01:27 any05794988 looks like 64.5 bandsaw blades are most popular and come in most flavors, while 93.5 blades seem to be all under 15tpi
01:29 any05794988 15 is too coarse to cut metals under .064
10:08 any63333872 hot enough : sit in shade and sweat profusely
10:08 any63333872 if anyone cares, i did find one of my reamers will goto 1.125
10:23 rue_bed he has a gen
10:25 any63333872 3ph ?
10:25 y63333872 has a strong deja vu mo
10:26 any63333872 watching cars drag race : deja vrooooom
10:32 any63333872 guy selling off his old CB stuff : 50 ohm 10w resistors, no doubt used as dummy loads
10:32 any63333872 DUMMY loads
10:33 any63333872 WIRE WOUND
10:33 any63333872 <cough>
10:34 any63333872 brought in some 1/2 rod to cut for project,, thought it felt a lil light ...
10:34 any63333872 turns out to be 1/2 OD tubing
10:36 any63333872 rue, you still need any of those 74124 dual vco chips?
10:38 any63333872 10am 90F
10:59 any63333872 when you listen to music, and it's a flute, and then there's cannon fire, and it's the same volume,, don't you wanna strangle the audio persons?
11:00 any63333872 or when the terminator is talking, and then shoots shotgun in bare concrete hallway, and it's the same volume?
11:06 any63333872 push cylinders ==>> http://www.ebay.com/itm/10CC-SYRINGES-ONLY-WITH-LUER-LOCK-10ML-100-BOX-STERILE-/251723508956
11:14 rue_house well I got a bunch of smartphones yesterday
11:14 rue_house I was gonna strip them for parts till I realized they are free mp3 players
11:14 rue_house and then I realized that they can be image viewers
11:14 rue_house and them I realized I might be able to get them to just do pdfs
11:15 any63333872 so you are making sterio headset remote viewers?
11:16 Tom_itx i meant to use the blunt file end on the other edge to make it bigger
11:16 Tom_itx not ideal but it could work
11:16 any63333872 oh, curl up the cutting edge?
11:17 Tom_itx it's already a bad reamer so you can't hurt it further
11:17 any63333872 i had bought several, figuring quality from ebay wasn't 100%, mic'd them and one reaches 1.125 easily, without bottoming
11:18 Tom_itx when i buy my used reamers i always get more than one
11:18 Tom_itx afk
11:23 any63333872 http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-pcs-MC3374-MC3374FTB-low-voltage-FM-Receiver-QFP-32-/181802058262 <<== "enter $0.06 or more" has a high parts count to make it work, and horrible performance overall
11:23 any63333872 you know it's bad when you cannot sell them for $0.006 each on ebay
11:26 rue_house kat hows the band saw
11:27 any63333872 umm, working fine a couple mornings ago, why?
11:28 any63333872 how well can i simulate a pulley if i put lots of tiny ball bearings in an arc instead?
11:28 rue_house cool stuff
11:28 rue_house its one of the last things I heard
11:29 rue_house if they are ball bearings, pretty good I suppose
11:29 any63333872 i have not done any mods to the bandsaw in a year, i think
11:29 rue_house cant see needing more than 3 or so points
11:29 any63333872 i am thinking for the bandsaw blade, each point of ball bearing on the acr is a stress point ?
11:29 any63333872 acr = arc
11:30 any63333872 thinking the cheapest of cheap roller blade bearings, i think i have some
11:31 any63333872 they are metric, i'll put them on 1/4 bolts, the blade shouldn't care, but i wonder if the contact points would be too far apart
11:35 any63333872 on my bandsaw, there's not enough room between the blade and the frame to cut 5" panels out of larger material, and it's stupid to rough cut 5.5" with abrasive discand then re-cut on the bandsaw
11:36 any63333872 incentives to use 64.5 bandsaw blades 1) i can get them online an irl 2) they are common 3) cheap ones are cheap 4) i already use that size anyhow 5) many flavors available in that size
11:37 any63333872 but, when trying to spread out the pulleys and such, all the room is taken up by pulleys
11:37 rue_house if I could just get these to view pdf's, they could be used as tablets around the shop
11:38 any63333872 to read pdf on a 2x3 inch screen?
11:38 rue_house some zoom required
11:39 y63333872
11:39 rue_house these have usb otg, but cant power devices, I wonder if I get a powered usb hub...
11:39 any63333872 i think they would be great readouts for the 3D printer
11:40 any63333872 color even
11:40 rue_house I save a lot of work if I can use them as they are
11:40 rue_house :) I was thinking about getting a new mp3 player anyhow :)
11:40 rue_house a good 8G mp3 player is about $50, these come with a SD card slot }:)
11:41 any63333872 kewl
11:42 any63333872 you know what zhanx would do with them? reprogram them to be sbc bot controllers
11:42 any63333872 prolly have an ARM in them
11:42 rue_house I could do that with an android phone, I know how to program them in C
11:43 any63333872 the salt water in the C doesn't hurt them?
11:43 any63333872 ;-)
11:45 rue_house :)
11:45 rue_house the better ones have wifi
11:45 rue_house and gps...
11:45 rue_house too bad I cant write a C program I could use them as a gps for a robot
11:49 any63333872 i still can't figure a bloody fast way to convert 700Mhz ecl address counter to ttl/lvttl
11:53 rue_house at 20Mhz you can bitbang pwm sine wave at 60Hz
11:54 rue_house I thought that was a really intelligent a+b=c
11:54 any63333872 ok, but i wanted to generate a new 16bit address every 10ns
11:55 any63333872 74F can do 100Mhz in a chip, but not very well for daisey chaining them
11:56 any63333872 ecl is wonderfully fast , can easily count 8bit addys in 2ns , but it's ecl voltage levels and offsets
11:59 rue_house if you could buffer a signal and sync the timing, you could use resistors, where 2.5V = 0 and not 2.5V = 1
11:59 rue_house two resistors make a xor gate
11:59 rue_house with the xor, you can make an inverter
11:59 any63333872 ecl levels are only .9v between 1 and 0
12:00 rue_house with some timing offset, two resistors make an or gate
12:00 rue_house with the not and the or gates, you can make every other gate
12:00 rue_house oh...
12:00 rue_house maybe keep that hush hush eh?
12:01 any63333872 what's a "LUER LOCK" ?
12:01 rue_house user lock?
12:01 any63333872 no
12:02 any63333872 [10:44] <any63333872> push cylinders ==>> http://www.ebay.com/itm/10CC-SYRINGES-ONLY-WITH-LUER-LOCK-10ML-100-BOX-STERILE-/251723508956 <<== qty 100 for $16 free s&h
12:02 rue_house "WAITOR! WAITOR!! THERE IS A PIECE OF POTATO IN MY FLY SOUP!!!!"
12:02 rue_house oh, the end bit with the threads I recon

12:03 rue_house about $30 all done?
12:03 any63333872 sorry
12:03 any63333872 30 cents each
12:07 any63333872 Interestingly, the luer was not formally defined as a standardized small-bore (inside diameter less than 8.5mm) connector until 1986. (It is defined in ISO594-1 and ISO594-2 and described as a �conical fitting with a 6% taper for syringes, needles, and certain other medical equipment.�)
12:11 any63333872 10ml is ~1/4 inch ID ?
12:14 any63333872 i dunno, still seems to me you can't make them double-acting
12:21 any63333872 64kx1 static rams on sale
12:26 any63333872 think of it as a 16bit 74688 , write a 1 to location 23456, and when it sees 23456 again in read mode it's output goes to 1
12:29 any63333872 The CY7C630/1XXA is a family of 8-bit RISC One Time Programmable (OTP) microcontrollers with a built-in 1.5-Mbps USB Serial
12:29 any63333872 Interface Engine (SIE). The microcontroller features 35 instructions that are optimized for USB applications. In addition, the
12:29 any63333872 microcontroller features 128 bytes of internal RAM and either 2 or 4 Kbytes of program memory space.
12:30 any63333872 One Time Programmable
12:30 any63333872 which is why there's 1100 of them sitting on ebay with no bids
12:38 any63333872 "it's a 700Mhz shift register, think of it as a tapped delay line"
12:38 any63333872 "ok, where do you get the 700 Mhz to clock it?"
12:38 any63333872 "uuuuuhhhhhhhhhh...."
12:52 any63333872 not sure if this is thinking out of the box, or thinking in reverse, but if you use wire with clear insulation, you can still color code the alligator clips and not get them mixed up
12:53 any63333872 solves the problem of having green wire with purple agilator clips : don't use any colored wire, use clear
12:54 any63333872 pull the red and black insulation off the ebay stuff, replace with green, use the green wire from skinned recycled sjto cord that someone chopped up into lil pieces
13:06 any63333872 yummy yummy yummy i got soup in my tummy
13:19 any63333872 if i figure i replaced the food from the garden i cannot have with a $2 can of soup per day, for 10 yrs, the neighbors owe me $7,300 for past soup, plus future soup
13:20 any63333872 the loss of solar power is even more $$,$$$
13:24 any63333872 seller got rid of 30,000 ring terminal in one auction, i think for $3.99 + s&h
13:28 any63333872 300 pcs db15 connector no bids
16:56 any63333872 ...
16:56 y63333872 will leave until she can figure out when people will be
21:41 rue_shop3 thats not ging to work if were both doing it kat
