[00:38:24] <zhanx> Evening
[01:21:32] <rue_house> hey
[01:21:54] <rue_house> turns out, the electrical connections in my buddies place are twisted and taped
[01:21:59] <rue_house> like in a car
[01:22:12] <rue_house> by someone who dosn't do things properly
[01:22:34] <rue_house> had some of his lights go out
[01:22:42] <rue_house> I aint rewiring his whole house!
[10:58:32] * any79159166 taps on rue's ankle
[10:58:39] <any79159166> ZHANX!!
[10:58:42] <any79159166> wb
[10:59:01] <any79159166> for rue ands zhanx :
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=medical+robot+paper+airplane
[10:59:42] <any79159166> (the value in searching for collections of random concepts together)
[10:59:45] <any79159166> that is all
[11:04:11] <any79159166-afk> http://phys.org/news/2016-06-airbus-3d-printed-mini-aircraft.html
[11:34:27] <rue_shop3> but kat, its an airbus, it'll crash
[11:52:24] <any79159166-afk> so rebrand it?
[11:52:41] <rue_shop3> oh hi!
[11:52:49] <any79159166-afk> oh lo!
[11:52:54] <rue_shop3> your up early?
[11:53:00] <any79159166-afk> sorta
[11:53:08] <any79159166-afk> just on the puter earlier
[11:53:32] <rue_shop3> weather looks ok, hows it there?
[11:53:49] <any79159166-afk> have not looked, rained before sunup
[11:54:12] <rue_shop3> this happens
[11:54:22] <rue_shop3> speaking up sunup, I need more tea
[11:54:27] <rue_shop3> .. and a shower
[11:54:34] <any79159166-afk> may rain in the next hr, rain possibel all day, butless likely
[11:54:55] <rue_shop3> the one robot arm is doing the marble thing fine for the faire, I'm thinking of making the other two dance
[11:55:08] <rue_shop3> mainly cause its entertaining and not position sensitive
[11:55:10] <any79159166-afk> have them make things
[11:55:21] <any79159166-afk> or select things
[11:55:30] <rue_shop3> arm9 has kinda sloppy positioning
[11:55:36] <rue_shop3> I couldn't make it do the marble thing
[11:55:51] <any79159166-afk> one to put various marbles on the scale, then one to bin them by weight
[11:55:52] <rue_shop3> there was like 5 degrees slop in the main rotation
[11:56:21] <rue_shop3> I also need stuff I can do fast, I'm almost out of time
[11:56:24] <any79159166-afk> or rocks
[11:56:37] <rue_shop3> the consistancy of marbles is nice
[11:56:58] <any79159166-afk> yeas, but someone will say there's alt ways to sort marbels that need to motion
[11:57:04] <any79159166-afk> err
[11:57:08] <any79159166-afk> yeas, but someone will say there's alt ways to sort marbels that need No motion
[11:57:23] <rue_shop3> sure, its all about having fun tho
[11:57:48] <any79159166-afk> you'd make a poor businessman
[11:57:57] <any79159166-afk> wait, you alread make,, err, nvm
[11:58:44] <rue_shop3> yea, I DO make a poor businessman
[11:59:31] <rue_shop3> its quite possable that I actually couldn't get a person dieing of dehydration in the desert to take a bottle of water for free, thats how bad my charisma is
[11:59:41] <rue_shop3> so whatever
[12:00:12] <any79159166-afk> so when can i expect to see a robotic Rueian aircraft approach, flying thru the tree limbs, carrying parts?
[12:00:40] <rue_shop3> there is still a power storage problem
[12:01:22] <any79159166-afk> if you have 50,000 diy-ers print their aircraft overnite to send out a handfull of parts, you'd have a fleet of 50,000 aircraft built overnight
[12:01:57] <any79159166-afk> power problem? why ? with 50,000 automated refueler-airports?
[12:01:58] <rue_shop3> I wonder how large an area you need to cover to find 50000 diy'ers
[12:02:19] <rue_shop3> yea, its about 120km to the next ones from here
[12:02:34] <rue_shop3> its like the australlian neighbour ya know
[12:02:49] <rue_shop3> just 80km down the street
[12:03:13] <rue_shop3> (nextdoor neighbour)
[12:03:16] <any79159166-afk> i think they's be closer, the over-water route from Van island to usa is short, and you can see Van island from the other side of the street, no?
[12:03:43] <rue_shop3> you only get maybe 30-45 mins on an unloaded quad
[12:03:53] <any79159166-afk> a *normal* quad
[12:03:59] <rue_shop3> well, yea
[12:04:07] <rue_shop3> so far its not scaling up much
[12:04:23] <any79159166-afk> helos are notoriously inefficient, note i didn't say helo,
[12:04:25] <rue_shop3> and li-ion batteries are $$$$$
[12:04:43] * any79159166-afk oints to the solar plane that just completed a round-the-world trip with a human aboard
[12:04:46] <rue_shop3> otherwise my truck would be done
[12:05:11] <any79159166-afk> i didn't mention batteries, ditto the inefficency, i'd strongly consider lpg
[12:05:21] <rue_shop3> its like tractor vs ackerman robots tho, the tractor is easier for a computer to operate
[12:05:41] <rue_shop3> I wokred it out
[12:05:50] <rue_shop3> a non-business business card is a contact card
[12:07:04] <rue_shop3> biab, shower, food.... food...hmmm shopping yesterday might have been wise... how much icecream do I need to eat to get my daily intake of breakfast?
[12:07:20] <rue_shop3> only about 1L left...
[12:10:18] <any79159166-afk> 1/2L of icecream in blender, add 1/2L of selected plant matter, keep it chilled, drink thruout the morning
[12:11:05] <any79159166-afk> A plasma tube to bring particles up to speed at SLAC
[12:11:05] <any79159166-afk> June 3, 2016
[12:11:24] <any79159166-afk> heh, i had that idea for aiming lightning bolts, in the 1980's
[12:11:44] <Tom_itx> rue_shop3 will our makefiles work ok with cpp files?
[12:11:52] <any79159166-afk> blast an ion channel theu the air with a laser, apply electricity
[12:12:35] <any79159166-afk> "all that will do is add a charge to the target" ..... "not if it's an AC voltage"
[12:20:02] <any79159166-afk> "the missile targets via radio signals it recieves" ... "how will that be possible if the enemy has made the missile the end point of a charged plasma radio antenna?"
[12:51:47] <rue_shop3> not he makefile from me
[12:52:03] <rue_shop3> my makefile compiles *.c and expects *.h to exist with them
[12:52:51] <rue_shop3> hmm I'v not played with precharged ion paths yet
[12:53:49] <rue_shop3> I have to find good robot dancing music, I dont think enya will make the cut..
[22:08:30] <katsmeow> "Kill Command" has robots in it
[22:09:43] <rue_shop3> hmm
[22:09:51] <rue_shop3> https://youtu.be/slxOrCXxXOg
[22:09:58] <rue_shop3> one of the robots was dancing today
[22:14:34] <Tom_itx> this is starting to make a tiny bit of sense
[22:15:17] <katsmeow> rue, downloading it, eta 4 minutes
[22:15:21] <rue_shop3> np
[22:15:36] <rue_shop3> Tom_itx, did you change softwares?
[22:15:45] <Tom_itx> no
[22:16:05] <Tom_itx> i may eventually though
[22:16:34] <Tom_itx> there is an advanced version with more function calls that i may want to take advntage of
[22:32:05] <rue_shop3> ugh, arm4 is still RS232
[22:36:00] <katsmeow> way to go, rue!
[22:41:58] <rue_shop3> :)
[22:42:13] <rue_shop3> this last robot will be a challange to get going
[22:56:28] <Tom_itx> when is your maker fair?
[22:56:41] <rue_shop3> 11/12
[22:57:00] <Tom_itx> about a week
[22:57:13] <Tom_itx> where at?
[22:57:13] <rue_shop3> yea, I get about 2 hours/workday in the afternoon if I'm lucky
[22:57:24] <rue_shop3> were shipping off friday, so there's only 4 afternoons
[22:57:31] <rue_shop3> vancouver PNE
[22:57:35] <rue_shop3> its the VMMF
[22:58:16] <Tom_itx> at least i'm getting past the language barrier on the examples now
[23:01:33] <rue_shop3> I frogot what your working on
[23:01:51] * rue_shop3 roams around the shop for table-fillers
[23:03:14] <rue_shop3> I could bring arm6 but its awefull large and dosn't do anything yet
[23:12:15] <rue_shop3> the stuff for my show is missing blinking lights
[23:12:26] <rue_shop3> not nearly enough blinking lights in this stuff selection
[23:13:39] <katsmeow> yeas, but robots doing things without blinking lite must be more impressive, it's far more difficult
[23:14:10] <rue_shop3> well, stepper motors provide an easy route
[23:14:21] <rue_shop3> ;)
[23:56:53] <zhanx> Evening
[23:57:00] <katsmeow> mou!
[23:57:17] <zhanx> Long week
[23:57:26] <katsmeow> get a lot done?
[23:57:43] <zhanx> Well garden is done and I am no longer sick
[23:58:16] <katsmeow> i did not know you were sink
[23:58:21] <katsmeow> or sick
[23:58:27] <zhanx> Lost 10 pounds due to a viral thingy
[23:58:52] <katsmeow> i been down too, absolutely no energy, not even to eat
[23:59:07] <rue_shop3> awe, its failing to zero the axies...
[23:59:08] <katsmeow> lost a lil weight too, don't know how much
[23:59:13] <zhanx> Throwing up from both ends sucks
[23:59:19] * katsmeow nods
