[01:53:27] <Xark> rue_shop3: Yeah, BASIC Stamp didn't really cut it. :)
[04:33:28] <dunz0r> So I've been pondering designing a new controller for my IBM Model M... but I don't really feel like using something with a gazillion pins, could an SPI-controlled multiplexer be fast enough to control the columns?
[04:43:29] <Xark> dunz0r: For a keyboard, I would sure think so (unless you have amazing WPM).
[04:44:04] <dunz0r> Xark: I think so too... An SPI-thingie should be able to handle ~1kHz right?
[04:44:45] <Xark> dunz0r: Yeah. Slow SPI is like 8Mbps.
[04:44:58] <dunz0r> Lol, I won't have any problem then it seems :)
[04:54:07] <hmw1> I am looking for a copy'n'paste-able version of this opcode summary:
http://homepages.engineering.auckland.ac.nz/~coghill/COMPSYS302/Mega8DataSheets.pdf - Do you perhaps know of an ASCII or HTML version? The table gets distorted, when I try to paste it. I want to create my own Assembler.
[04:54:57] <hmw1> It doesn't necessarily have to be Mega8, though. An overall listing for all AVRs would be fine, too.
[17:06:51] <FoxGT> Where's a good place to buy a cheap programmer?
[17:48:02] <I440r> maybe adafruit.com not sure
[17:51:33] <learath> do you want "china cheap"? ebay.
[18:12:49] <Tom_itx> FoxGT, me :D
[18:13:49] <Tom_itx> FoxGT, tried to reply the other day but you were gone
[18:22:52] <antto> uber cheap => ebay (from china) aaaaand then don't chase me when it stops working ;P~
[18:27:09] <learath> or catches fire
[20:20:03] <rue_more> $2.50 if you write your own software to a... wait... woudl that work?
[20:35:49] <rue_house> ok I need to make a realtime jig for operating the arms
[22:59:53] <rue_shop3> dunz0r, carefull, I took one apart to realize it used capacitive paddles
