May 17 21:18:25 <charlie5> =-O
May 17 21:45:44 <Zach> Is there CAD for Beagle Bone Black rev C?
May 17 21:46:17 <jkridner> https://github.com/beagleboard/beaglebone-black
May 18 01:13:50 <MattB0ne> how can you log in as the same id more than once
May 18 01:14:02 <MattB0ne> or how do you block so you resume a session
May 18 01:14:27 <MattB0ne> so if my computer crashes
May 18 01:14:37 <MattB0ne> and I have to reset and logon to a BBB that never lost power
May 18 01:14:50 <MattB0ne> I dont rerun stuff and mess things up
May 18 02:11:51 <set_> GenTooMan: How is oscilloscope land?
May 18 02:13:48 <set_> I would have gotten to the ole motor build again w/ the BBB but...
May 18 02:13:51 <GenTooMan> kind of like lala land sort of a dream with a rude awakening :D
May 18 02:13:52 <set_> Floods happen.
May 18 02:13:57 <set_> Ha.
May 18 02:14:33 <set_> Like that one movie if you ever work for Fed Ex. Ha. I think Leonardo DiCapprio was in it.
May 18 02:14:34 <GenTooMan> yeah well having constant rain in MO indicates Louisiana is likely glutted with water.
May 18 02:14:42 <set_> Yep.
May 18 02:15:09 <set_> Everyone in my 'tight, close knit' circle is hoping for a break in the weather.
May 18 02:15:28 <GenTooMan> FedEx apparently is better than working for Amazon.
May 18 02:15:51 <set_> Ha. Maybe. They just threw together an Amazon facility not to far from me.
May 18 02:15:52 <set_> Boo!
May 18 02:16:15 <GenTooMan> Amazon is being sued several times over
May 18 02:16:32 <set_> i am still under the impression that my motor by itself is lonely. Oh?
May 18 02:16:36 <set_> What for this time?
May 18 02:16:54 <GenTooMan> by employees
May 18 02:16:56 <set_> Anything and everything...ha.
May 18 02:17:10 <set_> employees. "They work me like they do not have robots!"
May 18 02:17:33 <set_> "I actually picked up two boxes during March!"
May 18 02:17:59 <set_> ...
May 18 02:18:05 <GenTooMan> well I think the accusation might be a bit more severe than the usual. It may become a criminal case. Slavery is one word that was brought up.
May 18 02:18:17 <set_> Anyway, GenTooMan, yikes.
May 18 02:18:31 <set_> I bet people that were enslaved are not going to like that idea.
May 18 02:18:36 <set_> Dang.
May 18 02:18:40 <set_> Hey...
May 18 02:18:59 <set_> Have you finished your board for the BBB and six motors?
May 18 02:19:13 <GenTooMan> I have known people who were enslaved. Let's just say none of those were from the US.
May 18 02:19:21 <set_> Oh.
May 18 02:19:24 <set_> Yea.
May 18 02:19:50 <set_> That enslavement thing is a risky thing. I feel bad but I remember writing about it from reading books.
May 18 02:20:02 <set_> So, lighter fare here?
May 18 02:20:12 <GenTooMan> so motors nope I stopped that project as I saw no demand for it. Don't do something unless someone needs it I always say.
May 18 02:20:19 <set_> No!
May 18 02:20:27 <GenTooMan> yes?
May 18 02:20:46 <set_> Dang it. I cannot believe people, unlike myself, can utilize other things and leave motors out.
May 18 02:21:16 <set_> Oh well. There goes the fascination of motor achievements in the BBB realm. The MotorCape must live on.
May 18 02:21:42 <set_> Hey...speaking of motorCape, is it possible to stack two of them on the same BBB?
May 18 02:22:20 <set_> For instance...I am using a pwm from the BBB to handle (and GPIOs) some of the L298.
May 18 02:22:44 <set_> The L298 is on the MotorCape (two of them to be exact).
May 18 02:23:31 <set_> If it is possible, wink twice. If it is beyond my reasoning, wink twice!
May 18 02:24:36 * set_ needs to have 'achievements' in motors still!
May 18 02:25:24 <GenTooMan> unless the motor cape IO is configurable probably not. The MC has a processor on it correct?
May 18 02:25:42 <set_> No. It has two L298s.
May 18 02:25:48 <set_> Per Cape.
May 18 02:26:30 <set_> So, w/ all the peripherals on the BBB, the GPIO is on the board to support the two Capes but not PWM.
May 18 02:26:40 <set_> I think.
May 18 02:28:09 <GenTooMan> does the board have jumpers for configuring IO inputs?
May 18 02:29:15 <set_> Let me see.
May 18 02:29:57 <set_> The only other thing on the board that I see is the EEPROM WP (EEPROM 'wp').
May 18 02:30:04 <set_> Whatever 'wp' means, I am not sure.
May 18 02:30:30 <set_> It is two empty through hole holes.
May 18 02:30:46 <set_> I guess it is for EEPROM for boards?
May 18 02:31:41 <set_> There is some more through holes but they are not marked.
May 18 02:31:48 <set_> Well, not on the silkscreen.
May 18 02:32:26 <set_> There are three per holes per set of four Diodes.
May 18 02:32:45 <set_> Aw. Three holes per set of hour diodes.
May 18 02:34:19 <set_> For instance...
May 18 02:35:57 <set_> I have the datasheet open! There are a few holes here and there.
May 18 02:37:03 <set_> But they are not listed on the Datasheet. Anyway...
May 18 02:38:35 <set_> The caps on the schematic are listed...
May 18 02:38:46 <set_> The Diodes on the other hand, not so much listed.
May 18 02:39:05 <set_> I said datasheet earlier. I meant schematic.
May 18 02:39:08 <set_> Sorry.
May 18 02:41:35 <set_> Anyway...
May 18 02:42:39 <set_> So, the PWM onboard the BBB(W) or like board can handle the LEDs and state of the driven motors from the L298s.
May 18 02:43:34 <set_> Oh. no jumpers for configuring I/O inputs.
May 18 02:45:32 <set_> On the schematic it shows a jumper, a single jumper, for EEPROM.
May 18 02:46:43 <set_> On the schematic, it also shows that there are eight different i2c/EEPROM configurations that can be used.
May 18 02:47:24 <set_> It shows the one that was picked in green, i.e. I am assuming.
May 18 02:48:21 <set_> 0x55 is what is listed in green on the schematic under where the jumper is located.
May 18 02:50:17 <set_> yes.
May 18 02:52:33 <set_> I see the diodes now. They are on the second page.
May 18 02:58:20 <set_> So...is there a particular EEPROM chip I need to write to the I/O on the MC?
