01:00 rue_house I came up with a lot of great stuff working ont aht challange
01:10 aggrav8d you should work on one thing and finish it.
02:17 rue_house why?
02:18 rue_house I like to work on several things at once,
02:23 rue_house that way I know whats obsolete as I'm building it
07:11 theBear rue_house, so you're saying i don't have to change my approach and methods, just learn to accept them over time ?
11:40 rue_house make your methods work for you
11:41 Tom_itx where are you at with your fiasco>

12:26 ybit http://www.cs.cornell.edu/images/styles/research.jpg?v=06
12:26 ybit from http://www.cs.cornell.edu/research/index.htm
12:27 ybit wondering what project that is
12:27 ybit if anyone can tell me, i'll be semi-eternally grateful
12:31 rizlah ybit, Looks like a photoshop project.
12:45 ybit rizlah: hah, yeah, i was thinking the same
12:45 ybit which is sad
14:31 rue_shop3 ok
14:44 Steffanx Hmm I didn't know google was that good

14:44 Steffanx It finds people, some with read shirts in an office
14:45 Tom_itx red
14:45 Steffanx red :P
14:45 Steffanx I tried to type that

14:47 rue_house "Sounds like a rocket is flying over the house, geesh.... wait a... WHERE'S THE BOILER!?!"
14:48 rue_house the 'visually simular' dosn't work too great, I think it uses proportions of colour, however the 'other sizes' is quite usefull
18:32 rue_house "Dangerous thoughts, chapter 2. 'This pile could be made higher...' "
18:56 maxx_ i would like to know about some softwares used for robot development,i mean i don't know anything ,get me as a layman in robotics,well being a software developer i use eclipse so is that you use some frameworks or anything i would like to have some http links,any help would be appriciative ,thanks
18:57 Tom_itx mostly a text editor and C
18:58 KongfuPanda maxx_, well, I'm a complete noob in robotics, but I liked the idea of building a robot so much, I decided to build one :D but it's not proper robotics. But I put complete decription of it here: http://read-stuff-here.blogspot.com
18:58 Tom_itx what sort of robots?
18:59 KongfuPanda maxx_, it used AVR studio C-editor, WIN-AVR compiler, Webbotlib library (this deals with low-level programming of some microcontrollers, otherwise you need to study low-level electronics a lot)
19:00 KongfuPanda right, I'm off to bed now. Good night :)
19:08 maxx_ well i couldn't say a thanks to you Mr. Panda,
19:09 maxx_ tom you there man,
19:09 maxx_ hey yeah well c can handle that with emacs,lol ;)
19:10 maxx_ anyways i am off now,
20:12 Tom_itx rue_shop
20:12 Tom_itx have you had class lately?
21:24 rue_house yay I have a doc that tells me how to properly adjust the carb on that damned gentorator
21:24 Tom_itx good luck
21:24 Tom_itx i found it nearly impossible once the engine starts showing wear
21:25 Tom_itx cleaned the carb and all
21:25 rue_house I went thru the carb really carefull, there were a few subtle things that were causing it problems
21:26 rue_house primarily a leak from the resivoir into the intake
21:26 rue_house iirc I had to make a lead gasket to fix that
21:47 coppermine well robot works!
21:48 coppermine i wish there was no latency
21:48 coppermine via ssh
21:48 coppermine there's like 3-4 seconds delay when i give commands to move
21:54 rue_house how did you do the network commands?
21:54 rue_house how did you solve the problem with the limiters?
21:55 e_house nudges copperm
21:58 coppermine commands are issued via ssh
21:59 coppermine i found a workaround for the overheating problem
22:02 rue_house overheating?
22:03 rue_house I thought they could take 7A
22:03 rue_house ?
23:12 home i want to build a mini-robot that I can program on
23:12 home Right now I cant really do much >.<
23:34 Birdee home :D
