04:07 AM Tom_L: led ballast?
04:25 AM polprog: Morning
04:27 AM rue_mohr: heh, if you say so
04:27 AM rue_mohr: its only 2:30am tho
04:27 AM rue_mohr: I'm pondering how many turns to use for the 70V winding on the converter I need to make
04:27 AM rue_mohr: I'm thinking 50-100
04:28 AM rue_mohr: can you work out the volt-seconds of a half sine-wave?
04:28 AM rue_mohr: oh wait I can do this
04:29 AM rue_mohr: the area under a cycle of a sine wave is 0
04:29 AM rue_mohr: you divide that in half, and thats 0
04:29 AM rue_mohr: then you multiply by the peak voltage
04:29 AM rue_mohr: so thats 0
04:29 AM rue_mohr: then multiply by the time, and thats 0
04:29 AM rue_mohr: so, its zero
04:46 AM polprog: ive been replacing my desk with my sisters desk
04:46 AM polprog: shes getting new furniture
04:46 AM polprog: and her desk is the same width as my lab bench was, and 20 cm deeper
04:46 AM polprog: its that 20cm i was always missing
04:47 AM polprog: because originally the lab bench was in front of the window, so part of it was the windowsill. later i moved it against the wall and it was missing that 20cm that used to be the sill
04:48 AM rue_mohr: :)

10:59 AM aandrew: damn dude it's good to see you're still on this side of the dirt
10:59 AM aandrew: I thought you had died drowning in asian women
11:35 AM spline: ha
11:36 AM spline: I have an old mediatemple vps a friend set me up with 10y ago? forgot about it, honestly, for 3y. still up. same deal. debian 8.0. so im like fuck it and am mining shib on it
11:36 AM spline: im sure this violates the TOS but whatever. I don't use it for shit. I have two other vps w/ramnode
05:03 PM Tom_itx is now known as Tom_L
05:51 PM MoonyMoon: https://paste.debian.net/1216537/
05:52 PM Tom_L: what's that part?
05:52 PM MoonyMoon: adapter place for attaching a inch and a half pipe fitting wall flange to the back of a TV
05:52 PM MoonyMoon: plate*
05:53 PM Tom_L: oh
05:53 PM MoonyMoon: MAKE A SWEET TV HANGER :D
05:53 PM Tom_L: is this a rue project?
05:53 PM MoonyMoon: nah Its mine
05:53 PM MoonyMoon: I whiped it up just now
05:53 PM Tom_L: gonna mill it?
05:53 PM MoonyMoon: Whipped??
05:54 PM MoonyMoon: :P yeah I need Rue's machine to mill it
05:56 PM Tom_L: oh that should be simple
05:56 PM Tom_L: just 8 holes
05:56 PM MoonyMoon: yeah its pretty basic
05:56 PM Tom_L: and an engraved nameplate
05:57 PM MoonyMoon: its great when you can do something cool with somethign simple and it all comes together like butter on toast ;)
05:58 PM Tom_L: o
05:58 PM Tom_L: i'm trying to write a post for my cad cam
05:58 PM Tom_L: for a rotary axis
06:00 PM MoonyMoon: I'm not sure what you mean. I'm kinda a beginner
06:01 PM Tom_L: the post takes the drawing and generates gcode to output to the cnc
06:01 PM MoonyMoon: oh server side stuff that takes a post header?
06:01 PM Tom_L: they are machine specific
06:02 PM Tom_L: it's a file the cnc uses to translate the drawing cutter path to something the cnc can recognize
06:03 PM MoonyMoon: ok. Is it a simular process to how Rue has me use CamBam to change my dxf to tool paths? your writing a traslation like that?
06:03 PM Tom_L: somewhat yes
06:03 PM MoonyMoon: ok cool.
06:03 PM Tom_L: this takes the tool path and writes out the file the cnc can read
06:04 PM MoonyMoon: Oh, one layer away from what I'm thinking?
06:04 PM Tom_L: yup
06:04 PM MoonyMoon: cool
06:04 PM MoonyMoon: well, i'm off to Rue's
06:04 PM MoonyMoon: peace :)
06:04 PM Tom_L: takes ------- and outputs G1
06:05 PM Tom_L: takes ------- and outputs G1 x7
06:34 PM rue_shop1: MoonyMoon here, I'm at Rues now. Just want to mention I looked doen at my pipe flange and its inch and a quarter not half.
08:15 PM Tom_itx: i'm kinda getting the hang of the rotary on my cad
08:16 PM spline: always wanted to do a 4th axis (a)
08:16 PM spline: on a router or mill
08:17 PM spline: aspire (vectric) That I use can handle it
08:24 PM Tom_itx: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN9aw9094ag
08:25 PM Tom_itx: now i have a test file to write the post for a rotary
08:25 PM Tom_itx is now known as Tom_L
11:21 PM Tom_L: hah
11:21 PM Tom_L: i've got rotary output but i dunno if it's right
11:21 PM Tom_L: if it is, it appears it will do more than just index
11:21 PM Tom_L: it may profile in a rotational pattern
11:22 PM Tom_L: it's a little tricky programming it though
11:22 PM Tom_L: i'm not sure i have the work coordinate system right
11:41 PM rue_mohr: mom is really upset at me
11:41 PM rue_mohr: she borrows things, forgets their mine, and doesn't bring them back
11:41 PM rue_mohr: I been putting my name on things to help them get back
11:41 PM rue_mohr: and she's taking it as a personal attack
11:41 PM rue_mohr: arg
11:42 PM rue_mohr: not sure how to make sure my things dont walk and not upset her
11:42 PM rue_mohr: its not just here, I'm having issues with all sorts of people walking off with things or using things up
11:43 PM Tom_L: lock the doors
11:43 PM Tom_L: that happens with an open door policy
11:43 PM Tom_L: friends or not
11:46 PM rue_mohr: its hard when she's taking it as a personal attack
