06:37 uirrelCZECH didn't noticed that servos he ordered are not one
06:37 SquirrelCZECH but for turns
06:37 SquirrelCZECH hacking discovered that all the "magic" is just potenciometer with gearbox in front of it
06:37 uirrelCZECH have to figure out how to reduce that gearbox to 1
07:27 Hukka SquirrelCZECH: Well, it's either that or magnetic or optical encoder
07:28 SquirrelCZECH Hukka: it's B502
07:28 SquirrelCZECH with a gearbox
11:46 SquirrelCZECH once
11:46 SquirrelCZECH here was a man
11:46 SquirrelCZECH who made a huge ammout of modifications for his reprap
11:46 SquirrelCZECH also a fancy metal frame...

13:57 MrCurious lets wake rifraf now
14:25 SquirrelCZECH :D
14:40 GargantuaSauce_ i think he may have given up on this channel
14:43 useless-afk Rif doesn't like totalk in channels where there is abot logging everything he says to google
14:43 GargantuaSauce_ he's been active in #reprap lately which is
14:43 GargantuaSauce_ logged
14:44 useless-afk does he know it?
14:44 GargantuaSauce_ it says it in the topic, like freenode rules dictate
14:44 GargantuaSauce_ moreover it's the same bot as in here
14:44 useless-afk i dunno then
15:03 useless-afk Rif, when is Foxy going to be ready for work? : http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/wheelie-bins-a-danger-to-elderly-surgeons-say/story-fni0fiyv-1226733804964
15:21 MrCurious i think the t-baggers in congress have a mad-max infatuation, and are trying too drive america into some distopian future...
15:22 MrCurious !checkme
15:22 MrCurious !checkme
15:22 MrCurious wrong distopian future window!
15:42 Ins1er А русскоговорящих по этой теме много здесь?
16:01 Ins1er Понятно
16:01 Ins1er Тогда буду создавать свой канал с блекджеком и шлюхами.. роботами-шлюхами
16:40 robotustra http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPMHzPBrZeI
19:45 robotustra Wikipedia: I know everuthing;
19:45 robotustra Google: I can find everything;
19:45 robotustra Facebook: I know everyone;
19:45 robotustra Internet: Who are you without me?;
19:45 robotustra Electricity: Keep talking bitches!
20:01 Tom_itx get a real life
20:24 robotustra just installed american netflix
20:31 Tom_itx had that for a while now
20:59 robotustra I'm in canada
21:46 MrCurious and another weekend comes to an end
21:48 eless-afk grabs it by the ears and won't let i
21:53 GargantuaSauce so this morning i came up with an idea for what i need to do to properly move forward with this robot business, the culmination of a couple months of waffling
21:54 GargantuaSauce i need to make a unified abstraction/model for both onboard control and offline simulation/visualization/control
21:54 GargantuaSauce this may or may not mean i end up being one of those crazy people that runs lua on their embedded mcu
21:56 useless-afk it sounds like you are going to use intensive software gui to develop no robot
21:58 GargantuaSauce i am probably going to focus on getting it working on the embedded side first
21:59 zhanx https://plus.google.com/photos/106669734325478043044/albums/5931837797282362625?banner=pwa this work?
21:59 useless-afk to make a robot, don't you need servos, motors, universal joints, nuts and bolts?
21:59 GargantuaSauce needs to be shared to public
22:00 GargantuaSauce uhhh
22:00 GargantuaSauce i already have a platform built
22:00 GargantuaSauce you've seen it i believe
22:00 MrCurious would think that someone would have done something like that before, like a ROBOTOS
22:00 useless-afk can't see it, zhanx
22:01 zhanx try again
22:02 GargantuaSauce no backlight?
22:02 MrCurious get some frenel lenses and make it a projector :D
22:02 GargantuaSauce and yes ros is not super dissimilar to what i want but the implementation does not suit my needs
22:02 useless-afk er, there's no window planter
22:03 zhanx touchscreen desktop
22:09 MrCurious GargantuaSauce: sorry, a weekends pentup snarkyness just escacped
22:09 GargantuaSauce well it's hardly an invalid suggestion
22:09 Jak_o_Shadows I just scanned in a document and it's upside down :{
22:09 MrCurious perhaps what is needed is more of a layered approach made of many stand alone layers
22:10 GargantuaSauce that is sort of the intent...not necessarily 'many' though
22:10 GargantuaSauce because it'll turn into a clusterfuck fast :)
22:11 MrCurious i think the trick will lbe to set a metric for thickness. and prevent any component from being over a certian thickness without requireing it to be decomposed
22:11 GargantuaSauce well i think performance has to be one of my foremost concerns
22:11 MrCurious as monolithic software becomes unmanagable fast
22:11 GargantuaSauce because i want to pull off crap like gradient descent on the stm32
22:12 MrCurious functionality first, then iptimization
22:12 MrCurious optimizion
22:12 GargantuaSauce and SLAM on an arm soc
22:12 MrCurious this laptop keyboard makes so many errors. i swear its not my fingers!
22:12 GargantuaSauce i know not to prematurely optimize but i also need to not make it defective by design
22:12 MrCurious SLAM
22:12 MrCurious ?
22:13 GargantuaSauce http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9FImc2LOr8
22:13 MrCurious ahhh
22:13 MrCurious was at frys yesterday. huge selection of quad copters in the $30 - $100 range
22:14 GargantuaSauce yeah i
22:14 GargantuaSauce 'm about to order a $45 one just for shits and giggles
22:14 MrCurious the $50 inside a cage made me think i could ditch the cage and carry some brains
22:14 Jak_o_Shadows I've been tempted before.
22:15 MrCurious but $39 is throw away no brainer money
22:15 MrCurious and i think that one even was gyro stabilized
22:15 GargantuaSauce yeah they all are
22:17 MrCurious the US govt is broken annd shut down, and CNN has an anthony bourdain marathon on. something feels strange
22:17 GargantuaSauce and by shits and giggles i mean learning to fly a little before trying out my larger one capable of actually injuring me or others
22:17 MrCurious thank you for the image of a yamahaw yz-80 quadcopter hybrid
22:18 GargantuaSauce um. you're welcome
22:20 MrCurious hmmmm

22:23 Jak_o_Shadows likewise

22:27 useless-afk the guys will prolly all go for facial surgery if they look like that
22:50 useless-afk this reminds me of Aki Ross : http://www.hdwallpapersinn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Rashida-Jones-5.jpg
23:27 useless-afk you know you are a geek when you hear a rumbly sound and first thing you do is call up local radar online
