08:06 AM aandrew: rue_mohr: ... "drying" ?
09:23 AM rue_mohr: it rained wheile they were out
09:30 AM rue_mohr: hahah
12:27 PM aandrew: rue_mohr: just get the benny hill theme playing whenever you are doing a time elapse build, and maybe vangelis chariots of fire when you're doing something at normal speed
01:03 PM polprog: lol, try Kevin McLeod
01:03 PM polprog: or chiptune
01:03 PM polprog: im sure there are no recording agencies that claim rights to chiptune
01:22 PM rue_mohr: its background music in the shop, but I dont understand why it hasn't all been weeded out yet
01:22 PM polprog: forgot where the radio is?
01:22 PM rue_mohr: there couldn't be that many with a bit of music in the background
01:23 PM rue_mohr: well I'm muting it now
01:26 PM rue_mohr: so, if I were making a capacitor substitution box, I'm wondering what values I'd do
01:26 PM rue_mohr: probably .. 1nF - 2uF ?
01:26 PM rue_mohr: not sure if it would work out as well
01:27 PM rue_mohr: capacitors are usually high freq stuff, and that doesn't take well to transport
01:27 PM polprog: thats just more challenging
01:27 PM polprog: maybe.. you could do a length of coax as the input
01:27 PM polprog: should be good to a couple megs?
01:28 PM polprog: alternatively, manhattan style.. with relays
01:28 PM rue_mohr: I have those switches too
01:28 PM rue_mohr: the thumbwheel ones
02:07 PM rue_mohr: sun came out
02:07 PM rue_mohr: time to do some welding
02:14 PM polprog: nice
02:14 PM polprog: its been pretty chilly here today
02:38 PM Tom_L: 1nf - 2F in 1nf increments
02:39 PM Tom_L: hi 81
02:39 PM Tom_L: F
02:39 PM Tom_L: but a different F
04:26 PM rue_shop2: huh
04:27 PM rue_shop2: computer shut down and lots all my browser tabs
04:27 PM rue_shop2: both things being odd
04:27 PM rue_shop2: tho, I'd just replaced a cap and put a new ram stick in
04:28 PM rue_shop2: I built the charger into ma's power cart for the yard
04:28 PM rue_shop2: but its got a "disable cause the charger is plugged in" signal
04:28 PM rue_shop2: so I need to work that out
04:28 PM rue_shop2: wont go otherwise
10:07 PM zhanx_ is now known as zhanx
10:50 PM rue_shop1: hmm
10:51 PM rue_shop1: got a small core pushing 1/4w
10:51 PM rue_shop1: two transistor oscillator
10:51 PM rue_shop1: with the transformer doing the feedbcak
11:03 PM Tom_L: rue_shop1,
11:03 PM Tom_L: how to set up a static ip where it doesn't let you enter a subnet mask
11:09 PM Tom_L: trying to get the rpi connected to another board
11:10 PM Tom_L: the other board works and it's ip is 10.10.10.10 so generally i set up a static ip on the pc as 10.10.10.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
11:13 PM Tom_L: guess i'll attack it more tomorrow
11:17 PM zhanx: Tom_L, still here?
11:17 PM Tom_L: yes
11:17 PM zhanx: 2 ways
11:18 PM zhanx: router via mac address or edit ip tables
11:18 PM Tom_L: i just verified the target board is set right from a pc
11:18 PM Tom_L: now to get the rpi working at that address
11:18 PM Tom_L: no router involved
11:18 PM Tom_L: rpi to board
11:19 PM zhanx: k
11:19 PM Tom_L: i'm sure there's a way. i know a guy doing it
11:19 PM zhanx: use ip 10.10,10.x
11:20 PM Tom_L: right. i set the rpi to 10.10.10.1
11:20 PM zhanx: look in /etc/network/interfaces
11:20 PM Tom_L: on the ipv4 settings
11:20 PM zhanx: k
11:20 PM Tom_L: i stuck it in the box for tonight
11:21 PM Tom_L: hang on
11:21 PM zhanx: oh and you might need to do an edit /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head for your dns
11:25 PM Tom_L: interfaces say to consult dhcpcd.conf for static ip
11:26 PM zhanx: iface NAMEOFPORTETHERORWIFIinet static
11:26 PM zhanx: iface NAMEOFPORTETHERORWIFI inet static
11:26 PM Tom_L: it has the entry there
11:26 PM zhanx: address 10.10,X.X
11:26 PM zhanx: netmask 255.255.255.0
11:26 PM zhanx: gateway 192.168.X.X
11:26 PM zhanx: dns-nameservers X.X.X.X
11:26 PM Tom_L: but it's not complete because i didn't know what to put there
11:26 PM zhanx: address is what you want
11:27 PM Tom_L: domain_name_servers=
11:27 PM Tom_L: domain_search
11:27 PM Tom_L: routers=
11:27 PM zhanx: leave them blank
11:27 PM Tom_L: those are blank
11:27 PM Tom_L: add the netmask?
11:27 PM Tom_L: no gateway
11:27 PM zhanx: i would unless you run a custom one
11:27 PM zhanx: and the gateway is your router
11:28 PM zhanx: you are using 10.10 when you should be using 198.162 (10,10 is business reserved)
11:28 PM zhanx: but its your network not mine
11:29 PM Tom_L: the only thing on it is the pi and the board
11:29 PM Tom_L: nothing else
11:29 PM Tom_L: that's why
11:29 PM zhanx: k
11:30 PM zhanx: you know how to restart the internet without rebooting?
11:30 PM Tom_L: i used to
11:30 PM zhanx: sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0
11:31 PM zhanx: sub the eth0 for the name of it from ifconfig
11:32 PM zhanx: seems like i am not here a lot but when i am here Tom_L needs help and i am just in time
11:32 PM zhanx: think i sprained a muscle/lig in my shoulder
11:37 PM Tom_L: i'll ask the guy tomorrow how his is set
11:37 PM Tom_L: and you should be more careful
11:38 PM zhanx: its like in the inner rotor cuff area and it was a lite work out
11:38 PM zhanx: getting old sucks
11:38 PM Tom_L: you're young
11:39 PM zhanx: i have the joints of an 85 year old man
