Where can I download the osbo demo software?
I have a debian bbb; for personal taste I perfer Debian over Ubuntu so I am just wanting to build it up from scratch.
The OSBo source code is not published on Github yet. I should remind myself to create a repository as soon as possible. In the meantime, note that Dan’s interval program currently works on both OSPi and OSBo. You can follow the instructions here:
http://rayshobby.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Python_Interval_Program_for_OSPi
to install the program. It will automatically detect whether you have Pi or Bo.ah just what I was looking for thanks..
seems nothing special you done to the ubuntu image other than preload your test software and the interval/gcal programs?
Ive installed watchdog, ntpd, replaced apache w/lighttpd, added ‘rtc-ds1307’ to modules and added the following to rc.local
# Set Date from Internet and if fails load RTC
ntpdate -b -s -u utcnist.colorado.edu
if [ $? -ne 0 ];then
hwclock -s
echo Setting system time from RTC
else
hwclock -w
echo Writing internet time to RTC
fi
I just got the interval program installed and the mobile gui running in lighttpd so I am ready to roll come Tuesday when the mailman drops off my OSbo, awesome.. thanks, hopefully I wont even need the test tools.
I also made /tmp, /var/log, and /var/run tmpfs file systems to save some writes.

do I need to load a module or something for GPIO? How exactly does it detect a beagle? I was seeing errors in the interval program about some raspi program not found.
I got everything in today, wired it all up but I am not getting any switching… when I turn all stations on there is 0V AC between COM and any station.
26VAC going in from an Elk-TRG2440
I think the interval program that Dan wrote has code to detect BeagleBone. Can you paste here the error messages you encountered?
# python ospi.py
No GPIO module was loaded

Missing a Python Library; following these instructions now:

Yep that was it; working great now… 😀
