12:45 AM rue_mohr: https://hackaday.com/2019/09/01/scrapyard-milling-machine-gets-work-done-on-a-budget/
12:50 AM rue_mohr: huh
01:22 AM zhanx: Evening
01:23 AM zhanx: cat was waiting for food like i was starving it
01:32 AM rue_bed: ey
01:33 AM zhanx: so the blower motor for my a/c / heater died
01:33 AM rue_bed: k
01:33 AM zhanx: brushes are worn out
01:33 AM rue_bed: 1/3hp 1720?
01:34 AM rue_bed: h
01:34 AM rue_bed: h
01:34 AM rue_bed: oh
01:34 AM zhanx: car
01:34 AM zhanx: i opened the sealed motor and turn the brush around. it slow but it works
01:35 AM zhanx: i did that in a parking lot between jobs today
01:35 AM rue_bed: well done
01:36 AM zhanx: figured you would complain if I couldn't fix a motor with brush issues
01:36 AM rue_bed: heh
01:36 AM rue_bed: so, I need to make sure I stay focused on projects
01:37 AM zhanx: its only running about 25% speed, but it will last till i replace it. and its so worn replacement is the correct option
01:37 AM zhanx: check lists?
01:37 AM rue_bed: I realized I should use brushes for linear bushings on the 3d printers
01:38 AM rue_bed: zhanx, oh I have LOTS f lists, they dont help
01:38 AM zhanx: lol same here
01:39 AM zhanx: SO i am home late due to a company saying I over charged 13.25 minutes to them
01:39 AM zhanx: I went to the site to deinstall all the equipment for them since they didn't want to pay for it
01:41 AM zhanx: after the manager was like cool take it out, I called them up, had the manager say hi and turned it off
01:41 AM zhanx: they paid me
01:53 AM rue_mohr: mhm
01:53 AM rue_mohr: blacklist right?
01:54 AM zhanx: yep
01:55 AM rue_mohr: was one of the managers involved named mohammed?
01:55 AM zhanx: no Scott
01:55 AM rue_mohr: hmm
01:56 AM rue_mohr: if I have
01:56 AM rue_mohr: for { for { if () { break;} } }
01:56 AM zhanx: but all the security camera adjustment's / installs where India IT support
01:56 AM rue_mohr: the break should only leave the inner for, right?
01:56 AM zhanx: should only yes
01:56 AM rue_mohr: huh
01:57 AM rue_mohr: for(i = 0; i < bytes; i++) {
01:57 AM rue_mohr: for(retry = 0; retry < 4; retry++) {
01:57 AM rue_mohr: program(segment+address+i, buffer[i]); // this should rety a few times and then error out
01:57 AM rue_mohr: waitReady();
01:57 AM rue_mohr: if (buffer[i] == read(segment+address+i)) break;
01:57 AM rue_mohr: }
01:57 AM rue_mohr: if (retry == 4) {
01:57 AM rue_mohr: USART_printstring("Write failure address:");
01:57 AM rue_mohr: always says verified
02:04 AM zhanx: weird its not working for you
12:26 PM rue_mohr: I checked that its not just static retention on the pins, its not
07:41 PM rue_mohr: I'm gonna re-loop to verify the block instead of one byte at a time
07:46 PM Tom_L: what we working on now?
07:47 PM Tom_L: figure out the seatbelt indicator?
07:49 PM rue_shop1: oh yea
07:49 PM rue_shop1: no
07:49 PM rue_shop1: my eeprom programmer
07:49 PM rue_shop1: the write verification code would NOT co-operate
07:51 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/mtkflash/flash_howto_index.php
07:51 PM rue_shop1: its a 2M A290021 chip
07:55 PM rue_shop1: ah, it looks like it was capacitance on the bus after the write holding the value
07:55 PM rue_shop1: think I nailed it
09:53 PM Tom_L: what do you know about octopi?
09:56 PM rue_shop1: nothing
09:56 PM rue_shop1: pi varriants are comming up like mushrooms
09:57 PM Tom_L: no, it's a web interface
09:57 PM Tom_L: you still use the arduino control
09:58 PM Tom_L: but you can control it from anywhere
09:59 PM rue_shop1: hmm
10:00 PM Tom_L: https://octoprint.org/download/
10:00 PM rue_shop1: oh I think I'v heard of it
10:00 PM rue_shop1: not interested tho
10:00 PM Tom_L: considering i don't have a printer i'm not either
10:01 PM rue_shop1: trying out a serial interface I made up for keyboards
10:05 PM Tom_L: printers seem to be getting better
10:06 PM rue_shop1: how so?
10:06 PM Tom_L: been around a while just like everything, they're bound to improve
10:06 PM rue_shop1: aha, ok got the serial demo working
10:07 PM Tom_L: what's it for?
10:07 PM rue_shop1: Tom_L, everyone says their improving, but really, nothing has changed
10:07 PM rue_shop1: I need to make a little fancy timer for the water dispenser
10:07 PM rue_shop1: I thought it a fine opportunity to make a generic serial interfaced keyboard circuit
10:07 PM rue_shop1: and if I use a serial lcd, I can pull the whole thing off with a t13
10:08 PM rue_shop1: keybaord, lcd, and solinoid output
10:10 PM rue_shop1: the mechanics push 13.333ml water/second
10:10 PM Tom_L: water dispenser for what?
10:10 PM rue_shop1: kitchen
10:10 PM rue_shop1: auto metered dispensing for things like rice, tea, etc, etc
10:11 PM Tom_L: keurig does that
10:11 PM rue_shop1: ...? ok
10:11 PM Tom_L: kids got one since they work long odd hours
10:11 PM rue_shop1: sure
10:12 PM rue_shop1: I flooded the kitchen twice using it manually
10:12 PM rue_shop1: :/
10:12 PM Tom_L: test it outside
10:12 PM rue_shop1: oh I can just watch it
10:12 PM rue_shop1: 13ml/sec
10:15 PM rue_shop1: latley I'm seeing my life as surreal and its giving be perspective
10:16 PM rue_shop1: sometiems a bit too much ;)
10:16 PM rue_shop1: ok, where have I written code to clock in data from a shift register...
10:26 PM rue_mohr: dac
10:29 PM rue_shop1: er, adc
