01:12 AM * zhanx_workshop setups up solar tracking
01:29 AM rue_mohr: not worth it
01:29 AM rue_mohr: ok, not worth a commercial kit
02:33 AM zhanx_workshop: rue 3d printing it etc
02:52 AM rue_shop3: its often worth it to spend the resources oversizing the array
02:55 AM zhanx_workshop: by how far?
03:35 AM rue_shop3: I didn't ask
03:36 AM rue_shop3: the numbers come form PV arrays
03:38 AM zhanx_workshop: k
03:39 AM zhanx_workshop: i need 3 watts have 7
03:40 AM zhanx_workshop: its so hot down here i am reverse cycle cant wait for it to cool off
05:40 AM rue_mohr: polprog, ?
05:40 AM rue_mohr: cmon, its 3am, you must be awake

06:22 AM Tom_L: hah, he gave up
12:58 PM rue_mohr: polprog, you back?
01:22 PM rue_shop1: I might have found an lcd that can shoulder-to-shoulder pixels
01:22 PM rue_shop1: need to test it
01:23 PM rue_shop1: might make an ok display for my power upply
01:23 PM rue_shop1: also been trying to fugure out these neon things I have
01:23 PM rue_shop1: got as far as needing to throw a logic analyzer at it
01:24 PM rue_shop1: it seems to be some kinda neon breakover counter with a disable 'grid'
01:24 PM rue_shop1: I think you kinda clock in the display and the neon actually breaks it out to 'pixels'
02:47 PM cheesemaster648: still garf
02:51 PM rue_shop1: ?
02:52 PM cheesemaster648: its the name of the chat
02:59 PM cheesemaster648: so this is internet huh
03:22 PM rue_mohr: yea, its quiet
03:45 PM polprog: yeah, im back
03:45 PM polprog: hello cheesemaster648
03:46 PM * polprog slaps a lasgana at cheesemaster648
03:46 PM polprog: rue_mohr: i may have to attack the SBC with an LA
03:46 PM polprog: i *think* i fixed all the broken traces
03:57 PM polprog: but im not really sure... and desoldering the eprom socket will be a pita now
03:57 PM polprog: i wanna believe i just have a wrong bios
04:20 PM rue_mohr: polprog, did the video work?
04:20 PM rue_mohr: that last one I posted with the drawr of leds?

04:31 PM polprog: the led one works
04:31 PM polprog: the laser ones dont
04:39 PM polprog: still no beeps from the baord.hmmm
05:19 PM polprog: oh hey i built a 555 oscillator!
05:36 PM Tom_L: cool
05:36 PM Tom_L: what for?
05:39 PM polprog: fun
05:39 PM polprog: it doesnt have any capacitors
05:40 PM polprog: probably runs on stray capacitance anyway but i found a way to make a more ring-oscillator style one
05:40 PM polprog: ie. build a logic fallacy
05:49 PM polprog: ruedingus
05:50 PM polprog: where is he
07:21 PM KitchenMoon: rue_mohr: how be your post?
07:21 PM Tom_L: what's cookin?

07:45 PM rue_mohr: insane day for visitors
07:46 PM Tom_L: no, good day for them.. not so good for you?
08:32 PM Tom_L: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUjaSYpyF6k
08:33 PM Tom_L: polprog, ^^
08:46 PM rue_mohr: polprog,
08:46 PM rue_mohr: before you go to bed eh?
08:46 PM rue_mohr: https://twitter.com/RueNahcMohr/status/1294508123437203456 want to know if *that* video just plays for you
08:47 PM Tom_L: ja
08:48 PM Tom_L: they pop back up then you can't get the drawer out again
08:54 PM aandrew: rue_mohr: came up just fine for me (had to press the play button though, it didn't autoplay)
08:58 PM rue_mohr: yea, me and polprog have an issue with my videos where they wont play
08:58 PM rue_mohr: like, you cant
08:58 PM rue_mohr: polprog, downloads them and plays them in another player
09:05 PM Tom_L: mmm
10:00 PM rue_mohr: polprog, ?
10:03 PM Tom_L: so, i've got a 1" and a .5" arbor for the spindle. looking for an abrasive wheel i can use on one of them to use for grinding cutters
10:04 PM Tom_L: not sure if that's a good idea introducing abrasives to the mill
10:04 PM Tom_L: but i could cut form tools for making timing pullies etc
10:12 PM rue_mohr: well, you can give it extra protection
10:13 PM Tom_L: water mist would help
10:15 PM Tom_L: i found a flat flycutter i didn't know i had
10:16 PM Tom_L: (the cutter is perp to the shaft) no relief angle
10:27 PM Tom_L: chainsaw grinder wheels would be ideal but they've got a 7/8" hole
10:27 PM Tom_L: they're nice and thin
10:48 PM zhanx_workshop: my neighbor is cool he brought back my drone when it decided to randomly lose gps
10:48 PM Tom_L: heh, that was nice of him
10:48 PM rue_mohr: hah
10:49 PM zhanx_workshop: it landed next to the cow watering hole he said, about 500 yards from me
10:49 PM rue_mohr: ali order arrived
10:49 PM rue_mohr: this one was quick
10:49 PM rue_mohr: oh jul 28
10:49 PM rue_mohr: hmm
10:50 PM zhanx_workshop: he wants aerial photo of the land so i need to get an sd card for drone
10:50 PM rue_mohr: where is the stuff I ordered before it
10:51 PM rue_mohr: :/ I have to fix up my kernel
10:52 PM Tom_L: tweaking settings?
11:09 PM rue_mohr: tjhe modules are all broken and its repeatedly stupid
11:09 PM rue_mohr: :( I kinda failed on the driveway pillars for this weekend
11:10 PM rue_mohr: I was supposed to have things ready that I didn't
11:10 PM rue_mohr: found out at the last second that I had no pipe I needed
11:10 PM rue_mohr: and then I had a stream of visitors that slowed me down enough to not really get what I htought would be simple done
11:10 PM rue_mohr: batter than no visitors tho
11:15 PM rue_mohr: I have to slot the pipe
11:15 PM rue_mohr: I think I made a jig before so the slot wouldn't rotate, but I'v forgotten and needed to make a new jig
11:15 PM rue_mohr: that took quite a while
11:16 PM rue_mohr: long enough that its too late to be running the router
11:18 PM Tom_L: my neighbor was making noise remodeling something at 4am
11:18 PM rue_mohr: heh
11:18 PM Tom_L: not my favorite neighbor
11:19 PM Tom_L: i know because i make sure my kid gets up for work at 4
11:19 PM rue_mohr: "How did the coffin go last night!"
11:19 PM rue_mohr: "coffin"
11:19 PM rue_mohr: "yea the one I heard you building at 4am last night"
11:19 PM Tom_L: we don't talk
11:20 PM Tom_L: they been blocking my drive with a trailer lately too
11:20 PM rue_mohr: do you get it towed?
11:20 PM Tom_L: i'm considering it since it has no tag
11:21 PM rue_mohr: I think that counts as illegally parked
11:21 PM Tom_L: i'll give it a few days, i think the guy is working on the remodel and hopefully he will dissapear
11:21 PM Tom_L: she's been in and out of jail on drug charges etc so not the best neighbor to have
11:22 PM Tom_L: they've raided her house more than once
11:23 PM rue_mohr: polprog, hah, I think the script that adds the tag on the end of my video leaves it in the wrong format
11:23 PM Tom_L: she was a 'missing person' at one point and they came looking for her
11:23 PM Tom_L: she just wasn't answering the door to them
11:24 PM rue_mohr: so a well being check isn't forign to your area
11:24 PM Tom_L: nope
11:24 PM rue_mohr: :D
11:24 PM rue_mohr: 1 more day....
11:24 PM Tom_L: but we told them she was home
11:24 PM rue_mohr: so embarrassing
11:25 PM Tom_L: she doesn't care
11:25 PM rue_mohr: I was reffering to my stunt
11:25 PM Tom_L: oh
11:25 PM Tom_L: the video format/
11:25 PM Tom_L: ?
11:26 PM rue_mohr: no, the check when you dissapeared
11:26 PM Tom_L: haha that was classic
11:27 PM Tom_L: i just don't broadcast stuff like that
11:27 PM Tom_L: when i'm gonna be gone etc
11:27 PM rue_mohr: I cant say I was wrong tho...
11:27 PM rue_mohr: well yea
11:27 PM rue_mohr: tho, if something had happened, it would have long been over by the time I did it
11:27 PM Tom_L: with all the unemployment etc theft is getting worse
11:28 PM rue_mohr: you ARE in an area where things happen
11:28 PM rue_mohr: tornadoes and things too
11:29 PM Tom_L: not that often
11:29 PM Tom_L: but yeah
11:29 PM rue_mohr: dunno what the most present danger is here
11:29 PM rue_mohr: piece of the space station hitting the house maybe
11:29 PM Tom_L: wild animals?
11:29 PM rue_mohr: na, the bear ran away
11:30 PM rue_mohr: forrest fires are in there
11:30 PM rue_mohr: I'm probably the most dangerous thing to me
