info: integrate raven into #thethingsystem

[mrose17]

this looks pretty straight-forward. it's probably about an hour for me to add a module that does the work and then you can test it.

if you want me to proceed, please plug in the raven to a system with the steward software and run this:

    % cd steward/steward
    % node ../scripts/list-usb.js

and email me the output. the steward doesn't have to be running. list-usb.js just tells me the things that need to go into the fingerprint array. if you can run this both on linux and on the mac, that'd be great! if not, just run it on whatever machine you normally keep the usb stick plugged into… thanks!

ps: i sent a note to curtronics.com to see if they can add something to the aurora program to get it to talk to the steward...

I've currently got it plugged into a Beagle Bone. It's nearly 2am, so I'll check it later.

no worries, we also have a BBB image you can burn to a micro-SD if you wish, it's got node, the steward, etc… https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B27nSHVkupK9a0dCRTJwaUo2WHM&usp=sharing

Here is what I got from the mac:

device #2
{"comName":"/dev/cu.usbserial-00001004","manufacturer":"Rainforest","serialNumber":"","pnpId":"","locationId":"0x04100000","vendorId":"0x0403","productId":"0x8a28"}

thanks! just what i needed. if you have the opportunity to plug it into a BBB and run list-usb.js, we'll get a pnpId as well.

I don't have a BB Black, just the original BB. The BBB steward image will not work with the BB will it?

[mrose17]

probably not. you'd have to build it from scratch, which would be too much work. do you have an RPi? that would work too. if not, no worries...

[stormboy]

Yes, I've got a RPi. If its a matter of using a Linux system, I can get the Steward code on an Atom-based server nearby. Or does it have to be an ARM-based CPU?

[mrose17]

i suspect that it's really just using a linux system. i don't that the processor has anything to do with it...

thanks. just what i was hoping to see...
