00:07 XSerpentX FUCK YOU WORLD
00:07 XSerpentX UR ALL GENNA BURN NOW!!!!
09:08 rue_mohr hmm repraps run gcod eh?
09:16 rue_mohr well then I could just finish my new cnc machine and use that
09:17 rue_mohr nowonder there aren't more of these things, the information on making them is horried
09:17 rue_mohr I had to go thru 6 pages just to get to a supposed diagram on building it
09:21 rue_mohr wow, they are only using a 3w resistor for the heat
09:34 rue_mohr none of the people working on this project seem to have ever assembled a lego thing, or the instructions wouldn't look like this
15:08 SolarNRG How hard would it be to engineer a friction stir welder?
15:09 SolarNRG I mean you only have to work with pressure, spin speed and depth of the dowel right?
15:09 Tom_itx you might just start a fire
19:42 rue_mohr tom, hahah
19:42 Tom_itx ?
19:42 rue_mohr I got the cheapest parts I could for the cat locators
19:42 rue_mohr some of the caps I got are 0201
19:43 Tom_itx cow bells?
19:43 rue_mohr }:)
19:43 rue_mohr no its an RF thing
19:43 rue_mohr http://eds.dyndns.org/~ircjunk/circuits/car-locator.jpg
19:43 rue_mohr I bought all smt parts for it
19:43 Tom_itx 0201??
19:43 Tom_itx why?
19:43 rue_mohr cause I went by price
19:43 rue_mohr hehehe
19:43 Tom_itx but you gotta be able to see em
19:44 rue_mohr I think I'll just use a trace for that, and put a slice in it after etching
19:44 rue_mohr that will be the other challange
19:44 Tom_itx code is all fixed now
19:44 rue_mohr good stuff
19:44 rue_mohr I did just make some tweezers
19:44 Tom_itx they added more steps to some things
19:44 rue_mohr how the hell I'm gonna hold them down while I wonder: no idea
19:44 Tom_itx you're gonna need more than tweezers to work with those
19:45 Tom_itx your iron will eat a few
19:45 rue_mohr I got extras and I might need em, I might lose a few in the solder at the ends
19:45 rue_mohr that too
19:45 rue_mohr I think they are smaller than the pool that forms on the tip of the iron
19:46 Tom_itx i'm sure of that
19:46 Tom_itx where'd you get em?
19:46 Tom_itx ebay?
19:48 rue_mohr dk
20:23 rue_mohr .01uF is...
20:24 rue_mohr 10nF
20:24 rue_mohr 10000pf
20:24 rue_mohr that ones a 0402
20:55 rue_mohr I think I can put the 0201 cap UNDER the soic 555
20:55 Tom_itx oh i'm sure you can
20:55 rue_mohr or maybe tuck it under the elbow of one of the pins
20:56 rue_mohr these components laugh at 10 thouh traces
20:56 Tom_itx or between traces?
20:56 rue_mohr I cant get my traces that cose
20:56 rue_mohr close
20:57 Tom_itx i bet when you opened the package you almost felt cheated
20:58 rue_mohr yea
20:58 rue_mohr I PAID 2C EA FOR THIS!!!
23:04 Tom_itx rue_mohr

23:05 Tom_itx ha
23:05 Tom_itx i got it on the server
23:10 rue_shop I'z just trying the fet driver chips I got, they work great
23:10 rue_shop perfect for <5A 5V motor drivers
23:10 Tom_itx you wanna help me install avrgcc and dude on ubuntu tomorrow?
23:10 rue_shop I could do 12V with a little extra fiddling
23:10 Tom_itx i gotta get some sleep tonight
23:11 Tom_itx cool
23:12 rue_shop tom, did you know the reprap uses Gcode?
23:13 theBear i did not know that
23:13 Tom_itx limited yes
23:13 Tom_itx not a full implentation
23:13 Tom_itx iirc, there's a gcode thing for avr
23:13 Tom_itx i don't have a link
