Nov 02 03:01:22 <set_> Okay...so before me is a barrel jack to screw terminal "dongle".
Nov 02 03:01:39 <set_> I am going to use 5v @ 2A to test first.
Nov 02 03:10:53 <set_> Okay...so. Everything is a go. The barrel jack to screw terminal is plugged in and is powering the servos. now, time for some source.
Nov 02 03:20:12 <set_> Now...I cannot be certain this happened but I am sure this could have been a cause to me not understanding.
Nov 02 03:20:41 <set_> I could have had positive on the ServoCape to the GND of the BBB.
Nov 02 03:20:42 <set_> Argh.
Nov 02 03:20:56 <set_> I am not sure.
Nov 02 03:22:54 <set_> I cannot describe now what is going on.
Nov 02 03:23:30 <set_> So, I set the server to handle angles, right. So, 0, 25, 50, 180, respectively.
Nov 02 03:23:52 <set_> I put it on 0 w/out the delay.
Nov 02 03:24:27 <set_> The listed servos inch or move slowly to their destination while the delay helps w/ speed of the servos.
Nov 02 03:25:41 <set_> So, if I call "0" degrees for the angle, it moves slowly to the angle of 0 degrees but if I call "25" w/ the delay, the servos individually move faster but not simultaneously.
Nov 02 03:27:19 <set_> I got to tell this fellow about my error. Yikes. I am pretty sure, almost 100% positive, that GND to the BBB was at the positive end of the screw terminal of the ServoCape.
Nov 02 03:27:24 <set_> Hmm.
Nov 02 03:28:05 <set_> I think it was set up this way to annoy me on purpose. Someone else was here. Not your issue.
Nov 02 03:28:10 <set_> Thank you, @zmatt.
Nov 02 03:35:31 <Guest78> Hello, is there a documentation or SDK to understand how to use the MMA (fast matrix multiplier) of the beagleboard AI 64 ?
Nov 02 03:40:45 <set_> Yeppers. 10w is not enough to drive them.
Nov 02 03:53:25 <zmatt> jkridner: do you have any idea why TI isn't publishing C7x documentation, in constrast to the C6x which has always been well-documented?
Nov 02 03:55:32 <zmatt> especially since it seems to be positioned to replace the C6x... the J721s2 has dropped the C66 cores and replaced them by another C71 instance
Nov 02 11:01:23 <set_> @zmatt: So...yep. No amps and no fast movements so far. I ordered a part. DC-DC converter. Hopefully, this little contraption can alleviate my woes w/ the many servos. It takes in 12v and hands out 5v at 10A max.
Nov 02 11:01:48 <set_> I should have built it but I am lazy. Blah.
Nov 02 11:02:52 <set_> Now that I think of it, I already built an amp but it was faulty. I should have rekindled the effects.
Nov 02 11:07:41 <set_> The only issue was the lack of a pot. I could not control the output...it was a frequency that fluctuated.
Nov 02 11:30:12 <set_> now what freq, no clue. I should have checked more into it.
