12:25 AM aandrew: "low cost EDM" "arc generator: EUR3000
12:27 AM rue_mohr: not the one he's building
12:27 AM rue_mohr: he used a 60V supply, a 100uF cap and a thing that could have just been a 555
12:29 AM rue_mohr: he says everything in the videos too
12:30 AM rue_mohr: it just does't want to do the work for people
12:37 AM rue_mohr: some cute humor in there
01:30 AM aandrew is now known as Guest36996
01:57 AM polprog: electronic dance music generator
01:57 AM polprog: I got my power supply :) !
02:16 AM rue_mohr: :)
05:39 AM c-log is now known as Guest31543
09:06 AM rue_mohr: polprog, the 5532?
09:10 AM polprog: yes
09:10 AM polprog: they are all dead
09:26 AM rue_mohr: what
09:27 AM rue_mohr: centered signal...
09:42 AM polprog: yeah, signal 1vpp, supplies are 10 and -10 v
09:42 AM polprog: i can test them again but ugh
09:42 AM polprog: maybe some are okay, but the signal was referenced to ground, so there was headroom on either side
09:42 AM rue_mohr: polprog, would you like a higher level layer for your 44780 lcd stuff? I have one that prints hex bytes/words and decimal numbers to 3,5,+ digits
09:43 AM rue_mohr: hmm
09:43 AM polprog: sure
09:51 AM rue_mohr: did you put + on pin 7 or 8?
09:55 AM polprog: yes
09:55 AM polprog: pin 7

02:58 PM Tom_L: https://blog.adafruit.com/2021/05/17/siemens-acquires-supplyframe-hackaday-tindie-too/
02:59 PM Tom_L: rue_mohr, they own your ass now :/
06:09 PM aandrew: wow
06:44 PM rue_mohr: wow
06:44 PM rue_mohr: why would hackaday sell?
07:10 PM Tom_L: they want yer arse
07:11 PM aandrew: I've seen him in person. not a bad arse at all :-)
07:11 PM rue_mohr: it just seems strange
07:12 PM Tom_L: maybe they want the ideas from there for free
07:14 PM Tom_L: 2 videos after pid tune coming
07:14 PM aandrew: yeah it does seem like a weird acquisition
07:14 PM rue_mohr: :)

07:26 PM Tom_L: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7PcbEKrtkI
07:26 PM Tom_L: notice how it bogs starting the cut on that last one?
07:26 PM Tom_L: pre tuning
07:33 PM rue_mohr: hard to tell I can see some speed change
07:34 PM Tom_L: when it enters the material prior you can hear it bog down
07:34 PM rue_mohr: heh no sound, ok
07:34 PM rue_mohr: pretty big bit
07:34 PM Tom_L: .375
07:37 PM Tom_L: i got a few of those but will mostly use .250
09:40 PM rue_shop1: Tom_L, your owner of #robotics
09:40 PM Tom_L: am i?
09:40 PM rue_shop1: heh yea
09:40 PM rue_shop1: I know
09:40 PM Tom_L: i knew i had one somewhere but forgot which one
09:41 PM rue_shop1: I remember it as, one of us is avr and the other robotics
09:41 PM rue_shop1: but I never remmeber who was who
09:41 PM Tom_L: you figure out how to transfer it and you can have it
09:41 PM rue_shop1: I did create a robotics on that new server thing, tell me if you want to own it
09:41 PM rue_shop1: hah
09:41 PM rue_shop1: not worried about it
09:42 PM rue_shop1: I got one of my discrete bushings done
09:42 PM rue_shop1: I suppose I need 4 :(
09:42 PM Tom_L: i got better things to do
09:42 PM rue_shop1: np
09:42 PM Tom_L: they're pretty well behaved now though
09:42 PM rue_shop1: like I said, not worried
09:42 PM rue_shop1: yep
09:42 PM Tom_L: nobody's left
09:42 PM rue_shop1: maybe there will be no reason to
09:43 PM rue_shop1: I dunno
09:43 PM rue_shop1: I have a foot in each of 3 boats right now
09:43 PM rue_shop1: so I'll post pics of the discrete bushing
09:43 PM rue_shop1: I dont think I can get large bearings for cheap
09:43 PM rue_shop1: otherwise it'd probably be a good idea
09:43 PM Tom_L: doubt it
09:43 PM rue_shop1: oh but I know someone
09:44 PM rue_shop1: I wonder
09:44 PM Tom_L: unless you can think of something cheap that uses them
09:44 PM rue_shop1: how many times can I fork objectives?
09:44 PM Tom_L: what about roller bearings?
09:44 PM rue_shop1: I know a great scrap metal collector
09:46 PM Tom_L: car wheel bearings might not be so bad
09:47 PM Tom_L: i got a big one left over from my washer kit
09:47 PM Tom_L: they sent 2 and you used one depending on the model
09:47 PM rue_mohr: yea the scrapper is my otyher thought
09:48 PM rue_mohr: wow, there is waste
09:48 PM rue_mohr: I was throwing out all the extra parts for a universal exit sign today
09:48 PM rue_mohr: you know, the 1/3 of the kit that you get rid of cause its all extra junk after you assemble what you need
09:49 PM Tom_L: i got lots of extra oddball screws etc
09:52 PM rue_mohr: they stack up dont they
09:53 PM Tom_L: too much so
09:58 PM rue_shop1: so after that youtube video yesterday I want make an EDM machine
09:59 PM Tom_L: hah
09:59 PM Tom_L: i've seen commercial ones
09:59 PM Tom_L: wedm
09:59 PM Tom_L: they go thru a ton of wire
10:00 PM rue_shop1: or dies }:)
10:01 PM rue_mohr: it just happens that I have one ton of edm wire
10:01 PM rue_mohr: just 1 tho
10:03 PM Tom_L: use it sparingly
10:04 PM rue_mohr: yea, learn fast
10:04 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/tempimage/p1190747.jpg
10:04 PM rue_mohr: you saw the drawings
10:04 PM rue_mohr: no idea if this will work
10:05 PM Tom_L: wtf
10:05 PM rue_mohr: remeber the drawings?
10:05 PM Tom_L: yeah
10:05 PM rue_mohr: each of the 4 will hold a nylon block that bushes up against the shaft
10:05 PM Tom_L: is that just like a pillow block?
10:05 PM rue_mohr: 4 part bushing
10:06 PM rue_mohr: think like motor brush holder
10:06 PM Tom_L: mmm
10:06 PM Tom_L: i'd like to see the cad model sir
10:06 PM Tom_L: i mentioned that ddos we did on rucas.. flyback hi 5'd us
10:07 PM rue_mohr: rucas!! that was it
10:07 PM rue_mohr: he was one of the project guys on freenode
10:07 PM rue_mohr: so he said
10:07 PM Tom_L: yeah
10:07 PM Tom_L: aparently flyback knows him
10:08 PM rue_mohr: he sounds like he moves around a lot
10:08 PM rue_mohr: hmmm, maybe these images should be going in the cnc machine folder
10:09 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/tempimage/p1190688.jpg
10:09 PM rue_mohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/tempimage/p1190689.jpg
10:09 PM rue_mohr: maybe I should wait and see if it plays out
10:25 PM rue_shop1: amazing, it was only raining WHILE I was out doing the welding
10:25 PM rue_shop1: its almos a clear sky now
10:26 PM Tom_L: hah
10:34 PM Tom_L: i'd get prepared to get kicked from here. alot of the big channels are getting forced
10:35 PM Tom_L: not sure by whom but just get ready
10:41 PM darkrose: might just have to switch to ##
10:54 PM rue_mohr: is that what its about?
10:54 PM rue_mohr: Tom_L, ?
10:54 PM rue_mohr: is it a # vs ##
10:55 PM rue_mohr: or are they just on a killing rampage
10:55 PM rue_mohr: Tom_L, you have the dalnet connection eh?
10:55 PM rue_mohr: I got a garfield in there
10:59 PM darkrose: from what I can see, they're moving abandoned # channels to ##
10:59 PM rue_mohr: ok
10:59 PM rue_mohr: I wonder what abandoned means
11:00 PM rue_mohr: should I get liberachat ops to owner me #avr?
11:00 PM darkrose: "we moved to random-other-network" in the topic seems to be the main thing
11:01 PM darkrose: so their just turning old project channels into topical channels, and locking the project channels till someone claims them
11:01 PM darkrose: s/their/they're/
11:02 PM darkrose: https://freenode.net/policies <- see the 'Channel ownership' section
11:02 PM rue_mohr: oh ok
11:02 PM rue_mohr: I dont know if I like living in fear
11:05 PM aandrew: I wonder what they hope to accomplish
11:05 PM aandrew: it's just driving the mass exodous
11:05 PM rue_mohr: Tom_L, left robotics for less drama than this
11:06 PM rue_mohr: I wonder if there wont be a network to maintain once their done
