09:13 AM polprog: Some TV modules came in yesterday
09:13 AM polprog: Some PAL decoders and such
09:14 AM polprog: but im at the grapndparents so no lab time
09:30 AM rue_mohr: k
06:42 PM Tom_L: mmm, netsplits are getting more frequent again
06:51 PM Tom_L: rue_mohr, in your pile of plastic gears what is the predominant gear pitch found?
08:48 PM rue_mohr: yea, we measure that along the pitch radius, right?
09:07 PM Tom_L: teeth per inch
09:07 PM Tom_L: i guess
09:07 PM rue_mohr: yea, along the pitch radius
09:07 PM rue_mohr: all I have to do it pull a datasheet for one of the gears...
09:07 PM Tom_L: i had a wild thought and was looking at involute gear cutters etc
09:08 PM rue_mohr: ;)
09:08 PM Tom_L: probably won't get any though
09:08 PM rue_mohr: their big cash
09:08 PM Tom_L: they come in sets of 8
09:08 PM Tom_L: to cover the various diameters
09:09 PM Tom_L: but
09:09 PM Tom_L: in order to do it i would also need a dividing head for the mill
09:12 PM rue_mohr: maybe THAT is your next project, a rotary axis...
09:12 PM rue_mohr: does the controller have room for an A motor?
09:13 PM Tom_L: yes
09:13 PM Tom_L: i wired it in, just no driver
09:15 PM Tom_L: but my cadcam won't do full rotary control. only indexing so getting a manual indexing head is just as attractive
09:16 PM rue_mohr: so, I was invited to a field at a housing place to collect some poppy seeds
09:16 PM rue_mohr: brought ma along,
09:16 PM rue_mohr: one of the tennants called the cops

09:52 PM rue_mohr: ok
09:52 PM rue_mohr: I suppose I could strip circuit baords...
09:55 PM rue_mohr: ok, just dont burn my fingers this time
09:55 PM Tom_L: you use an oven?
