• [00:02:49] <georgem_home> SpeedEvil: I've been looking at several designs trying to understand the details, thanks for your suggestions.
  • [00:03:45] <SpeedEvil> I found a really nice one for mice.
  • [00:04:00] <SpeedEvil> But I've lost the bookmark, can't find it - and suspect the site is down
  • [00:04:36] <georgem_home> I had read that a lot of the designs used phototransitors that put out a 0-20ma signal and you needed to run it through an OP AMP before converting it into a voltage readable by the MCU.

  • [00:10:14] <georgem_home> and put the image in /tmp
  • [00:11:24] <georgem_home> if the image won't fit in /tmp then you might have a problem unless you used netcat or something

  • [00:11:41] <KyleYankan> I wonder if I can dd the image while it's still in my go-pro

Looking at usb for the beaglebone, file am33xx.dtsi this section: http://pastebin.com/mw1WuHMu lines 3 to 5 are obviously the usb phy control registers from the TRM. What I don't understand yet is how the values port0-mode = <3>; and port1-mode = <1>; know to go to USB0MODE at offset E8h from 0x47401000 and USB1MODE at offset E8h from 0x47401800

  • [02:54:26] <mekanical> Ya, the VDS(V) = 100V
  • [02:54:58] <magyarm> the 100V is the maximum it can take
  • [02:55:03] <mekanical> ooooooh
  • [02:55:13] <mekanical> so it can handle 5V 1A

  • [02:55:14] <magyarm> the thresho;ld vpoltage is what it needs to switch
  • [02:55:23] <mekanical> ok! Sweet
  • [02:55:37] <mekanical> So, before I go willy nilly plugging stuff into beagle bone
  • [02:55:56] <mekanical> I want to use my breadboard to test this stuff
  • [02:56:36] <mekanical> Any suggestions on replicating GPIO from beaglebone?
  • [02:56:49] <magyarm> yes. Just use some wire to plug a gpio from the bone to the gate of the moset
  • [02:56:57] <mekanical> lol
  • [02:56:58] <mekanical> kk
  • [02:57:04] <mekanical> If I get black smoke
  • [02:57:06] <mekanical> I will cry
  • [02:57:07] <mekanical> =)
  • [02:57:15] <mekanical> I thank you so much for your assistance
  • [02:57:18] <mekanical> I will update later
  • [02:57:30] <magyarm> replicating? if you don't want to hook the *bone up immediately you can just use wire and plug into your 3.3V and 0V to test
  • [02:57:31] <manamonghippos> Does anyone know about an issue with c6runlib-cc getting stuck in a loop and never finishing?
  • [02:57:59] <magyarm> remember, don't put 5V onto any beaglebone pin
  • [02:58:09] <magyarm> and use current limit resistor!
  • [02:58:11] <mekanical> ok, so the 3.3V & 0V connected to the gate should switch it
  • [02:58:28] <mekanical> if I remove wire, then it will drop circuit
  • [02:58:41] <magyarm> yes
  • [02:58:53] <magyarm> watch this video to give you an idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaIpz00lE84

  • [02:59:01] <mekanical> thank you!
  • [02:59:10] <mekanical> I like videos!
  • [02:59:21] <mekanical> just FYI, http://www-cogsci.ucsd.edu/~deak/cdlab/
  • [02:59:41] <mekanical> we are using EEG to control these LED's and maybe audio during mother/infant interactions =)
  • [02:59:44] <magyarm> hahaha, people now a days prefer to learn from videos
  • [03:00:31] * riotz (riotz@unaffiliated/riotz) has joined #beagle
  • [03:00:42] <magyarm> just curious, but why not use a simple micro? it would be cheaper and (I believe) easier to begin development for

  • [03:00:59] <mekanical> simple micro?
  • [03:01:06] <mekanical> oooooh
  • [03:01:07] <mekanical> b/c
  • [03:01:12] <mekanical> I want Python

  • [03:02:30] <magyarm> hmm, a micro (or even arduino) i still think would have a lower learning curve
  • [03:02:41] <mekanical> We are using python to record input from http://www.naturalpoint.com/optitrack/products/arena/
  • [03:02:48] <mekanical> Two EEG's
  • [03:02:59] <mekanical> and incorporating all of this through LAN
  • [03:03:19] <mekanical> basically, the EEG recording being initiated will create a light on event

  • [03:03:32] <mekanical> and help synchronize the video
  • [03:03:48] <magyarm> interesting project
  • [03:03:52] <mekanical> I don't want to use USB cable
  • [03:04:14] <mekanical> I would be happy to send pictures to you, or even video once done
  • [03:04:20] <mekanical> we are hoping to begin trials soon
  • [03:05:33] <magyarm> ping me on here, I'd like to see this thing working
  • [03:05:40] <mekanical> will do
  • [03:06:11] <magyarm> if you have time, post on the beagleboard mailing list / google group with what you have done on the bone. I'm sure many people would find it interesting (especially if you include code :P)
  • [03:06:41] <magyarm> not proprietary code mind you! just the generic python for using bone pins
  • [03:06:48] <magyarm> more examples are always good
  • [03:12:09] <mekanical> I will!
  • [03:12:18] <mekanical> Never would have thought to look @ mosfet
  • [03:12:24] <mekanical> Really appreciate it!

  • [03:25:58] <g00s> hello, have the following goal: use a beagleboard, running android, to test regular android apps i write. to do that, I would need to be able to interact with the UI .. so I need the screen shown (which can respond to mouse clicks) on my desktop; as well as my desktop keyboard events going to the beagle. is this possible ?

  • [03:30:34] <thurgood> g00s: should just be a matter of getting android up and running.... what's the purpose of using the beagle though you can run android in an emulator on your desktop
  • [03:30:58] <thurgood> ... unless you already have a beagle
  • [03:31:55] <g00s> thurgood the emu is notoriously slow; x86 images have their issues too. i'm using genymotion at the moment, but it doesn't have bluetooth. i really need that ;)
