03:50 AM rue_mohr: and I'm awake
04:19 AM rue_mohr: attiny26 is 70c ea
04:38 AM rue_mohr: wow, for a chip I didn't know if I could use for its lack of pins, I SURE have a lot of tiny13 projects
04:50 AM Tom_L: morning
04:50 AM rue_mohr: ugh
04:50 AM rue_mohr: 3 hours sleep?
04:50 AM rue_mohr: :/
04:51 AM rue_mohr: the tiny26 runs a freaking 64Mhz PLL
04:51 AM rue_mohr: so wtf is its default speeeeeed
05:02 AM rue_mohr: looks like I have some makefile stuff for setting it to 8Mhz, but its by fuses so I dont have to worry about it in the code
06:10 AM rue_mohr: wow, the prices on any chips from china went crazy
06:10 AM rue_mohr: even the stuff nobody wants
06:11 AM rue_mohr: I'm not sure if I should do this with a tiny26 or not
06:12 AM rue_mohr: I think I'm a bit late to the game, there is a technology eclipse happening
06:15 AM rue_mohr: the chip prices are crazy
06:15 AM rue_mohr: but
06:16 AM rue_mohr: if I'm selling them, then I just get other people to pay for it
06:16 AM rue_mohr: so, I should use a chip I want to end up with some of
06:23 AM rue_bed: I wonder if I should buy those m32 off ya and build the boards
06:23 AM rue_bed: not sure if this other idea will pay for itself or not tho
07:01 AM Tom_L: U32
08:32 AM rue_mohr: yep, I think they are m32 at heart aren't they?
08:32 AM rue_mohr: avrs seem expensive, but I have to rememeber that they used to be $8 ea
03:53 PM Tom_L: i haven't priced one in several years
03:56 PM Tom_L: $3.83 if you want to wait til 2023
07:58 PM rue_mohr: do you remmeber if those ones you have were 8 ea?
07:59 PM Tom_L: 8 what?
07:59 PM Tom_L: dollars?

08:00 PM Tom_L: hang on
08:00 PM rue_mohr: you got them in prettty good volume
08:00 PM rue_mohr: I think 8 was the 1-off price
08:01 PM rue_mohr: heh, does that database still work?

08:03 PM Tom_L: i'm not even sure how many i have left
08:04 PM Tom_L: i'm not even sure where that box is right now :)
08:04 PM rue_mohr: I need to figure out what to use for microcontrollers
08:04 PM Tom_L: no i was just gonn pack a box and send it
08:04 PM Tom_L: it's not gonna change either way
08:04 PM rue_mohr: sometimes they have weight tiers
08:05 PM Tom_L: i have a couple smallish boxes
08:05 PM Tom_L: you want big hunks of copper or small chunks?
08:06 PM Tom_L: iirc one was 10 x 12 ish and the other looks like about 6 x 8 ish
08:06 PM Tom_L: just guessing
08:08 PM Tom_L: how many U2 do you want?
08:09 PM rue_mohr: I dont know if I'v ever made a board larger than about 4x6
08:09 PM rue_mohr: I can go up to 8.5x11 on the plotter
08:09 PM Tom_L: i forget what that other one was i used
08:09 PM Tom_L: maybe a 13?
08:09 PM Tom_L: for those first programmers
08:09 PM rue_mohr: hah, what do you think of 4 u2 and I'll see if I can use em
