  31. [02:19:23] <nwp> Good evening! A newbie question, please.
  32. [02:20:35] <nwp> Are there working Beagle projects that use the DSP core for anything other than media codecs?
  33. [02:21:02] <nwp> I am curious to see how much the DSP side of the chip is being used by the community.

  37. [02:30:05] <as_leep> nwp, I don't think the media codecs use it yet.

  39. [02:30:21] * jrmuizel (n=jrmuizel@CPE001f5be79d0f-CM0017ee62f8b0.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) has joined #beagle
  40. [02:30:32] <as_leep> Last I remeber I think they were being NEON optimised until better DSP tools came out.
  41. [02:33:49] <nwp> as_leep, interesting! Looking at some amateur Software Defined Radio (SDR) projects, which take two audio inputs, the signal processing parts seem to be do-able in 100-200 Pentium MIPS.
  42. [02:34:44] <nwp> So the ARM side of the OMAP processor on Beagleboard should handle this quite well. But I'm thinking the DSP side would do even better, and allow higher bandwidths.
  43. [02:36:13] <as_leep> People have not been complimentary about the quality of the audio on the board.
  44. [02:37:42] <as_leep> I've not tried it yet, alas I need some sleep, it's past 3am here. I'll look back to see if anyone else had anything to say about the DSP as I'm curious myself.
  45. [02:37:46] <as_leep> Gnite.
  46. [02:38:16] <nwp> Ah, good night.
  47. [02:38:33] <nwp> And thanks for the advice.
  48. [02:38:48] <as_leep> btw, for SDR the audio bandwidth is almost certainly limiting.
  49. [02:39:11] <as_leep> Followed by the heterodyne radio stage.
  50. [02:41:18] <nwp> Google on "amateur SDR" ... Most amateur projects use a simple quadrature mixer to go from RF directly to 0-20 KHz, 2 channels, then use PC sound cards to digitize.
  51. [02:41:31] <muriani> it's possible that a higher-quality USB audio card would assist?
  52. [02:42:15] <nwp> the IF frequency is about 12 KHz. It's a neat trick that limits the bandwidth of the DSP chain, which is okay for ham radio (voice and CW) signals.
  53. [02:42:26] <muriani> my Creative Extigy is being used on my embedded PPC system, alsa supports it quire well.
  54. [02:42:55] <muriani> I'd think any similarly supported quality component would help
  55. [02:44:01] <nwp> There are some "audio" interfaces out there that will digitize more than 100 KHz bandwidth. This translates to 100 KHz radio bandwidth due to 2 input channels in quadrature phase.
  56. [02:44:48] <nwp> Beyond that there are the GnuRadio USRP-style input stages, A/D at 60 to 100 MSPS, then digital downconverter to reasonable baseband bandwidths.
  57. [02:45:29] <nwp> The trouble with the USRP approach is that all the front end hardware costs $700 and up. (Euro 600+ ?)
  58. [02:46:49] <nwp> I'm thinking that Beagleboard plus some "compromise" front end could make a complete general-coverage receiver for perhaps $300 total.

  61. [02:47:28] <TypoNAM> sounds cool nwp :)
  62. [02:48:33] <nwp> It would be a pretty ambitious project. I notice two profs at the US Naval Academy are trying this. More power to them!
  63. [02:53:55] <nwp> thanks for the info - good night!

  80. [04:05:01] <bobkatzz> or is there another "flavor" of Angstrom that has it?

  90. [04:33:56] <muriani> they do that
  91. [04:34:05] <LiraNuna> what's the state of OGL ES drivers on the beagle?

  95. [04:47:04] <bobkatzz> hey muriani
  96. [04:47:23] <bobkatzz> approaching singularity hehe
  97. [04:48:29] <bobkatzz> last step ---->>> converge distro that support ethernet adapter >><< and distro that supports SDR >>> ---------
  98. [04:49:52] <bobkatzz> they may be mutually exclusive :(
  99. [04:50:24] <bobkatzz> LiraNuna -- sorry can't answer your question - maybe someone else can
  100. [04:50:54] <LiraNuna> I know omap3 has PowerVR SGX, but is it being used?
  101. [04:51:18] <muriani> yes
  102. [04:51:25] <LiraNuna> GPL drivers?
  103. [04:51:46] <muriani> that I'm not sure on, I believe it's a blob?
  104. [04:52:05] <bobkatzz> muriani do you know if there an X11 desktop for Angstrom or is it strictly command line?
  105. [04:52:14] <muriani> there's x11
  106. [04:52:21] <bobkatzz> kewl
  107. [04:52:32] <muriani> most seem to use xfce4 or e17 as the window manager
  108. [04:52:50] <bobkatzz> ok
  109. [04:52:51] <muriani> e17's wonderfully light, and pretty as well
  110. [04:53:31] <muriani> but I'm not sure if there are precompiled binaries of e17. You may have to compile from svn
  111. [04:53:32] <bobkatzz> I did an lxde build of Ubuntu but koen says that fldigi will "run like ass" on it
  112. [04:53:43] <bobkatzz> as in "smell like . . ." hehe
  113. [04:53:46] <muriani> fldigi?
  114. [04:54:02] <muriani> I'm not familiar with that, is it the WM lxde uses?
  115. [04:54:22] <bobkatzz> yeah it's one of the SDR programs that supports my transceiver
  116. [04:54:29] <muriani> ooh
  117. [04:54:59] <bobkatzz> http://www.w1hkj.com/Fldigi.html
  118. [04:55:04] <muriani> yeah, if all else fails, maybe something like fluxbox would be best
  119. [04:55:11] <muriani> something incredibly minimal
  120. [04:55:27] <bobkatzz> http://www.w1hkj.com/images/Ubuntu-3.1.jpg
  121. [04:56:06] <bobkatzz> yeah lxde is really nice and lite but I couldn't get my ehternet to work with it (yet)
  122. [04:56:38] <muriani> lxde shouldn't preclude the ethernet from running, it's just a desktop environment
  123. [04:56:48] <bobkatzz> so I'm going back to Angstrom to get some experience with the ethernet settings and then try again
  124. [04:57:14] <muriani> I'm really tempted to get a beagle long before I should afford one
  125. [04:57:26] <bobkatzz> well it's the Ubuntu then (and my gross lack of knowledge on the subject )
  126. [04:57:40] <muriani> that's possible
  127. [04:57:46] <bobkatzz> you can try Gumstix too they are related
  128. [04:58:08] <bobkatzz> I don't know how much cheaper they are
  129. [04:58:13] <muriani> yeah, but if I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna get the beagle.
  130. [04:58:40] <muriani> it's really just the best bang for the buck, I think
  131. [04:59:16] <muriani> so, that text there, I assume that's auto-decoded cw?
  132. [04:59:40] <bobkatzz> also I couldn't get the screen setting in lxde to change and all my controls ended up off the bottom of the screen - that was not helpful
  133. [04:59:47] <muriani> ew yeha
  134. [05:01:26] <bobkatzz> no it's BPSK31 - if you look in the lower left below the "waterfall" you will see the mode displayed there
  135. [05:02:03] <muriani> I really know nothing about such things so far
  136. [05:02:10] <bobkatzz> PSK31 is really just CW at about 330 baud
  137. [05:02:19] <muriani> ah, hehe
  138. [05:02:34] <muriani> I've hardly even had time to study for my technician's license
  139. [05:02:34] <bobkatzz> then there's PSK68 (I believe) that's faster
  140. [05:03:03] <muriani> new job's quite busy.
  141. [05:03:08] <bobkatzz> then there's Hellschreiber ooooooooooooo - voodoo!
  142. [05:03:19] <bobkatzz> what do you do?
  143. [05:03:39] <bobkatzz> did you tell me already - sorry if you did
  144. [05:03:53] <muriani> I'm a linux server and network admin
  145. [05:03:59] <bobkatzz> I'm all fulla distros and compiling an stuff
  146. [05:04:03] <bobkatzz> kewl
  147. [05:04:13] <muriani> I used to be desktop support... was bored off my ass all the time
  148. [05:04:17] <bobkatzz> then you're a good guy to know hehe
  149. [05:04:39] <muriani> that was when I started looking into radio, right at the end of that
  150. [05:04:41] <bobkatzz> linux is very nice - my kids shamed into leaving MS long ago
  151. [05:04:46] <muriani> hehe
  152. [05:04:52] <muriani> I use MS on my desktop at home
  153. [05:04:59] <muriani> Windows 7 currently
  154. [05:05:01] <bobkatzz> yeah all the digital radio stuff is really bleeding edge now
  155. [05:05:14] <bobkatzz> yeah I have to have it too - but
  156. [05:05:24] <muriani> every other machine I have here in the apartment is linux or BSD.

  160. [05:06:02] <muriani> 2 debian, one ubuntu, one FreeBSD
  161. [05:06:03] <bobkatzz> sorry bill
  162. [05:06:09] <bobkatzz> nice
  163. [05:06:17] <bobkatzz> Suse sucks though
  164. [05:06:19] <muriani> one of the debian machines is a little embedded PPC box
  165. [05:06:22] <muriani> yeah
  166. [05:06:35] <bobkatzz> it's the only German thing that I've ever seen not work
  167. [05:06:40] <muriani> haha
  168. [05:06:49] <muriani> I liked SuSE at first
  169. [05:07:04] <bobkatzz> I liked their logo :D
  170. [05:07:04] <muriani> older versions though

  172. [05:07:19] <muriani> I liked that it came with *everything*
  173. [05:07:44] <bobkatzz> I had to have it on a server my son built for me so that the RAID 5 would work with the chaepo card that was all I could afford
  174. [05:07:57] <muriani> but now, I'm a little more minimalist
  175. [05:07:58] <muriani> hehe
  176. [05:07:59] <muriani> yeah
  177. [05:08:07] <muriani> linux softraid's not too bad
  178. [05:08:15] <bobkatzz> hell mine didn't even have "locate" and other vanilla flavors
  179. [05:08:24] <muriani> I'm using BSD's GEOM softraid on my NAS
  180. [05:08:42] <bobkatzz> don't say that in mixed company hehe
  181. [05:08:51] <muriani> FreeNAS is a pretty slick little NAS setup though.
  182. [05:09:02] <bobkatzz> you'll get your face slapped :)
  183. [05:09:06] <muriani> heh
  184. [05:09:14] <muriani> pfft, I don't care
  185. [05:09:23] <muriani> I use whatever I need to.
  186. [05:10:04] <bobkatzz> I like to say that ham radio is the only pursuit where you can ask a girl "how's the MUF tonight?" and not get your face slapped hehe

  193. [05:11:19] <bobkatzz> yep - me off to baid - got a phone interview tomorrow
  194. [05:11:30] <muriani> good luck!
  195. [05:11:40] <bobkatzz> and then lots of Beagle barking before the weekend

  300. [09:42:40] <maxired> I'm using Angstorm on a 2.6.28 kernel and would like to change the psplash picture
  301. [09:42:57] <maxired> does anybody had ever done this ?
  302. [09:45:40] <florian> maxired: yes this isn't that complicated. look for the examples in the recipes/psplash directory
  303. [09:49:51] <maxired> florian : could you be more explicit ? do I need to recompile psplash ?
  304. [09:50:18] <florian> maxired: yes, the logo is compiled in
  305. [09:52:40] <zumbi> hi - i have also been able to boot angstrom, but how do you attach a keyboard or mouse (input devices) to the beagle?

  312. [09:59:37] <zumbi> right now, board is being powered by the usb connector, can it also be attached an input device (usb hub) ?
  313. [10:01:47] <koen> florian: the logo is now managed with update-alternatives, so adding a new psplash-mylogo recipe is all that's needed
  314. [10:02:05] <koen> florian: that avoid patching psplash_svn with a gazillion overrides
  315. [10:02:21] <mru> zumbi: if your hub violates spec and supplies power to the host, yes
  316. [10:04:29] <florian> zumbi: you can this if you have a usb hub that powers the uplink port as well. i guess that violates the specs but some cheap mini-hubs do this
  317. [10:05:25] <florian> koen: yes... but I guess maxired was searching for a way to do this without compiling
  318. [10:06:09] <SplasH> Is it possible to use the beagleboard as an i2c-slave?
  319. [10:06:27] <zumbi> but my hub has different connector (standard one, i do not recall the exact name) and OTG has one of those mini conectors.. this is a bit confusing

  390. [12:16:20] <topi_> hello.
  391. [12:16:44] <topi_> can anyone tell me how to make the beagle recognize a newly inserted SD/MMC card? I can't see any switch there to flip a GPIO to notify about the mmc change
  392. [12:17:08] <ali_as> What has your rootfs?
  393. [12:17:30] <topi_> i created a jffs2 on the NAND and tarr'd stuff from the angstrom demo distro there
  394. [12:17:31] <ali_as> And what OS are you using?
  395. [12:17:41] <topi_> it boots ok from there so I don't need MMC for booting any longer
  396. [12:17:48] <ali_as> Cool.
  397. [12:18:04] <topi_> but this was a hardware question. is there any hw switch that is bound to a GPIO to notify the kernel about MMC change?
  398. [12:18:06] <ali_as> Does it unpack to ram to run?

  400. [12:18:44] <ali_as> I suspect there is an IO line that is broken by removing a card.
  401. [12:18:45] <topi_> nope, i just mount jffs2 root from flash
  402. [12:20:08] <topi_> maybe the kernel is just buggy. i'm using 2.6.28 kernel compiled by koen
  403. [12:20:10] <ali_as> Best to chec the schematic.
  404. [12:20:38] <ali_as> Its the sort of thing that would go unnoticed as most people have the rootfs on SD card.
  405. [12:20:58] <topi_> I just bought a 16GB SD card and am anxious to see if it works with beagle or not
  406. [12:21:48] <ali_as> I had a few errors with my sdhc 4G card. That was with the february release.
  407. [12:22:10] <ali_as> Those glitches may have been fixed by now.
  408. [12:26:40] <ali_as> Are you booting the kernel off sd?
  409. [12:27:00] <topi_> no, the kernel comes from the NAND
  410. [12:27:27] <ali_as> Any reason you need to swap in order to access the card then?
  411. [12:27:41] <topi_> i also bought a hdmi->dvi adapter but d'oh, it was of wrong gender! i hate this.
  412. [12:27:55] <topi_> i want to see some video out of the little board!
  413. [12:28:45] <ali_as> Wrong gender?!
  414. [12:29:14] <topi_> yeah. the beagle HDMI output is a female connector, and i bought a HDMI female - DVI male
  415. [12:29:23] <topi_> female-female doesn't match, you know

  464. [13:26:15] <muriani> sorry, that's not allowed :p
  465. [13:26:26] <AV500> only one per week!
  466. [13:26:26] <Kithera> I have always planned to put a 20x4 char serial lcd on my beagle.
  467. [13:26:37] <AV500> ah, those were the times
  468. [13:26:50] <topi_> what for? showing uptimes? :)
  469. [13:27:42] <Kithera> But, recently I was reading about Steve Roberts, and his bikes from the 80's http://microship.com/bike/behemoth/index.html
  470. [13:28:05] <Kithera> @topi_ mostly, and mpd info, and home automation status
  471. [13:28:53] <Kithera> And I was wondering if there are any options I have for a "large" text display, could be strictly on serial.
  472. [13:29:19] <AV500> 4x20 is large?
  473. [13:29:19] <Kithera> by large, I mean > 8" with a 40x24 char display or better
  474. [13:30:07] <AV500> IBM selectric?
  475. [13:30:30] <Kithera> and (B), If I got such a display (and assuming I'm quite happy stuck to a linux command line) would it be comprible in terms of price and power.

  481. [13:33:31] <topi_> i'm building my Beagle for my sailing boat, so I guess I'm crazy as well
  482. [13:33:36] <Kithera> And all of that ham equipment
  483. [13:33:46] <Kithera> Then you should look at his newer stuff.
  484. [13:34:00] <Kithera> He traded his bike for a sailboat quite some times ago.

  522. [13:56:08] <muriani> Kithera: yeah, I figured

  564. [14:16:46] <Kithera> Actual I was just joking about it, but a functional TRS-80 model 100 apprently ebays for less than 100
  565. [14:17:11] <Kithera> I wonder if there are any keyboard hacks for it.
  566. [14:17:25] * Kithera really likes IBM model M keyboards
  567. [14:17:56] * AV500 types on an BM model M keyboard
  568. [14:19:36] * Kithera uses a customized unicomp model
  569. [14:20:25] * mru uses a 'das keyboard'
  570. [14:21:05] <Kithera> Yep that is about what I got customized

  574. [14:23:38] <Kithera> Although mine has enough crud on it, it went from black to dull grey
  575. [14:24:17] <AV500> actually; I could have a grey "das kbd" by removing all the caps from the type M
  576. [14:25:09] * florian doesn't expect to find many friends of Silicon Graphics keyboards here ;)
  577. [14:25:17] <Kithera> It's nice that you have one of the origionals, those are getting hard to find

  587. [14:33:48] <eFfeM> koen, thanks for the pic. looks very nice. Anything special needed to get it running or did it compile out of the box (not sure whether I actually tested wmgui when I looked at the wiimote)
  588. [14:34:07] <koen> eFfeM: it's part of cwiid
  589. [14:34:14] <eFfeM> koen, i know
  590. [14:34:24] <koen> eFfeM: I ran it, put the mote in discoverable mode and *presto*
  591. [14:34:32] <hrw> keyboards...
  592. [14:34:41] <eFfeM> nice, i know i tested it with cmd line but was not sure about the gui part
  593. [14:34:45] <hrw> I use Microsoft Ergonomic 4000
  594. [14:35:06] <eFfeM> mostly sidetracked with all kind of non fun issues last week :-(
  595. [14:35:10] <koen> eFfeM: btw, what's your opinion on adding an extra hd720 mode to modedb.c that uses inverted sync?
  596. [14:35:26] <eFfeM> still working on the frame prototype
  597. [14:35:48] <eFfeM> koen, i would prefer things to be automatic (e.g, based upon edid)
  598. [14:35:53] <koen> eFfeM: so you can do omapfb.mode=dvi:hd720 and omapfb.mode=dvi:hd720ytiralop
  599. [14:36:33] <eFfeM> ytiralop ? is that supposed to be an acronym of somehting?
  600. [14:36:43] <hrw> does someone know how to get information which devnode /dev/root is?
  601. [14:36:59] <eFfeM> hrw: ls -l /dev/root ?
  602. [14:37:07] <hrw> eFfeM: no such file or directory
  603. [14:37:08] <koen> eFfeM: that's 'polarity' inversed :)
  604. [14:37:16] <eFfeM> ah :p
  605. [14:37:29] <koen> eFfeM: since 'i' would get mistaken for interlaced
  606. [14:37:48] <hrw> koen: hd720is
  607. [14:37:58] <hrw> is as "inverted sync"
  608. [14:38:01] <koen> hrw: same problem
  609. [14:38:09] <hrw> so hd720p-is
  610. [14:38:10] <koen> people see 'i' and go crazy
  611. [14:38:18] <eFfeM> hd720invsync
  612. [14:38:35] <hrw> I use 1280x800MR-16@50 iirc
  613. [14:38:35] <eFfeM> hd720psync versus hd720nsync ?
  614. [14:38:41] <koen> interlaced negative vsyncn
  615. [14:38:56] <eFfeM> hrw isn't /dev/root just a symlink to the dev that has the root fs ?
  616. [14:39:16] <eFfeM> can't check
  617. [14:39:28] <hrw> root@bug:~# ls -l /dev/root
  618. [14:39:28] <hrw> ls: cannot access /dev/root: No such file or directory
  619. [14:40:01] <hrw> same on beagleboard
  620. [14:40:02] <eFfeM> koen, wrt hd720: I would prefer an automated mechanism that will allow me to connect to either my monitor or my tv and work with the same u-boot settings
  621. [14:40:04] <koen> root@beagleboard:~# ls /dev/root -l
  622. [14:40:04] <koen> ls: cannot access /dev/root: No such file or directory
  623. [14:40:09] <eFfeM> guess edid would be the solution there
  624. [14:40:16] <koen> eFfeM: most TVs lie about their polarity

  632. [14:43:57] <eFfeM> what about using the edid info as a starter and allow for a list of extensions. The edid info identifies the device so it should not be that difficult to create an exception table (and fill that as we encounter non-compliant systems)
  633. [14:44:03] <recalcati> eFfeM: I've looked the source of u-boot present on rev B7 . There are video registers set, but there are no comment. Impossible to understand,.
  634. [14:44:13] <koen> eFfeM: well, I'm after a quick fix for now
  635. [14:44:13] <eFfeM> or in your terms: that are lying on their sync
  636. [14:44:27] <koen> adding a new mode is a lot easier than to forward port the edid hack
  637. [14:44:39] <eFfeM> koen, quick fix is additional mode
  638. [14:44:44] <eFfeM> what about hd720-s
  639. [14:44:54] <koen> fine by me
  640. [14:44:54] <eFfeM> that would be -s for inverted sync
  641. [14:45:03] <koen> does anyone have the timings for that?
  642. [14:45:27] <eFfeM> what I had was a patch that toggles some regs
  643. [14:45:36] <eFfeM> but the pastebin is probably expired
  644. [14:45:37] <koen> as in, any volunteers to update http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/tree/recipes/linux/linux-omap-2.6.28/modedb-hd720.patch?id=e1d669119346c6fe36373873ab364716b9a941af to add 2 modes?

  655. [14:53:35] <recalcati> anyway I saw that u-boot displays correctly the logo on two differents tv (soby,samsung) instead with the kernel I had an horizontal shift of about 82pixel in one tv (I don't remember which one)

  669. [15:14:02] <mib_fnl4vd> cool, i just bought the beagle, hasnt arrived yet and i just found out about pandora ;-)
  670. [15:16:03] <muriani> yeah, the only major differences are just that the pandora has wifi/bluetooth/keyboard/gamepad/touchscreen/etc all built in already :)
  671. [15:16:16] <muriani> Software wise, they're pretty much identical.
  672. [15:18:37] <mib_fnl4vd> cool, where would i get the packages from, is it built into OE?
  673. [15:18:57] <muriani> well, it's all angstrom
  674. [15:19:10] <muriani> the pandora packages will likely have modules for the extra hardware the pandora has

  676. [15:19:44] <muriani> you'll probably want to build a normal beagleboard distro, and then fnd out where the pandora software repository is.. I don't know that off hand

  678. [15:28:07] <mib_fnl4vd> yah so am i, quake on a beagleboard would be sweet
  679. [15:28:50] <AV500> is it even published yet?
  680. [15:28:56] <muriani> Well, one of the things I want to do with it is make it a little multi-console emulator machine for the bedroom.
  681. [15:29:19] <muriani> so I can unhook all my old consoles :p

  690. [15:36:24] <cki> ...
  691. [15:36:29] <cki> mine is verry strange
  692. [15:36:38] <cki> i can't still get the usb working (the otg)
  693. [15:36:51] <muriani> trying to use it as host?

  696. [15:37:10] <cki> well yes
  697. [15:37:17] <cki> i've tried almost everything
  698. [15:37:29] <muriani> are you using a proper adaper for otg to host?
  699. [15:37:45] <cki> well thats one of the thigs i do suspect...
  700. [15:37:52] <cki> but i've got 4 and 5 pin shorted
  701. [15:37:53] <muriani> I have a cable with the right ends on it here, but it doesn't work as an otg adapter
  702. [15:37:56] <muriani> ah, hm
  703. [15:38:02] <muriani> I think that's what's supposed to do it
  704. [15:38:15] <cki> yup but it doesn't
  705. [15:38:23] <cki> once i don't have any idea how
  706. [15:38:26] <cki> i've got the mouse working
  707. [15:38:29] <muriani> yeah, you'll have to wait for one of the other lurkers here to pop up on that one
  708. [15:38:30] <cki> just plugged only the mouse
  709. [15:38:37] <muriani> ooh
  710. [15:38:37] <cki> and the external power to the board
  711. [15:38:40] <muriani> well, that works then
  712. [15:38:51] <muriani> but the hub you have doesn't work?
  713. [15:38:51] <cki> yup but only once.. :D
  714. [15:38:54] <muriani> hm
  715. [15:39:05] <cki> i've bought 1 expensive hub
  716. [15:39:15] <cki> and 4 more that are less expensive ;]
  717. [15:39:18] <cki> same thing.
  718. [15:39:51] <cki> so for last thing i'll do is to look for otg usb cable somewhere on the internet or mobile phone store (nokia N800 i think will work)
  719. [15:40:28] <cki> even the biggest computer shops in here don't know what is "usb mini-A to A female"
  720. [15:40:43] <cki> they give me f**king mini-B ...
  721. [15:40:50] <cki> i've got a lot mini-Bs ;\
  722. [15:42:25] * mru got the blank stare when asking for an idc to dsub cable
  723. [15:42:34] <AV500> cki: yes, OTG never took off, so a lot people dont know about it
  724. [15:43:02] <cki> well how did they use the usb in the earliest versions anyway? (sorry for the bad english ;] )
  725. [15:43:12] <AV500> who?
  726. [15:43:25] <cki> the owners
  727. [15:43:30] <mru> otg is a late addition to the usb spec
  728. [15:44:10] <AV500> cki: you mean the BB owners? they came here daily asking where to get the mini-A cable :-)
  729. [15:44:19] <cki> :D
  730. [15:44:48] <cki> can't i "emulate" the mini-a with the 4 and the 5th pins?
  731. [15:44:51] <cki> shorted
  732. [15:45:03] <AV500> the whole BB is a scam to sell mini-A, IDC-DSUB and HDMI to DVI cables
  733. [15:45:12] <AV500> cki: yes
  734. [15:45:12] <cki> i knew it.. :d
  735. [15:45:34] <cki> but the mini-b shorted version is not working with me...
  736. [15:45:34] <muriani> hah
  737. [15:45:44] <cki> bought like 6 different hubs :D
  738. [15:45:50] * AV500 is now giving out bank account #
  739. [15:45:59] <AV500> cki: see, it worked
  740. [15:46:08] <cki> cut some adapters to mod
  741. [15:46:27] <cki> so where can i get a mini-A cable? :]
  742. [15:46:28] <AV500> cki: will not work, 5th pin is not in the cable
  743. [15:46:54] <AV500> where are you based?
  744. [15:46:59] <cki> bulgaria.. :X
  745. [15:47:06] <cki> eastern europe ;D
  746. [15:47:35] <cki> anywhere... exept digikey please.. (dont want to pay another 150 bucks for shipping)
  747. [15:47:57] <hrw> cki: get mini-B cable and solder pins 4-5 in miniB connector
  748. [15:48:04] <cki> did that ;]
  749. [15:48:09] <hrw> works here
  750. [15:48:10] <cki> to 3 different adaptors :D

  754. [15:48:55] <cki> thank you very much mate ;]

  763. [15:49:56] <muriani> shorting the board

  779. [15:57:00] <topi_> has anyone started hacking on an ethernet interface for beagle? then it would make for a nice pwr-efficient server, with a suitably sized USB hard drive.
  780. [15:57:24] <Stan-Dave> hi, USB question.
  781. [15:57:57] <Stan-Dave> Occasionally my USB devices just stop responding. Ethernet interface dies (though ifconfig still says it's up), my keyboard and mouse stop responding.
  782. [15:58:05] <Stan-Dave> lsusb says that all devices are still connected.
  783. [15:58:15] <Stan-Dave> there are no messages from dmesg
  784. [15:58:24] * cbrake_away is now known as cbrake
  785. [15:58:44] <Stan-Dave> Unplugging my USB hub doesn't change anything: no messages, and lsusb still says everything is connected.
  786. [15:58:50] <topi_> uh, luckily my usb network adapter has been working all day
  787. [15:59:05] <topi_> but then again, it's directly connected to the USBHOST port, not to any usb hub.

  789. [15:59:19] <Stan-Dave> Does this sound familiar to anyone?
  790. [15:59:58] <Stan-Dave> The only way to get the USB port to start working again is to reset.
  791. [16:01:02] <Stan-Dave> Is there, perhaps, a way to simply reset the USB port? Force it to, I don't know, power down the USB interface or something, and force a redetect/reconnect?
  792. [16:04:26] <AV500> tried to unload all the usb modules?
  793. [16:05:34] <Stan-Dave> "rmmod <ethernet module>" hangs, if that's what you're talking about.

  798. [16:08:34] <zumbi> hi

  882. [17:58:25] <mru> a thistle is certainly more interesting than an atom dev board
  883. [17:58:56] <eFfeM> Crofton, i know, but i consider this as hobbyist stuff and if you want to get started with gnu radio, I think you need at least usd 800 or os
  884. [17:59:53] <koen> that's like 11 eurocents
  885. [18:00:45] <eFfeM> koen do you know anyone in the us who will mail me one for 11 eurocents. to make it more attractive i will try to get cents from 11 different countries :p

  957. [20:02:41] <geckosenator> ?
  958. [20:02:45] <geckosenator> I'm doing it

  963. [20:06:21] <geckosenator> well
  964. [20:06:30] <geckosenator> my projector here is 640x408
  965. [20:06:38] <geckosenator> it gets hot
  966. [20:06:47] <geckosenator> I wonder if I should add a heatsink
  967. [20:08:02] <elementz> what about running the beagle as a server with multiple apps running: eg lightppd, screen, irssi a mail server and a squid proxy at the same time? do you think that would work?
  968. [20:08:33] <elementz> oh, and a media server as well ;-)
  969. [20:09:18] <geckosenator> yes it would work
  970. [20:09:38] <geckosenator> I'm already running sshd screen irssi
  971. [20:09:43] <geckosenator> and other stuff
  972. [20:09:48] <geckosenator> emacspeak works even
  973. [20:09:52] <geckosenator> so I don't need a screen
  974. [20:12:20] <geckosenator> elementz: anyway maybe it can do 720p
  975. [20:12:22] <geckosenator> I haven't tried
  976. [20:12:24] * _AV500_ (n=AV500@IP-213157024130.static.heagmedianet.de) has joined #beagle
  977. [20:12:59] <elementz> would be great if you could check :)
  978. [20:14:35] <elementz> geckosenator: what about the overall performance of that board? it is really hard to tell from the videos online
  979. [20:14:49] <koen> you won't be able to to 720p with debian
  980. [20:14:53] <koen> you need angstrom for that
  981. [20:15:08] <koen> or any other distro that has the ffmpeg neon bits working
  982. [20:15:17] <elementz> what about gentoo?
  983. [20:15:20] <koen> (which is "none" at the moment)
  984. [20:15:27] <elementz> k
  985. [20:15:55] <_AV500_> koen: neon is on mainline ffmpeg
  986. [20:16:29] <koen> _AV500_: and how many distros for the beagle use a recent enough ffmpeg compiled for neon capable cpus?
  987. [20:16:36] <koen> s/beagle/arm/
  988. [20:17:10] <_AV500_> no idea :-)
  989. [20:17:17] <_AV500_> prolly none :-P
  990. [20:17:29] <koen> _AV500_: angstrom does :)
  991. [20:17:32] <koen> so that's 1 :)
  992. [20:17:41] <_AV500_> mine does too
  993. [20:19:47] <elementz> ok, so 720p is possible. fair enough. so much for graphics. but how about overall performance? could you guys give me some info on your experience?
  994. [20:21:05] * abitos (n=nixgibts@dslb-084-057-193-137.pools.arcor-ip.net) has joined #beagle
  995. [20:21:06] <koen> you get decent performance if you distro has been tweaked for armv7a
  996. [20:21:18] <_AV500_> define "overall performance"
  997. [20:21:34] <_AV500_> mouse cursor moves nicely
  998. [20:21:40] <koen> ram is slow, so if you are IO bound...
  999. [20:22:27] <elementz> well, as stated earlier, i'd like to use the beagle as a home server. multiple apps running but no gui
  1000. [20:24:18] <_AV500_> doing what?
  1001. [20:24:35] <koen> beagling
  1002. [20:24:40] <elementz> ok, maybe it would be easier to put it into terms of an x86 cpu. where would the bb rank amongst those?
  1003. [20:24:46] <elementz> lol
  1004. [20:24:46] <_AV500_> depends
  1005. [20:24:50] <_AV500_> :-)
  1006. [20:25:17] <elementz> i guess i'll have to just buy one and find out ;-)
  1007. [20:25:29] <muriani> Closest I saw was "a comparably clocked Pentium 3"
  1008. [20:25:36] * elementz is hooked anyways
  1009. [20:25:40] <elementz> k
  1010. [20:25:47] <_AV500_> see, just buy it
  1011. [20:26:04] <muriani> which, given what I've seen run on the Beagle (sans DSP acceleration) looks about right
  1012. [20:28:18] <elementz> muriani: since the main purpose for the bb will be a server in the beginning, dsp won't be that important. if i see that the box performs well, it would be cool to have it work as a mediacenter.
  1013. [20:28:34] <elementz> but i am looking into the xbox as an alternative as well for that purpose

  1015. [20:29:04] <muriani> the xbox (original) works well for video playback as long as it's SD, and not h.264
  1016. [20:29:23] <muriani> even SD res h.264 hurts on the xbox
  1017. [20:29:29] <elementz> i've just seen that the xbox360 in linux capable
  1018. [20:29:41] <elementz> in/is
  1019. [20:29:56] <muriani> 360 has a lot more power, but I don't know of any linuxes running on it..
  1020. [20:29:58] <elementz> but any cheaper alternative would be very welcome
  1021. [20:30:36] <muriani> I've run 720p h.264 on an intel Atom 330 machine, it *seemed* to play well

  1031. [20:34:48] <elementz> youre probably right
  1032. [20:35:16] <muriani> I plan to test the atom capabilities a bit more
  1033. [20:35:38] <muriani> this was also using XBMC under windows, I imagine the Linux variant might be a little smoother
  1034. [20:36:11] <elementz> probably
  1035. [20:36:45] <elementz> ok, so the xbox 360 is 240 EUR here right now. not too bad
  1036. [20:36:58] <muriani> but it seems a good solution for basic network video playback and such, fairly inexpensive and quite easy to set up

  1038. [20:37:13] <geckosenator> well the pico projector is really cool
  1039. [20:37:17] <muriani> yeah, but the hacking you have to do on the 360 though
  1040. [20:37:20] <elementz> yeah
  1041. [20:37:21] <geckosenator> I just wish it didnt' dissapate so much heat
  1042. [20:37:24] <muriani> and you have to get an older one, most likely
  1043. [20:37:36] <elementz> muriani: ebay
  1044. [20:37:42] <muriani> right
  1045. [20:38:23] <elementz> yeah, the pico is awesome. would be a great project to build a multitouch out of the bb and a pico
  1046. [20:39:09] <geckosenator> with a webcam?
  1047. [20:39:09] <_AV500_> 720p on the BB works for some MPEG4 content and then you have 0cpu left for sound or other stuff
  1048. [20:39:25] <_AV500_> so, to use it as a MC, cound on SD (unless you add the DSP)
  1049. [20:39:50] <elementz> sk
  1050. [20:39:52] <elementz> k
  1051. [20:39:59] <elementz> geckosenator: yeah
  1052. [20:40:15] <koen> geckosenator: you can tune down the power sent to the leds
  1053. [20:41:15] <geckosenator> yeah I'm trying to figure out how to do it
  1054. [20:41:19] <geckosenator> there is a program I need
  1055. [20:41:21] <geckosenator> I'm running debian
  1056. [20:41:39] <geckosenator> bluetooth keyboard, running mplayer and iceweasel surfing web
  1057. [20:41:41] <koen> angstrom has it installed by default in the demo
  1058. [20:41:43] <geckosenator> wifi working
  1059. [20:42:03] <geckosenator> I'm going to get angstrom again

  1062. [20:42:52] <elementz> has anybody tried gentoo on that box?

  1082. [21:10:54] <geckosenator> hah
  1083. [21:10:57] <geckosenator> sorry no
  1084. [21:10:58] <bobkatzz> geckosenator - do you know what linux distro family Angtrom belongs to?
  1085. [21:11:30] <geckosenator> bobkatzz: no
  1086. [21:11:34] <Crofton|work> Angstrom :)
  1087. [21:11:44] <geckosenator> he said angtrom
  1088. [21:11:46] <bobkatzz> othanks Crofton
  1089. [21:12:02] <geckosenator> well I'm not using angstrom
  1090. [21:12:21] <bobkatzz> so if I'm looking for programs then would Debian versions work?
  1091. [21:12:37] <geckosenator> well what are the debian versions?
  1092. [21:12:56] <geckosenator> I guess no one has ever attempted what I'm doing
  1093. [21:13:02] <DJWillis> bobkatzz: family or heritage ;-) - Debian version would work some of the times but what packages do you think your missing from Open Embedded/Angstrom.
  1094. [21:13:20] <bobkatzz> say I'm trying to set up hamlib, there are various versions for the falvors of linux
  1095. [21:13:30] <bobkatzz> flavors
  1096. [21:14:04] <geckosenator> I was using angstrom
  1097. [21:14:08] <bobkatzz> ok DJWillis - I need aptitude
  1098. [21:14:16] <geckosenator> but I got sick of having to download tarballs and build half the stuff from source
  1099. [21:14:20] <geckosenator> since there were no packages for it
  1100. [21:14:21] <bobkatzz> for apt-gets (will that work?)
  1101. [21:14:25] <bobkatzz> maybe sv
  1102. [21:14:36] <bobkatzz> and wget
  1103. [21:14:52] <geckosenator> plus my wifi doesn't work in angstrom
  1104. [21:15:10] <bobkatzz> none of those work and since I don't have "locate" I haven't found out if they are there but just not in the $PATH

  1107. [21:16:14] <DJWillis> bobkatzz: ipkg is the package manager for Angstrom and you could use that to install APT but it is of mixed use IMHO ;-)
  1108. [21:16:22] <geckosenator> is there a better url than http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/
  1109. [21:16:25] <geckosenator> for getting the images
  1110. [21:16:41] <geckosenator> can I install ipkg under debian?
  1111. [21:16:47] <bobkatzz> ipkg it is then tnx
  1112. [21:16:55] <bobkatzz> is that resident on Ang?
  1113. [21:17:16] <bobkatzz> I don't have any "man" db either
  1114. [21:17:25] <muriani> I think ipkg is on angstrom
  1115. [21:17:37] <bobkatzz> so at least my son can't say "read the man pages Dad" hehe
  1116. [21:17:42] <DJWillis> bobkatzz: it's there by default, try it ;-)
  1117. [21:17:43] <muriani> it's used similar to apt, I think
  1118. [21:17:54] <muriani> it's been awhile since I've used ipkg
  1119. [21:17:57] <bobkatzz> ok I can google the commands
  1120. [21:18:00] <DJWillis> geckosenator: under debian ARMEL why not just use APT?
  1121. [21:19:08] <bobkatzz> hey muriani - I'm talkin to you from THE DOG - yep the Beagel speaks - ethernet is up and running
  1122. [21:19:08] <muriani> if you're running debian, use apt. angstrom, use ipkg. You'll more likely get packages designed for your particular distros that way.
  1123. [21:19:15] <muriani> bobkatzz: sweet
  1124. [21:19:20] <geckosenator> DJWillis: because I don't have i2c controll
  1125. [21:19:31] <geckosenator> DJWillis: I want to talk to the pico
  1126. [21:19:35] <muriani> which usb ethernet adapter?
  1127. [21:19:44] <geckosenator> apparently it's only been done under angstrom
  1128. [21:19:52] <bobkatzz> the Trendnet from RadShack
  1129. [21:19:57] <muriani> really?
  1130. [21:19:59] <muriani> hm
  1131. [21:20:13] <bobkatzz> right outta the box - no drivers and Angstrom found it right away
  1132. [21:20:23] <bobkatzz> su-weet
  1133. [21:20:33] <muriani> hmm
  1134. [21:20:36] <muriani> there's a couple of models
  1135. [21:20:47] <muriani> the TU2-ET100 or the TU-ET100C?
  1136. [21:20:51] <bobkatzz> it's the TU2-ET200
  1137. [21:20:56] <bobkatzz> oops
  1138. [21:20:58] <bobkatzz> 100
  1139. [21:21:07] <muriani> ok, the *slightly* more expensive one then
  1140. [21:21:11] <muriani> $19, not too bad

  1148. [21:22:30] <muriani> well sweet then. bookmarking that
  1149. [21:23:45] <bobkatzz> jeez my sceen is like 320x400 res ouch (on a HD monitor) any way to change the settings? it said if it used alternaitve refresh setting it could damage my monitor - that's for old CRT's isn't it?
  1150. [21:24:11] <bobkatzz> screen
  1151. [21:24:35] <bobkatzz> but the tool wouldn't let me do it
  1152. [21:24:36] <DJWillis> geckosenator: is there a problem building the picodlp control for Debian from the source at http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/tree/recipes/i2c-tools/picodlp-control?
  1153. [21:25:06] <muriani> yeah, that's for old CRTs that'll do that
  1154. [21:25:14] <bobkatzz> well I'm just having a fine time anyway just getting out on the innynet :D
  1155. [21:25:28] <muriani> most modern LCDs will just throw you an error
  1156. [21:25:35] <bobkatzz> so how would I change the settings without the tool?

  1164. [21:26:59] <muriani> although, xorg may be running generally confless
  1165. [21:27:23] <geckosenator> I had to tell it to use fbdev

  1175. [21:32:23] <geckosenator> my keyboard can't type ctrl+alt+F1 heh
  1176. [21:32:29] <geckosenator> since function keys use another modifier
  1177. [21:32:34] * rcn-ee (i=404dd5f5@gateway/web/ajax/mibbit.com/x-c794203a5f5888e3) has joined #beagle
  1178. [21:32:34] <bobkatzz> i didn't edit it yet - don't know what to set
  1179. [21:32:35] <geckosenator> and it can't do more than 3 keys at a time
  1180. [21:32:51] <geckosenator> so I override the window manager shortcut to run "chvt -t 1" with alt+F1
  1181. [21:32:57] <geckosenator> bobkatzz: let me see
  1182. [21:33:27] <geckosenator> bobkatzz: do you have Option "UseFBDev" ?
  1183. [21:33:31] <bobkatzz> my arrow keys won't continuously back up hehe spastic
  1184. [21:33:36] <rcn-ee> geckosenator, still catching up in the back irc log, are you still trying to use pico control on debian?
  1185. [21:33:44] <bobkatzz> in the tool? no
  1186. [21:33:51] <geckosenator> bobkatzz: use ^p ^n
  1187. [21:33:58] <geckosenator> rcn-ee: I already am
  1188. [21:34:03] <geckosenator> rcn-ee: can't set brightness though
  1189. [21:34:03] <bobkatzz> ok
  1190. [21:34:08] <geckosenator> bobkatzz: in xorg.conf
  1191. [21:35:10] <bobkatzz> yeah i looked in there but didn't know what to change
  1192. [21:35:25] <geckosenator> bobkatzz: do you have the like "option "UseFBDev"" ?
  1193. [21:36:15] <rcn-ee> geckosenator: brightness should be "picodlp-control ledc 0 0 hex(rled) hex(gled) hex(bled)" Assuming you dloaded the picodlp-control script from Angstrom
  1194. [21:36:22] <bobkatzz> i'll look . . .
  1195. [21:36:58] <geckosenator> rcn-ee: the script is in the openembedded git?
  1196. [21:37:06] <bobkatzz> Section "Device" Identifier "Builtin Default fbdev Device 0" Driver "omapfb" EndSection
  1197. [21:37:16] <geckosenator> oh, well I used Driver "fbdev"
  1198. [21:37:17] <geckosenator> and it works
  1199. [21:37:20] <geckosenator> but it might be slower
  1200. [21:37:35] <bobkatzz> where would I set that?
  1201. [21:37:46] <geckosenator> bobkatzz: change omapfb to fbdev
  1202. [21:37:57] <geckosenator> it's annoying since I can see the script in cgit
  1203. [21:38:05] <bobkatzz> ok (I backed up xorg.conf just in case, hehe)

  1208. [21:38:48] <maxired> hi everybody
  1209. [21:39:03] <rcn-ee> geckosenator, bu2-i2c builds fine in debian. (that's how i did it for that 3rd pico video running ubuntu)
  1210. [21:39:13] <geckosenator> where did you get the source to build it?
  1211. [21:39:42] <rcn-ee> just copied from oe git to my svn repo, let me tar up the source and give you a link...
  1212. [21:39:47] <DJWillis> geckosenator: give me your email and I will mail you the source from my local GIT checkout.
  1213. [21:39:49] <geckosenator> I want to get it from git, but not sure how to clone partal path
  1214. [21:40:00] <DJWillis> geckosenator: got a mail ready to send ;-)
  1215. [21:40:03] <geckosenator> since I don't have enough harddrive space on either beagle or laptop to clone openembedded
  1216. [21:40:11] <maxired> I'm a trying to get javafx running on beagle board. I didn't find anything on the net. did anybody manage that ?
  1217. [21:40:13] <geckosenator> DJWillis: /msg DJWillis geckosenator@gmail.com
  1218. [21:40:18] <geckosenator> er oops
  1219. [21:40:19] <geckosenator> heh
  1220. [21:40:26] <DJWillis> oh well, close enough ;-)
  1221. [21:40:34] <geckosenator> yeah, and thaks
  1222. [21:40:47] <geckosenator> I wonder what would be involved making a debian package
  1223. [21:40:47] <DJWillis> sent
  1224. [21:40:52] <bobkatzz> do I have to reboot for that to work then?
  1225. [21:40:57] <geckosenator> bobkatzz: no
  1226. [21:41:09] <geckosenator> someone could host all the beagle specific packages
  1227. [21:41:19] <DJWillis> geckosenator: not a lot at all, it's a really simple little app that just needs i2c-tools under the hood.
  1228. [21:41:22] <geckosenator> DJWillis: ok I got it
  1229. [21:41:30] <bobkatzz> I have my own server and would be happy to host anyhting
  1230. [21:41:33] <bobkatzz> anything
  1231. [21:41:49] <bobkatzz> it's at goDaddy - dedicated
  1232. [21:41:54] <rcn-ee> geckosenator: most is here http://rcn-ee.homeip.net:81/dl/omap/picocontrol/
  1233. [21:42:02] <maxired> i actually got javafx and javafxc on my board, but the execution of any javafx programme crash
  1234. [21:42:10] <bobkatzz> Fedora core 10 I think
  1235. [21:42:42] <rcn-ee> copy it all, then just run the build-*.sh script.. for a quick run...
  1236. [21:43:20] <bobkatzz> so geckosenator then how does the screen setting change take place ?
  1237. [21:43:25] <geckosenator> thanks
  1238. [21:43:30] <geckosenator> bobkatzz: when you restart X
  1239. [21:43:53] <bobkatzz> hmmm - it's been a while since I did that (eek!)
  1240. [21:44:03] <geckosenator> ice weasel is kind of slow.. but I have RevB with only 128m ram
  1241. [21:44:10] <bobkatzz> I'm ashamed

  1250. [21:49:42] <maxired> so, nobody got on his beagleboard ? to bad :s
  1251. [21:49:46] <geckosenator> it's hard to read the picky
  1252. [21:50:44] <bobkatzz> hmm - didn't do anything ??
  1253. [21:51:47] <geckosenator> what is the problem again?
  1254. [21:53:15] <geckosenator> ooh it works!
  1255. [21:53:23] <geckosenator> rcn-ee: DJWillis: thanks
  1256. [21:53:30] <geckosenator> made bus3-i2c sticky..
  1257. [21:53:51] <bobkatzz> hmm ok ctrl+alt+backspace = 0 and c+a+left arrow takes me to another window hehe
  1258. [21:54:27] <bobkatzz> c+a+delete asked me if I wanted to log off
  1259. [21:54:27] <rcn-ee> geckosenator, good to hear, if you want to play around with python, that unreleased gui is in that directory too..
  1260. [21:56:22] <geckosenator> actually
  1261. [21:56:32] <DJWillis> geckosenator: glad it's working, the pico is a cool little device.
  1262. [21:56:33] <geckosenator> how do I set the leds to different values
  1263. [21:56:51] <geckosenator> ./picodlp-control rled 1
  1264. [21:56:52] <geckosenator> that works
  1265. [21:56:59] <geckosenator> but how to set to 50%
  1266. [21:58:19] <rcn-ee> geckosenator, it isn't documented at all (quick hack) but use ledc (led current)
  1267. [21:58:26] <geckosenator> oh
  1268. [21:58:35] <geckosenator> for all 3?
  1269. [21:58:43] <rcn-ee> yeah, all 3 at once: picodlp-control ledc 0 0 hex(rled) hex(gled) hex(bled)
  1270. [21:58:54] <rcn-ee> 0xEC is default according to my notes..
  1271. [21:59:39] <geckosenator> also my python was in /usr/bin not /bin
  1272. [22:00:48] <geckosenator> oh
  1273. [22:00:49] <rcn-ee> that might have been ubuntu's method, haven't worked on the script since mid january.. it was just for the 3rd video,
  1274. [22:00:54] <geckosenator> the rled just turns it on and off
  1275. [22:01:27] <rcn-ee> correct: rled, bled, gled are 0/1 for on and off
  1276. [22:01:30] <geckosenator> I'm installing pythontk

  1283. [22:04:00] <geckosenator> I got pythontk installed
  1284. [22:04:08] <geckosenator> then subprocess.py isn't found
  1285. [22:04:11] <geckosenator> socket-a?
  1286. [22:04:19] <geckosenator> is it better to keep the pico cool?
  1287. [22:04:59] <rcn-ee> they mostly kept it steady, so i wouldn't bump it after finally getting it focused...
  1288. [22:05:20] <geckosenator> well my wall is bumpy
  1289. [22:05:25] <geckosenator> so it isn't focused very well
  1290. [22:05:27] <geckosenator> but I can read it
  1291. [22:05:53] <rcn-ee> that focus knob can be very touchy..

  1296. [22:08:44] <geckosenator> I didn't have the picocontrol program in my path
  1297. [22:08:48] <geckosenator> it works now
  1298. [22:10:13] <geckosenator> I wonder how much power it actually saves
