[beagleboard] Re: Universal Overlay, enabling a single pin

2015-03-19 Thread Dave Blomfield
Hi Ray,

This one worked for me, there are a couple of errors in the DTS code which 
are mentioned in the posts below the main instructions but other than that 
it works fine. I have 10 sensors working on the same pin returning 
temperature.

Cheers

 I have been trying to figure out how to get a single gpio pin to work with

 the device tree definitions in am335x-boneblack.dts and I get the idea that 
 I can comment different sections to get the specific sets of pins to work. 
  I have an old dts file, from 9 months ago or so, but I don't see how it 
 fits in with universal-io.

 It seems like I need a file xxx.dtsi, and they don't look like the dts 
 files.  How do I figure this out?

[beagleboard] Re: GPIO Digital input voltage more than 3.3V

2015-03-09 Thread Dave Blomfield
The Texas Instruments TBX0101 IC should do the trick. The BBB connects to 
port A and the speed sensor to Port B. Use the BBBs 3.3V supply to connect 
to VccA. Depending on the speed sensor supply I'd regulate that down to +5V 
to connect to the VccB pin (can only take up to 5.5V max).
Farnell do the IC part number 2335605. There's a good data sheet to 
accompany it as well.

Cheers

Dave

[beagleboard] Onewire DTS file

2015-03-02 Thread Dave Blomfield
Hi all,

Does anyone out there actually understand what the 

gpios = lt;amp;gpio2 13 0gt;; line does in the onewire DTS file. 
Somebody somewhere must have designed this function but I can find no 
reference to it anywhere. It seems that the general consensus is to take a 
similar dts file and modify it for what you want it to do.

I really want to have 4 x onewire lines active for a mass of temperature 
sensors but I've been unable to get it to work.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Cheers

Dave

Okay so that should read gpios = gpio2 13 0; was expecting html reactions

Hi Azar,

Did you ever get this working, am trying to do the same but with no success.

Cheers

 Hi,

 I am trying to interface 17 sensors with my bbb, 10 works great for any 
 pin... more 10 sensors are not supported so far as per my poor 
 understanding using single pin.

 I there any possible way to use more than one pin for Dallas 1wire. if 
 yes, what mods I would need to do to dts file. 

 I have played with my dts file in many possible ways to no success. It 
 just doesn't take second pin.


 Regards.

 Azar
