01:50 AM rue_mohr: yay, the soic20 adapter is good, I was able to program a 16V8
02:05 AM rue_mohr: er
02:05 AM rue_mohr: the plcc20 adapter
04:59 AM polprog: rue_mohr: it's a JH7110
08:36 AM polprog: http://0x0.st/XC59.png
08:37 AM polprog: openCV program for measuring stuff under the microscope
08:37 AM polprog: i got a standard 1um grating from the uni
08:37 AM polprog: borrowed it
08:37 AM polprog: and i just need to add a functionality here to enter a cal mode, where it will take two markers, and a real distance
08:38 AM polprog: so it can give me the dimensions in um
09:31 AM rue_mohr: before you know it you will be able to measure the pitch angle on gears
09:31 AM Tom_L: touch probe
09:41 AM VanUnamed_ is now known as VanUnamed
09:51 AM rue_mohr: a REAAAAALY Tiny one?
09:52 AM polprog: http://0x0.st/XC72.png
09:52 AM polprog: added some more stuff to the status line
09:52 AM polprog: i think ill break it into two lines
09:53 AM polprog: the default opencv font is very wide
09:53 AM rue_mohr: bit of a non-ideal image tho?
09:53 AM polprog: oh for now whatever works
09:53 AM polprog: one i write the calibration routine ill set up the microscope
09:53 AM rue_mohr: mm
09:53 AM rue_mohr: I did want to do pitch distance on the gear counter
09:54 AM rue_mohr: now that I'v used it a bit I'm not sure if thats practical
09:55 AM rue_mohr: I need to 'zoom out' on my project goals for a bit and check my direction, I think I'm drifting off target
09:56 AM rue_mohr: I redid the computer on the rack of two 3d printers yesterday, because the old computer has been frustratingly slow at slicing
09:56 AM rue_mohr: then I went to turn it on to get some config files and found out it was dead
09:57 AM rue_mohr: I'd just happened to already backed up the files, so I'm ok, but, close call
09:57 AM rue_mohr: some of them anyhow
09:59 AM rue_mohr: have you ever looked at the datasheet for the i4004?
09:59 AM rue_mohr: twisted on a level I'd not expect
02:27 PM Tom_L: This project is a testament that a “big hack” (the good kind) can be accomplished by a small team of dedicated hobbyists or even solo, working just a few hours a week....
02:28 PM Tom_L: https://www.4004.com/
02:30 PM Tom_L: you were wondering what to do with all your scavanged parts...
03:14 PM polprog: https://0x0.st/8rzY.png
03:14 PM polprog: it starts looking sensible
03:37 PM Tom_L: don't sneeze while you're soldering those
03:54 PM rue_shop2: having to do choares all this weekend and I just want to play
05:35 PM rue_mohr: huh, usb adapter fauled and killed a print half way thru
10:09 PM rue_shop2: damnit, tried to get oil into a squeek on another printer and destroyed a 5 hour print
10:09 PM rue_shop2: at the 4.5 hour mark
