03:39 AM rue_mohr: its really snowing again
03:47 AM rue_mohr: I'm about 75% down on food supplies
06:09 AM Tom_L: https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/circuit_diagram.png
06:12 AM rue_mohr: ?
06:12 AM Tom_L: new servo driver?
06:12 AM rue_mohr: heh
06:13 AM rue_mohr: you didn't just see that one did you?
06:13 AM Tom_L: no
06:13 AM rue_mohr: I'd feel awful if I'd not shown it to ya
06:14 AM Tom_L: where's the degree symbol in hexchat?
06:14 AM rue_mohr: I'm going thru old photos
06:14 AM rue_mohr: I use google
06:14 AM rue_mohr: "unicode degree"
06:14 AM Tom_L: maybe i have the wrong char set loaded.
06:15 AM rue_mohr: I'm back to 2019 and this stuff feels like yesterday
06:17 AM rue_mohr: so the apple 1 was developed around a smart terminal
06:17 AM Tom_L: U+00B0
06:17 AM Tom_L: nope
06:17 AM rue_mohr: funny they never had a serial port
06:17 AM rue_mohr: copy if off the webpage
06:18 AM rue_mohr: °
06:18 AM Tom_L: i knew what it was in mirc
06:18 AM Tom_L: but that don't work with hexchat
06:18 AM rue_mohr: ^^^ that worked, I'm in hexchat
06:18 AM rue_mohr: ?
06:18 AM Tom_L: yes
06:19 AM Tom_L: you copied it?
06:19 AM rue_mohr: off a webpage
06:19 AM rue_mohr: the search results for "unicode degree" in google
06:19 AM Tom_L: there should be a way to type it
06:19 AM Tom_L: i did
06:19 AM rue_mohr: takes less time to google it
06:20 AM rue_mohr: did you copy the symbol itself?
06:20 AM Tom_L: no
06:20 AM rue_mohr: you need to copy the symbol itself
06:20 AM rue_mohr: nevermind what they say it is
06:22 AM rue_mohr: I should sleep
06:22 AM Tom_L: then get grocerys
06:22 AM rue_mohr: I thought I'd do a simple thing and it took 3 hours cause my machine was checking the raid array
06:23 AM rue_mohr: its 4am
06:23 AM rue_mohr: anyhow
02:30 PM -!- #garfield mode set to +Cnst by zirconium.libera.chat

02:34 PM zirconium.libera.chat changed topic of #garfield to: HEY GIVE ME HALF HOUR TO ANSWER ALREADY
06:08 PM rue_shop3: 3rd sprocket machined...
06:21 PM MassProducedEva: lasaga
07:37 PM aandrew: interesting etching solution that @tarable used: citric acid and h2o2
07:38 PM aandrew: boards certainly turned out very nice
07:45 PM aandrew: polprog: what're you doing with those LED panel drivers? Besides killing them I mean :-)
08:00 PM polprog: im implementing a virtual 8051 on that ecp5 fpga
08:00 PM polprog: and doing other fpga stuffs
08:00 PM polprog: though i just made something totally cursed
08:00 PM polprog: an 8051 based arduino
08:11 PM rue_shop3: WAIT WAIT
08:11 PM rue_shop3: they dont have an arduino compiler for 8051 do they!?
08:16 PM aandrew: I am pretty sure the IDE would look at the 8051 architecture and its tiny little brain would explode like the end of the first Kingsmen movie
08:18 PM Tom_L: was kinda cool
08:37 PM polprog: lol
08:37 PM polprog: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/896865943416864839/927381883787022406/8051duino.png
08:38 PM polprog: I dont think the IDE supports buring eproms
08:40 PM polprog: night
09:34 PM rue_mohr: polprog,.....
09:34 PM rue_mohr: it CAN be self-flashing you know
09:34 PM rue_mohr: use NVRAM OR an eeprom
09:34 PM rue_mohr: nvram is a good one cause you can use whatever you want as ram too
09:35 PM polprog: Yeah, i know
09:35 PM rue_mohr: where is the serial port tho
09:35 PM polprog: Not enoigh space x_x
09:35 PM rue_mohr: put the ram on the back, under the 8051, offset a bit
09:35 PM rue_mohr: rom whatever
09:35 PM polprog: Maybe if I used a PLCC 8051
09:36 PM rue_mohr: and put the latch under it
09:36 PM rue_mohr: dip latch is narrower
09:36 PM polprog: ill add it in another revision
09:36 PM rue_mohr: if you have a gutted socket, the chip fits over it
09:36 PM rue_mohr: .... you gonna make me do it?
09:37 PM rue_mohr: If so, I need to know the rest of your pinout :)
09:37 PM polprog: Ill put it on github later :)
09:37 PM polprog: I should definitely use a plcc 8052, i have a whole bag of them
09:37 PM rue_mohr: tell me you have seen boards with the latch under the memory chip tho...
09:37 PM polprog: I did
09:38 PM rue_mohr: k
09:38 PM polprog: Ill move the latch, i want a serial port there too
09:38 PM rue_mohr: use a dip one tho, narrower
09:38 PM rue_mohr: under
09:38 PM polprog: hmm
09:38 PM rue_mohr: cmon
09:38 PM polprog: Yeah
09:39 PM rue_mohr: the memory chip sits in a socket, so the dip fits under it ok
09:39 PM polprog: It will fit, i remember seeing it a couple times
09:39 PM rue_mohr: kicad will have a FIT about the fences
09:39 PM polprog: Yeah, i know
09:39 PM rue_mohr: I want to know how you tell it to scerw off :)
09:39 PM polprog: :D
09:40 PM rue_mohr: I had to tell it I was putting my thruhole diodes on the backside to get it to shut up for my project
09:40 PM polprog: Ok, 4:30 am
09:40 PM polprog: I have to sleep aa
09:40 PM rue_mohr: did you see my board, the servo one?
09:40 PM polprog: Board? No
09:40 PM rue_mohr: oh, remind me later then
09:40 PM polprog: Ok
09:40 PM polprog: Goodnight
09:40 PM rue_mohr: you need to sleep
09:40 PM rue_mohr: you asleep yet?
09:40 PM polprog: No
09:40 PM rue_mohr: its 4am ya know
09:41 PM rue_mohr: 4:30, almost 5
09:41 PM polprog: Mm
09:41 PM polprog: Night
09:41 PM rue_mohr: your doomed, might as well catch a 1/2hr nap and stay up
09:43 PM rue_mohr: I wonder if you can put the memory under the uc and still have room for the latch under it too
09:43 PM rue_mohr: damn, If I had your schematic I could play
09:43 PM rue_mohr: I have other things to play with
10:56 PM aandrew: https://www.reddit.com/r/Satisfyingasfuck/comments/ru708j/this_is_an_awesome/
10:56 PM aandrew: that's actually kind of neat
