[beagleboard] PWM period

2014-04-21 Thread Dorian Levy
I want to use two servos with pins 8_13 and 8_19. How can I change the period? I tried editing the dts file and compiling with dtc -O dtb -o bone_pwm_P8_13-00A0.dtbo -b 0 -@ bone_pwm_P8_13-00A0.dts, but the period remains the same. Is there something else that need to be done? I not sure it

I tried the gpio-keys driver. I was able to count the interrupts, but was not able to determine which pin. I tried the following code, but when I hooked up switches to two pins the first switch I triggered would give the correct code, but when I triggered the second switch it would give the

on the output? I believe the best you can get out of that regulator without a big heatsink is maybe 500mA which is borderline for the BBB. You are dropping 6.7V across the regulator.

supply say 8V and it will run longer. The hole in the tab of the regulator is for the heat sink. Now, if the regulator is putting out 7V, then it could be the board. Gerald On Wed, Mar 5, 2014 at 1:02 PM, Dorian Levy dorianal...@gmail.com wrote: Because the IC can't provide the required

[beagleboard] GPIO Edge

2014-03-04 Thread Dorian Levy
If setting /sys/class/gpio/gpioxx/edge creates an interrupt in the /proc/interrupts file, why is there no event file associated with it? What is the best way to use a gpio pin to count the number of times a switch is toggled? I really need to do it on two separate pins in order to ensure two

I am building a robot that uses an 11.7V battery. I tried attaching a 5V regulator to the T5(+)/T8(-) (pins with the T6(SENSE) bridged to T5 and a 10K resistor between T8(TS) and ground. The board only stays on for about thirty seconds then shuts down. Is it because of the TS? What type of
