Mar 08 12:49:06 <kekto> hi, i just got my beaglebone ai and wanted to run the encoder example part of cloud9 ide. however it turns out the file `/sys/devices/platform/44000000.ocp/4843e000.epwmss/4843e180.eqep/` that it expects isn't there. do i need to add some 'device tree overlay' to being using the eqep hardware? i'm using the recommended bbai base image here :

Mar 08 12:49:26 <kekto> begin using*
Mar 08 12:50:07 <kekto> also is there a beaglebone discord?
Mar 08 13:03:04 <kekto> would appreciate any help in getting the eqep working with a quadrature encoder on bb ai. the best resources i could find were https://github.com/Teknoman117/beaglebot/tree/master/encoders which is for bbb
Mar 08 15:00:45 <jkridner> kekto: no discord, but you can get on Slack via the GSoC invite. This tends to have a better variety of experts.
Mar 08 15:13:08 <markand> hi there
Mar 08 15:13:50 <markand> I've tried to open UART2 using config-pin p9.22 uart and config-pin p9.21 uart but one of our application still fails to open /dev/ttyO2 (the java library says that the port is not "open")
Mar 08 15:27:28 <zmatt> markand: the ability to open /dev/ttyS2 (or its backwards-compat symlink /dev/ttyO2) has nothing to do with config-pin
Mar 08 15:27:39 <zmatt> markand: it should be openable regardless
Mar 08 15:32:49 <markand> yes that's right
Mar 09 00:19:41 <Maldark909> does anyone here have detailed documentation on which i2c ports go to which address? (im not proficient with i2c so if i am misunderstanding how i2c works please let me know)
Mar 09 01:09:56 <set_> i2c, heh? Big biz!
Mar 09 01:11:25 <set_> I am messing w/ a new lib. from wgaonar. It is faulting some oddities to the board.
Mar 09 01:12:16 <set_> For instance, I ran some source, Open Source source, and the board died and then was back up but w/out WiFi.
Mar 09 01:12:25 <set_> Ha.
Mar 09 01:12:50 <set_> Oh well. I think I will help this fellow a bit (if I can). Who knows?
Mar 09 01:13:41 <set_> The WiFi LED started to blink. This was a new one to me.
Mar 09 01:13:56 <set_> usually, it just stays lit on the BBGW.
Mar 09 01:14:30 <set_> I am assuming now that the PWM/GPIO pin that is dedicated to that LED must be one that wgaonar was referencing.
