to the BBB to use a newer SBC
Aug 09 23:07:21 <zmatt> a newer SoC you mean
Aug 09 23:09:49 <zmatt> the beaglebone black itself will never be significantly changed (and most definitely not use a SoC other than the AM3358) since that would break compatibility.  however, there is a new beaglebone variant in development which uses the AM5729 SoC => http://bbb.io/ai
Aug 09 23:10:33 <hays> yeah the ai im excited for
Aug 09 23:11:22 <zmatt> I think however that for most applications of a beaglebone, the AM335x is perfectly adequate
Aug 09 23:12:16 <zmatt> (and if you just want some small SBC that runs linux, there are tons of options on the market)
Aug 09 23:53:32 <hays> always depends on the use case, but i think it could use a little bump in RAM for example
Aug 09 23:53:55 <hays> but it does have a lot of cool stuff that not a lot of other sbcs have
Aug 09 23:55:26 <hays> has anyone spun out a pocketbeagle into a low cost PLC/IO board?
Aug 09 23:55:27 <zmatt> there is at least one beaglebone variant with 1GB of ram (which is the max according to TI, although I'm 99% sure the AM335x actually supports 2GB, although you need fairly uncommon (hence expensive) memory chips for that)
Aug 09 23:57:33 <zmatt> three variants technically => https://www.sancloud.co.uk/?page_id=1028  (they also have gigabit ethernet)
Aug 09 23:59:29 <hays> oh wow also i just found this http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/tidu730a/tidu730a.pdf
Aug 10 00:04:12 <zmatt> so eh... it's basically a board consisting of a power supply and some glue cpld (that mostly seems to be used as level shifter / buffer?)  ... I'll take your word for it that it's exciting ;)
Aug 10 00:19:42 <hays> well its just a breath of fresh air to see this much info from TI, in comparison to say broadcom
Aug 10 00:20:27 <hays> doesn't the 5729 have 5 ethernet interfaces in it? or am i thinking of th 6x
Aug 10 00:21:33 <hays> ah i think its another one in the 5series
Aug 10 00:22:45 <hays> 10/100/1000, 2-Port 1Gb Switch, 4-Port 10/100 PRU EMAC
Aug 10 00:24:02 <zmatt> PRU ethernet ports aren't normal ethernet ports though
Aug 10 00:24:24 <zmatt> they're generally used for industrial ethernet variants like EtherCAT
Aug 10 00:29:44 <zmatt> I think the only TI SoCs with more than 2 "real" external ethernet ports are some big Keystone devices
