Back [02:10:59]<DO9XE> N1njaneer, i tried it with the grounds connected, but dosn't work, either ;)
[10:53:10]<Tekkkz> Hey my friends! How are you going?
[10:54:15]<LeoNerd> Looking at APA102s :)
[10:54:27]<LeoNerd> I think I like the look of these.. moreso than WS2812s. Shame I just ordered a strip of those :/
[10:56:26]<Jartza> plop
[13:03:39]<Jartza>https://www.dropbox.com/s/ua67kvk1qjk46ct/1429114280.mp4 [13:03:47]<Jartza> Tagsu-modem-update works even over FM-radio ;)
[13:51:12]<malinus> Jartza: what am I looking at :)?
[13:51:25]<Jartza> malinus: tagsu has audio update.
[13:51:36]<Jartza> and I tested. it also works wirelessly over FM-radio :D
[13:51:52]<Jartza> using very cheap chinese fm-transmitter and very-very-extremely-cheap-chinese portable radio :D
[13:52:05]<malinus> Jartza: ah lol. Your sound-transfer-thing works over fm :P?
[13:52:09]<Jartza> yes
[13:52:13]<Jartza> 8kbit/s
[13:52:15]<Jartza> :D
[13:52:16]<malinus> that's pretty kewl
[13:52:33]<Jartza> I think it is
[13:53:35]<malinus> Jartza: you should try to make it flatter by having a thing li-po battery in the front?
[13:53:43]<malinus> (instead of the bulky AA)
[13:53:51]<Jartza> that's AAA
[13:54:00]<malinus> oh
[13:54:02]<malinus> haha
[13:54:04]<Jartza> and I'm using AAA because it's available everywhere
[13:54:10]<Jartza> and very cheap
[13:54:11]<malinus> True
[13:54:19]<Jartza> and Tagsu runs continuously >80 hours with one AAA
[13:54:21]<Jartza> :)
[13:54:31]<malinus> that's nice
[13:54:43]<Jartza> and the backlight is always on, yes. except when using blinking effect
[13:55:21]<malinus> I see
[14:02:25]<Jartza> actually it might run a bit longer if you don't remove the battery in between
[14:02:37]<Jartza> but that 80 hours is calculated to the limit where the battery has 0.7V left
[14:02:49]<Jartza> meaning, it still starts when you remove and put the battery back :)
[14:03:38]<Jartza> below 0.7V the power booster won't start
[14:19:30]<malinus> Jartza: power booster?
[14:35:25]<Jartza> malinus: the chip that makes 3.3V out of AAA battery
[14:35:45]<malinus> Jartza: right, I guess it's some boost circuit?
[14:35:52]<Jartza> or from anything that gives out 0.7-3.3V
[14:36:09]<Jartza> I use NCP1402
