[00:56:40] <vsync> i don't get it
[00:57:01] <vsync> why the fuck would you want to solder that nolead package to a breadboard when you can get a board made for $20 tops
[00:57:21] <vsync> it even defeats the purpose of prototyping
[01:01:04] <vsync> tor-sasl, shit just got real
[01:26:24] <anonnumberanon> man it turns out the sensor I thought I lost yesterday hasn't actually arrived yet, well it arrived today.
[01:26:36] <anonnumberanon> and it wasn't $40, but $5
[01:32:13] <hypermagic> http://reprap.org/wiki/Hot_plate_stirrer
[01:32:14] <hypermagic> mm nice
[01:32:20] <hypermagic> a heated magnetic stirrerr with avr
[01:48:18] <anton02> is it better to make your own quadcopter or buy a premade one?
[01:49:35] <hypermagic> if you can make a better
[01:49:50] <hypermagic> it will cost less that is sure
[01:52:19] * Xark notes cheap ones are pretty darn cheap -> http://www.banggood.com/buy/Quadcopter.html
[01:54:57] <anton02> yeah, i reckon buying all the parts separately could ending up costing a lot
[01:56:03] <anton02> i want one for the purpose of real estate photography
[01:56:38] <Xark> Another option is to get a "cheap" one and add some smarts.
[01:56:49] <anonnumberanon> Well do you know how to build electronics?
[01:57:46] <anton02> yes
[01:58:05] <anton02> I'm a mechatronic engineer
[02:13:15] <anonnumberanon> Sooo, what's the real question? Define better.
[02:48:57] <anton02> Do the premade ones cheap out on parts and use lower quality motors or something?
[03:13:53] <anonnumberanon> anton02, of course

[07:47:33] <Lambda-Aurigae> e-field distortion gesture sensing system on a chip.
[07:47:53] <Lambda-Aurigae> minority report interface anyone?
[09:03:26] <inflex> lo Tom_itx
[09:40:21] <Tom_itx> hey inflex
[09:51:26] <inflex> been a while, how's things going?
[09:51:34] <Tom_itx> meh,
[09:51:38] <Tom_itx> ok i guess
[09:52:03] <inflex> not great, would have thought by now you'd be out of the gutter.
[09:52:40] <Tom_itx> i'm not _in_ it but paddling hard
[09:53:41] <inflex> Sorry to hear that - hope it improves.
[11:25:59] <Tom_itx> Casper, what works on adware? i tried mbam and spybot...
[11:26:14] <Tom_itx> in FF
[11:55:20] <timemage> Tom_itx, been a while since i used it, but superantispyware. i wish they'd given it a better name, because it sounds exactly like the sort of thing a trojan woul be named.
[12:04:32] <Tom_itx> those other two usually take care of it...
[12:04:40] <Tom_itx> thanks i may try it
[12:48:46] <timemage> Tom_itx, it was part of my usual barrage along with mbam. sometimes avr rescue cd in handy. it doesn't really do anything for spyware, but it does for droppers that keep installing spyware.
[14:02:35] <kraiskil> Hi. Is anybody familiar enough with VUSB to tell me: can I run the usbPoll() from a timer ISR, and not just the main loop? It does seems to work, but all examples, tutorials, documentation etc. run it from the main().
[14:02:53] <kraiskil> i.e. - will it break at some point?
[14:08:48] <twnqx> read the USB standard on required reaction times
[14:11:00] <kraiskil> that's the reason I put usbPoll into an ISR in the first place...
[15:26:51] <Casper> Tom_itx: I use a few programs
[15:27:10] <Casper> Tom_itx: I guess you have a big infection?
[16:00:32] <Fleck> Tom_itx: try herdprotect
[16:03:41] <Fleck> had great success with it
[17:57:47] <hypermagic> hello my friends
