09:49 AM pcw-home: JT-Shop: not currently, I have revised PCB Artwork but have been so busy with other things I have not got around to producing them
09:49 AM pcw-home: and currently I have COVID :-(
09:54 AM JT-Shop: oh crap
09:55 AM pcw-home: Yeah managed to not get it for three years, now katharine and I both have it...
09:56 AM pcw-home: probably from eating out
09:59 AM JT-Shop: hopefully it's a mild case
09:59 AM pcw-home: Seems like a bad cold and its getting better
10:00 AM JT-Shop: how long do you have to isolate?
10:01 AM pcw-home: One suggestion is 2 days after testing negative
11:08 AM Tom_L: hope you don't get any long term effects
11:11 AM pcw-home: Doesn't seem too bad so far
11:13 AM Tom_L: i was off for a month but i think this variant is alot milder
11:30 AM rmu: wish a speedy recovery. i got covid twice. no star, don't recommond. won't buy again.
11:31 AM roguish[m]1: pcw-home: ah Peter, ya got the crud... dang. hope you and K get better soon.
11:38 AM pcw-home: Yeah, likely Omicron which should be milder. I'm feeling better already (4th day)
11:38 AM pcw-home: And thanks
12:11 PM seb_kuzminsky: get well quick pcw-home
12:13 PM cradek: get well pcw! We recently got it for the first time too, both fine after a week, no long term effects that we can see.
12:13 PM cradek: (we both had all four shots)
12:16 PM pcw-home: Yeah, we had all shots/boosters
12:19 PM cradek: terrific
12:19 PM cradek: frankly having the thing itself was not much worse than each of those shots. they all hit me hard.
12:20 PM seb_kuzminsky: i had it back in june, fully vaxxed, it was pretty mild and over quick, haven't noticed any lingering effects.
01:03 PM andypugh: I got the ‘Vid on Saturday and was clear by Thursday: https://photos.app.goo.gl/9nrPkKFNpRNPZZ2f7
01:04 PM andypugh: (And didn’t really notice it, except I had a cold. And I almost never get colds)
01:04 PM andypugh: (I should be more specific, in _a_ Saurday in November)
01:05 PM andypugh: pcw-home: To distact you from the pestilence… Can you suggest setup register settings to recieve 9600 b/s ? I have it transmitting but don’t see any replies.
01:07 PM pcw-home: I have a program that does a loopback test
01:08 PM pcw-home: Not hal unfortunately (and on pascal)
01:08 PM pcw-home: in
01:27 PM pcw-home: http://freeby.mesanet.com/PKTTESTPE.PAS
01:30 PM pcw-home: I probably should make a PktUART variant that is better at low baud rates (move the two delays to a separate register
01:31 PM pcw-home: so 16 bits each for the digital filter and drive enable delay. that would allow full 1/2 bit time filtering down to 600 baud or so
01:33 PM pcw-home: Also probably use a 24 bit DDS so the baud rate is more accurate at low speeds (currently its about 1% resolution at 9600 baud and gets worse if you go lower)
01:34 PM pcw-home: (not that your RX issue would be fixed, but the full filter time would make it much more resistant to impulse noise at 9600 baud)

06:42 PM andypugh: pcw-home: To send two frames of 8 bytes each, do I push 2 x 32 bit numbers to the register, then an 8 to the byte count, then repeat?
06:43 PM andypugh: Because I am only seeing one frame being sent.
08:50 PM pcw-home: you would need 4x32 bit data to send 2x 8 byte frames
