Feel free to update the wiki article. I wrote it originally but I switched my 
OctoPrint server to the RPi eventually because it's more common.  I moved my 
BBB back to more experimentation.

[beagleboard] Connect Through MiniUSB

2015-12-02 Thread WZ9V
I helped write those instructions.  Before you try to get the whole OctoPrint 
system going I'd get familiar with the plain BeagleBone first.  Start with the 
recommended image from BeagleBoard.org and connect to that and get familiar 
with it first.

Full disclosure, I switched over to a Raspberry Pi2 using the OctoPi image.  
Those instructions were for what is an old Wheezy image nowadays and may need 
some tweaking if used with a newer Wheezy or Jessie image.

[beagleboard] Re: Poor Java performance on new BBB

2015-10-19 Thread WZ9V
Wish I could help with that but I'm not that good with core Linux stuff.  I 
just noticed that your kernels and java versions with different and in my 
experience that could explain the performance difference.

Maybe someone more experienced could tell you how to backup the eMMC to a 
SD card.  If you could do that you could swap the whole core image from the 
fast BBB to the other to see if it fixes the problem (after backing up both 
images first).

Both your kernel and Java versions are different.  I would try running the 
same Kernel and Java version from the fast BBB on the slow BBB (or better 
yet the exact same OS image).

Re: [beagleboard] Driving LEDs

Thanks. Between you and Gerald I think I have it.  Don't worry, I'm using a 10K 
current limiter at 3.3V for now but yes I will start adding a driver 
transistor.  I was just wiring it the way the BoneScript example except that I 
only 10K resistors handy as opposed to the 470 the tutorial called for.  
Actually kinda surprised my LED lights at all since I reduced the current down 
to .33mA from the 7mA in the original circuit on BeagleBone.org

[beagleboard] Driving LEDs

2015-06-15 Thread WZ9V
Is there a reason a particular reason that the LED examples connect the current 
limiting resistor to GND and light the LED with a logic high state on the pin?

I'm more used to TTL open collector where the current limiter goes on VCC and 
you drive the pin low.  Are the GPIO pins on the BBB able to provide the same 
current in both states?  My digital logic knowledge is somewhat dated.
