12:56 Tom_itx rue_house maybe a 3.3v regulator if you ever want to run the target at 3.3v
12:59 Tom_itx i'll see if i have one
14:21 Steffanx At least that guy used nice gloves
14:23 Kimlaroux Those gloves, this hacking and this music strangely remind me of V for Vendetta... creepy =P
17:25 coppermine is there a wireless webcam thats encrpted?
17:29 aggrav8d google.
17:29 coppermine done already
17:29 aggrav8d if( you are good with openscad ) echo "ping1";
17:29 coppermine or else i wouldn't ask
17:29 aggrav8d just checking
17:30 coppermine i just found 1 and its poor reviews
17:30 coppermine im guessing the encrypting would cause latency issues
17:30 aggrav8d http://about.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=5765216/search=DCS950G
17:31 aggrav8d WPA encrypted wireless camera.
17:31 aggrav8d third link when I googled.
17:31 coppermine yep thats the one
17:31 coppermine poor reviews
17:31 coppermine im ahead of you buddy
17:31 aggrav8d http://about.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php?masterid=5973332&search=DCS2100%20802.11b&mode=about_compnetworking ?
17:32 coppermine 300$?
17:32 aggrav8d D-Link DCS-3220G ?
17:32 coppermine looking for something for my robot
17:32 aggrav8d then why do you need encrypted?
17:32 coppermine so my stupid neighbours dont look in my house
17:33 aggrav8d so set the camera to not broadcast ssid.
17:33 coppermine you can still scan for hidden ssids
17:33 coppermine using shark
17:33 aggrav8d besides! if your camera is on your robot, why is it wireless?
17:33 coppermine because using it via ssh causes latency
17:33 coppermine so i want a hardware camera
17:33 coppermine no software layer
17:34 aggrav8d I'
17:34 aggrav8d i'm sorry i can't help you more, I don't know enough about cameras.
17:34 coppermine im sorry
17:34 aggrav8d ask me in a year when i'm messing with kinect stuff.

19:58 Tom_itx His plan is to build a huge robot using these air muscles. I�m unsure if the robot is to be an humanoid or something else, but it�s gonna be huge. It�s gonna need over a hundred of those muscles.
