17:44 tsmeow-afk ponders finding a new use for the diode array that a 7-segment displa
17:45 katsmeow-afk such as gluing another 7-segment over it, and using it as a 7x optocoupler
17:48 katsmeow-afk woah, Arkansas got iced over
18:14 rue_shop2 kat, ttl, open collector, non inverting... 74 ?
18:14 rue_shop2 05?
18:15 katsmeow-afk errrr
18:16 katsmeow-afk 07
18:16 katsmeow-afk 7407= [!what][!electronics][!integrated circuit] Hex Buffer/Driver with 30V open collector outputs
18:16 rue_shop2 ah, thankyou!
18:16 katsmeow-afk 7417= [!what][!electronics][!integrated circuit] Hex Buffer/Driver with 15V open collector outputs
18:17 rue_shop2 :) gee, I got a lot of smt versions of these
18:17 tsmeow-afk enjoys her T
18:17 katsmeow-afk i wonder how that happened
18:17 tsmeow-afk hopes you wanted what you

18:20 katsmeow-afk my thoughts exactly : http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?id=988#comic
18:45 katsmeow-afk this is supposed to be a Brazilian military ship : http://www.histarmar.com.ar/InfHistorica-4/1GM-ArmadasSudamericanas/Brasil/Missoes.jpg
18:55 rue_shop2 oo fly the white flags!

18:58 Tom_L PT100 are quite linear
19:01 katsmeow-afk -20c to 420c

19:02 katsmeow-afk 1) $16 is too much, those sell for $5 each sometimes 2) may as well get better probes if you can
19:03 m_L retracts the last
19:03 katsmeow-afk http://www.ebay.com/itm/290729830035 <<== 2 for $80 300Mhz and good for 2000v

19:04 Tom_L i got some of those
19:04 katsmeow-afk http://www.ebay.com/itm/290315764059 <<== 2 for 500Mhz $150
19:05 katsmeow-afk plus those $5 ones don't have the readout pin
19:06 katsmeow-afk you engraving instead of etching?
19:07 Tom_itx http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/pendant8.jpg
19:07 Tom_itx trying to do a better job on that
19:07 Tom_itx adding more buttons making a new face for it
19:08 katsmeow-afk make it wireless?
19:08 Tom_itx no
19:08 katsmeow-afk why not?
19:09 Tom_itx not a good idea to control machinery wirelessly
19:09 tsmeow-afk calls
19:09 Tom_itx they got more money than me
19:10 Tom_itx if i don't like these, i'll have em reground locally
19:10 katsmeow-afk what happens if one of the wires breaks in the cable?
19:13 Tom_itx hopefully it won't be the ESTOP one
19:13 katsmeow-afk or the ground
19:13 katsmeow-afk "the gnd broke, all the lines went high at once!"
19:13 Tom_itx multiple gnd
19:14 tsmeow-afk had a lighting gnd break once, all the lites came on whenever any lite was turne
19:15 Tom_itx no mechanical device is perfect
19:15 tsmeow-afk
19:16 katsmeow-afk "i am your flight control computer, i never break <click> never break <click> never break<cl..............
19:19 rue_shop2 <thump>...<thump>.....<thump><thump><thump><thump>
19:21 katsmeow-afk "what's that thumping?" "we are hitting boulders on the bottom of the lake" "yea, isn't that why boats are supposed to float?"
19:22 tsmeow-afk looks for auntie hista
19:44 katsmeow-afk so instead of putting 500 lites on the house, why not put one rgb laser in the front yard, and have it draw all the lites on the house?
19:44 Tom_itx make it heat seeking then it would know where to place the light
19:45 katsmeow-afk by avoiding the heat sources?
19:46 Tom_itx oh you mean a string of light
19:47 katsmeow-afk yeas, those xmas lites humans decorate their habitats with
19:49 katsmeow-afk Fastenal abrasive disks are 15% off
19:54 Tom_itx 4.5" cutoff?
19:55 katsmeow-afk i didn't look, i was there today and got some 6" cutoffs
19:56 katsmeow-afk i get 4.5" grinding, but i put on 6" zipdisks
19:56 Tom_itx not a priority right now
19:57 Tom_itx on a wheel that's made for 4.5?
19:57 katsmeow-afk i get HF's 4.5" cutoffs, but only because they are the thinnest i have ever seen
19:57 Tom_itx mine still has the guard on it
19:57 Tom_itx harbor freight?
19:57 Tom_itx do they actually hold together?
19:57 katsmeow-afk oh, the guard is the first to go, like the winders keys on the keybds
19:57 katsmeow-afk yeas
19:58 katsmeow-afk cannot side grind on the HF thins, but they slice very thin kerfs
19:58 Tom_itx not supposed to side grind anyway
19:58 Tom_itx i got other wheels for that
19:58 katsmeow-afk i figuerd if the grinder handled a 4.5" abrasive, it could handle a 6" cutoff, and they does
19:59 katsmeow-afk yeas, however if you need to polish the inside of a slot, a lite touch with the side of a cutoff can do it
20:00 Tom_itx are they fiber reinforced?
20:00 katsmeow-afk i don't take any thickness off the cutoff when doing it tho, don't wanna risk it coming apart
20:00 katsmeow-afk yeas
20:00 katsmeow-afk wait, which?
20:01 Tom_itx cutoff
20:01 katsmeow-afk the HF ones aren't, iirc, but the blackstone at Fastenal are
20:01 Tom_itx so the HF are more prone to shatter
20:02 katsmeow-afk if you bind or use them as grinding wheels, sure
20:02 katsmeow-afk in 15 yrs, i have chipped *one* when the overhanging steel bent and grabbed it
20:04 tsmeow-afk points out she wears gloves when using a "body grinder" with any abrasive o
20:04 katsmeow-afk and glasses
20:04 katsmeow-afk and sometimes long sleeves and a hat
20:06 Tom_itx kinda goes without saying
20:06 Tom_itx survival of the fittest...
20:06 Tom_itx darwin...
20:06 Tom_itx etc
20:07 tsmeow-afk
20:08 tsmeow-afk does periodically verify the rules of physics are still in
20:10 katsmeow-afk for instance, abrasive disks cut any pvc or plexi better than any sharp cutter, even new carbide, as long as you don't gum it up
20:15 tsmeow-afk wonders if Art can certify his own work as his own
20:23 katsmeow-afk "this is a Certified Work of Art"
20:27 katsmeow-afk one reason i want my bridge crane wireless is so i am not near any falling steel
20:27 katsmeow-afk cable winches that overwrap the cable tent to make the cable become fragile, which isn't a good thing when holding up 500lbs or more
20:27 katsmeow-afk tent-tend
