[00:15:39] <ColdKeyboard> Guys I just released my project on github. I would greatlly appreciate if you could take a look and let me know what you think. Also if you can contribute to the project in any way, that would be awesome :)
[00:15:52] <ColdKeyboard> Here is the github link
https://github.com/coldkeyboard/USB-PAL-Tester
[00:19:48] <Casper> pal tester?
[00:19:51] <Casper> pal is dead
[00:36:38] <ColdKeyboard> Pal? :)
[00:43:13] <Casper> it's funny how some stuff can restrict where someone live...
[00:44:03] <Casper> when you think about it, people talk about stuff that happend near them all the time...
[02:38:07] <megal0maniac> beaky love avr
[03:03:17] <hypermagic> hi
[04:46:20] <aczid> hi, I'm trying to use an AVR in SPI slave mode to write some output to my host pc using SPI interrupts and sleep_cpu. I'm not using slave select so only connected 3 wires to the ISP header. everything works, but sometimes the first byte is corrupted. is this caused by missing SS? is there a workaround if I don't have a SS pin available?
[05:18:52] <Roklobsta> I was tooling through the iPads legal notices today and Joerg Wunsch's name flies by.
[05:21:42] <specing> what possesed you to go through ipads legal notices?
[05:22:27] <Roklobsta> i wanted to see how much free software had been ripped off to make that overpriced toy.
[05:22:45] <Roklobsta> it's a lot.
[05:22:49] <Roklobsta> i mean a lot.
[05:23:57] <Roklobsta> it's clear the IT world would be a lot less advanced and interesting without the open source model.
[07:17:22] <grey> xa0z: good thought, but no luck there either :(
[11:35:06] <xa0z> Anyone awake?
[13:46:37] <malinus> xa0z: no
[15:23:35] <monode> is there any generic implementation of tinyos for AVR? it seems it's only available for select commerical boards and MCUs
[16:11:13] <Casper> monode: usually if you want an os on an avr, you're doing it wrong
[16:11:32] <Casper> but there is some os on some avr, just I never checked which one was avail
[16:13:11] * twnqx wanted on once
[16:13:21] <twnqx> i even looked at the various RTOSes out there
[16:15:05] <Casper> my current concern is that I want 2 async uart on a tiny... that don't have any
[16:15:21] <Casper> so might forget the possibility to add a GPS on that project :D
[16:15:25] <twnqx> run a soft uart thread in your favourite RTOS
[16:16:17] <Casper> I'll stop to try to over do it...
[16:16:23] <Casper> seriously...
[16:16:32] <Casper> it's just some garden lights....
[16:16:51] <Casper> does it really require a GPS time? :D
[16:17:01] <twnqx> yes.
[16:17:22] <monode> it's not really an os, more of a misnomer, but the network stack is very neat
[16:41:50] <malinus> monode: one could say, if you want network on an avr, you are probably doing it wrong too :D
[16:46:00] <malinus> avr=8bit mcu in general
[18:34:05] <Casper> :D big chunk of schem done, now the fun part....
[18:34:12] <Casper> back to the datasheet! :'(
[18:36:00] <Lambda_Aurigae> apply electricity and see if the magic smoke appears!
[18:36:45] <Casper> ah.... wrong part in schem
[18:38:00] <Casper> woops back to drawing board :D
[18:38:47] <Casper> I tought I had a tiny84
[18:38:56] <Casper> finally it's the tiny85 that I have...
[18:39:09] <Casper> faaaarrrr from being the same device!
[19:17:31] <Casper> parametric table... here I come!
[19:22:11] <Casper> ... it is now useless :(
[19:41:49] <monode> malinus: that's really cherry picking :P
[19:42:40] <monode> i i want a bunch of moving wireless sensors to send data to a central point, you don't need some fancy json over http to do it
[19:43:21] <Casper> has anyone here done async uart on tiny85?
[19:43:28] <Casper> with no timer
[19:46:18] <monode> yeah, i set up a dcf77 filter once, the carrier fed the irq line, i counted to 77500 and divided by the baud rate
[19:46:33] <monode> worked pretty well when it was pointing in the right direction
[19:46:46] <monode> also a bit dependent on the moon
[20:01:36] <Casper> hmmm the tiny might finally work.... might...
[20:56:42] <vsync_> you totally need json javascript nodejs facebook and twitter to do so
[20:56:54] <vsync_> to send data from a bunch of moving sensors to a central point
[20:57:06] <vsync_> at least if you ask in freenode. the software "engineering" is real.
[20:57:20] <vsync_> oh, and mongodb. And all the other latest trends
[20:57:25] <vsync_> probably cloud too.
[21:43:38] <Casper> :D found how I'll send data on my project! yay!
[21:49:54] <learath> ?
[21:50:03] <learath> telepathy?
[21:54:40] <Casper> modified 1 wire
[21:54:49] <Casper> as in dallas 1-wire
