00:06 y05568291 ponders a two-wire interface, one wire to the base of the thumb, one to the base of the lil finger, so it makes microvolts which can be picked up by someone else when you shake paws with
00:15 rue_shop2 know fun things to do to someone who is really drunk? the roommate seems to be being paid in beer, and he's constantly getting himself plastered
00:15 any05568291 http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304773104579270681906745124

00:17 rue_shop2 trying to recall if the plate(s) he broke were part of the set from grandmother
00:18 any05568291 :-/
00:18 rue_shop2 haha switching it to use floating point math and it worked first try
00:19 rue_shop2 yea, that completely stabalized it
00:19 any05568291 wierd
00:19 rue_shop2 it bumped the code size from 984 byes to 4500 bytes
00:20 rue_shop2 it scales the numbers, math like that goes wrong easy with integers
00:21 rue_shop2 wow, its easy to get
00:21 rue_shop2 ok, i just have to fix the integer remapping function then
00:26 rue_shop2 -E
00:29 rue_shop2 knockReadings[i] = (((((knockReadings[i])-(0.0))*((100.0)-(0.0)))/(((float)maxKnockInterval)-(0.0)))+(0.0));
00:29 e_shop2 gets a sca
00:30 any05568291 ouch, my eyes!
00:31 rue_shop2 dont worry, it only turns into ...
00:31 rue_shop2 knockReadings[i] = (knockReadings[i]*100)/maxKnockInterval;
00:32 rue_shop2 I dont understand how that can go wrong integer
00:32 any05568291 me either, seems to me it's way more about significant digits than floating point
00:33 any05568291 and a 16bit unsigned int should be way more than you need
00:33 rue_shop2 yup
00:33 rue_shop2 the values are only 0-1200
00:33 rue_shop2 in
00:33 rue_shop2 and 0-100 out
00:34 y05568291
00:36 rue_shop2 nope

00:36 any05568291 will this also detect if the boiler room is not gurrgglling properly?
00:37 rue_shop2 yesterday I thought of about 4 really cool uses for this
00:37 any05568291 will it detect if the truck engine has a fouled plug and is skipping on one cylinder?
00:37 rue_shop2 and I keep realizing that i can add freq and amplitude detection to it to make it do even more
00:38 rue_shop2 I cant find it right now
00:39 rue_shop2 there is a robot that listens to you play music, then plays a drum along with you, with a bit of improvisation, its really great

00:39 y05568291
00:41 rue_shop2 integer wont go
00:46 rue_shop2 aha
00:47 rue_shop2 it was overflowing a signed int?
00:47 any05568291 i dunno
00:47 rue_shop2 well I know multiplying it by 100 dosn't need to be floating point
00:48 rue_shop2 huh, yup
00:48 any05568291 who are you talking to??
00:49 rue_shop2 at the end of the universe, I'll be the only one left, so I might as well get used to it

14:57 rue_house ?
14:57 any05568291 brand name of a fuel pump
14:57 rue_house do they look good?
14:58 any05568291 in the outh usa, you don't call out an item by it's name, you rfer to it by it's brand: "i heard you got a new car" "no, i got a ford"
14:58 any05568291 looks the same as the old, different fuel line fittings, naturally
14:59 any05568291 so i cannot install them without a trip to town and $10 more in fittings, which add to the length, so it won't fit the space
14:59 rue_house I'm sure its nothing the kat of the outh cant deal with
15:00 any05568291 in over 40 years of getting my paws dirty on cars, i have never bought a fuel or air or water or oil related item that fit where the oem item fit
15:01 rue_house well when you get a starship built, its not 'finished' when you get it, you keep the crew on to tune and mod things with your engineers, construction goes on for a long time after they start being used
15:01 y05568291 not
19:28 any05568291 the stack of adapters at each end to fit the pump to the truck, is longer than the pump is, and i still haveto cut the flare end off the oem fuel line
