12:00 AM rue_mohr: if I'm lucky, they will not stick to the side of the canada post international sorting machine
12:03 AM katsmeow: lol
12:06 AM katsmeow: if you are lucky, they won;t beat on them with hammers till they stop sticking
12:06 AM katsmeow: and you won;t erase anyone new creditcards
12:06 AM rue_mohr: hahha
12:06 AM rue_mohr: erase all the credits cards
12:06 AM zhanx: ugh sneezed shoulder popped out
12:06 AM rue_mohr: so to put it back you have to unsneeze?
12:06 AM katsmeow: discovered today that i have some 1/2 inch plate 8" wide, just enough to make brake fingers with, held by 3" channel up top and extending into box ~5 inches5
12:06 AM katsmeow: 5.5 inches, maybe, 5.15 is enough to make 3U rackmount boxes
12:08 AM katsmeow: is it a "stepless" transmission if you cheat and use 2 stepped transmissions fedd by separate clutches?
12:08 AM rue_mohr: dunno
12:10 AM katsmeow: if you going to shift to 45th gear, shift the onenot currently engaged, and then toggle the clutches in 1/10 secnd
12:10 AM katsmeow: would you notice?
12:11 AM rue_mohr: prolly depends on the torque
12:11 AM zhanx: 1/10 of a second yes
12:11 AM katsmeow: depends on step size to, i imagine
12:12 AM zhanx: rpms and speed of shift, 1/100th for drag cars
12:12 AM katsmeow: larger engine mounts, so you don;t barkthe tires or twist something important during the shift
12:12 AM katsmeow: 1/100 is awefully fast
12:13 AM katsmeow: i'm sure it can be eve faster, but cost and wear goes up
12:13 AM zhanx: ever shift 6 times in 4.6 seconds
12:14 AM katsmeow: i have prolly manually shifted 1x/second, but canot in this car i have now
12:14 AM katsmeow: if over 5000 rpm, it won;t go into 2nd
12:15 AM katsmeow: altho if i enter 2nd at 3000 and at full turnbo, she will leave ~15 ft of rubebr on a dry road

10:57 PM rue_mohr: katsmeow, did you have a chance to solder in a 7805?
10:58 PM rue_mohr: zhanx, dont dial the step drivers up all the way
10:58 PM katsmeow: no
10:58 PM rue_mohr: its too much stepping too fast for the avr

10:59 PM rue_mohr: you dont need to
10:59 PM katsmeow: rue, bad weather sheduled for Saturday, maybe then
10:59 PM rue_mohr: you just dont use a stupid microstep value
