01:38 theBear only when i hear boston shake :)
01:38 theBear err, harlem shake
01:39 MrCurious isnt harlem shake teh national song of the seizure foundation
01:40 MrCurious arm your robots with that pokeymon episode that causes seizures....
01:40 theBear hehe
09:04 rue_more I must have been drunk, I ordered 300m of red and green wire-wrap-wire
09:04 rue_more (ea)
20:50 MrCurious dont anybody say a word
20:50 Tom_itx np
20:52 MrCurious anything new?
20:52 Tom_itx can't say
20:54 MrCurious cant... or wont....
20:55 Tom_itx was told not to say a word
20:55 Triffid_Hunter but 10 is ok? :P
20:55 MrCurious i was told the same
20:56 Tom_itx just sitting here trying to think of a cnc project
20:57 Tom_itx all the ones i come up with require a full size cnc
20:57 MrCurious fabricate a full size cnc only using a tiny assed cnc
20:58 Tom_itx i considered that
20:58 MrCurious if i had a tiny one, i would make a precision drilled aluminum mounting plate to mount the bearing blocks holding the Y to the Z
20:58 Triffid_Hunter 3d printer
20:58 Tom_itx travel isn't big enough for some of the parts
20:58 MrCurious thats the hardest part of the CNC build i have found
20:58 MrCurious of cource, thats as far as i have gotten :D
20:59 MrCurious hmmm, hot glue matnets and hall effect sensors into OWI arms, or solder up stepper driver boards, or stare blankly at the god box and hope shit magically finishes itself
21:00 MrCurious glue it is
21:01 MrCurious tomorrow i get another batch of dc-dc converters
21:01 MrCurious as i power the raspberry pi and the odroid with separate dc-dc converters, i wonder if by connecting them with a ethernet crossover cable is allowing one of the dc-dc converters to carry the whole load....
21:02 MrCurious that would be a ethernet flaw if it powered devices parasitically
21:28 GargantuaSauce ethernet SHOULD be magnetically isolated
21:29 GargantuaSauce i've been employing the blank stare strategy his evening
21:29 GargantuaSauce it's not going very well
21:35 MrCurious just added magnets and encoder to a gear box
22:24 MrCurious my raspberry pi camera, ordered today, shipped today!
22:53 MrCurious 2 modules done now for a total of 3
22:54 MrCurious 33% done automating a pair of OWI arms
23:30 haryv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDoOiLaLeb8 worlds first launch of a drone from a Aircraft Carrier
23:43 MrCurious tripy, makes me think they will be able to launch in a moments notice and hover in air while humans run to teh joystick
23:47 haryv yea
23:48 haryv skynet comming closer to reality
23:49 MrCurious skynet is here. its just suffering from the same problems we face. undependable vendors, sliding schedules, substandard parts, and poser-engineers
