12:28 AM day__ is now known as daey
12:33 AM rue_house: dsal, I been playing with having a logic analizer pick up on REALLY FAST synchronous serial blips
12:33 AM rue_house: so far I'v been improessed
12:33 AM rue_house: cant type today tho
12:45 AM antto: go home keyboard, ur drunk
12:45 AM rue_house: the model M is still my fav keyboard
12:46 AM rue_house: wish I had more of them
12:46 AM antto: there's a channel for people like you
12:46 AM rue_house: somehow, my typing always comes otut right
12:46 AM rue_house: on it
12:46 AM rue_house: I still cant work out the difference
12:47 AM rue_house: less that my fingers have feedback that the key was hit
12:47 AM rue_house: but it dos't expalin why on they keyboard I just keep missing the keys
12:47 AM antto: i also had a keyboard on which i typed fastest and with least errors
12:47 AM antto: it was a quasi-random almost brandless chinese slimkey rubber dome multimedia keyboard
12:48 AM rue_house: some of the rubber dome keybaords have a feedback to them
12:48 AM antto: sure, that's doable via careful design of teh rubb3r
01:09 AM polprog: i never miss a key on my cherry
01:10 AM antto: i never missed a key on this: http://i.imgur.com/QEk0AW2.jpg
01:11 AM antto: 5 bucks random keyboard
01:11 AM antto: shipped from china in containers to europe
01:11 AM antto: one amongst many other equivalently cheap models
01:11 AM polprog: heh, crusty
01:11 AM antto: but it was sooo good
01:11 AM antto: unexpectedly
01:11 AM polprog: i like my thinkpad keyboard too
01:13 AM antto: also, the internal construction was somehow funky.. you could open it (to clean it or something) and the rubber domes were held somehow
01:13 AM antto: they don't just fall all over the place
01:14 AM polprog: ive seen most of them have a big sheet,only the old ones had separate domes
01:14 AM polprog: i think
01:14 AM antto: all of my cheap-ass keyboards have sepparate rubber domes
01:14 AM antto: and if you open them - they just fall out
01:15 AM antto: 104 of them!
01:15 AM polprog: lol
01:15 AM antto: except that one
01:15 AM antto: i've been hunting that keyboard down for the past bunch of years
01:16 AM antto: i managed to find a variation of it by accident in a local forgotten shop (old stock)
01:16 AM antto: https://i.imgur.com/bTq5NFw.jpg <- the one in the distance
02:12 AM rue_house: antto, well, its not a stupid-takes-up-the-space-of-3-desks-multimedia keyboard, so I'd be willing to give it a try
02:13 AM antto: the one i'm talking about?
02:18 AM rue_house: the good one you said you found
02:18 AM rue_house: it looks like a good 'cherry' keyboard is damn near $500 even from china
02:18 AM antto: it's pretty much unobtainable afaict
02:19 AM rue_house: I saw multiple cap sets available, but not the new keyabords that were going with them
02:19 AM antto: i bought that keyboard somewhere probably in 2003 or 2005.. didn't realize it was so good untill after i broke it and bought another bunch of equally cheap keyboards
02:20 AM antto: today we have different models of cheap brandless keyboards
02:20 AM antto: they change all the time
02:21 AM antto: the one i found by accident was in an old forgotten shop for electronic components, it was sitting on a high shelf almost under the ceiling, covered in dust, it was old stock, and was the last one
02:22 AM antto: now it seems there are a few chinese websites from where you could supposedly order it.. with minimum quantity = 1000
02:23 AM antto: the model is something like "KM-1001" or "KM1001" slim multimedia keyboard, the "brand" i think is Codegen, with a "Superpower" label.. but that could be missing, and i've also seen them branded as "Prestigio"
02:24 AM antto: the one i bought in 2003-ish was Superpower (like in the pic), the one i found is a variation and has no brand markings on it
02:25 AM antto: rue_house but if you *do* manage to find some - pls tell me
02:25 AM antto: i'd buy a bunch ;P~
02:25 AM antto: ps/2 and USB - gimme
02:43 AM rue_house: actaully, I'm down to building one
02:48 AM antto: a keyboard?
02:48 AM antto: you should be on #geekhack then.. the mechanical keyboard slutz channel
02:49 AM rue_house: I have a lot of old keyboards to use as parts
02:49 AM rue_house: but then the question struck me, are they the parts I want
02:50 AM antto: folks make their own keyboards even without cases
02:50 AM antto: i've seen bare PCBs with just switches and keycaps sticking out ;P~
04:09 AM noHitW_work: sup
06:04 AM Houngan: hello
06:07 AM Houngan: heya
06:08 AM Lambda_Aurigae: ugh
06:09 AM Houngan: ugg
08:07 AM easy_ref123: hi, tryign to download FLIP but that section of the atmel site seems to be unavailable - know where else i can get it?
08:09 AM antto: thanks, microchip >:/
08:12 AM antto: http://www.atmel.com/tools/flip.aspx
08:13 AM easy_ref123: antto, works every 2nd refresh lol
09:54 AM easy_ref123: hi, just trying to light some LEDs on XMEGA-B1 Xplained board
09:54 AM easy_ref123: i have not programmed avr chips before, but...it should be as simple as
09:55 AM easy_ref123: PORTB.DIR = 0xf0;?
09:55 AM easy_ref123: LEDs on this board are active low, and tied to PORTB[4-7]
09:56 AM APic: ☺
09:56 AM easy_ref123: ?
09:59 AM twnqx: two steps, first, set direction to output, then set output to low, just to be sure
10:00 AM easy_ref123: PORTB.DIR = 0xff; PORTB.OUT = 0; ?
10:00 AM easy_ref123: does not work for me
10:00 AM APic: ☺
10:00 AM twnqx: looks like you're using arduino naming stuff, no idea about that, sorry
10:01 AM * APic hopes that the radare2 Suite already knows how to emit AVR-Assembly. ☺
10:01 AM easy_ref123: I'm using Atmel Studio
10:01 AM APic: Aaaaaand reverse it of course. ☺
10:02 AM twnqx: never used an xmega, but tried DDRB = 0xf0; PORTB = 0x00; ?
10:02 AM twnqx: (that would be "normal" avr naming)
10:03 AM easy_ref123: yes, these are structs so compile error
10:03 AM twnqx: ok
10:03 AM easy_ref123: i will try using just a text editor
10:04 AM easy_ref123: instead of atmel ide

05:21 PM HelloShitty: Hello guys
05:22 PM HelloShitty: I think I gt my antenna analyser kinda working
05:22 PM HelloShitty: I just need to replace some diodes because the ones I'm using are probably breaking the circuit
05:22 PM HelloShitty: but in terms of software I think it's running
