00:35 any46756233 it's just too scarey simple to make a mess of a country nowadays, including economic boycotts of it
00:41 any46756233 i wonder what the usa would do if North Korea sent nuclear bombers in training runs to islands off Venesuela or Cuba
00:44 any46756233 or sent missile launch frigates to train 250 miles off the usa east coast in international waters
00:48 any46756233 wow , http://maps.google.com/maps?q=%22north+pole%22 has **_ONE_FOOT_** resolution!!
00:49 any46756233 then if you zoom out to 50mi res, and grabthe pic and drag it, the res changes!

01:35 rue_house any work on the car today?
02:32 iamturni1 rue_bed: april 14th i think
02:32 iamturni1 thats a sunday
02:33 rue_house ok
02:53 any46756233 rue, got front bumper off, headlites off, then re-aired the outside pool-tank, and felt so bad physically i did little else the rest of the day
02:54 y46756233 is having a glass of wine atm because tylenol and ibuprofen aren't workng, and there's hurting goin
02:56 any46756233 tis nearly 3am, i'd prefer being asleep
02:56 any46756233 i got almost zero sleep last nite too
03:00 rue_house turkey
03:00 rue_house kat, isn't that ok for a day?
03:00 any46756233 tryptofan
03:00 rue_house prgress is cumulative you know
03:01 any46756233 true, but when i was 20 or 30 or 40 i caould accumulate progress a lot faster
03:03 rue_house you been fighting odds the whole way, you done pretty damn good!
03:06 any46756233 i have four *big* 36vdc motors i could have put into thet Geo , if only humans had allowed me to use my property
03:07 any46756233 i have been here 22 years, i could have saved $1000 per year in electricity, i could have saved at least $800 per year in grocery
03:08 any46756233 if i had been allowed to use my freaking driveway, which is on my property, and i put in the driveway, i'd have been selling on the internet before there was an ebay
03:09 any46756233 i'm exhausted, and got nowhere
06:32 jennie hi rue_
07:26 rue_house jennie, turns out the flyback diode fixed my heat problem, partly
07:26 rue_house now my flyback diode overheats,
07:26 rue_house BUT, you got better diodes
07:27 rue_house I meant to grab the circuit, I will tommorow
08:58 jennie ok
09:38 any46756233 For sorghum and corn, RUE values based on PAR decreased with increasing VPD with a slope of 0.65 and 0.85 g�MJ-1�kPa-1, respectively (St�ckle and Kiniry, 1990).
09:39 any46756233 To determine the effect of environmental factors on RUE, field studies were established in Marianna, Ark. (Cotton Branch Station, University of Arkansas) and Fresno, Calif. (Campus Farm, California State University, Fresno).
09:40 any46756233 The RUE was calculated as 2.2 g�MJ-1 of intercepted PAR at Marianna and 1.80 g�MJ-1 in Fresno. The higher values of productivity in Fresno can be attributed to higher amounts of incident and intercepted PAR between PHS and FF+3 compared to Marianna.
09:42 any46756233 maybe that is why rue is feeling bad
09:43 jennie ?
09:43 jennie :-S
09:43 jennie I thought he had cough
09:43 any46756233 couhs can feel bad
09:43 any46756233 he stayed home from work and was crabby, i'm sure he felt somewhat bad
09:43 jennie what you wrote above, I didnt get it ?
09:44 any46756233 i should write it bigger, or re-send it?
09:44 jennie no need
09:44 jennie I am better without understanding it
09:45 any46756233 i hear "ignorance is bliss", i think from the Matrix movies and the local humans
09:47 y46756233 goes to establish an interplexing beacon on the roof with parts from the scrap
09:58 any46756233 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-21852062 <<== it's a lil avr to tell your body if you are hungry or not, without you knowing
13:22 rue_house I'm awake again!
13:22 rue_house and the sun is out
13:25 any46756233 i wanna hear Morty Tails!
13:26 jennie hu rue_
13:26 jennie hi*
13:27 any46756233 hi rie
13:56 rue_house I'm hi?
13:56 rue_house ok...
14:18 jennie k
14:33 any46756233 k
14:37 any46756233 rue: all thread lamp tubing, metal knob shaft, typing paper, bondo or epoxy, cut tube to length to pass thru panel, wrap a turn of typing paper around shaft and secure with something so the paper is pretty tight, make jig to hold papered shaft in tube, force bondo or epoxy tween paper and tube, wait till tomorrow, unfasten paper from shaft, shaft will now spin easily in tube
14:39 y46756233 looks at her blood pressure laying in the gutter and tries to clog the arteries a lil to raise pres
14:40 any46756233 with *ta da!* salt
14:40 any46756233 tv station always says they'll have Morty Tales at 11, but they never do
14:45 rue_house lamp tubing, ok
14:45 any46756233 you know the stuff, i'm sure, you used it in the arm somewhere, or didn't
14:45 rue_house papered shaft
14:46 rue_house ah, and have 1 paper clearance
14:46 any46756233 and it be slick as the paper you choose, because it won't absorb the epoxy or bondo all the way thru it
14:48 rue_house I woke up this morning trying to remember how many volts the cats operated on
14:50 any46756233 after a week of not being able to figure out how to put 50ft of stuff on a 40ft hull, it dawned on me i can change the hull length
14:50 rue_house http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handheld_projector
14:50 rue_house I imagine the "battery almost dead" turns up almost every time the built in projector is being used
14:52 any46756233 or there is no room in the house dark enough to see the dim projection
14:53 rue_house http://www.projectorcentral.com/Brookstone-Pocket_Projector_for_iPhone_4.htm
14:53 rue_house thi one says a whopping 15 lumens
14:54 any46756233 woo, a light saber
14:54 any46756233 they can't compete with R2D2's projector because they just do not have the battery space
15:05 any46756233 walk into police station with such micro projectors, and shine selected clips of bad-guy movies onto the walls, see how many get shot up
15:07 any46756233 scifi movie, prisoner used one to shine a 3D image of someone in the corridor holding a gun on the cops, demanding the prisoners be turned loose
19:20 th1 hi rue_house, there?
19:21 jennie rue_house: , we got a problem
19:41 th1 rue_house, so I am wondering what the correct sequence for the PIC is with that new sequence.. is it 10 11 10 00 for the first phase and then shifted a position for each of the other ones, or what?
20:02 rue_house <rue_house> remember the table I made with the code?
20:02 rue_house <rue_house> I gave you the code for it
20:02 rue_house <rue_house> it had 0's 1's and -1's
20:03 th1 yeah
20:04 jennie [2013-03-10 08:18:31] <rue_house> U UE V VE W WE
20:04 jennie [2013-03-10 08:18:56] <rue_house> 0 1 1 1 0 0
20:04 jennie [2013-03-10 08:19:11] <rue_house> 0 1 0 0 1 1
20:04 jennie [2013-03-10 08:19:22] <rue_house> 0 0 0 1 1 1
20:04 jennie [2013-03-10 08:19:31] <rue_house> 1 1 0 1 0 0
20:04 jennie [2013-03-10 08:19:43] <rue_house> 1 0 0 0 0 1
20:04 jennie [2013-03-10 08:20:00] <rue_house> 0 0 1 1 0 1
20:04 rue_house no
20:04 rue_house I wrote code
20:04 rue_house for you
20:04 th1 but the new schematic has a different truth table
20:04 rue_house it make a table of 0's 1's and -1's
20:05 rue_house using sine waves that were offset 120 degrees
20:05 th1 yes I SAW THAT ONE
20:05 rue_house yea, you need that table
20:05 th1 sorry stuck shift key :)
20:05 th1 YEAH
20:05 th1 but what do the different values translate to in terms of input to the new circuit?
20:06 jennie http://codepad.org/i9arFt4j
20:06 jennie this is that code ^
20:06 rue_house 0 means the phase is completely off
20:06 rue_house 1 means the phase goes high
20:06 rue_house -1 means the phase goes pwm low
20:06 rue_house shall I let you work out the rest?
20:06 th1 so PWM short is never used right?
20:07 rue_house only if you want to short out the power supply
20:07 th1 ok
20:07 th1 but what is the difference between PWM LOW and HIGH
20:07 rue_house high attaches the motor to +V
20:07 rue_house pwm low attaches the motor to ground, but at a limted current
20:08 th1 I see
20:08 th1 so that 1R is the current limiter?
20:08 rue_house nope, its the sensor
20:09 rue_house the op-amp compares the value from it against the setpoint from the variable resistor, and turns the fet on and off to stay within the limits
20:11 rue_house the microcontroller tricks the low side into thinking its completely overloading, so it turns the bottom fet completely off, otherwise the system applies a limited current to the motor
20:12 rue_house afk
20:12 th1 ok
20:12 th1 thanks
20:12 th1 nice circuit :)
20:13 jennie yeah, many thanks
20:26 rue_house see how it does, talk to me
20:30 jennie yeah
21:17 jennie rue_house: I have question about circuit that +5v supply for all three circuits including a PIC , three comparators http://eds.dyndns.org/~ircjunk/circuits/phasedriver.jpg can be done with single 7805 regulator having 1A output current ? or a bigger amps regulator needed ?
21:17 rue_house the 5V is all low current now, yes
21:18 jennie yes for 7805 for all three circuits
21:18 jennie ?
21:18 rue_house yup
21:18 jennie ok :-)
23:50 rue_house kat, the most amazing thing just happened
23:50 rue_house I looked at the catfood disk and it was empty
23:51 rue_house I grabbed the bag and started to unzip it, and when I looked at the bowl, it was full
23:51 rue_house the last time I saw it, it was empty, I wonder what happened there
23:56 any64572945 catfood disk?
