[00:05:40] <Mr_Sheesh> Casper IDK why you'd want to put a window in the foundation; I usually put them in walls?
[00:06:04] <Casper> yes, foundation wall
[00:06:39] <Casper> current ones are too small, one the frame is completly rotten
[00:06:55] <Mr_Sheesh> Aaah. Saw a channel in there for a frame?
[00:09:16] <Casper> ?
[00:14:02] <Mr_Sheesh> in the concrete (carbide tipped saw or the like)
[00:16:06] <Casper> oh I'll rent a saw to cut, just unsure of the "new" way to install...
[00:16:40] <Casper> I see that some cut bigger, fix it on the header, then fill the void with concrete
[00:17:21] <Casper> other cut bigger, put a wood frame all around, then cap it with alu, then install the window..
[00:18:00] <Casper> some say to not use wood as it rot... other say must use wood...
[00:25:35] <Mr_Sheesh> IDK on wood or not; My current windows are all vinyl
[00:25:50] <Casper> yes will be vinyl window
[00:25:54] <Casper> but...
[00:26:23] <Casper> http://i.imgur.com/i2QX9uI.jpg <=== this shall give you an idea of the window size
[00:29:52] <Mr_Sheesh> won't load on my browser, arrgh
[00:36:39] <jaggz> Casper, vids on just vinyl in brick or concrete seem good
[00:37:44] <Mr_Sheesh> yeah vinyl doesn't rot & better insulation than Al
[00:38:55] <Casper> I just wonder if I cut the hole slightly larger, then just fill with concrete... or if I put a wood frame... which I don't think would be a good idea...
[00:39:14] <jaggz> yeah maybe avoid wood .. if you're already vinyl
[00:39:20] <jaggz> I mean, already going vinyl
[00:39:28] <jaggz> why decrease its longevity
[00:40:50] <Casper> now... standard concrete... or hydraulic concrete (sets in minutes)
[00:41:22] <Casper> might use both... hydraulic to lock in place, then the cheaper normal one to fill and even stuff
[00:41:45] <jaggz> does hydraulic expand?
[00:41:58] <jaggz> vinyl windows that are squeezed too tight are the worst :)
[00:44:02] <Casper> hmm not sure, think it does actually
[00:52:35] <Mr_Sheesh> they use expanding concrete to crack rocks apart; You could split your foundation, yay! :P
[00:54:00] <Casper> hey! that would fail here! it has been built in the '50 ! stronger than rock!
[01:04:16] <Mr_Sheesh> Depends on whether it has rebar / cretemesh in there or now :P
[01:04:19] <Mr_Sheesh> not*
[02:52:19] <clean> I'm seeing configurations for FT232R like this: miso = 1; # RxD. sck = 0; # RTS. mosi = 2; # TxD. reset = 4; # DTR. However those pins don't match on the FT232R specs (
http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/DataSheets/ICs/DS_FT232R.pdf ,page 7), eg DTR is pin 2.
[02:53:55] <clean> I have noticed that on the "schematic symbol" which only shows some pins, if you count from 0, the order of pins shown perfectly matches conf. I'm very new to all this. Is this a coincidence? I don't really understand what the pin numbers in avrdude.conf correspond to.
[05:30:49] <Jartza_> 2
[05:30:51] <Jartza_> oops
[05:36:55] <_ami_> Jartza: 2... hmm :D
[05:37:13] <_ami_> 2m$ dollar transferred? ;)
[05:42:12] <Jartza> yes, 2 millidollars :)
[05:42:34] <Jartza> unfortunately they rounded it to zero
[05:44:01] <_ami_> :P
[07:06:00] <anton02> how come he felt the need to put that in the channel topic 'ENCOURAGE PEOPLE OR WE WILL SQUASH YOU, REALLY!'
[07:06:18] <iwancoppa> _ami_: did I tell you I got my UART working? Problem was the CH340G - Rx line wasn't being driven down enough to get a logic low on the AVR :facepalm:
[07:09:52] <_ami_> iwancoppa: nice, :)
[07:10:03] <_ami_> how did u find it? :)
[07:11:14] <iwancoppa> Well, I was looking at the signal on my scope
[07:11:32] <iwancoppa> Had it on 5v/div, and I know it needs some serious calibration work done, so I didn't think much of it
[07:11:56] <iwancoppa> I was getting fully sick of it, so I put it on 1v/div with ground on the bottom graticule
[07:12:03] <iwancoppa> and noticed about 1.4v logic low
[07:12:34] <iwancoppa> at which point I chucked a v divider in, and the UART magically worked.
[07:13:59] <iwancoppa> So now I have a very low error rate 28800 baud serial link
[07:14:18] <iwancoppa> Can't go any higher on this crystal without a non-integer divisor, unfortunately
[07:16:06] <iwancoppa> Actually, I could enable the Double-speed asynchronous mode - that'd give me 57600 baud, and I don't think I would get too many errors given that I'd still have a perfect integer UBRR value
[07:19:20] <Lambda-Aurigae> my MCP23017, MCP23S17, MCP23018, and MCP23S18 chips were delivered yesterday..gotta remember to pick them up at the office this morning.
[07:23:33] <_ami_> iwancoppa: nice,
[07:24:07] <_ami_> Lambda-Aurigae: lucky you. i am still waiting for my shipment to arrive. its stuck in custom.
[07:24:20] <_ami_> They are asking BS questions.
[07:24:27] <Lambda-Aurigae> came from taiwan and no customs crap.
[07:24:37] <Lambda-Aurigae> only ever had a customs issue once.
[07:24:38] <_ami_> like why total Invoice is 0$
[07:24:47] <Lambda-Aurigae> and that was for some memory that shipped from south korea.
[07:25:08] <_ami_> i am tired of fucking explain them every time that these items are samples so thats why 0$
[07:25:40] <Lambda-Aurigae> stuff from microchip is labeled samples usually so no issues with that.
[07:25:53] <_ami_> Lambda-Aurigae: mine from SL.
[07:25:59] <_ami_> silicon labs
[07:26:19] <iwancoppa> Sounds like they made the mistake of putting the invoice in the package :/
[07:26:33] <_ami_> iwancoppa: yea :(
[07:26:44] <_ami_> its more DHL shit than SL
[07:26:48] <_ami_> more of *
[07:26:54] <iwancoppa> Oh, screw DHL
[07:27:00] <Lambda-Aurigae> aahh.
[07:27:03] <iwancoppa> '1-2 day express airmail'
[07:27:06] <iwancoppa> took 6 days
[07:27:18] <Lambda-Aurigae> that and your customs is rather more ticky than ours.
[07:27:31] <_ami_> iwancoppa: it reached in record 2 days from Texas
[07:27:42] <iwancoppa> oh damn
[07:28:01] <_ami_> its stuck in custom from last 2 days
[07:28:35] <_ami_> i wrote a declaration form to them as well to Deputy commissioner of Customs as well.
[07:28:35] <iwancoppa> I think my email to atmel customer service is stuck in customs too
[07:28:36] <Lambda-Aurigae> ok..off to worky.
[07:29:03] <_ami_> iwancoppa: atmel generally replies in 2-3 days.
[07:29:04] <_ami_> :)
[07:29:20] <iwancoppa> I know some people who work in Defence - I'm sure they can help me out with this minor inconvenience
[07:29:37] <Lambda-Aurigae> nuke em from orbit!
[07:29:42] <Lambda-Aurigae> it's the only way to be certain.
[07:29:59] <iwancoppa> I'm sure they'd get samples to Raytheon within 24 hours
[07:30:53] <_ami_> i shall not order anymore samples from now on wards.
[07:31:06] <_ami_> its a big pain in Ass.
[07:31:32] <_ami_> although i got the samples from TI today (via FEDEX)
[07:32:11] <_ami_> there were no problem with custom with FEDEX
[08:24:23] <iwancoppa> Well this isn't dodgy at all. Creating an account on microchip.com, it is showing me my password in plaintext
[08:29:47] <skz81> <Lambda-Aurigae> All Hail Prince Valium! Yaaaawn. >> the one from SpaceBalls ? x)
[08:30:13] <skz81> oops late answer
[10:36:45] <Jartza> hallo
[10:36:49] <Jartza> waka waka... vacation
[10:38:01] <Casper> not yet
[10:38:20] <bss36504> getting close
[10:38:38] <Casper> yes, but my package is not getting closer
[10:38:40] <Jartza> what you mean not yet, it started like 2 hours ago :)
[10:38:42] <bss36504> has anyone had the pleasure of using a Xilinx Zynq chip?
[10:38:45] <Casper> ... well, it is, but not...
[10:38:53] <Casper> (canada post is in lockout)
[10:39:16] <bss36504> I'm waiting for my boss to leave so we can all leave
[10:40:51] <Casper> hehe
[10:40:55] <Jartza> Casper: also, USPS & tracking. just got an message, that my package just arrived to Istanbul, Turkey
[10:40:56] <Casper> cheater?
[10:41:03] <Jartza> ...and I already got the package like 4 days ago
[10:41:08] <Jartza> so I have no fricking idea WHAT they are tracking, but it ain't my package
[10:41:14] <Casper> hehe
[10:41:15] <Jartza> (and I also live in Finland)
[10:41:43] <Casper> the 27 I ordered some screen protector for my phone
[10:41:55] <Casper> eta: 8-15 days
[10:42:02] <Casper> ow well...
[10:42:13] <Casper> yesterdat I received a package!
[10:42:34] <Casper> ... too thin, can't be... wait... there is no box inside!
[10:42:49] <Casper> wait... that's smaller than my phone screen!
[10:43:06] <Casper> I rip the package open... a white plastic thing?
[10:43:16] <Casper> slip it out...
[10:43:23] <Casper> oh! it's my gift card!
[10:43:24] <Casper> :D
[10:43:57] <Casper> I had forgotten that I did order it (via credit card points)
[10:44:44] <learath> lol always fun
[10:44:57] <learath> Casper: was it in a ~5 cu ft box?
[10:46:16] <Jartza> Casper: have you ever ordered spares from HP? :)
[10:46:41] <Jartza> I once ordered one laptop cooling fan (like 6mm thick 40mm diameter)
[10:46:54] <Jartza> that came in 60cm x 60cm x 20cm box
[10:54:10] <Casper> nope never from hp directly
[10:54:30] <Casper> but 60x60x20 seems quite excessive
[10:54:42] <Casper> someone screwed up there
[10:55:27] <Casper> learath: it was in a bubble envelope...
[10:55:43] <learath> Casper: that is *no fun*.
[17:50:04] <Lambda-Aurigae> http://hackaday.com/2016/07/01/spotmini-struts-its-stuff/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+hackaday%2FLgoM+%28Hack+a+Day%29
[17:50:10] <Lambda-Aurigae> I guarantee there's no arduino in that.
[17:56:14] <Tom_itx> money back guarantee?
[17:58:11] <Tom_itx> yeah, probably a PIC :)
[18:00:14] <Strangework> Why a PIC instead of an AVR?
[18:01:09] <Tom_itx> they're not as hobby friendly
[18:01:23] <Tom_itx> pick a reason...
[18:01:26] <Tom_itx> i was kidding
