**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Apr 19 02:59:57 2020 Apr 19 03:03:17 good night Apr 19 03:04:43 Oh. Apr 19 03:04:46 UART2 Apr 19 03:05:27 I usually use UART2 or UART1. Apr 19 03:05:42 Let me go and find which pins. Apr 19 03:06:24 21, 22, 24, 26 on P9. Apr 19 03:07:24 So...P9.21/22 are UART2 && P9.24/26 are UART1. Apr 19 03:10:00 I have the pins already just wondered which was Otay. Night KenUnix Apr 19 03:10:07 Oh. Apr 19 03:10:19 UART1 it is. Apr 19 03:10:25 Yea. I say P9...right. Okay. Apr 19 03:11:29 Now GenTooMan, just to say it, those items will probably take a lifetime to get here b/c of COVID-19. Apr 19 03:11:53 USPS at its best w/out a bailout is not producing much mail these days. Apr 19 03:13:07 USPS is required by law to deliver the others aren't Apr 19 03:13:35 I get mail all the time by the way. relatives bills of course :D Apr 19 03:13:56 Ha. Apr 19 03:14:39 "Dear GenTooMan, please pay this bill!" Apr 19 03:15:47 Okay. P9.24/26 is UART1. Okay. Now what? Apr 19 03:15:55 Funny, heh? Apr 19 03:16:17 You pay the bills and I will learn? Apr 19 03:19:42 so the AX12 toys do they have cables for them? Apr 19 03:21:05 Yes! Apr 19 03:21:22 Still toys but yes, they have cables. Apr 19 03:21:33 Three pin config. cables. Apr 19 03:22:23 So, just like a regular Servo but w/ some other type of MOLEX connector. Apr 19 03:23:14 Well, plus the additional add on of another cable connector connection. So, there are two connections, three pin * 2, on these servos. Apr 19 03:35:52 WTH? they have no diagrams for that... that's very sloppy. Apr 19 03:37:38 I know. It is for attaching multiple servos to one another, I think. Apr 19 03:38:07 I was astounded, too. But...it makes connecting a bit simplified. Let me see if I can find it. Apr 19 03:40:05 https://www.trossenrobotics.com/productdocs/AX-12A.pdf Apr 19 03:41:16 hmm how do you know which one to hook to as the input? or does that matter? Apr 19 03:41:41 Good question. It might not matter. Let me look into that idea further. Apr 19 03:44:51 LOL well I've asked questions you need to know so I guess I helped. :D Apr 19 03:46:01 http://en.robotis.com/model/page.php?co_id=actuator <<< 3. Network Driven Apr 19 03:46:24 Yes. From left to right, i.e. when held in a particular manner. Apr 19 03:46:45 I can test that out later. Apr 19 03:49:01 ... Apr 19 03:49:41 These servo(s) will work or I am green toothed. Apr 19 04:02:33 something :D Apr 19 04:03:00 Ha. Okay. Apr 19 04:03:18 Anyway, green toothed or not, the servos will work. Better? Apr 19 04:03:51 I think my getting these three chips for testing will better acquaint myself to the world of complication. Apr 19 04:04:15 and all in the name of the BBB and Servos! Apr 19 10:51:08 hi, i have a custom device tree overlay for beagle bone black that was working with archlinux arm through kernel v5.5.x, but broke on v5.6.x. reverting to kernel 5.5.11 and it works again. i load the overlay from u-boot, and do an fdt apply , and get this message: fdt_overlay_apply(): FDT_ERR_NOTFOUND. my custom overlay dts is here: https://personaltelco.net/~russell/BB-W1-TEMPDATA-00A0.dts ... Apr 19 10:51:14 clues welcome. Apr 19 14:08:31 russell--: I mean, that doesn't sound like a weird thing to happen when using experimental/testing kernels. what exact 5.6 kernel did you try? Apr 19 14:09:09 (and yes they may be stable as a mainline kernel, but that doesn't mean that the beaglebone patches have been forward-ported or that they've been tested _at all_) Apr 19 14:10:09 presumably it means one of the referenced nodes does not exist Apr 19 14:10:31 (or at least no longer exists with that specific label) Apr 19 14:14:37 russell--: yeah looks like the DT patches haven't been forward-ported to 5.6 yet Apr 19 14:17:16 so if you really want to use a bleeding-edge kernel you may have to do that yourself. it may also be useful to talk to rcn, e.g. to ask if there's anything in particular that needs testing (since I doubt these kernels get tested much if at all by him) Apr 20 01:41:44 Yo boy, what's up? Apr 20 01:44:03 Got some application on my BBB keeps ip-ing to 212.227.81.55 best I could tell it's in France!!! So, I firewaled it Apr 20 01:45:29 nbz.fr.oneandone.net Apr 20 01:55:31 Actually Stugart Germany **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Apr 20 02:59:57 2020
