10:32 uehuehue ( ._.) wat.
10:32 Tom_itx solidworks
10:37 Ombudsman solidworks > inventor?
10:39 ace4016 sure
10:40 ace4016 iirc, inventor is a different kind of tool than solidworks
10:40 ace4016 autocad would be closer to solidworks
10:41 Ombudsman ic, thanks
10:41 Ombudsman I need to design for dynamic forces, basically an inclined plane
10:41 Ombudsman but the plane will be constrained, etc
10:43 Ombudsman I believe the sales term is "Dynamic Analysis"
10:49 IAmNotARobot Like FEA?
10:53 Ombudsman Yes, but also, moving loads
10:54 Ombudsman http://www.solidworks.com/sw/products/simulation/dynamic-analysis.htm
10:54 Ombudsman FEA I can already analyze in the generating software
11:00 Ombudsman NICE! Solidworks can be externally controlled by my generator!
11:02 uehuehue !
11:08 KongfuPanda hi GuShH
11:12 m_itx slaps uehuehue with
11:33 rue_house ah, the tools to help engineers imagine how what they imagine might work
11:33 ace4016 >_>
11:36 IAmNotARobot its called maths :p
11:36 uehuehue Sadly I don't math so well.
11:37 uehuehue Working on it, though.
11:37 IAmNotARobot Good effort.
11:37 uehuehue Quite.
11:44 rue_house <Ombudsman> http://www.solidworks.com/sw/products/simulation/dynamic-analysis.htm
11:45 rue_house if you dont turn off all the join/part messages you'd never see anything anyone ever said
13:43 Curious drops a m
16:38 rue_shop2 I cant remember what projects I need to get work done on
16:38 rue_shop2 I know I need something from the hardware store, I dont know what it is or what its for
16:43 MrCurious YOU DONT KEEP A LIST OF NEEDED ITEMS AND TODO'S ON YOUR SMART PHONE?
16:43 MrCurious and why was my capslock on
16:44 rue_shop2 WHAT?
17:03 robotustra hi
17:08 MrCurious ello
17:12 robotustra milled pcb
17:13 robotustra for eye motor drivers
17:13 robotustra gonna solder it
17:13 robotustra today tomorrow
17:13 robotustra but 1uF caps didn't arrive yet
17:14 MrCurious :(
17:17 robotustra what's your problem?
19:03 Arduino hi
19:10 robotustra what was it?
21:38 eadthem what size shuld a screw be if a #12-24 screw threads ok but loosely in something ?
21:41 katsmeow-afk screwsize 12-24= [!#12][!what][!tap drillbit] DrillBitFor 75%:17 ; DrillBitFor 70%:16 ; DrillBitFor 65%:14 ; MajorDiameter:0.216 ; MinorDiameter:0.1649 ; Pitch:0.04167 ; ClearanceDrill:7/32
21:41 katsmeow-afk screwsize 12-28= [!#12][!what][!tap drillbit] DrillBitFor 75%:15 ; DrillBitFor 70%:14 ; DrillBitFor 65%:12 ; MajorDiameter:0.216 ; MinorDiameter:0.1722 ; Pitch:0.03571 ; ClearanceDrill:7/32
21:41 Triffid_Hunter eadthem: might be a metric thread?
21:42 katsmeow-afk they are different even if the clearance bit size is the same
21:42 eadthem thats probably it
21:43 tsmeow-afk didn't tell Tiggr to mine metric screws, no one asked for
21:43 eadthem and ya it could be metricated
21:43 eadthem its a freud FT2000E router
21:44 eadthem mmm i think im trying to use the wrong holes
21:47 Triffid_Hunter eadthem: could be M6 perhaps?
21:47 eadthem thanks katsmeow-afk
21:47 eadthem M6 makes sense
21:48 eadthem im just going to take the whole router to ace tomarow
21:48 Triffid_Hunter pitch is about right.. 1/24" = 1.058333mm, M6 pitch is 1mm
21:48 eadthem theres about 8 places screws go that i dont have
21:48 Triffid_Hunter diameters would definitely make your #12-24 very loose
22:03 tsmeow-afk makes assorted faces while licking a vitamin C ta
22:08 FrankZappa eccentricities can be quite tricky .. but you could always test their behaviour with small examples just modeling one effect
22:29 katsmeow-afk > FBI Says It's Seized $28.5 Million In Bitcoins From Ross Ulbricht, Alleged Owner Of Silk Road <<== AH HAH!! so bitcoins ARE valued, at least by the FBI !
22:31 ace4016 mining for bitcoins is a bit inefficient though
22:31 katsmeow-afk In total, the FBI has now seized close to $34.5 million from the Silk Road.......In fact, the 174,000 or so bitcoins that the FBI controls now account for about 3.15% of all bitcoins in circulation.
22:35 katsmeow-afk have you tried https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lightbeam/ ?
22:36 FrankZappa 3.15% is the publicly verifiable number.
23:47 rue_shop2 I mounted an exacto knife into the lathe to cut rubber tubing bits, workes great!
23:48 FrankZappa computa gonna compute.
23:48 katsmeow-afk if i use 64pcs 512megabyte memory modules, i can store 67,108,864 512byte FAT entries in ram, and do a brute force (like a wildmatch search) on the entire 67 million filenames in 1.3 seconds or so
23:56 rue_shop2 how would you assemble and manage the ram?
23:58 katsmeow-afk well, each module is 64bits wide, so i'd arrange a 4096bit wide comparator, an address counter, some latches, and when a hit is made, trigger a more software-oriented search of that filename
23:59 katsmeow-afk picture 512 74HC688 chips, with 74ABT16373 latches on one side, the ram modules on theother, and then addy counters on the other
