01:53 <zmatt> set_: thats gpsd3 library looks ancient, weird, and unmaintained

01:54 <zmatt> a quick search yielded a python library called "gpsdclient" you could try, e.g. something like: https://pastebin.com/aqY93520

01:56 <zmatt> (untested)

02:46 <set_> @zmatt: What exactly should SystemExit do in a try/except function?

02:46 <set_> I could not figure it out.

02:46 <set_> It just hung there and did nothing but waste my time.

03:31 <zmatt> set_: nothing, you shouldn't be catching a SystemExit exception at all

03:32 <zmatt> also, the try should be outside your main loop, not inside it

03:35 <zmatt> the make() function you showed would make it impossible to exit normally, ctrl-C would print "Done and now exiting" but it would in fact just continue to run

05:40 <Guest19> hi

05:41 <Guest19> i am using Beaglebone AI board

05:42 <Guest19> i need help in interfacing LCD

06:19 <Guest038> Hello

06:19 <Guest038> Hi

09:13 <Guest14> Hi Team, Where should i find drivers for beagle bone black revision c for windows OS?

09:45 <Guest36> where should I get drivers for my beagle bone black revision C for communicating with windows host?

09:53 <zmatt> Guest36: no drivers are needed

09:57 <zmatt> though I think if the BBB is running old firmware then it might not be recognized by Windows, but that would be fixed by reflashing the beaglebone

09:58 <zmatt> (microsoft has a tendency to periodically break things and require changes on the beaglebone side to get windows to understand again that it needs to use microsoft's own driver for microsoft's own RNDIS protocol)

14:06 <Doomyguy> Hello there!

14:09 <Doomyguy> Can someone please explain me how to configure device tree in Beaglebone Black? I'm using XFCE desktop that I installed in the eMMC

14:10 <Doomyguy> I want to use an XPT2046 resistive touchscreen via SPI, so I assume I've to configure the pins to do so

14:27 <Doomyguy> I know my question may sound stupid, but I'm really a newbie in regards to BBB and Linux

14:56 <Doomyguy95> I still here

14:56 <Doomyguy95> My username changed when I reconnected thou

15:07 <Doomyguy95> o.O

15:34 <Doomyguy95> ?

23:06 <set_> @zmatt: I am going to test that untried example you showed me w/ gpsdclient. I think I already have it installed.

23:07 <set_> Be back w/ juicy details!

23:16 <set_> https://pastebin.com/rFszfGnk is my error. Is this a permission issue?

23:18 <set_> Or...

23:18 <set_> It could be the gpsd from apt backend?

23:21 <set_> Just running ./gpsdclient gives a [Errno 111] Connection refused.

23:28 <set_> @zmatt: It is this one right? https://github.com/tfeldmann/gpsdclient ?

23:38 <set_> I exited the terminal.

23:38 <set_> It runs!

23:38 <set_> No output, though.

23:38 <set_> Something must be up. on to looking into it.
