Jul 31 08:37:58 <set_> LEDs do not just pop. Something has determined its fate.
Jul 31 08:38:22 <set_> I think the plastic was old, too old...
Jul 31 08:57:10 <set_> Excuse me fine sir, is it safe to say once the BBAI-64 explodes my LED, I can call the LED shot?
Jul 31 09:12:59 <set_> I ask b/c I think the enablement of a PWM on P9_25 was good, i.e. crud of an LED!
Jul 31 14:51:20 <set_> The one LED I found so far busted. This is putting a damper in my lifecycle of usage and exploitation of the BBAI-64...
Jul 31 14:51:56 <set_> I was going to perform some random LED action. But! LEDs are needed. Aw.
Jul 31 14:52:15 <set_> I used to have a bunch. Time to dig better this time...
Jul 31 15:08:14 * set_ found 'me' stash!
Jul 31 15:09:50 <set_> back to basics!
Jul 31 15:29:31 <set_> Dang it. I will have to wait longer. My skills are rusty.
Jul 31 15:30:01 <set_> Too rusty for basics. Yop...nop. Dang.
Jul 31 15:42:09 <set_> I just got called. No more fun. Blah. Later gators, after while crocodile.

Jul 31 23:45:02 <set_> has anyone in here ever blown up an LED by accident?
Jul 31 23:45:14 <set_> w/ their BBB or BBAI-64, respectively.
Jul 31 23:45:39 <set_> I just cannot get over it. Anyway, let bye gones be bye gones.
Jul 31 23:52:11 <set_> It just makes no sense. I have another LED set up the same way w/ the BBAI-64. And no poof-pop. Thankfully!
Jul 31 23:52:12 <set_> ha.
Jul 31 23:52:42 <set_> Maybe that P9.25 is no good for now. I should have checked.
Jul 31 23:53:01 <set_> Oh. I did change the wire to P9.14.
Jul 31 23:53:20 <set_> Let us give it a go!
Jul 31 23:55:49 <set_> man, rcn-ee is crankin' out the rc's. I shall try this one!
Aug 01 00:03:55 <zmatt> set_: are you using a sufficiently large series resistor?
Aug 01 00:08:17 <set_> Yes.
Aug 01 00:08:23 <set_> No.
Aug 01 00:08:29 <set_> Sorry. No series.
Aug 01 00:08:38 <set_> Just a resistor, i.e. one.
Aug 01 00:08:41 <set_> One resistor.
Aug 01 00:09:36 <set_> Let me start over here.
Aug 01 00:10:38 <set_> I have PWM to anode and GND to cathode w/ a resistor in the circuit, i.e. 470 ohm.
Aug 01 00:10:57 <set_> Single, dinky yellow LED...
Aug 01 00:11:32 <zmatt> by "series resistor" i mean, a resistor in series with the led
Aug 01 00:11:53 <set_> Oh. yes sir.
Aug 01 00:12:11 <zmatt> then dunno how you blew up your led, *shrug*
Aug 01 00:12:19 <set_> I know!
Aug 01 00:12:39 <set_> I was using P9.25 w/ the overlay in extlinux.conf.
Aug 01 00:13:03 <set_> I rebooted. Smash, bash, crash. I thought my AI-64 exploded. Ha.
Aug 01 00:13:15 <set_> I know it would not.
Aug 01 00:13:23 <set_> But still, I got overwhelmed.
Aug 01 00:13:38 <set_> Papercuts to gaping wounds here.
Aug 01 00:19:28 <set_> @zmatt: What is a normal period and duty_cycle?
Aug 01 00:19:47 <set_> Or is it up to the user. I read the Linux docs. about pwm.txt.
Aug 01 00:20:05 <set_> it seems that duty_cycle needs to be less than period.
Aug 01 00:32:32 <set_> I see tons of examples. rcn-ee even replied about my lack of experience in what is going on right now. So, I am not completely blind here.
Aug 01 00:33:24 <set_> Anyway, no issue.
