I think it will just be a binary value. If you want to print in decimal, do something like
printf("%d\n", value)
or
printf("0x%x\n", value)
for hex.

EPICS - Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/ is an interesting set of tools which is supported on RTEMS. (As well as VxWorks, linux, and windows) EPICS is used in lots of interesting places, and has a wide range of drivers and tools, from interfaces to st...

I didn't do much exploration of motion other than install it (sudo apt-get install motion) and run It uses video4linux, not sure if it uses openCV too FWIW, I got this from Amazon: 1 X TeckNet® C016 USB HD Webcam, 5 MegaPixel, 5G Lens, USB Microphone & 6 LED Sold by UNICHAIN £8.98 I found that i...

There are a few articles around about hacking digital bathroom scales: There seem to be several approaches, taking the analogue signal, or even decoding the signals driving the lcd. It might make some of the mechanical aspects easier... or not. There might be issues with being outdoors, for example,...

If you want to use the approach of having a webcam comparing images, I can recommend the 'motion' package. It's superb: I used it to find out which dog was coming into our garden and leaving ... stuff. It takes images at regular intervals, compares them, keeps the ones which show changes, and even m...

In principle, yes. Of course, you only need to drive the output when you are ready to read the input. You could do something like this pseudocode: int read_keys() { set_pin(7,1) set_pin(9,0) keybits = read_pins() << 3 set_pin(7,0) set_pin(9,1) keybits = keybits + read_pins() # Now keybits has a 6bit...

This looks like a simple multiplexed keyboard: It allows you to read lots of keys with only a few I/O lines The idea is that you set pins 7 and 9 as outputs, and the other pins as inputs. You drive each output high in turn, and read back the inputs for each one. So, say you drive pin 7 high: If you ...

Hi Your EnableInterrupt() and DisableInterrupt() look like mine now! I modified them slightly to return -1 for invalid nIRQ, and I didn't OR the bits into the enable/disable registers, just wrote them straight in, but otherwise the same. I think there is an issue on interrupts.c line 70 (in the gith...

Hi I thought I'd have a look at FreeRTOS. I managed to build it ok, though I had some issues with libc, but I hacked around those. I then looked at your question, and noticed: You call e.g. EnableInterrupt(49) but EnableInterrupt() in interrupts.c appears to do nothing for iIRQ<64. I guess the assig...

Hi I just tried this. Since you mentioned that you use Windows, and these are network files, I guessed that these are files on a cifs mount I found that I got EOVERFLOW for remote files (of any size), but local ones are ok (BTW, perror() gives a nicer error report, if you haven't come across it) The...

And if you use unsigned char for the buffer, and int for the x,y,z field strengths, you need to handle sign extension from 16 bit (2 bytes) to 32bits.
I left the buffer as signed char, then when the msb and lsb are combined, the sign is extended properly:

x = buf[0] << 8 | (buf[1] & 0xff);

Ok, I think I have something to report. I actually have one of these (real bargain!) but I was using python, so it took a while to get the C working The read()/write() interface for I2C doesn't work like you have it, see e.g. http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/i2c/dev-interface So I hacked...

timr

Just a guess... have you included <math.h> ?

timr

No, it's not a stupid question. I tried some synthesiser packages, but didn't have much luck. Also, many of them seemed to require X, and I don't want that. I was also concerned about whether the CPU is powerful enough to handle it (for chuck, it's not) so I wanted a solution with the lowest possibl...

timr

Update, in case anyone's interested I have given up on chuck, at least in the way I was using it before. Instead, I have some C code which will read note events and play pre-created samples through alsa. That seems ok, though there are some audio artifacts on the Pi which do not occur on my laptop. ...

Just a quick note to say that I am using the raspbian development image from http://www.raspbian.org/HexxehImages It's just what I needed. I'm using chuck from http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ for music synthesis http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=7503 . With the soft-float ima...

timr

I haven't tried anything more than the simple examples yet, and my final application will only require fairly simple patches. It will just be a limited number of oscillators triggered by OSC events, no filters or anything. I'm using alsa at present: I'm not very knowlegable on linux audio, so I don'...

timr

I grabbed the image from http://raspbian.com/HexxehImages and tried the same process. I was expecting problems (packages not available, whatever) but it ws just as easy as the standard image. The audio is good (I'm using my USB headphones, I'm not going to worry about the on-board audio for now), CP...

My Pi arrived this morning. I installed the debian6-19-04-2012 image. chuck installed easily: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install chuck but since I already had it running in qemu, I expected that. On-board sound I used the snd_bcm2835 module, and alsa_utils as described The audio quality from a...

timr

If it works well enough, chuck ( http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ ) will suit my needs. I have concerns about the fp performance, but I won't know until I get my real Pi. It runs under a qemu emulation with a debian image, but I get no sound. I'm not going to say whether that's a problem until I get t...

Or, depending on the relay and drive ca[ability of the GPIO pins, a transistor, resistor and diode may be sufficient. Though a ULN2004 gives you extra outputs, should you want them.
