|---|---|---|
| ibeardslee | Aunt in Connecticut, sent it yesterday | 01:55 |
| ibeardslee | reckoned she was told it'd be 6 days | 01:55 |
| ibeardslee | I've seen some of your tweets about your's | 01:56 |
| * ibeardslee is slightly jealous | 01:56 | |
| ibeardslee | hads: any tips/tricks to getting an arduino working nicely with natty? | 01:56 |
| ibeardslee | ls -l /dev/ttyU* | 03:18 |
| ibeardslee | gah | 03:19 |
| ibeardslee | yay .. managed to sort it .. had to reset the firmware .. but the distructions all pointed to an earlier board than I have | 04:18 |
| ibeardslee | the Uno R2 required different things to be done to do the reset | 04:18 |
| olly | morning | 20:00 |
| * olly takes advantage of jetlag and unmetered overnight bandwidth to upgrade to natty | 20:00 | |
| ibeardslee | morning | 20:35 |
| ajmitch | morning | 20:52 |
| snail | moring all | 21:18 |

| olly | hmm, upgrading seems to assume you have a reliable net connection | 21:36 |
| olly | if anything fails, it bails out and you have to restart | 21:36 |
| olly | seems to keep downloaded packages, but redownload the upgrade tool | 21:36 |
| ajmitch | that sounds painful | 21:37 |
| * ajmitch cheated & did it manually | 21:37 | |
| olly | hmm | 21:38 |
| * olly asumed the tool actualy did something useful | 21:38 | |
| ajmitch | it does | 21:39 |
| olly | like working around stuff | 21:39 |
| ajmitch | there are a bunch of workarounds | 21:39 |
| ajmitch | I just like the manual control of selecting packages to upgrade & seeing what would be removed | 21:40 |
| hads | ibeardslee: Sorry busy doing mothers day stuff. | 21:45 |
| hads | I've been informed there is a potential issue with the Arduino Uno's USB code and Linux. | 21:45 |
| hads | Sounds like you found a workaround? If not let me know and I'll see what I can sort out for you. | 21:45 |
| snail | nice, so i call $slimy-vendor and he says 'that's not our hardware, that's $other-brand and it's serviced out of Australia' | 21:46 |
| ibeardslee | hads: got it working, pushed the blink sketch to it | 21:47 |
| hads | Was it something to do with the serial output from the arduino and the optiboot firmware? Or something else. | 21:47 |
| ibeardslee | ended up pushing the firmware that came with the ubuntu install of arduino to it | 21:48 |
| hads | Okay cool | 21:48 |
| ibeardslee | the tx light was on all the time, which seems to imply that the serial stuff was borked | 21:48 |
| hads | Apparantly if you use Serial.prin/win 5 | 21:48 |
| hads | D'oh | 21:49 |
| ibeardslee | the tricky bit was the R2 board that I had, had a slightly different layout with some extra header pins | 21:49 |
| ibeardslee | than the what everyone else was describing for the hardware reset | 21:49 |
| hads | Oh | 21:50 |
| ibeardslee | http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php?topic=60166.0 | 21:50 |
| hads | Very interesting, I hadn't noticed that yet. Thanks for the link | 21:53 |
| thumper | morning fellow kiwis | 22:47 |
| ajmitch | morning thumper & welcome back to the land of sunshine & warmth :) | 22:49 |
| thumper | sunshine, yes, warmth, not so much | 22:49 |
| thumper | I'm waiting for my coffee to be made | 22:49 |
| thumper | not had a decent one for 10 days | 22:49 |
| ajmitch | how was the DX sprint? | 22:50 |
| thumper | good | 23:04 |
| thumper | sorry, looked away :) | 23:05 |
| thumper | it was great to meet the rest of the team | 23:05 |
| thumper | lots of talking and hacking | 23:05 |
| thumper | and a little drinking | 23:05 |
| thumper | almost surprisingly little | 23:05 |
| ajmitch | that'll probably be a bit different at UDS this week | 23:08 |
| thumper | yeah | 23:16 |
