01:24 PM Tom_L: cleared customs
01:28 PM Tom_L: May 24, 2019, 1:47 am
01:28 PM Tom_L: now an empty box is on it's way to rue_mohr
01:37 PM rue_shop1: jhahahha
01:38 PM rue_shop1: I got a package that had been taped back togethor once, the only thing in it was the card of the seller
01:38 PM rue_shop1: but it looked like a machine ate it
01:45 PM Tom_L: i've gotten letters that look like they went thru a paper shredder
01:56 PM rue_mohr: I think they call it a "sorter"
01:59 PM Tom_L: of sorts
07:58 PM rue_mohr: ok, I have a signal profiler
10:04 PM zhanx: Evening
10:21 PM Tom_L: soggy one
10:21 PM zhanx: it is at that
10:23 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/temp/Flood/Flood_canal2.jpg
10:23 PM Tom_L: normally empty
10:23 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/temp/Flood/Flood_canal1.jpg
10:24 PM Tom_L: from opposing bridge
10:24 PM Tom_L: flood canal for the city
10:26 PM zhanx: looks the same around here
10:26 PM zhanx: so much rain
11:41 PM rue_mohr: we had a bit of rain today
11:42 PM rue_mohr: its funny that there is all that water draining away, and there is gonna be a hell-bent-droubt in about 3 months.
11:42 PM zhanx: we got 6" of it
11:43 PM rue_mohr: getting closer with my filter profiler, below about 500Hz, the phase detection comparator is ringing, hopefully that wont be hard to deal with,
11:43 PM zhanx: surprised me the rain gauge read that much as it was a steady rain most of the day
11:43 PM rue_mohr: I still need to code in the phase angle comparison code
11:44 PM rue_mohr: you saving any of the water?
11:44 PM zhanx: i got 2 full drums
11:44 PM zhanx: but remember i live in a swamp
11:44 PM rue_mohr: only?
11:44 PM rue_mohr: hmm
11:44 PM rue_mohr: yea, I live in a rain forest
11:44 PM zhanx: its never dry here
11:45 PM zhanx: i can dig a hole 1 foot deep and get 6" of water in it
11:45 PM rue_mohr: hmm
11:45 PM rue_mohr: my frequency measurement code sets the divider high, gets an initial feel for the freq, resets it and remeasures if it needs to
11:46 PM rue_mohr: I need to figure out how to stitch in phase measureemnt
11:46 PM zhanx: rue_mohr, did you see, i finally got the business all legit
11:46 PM rue_mohr: yea, I didn't know it wasn't :)
11:46 PM rue_mohr: http://paste.debian.net/1083939/
11:46 PM zhanx: same here
11:47 PM rue_mohr: the paint sprayer thing is under $10k/yr, so nobody cares about it
11:47 PM zhanx: i didn't find out till i did my taxes this quarter
11:47 PM rue_mohr: oops
11:48 PM zhanx: mind you i did last years taxes and first quarter taxes already
11:49 PM rue_mohr: maybe if waitedge() returns when the other channel changes
11:51 PM rue_mohr: cant mentally navigate how negitive phase angles will work tho
11:53 PM zhanx: rue_mohr, my job tuesday is epic
11:53 PM rue_mohr: change a fuse?
11:53 PM zhanx: I am swapping something
11:53 PM zhanx: could require a cable run
11:53 PM zhanx: might need power
11:53 PM zhanx: and that is all I know
11:54 PM rue_mohr: hmm, I still dont know if were on the carcastic side of the meter or not ;)
11:54 PM zhanx: Fedex package was 32 pounds
11:54 PM zhanx: no that is literally all i know
11:54 PM rue_mohr: hmm
11:54 PM rue_mohr: ups....
11:55 PM zhanx: Core Tech one the companys I contract alot for called me on it
11:55 PM zhanx: was like umm yea, this is all we have
11:55 PM rue_mohr: if I have the waitEdge() tell me when the other channel changes
11:55 PM zhanx: interupt it?
11:56 PM rue_mohr: I'd need to tell is what polarity to look for
11:56 PM rue_mohr: hmm
11:56 PM rue_mohr: yea, use the interrupt to independently capture the timer value
11:56 PM rue_mohr: I'm watching for a fulll 360 degrees, so it has to happen sometime
11:57 PM zhanx: i kind of see what you are doing
11:57 PM rue_mohr: maybe thats the answer I needed
11:57 PM rue_mohr: bode plotter
11:57 PM rue_mohr: I wont be able to control the signal generator perfectly, so I'm not
11:57 PM rue_mohr: I'm adjusting it and measuring the freq
11:57 PM rue_mohr: and amplitude
11:57 PM rue_mohr: as long as its stable I'm good
11:58 PM rue_mohr: so then, if I'm gonna do that, i need to just set up the interrupt for the edge I'm looking for.
11:58 PM rue_mohr: turn it on, and back off when the measurement is done
11:59 PM zhanx: oh i got the usb mini hub and stuff in for the robot remote
