May 04 10:19:52 <jivs> Greetings
May 04 10:20:23 <jivs> need some help for reading neo freerunner accelerometer using c program
May 04 10:23:38 <SpeedEvil> Have you looked on the wiki - search under accelerometre?R
May 04 10:26:32 <jivs> i am using that example code for c
May 04 10:26:57 <jivs> it reads from the /dev/input/event3 but gives inconsistent values for x, y,z
May 04 10:27:42 <jivs> i found that if i remove the close(fd) bit from the code , it gives consistent data
May 04 10:28:07 <jivs> but it will give "too many open files error" after 2 or 3 min
May 04 10:28:30 <SpeedEvil> What do you mean by inconsistent?
May 04 10:28:32 <jivs> so not sure how to solve that issue.
May 04 10:29:26 <jivs> i meant even when free runner is not moving , the value for x changes from -90 to may be 200 and vice versa
May 04 10:29:41 <SpeedEvil> You should expect some noise.
May 04 10:29:48 <SpeedEvil> Probably not that much though.
May 04 10:30:05 <SpeedEvil> where is the example code - not used it
May 04 10:30:11 <jivs> it doesn't happen when there is no close bit
May 04 10:30:33 <jivs> in the wiki . accelerometer data retrieval page
May 04 10:30:41 <SpeedEvil> link - having issues
May 04 10:31:30 <jivs> and my limited knowledge on file opening is not helping either
May 04 10:32:13 <SpeedEvil> Also - you do know htere are two accels?
May 04 10:32:17 <SpeedEvil> At an angle?
May 04 10:33:59 <jivs> i am currently reading from event3 i think that is the accelerometer towards the bottom of the phone
May 04 10:34:56 <SpeedEvil> What's the page URL - search not working here
May 04 10:35:56 <jivs> shall i paste here
May 04 10:36:17 <SpeedEvil> yes - the url
May 04 10:36:23 <jivs> http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Accelerometer_data_retrieval 
May 04 10:39:16 <SpeedEvil> I'd movre the open outside the while loop - the whole if-open-return loop - as well as the close
May 04 10:39:54 <SpeedEvil> Or do the usleep after teh open, not before the close, to give the accel time to startup
May 04 10:41:15 <jivs> sure i will try that and see the change in result 
May 04 10:56:02 <jivs> SpeedEvil, thank u so much
May 04 10:56:40 <jivs> its far better now, few noise but there is no noise in between the data reads
May 04 10:56:53 <jivs> which is acceptable for what we are trying to do
May 04 10:57:03 <SpeedEvil> :)
May 04 11:30:22 <PaulFertser> jivs: fyi the accelerometer driver turns the devices off when the event file is closed.
May 04 17:28:49 <Zeti> hi folks
May 04 17:28:55 <Zeti> freshly installed SHR 2011.1
May 04 17:29:09 <Zeti> and IÄm trying to get into my wlan with Iliwi
May 04 17:29:19 <Zeti> it's wpa2 aes encrypted 
May 04 17:29:30 <Zeti> and the app is now showing Connecting for hours
May 04 17:29:50 <Zeti> any ideas, help, input?
May 04 17:30:22 <PaulFertser> Zeti: i suggest using wpa_supplicant directly
May 04 17:30:41 <h4v> Zeti: i use NWA
May 04 17:30:56 <PaulFertser> Zeti: also reading http://www.mail-archive.com/community@lists.openmoko.org/msg58146.html might help
May 04 17:31:04 <PaulFertser> And yes, Hi :)
May 04 17:33:17 <Zeti> PaulFertser, I'm not done giving up on a UI
May 04 17:33:22 <Zeti> h4v, what is NWA?
May 04 17:38:53 <h4v> wifi manager in qt
May 04 17:39:12 <Zeti> ah
May 04 17:39:17 <h4v> src/gz noko-testing-armv4t http://noko.sourceforge.net/testing/om2009/armv4t
May 04 17:40:35 <Zeti> sdio_ar6000: probe of mmc0:0001:1 failed with error -110 <- I hate it
May 04 17:50:21 <Zeti> now my wlan card is not detected anymore
May 04 17:50:42 <Zeti> Iliwi does find it
May 04 17:50:48 <Zeti> what the heck
May 04 18:01:00 <PaulFertser> Zeti: it looks like you haven't looked at the mail i've gave you a link to...
May 04 18:01:06 <PaulFertser> given, even
May 04 18:07:31 <Zeti> it definitely doesn't look like settings for my graphical wlan manager
May 04 18:12:21 <Zeti> it seems it times out at the 4way handshake
May 04 18:16:47 * PaulFertser sighs
May 04 18:19:38 <Zeti> you know there is a reason why there is simple english in wiki
May 04 18:19:43 <Zeti> brb after changing my SSID
May 04 18:19:47 <PaulFertser> ROTFL
May 04 18:19:56 <PaulFertser> Never tried reading a "simple english" article, tbh.
May 04 18:20:59 <PaulFertser> That's being a non-native speaker. But i'd better google for ``define:<something>'' and learn something new.
May 04 18:21:05 <Zeti> try explaining 4way handshake to your neighbor's cat
May 04 18:21:05 <Zeti> that's simple english
May 04 18:22:01 <PaulFertser> I confess i never knew WPA/RSN enough to understand the exact meaning of the "4-way handshake" message in my logs.
May 04 18:22:48 <PaulFertser> Neither do i remember types of modulation used in various 802.11* modes etc etc
May 04 18:24:44 <PaulFertser> Oh, and those new "advances" in wifi such as "WPS" and "P2P", man, i read, shuttered and forgot almost instantly all about those.
May 04 18:25:03 <Zeti> worked
May 04 18:25:05 <Zeti> strange
May 04 18:25:11 <Zeti> on the last distro it worked fine
May 04 18:25:14 <Zeti> anyway
May 04 18:25:22 <Zeti> updating, modding and upgrading :-)
May 04 19:23:42 <PBeck> hi
May 04 19:26:43 <Zeti> hi
