12:00 AM katsmeow: had to, to do the retaliation billing for the tarriffs Trump just enacted against them
12:03 AM rue_: do you think a seller would freak if I said to not ship an item, that I was going to pick it up?
12:03 AM rue_: they forced a cupon on me
12:03 AM rue_: hey, does that mean I can resell china things to the usa?
12:03 AM katsmeow: maybe
12:07 AM rue_: katsmeow, well, did I find you a good thing?
12:08 AM katsmeow: where?
12:12 AM rue_: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Infrared-Remote-Control-IR-Receiver-Module-DIY-Kit-HX1838-For-Raspberry-Pi/32347151023.html
12:13 AM katsmeow: it takes a pi and a larger case and power and an OS, it will be $100 just to remote control something? no
12:13 AM rue_: no
12:13 AM rue_: it sells well when you list it with the word pi
12:14 AM katsmeow: pi are not cheap
12:14 AM rue_: its just a remote and IR reciever
12:17 AM rue_: kat
12:17 AM rue_: the word pi is just for advertizing, you do not need a pi
12:17 AM rue_: its just a remote and IR reciever
12:17 AM katsmeow: rue, i am getting really pissed in aotehr channel over making money and the costs of things
12:17 AM rue_: ok, but did you lok at the listing?
12:17 AM katsmeow: no, pi costs too much
12:17 AM katsmeow: you said it's for a pi
12:17 AM * katsmeow looks
12:17 AM rue_: I repeated several times that the word pi is in the listing bceuase it makes it sell better
12:17 AM rue_: its not pi specific
12:17 AM rue_: its like using the word arduino, it makes people look
12:17 AM rue_: you can sell resistors for 2x as much if you say their compatible with a pi and an arduino
12:18 AM katsmeow: it does need something intelligent to recieve the signal put onto the IR
12:19 AM rue_: yup
12:19 AM rue_: I have tiny13 code if you want
12:19 AM rue_: can operate relays via a 74hc595
12:19 AM rue_: if you want
12:20 AM katsmeow: i am too generally pissed atm to make any decisions
12:20 AM rue_: ok
12:20 AM rue_: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/images/pi/IMG23Mar2018_050825.jpg
12:20 AM rue_: would a wall of parts help sooth ya?
12:25 AM rue_: srry about the large robot in the way
12:25 AM * katsmeow noticed it, sitting there, motionless
12:26 AM rue_: its kinda only good at crushing cans
12:26 AM rue_: force control is part of my force feedback project set
12:30 AM katsmeow: i would like ot make some chicken noodles, but don;t want my toth to start hurting again
12:31 AM katsmeow: i hated stopping work outside just because i am in a residential area and it's dark out and i have lots of lites in the barn
12:32 AM rue_: yea
12:32 AM rue_: I stop grinding, but not really welding
12:32 AM rue_: which makes everything peter off to a backup of grinding needed in the morning
12:33 AM rue_: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3D-Printer-CNC-V4-engraving-machine-A4988-Reprap-Stepper-Drivers-Nano-3-0-with-USB/32809594653.html
12:33 AM rue_: ^^ for me
12:33 AM katsmeow: i dug out assorted new steel to make parts with, needed cutting, and need togrind clean some welding
12:34 AM rue_bed: yep
12:35 AM rue_bed: whats left to make?
12:35 AM katsmeow: why is there a blank dip-30 socket on the board ?
12:36 AM rue_bed: for the avr beside it
12:36 AM katsmeow: oh, the lil blue boardplugs in
12:36 AM rue_bed: yea
12:36 AM rue_bed: avr
12:37 AM rue_bed: I still dont understand why your avr wouldn't run when you weren't in debug mode
12:37 AM katsmeow: geese, they like usingheaders, don;t they
12:37 AM rue_bed: maybe the reset line wasn't defaulting correctly
12:37 AM rue_bed: yep
12:37 AM rue_bed: you dont like C either tho
12:38 AM rue_bed: little more laborious to program them in asm
12:38 AM rue_bed: completely doable
12:38 AM rue_bed: I used to
12:44 AM katsmeow: well, when we stopped discussing it, i didn;t touch it again
12:45 AM rue_bed: I didn't think you wanted to
12:48 AM katsmeow: i wanted it to work
12:49 AM rue_bed: must have been the reset line
12:49 AM rue_bed: what was it? an 8515?
12:50 AM katsmeow: tiny2313
12:50 AM rue_bed: ok
12:50 AM rue_bed: would you like to try again?
12:50 AM rue_bed: not now
12:51 AM rue_bed: I'm almost ready to fall asleep
12:51 AM rue_bed: well, about to

12:52 AM rue_bed: yea
12:56 AM katsmeow: i wonder how many of those i bought
12:57 AM katsmeow: i have 200 AT90S4414-8PC
12:57 AM rue_bed: cool
12:58 AM rue_bed: iirc it programmed ok

12:58 AM rue_bed: k
01:03 AM katsmeow: it's one am, and been such a crappy nite, i dunno what to do next, cept wait on dinner
01:09 AM rue_bed: gn
01:11 AM katsmeow: sorry, gn
01:11 AM katsmeow: hope you make the paint can thing work
02:07 PM Tom_L: so, i think the model is ok but the toolpath needs fixed
02:07 PM Tom_L: on the ball mill, it's following the tool tip instead of staying on the positive side of the surface
02:08 PM Tom_L: as it goes further down the surface, the tool radius starts cutting into it too much
02:08 PM Tom_L: i'm pretty sure it's an easy fix
04:47 PM Tom_L: cutter path looks better now
04:47 PM Tom_L: still need to trim it in a couple spots
07:48 PM Tom_L: gonna run a part in a bit i hope
07:49 PM Tom_L: says it'll take about an hour now
08:26 PM rue_: is the cutter the wrong shape?
08:35 PM Tom_L: no it was given the wrong instructions
08:35 PM Tom_L: it was cutting from the tip instead of the actual radius center
08:35 PM Tom_L: so when it came further down on the side it cut stuff it shouldn't have
08:36 PM Tom_L: goin out to run one now
08:36 PM Tom_L: all set up i hope
09:36 PM Tom_shop: 50.38 min
