[beagleboard] Any library available for the BBB, to use MPU-6050 and ADXL335 ?

2014-01-18 Thread Karl Longen
Hi all I am learning how to use I2C, and I choose to use a gyro and an accelerometer sensor, for my project. The gyro is the MPU-6050, while the accelerometer is the ADXL335 I have the data sheet; but I don't see any code example that show how to get the data and process it. Is there a

I reran the flashing, but this time before disconnecting power I ran: dd if=/dev/mmcblk1 of=/dev/sda bs=1M to create a 1:1 copy of the files installed to eMMC on a 2G SD card. Again the boot rom eMMC fails, but if I add the SD card and boot from it - uboot and later the OS comes up all right...

Does anyone have a copy of angstrom-eglibc-i686-armv7a-vfp-neon-v2012.12-toolchain.gz they can put up somewhere? Since www.angstrom-distributiuon.org went down, it hasn't been available, and the Wayback Machine has a corrupted / truncated version of it which is missing the last 5MB. Thanks

[beagleboard] bitcoin mining on BBB

2014-01-18 Thread Michael Mullin
I'm sure you can tweak cgminer to re-enable CPU based mining... But that feature was removed for a reason; it's pointless. Even with a high end intel i7 processor, you're wasting your time, electricity, and the usage of the beaglebone. The bbb can be used as a controller for other hardware

Thanks Louis. When you say Debian Beta I assume that it the official one, not the BBB (from Robert C Nelson) right ? Well I have to try it myself btw. Le vendredi 17 janvier 2014 18:41:41 UTC+1, Louis McCarthy a écrit : @Bill Can you run 'uname -a' from a terminal and post the results here?

Hi Karl, I'm (quite) in the same approach as you do currently with a slightly difference coming that I learn Xenomai for this too -Thanks Charles btw- and use ADXL 335 and Invensense 9150. For ADXL 335 -it's analog not I2C right ?- you could 1st test it with the provided script :

Hello! I've been hacking around with the BBB for some time now, mostly doing bare metal programming. On other boards that I build projects with, I usually use one of my TFTs that I have laying around and use my custom graphical interface for the UI part. But the BBB is different. While I have

Much appreciated David! So the 9150 code can be used also for the 6050? I am not familiar with that sensor, but it sounds like it is the previous version of the 6150? The ADXL335 should be I2C compliant; at least that's what I was told, when I purchased it. The example that you posted is in

Thanks very much for the info. There seem to be a lot of RS-232 to TTL level converters around so this might not be such a big issue. I have the sabertooth on a separate power switch. So I assume that after I boot the beagleboard, switching on the power to the sabertooth will keep them
