12:31 AM rue_mohr: it dials from about 900Hz to 9kHz
12:31 AM rue_mohr: ish
12:31 AM rue_mohr: so I can do an XY with freq/amplitude
12:31 AM rue_mohr: I'll set a fixed tone in one ear and have her adjust the volume of a sweep in the other ear
12:31 AM rue_mohr: it prints out the two analog channels in csv friendly format
12:31 AM rue_mohr: I should be able to xy plot it
12:32 AM rue_mohr: hmm
12:33 AM rue_mohr: well, tell me when you have time and I can give ya the DMA code I did
12:33 AM polprog: sure
12:33 AM rue_mohr: its pretty basic
12:34 AM polprog: it will be next week hopefully... today is optics and on friday maths 3 so if i pass both this week im free

12:35 AM rue_mohr: I like when I get on a thing like the FFT or the position sensors

12:44 AM * aandrew is an over easy kind of guy
08:18 AM aandrew: lol
08:18 AM aandrew: someone made the mistake using "silicone" and not "silicon" to talk about computers taking over society eventually
08:19 AM aandrew: the exact quote: "But society would still not actually collapse. It would just evolve from a meat based society to a silicone based one."
08:19 AM aandrew: some smart ass replied "If you frequent certain gentlemen's establishments you will notice that meat has already mostly been replaced by silicone."
08:04 PM MoonyMoon: rue_mohr: !
08:13 PM MoonyMoon: do I see a couple of new faces?
08:18 PM MoonyMoon: a supreme empress from australia, and a spline who knows how to get all the power ups in Gradius
08:18 PM aandrew: someone keeps letting the riff raff in
08:19 PM Tom_L: who left the door open?
08:19 PM MoonyMoon: :P
08:19 PM MoonyMoon: blame Rue
08:20 PM MoonyMoon: I like new people though :)
08:20 PM aandrew: well he did invite me and darkrose, and I invited spline
08:21 PM aandrew: so yeah it is kind of his fault :-)
08:21 PM aandrew: he's too busy tweeting about frozen hard drives to defend himself
08:21 PM MoonyMoon: Ha no doubt
08:21 PM MoonyMoon: the one in his freezer?
08:25 PM aandrew: think so
08:26 PM MoonyMoon: its been in there for sooooo long XD
10:04 PM rue_mohr: hey
10:05 PM rue_mohr: I'm backing up a 2G partition at 950k/sec
10:05 PM Tom_L: late to the party
10:05 PM Tom_L: can you image them?
10:06 PM Tom_L: macrium reflect works great for backups
10:06 PM rue_mohr: MoonyMoon, I'm putting the backup on that drive we found when putting togethor the old machine
10:06 PM Tom_L: fast
10:06 PM rue_mohr: I'm doing a 1:1
10:06 PM Tom_L: it will clone or image
10:07 PM rue_mohr: I need to be sure I dont screw up this drive I have, I think its the only correct bootable one I'v got
10:07 PM rue_mohr: 1683357696 Feb 1 19:55 partimg.img
10:07 PM rue_mohr: 1.6G / 2G copied
10:07 PM rue_mohr: its over a USB adapter
10:07 PM Tom_L: oh gawd that's slow
10:08 PM rue_mohr: uhu
10:08 PM rue_mohr: 2G will be ~33 mins

10:12 PM rue_mohr: oh 2.1G
10:12 PM rue_mohr: ugh
10:13 PM rue_mohr: Tom_L, did you see the sine waves from the DMA?
10:14 PM Tom_L: yes
