00:34 e_shop3 chokes up some pan
00:35 any21952487 i pre fer fresh...
00:35 e_shop3 shrugs and goes back to the 3d pri
00:36 any21952487 can you make 3D pancakes on a hotplate?
00:36 rue_shop3 were filament wires not usually yellow off the transofrmer?
00:36 any21952487 6.3 = yel , 5v = grn
00:37 rue_shop3 on this vfd, they are blue
00:37 rue_shop3 I suppose they didn't know
00:37 any21952487 those are 12v,10v bias, iirc
00:38 rue_shop3 hmmm
00:39 any21952487 if you have no red, then blue = red
00:40 any21952487 red = B++++++
00:41 rue_shop3 I'll check with my toung...
00:41 any21952487 you sure it's a power transformer, and not an output transformer?
00:42 any21952487 oh, you have a pair of blue, prolly not output
00:45 any21952487 do you have pair of black, pair or red, pair of blue,, and maybe a white?
00:48 any21952487 Sola made ferroresonant transformers, the black was mains in, the red was an ac capacitor, the blue was output, and the white went to gnd as a internal shield
00:48 any21952487 i still have a couple, but mine aren't solas
00:49 any21952487 they run hot as fire, even with no load
00:49 rue_shop3 its a desktop calculator
00:49 any21952487 oh,, maybe blue is 27v then
00:49 rue_shop3 brown, black, white, yellow, red, blue, blue
00:50 rue_shop3 to the pcb
00:50 any21952487 i expect blue is the display power
00:50 rue_shop3 iirc white is the centretap on the blue
00:50 rue_shop3 blue is the filament
00:50 rue_shop3 had 1 ohm each side of filament
00:50 any21952487 the calc has filaments?
00:51 rue_shop3 vfd screen
00:51 rue_shop3 hows the trailer?
00:51 any21952487 paint i put on yestaerday is still tacky at sundown today
00:51 any21952487 i'll weld it tomorrow, i have it down the driveway at the barn door, ready to go
00:52 rue_shop3 shoudl I make a joke asking if its a tacky colour? I dont think its a safe play on words...
00:53 any21952487 technically, it in't acolor, it's black
00:53 rue_shop3 I dont think single tones are tacky, only if they are mixed badly
00:53 rue_shop3 ah, thats a good point too
00:53 any21952487 i may wanna go over some of it in grey someday
00:53 rue_shop3 black is my favorite chromatic level
00:53 rue_shop3 I have a throbbing headache
00:53 any21952487 it looked interesting in black with the deck still clean "white" steel
00:54 any21952487 obviously, a traielr deck won't ever stay white
00:54 rue_shop3 .. you did a steel deck!?
00:54 any21952487 yeas?
00:54 rue_shop3 I thought it was wood!
00:54 rue_shop3 and that you still had clamps to weld down for the wood
00:54 rue_shop3 wow
00:55 rue_shop3 plate or bar?
00:55 any21952487 <blink>
00:56 any21952487 i have pics, will mogrify and upload them
00:56 rue_shop3 ok
00:56 rue_shop3 I'm going to maybe eat and maybe fall asleep
00:56 rue_shop3 in an unknown order
00:56 any21952487 then should i bother to do this or not?
00:57 rue_shop3 yes
00:57 rue_shop3 even if its not till tommorow morning, I'd like to see
00:58 any21952487 http://designerthinking.com/images/trailer-medium/DSCF6690m.jpg
00:58 any21952487 http://designerthinking.com/images/trailer-medium/DSCF6692m.jpg
00:58 rue_shop3 that was fast
00:59 any21952487 but the deck is painted black now, cept where i'll be welding it down to the frame
00:59 rue_shop3 thats sure a nice trailer
00:59 rue_shop3 ooo mesh!
00:59 any21952487 sturdy walk-on-able mesh too
00:59 rue_shop3 somehow I was thinking 1/2" plate :)
00:59 any21952487 and it's flat, not cheese-grater
01:00 rue_shop3 cool
01:00 any21952487 no, that's the deck of the truck behind
01:00 rue_shop3 !? is it one sheet?
01:00 any21952487 i can always toss a sheet of 1/4 osb onto it if i need solid
01:00 rue_shop3 I C no seam...
01:00 any21952487 one sheet
01:00 rue_shop3 wow
01:01 any21952487 why wow? you buy it in 1ft squares?
01:01 rue_shop3 your driveway as all the makings for a stacked potatogarden
01:01 rue_shop3 well, i'm only aware of it in 4x8
01:02 any21952487 comes in 5x10 too, i had them cut a 4'3" and 8'1" outa it, which is why i dragged it into town for the fitting
01:02 rue_shop3 it the flatbed running ok?
01:02 any21952487 yeas
01:02 rue_shop3 you have so many cool things
01:02 any21952487 up in the air a lil so i can put square tube recievers in the front
01:04 rue_shop3 is that the driveway before it gets to the house? looks like its solid rockbed, dont think I seen it beofre
01:04 any21952487 rough concrete pour from when i had the redymix trucks out to pour footings
01:04 any21952487 had them dump the leftovers in the driveway
01:04 rue_shop3 aaaah
01:05 any21952487 i am the ONLY one out there who can drive up their driveway and never get stuck
01:05 rue_shop3 if society didn't have you chained down you'd prolly be running the state by now
01:05 any21952487 maybe
01:06 rue_shop3 http://www.ebay.com/itm/12V-DC-Brushless-Water-Pump-for-Fountain-Fish-Tanks-Garden-Plants-Ponds-Black-/141459962732
01:06 rue_shop3 lift pump for water from shallow well for irrigation
01:06 any21952487 i got the tires to test burn chips off them, but my back is just not up to manually collecting the wood to co-fire with them
01:07 rue_shop3 http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-DC-12V-70W-0142-Motor-High-Pressure-Diaphragm-Water-Self-Priming-Pump-6L-Min-/251618758634
01:07 rue_shop3 sprinkler head pump, could do 4 to 16 small spray heads
01:07 rue_shop3 and I suppose I could zone the yard...
01:07 any21952487 http://www.ebay.com/itm/12V-DC-Brushless-Water-Pump-for-Fountain-Fish-Tanks-Garden-Plants-Ponds-Black-/141459962732 <<= won;t make any pressure
01:08 rue_shop3 right, it'll just keep the well dry and the tank fuller
01:08 rue_shop3 then the second pump does the hefty bit
01:08 rue_shop3 the well is about 36"
01:08 rue_shop3 has 8" of water in it now
01:08 any21952487 6l/min isn't much spray, but it will have pressure,, there may be so little spray none reaches the ground
01:09 rue_shop3 think small spray heads
01:09 rue_shop3 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Drip-Irrigation-Micro-Sprays-with-10-32-NFT-Male-Thread-Base-bag-of-50-/261322247298
01:09 any21952487 of course
01:09 rue_shop3 0.37 to 1.5 L/min
01:09 any21952487 you will need a fine filter on the **input** to that positive displacement pump
01:10 rue_shop3 the pump says it can do 6lpm at 12V, so I'm guessing at, maybe 18V..
01:10 rue_shop3 yea
01:10 rue_shop3 I have some ~ 250L tanks
01:10 rue_shop3 and I still have a groundwater problem, so if I can work out hwo to drill a few more small wells
01:11 rue_shop3 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Submersible-Water-Pump-Aquarium-Fish-Tank-Fountain-Pond-Pump-DC-3W-5-5V-12V-1PC-/361095606938
01:11 rue_shop3 I'm wondering if that could keep up with the well
01:12 any21952487 groundwater problem = too little water?
01:12 rue_shop3 but its only 1.5m lift
01:12 rue_shop3 too much
01:12 rue_shop3 there is a river of water behind the shop
01:12 rue_shop3 the well is in the bank just uphill of it
01:13 any21952487 i think http://www.ebay.com/itm/Submersible-Water-Pump-Aquarium-Fish-Tank-Fountain-Pond-Pump-DC-3W-5-5V-12V-1PC-/361095606938 is just to make gurrgling sounds
01:13 rue_shop3 the idea was the create a lowpoint in the watertable beofre it gets to the shop
01:14 rue_shop3 if the well could keep up, in 2 hours it could fill one of the tanks
01:14 any21952487 can you hit the bottom of the well in the bank by driving sideways into the bank?
01:14 rue_shop3 assuming that at 1.5m its flow in't 0lpm
01:15 rue_shop3 ok, well, I'll get the two larger ones then
01:15 rue_shop3 oh hell its $4, I'll go for broke and get them all
01:15 any21952487 save power, siphon water out?
01:17 rue_shop3 cant, the well cant keep up
01:17 any21952487 flow restrictor in the siphon
01:17 any21952487 aka " valve"
01:18 rue_shop3 reverse toilet valve
01:18 any21952487 ummmm
01:21 any21952487 route the siphon, put a T at the highest point, detect water in well, pump water into the t for 10 sec, then shut off pump, let gravity finish draining the well
01:24 any21952487 i found a trick to drying clothes outside: wait till midnite, if the air is clean they have finished burning garbage, hand wet clothes in barn, 9" fans on low to move the air around over the clothes, they should be dry and unsmelly in morning
01:25 any21952487 i have them hung from the bridge crane,, *everything* around here does more than one function
02:54 rue_shop3 I tuend the printer
02:54 rue_shop3 printed some hose caps
02:54 rue_shop3 and a small and useless pulley
09:03 Tom_itx <Tom_itx> rue what's equivalent to a batch file in linux?
09:03 Tom_itx <Tom_itx> cd to directory
09:03 Tom_itx <Tom_itx> run a settings.sh
09:03 Tom_itx <Tom_itx> and execute the program
12:30 rue_house a shell file
12:30 rue_house what are you up to?
12:30 rue_house you can call the files anything you want,
12:30 rue_house start it with #!/bin/bash
12:30 rue_house and chmod it to 777 or whatever
12:31 rue_house then invoke it with a prepended ./
12:31 e_house tries to wak
12:31 rue_house Tom_itx, wtf you doing up at 7am on a sunday?
12:43 Tom_itx screwing things up
12:55 rue_house did something come unscrewed?
12:57 Tom_itx the default jumper wasn't shipped in the default position
12:57 Tom_itx uploaded the eeprom file to the fpga instead
12:57 Tom_itx now i'm screwed until i get a jtag
12:58 Tom_itx and a fpga bit file
12:58 rue_house you have a jtag programmer dowsnt you?
12:58 rue_house that cnc machine is kicking your ass
12:59 Tom_itx i do but i don't think it will work on these devices
12:59 rue_house :/
12:59 Tom_itx that was the spare pcie board
12:59 rue_house thats what I figured
12:59 Tom_itx i diagnosed the other one to one or three bad buffer chips
12:59 rue_house have any hair left on your head?
12:59 Tom_itx with the pcie in the pc now, it won't boot
12:59 Tom_itx so i need 2 pcs to recover it
13:00 Tom_itx one to power the board and one to program it
13:00 rue_house oh, they take the pcie bus right to the fpga?
13:00 Tom_itx yup
13:01 Tom_itx http://store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=product/product&filter_name=6i24&product_id=301
13:01 any32276359 life seemed so much easier with the VIC20, before all this ibm pc crap happened
13:01 rue_house I hope I dont hear that everything happened to be out in the driveway while a large catapillar was going down the road
13:02 rue_house Tom_itx, you can see why I dont want to get into those fancy cards for my cnc machine
13:02 Tom_itx it's mostly op error
13:02 Tom_itx they are very good cards
13:02 Tom_itx and i don't mind reprogramming them
13:02 Tom_itx it's actually kinda fun
13:03 Tom_itx because it's new
13:03 Tom_itx and i'm learning
13:04 Tom_itx i did a file for another dude, never seen the board before and it worked great
13:05 Tom_itx i don't think i have the firmware for the FPGA though, it's something i'll have to get from him
13:06 Tom_itx i should have checked the jumper
13:06 any32276359 "breathing out carbon dioxide, which at concentrations of about two percent - at standard atmospheric temperature and pressure - will kill you."
13:08 any32276359 but your robots with go on, "tsk tisk"'ing at your fragility
13:08 Tom_itx until they blow a circuit
13:08 any32276359 Scientists estimate a safe oxygen consumption of 50 liters per hour for a human. Meanwhile, a leaf gives off about five milliliters of oxygen per hour. A person would need to be in a room with about ten thousand leaves.
13:08 any32276359 About 300 to 500 plants would produce the right amount of oxygen, but it's much harder to estimate the amount of carbon dioxide the plants absorb, especially if every time a person breathes out, they inhibit oxygen production.
13:12 any32276359 way to control your own information:
13:12 any32276359 when Josh was accused of molesting his sisters, a family friend wrote down the accusations in a letter that was then placed in a book in the Duggars’ home. Sometime during 2006, the Duggars loaned the book to another person and the letter was discovered.
13:15 any32276359 hello
13:20 any32276359 wierd, this is aimed at males of the species, but seems to me would be good list for females also : http://jezebel.com/32-additional-competent-things-men-do-that-we-find-sexu-1705601569
13:32 any32276359 why did what i say make you guys stop talking?
14:21 rue_shop3 nothing, I was installing shelvs in the greenhouse
15:42 Tom_itx well the digilent board still works but i don't think it's jtag will work on the new chips
15:42 Tom_itx still had it's counter program in it
15:45 Tom_itx friends from china are sending me one
