16:38 iamturnip rue_mohr: you mean the teletypes or the actual typerwriter?
16:39 Tom_itx rue_mohr
16:39 Tom_itx danf is complaining
16:39 Tom_itx if I publically declare that steppers are king and I was wrong to talk about servos will you let me back in the channel? :)
17:40 frogs rue_mohr: would you let me see the link of the forum that flyback is freaking out about?
17:40 Tom_itx what's he crying about now?
17:41 frogs he says rue_mohr has accused him of writing something on a forum, somewhere
17:42 Tom_itx isn't that what facebook is all about?
17:42 Tom_itx stabbing ppl in the back etc
17:42 frogs i would like to see it
17:42 Tom_itx yeah he pm'd me crying about it too
17:43 frogs what is the link?
17:43 Tom_itx i dunno, he said it was in ##electronics
17:43 Tom_itx that's a cesspool anyway
17:44 Tom_itx those 2 never seem to get along anyway
17:45 frogs there are some spammers that log the channel to generate posts for adsense blogspam
17:47 rue_mohr iamturnip, the actual typewriter
17:48 frogs hello rue_mohr
17:48 frogs why is rue_shop missing?
17:48 rue_mohr frogs, haha he didn't like me spotting some of his youtube account names
17:49 rue_mohr look at the comments for the homebrew solderpot on youtube, you can pick out the ones that are flyback
17:49 frogs http://www.youtube.com/user/JJSaspie is the only one i know of
17:49 frogs that was neat about the lightbulb solder pot
17:52 rue_shop heh thats funny tho
17:52 rue_shop iamturnip, the typewriter
17:52 frogs i think those are just random youtube idiots and not flyback, it needs more random all-caps
17:53 frogs rue_shop: have you seen https://www.circuitlab.com ?
17:53 frogs web simulator for circuits
17:53 rue_shop no it was flyback
17:53 rue_shop yes I did see it, its cool
17:53 rue_shop I think I even bookmarked it
17:54 frogs i've using it now for my circuit simulations
17:56 rue_shop uh did flyback just find out cause a copy of a log came up on a blog?
17:56 rue_shop hahah
18:14 katsmeow-afk 1000 PCS ISSI IS61LV256-15J , 8 bids, $66.00 + $18s&h
18:15 katsmeow-afk this is the 5th time 1000 of those have been auctioned , the very first 1000 went for 99 cents, then over $100 and ~$70 each time after that
18:16 Tom_itx rue_shop i think my question would be why you were even in ##electronics
18:18 rue_shop cause I wanted to ask flyback somehtin and I knew they hadn't kicked him out of there yet
18:19 rue_shop I'm surprised he's not an op
18:19 rue_shop hot air rises dont ya know
18:19 Tom_itx it hits the cool and makes a tornado
18:22 rue_shop 9600 baud... ok
18:22 rue_shop I dont get it
18:22 Tom_itx what?
18:22 Tom_itx the gps is 4800
18:23 Tom_itx on at least one channel
18:25 rue_shop this is for buddy's servos
18:25 Tom_itx did you get fired?
18:25 rue_shop its a holiday in canada
18:26 Tom_itx hail the queen!
18:26 rue_shop hmm shy isn't buddy talking to me
18:26 Tom_itx bad gnd wire
18:27 Tom_itx wrong program loaded
18:28 rue_shop its the right program
18:28 e_shop checks ground w
18:32 rue_shop adapter loopback is ok
18:32 rue_shop serial hub loopback is ok
18:33 Tom_itx bits right?
18:33 katsmeow-afk my eyes keep closing, my brain won't shut off, and therefor i cannot sleep, i need drugs
18:34 Tom_itx it's daytime
18:34 rue_shop katsmeow-afk, and isn't it murphys that when you brain stops your muscles are rearing to go
18:34 katsmeow-afk like everyting tho, even the mildest meds online are approaching $1 per pill
18:34 katsmeow-afk yeas
18:34 rue_shop one word
18:34 rue_shop turkey
18:34 rue_shop no, er I mean turkey is the word
18:34 katsmeow-afk tryptophan isn't working
18:34 rue_shop oh
18:35 katsmeow-afk i ate a sammich hours ago,, i think it was lunch
18:35 katsmeow-afk my eyes itch
18:36 e_shop tries rebooting the servo control
18:38 katsmeow-afk one miner is grabbing data on uracil reductase inactivators , and various car parts
18:38 rue_shop 18 servo controlers sitting here twiddling their thumbs
18:38 katsmeow-afk the log file , the list of file names etc, is 50megabytes
18:41 rue_shop ok I dialed the primary supply up to the full 24V
18:42 rue_shop I dont like powering up a fully armed weapon and having the controller not talk to ya
18:43 rue_shop "power up" and the lamp stays on 'idle'
18:44 katsmeow-afk does it's eyes menace you tho?
18:45 rue_shop "power up" and the lamp stays on 'idle'...
18:45 katsmeow-afk does it's eyes menace you tho?
18:45 rue_shop has no eyes
18:45 katsmeow-afk oh
18:45 katsmeow-afk you can hide from it then
18:46 rue_shop its fully powered, if it wants, it can stick its finger into its brain and tear out wires,
18:46 rue_shop I just want to know the servos are working
18:46 rue_shop maybe I should try the old code
18:47 katsmeow-afk i am betting to goes up to the upper yard and attacks the mower
18:47 rue_shop no now, I'm working on the hexapod
18:48 katsmeow-afk so i found enough tiney transformers to pull up mosfet gates and power opamps, i need a use for a pile of 30amp relays with 12v coils
18:49 katsmeow-afk yeas, the hexapod, i am betting it goes up to the upper yard and attacks the mower when you power it up off-idle
18:51 katsmeow-afk <rue's memoirs> "any time i activated an electrically powered robot, especially mowerbots, they'd go out and attack the gas powered push mower."
18:56 katsmeow-afk going to lay down befoe i faceplant aain
18:56 katsmeow-afk prolly be back in 5 minutes
19:01 rue_shop gnight
19:04 zhanx out in the garden it was weird like a flash back of memories of fallujah
19:04 zhanx oddness
19:04 Tom_itx how can you continue a line in javascript?
19:05 zhanx 3 is max i have done
19:14 iamturnip rue_shop: its a Royal Portable, the only typey I saved in my collection
19:17 iamturnip rue_mohr: http://ftp.iem.at/pub/pub/Misc/VR/powerglove-hc11/pg.gif
19:21 rue_shop iamturnip, well there I can help ya
19:21 rue_shop want my 68hc11 EVBU?
19:22 rue_shop oh its an 811
19:22 rue_shop damn
19:22 Tom_itx i got a couple of those
19:22 Tom_itx one with 32k ram
19:22 Tom_itx sram
19:23 rue_shop hmm
19:24 rue_shop can you still flash it?
19:24 rue_shop well I hope some static didn't get to buddy and blow out all the servo controllers
19:25 rue_shop couldn't have, they have to work to be in standby
19:27 rue_shop so why aren't the servo controllers talking to me
19:29 rue_shop iamturnip, the code he uses on that dosn't look to complex
19:29 rue_shop I might be able to convert it to run on an avr
19:30 e_shop wonders how many un-modified powergloves there are currently in the w
19:30 anx wonders if they ever made a powerglove that would fit his
19:42 iamturnip there were tw osizes made
19:44 rue_shop Tom_itx, could you flash the code to a 811?
19:44 rue_shop iamturnip, I'd love to convert the code to avr, but it'd take me months to get it done
19:44 iamturnip whats the difference
19:45 rue_shop if you released the port to avr you would be hailed a hero by all the people converting them
19:45 iamturnip correction YOU would be hailed a hero
19:46 rue_shop someone might even mod the port to work with avr
19:46 rue_shop na, I'm not into it
19:46 iamturnip how still doesnt answer my question
19:46 iamturnip *however
19:47 rue_shop avrs are highly available
19:47 rue_shop and more likey for some else to expand on the code
19:47 iamturnip aaaaah
19:49 iamturnip i'm still leaning towards that 17 dollar USB kit
19:49 rue_shop 17 isn't bad
19:50 iamturnip that way I work on getting it to play sounds more then working on some sort of plug to get it talking
19:50 rue_shop its a lot cheaper than hours converting code
19:50 rue_shop yes
19:50 rue_shop hey, I owe you $20 want me to get it for ya?
19:50 rue_shop 20?
19:50 iamturnip sure
19:50 rue_shop ok
19:50 rue_shop ... whats the link
19:50 iamturnip http://www.retrousb.com/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=52
19:52 rue_shop ugh sigh up... geesh...
19:52 rue_shop rue_mohr, https://www.retrousb.com/create_account.php fill that out for me will ya?
19:52 iamturnip ha
19:52 iamturnip can you have it drop shipped here?
19:52 rue_shop yea, msg rue_mohr with the details
19:53 rue_shop do you have a powerglove to modify?
19:53 iamturnip YES
19:53 rue_shop ok then your set
19:53 iamturnip opps damn caps lock
19:53 rue_shop did you lookup what kinda device is registers as?
19:54 iamturnip not yet
19:54 rue_shop might be a multiaxis joystick
19:54 iamturnip i figured i would be surprised when i plug it in
19:55 rue_shop somewhere here I have...
19:57 rue_shop code for usb joystick stuff...
19:57 rue_shop in C or python...
20:00 rue_shop aha
20:00 rue_shop its in C
20:00 rue_shop uses SDL
20:00 rue_shop I used it to control one of the robotic arms
20:00 rue_shop are you interested?
20:10 iamturnip might be
20:10 iamturnip let me get it all USB'd up and see what happens first
20:18 rue_mohr you mind if I cleap out on shipping?
20:19 rue_mohr usps bubbler?
20:19 Tom_itx i don't have an 811
20:19 rue_mohr haha
20:20 Tom_itx and i don't even remember how i did flash it
20:20 Tom_itx now
20:20 Tom_itx was it via serial?
20:20 rue_mohr dunno
20:20 Tom_itx it's all in a box
20:20 Tom_itx and one or two that never got assembled
20:20 rue_mohr iamturnip, I'll go cheap on shipping.... I think it'll get there ok
20:22 Tom_itx http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/lightseeker/lightseeker2.jpg
20:22 Tom_itx that was one of them
20:23 Tom_itx an early ver
20:23 Tom_itx that still works btw
20:23 Tom_itx i think
20:24 rue_mohr iamturnip, hmm, it says the product is "in production"
20:24 rue_mohr sounds like shipment time may varry
20:30 katsmeow-afk <cough>
20:58 flyback_ frogs?
21:04 flyback_ rue_mohr: I hated your guts and washed my hands of youo when you started accusing me of being a trioll and getting your bot banned on purpose
21:04 flyback_ WHY THE FUCK WOULD i START NOW
21:04 flyback_ i want nothing to do with you
21:05 flyback_ I don't have enough fucking chest pain and more and more attacks leaving me on the fucking floor
21:05 flyback_ like I am going to seriously waste time messing with you
21:05 flyback_ think about how fucking stupid this is
21:06 katsmeow-afk yet, you ARE in here wasting time with him!
21:06 flyback_ because I don't need him going around telling people shit I didn't do
21:06 -!- flyback_ was kicked from #garfield by rue_mohr!~rue@24-207-19-104.eastlink.ca [flyback_]
21:07 rue_mohr I think in ~5 seconds he will be back
21:07 katsmeow-afk sorry, i couldn't op faster in here
21:07 rue_mohr np :)
21:08 katsmeow-afk [20:58] -ChanServ- You are not authorized to perform this operation.
21:08 rue_mohr hmm
21:08 rue_mohr I dont know who is op here
21:09 katsmeow-afk not me
21:09 katsmeow-afk i am untrustworthy everywhere now
21:09 rue_mohr I think its just me
21:09 katsmeow-afk the gods have said so
21:10 rue_mohr dont you go getting all depressed on me again!
21:10 rue_mohr (please)
21:10 katsmeow-afk k
21:11 rue_mohr I'm bummed cause my hexapod wouldn't wake up
21:12 rue_mohr I should make one of the io pins trigger a text serial message
21:12 katsmeow-afk technically, i think "idle" is awake, but just playing Solitaire
21:12 rue_mohr and be able to change the state of a test pin via serial
21:12 rue_mohr only being able to turn the servos on and off via serial isn't a safe test
21:14 rue_mohr the servo loop controllers boot into an 'off' mode, in which they do high speed alternating of some bicolour leds. they are alternating so I know the conroller is running
21:14 rue_mohr but its not talking
21:14 katsmeow-afk oh
21:15 rue_mohr tom put 6 pin programming headers on the boards, so I dont even know where the stuff is to reflash them if I want to
21:15 katsmeow-afk uh oh
21:16 rue_mohr the chips are socketed :)
21:17 katsmeow-afk no, it's not "Lou Christie McEvil" , it's "Lucretia McEvil"
21:18 rue_mohr ?
21:19 katsmeow-afk song title
21:19 rue_mohr ah
21:19 katsmeow-afk altho Lou Christie was as inger, he never sang that song, and it wasn't named for him
21:20 rue_mohr *blink* ok
21:35 zhanx http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/05/21/nc-teacher-captured-on-video-suggesting-student-could-be-arrested-for-obama?test=latestnews
21:35 zhanx and racist teachers in the south rule
21:35 katsmeow-afk "arrested for obama" ?
21:36 Tom_itx 6pin headers are the shizzle now
21:36 katsmeow-afk The argument started when the classroom began discussing news reports that Mitt Romney bullied a fellow student when he was in high school. <<== so the teacher decided to do so also
21:37 m_itx gives rue_shop a
21:37 Tom_itx http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/boards/USBTiny_Mkii/6pin_isp.jpg
21:40 rue_mohr yes but I'm not sure where my cable is for it
21:42 m_itx dangles one under rue_mohr's
21:50 zhanx katsmeow-afk: listen to the youtube video at the bottom
22:00 katsmeow-afk i have no sound
22:01 katsmeow-afk i pretty much never listen/watch/read Fox news tho, it's all horribly hyped
22:51 rue_mohr huh the debug system isn't used for anything right now
22:51 rue_mohr debugToggle()
23:17 rue_mohr iamturnip, msg email address!
