Are you allowed to set them up in the internet-connected lab and then take them to the airgapped area ? On Sun, Jan 20, 2019 at 2:27 PM TW wrote: > I've never used BeagleBone's before and I work in a lab with no internet > connection, trying to get started with BeagleBone Blue boards for a >

If I understand Matt correctly, he doesn't want what Python USBTMC does. I believe that's a Python application (which might run on a BB) that accesses instruments having USBTMC interfaces. Matt wants to make the Beaglebone one of those instruments. He therefore needs to have the BB offer a USBTMC

The bbgw power / device micro usb port has the ID pin connected - i.e. it appears to be configured as OTG. Does this mean it's possible to use it as a host port ? I have tried to connect it but can't see USB devices on it, though I think I'm using an appropriate adapter cable. If it can be

I2C uses clock stretching but I'm not aware of any SPI interfaces that do it. However, it may be that the hardware is shared. On Sun, Feb 24, 2019 at 5:22 PM 'Bruce Snyder' via BeagleBoard < beagleboard@googlegroups.com> wrote: > It's probably for clock-stretching. Both pins clock and data

Thanks for that. I've done something similar for another Melexis device, the MLX90640 32x24 sensor. However, I've used a rather bizarre interface : an arduino that does the I2C operations remotely via the usual USB-serial interface. It also handles a couple of ST vl53l1x distance sensors. This

The shell prompt can be customised using the environment variable PS1. I would guess yours is set to show hostname but anything is possible. See http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Controlling-the-Prompt If you have another system that's showing a prompt that you prefer, you can

The charge balance connectors are typically JST PH connectors on a 0.1" pitch (though might be 2mm - it think that's JST XH). They bring out the two ends of the battery pack (the same as the high current connector) and every junction between cells. So the 2s charger on the BBBlue has 2+1 pins and

I'm powering a beaglebone (BBGW) through the header pins rather than the micro-USB connector. Is it possible to use the micro USB as a further host connector instead of a device ? Perhaps by providing independent power to the attached device, as I don't think the beaglebone's power controller is

You might not need to write any code. The parts of a linux system are sufficiently generic that you can often link them with existing utilities. There are a number of ways to connect a serial port to a network connection so that it can be used over ethernet. For example, read the answers here :

You could start somewhere like this : http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~moorthy/Courses/os98/Pgms/socket.html To be honest, I probably wouldn't do that. Assuming I will end up wanting to send other chunks of data as well, and each would need to be distinguished from the others, I would use some convenient
