02:30 AM rue_mohr: I'm able to stand on the bucket, its a bit mushy, but I regard it a pass
02:30 AM rue_mohr: (without anything breaking)
02:30 AM rue_mohr: I will need to make a boost system for the actuators, their pretty slow
02:30 AM rue_mohr: will have to work on the truck stuff tomorrow

05:51 AM polprog: the dmm is a little out of whack
05:51 AM polprog: i think the current source in it needs adjust
05:51 AM polprog: the voltage ranges and ohms are fine
05:51 AM polprog: diode test shows 2.6 when open, it should show OL
05:52 AM polprog: and the 20Mohm range is totally wrong
05:52 AM polprog: the ergonomics are nice
05:54 AM rifraf: looks as graceful as the tune i am working on this moment
05:57 AM rifraf: whats it look like iluminated?
06:03 AM polprog: i dont have anything that can power it
06:03 AM polprog: it needs 1kW at 1A, so a 1000V power supply
06:04 AM polprog: first time i see a mercury arc lamp irl
06:04 AM polprog: and its so tiny
06:10 AM rifraf: hrm, i have a few microwave transformers that could do that i think

07:49 PM aandrew: rifraf: I didn't really look at it that closely from an artistic side, but I did like the overall look of it. It's clean and an easy read/easy on the eyes
