00:14 kd0mto I have no idea how to write for it.
01:45 nitrousangel kd0mto Are you using a prototyping board? (i.e. Atmega for Arduino, or something else?)
01:50 nitrousangel Datasheet: http://bit.ly/uMwQCR probably not much going to help with programming though...
01:57 kd0mto nitrousangel: just some proto board with a socket
01:59 kd0mto yup... I've used that one. It's crap to program with.
01:59 nitrousangel hmm... What board?
02:01 nitrousangel Some of the off brand boards have descriptor files for the Arduino API, and once you add them you can plug-n-play w/ the arduino code /etc... did it come with compiler etc?
02:02 kd0mto ..... it's one I'm making
02:02 kd0mto I'm using it for my RFID lock project for the hacker space.
02:06 nitrousangel Gotcha... What are you going to write in?
02:18 kd0mto C hopefully
02:19 kd0mto I've used some other AVR's before but never an Atmega and yeah... documentation is different than expected.
02:19 kd0mto I could just make some assumptions and be fine.
02:23 nitrousangel What programmer are you using?
02:23 kd0mto Tom_itx's MK-II
02:23 kd0mto blue one
02:30 nitrousangel So is the information you're looking for to do with the software needed to interface with your MK-II programmer, or the functions/libraries for the ATMEGA328?
02:37 kd0mto mostly just what do I need to do to write this all in C.
02:37 kd0mto The programming part is easy enough.
02:37 kd0mto Just hook up some wires and let the programmer do the work.
02:39 nitrousangel You probably already found this page, but it recommends using AVR Studio (windows)/AVR dude (linux)... I think it even has the device descriptors if that's what you need... http://bit.ly/do4mxg
02:40 nitrousangel From there you should be able to program in c...
02:42 nitrousangel Here's more info on setting up AVR studio for your device http://bit.ly/sWL1RO
02:44 kd0mto thanks
02:44 nitrousangel np...
02:44 kd0mto I've done all this so... yeah.
02:45 kd0mto Still not looking for in terms of what I wanted for the data sheet.
02:45 nitrousangel xD Sorry... I think I'm missing something in terms of the question lol...
02:46 kd0mto Meh, just wish I had some type of reference like I had for other atmels in the past for the Atmega328.
02:46 kd0mto Hmm... didn't consider the atmega family reference though...
06:37 KongfuPanda anyone making Robocop?
06:54 parag0n say i have two mod 0.3 gears, and know the diameters of them, how far do they mesh together (ie how do i work out the distance center to center
08:36 Tom_itx !seen izua
08:36 Tom_itx !seen izua
08:36 tobbor izua was last seen in #avr on Oct 28 11:48 2011

08:51 rue_house parag0n,
08:51 parag0n rue_bed,
08:51 parag0n rue_house,
08:51 parag0n even
08:51 rue_house I think it depends on the cut, if you can find the root_diamiter spec of them then thats it
08:52 rue_house or, if you have two, mesh and measure?
08:52 rue_house http://www.gearshub.com/gifs/gear-parameters.jpg
08:53 rue_house http://www.meccanoscene.co.uk/html/articles/gears/wSpurDefinitions.jpg
08:53 rue_house sorry, pitch diamiters
08:58 parag0n http://www.tpa-us.com/pdf/Reliance%20Gear%20Tech%20Data.pdf :D
08:58 parag0n rue_house, the issue is, i'm buying these gears in, and they're pretty pricey
08:58 parag0n so i need to make sure they're right before buying
09:04 rue_house say i have two mod 0.3 gears, and know the diameters of them, how far do they mesh together (ie how do i work out the distance center to center <-- you add the two pitch radii ( the radii of each gear)
09:06 rue_house that document is not a spec for a gear
09:06 rue_house it just outlines the error levels
09:11 rue_house I can find no specs for gears on that page
09:17 parag0n the problem is, i dont have that spec for one of the gears
09:17 parag0n http://www.shop.kkpmo.com/product_info.php/info/p369_Gearwheel-Pinion-M0-3---7teeth.html
09:18 rue_house wel you need that
09:18 parag0n the other (90 tooth gear) is 27.00 mm though
09:20 rue_house $6.50 for a tiny gear like that, better be good
09:29 parag0n yeah, i need them to be pretty accurate
09:29 parag0n and tiny
19:35 Tom_itx rue_house
19:36 Tom_itx did you dump your rue-mohr.com site?
19:36 Tom_itx or what was the link?
20:32 theBear rue went .com ? surely not
20:33 Tom_itx he had a site for avr stuff but i think he may have let it go
20:48 theBear hmm... i remember a couple odd pages (like most of his good ones <grin> obscure, hard to find, probably not linked to and VERY usefull) like blinking an led that i thought were at the eds.dyn site
20:50 theBear maybe he can guineapig my new server, like rif before him... i got full local and backup (auto replicated = sexy) ns access/rights now.... some_of_ruemohrs.webpages.rememberit.com.au , it could be up literally within the minute, assuming you hadn't already poisoned your dns by looking it up before it existed....
20:50 theBear or even ruemohr.can.be.absentminded.fucking.rememberit.com.au ?
20:51 theBear i can do matching emails, but unless i type some more stuff, you can't really pickup/view them currently :)
20:52 theBear sidenote: i'm currently happy to do odd domains or forwards for fun or testing... doesn't cost me anything :)
20:52 theBear so long as they end in rememberit.com.au <grin>
20:52 zhanx_ On phone
20:52 theBear err, on chair
20:52 theBear greetings to you, phone dweller
20:53 zhanx_ Lazy boy chair here
20:53 theBear you dirty bastard !
20:53 zhanx_ :) yea I am laid back right now
20:53 theBear my shrink mentioned recliners (that's what REAL countries/people call them) yesterday, damn i miss my pair of jasons, AND the odd one with the amazingly 70's green-themed technicolour finish
20:54 zhanx_ This is brown plush saude
20:55 zhanx_ Just checking
20:55 zhanx_ In
20:55 theBear been tempted (using practicality as an excuse) to ask gran if i can 'borrow' the electric old-peoples recliner sitting in her front room waiting for a buyer we haven't found yet.... they cost a fortune, and are slow as err, slow stuff, but heck, it reclines, its nice and puffy and comfy, and well, right now if i got a seat that can tilt this way and that AND stand me 90% of the way up without ANY physical effort on my part, that's bound to help i
20:55 theBear n the day 2 day
20:56 theBear mmm... i think the bair were kinda plush-suede finish in brown, definately that general style, had 'em for years thru various households, but haven't seen them for a few now
22:07 rue_house and with those words theBear took command of the robotic chair, the world would never be the same again
