00:00 MrCurious less scary to have 2 identical cells in parallel
00:22 MrCurious this dc-dc converter with display is pulling 1/2 watt!
00:24 GargantuaSauce idle?
00:24 GargantuaSauce unloaded i mean<
00:24 MrCurious yes
00:24 MrCurious 4 digit led display
00:24 MrCurious i suppose could take 1/2 watt to measure voltage and display
00:25 MrCurious however the dc-dc step down that DOESNT have a panel meter takes 0W un loaded
00:26 MrCurious it must be shorted. i have an led panel meter pulling 0.1W
00:29 Curious regrets going crazy with the super glue
00:33 rue_house heh
00:37 MrCurious i mean hot glue
00:41 MrCurious man, i HATE undoing work
01:01 MrCurious GargantuaSauce: reconfigured the array into 2,2,2 for a 3S
01:14 MrCurious well, that is enough for tonight
02:23 kolaman Hi all, I am working on simulating physiological dimensions with a machine (like 3d in machine and physicology would have physical existance of machines, fourth is time line in both etc) but I am confused what is in 1st,2nd dimension (I know that is point and than a line respectively) but what it could be in this scneroe
02:50 Hukka kolaman: You are barely making any sense
02:50 Hukka Please rephrase
02:54 kolaman Hukka: I am writing a research paper inwhich I am trying to simulate our physiological dimension with the physical work(a physical machine) like 4th dimension is time line incase of machine it could be something an interconnected network to dilute the time etc.
02:54 kolaman I am still confused what would be in 1st and 2nd dimension as a line or a flate lander in really does'nt exist
02:56 kolaman Hukka: does that make sense ..
02:56 Hukka Nope
02:56 Hukka Sorry
02:56 Triffid_Hunter kolaman: http://youtu.be/zqeqW3g8N2Q
03:44 kolaman Triffid_Hunter: :) but my question is flate-landers (might or might not exist) what part of machine I can say is in 1,2nd dimension ?
03:44 kolaman that is the biggest problem I am stuck in . .
04:08 RifRaf anyone tryed mpu6050 accel/gyro combo?
09:07 rue_house lets ask tobbor
09:10 rue_house the answer is no
09:30 xorly RifRaf: not yet, but I'll get one from ebay in next weeks, I hope...
14:57 RifRaf the price is right and it appears to work fine
20:32 orlok hey RifRaf
20:42 RifRaf yo
20:43 orlok i need to get some pictures of the new workshop
20:43 orlok havent even had time to put up any shelves
20:43 RifRaf shelves are the best, make lots
20:43 orlok but i did get a set of nice sturdy hooks that are now holding up rows of milk cartons
20:43 orlok "PROPERTY OF PURA DAIRY"
20:44 orlok hanging up around head hight, easy to hook up and unhook
20:44 orlok i dont think i've seen "milk crates" actually for sale, the fact that they are open makes it easy to mount them on hooks
20:44 orlok and they are incredibly sturdy compared to any other plastic tubs
20:44 RifRaf only ones i have seen in like toy shops and no where as strong as a real milk crate
20:46 orlok got my vice and dremel all set up
20:47 orlok managed to make up my handset controller box, opened up the holes for the buttons freehand
20:48 orlok didnt have a 12.5 or 20mm drill but to mount them
22:31 rue_shop2 bah, damn, the problem with the cut digiits from the cnc is a failure in the machine
22:45 Tom_itx ?
22:46 Tom_itx just finished milling about a dozen boxes
23:02 rue_shop2 busy
23:03 Tom_itx now i gotta screen print the lids tomorrow
23:03 Tom_itx ever get your screen ready to go?
23:07 rue_shop2 it is, I dont have an exposure system
23:27 MrCurious http://openbiometrics.org/
23:27 MrCurious anyone tried this? OpenBR
23:41 rue_house RifRaf, at $2.50ea I see why you like those 9g servos
23:41 MrCurious oh yeah! openbr is compiling
23:51 rue_house I bet it breaks on a library dependency thats either missing or broken
23:52 MrCurious 100% built perfect
23:52 MrCurious :)
