[00:34:59] <katsmeow> rue, Tom, do you know about hacking/driving olde monochrome lcd screens off laptops? (asking for someone else)
[00:40:45] * katsmeow cranks Beggars Opera singing MacArthur Park
[00:42:33] <rue_shop3> evil stuff kat,they need compelx refesh
[00:43:07] <rue_shop3> there are usually, about 4 shift registers in parallel for rows, and another register for columns
[00:43:16] <katsmeow> it's not just draw, repeat?
[00:43:21] <rue_shop3> they dont remmeber pixels
[00:43:34] <rue_shop3> you have to keep a refresh rate
[00:44:17] <katsmeow> guy wants to use a multicore propellor cpu to drive an old screen he has
[00:44:29] <katsmeow> cannot find data on monochrome lcds
[00:44:32] <rue_shop3> yup,. prolly kept it pretty busy
[00:44:39] <rue_shop3> would you like a sample?
[00:45:27] <katsmeow> of what?
[00:46:04] <rue_shop3> ah here we go
[00:46:15] <rue_shop3> see datasheet for...
[00:46:28] <rue_shop3> LM200
[00:46:35] <rue_shop3> Ithink
[00:46:58] <rue_shop3> hold on
[00:47:21] <rue_shop3> HDM44104
[00:47:22] <katsmeow> nope
[00:47:55] <katsmeow> that's for leeeeeeetle lcds
[00:48:04] <katsmeow> he has a olde b&w laptop
[00:48:29] <rue_shop3> yea they all works the same
[00:48:38] <rue_shop3> I'm trying to find a chip that can be looked up
[00:48:45] <rue_shop3> I have this one on paper
[00:48:49] <rue_shop3> its not helping
[00:49:42] <rue_shop3> I'll find another chip stand by
[00:50:34] <rue_shop3> T6A40
[00:50:54] <katsmeow> http://category.alldatasheet.com/index.jsp?Searchword=LCD%20DRIVER
[00:51:03] <rue_shop3> its on digchip
[00:51:47] <katsmeow> http://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/31133/TOSHIBA/T6A40.html
[00:51:57] <rue_shop3> the partner is t6A39
[00:52:54] <rue_shop3> one of the datasheets is supposed to have the app note for using the two to make a module
[00:53:16] <rue_shop3> if you compare the T6A39 and T6A40, you can see what they are up to
[00:53:17] * katsmeow cranks Tommy James and Shondels singing Sweet Cherry Wine
[00:55:22] <rue_shop3> the bigger screens just use more lines in parallel
[00:55:27] <rue_shop3> Iv seen up to 4
[00:55:27] <katsmeow> ly> how, even crystalfontz.com mentions it:
https://www.crystalfontz.com/controllers/Toshiba/T6A39
[00:55:28] <katsmeow> ly> err how = wow
[00:55:46] <rue_shop3> you saw the datasheets tho right?
[00:55:51] * katsmeow nods
[00:55:54] <rue_shop3> k
[00:56:02] <rue_shop3> they all are an evil form of that
[00:56:09] * katsmeow thanks you , he is maybe to shy yet
[00:57:22] <rue_shop3> ok, I'm in a crazy project rotation here
[00:57:39] <rue_shop3> but I just finished making an adapter plate for the router so I can put it in a table
[00:57:54] <rue_shop3> I'll need to find plywood to make a table top from
[00:57:56] <katsmeow> yeas, a table inset into a table
[00:58:10] <rue_shop3> so not I'm working on the bandsaw
[00:58:17] <rue_shop3> and the cnc machine
[00:58:25] <katsmeow> use a plastic-coated table, like melamine, so the wood slides easier
[00:58:39] <rue_shop3> wood?? :)
[00:58:41] <rue_shop3> aluminum
[00:58:44] <rue_shop3> but yea
[00:58:52] <rue_shop3> find an old counter top
[00:58:57] * rue_shop3 thinks
[00:59:00] <katsmeow> T6A04A Column and Row Driver LSI for a Dot Matrix Graphic LCD
[00:59:51] <katsmeow> set it on the bowl of a $4 stainless steel sink from the recycler, hook the drain to the shop vac?
[01:00:02] <katsmeow> ly> yes, thank him :-)
[01:00:35] * katsmeow cranks Crystal Blue Persuasion
[01:00:42] <rue_shop3> uh ho, this pin is drilled crookid
[01:01:36] <rue_shop3> oh, it wont matter
[01:02:36] <rue_shop3> I have an idea, and if I dont stop to figure out if it'll work, it just might
[01:03:29] <katsmeow> if not, apply power tools to it later
[01:03:48] * katsmeow cranks some Edison Lighthouse
[01:08:59] * katsmeow cranks some german Beat Club from 1970, with Eric Burdon featured
[01:10:57] <katsmeow> strange to ssee bands like Humble Pie in live performances, intro'd in German, back when they were young, 45 yrs ago
[01:11:51] <katsmeow> and mostly in color
[01:13:27] <rue_shop3> arg, I need 1/4" plate steel
[01:13:42] * rue_shop3 turns the shop upside down for even a small piece
[01:14:13] <katsmeow> i have it in 4x8 and 5x8 and smaller sizes
[01:14:49] <katsmeow> up to 1" tick even,, and a few pieces 2.25" thick
[01:16:11] <rue_shop3> hahah I have a peice of flat bar left over from my lathe table!!!!
[01:18:44] * katsmeow briefly cranks some Foreigner
[01:24:24] * katsmeow cranks some olde Free
[01:25:07] <rue_shop3> oooooh, I cnt do that
[01:25:21] <katsmeow> which one?
[01:26:53] <rue_shop3> I cant use the nice big triable I wanted to cause the pulley needs to go on
[01:27:51] <katsmeow> a big pulley on a triable? why?
[01:28:12] <rue_shop3> top [pulley on bandsaw
[01:30:01] <katsmeow> i need to mod my bandsaw, or build another, so there's no twist in the blade, and the throat is deep
[01:30:17] <katsmeow> for cutting sheet and small forms
[01:34:09] <katsmeow> i think i would not start a bandsaw with less than 3" channel on both sides of the wheels
[01:35:05] <katsmeow> could use lighter stock, but then you'd need to brace it and be bothers by the stresses of the table when you put sideways weight on it
[01:35:33] <katsmeow> best just use heavy stuff and make it be part of the main structure
[01:35:36] <rue_shop3> ARG this should be tig'd
[01:35:48] <katsmeow> sticks work for me
[01:41:32] * katsmeow should goto bed
[22:44:42] <katsmeow> don't forget, Humans season 2 was on tonite (but it's a tv show with robots)
[22:51:04] <katsmeow> don't forget, Westworld was on tonite (it's a tv show with robots)
[22:52:00] <katsmeow> don't forget, Elementary was on tonite (not about robots unless you consider having Aspergers similar to a robot)

[23:42:45] <katsmeow> it natively outputs ntsc !!! , but has $10 adapters to make hdmi or vga
