01:17 AM rue_shop3: polprog,
01:28 AM rue_shop3: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32838996205.html
01:28 AM rue_shop3: is that the board, or is it a different board?
01:28 AM rue_shop3: you know, THE board...
11:41 AM polprog: rue_shop3: it's very similar to *the* board but not quite
11:41 AM polprog: it has the jtag and probably the same FPGA but it has more outputs, so the pinout is different
11:41 AM polprog: the FPGA pinout*
11:42 AM polprog: THE board is 5A-75B, this is 5A-75E
12:28 PM rue_mohr: oh, so its better?
12:29 PM rue_mohr: should I get one? hmmm
08:19 PM aandrew: I figure you'd just weigh the tank
08:39 PM rue_mohr: no
08:39 PM rue_mohr: that weight system is silly
08:39 PM rue_mohr: I cast by actual volume
08:39 PM rue_mohr: oh
08:39 PM rue_mohr: the propane
08:39 PM rue_mohr: no I want to know how many castings (averaged) I get per tank
09:50 PM aandrew: man moving sucks
09:51 PM aandrew: I've been working really hard to organize shit, and the stuff that's not enough to go into its own box is photographed and put into labelled banana boxes
09:58 PM rue_mohr: mmm
09:58 PM rue_mohr: moving will kill ya
09:58 PM rue_mohr: not literally
10:03 PM aandrew: yep

10:06 PM aandrew: that's the basic idea
10:09 PM rue_mohr: I fear moving into a new shop
10:09 PM rue_mohr: it took me a long time to recover from the last move
10:09 PM aandrew: giving my dad all of the lumber, couple workbenches, my welder. oldest son wants the air tools, no room for anything else, and I've already given a ton of stuff to a ukranian famiily I met
10:10 PM aandrew: yeah the only real bonus here is that it's FORCING me to get organized which is good
10:10 PM aandrew: I'm using obsidian (basically markdown editor on steroids) to document everything so I can scroll through the gallery and clikc on something and it'll tell me which box it's in
10:11 PM rue_mohr: I suppose it all depends on your future ambitions
10:13 PM aandrew: what do you mean
10:16 PM rue_mohr: if you dont expect to need anything the desire to keep any of it would fade
10:21 PM aandrew: theoretically but I'm a packrat too as you can see
10:25 PM rue_mohr: ahh, yea not familiar, I only keep things that might come in handy some day :]
10:25 PM aandrew: lol
