Originally posted by me on May 21, 2017 So, this is a variation on using GPIO, via direct memory access. The benefit to using this code, or similar. Is that there is only two syscalls for each line / mux select. Versus 12 syscalls if using the standard “Linux way” using open(), write(), read(), and…

How to read an ADC
Originally posted by me on May 10, 2017 So this bit may seem a little odd to some. Hell I know the hardware, and wrote this really quick snippet as a demonstration, and I think it’s odd. The short story here. Is that we have a pin multiplexer on AIN6, and this multiplexer selects an…
Read from a DS18B20 temperature sensor
Originally posted by me on May 9, 2017 Again, very simple code to read from a device, and put that read information out to stdout. In this case, reading from a 1-wire DS18B20 sensor. The pin used is unimportant, so long as that pin is configurable as gpio, and is not already in use by…
Using the Maxim DS3232 on a Beaglebone black
Originally posted by me on May 9, 2017 So, this is partly for me, and partly for others who need a refresher, or just do not know how. But I will be making several post here over time on how to write very simply code, to do one thing, or another. These, used in conjunction with…
