01:16 AM rue_bed2: I think the easiest way to do a voltage -> hobby servo pwm is an arduino
01:23 AM rue_bed2: for someone at random to try to do
04:26 AM Tom_L: it will be very quiet then
09:07 AM aandrew: rue_bed2: I am disappoint, son. I was sure you'd provide a 555 circuit, MAYBE a 556 if you were feeling lazy
09:22 AM rue_mohr: If I use an arduino, almost anyone can do it
09:23 AM rue_mohr: funny enough, https://www.arduino.cc/en/tutorial/knob is all thats needed
09:23 AM rue_mohr: so, I don't have to even write the code
09:30 AM rue_mohr: actually, I suspect that an arduino is more accessible to more people than the LM555 and arbitrary resistors
09:55 AM aandrew: it makes my heart hurt a bit how microcontrollers have replaced stuff that is super simple with discretes
09:56 AM rue_mohr: well yes and no, there is a lot of lazy out there
09:56 AM rue_mohr: and there always has been
09:56 AM rue_mohr: in 1967 Brenners FFT code was a mashup of two other pieces of code
04:09 PM polprog: heh, our mech prof does fortran 90 programming
04:09 PM polprog: rue_mohr: doing POTS at work today :P?
04:10 PM polprog: that first line was re: FFT code
04:10 PM polprog: tell me, did we eventually find the original FFT code?
06:43 PM rue_mohr: there was a 100pr that had to be terminated in a hurry for no reason
06:43 PM rue_mohr: polprog, that was brenners code, we dont know what he glued it togethor from
06:43 PM rue_mohr: but I recall its the work of 2 others
07:15 PM polprog: right
09:39 PM rue_mohr: and the world went silent
09:53 PM Tom_L: just hiding
