#apertus IRC Channel Logs

hello !

morning folks!

max_bxl: try this one (unpack in / on the Beta)

i.e. copy it to e.g. /opt/ then run

as root

Bertl : I've tried this one sooner this month. Is it slightly different ?

my bad, I didn't the "modules" at the beginning of it !

you might need a 'depmod -va' to get the cache updated

now "depmod -va" ?

and plug in the wifi dongle to test

done :

the dongle doesn't work

(pastebin for everything longer than 3 lines)

modinfo: ERROR: Module ath9k_htc not found.

Linux beta 4.6.0-xilinx-00016-gb49271f #53 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jan 9 01:07:28 CET 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux

you are running the old kernel :)

please do the update we had last week, then repeat the update from today

kernel updated

did you reboot?

also check with 'uname -a' that the new kernel is active

green light on the dongle !

if needed : modinfo => https://quotidien.framapad.org/p/herbert-axiom-wifi-pastebin

excellent!

no error message but I still don't see the Beta ESSID

(unless you really specify the key and not a password :)

yep: I specified a key

shouldn't be required to get connected to an access point

enough for what?

you still need to bring up the interface and request an IP via dhcp in case the station provides dhcp

hum... sorry for the unprecise question : I'd like to make to access the Beta from a computer/smartphone over wifi, the Beta "providing" the network itself. I've done this with a Raspberry Pi and hostapd, hence the question.

what does 'iwconfig wlan0 mode station' give?

invalid argument "station".

Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :

so the dongle itself doesn't support station mode, it might work with hostapd, but I have never tried that, so you have to read some (Arch) docs

since I'm going to install stuff on the beta (hostapd, ...), could you remember me what would be the best solution to make more space on the beta ?

you can also get rid of the logs and journald entries if you like

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/pacman

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd

error: failed to init transaction (unable to lock database)

if you're sure a package manager is not already

well, is pacman already running?

done, and working

?

ok

\o/

have fun and cya!

happy pimping then!

cya n' thx !

IRC meeting in 10 minutes!!!

evening davidak!

evening davidak

I'll be your host today, because se6astian is working on a music video

good evening!

Hello all

hello

so please, anuditverma, begin

ok, I have updated the readme file of my project repository

If anyone wants to setup development environment and try the current implementation of the client app, though it's still in alpha stage, a lot needs to be done, with all the methods and REST implementation, I am targeting to cover most the work before the first evaluation i.e. by end of this month

sounds good

Champika: the channel is yours!

But I was not able to present in last meeting, because I was at medical center due to flu

https://wiki.apertus.org/index.php/Routing_Fabric

I also created a wiki page about the PIC code

Then, on last few days I was setting up a qemu to emulate the beta

Then hope to create a simple driver by end of this month.

Thats it from my side.

niculescu_vlad|a: the stage is yours!

So, in the last two weeks I finished the PCB and sent it to factory. They told me it was done on June 14 and now I'm waiting for it to come (hopefully this week)

the output voltage will be communicated to switcher via I2c. So the test procedure will be like: PC-UART-I2c master- I2c Slave

So by the end of this week I hope to have both I2C Slave and Master

that is all

anybody else who wants to report something?

we finished our 'Maker Faire' tour last week with the Maker Faire Berlin

now we are currently focusing on testing all the hardware we designed over the last few months (mostly plugins and extensions, but also some modifications)

that's basically it from my side as well, and if nobody else wants to report anything and there are no questions, then the only task left is to find a time and date for the next meeting

and I'm not sure if this 'fits' into reporting

what's the hidden trick to subscribe to your mailing lists? :)

silly as it sounds, I found that quite unfriendly :P

only the axiom-community list accepts subscriptions

there's a note "it works just fine with any other email address as well just requires a little trick to add that address to the group"

Will you send me a mail on rex at apertus dot org please my friend.

And I'll sort that when I wake up.

so for the next meeting, I would suggest Monday, the 3rd of July, 19:00 CEST

I'm fine with that time.

RexOrCine, davidak?

ah, yes

Ah yeah I'm always good with whatever.

se6astian will write up the meeting minutes (from the logs) later

Is he still getting his makeover?

anuditverma: your image says "recieved"

hmm, I'm not sure if "reflected" is the right word there, maybe "returned" would be preferable

probably

and which point needs to be on the same plane as the sensor

but maybe se6astian knows more

so you can just put it in this groove and measure but this part should be out of metal so the magnet works
