Debian 11 Updates and Porting/Working with librobotcontrol

[silver2row]

Describe the bug
The install is not available with dpkg nor can I get the install completed with the correct rc_test_drivers command.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. git clone https://github.com/beagleboard/librobotcontrol
2. cd librobotcontrol
3. make
4. sudo make install
5. rc_test_drivers

Expected behavior
I expected the drivers to be available and for my drivers for GPIO, PWM, UART, and SPI to pass.

** Additional Info. **
I have also been trying to repair rcpy and pycntrl to no avail. Anyway, I will stick w/ librobotcontrol as I know it has worked in the past. If anyone needs help updating old scripts or making current GCC-10 ideas available, please direct me.

Here is the current working errors I received: Although they are just warnings, I see them as errors that can be fixed in time: https://pastebin.com/raw/U2vz4224 . That is my account on Pastebin. I use it when the file is too large.

Also,

This may seem silly but here goes it. On the OrangeRX R820X V2, there are a few JST-ZH ports with three-pin assignments. There are eight "channels" on it also. So, there are a row of eight w/ three pins each as columns.

Anyway, I have come to a conclusion that I cannot access the receiver from and to the BBBlue. Is anyone using the librobotcontrol any longer w/ the BBBlue? I am basically looking for handouts here b/c I feel like one wrong turn and I could ruin the BBBlue.

P.S. I cannot find the V2 "datasheet" any longer. But! I found a V3 versioning of the OrangeRX "datasheet". I have quoted the datasheet wording b/c of the lack of data in their sheets. If you are using the BBBlue w/ librobotcontrol and a DSM (UART) connection, please do let me know about what connections to make on the BBBlue to/from the receiver for DSM and PRU.

I am using BBBlue with librototcontrol, but have issues... encoder 4 make trouble and no solution is present

@unl0ck :

Hello...I think in the .dts file, the PRUs are used to handle the encoder on connector four.

Seth

P.S. You can find it in the BBBlue .dts file called am335x-boneblue.dts.

I am using it, but its still show 0 -1 1 not more do you want to see a special line @DanielCasner
