08:36 PM rue_shop1: i know why it doens't work!!!!
08:36 PM rue_shop1: i know why it doens't work!!!!
08:36 PM rue_shop1: i know why it doens't work!!!!
08:36 PM rue_shop1: I didn't hook up the signal!!!!
08:39 PM rue_shop1: it says 63 degrees
08:39 PM rue_shop1: cycle time is 500us
08:39 PM rue_shop1: the output is 85us diff
08:39 PM rue_shop1: 61.2
08:39 PM rue_shop1: damn close!
09:19 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/projects/filterprof/lowp1k-bode.png
09:19 PM rue_mohr: !!!
09:20 PM rue_mohr: so, when the return amplitude gets too low, the readings go a bit crazy
09:20 PM rue_mohr: and apparently its got some sensitivity to really low phase angles
09:20 PM rue_mohr: but yea!
09:25 PM rue_mohr: the 45 degree mark lands damn close to the -3db mark
09:49 PM Tom_L: what are you gonna use this for?
10:22 PM rue_shop3: profiling filters
10:22 PM rue_shop3: down to servos
10:22 PM rue_shop3: like, mechanical systems
10:23 PM rue_shop3: 1Hz low end :)
10:23 PM rue_shop3: up to 40kHz
10:23 PM rue_shop3: but I just discovered that the phase signal is jittering all over the place, need to work that out, but it explains the lack of quality in the phase readings
10:24 PM rue_shop3: it should be stable within 2/400 of a degree
10:40 PM SmallSteps: hi guys
10:41 PM Tom_L: yeah yeah
