00:00 rue_shop3 charged thru a 10M resistor with a 5V supply
00:00 rue_shop3 a microcontroller loop counting the rise time
00:00 rue_shop3 300 counts dry
00:00 rue_shop3 650 counts in 7" of water
00:01 rue_shop3 I'm impressed I could do it
00:01 any36383192 how long does it take to charge the gap?
00:01 rue_shop3 working out how to make a sensor that isn't all trippy about its proximity to *anything*, thats going to be an interesting puzzle
00:01 rue_shop3 300 counts :)
00:02 rue_shop3 dunno
00:02 rue_shop3 16Mhz,
00:02 rue_shop3 16 mips, prolly about 8 instructions
00:03 any36383192 8 instructions? then how can it count 300?
00:03 rue_shop3 :) its raining
00:03 rue_shop3 I meant the count loop is prolly 8 instructions
00:03 rue_shop3 so 8*300
00:03 any36383192 o
00:04 rue_shop3 the local bolt store in amazing
00:04 rue_shop3 nonally did they have 7/8 x 8" bolts in stock, they had course and fine thread
00:04 rue_shop3 so I got my 4x of them
00:04 rue_shop3 grade 8
00:05 rue_shop3 I'm surprised how well grade 8 machines
00:05 any36383192 might stong bolts, 1 could prolly lift your whole house
00:05 any36383192 strength != hardness, actually
00:05 rue_shop3 the design limit is the pressure on the inside of the roller against the pin
00:05 rue_shop3 aluminum roller
00:06 rue_shop3 its the grade tensile strength?
00:06 any36383192 yeas
00:06 rue_shop3 or sheer?
00:06 rue_shop3 hmm
00:06 any36383192 aka, "you can't bend this one"
00:06 rue_shop3 if it machines well I suppose its not awesome sheet strength
00:06 rue_shop3 sheer
00:07 rue_shop3 1 minute, goodbye...
