shenkiI've got an opsis that i'm going to lend out to a user group for recording their meetups02:17
shenkiwhere should I grab firmware from for it?02:17
shenkido we have a user guide I can point them to?02:17
mithroshenki: CarlFK[m] is the person you want to talk too02:28
CarlFK[m]Bee right there...02:30

CarlFKwhat are they going to use to save to disk?02:35
shenkiCarlFK: Whatever you tell them to :)02:35
shenkiI don't think they have any existing knowledge. I recommended they volunteer at PyCon AU to watch it in action02:36

CarlFKWhen do you plan on giving them the Opsis?  like 2 days, weeks, etc?02:40
shenkiIt's been sitting on my shelf for a few years, unused02:41
shenkiSo they are welcome to it for as long as they are using it02:41
shenki(I figure I'll follow up in about 6 months to check they are using it)02:41
CarlFKit would be good if I could get this page of docs in better shape: https://salsa.debian.org/carlfk-guest/ansible/blob/usb-reorg1/docs/usb.rst#quick-start02:47
tpbTitle: docs/usb.rst · usb-reorg1 · Carl Karsten / ansible · GitLab (at salsa.debian.org)02:47
CarlFKI think it is an improvement, but it was rejected for being too long.02:47
CarlFKwhich is valid, so I need to do something.02:48
CarlFKwhich takes time and other things have come up02:48
CarlFKyou feel like helping me re-work that again?02:49
*** futarisIRCcloud has joined #timvideos03:18
shenkiI am super overloaded at the moment. I'll see what I can do03:24
shenkiCan we use the four-pin 12V square connector of an ATX power supply on the 6-pin opsis 12V header?03:25
shenkiI forgot the power supply :(03:26
shenkiin theory you could, but the connectors are keyed such that the 4-pin connector will only fit in 'let the smoke out' orientation for the 6-pin header03:50
shenkithat's okay, I've got an expensive server sitting here with an atx power supply in it. i'll use that03:51
shenkiCarlFK: which USB cable do I plug in? the micro, or the printer cable?03:57
shenkiI didn't bring the printer cable. So I assume it's that one03:57
CarlFKprinter03:58
CarlFKthe opsis has a micro?03:58
CarlFKfor the usb-installer rework, grind though the process once of just building the usb stick - maybe verify a machine or vm will boot it.04:02
CarlFKthe first time should be minimal thought and futzing, and should be much less reading too.04:03
CarlFKthat's where we are stuck04:03
*** rohitksingh_work has joined #timvideos04:28
shenkiCarlFK: how do I make it show the test pattern on the usb port?06:56
CarlFKdo you have a term progam and an h2u> prompt?06:57
shenkiyeah06:57

CarlFK'good'06:59
CarlFKalso, most everything has 1 letter alias.  like s for status, and x c e p for matrix connect pattern encoder07:00
shenkihrm, i'm not seeing a webcam device attached07:01
CarlFKah!!!07:01
CarlFKI bet you just hit the "serial first kills uvc"  bug07:01
shenkinice. i love hitting bugs when doing demos07:01
CarlFKdisconnect the term, rmmod uvcvideo, un/plug the usb cable07:02
shenkiokay. i then modprobe'd uvcvideo, and no dice07:03

CarlFKhm, did you power cycle it?07:45
shenkiyeah07:45
shenkiperhaps not enough? i dind't unplug usb07:45
CarlFKthat' should be ok,07:45

shenkiah, I needed to do the mode switch to serial again07:50
shenkior does that disable the video device?07:50
CarlFKno07:50
shenkiCarlFK: any idea how I get it to show up as the 0x5442 device? is there a different fx2 firmware to load?07:52

mithroshenki: Sounds like you have incorrectly configured jumpers?16:17
CarlFKmithro: I thought about that, but he got a serial connection to it as is, then couldn't connect16:18
CarlFKmithro: the 'bad video' was probably because bad firmware ver16:18
