06:20 PM polprog: well, except for the thesis exam
06:20 PM polprog: i dont have many docs for it
06:21 PM polprog: its gonna provide either a serial bus (smart) or emit a set count of pulses for each coin value
06:21 PM polprog: (dumb)
06:21 PM polprog: idk yet
06:31 PM polprog: i've connected 24vac to the coin acceptors brown and blue cable, but it does not do anything yet
06:31 PM polprog: also, the white-brown is not going to chassis ground
06:31 PM polprog: maybe that is the enable signal
06:31 PM polprog: im afraid i will have to tear it apart and study the PCBs because there is no docs
06:35 PM rue_mohr: is it supposed to be 24vac?
06:36 PM polprog: it says so on the front
06:38 PM polprog: allright, i guess ill do that tomorrow or next time

08:49 PM MoonyMoon: oh yeah, ,liek what?
08:50 PM rue_mohr: well, I was playing with using the signals from the 3 hall sensors as pickups and amplifying them to 4V so that I could work out the absolute angle using the cool maths I found
08:51 PM rue_mohr: but I decided to relax and while printing a click togethor posable minifig I made up some fairy lights for a jat
08:51 PM rue_mohr: jar
08:55 PM rue_mohr: this morning I was learning that there really are no proper tools for breaking down and cleaning up html/css/javascript
08:56 PM rue_mohr: advise often breaks down into "your not using much of this library"

09:00 PM rue_mohr: https://typewriterdatabase.com/img/gRemington%20_1429_1380050554.jpg
09:00 PM rue_mohr: one of those
09:00 PM rue_mohr: turns out the keyboard is just about its own module
09:00 PM rue_mohr: on the bottom
09:03 PM rue_mohr: I really just want to copy the mechanical design for a proper keyboard, but I decided to do this one up as a keybaord itself
09:03 PM rue_mohr: stripdown took a while, looks like making those was a b******
09:04 PM rue_mohr: they had a lot of cool stuff to learn in the way things were designed
09:04 PM rue_mohr: some awesome design work
09:05 PM rue_mohr: I could use a bot called 'wall' that just says mhm every so often
