[beagleboard] Looking for Fritzing drawing for BeagleBone Blue

Has anyone created a Fritzing drawing for the Blue? I'm planning on using the Blue in my class this fall and it's time to start writing the instructions. --Mark -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

[beagleboard] Adafruit Python library for BeagleBone Blue, naming conventions

2017-07-27 Thread Mark A. Yoder
Is anyone updating the Adafruit Python library[1] for the Blue? [2] doesn't appear to have any definitions for the Blue's connectors. For example, *GPIO1_17* appears on the Black at *P9_23*. On the Blue it appears on pin 4 for the *GP0* header[3].

I think you need to assume that pretty much anything can happen while the board is booting or crashing, and inhibit all servo activities unless you know the BBB is in positive control. Depending on how "large" your fixed-wing is, it probably would not be a bad idea to put some kind of

What version of Debian are you running. On Debian 8, what was in the docs as I2C-1 is now I2C-2. Hook your translator to pins P9-19 and P9-20 and run "i2cdetect -y -r 2" I2C-2 is enabled in the device tree by default. --- Graham == -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss

William, Also to save you from future grief. Make sure you load the proper drivers for your hardware,then if you're going to write your own software to read from the RTC. Use /dev/rtcx( probably /dev/rtc1 ), and do not try to read directly from the RTC over I2C. Trust me . . . On Thu, Jul 27,

Actually what is happening is this: when I remove the power from the BBB, the date and time return to the default setting. Because the RTC is automatically associated with system time auto-tuning, then its time is also being changed incorrectly (I had not noticed this in reboot because it is
