08:35 <Guest7> Hi

08:37 <Guest7> can we use this BeaglePlay board for robot programing, if yes then can we install ROS in this?

09:47 <outrageous> "BeagleBoard.org announces BeaglePlay, the fun industrial computer" ...for some reason the "-Play" and "fun industrial computer" put me off it right away.

12:43 <Guest6877> I am interested in using the BeagleBone for a project I am working on, and I was wondering if you could help me with these questions. Is there an HDMI port on the BeagleBone that allows me to connect it to a monitor or TV? Also, I was wondering if it is possible to connect a CCTV camera to the BeagleBone so that I can use it for coding purposes. If

12:43 <Guest6877> you have any experience or knowledge in this area, I would greatly appreciate your insight.

12:58 <Stat_headcrabed> Yes, most beaglebone board has HDMI port

12:59 <Stat_headcrabed> For camera, only USB and CSI port supported

12:59 <Stat_headcrabed> And CSI isn't available for every board

13:00 <Stat_headcrabed> AI-64 and new Beagleplay supports CSI

13:01 <Stat_headcrabed> AI-64 doesn't have HDMI but has a mini DP port and could be converted to DP/HDMI

13:13 <Guest6877> I was wondering if it is possible to connect a CCTV camera directly to the BeagleBone without using local network so that I can use it for coding purposes?

13:34 <Stat_headcrabed> I don't know what port your camera is using...

13:38 <zmatt> outrageous: it's indeed an interesting naming choice

13:39 <zmatt> Guest6877: you should be more specific which BeagleBone you're talking about

13:40 <zmatt> Guest6877: for the BeagleBone Black your only options would be network and usb. either way keep in mind that the BBB may not be the best platform for video processing, but I guess it depends on what you intend to do

14:53 <av500> also, what is google?

16:03 <Alaa> Hi I am Alaa, I want to be part of your community and contribute to GSoC 2023

16:04 <Alaa> could you please guide me

20:34 <jkridner> alan_o: hop onto http://bbb.io/gsocchat as that has more mentors.

20:34 <jkridner> er, alaa

20:34 <jkridner> oh, he hopped out. not patient enough for open source development.

20:34 <jkridner> av500: whoa, haven't seen you in these parts for a while.

20:38 <jkridner> zmatt outrageous: don't know if I can defend the name. just wanted to emphasize it is focused on making sensors easy.

20:39 <jkridner> trying to introduce mikrobus as an actual "bus" in Linux, with self-identification through 1-wire manifests.

22:24 <outrageous> jkridner: The fun part may work well for drawing in a less experienced crowd, which would be all good. I suppose I mostly found the naming of it kind of odd...sounded slightly like "industrial equipment for children" :)
