09:39 PM Tom_L: for testing things
09:39 PM ruenahcmohr: well, If I'm going to put almost 700 into new hard drives, I might as well spend $1.50 on the pcb's I designed and make another osh order
09:39 PM ruenahcmohr: I need a new core for this machine
09:39 PM ruenahcmohr: motherboard/cpu/ram

09:42 PM Tom_L: costly mistake
09:42 PM ruenahcmohr: I print a paper template to make sure the zero is in the right spot
09:42 PM ruenahcmohr: I need to make sure I put an UP on them
09:42 PM ruenahcmohr: its ok, it'll DO
09:42 PM ruenahcmohr: just not quite what I wanted
09:46 PM Tom_L: what's it for?
09:51 PM rue_shop3: mounting a motor to a gearbox
09:52 PM Tom_L: looks like some of your A8 material
09:52 PM rue_shop3: no, its some stuff thats too thin
09:52 PM rue_shop3: 4.6mm
10:23 PM ruenahcmohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/tempimage/p1270701.jpg
10:26 PM Tom_L: looks like it might work
10:27 PM aandrew: whatcha building now
10:27 PM aandrew: and did you manage to get the template the right way round this time
10:28 PM ruenahcmohr: thats a new gearbox for 'arm6'
10:28 PM ruenahcmohr: http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/robots/arm6/slide.htm
10:29 PM ruenahcmohr: I'll need one more like that toooo
10:30 PM ruenahcmohr: I was trying to set it up for force feedback, but its not playing out
10:30 PM ruenahcmohr: for force feedback, you need big motor and low, backdrivable gear ratios
10:31 PM ruenahcmohr: 20:1 or less
10:50 PM ruenahcmohr: I think that ones about 36:1
10:50 PM ruenahcmohr: but a larger motor too
10:50 PM ruenahcmohr: I need to make a mouning bracket for it
