[03:05:38] <OndraSter_> "How many people have heard about 'Bauds'?" ... and just me and some dude apparently. Out of 100-ish people. Oh the joys of CTU FIT!
[04:09:06] <specing> OndraSter_: WOW so bauds
[05:54:43] <zmo> hi!
[05:55:32] <braincracker> hi zmo
[05:56:27] <zmo> I'm running again into http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?41292
[05:56:33] <zmo> about avrdude crashing
[06:06:11] <zmo> ok, posted core dump and gdb/bt
[06:06:14] <zmo> now I gotta reboot
[06:06:19] <zmo> to have avrdude working again :-s
[06:13:23] <braincracker> avrdude crashing? what?
[06:13:27] <braincracker> never did that to me
[06:14:21] <braincracker> try new version
[06:14:57] <braincracker> avrdude version 5.11svn-20111019, URL: <http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/avrdude/>
[06:15:06] <braincracker> oh sorry, mine is older, but works well
[06:28:04] <blackhair> hi is there a irc link from avr beginners and avr freaks website to this channel?
[06:28:20] <blackhair> didn't find any despite searching :(
[06:30:42] <RikusW> it seems you found the channel anyway ?..
[06:34:32] <blackhair> heh .. you have a point
[06:35:16] <blackhair> riskusW: I am the founder of Scrollback.io an opensource irc web client.
[06:35:44] <blackhair> Wanted to reach out to your community to try it out on the avr website
[06:36:23] <blackhair> whom should I connect to for the same?
[06:37:02] <RikusW> try /msg alis help
[06:37:34] <megal0maniac_afk> o/
[06:37:41] <megal0maniac_afk> 'Lo RikusW :)
[06:37:42] <RikusW> hi megal0maniac_afk
[06:37:48] <RikusW> just saw you mail
[06:37:52] <RikusW> *your
[06:38:08] <megal0maniac_afk> I won't work on the arduino nano for some reason :/
[06:38:24] <RikusW> heh
[06:38:25] <RikusW> brb
[06:38:50] <megal0maniac_afk> I'll be here. Wonderfully exciting lecture :P
[06:40:40] <blackhair> riskusW : this is what I was talking about. demo: http://scrollback.io/pwn/avr/http://www.avrfreaks.net/
[06:41:31] <blackhair> Scrollback feel like a simple chat app which can also connect with IRC. And it is opensource and free :)
[06:43:53] <sb-othron> And now?
[06:44:06] <megal0maniac_afk> Eugh. I don't like it
[06:44:11] <blackhair> and now you are conneted to IRC
[06:44:21] <megal0maniac_afk> No longer :D
[06:44:30] <RikusW> I'm already connected, using pidgin
[06:44:40] <RikusW> been using it for years...
[06:44:44] <blackhair> @mega0maniac_afk: what didn't you like?
[06:45:42] <blackhair> RikusW: Scrollback is targetted towards more casual users who want to participate in the IRC chat but don't have a client installed for the same?
[06:45:51] <megal0maniac_afk> blackhair: Because I didn't do anything except for click on a link and I was in IRC. I could get used to it though :)
[06:45:59] <RikusW> there are already a web irc client on freenode.net
[06:46:05] <megal0maniac_afk> I'm using IRSSI on my server, and connecting using ssh
[06:46:15] <megal0maniac_afk> Encrypted, and it logs, and it's nice
[06:46:43] <w|zzy> hold up! we have a badass here
[06:47:02] <megal0maniac> \o/
[06:47:08] <blackhair> ok .. yes megal0maniac_afk: as I mentioned for less geeky audiance, scrollback is targetted to them
[06:47:19] <megal0maniac> blackhair: No, it is pretty nice
[06:48:20] <blackhair> thanks :)
[06:50:11] <blackhair> RikusW: unlike other IRC clients, Scrollback is designed for a website/ community. So a user on your website will be on the #avr channel. Also being able to check the archives, aquaints them of the conversation happening.. so they won't chat-bomb
[06:50:47] <RikusW> zlog
[06:51:08] <blackhair> chatbomb derived frm photobomb :P
[06:51:49] <blackhair> yes you are well equipped
[06:51:53] <blackhair> :)
[06:52:49] <megal0maniac> blackhair: what does the pwn in the address stand for?
[06:53:56] <blackhair> oh thats just a plugin we have built to demo websites. It helps us virtually overlay the chat on a replica of the website url
[06:54:59] <blackhair> makes it easy to showcase how scrollback would look on the website. otherwise I would be talking in thin air and no one would understand
[06:55:11] <RikusW> seems I misread that as p0wn :-P
[06:56:02] <megal0maniac> RikusW: I believe the meaning is the same. The website is "p0wnd" by scrollback
[06:56:22] <blackhair> RiskusW: Except for the fact that there are many other webirc clients, do you have any other concerns/feedback
[06:56:25] <megal0maniac> scrollback is a funny name. Like netsplit.de
[06:57:31] <blackhair> Scrollback is trying to make sense of the archives. (hence scrollback) we are trying to make the archives searchable and readable at a later point oftime.
[06:58:53] <RikusW> people that don't even know about irc might find it useful
[06:59:37] <RikusW> or that don't want to install a client
[07:00:02] <RikusW> the archive part will be quite useful
[07:00:18] <gjsrivastava> yes ... for a mix of both audience.
[07:00:35] <blackhair> gjsrivastava is me logged from the web interface ..
[07:00:46] <RikusW> in particular the searchable part
[07:00:52] <blackhair> https://scrollback.io/avr/ this is how scrollback chat will evolve in the future ..
[07:01:37] <RikusW> you can probably get all the old logs from Tom_itx
[07:01:49] <RikusW> but he is probably asleep by now
[07:02:24] <blackhair> ok .. that would be nice .. so any advice on how to get this on the avr websites?
[07:02:54] <RikusW> you'll have to ask their webmasters
[07:03:10] <megal0maniac> Well for avrfreaks, I know abcminiuser is a mod. He'll know who to ask
[07:03:18] <blackhair> do they frequent this channel?
[07:03:20] <blackhair> ok
[07:03:28] <RikusW> yes
[07:04:20] <blackhair> Can i reach him through email?
[07:05:03] <RikusW> not sure, he
[07:05:12] <RikusW> he does come around here from time to time
[07:05:27] <megal0maniac> blackhair: http://www.fourwalledcubicle.com/Contact.php
[07:06:07] <megal0maniac> Note: I'm only suggesting him because he's the only one I know of. Not necessarily the best person to contact, but he should at least be able to point you in the right direction
[07:07:08] <blackhair> thank you @megal0maniac. +1
[07:07:22] <megal0maniac> Whoo! I'm level 2 now
[07:07:53] <blackhair> :)
[10:21:22] <kasemodz> i'm making an arduino clone just as a hobby and I'm having issues with LUFA, is anyone available to help?
[10:27:35] <kasemodz> i've recompiled the bootloader for the caterina, using LUFA-111009. I've recompiled with a different VID/PID value and I'm using a different PID value for the sketch file. The problem happens when I upload a sketch file, the correct VID/PID values are reflected, however the name of the device is changed to a USB IO board on Mac/Linux. In windows, I've created a custom driver so that works.
[10:28:11] <kasemodz> How do the arduino guys or sparkfun guys have arduinos that reflect their respective names in Linux/Mac out of the box?
[11:00:38] <OndraSter> kasemodz, it is in one of the descriptors
[11:04:02] <kasemodz> OndraSter, are you referring to the descriptor in the caterina folder? Or the descriptor file in the LUFA?
[11:04:25] <megal0maniac_afk> OndraSter: http://i.imgur.com/UX3E8Jf.png
[11:06:51] <megal0maniac_afk> You can click on those :)
[11:07:07] <megal0maniac_afk> kasemodz: Search for the string, you will find it
[11:11:56] <megal0maniac_afk> OndraSter: Made the LCD say "hello" by clicking boxes. Granted, I didn't have to initialise, just clear and print character by character
[11:12:28] <kasemodz> megal10maniac_afk: thank you for your help, I've already looked at all the descriptor files. I've changed it already in the decriptors.c in the caterina makefile but i was unsure whether to change the descriptors files within the LUFA directory.
[12:25:40] <kasemodz> <megal0maniac_afk> just to give you a better description of the problem I'm facing, I've updated the descriptors file and recompiled, flashed the bootloader. When I upload just the bootloader everything is fine. It's when I upload the sketch file, the product string changes to "USB IO Board" and vendor id changes to "unknown." Here is someone else having a similar issue as I am having, https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?&t=37505#w
[19:50:42] <naquad> maybe a wrong q, but still: the higher ADC prescaler is the faster ADC works, right?
[20:11:20] <Casper> naquad: wrong
[20:11:37] <Casper> speed = F_CPU / prescaller
[20:11:59] <naquad> Casper, oh, so its vice versa: the higher prescaler is the slower ADC works
[20:12:13] <Casper> yeah
[20:12:34] <naquad> k, thanks
