May 10 03:46:00 <set_> @zmatt: What exactly should SystemExit do in a try/except function?
May 10 03:46:09 <set_> I could not figure it out.
May 10 03:46:21 <set_> It just hung there and did nothing but waste my time.
May 10 04:31:13 <zmatt> set_: nothing, you shouldn't be catching a SystemExit exception at all
May 10 04:32:36 <zmatt> also, the try should be outside your main loop, not inside it
May 10 04:35:23 <zmatt> the make() function you showed would make it impossible to exit normally, ctrl-C would print "Done and now exiting" but it would in fact just continue to run
May 10 06:40:11 <Guest19> hi
May 10 06:41:59 <Guest19> i am using Beaglebone AI board
May 10 06:42:18 <Guest19> i need help in interfacing LCD
May 10 07:19:06 <Guest038> Hello
May 10 07:19:37 <Guest038> Hi
May 10 10:13:00 <Guest14> Hi Team, Where should i find drivers for beagle bone black revision c for windows OS?
May 10 10:45:11 <Guest36> where should I get drivers for my beagle bone black revision C for communicating with windows host?
May 10 10:53:54 <zmatt> Guest36: no drivers are needed
May 10 10:57:01 <zmatt> though I think if the BBB is running old firmware then it might not be recognized by Windows, but that would be fixed by reflashing the beaglebone
May 10 10:58:03 <zmatt> (microsoft has a tendency to periodically break things and require changes on the beaglebone side to get windows to understand again that it needs to use microsoft's own driver for microsoft's own RNDIS protocol)
May 10 15:06:59 <Doomyguy> Hello there!
May 10 15:09:06 <Doomyguy> Can someone please explain me how to configure device tree in Beaglebone Black? I'm using XFCE desktop that I installed in the eMMC
May 10 15:10:03 <Doomyguy> I want to use an XPT2046 resistive touchscreen via SPI, so I assume I've to configure the pins to do so
May 10 15:27:37 <Doomyguy> I know my question may sound stupid, but I'm really a newbie in regards to BBB and Linux
May 10 15:56:03 <Doomyguy95> I still here
May 10 15:56:20 <Doomyguy95> My username changed when I reconnected thou
May 10 16:07:54 <Doomyguy95> o.O
May 10 16:34:36 <Doomyguy95> ?
May 11 00:06:55 <set_> @zmatt: I am going to test that untried example you showed me w/ gpsdclient. I think I already have it installed.
May 11 00:07:02 <set_> Be back w/ juicy details!
May 11 00:16:55 <set_> https://pastebin.com/rFszfGnk is my error. Is this a permission issue?
May 11 00:18:39 <set_> Or...
May 11 00:18:47 <set_> It could be the gpsd from apt backend?
May 11 00:21:31 <set_> Just running ./gpsdclient gives a [Errno 111] Connection refused.
May 11 00:28:04 <set_> @zmatt: It is this one right? https://github.com/tfeldmann/gpsdclient ?
May 11 00:38:21 <set_> I exited the terminal.
May 11 00:38:24 <set_> It runs!
May 11 00:38:33 <set_> No output, though.
May 11 00:38:49 <set_> Something must be up. on to looking into it.
May 11 01:04:40 <set_> @zmatt: YOu did it!
May 11 01:04:46 <set_> Way to go, sir. It is working!
May 11 01:05:05 <set_> I got all sorts of times, lat, and lon scores in my file. Hmm.
May 11 01:05:31 <set_> Now, onto those other odd GPS scripts. I wonder what is happening in those files that creates issues? Oh well.
May 11 01:05:40 <set_> Thank  yoU!
May 11 01:08:09 <set_> I have seven files, all of which are python3 scripts handling GPS, that refuse to work. This is neat.
May 11 01:08:45 <set_> Now, onto file descriptions and how to set up the .kml file correctly. Ya boy!
May 11 01:40:03 <set_> @zmatt: Have you ever used a tracker/GPS to show off whereabouts during travel via KML and Google Earth?
May 11 01:40:46 <set_> I was thinking that instead of \n, I could use \t and commas to promote my travels w/ this GPS.
May 11 01:41:12 <set_> The ideas of automating is better than adding in the GPS tracked references manually.
May 11 01:41:46 <set_> So, off to find out about how to automate .txt to .kml to Google Earth. If people are interested, I found this!
May 11 01:42:04 <set_> Here: https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kml_tut
May 11 01:42:42 <set_> Keyhole Markup Language. ha. Anyway, this is what Google Earth takes as a way to evaluate movement in GPS tracking.
May 11 02:27:22 <set_> Some biking is in order!
May 11 02:27:26 <set_> Got it!
May 11 02:27:33 <set_> Ha. I feel so good when things work.
May 11 02:32:51 <set_> Google Earth is fickle. You have to set up things so it is this before that and so on.
May 11 02:33:12 <set_> It will not accept altitude before longitude/latitude.
May 11 02:42:38 <set_> Look at this oldschool code: https://github.com/silver2row/js-v2-samples/blob/gh-pages/articles-csvtokml/csvtokml.py
May 11 02:42:40 <set_> Nice.
