[00:14:23] <Quantumcross> WOOHOO
[00:14:56] <Quantumcross> just transferred my project to a tiny protoboard and crammed it in my controller
[00:15:01] <Quantumcross> and it works flawlessly!
[00:15:17] <Quantumcross> well I flipped 2 buttons but no big deal, didn't feel like flashing the firmware

[00:22:07] <Quantumcross> thanks again for all the help #avr :)

[08:04:03] <^Richard> i don't suppose anyone's gotten the JTAG interface working on an ATmega2560? i've got an implementation here that's failing to read the device ID correctly (returns 0x3F3F3F) and i'm stumped as to what i've missed.. (custom PCB, SPI/debugwire programming working fine, JTAGEN/OCDEN enabled, JTAGICE3 with atmel studio v7, 5V external power to MCU)
[08:49:08] <twnqx> 3f3f3f3 sounds interestingly broken :P
[09:11:45] <cyphos> Hi all
[09:14:35] <cyphos> I am trying to build xboot using Atmel studio. I made a new project and more or less imported the source files. (I tried xboot's makefiles first, but even though the whole thing builds just fine on my linux box, the win32 port of make and gcc give instant trouble.) First thing I run in to, xboot has one assembly file. How do I run this trough the gcc assembler instead of the compiler?
[11:47:56] <hetii> hmm
[11:48:55] <hetii> I cannot set proper timming for AC dimmer, I use just int0 to get raising edge os sine
[11:49:07] <hetii> but the rest need to be done in main loop
[11:49:37] <hetii> my avr works on 12Mhz
[11:55:16] <hetii> This give me very interesting efect http://pastebin.ca/3234820
[11:55:49] <hetii> lamp start from around 70% of his power and slowly lower till off
[14:21:50] <Quantumc1> Hey, not an AVR question but general electronics
[14:22:09] <Quantumc1> I'm trying to deal with this wiring
[14:22:27] <Quantumc1> under the insulation there are a few copper conductors that seem to be twisted around plastic fibers
[14:24:28] <Quantumc1> it's impossible to solder and once I do it's super brittle and just breaks so easily
[14:24:43] <Quantumc1> at the very least, does anyone know what it's called so I can look it up?
[14:58:12] <aandrew> it sounds like really shitty wiring, is it from a set of headphones by any chance?
[15:03:51] <Quantumc1> no a PS2 controller
[15:03:54] <Quantumc1> it's super shitty
[15:04:15] <Quantumc1> I want to use the original wiring so that I can use the original strain relief mechanism
[15:05:00] <Quantumc1> I've done something really goofy, it might hold better
[15:05:46] <Quantumc1> crammed the wire, plastic insulation and all into a used crimp, put loads of solder in there enough to melt the plastic insulation and I have a nice pointy metal tip to connect with. it's a goopy mess but it might be crazy enough to work
[15:08:34] <ferdna> how do you convert 4000 in-oz to... like weight...
[15:15:38] <Quantumc1> oz is weight?
[15:15:50] <Quantumc1> unless you're talking about fluid ounces
[15:28:10] <ferdna> Quantumc1, yes. but i would like to know how much weight it can move...
[15:30:11] <Quantumc1> oh, inch-ounces
[15:38:13] <ferdna> yup
[15:57:40] <aandrew> 4000 in-oz sounds like a measure of torque, not weight
[15:59:47] <inkjetunito> indeed
[16:00:31] <ferdna> yes.
[16:06:46] <inkjetunito> well, one would start out by figuring out which ounce it is, then moving on to the inch, whose size depends on which feet/yard is being used
[16:07:45] <inkjetunito> or calculate with all possible definitions of them and use the extremes
