**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Nov 26 02:59:57 2019 Nov 26 03:04:46 People keep telling me to config. my ESC by calibrating. I guess I will try this idea. Nov 26 03:16:52 Sorry for the verbal oddness. Nov 26 11:05:31 Has anyone else had issues with getting UART3 TX to work on the BBW? Nov 26 11:06:45 * Has anyone else had issues with getting UART3 TX to work on the BBW? I've tried enabling it by both config-pin and the UART3 overlay in boot/uEnv.txt Nov 26 11:07:09 BBW the beaglebone white? Nov 26 11:08:29 * Has anyone else had issues with getting UART3 TX to work on the BBW? I've tried enabling it by both config-pin and the UART3 overlay in boot/uEnv.txt. Tested it by connecting it to UART2 RX (which receives fine when connected to UART2 TX) but nothing is received. Nov 26 11:08:37 cricky[m]: BBW the beaglebone white? Nov 26 11:08:52 Ah sorry no, the BeagleBone Wireless Nov 26 11:09:09 or is that meant to be BBBW? Nov 26 11:09:12 beaglebone black wireless or beaglebone green wireless? Nov 26 11:09:39 black wireless - wow this family of boards is confusing Nov 26 11:09:45 (abbreviated BBBW / BBGW) Nov 26 11:10:08 ok, black and black wireless should be fully compatible w.r.t. the expansion headers Nov 26 11:10:09 thanks, I'll edit my original question Nov 26 11:10:23 * Has anyone else had issues with getting UART3 TX to work on the BBBW?

Nov 26 11:10:39 yeah you don't need to keep pasting your question here Nov 26 11:10:59 in fact, please stop doing so :P reading it once more than suffices Nov 26 11:11:09 try double-checking the pinmux with my show-pins utility: https://github.com/mvduin/bbb-pin-utils/#show-pins Nov 26 11:11:34 note that P9.42 is listed twice in it, one should be uart 3 tx, the other unused (gpio) Nov 26 11:11:42 Oh right on the riot.im it doesn't repost after an edit so I didn't realise - sorry Nov 26 11:11:51 edit? Nov 26 11:11:57 oh you're using the slack bridge Nov 26 11:12:00 or something Nov 26 11:12:34 in that case please don't edit anything, have faith in people's ability to said what was said afterwards Nov 26 11:12:40 *to read Nov 26 11:12:59 Thanks for the link - and noted, cheers Nov 26 11:13:12 I don't see an obvious reason why there'd be anything special about uart 3 tx Nov 26 11:13:39 hmm lemme check one thing Nov 26 11:14:10 I do! uart 3 is used for bluetooth! Nov 26 11:15:08 if you're not using bluetooth it should be possible to disable it and reuse uart 3 for your own use Nov 26 11:16:49 Ah damn I though it may be something like that - I'm afraid the BT is required. Did you check that using the show-pins tool? Nov 26 11:17:18 no I checked the DT Nov 26 11:18:06 Ok thanks for your help Nov 26 11:18:26 you could see it with show-pins if you run it with -vv but the pin labels will be wrong for some non-expansion-header pins (specifically those to do with ethernet on the BBB and wifi/bt on the BBBW) and I don't have a variant with correct labels for the BBBW Nov 26 11:18:46 but it would show that uart 3 is muxed to some pins, and which device is doing so Nov 26 11:24:26 https://pastebin.com/raw/VnwSNf8c Nov 26 11:25:57 Yeah it always appears as gpio Nov 26 11:25:58 see, it's showing uart 3 txd/rxd/cts/rts signals are mapped to processor pins which are used for ethernet on the BBB (but reused for bluetooth on the BBBW) Nov 27 00:16:39 n **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Nov 27 02:59:57 2019
