00:11 MrCurious your killing me!
00:20 e_house straps MrCurious to the table and tries to find program hexholes0p5inch
00:20 Curious mumbles abouot not being able to shower in y
00:20 e_house wonders how the human grease will effect the macha
00:21 rue_house makes a nice wood finish...
00:21 rue_house you code in C dont you?
00:21 rue_house oh
00:25 rue_house if I have a functiont hat draws a line and I give it the same start and end point should it draw a dot or nothing?
00:27 rue_house if a blocky bar graph goes from 0 to 100%, should it light up the last pixels after 90% or at 100%
00:27 MrCurious cool. i am too far into my relaxation-cycle to work C magic. hit me tomorrow for that
00:27 rue_house do programmers die or are they just cast into a void?
09:08 ShH sets a noob on
09:59 R0b0t1 I mean
09:59 R0b0t1 do they got spares of those?
10:17 GuShH R0b0t1: ???
10:36 Tom_itx rue_house, it should draw half a dot
10:38 Tom_itx rue_house, it should light up the last one at 100% as it is not done until then and only then is it done
10:38 Tom_itx 99.9999999% is still not done
10:39 Tom_itx i hate graphs that go to 100% and keep churning a while
12:28 WALL-E_ Hello everyone :)
12:30 Lekov37 Anybody here? :)
12:35 zap0 nope.
12:54 Lekov37 :'(
12:55 rue_bed eerrpr suste, mpt initialixed.
12:55 goRed w
12:56 rue_bed Tom_itx, I agree 100% is the only condition that should enguage the last bar of the graph
12:56 rue_bed please provide source to the arduino map() function
12:57 rue_bed notice: request withdrawn
12:57 rue_bed sssystem restart, plase stand by
12:58 rue_bed how much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood
12:58 rue_bed who is there
12:58 DagoRed Map is.... well normal for a map function.
12:59 rue_bed your knocking problem will be addressed, please be patient
12:59 rue_bed why is the word abbreviation so long
13:00 rue_bed 10:43, 4am. delta is 6 hours, sleep period insufficient.
13:01 armyofevilrobots Wow, after working with the instructions and QA on chinese made machines for a while, it's crazy to be building up a domestic machine for a change. There really is a quality difference from this particular manufacturer.
13:01 armyofevilrobots I know a lot of the parts are source in China/Taiwan, but the sawstop stuff is really impressive.
13:02 rue_bed hello
13:02 DagoRed hello
13:02 rue_bed oo dr who, channel 59, start time was 7am
13:02 armyofevilrobots mornin.
13:03 rue_bed I was working on knock identification code for the pc, what happened?
13:03 rue_bed maybe chocolate will fix this, biab
13:04 DagoRed .h76news 2
13:04 makepi DagoRed: 0.) Civic infrastructure hacking: laser-controlled streetlight. - http://goo.gl/G7BbbB
13:04 makepi DagoRed: 1.) Let’s make a tablet! - http://goo.gl/UeyWkb
13:11 ShH idly steals some of rue_bed's choco
13:11 GuShH oh crap who would've thought flux on an open wound would hurt this much!
13:11 armyofevilrobots :O
13:22 GuShH paste overdose anyone? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu3PY-mdoLA
13:23 MrCurious hahahahahahaha
13:23 MrCurious srsly, the paste seperates on that chip and doesnt bridge?
13:23 GuShH If it's not flowing right, poke it with an alligator clip (tm)
13:24 GuShH yeah but he's got way too much paste, so it bridged
13:24 GuShH MrCurious: surface tension is the trick here
13:24 MrCurious yeah, ,thought you had to mask it, not apply it liberally
13:24 GuShH also while most of the paste is comprised of tiny solder spheres, it's all suspended in flux
13:24 GuShH which is why you can in theory "revive" old paste by adding iso alcohol
13:25 GuShH MrCurious: ideally you do mask it for more than one-off runs, ask Tom_itx!
13:25 MrCurious wonder how cnc is for making masks
13:25 GuShH there's a guy in ##electronics doing 'em with a cnc laser
13:26 GuShH forgot his name, I just remember he was a party boy junkie.
13:26 MrCurious whats a party boy junkle
13:26 MrCurious is that a band
13:26 GuShH no but it could be if you grab your guitar and you follow my lead
13:27 GuShH http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VCL9BUGAhQ such fancy crap out there
13:29 MrCurious solder balls all over that piece
13:59 GuShH MrCurious: It's fun when one dislodges and shorts out the board ruining the entire product!
13:59 MrCurious heh
14:00 GuShH In the olden days they would shake the boards around after hand soldering them...
14:01 GuShH there's an old video somewhere about the industry standard from the 50s I think, but they were mostly talking about lithography and pcb manufacturing
14:03 MrCurious am i in the mood to search for my hole punch or willl i surrender and go buy one
14:03 robotustra hello human robots
14:03 MrCurious morning roboboy
14:04 robotustra roboboy is ugly piece of plastic
14:04 robotustra with dwarf proportions
14:05 robotustra and Down syndrome
14:06 robotustra may be it's not so bad idea to do robots with the look of face of Down's syndrome
14:08 MrCurious congratulations, you have discovered the up-canny peak
14:11 robotustra :)
14:16 MrCurious found a hole punch
14:16 MrCurious not the one i recall having, but its definately hole punch
14:27 GuShH MrCurious: wait, let's try the hole punch on robotustra first, just to make sure it works
14:30 robotustra why not on you?
14:30 robotustra he is closer to you
14:49 Tom_itx MrCurious, http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/boards/USBTiny_Mkii/Stencils/stencil_form3.jpg
15:20 GuShH god damn sony!
15:21 GuShH without their bluetooth dongle there's no way to test this headphone
15:21 GargantuaSauce http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjgvRemYrmI
15:22 MrCurious nice Tom_itx
15:22 GuShH what the hell GargantuaSauce
15:22 MrCurious you have steady hands to make those with a exacto!
15:22 GuShH he made them by hand? I don't believe you.
15:22 GuShH if that's true then he's a friggin alien.
15:22 Tom_itx tis so
15:23 Tom_itx ( not )
15:23 Tom_itx bends the edges too much
15:23 MrCurious wow. not going to ever be able to unsee that one
15:24 GuShH my gaydar just imploded, twice.
15:24 m_itx fails to c
15:24 GargantuaSauce you have been given the pizzazz
15:25 GuShH o.O
15:25 GuShH I'll give you the LEADASS
15:25 MrCurious mine melted
15:25 MrCurious useless now
15:25 Lekov37 Can someone help me? :)
15:25 GuShH Lekov37: no.
15:25 Tom_itx not if you don't tell us what you need
15:25 MrCurious the answer you seek is in the youtube llink above
15:25 GuShH haha
15:25 Tom_itx i seriously doub that
15:25 ShH is still frowning at GargantuaS
15:26 MrCurious GargantuaSauce: if you didnt have robots... that link would have rendered you unredeemable
15:26 GargantuaSauce you must let pizazeezus into your heart
15:26 GuShH nobody here has a sony pulse "elite" headset?
15:26 GargantuaSauce i use real headphones
15:27 GuShH all commercial headphones are the same shit inside, only professional headphones are worth the money
15:27 MrCurious i have a sony ps2 wireless headset
15:27 GuShH but that's not the point here
15:27 MrCurious great for pc gaming
15:27 GuShH this is for ps3
15:27 GuShH but I think they force you to pair it with their own bt dongle
15:27 MrCurious maybe its ps3
15:27 MrCurious yes
15:27 Lekov37_ Tom_itx: I want to start learning robotics, but I don't know from where to start and from where to learn
15:27 GuShH assholes, so that's why I can't discover it
15:27 GuShH and thus test it
15:27 GuShH see, friggin sony man... they're no better than apple.
15:27 MrCurious Lekov37 watch this channel. investigate site letsmakerobots.com
15:28 MrCurious follow hackaday and hackedgadgets
15:28 GuShH hackacat
15:28 MrCurious and get comfortable with spending lots on sites like ebay, pololu sparkfun digikey, ...
15:28 MrCurious sony TAUGHT apple how to be slimey
15:28 GuShH Lekov37: what's your goal?
15:29 GuShH MrCurious: ok so unless I get my hands on the dongle, I can't test this thing?
15:29 MrCurious however, my apple BT kbd and mouse do work with my pc without a dongle
15:29 MrCurious i got one here
15:29 GuShH usb enumerates it as wireless stereo headset, but nothing else
15:29 GuShH no services
15:29 MrCurious pretty much
15:29 GuShH so it's just for charging
15:29 GuShH and you can't pair it with any bt radio
15:29 Lekov37_ GuShH: I want to learn to make a robot do basic things (like move around)
15:29 GuShH god damn.
15:29 GuShH Lekov37_: it's called a ROOMBA. doh.
15:30 MrCurious wireless adapter mdel no. CECHYA-0081
15:30 GuShH bleh, bleh, BLEH. I don't have it, it's not mien
15:30 MrCurious bet you can source oneon ebay cheap
15:30 GuShH mine*
15:30 GuShH why? I'm just fixing it for someone
15:30 GuShH but they didn't leave the dongle
15:30 MrCurious i have a roomba. sucks as robot platform
15:30 GuShH so how can I test it
15:30 GuShH haw haw haw
15:30 MrCurious only takes commands to go that a way ot this a way
15:30 GuShH it SUCKS haw haw COUGH haw
15:30 MrCurious cant make it easily positionally accurate
15:31 GuShH it's not meant to
15:31 GuShH I was just joking...
15:31 MrCurious vacuumes suck at robotics?
15:31 GuShH alright and the audio cable it uses at least it's a standard stereo mini jack?
15:31 GuShH it looks that way
15:31 GuShH or is it some sony bullshit they sell for their cellphones
15:32 GuShH I need to test it somehow heh
15:32 MrCurious well you could tap the audio in and out from the analog headset, and add in your own BT audio board
15:32 m_itx gives GuShH a stereo minijack to USB ada
15:32 GuShH http://www.techradar.com/reviews/gaming/gaming-accessories/sony-pulse-wireless-headset-elite-edition-1100892/review
15:32 GuShH Tom_itx: I had one
15:32 MrCurious and then it would be fixed, and able to associate with any pc
15:32 GuShH it lasted but 10 seconds until it went pop.
15:33 GuShH I was trying to probe it's noise floor by feeding itself through
15:33 GuShH I didn't have a scope back then, sounded like a good idea.
15:33 MrCurious oh! its 4 versions past mine
15:33 MrCurious thats elite
15:33 Lekov37_ Okey guys, thanks for helping me :)
15:33 MrCurious i did
15:33 GuShH MrCurious: yours is the square looking one?
15:33 MrCurious hope you saw it
15:33 MrCurious yeah
15:33 GuShH prolly newer, but who cares?
15:34 GuShH it's still like 250 bucks here
15:34 GuShH assholes.
15:34 MrCurious BT headsets have lag issues
15:34 ShH eyer
15:34 GuShH again, not interested in gaming!
15:34 MrCurious best to get a non BT one, then you can bitch at other players real time, rather than delayed
15:34 GuShH but I don't game sir.
15:35 MrCurious i dont think he saw the hints
15:35 MrCurious amazing how you cant learn how to make robots in < 3 minutes of hanging out here
15:35 GuShH I think he thought it would be a matter of buying a lego kit and presto
15:35 MrCurious sudo make me a robot
15:35 GuShH how is it even 7.1 with two speakers inside
15:35 GuShH ha.
15:35 GuShH I think the rest are just mics
15:36 GuShH capsules
15:36 MrCurious it uses the power of the schwartz...
15:36 MrCurious its all about marketing
15:36 GuShH ?
15:36 GuShH heh
15:36 MrCurious --space balls
15:36 GuShH I once got a "digital headphone" there was nothing digital about it.
15:36 GuShH it was 100% analog.
15:37 MrCurious they fooled you!
15:37 GuShH bah I should solder the connector in and put it back together, enough messing around with this POS
15:37 GuShH MrCurious: totally, I was 10 years younger though!
15:37 MrCurious i think that thing i have been wanting to do is called eating. i should probablyget to it...
15:37 Tom_itx be sure to bill him for ALL your WASTED time spent on it
15:37 GuShH kinda feel like it after dealing with the missing traces
15:38 GuShH but not much, otherwise that'll be the end of it
15:38 GuShH also I had nothing better to do today... other than mowing the lawn...
15:38 GuShH which I didn't, but I'll probably will in an hour
15:38 GuShH I*
15:39 GuShH do generic bt headphones pair as handsfree devices with cellphones?
15:40 GuShH MrCurious: the only time I've used bt headphones they sounded horrible, low bitrate or something
15:45 MrCurious if you were a good friend, you would buy him a new one and say "i fixed it"
15:45 MrCurious and made you a replacement dongle
15:45 Tom_itx my dongle is just fine thanks
15:57 GuShH MrCurious: But I'm not a good friend!
15:58 MrCurious lol
19:06 Curious watches a remote ubuntu upgrade and hopes for no complicat
19:18 Tom_itx what ver?
20:10 MrCurious 12.04.03 lt now
20:10 MrCurious lts
20:13 MrCurious minimal incident. took 90 min total with 15 minutes of brain time and 75 minutes of waiting
20:37 rue_shop2 hmm, I have here an 80MB laptop drive I was saving for a special project
20:38 Tom_itx did this project show it's face?
20:40 Tom_itx ok so much for that
20:40 Tom_itx tried 3 times to load a cpp file in studio 6.1 and it crashed all 3 times
21:55 rue_bed eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee'[
22:01 GargantuaSauce http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CDU6q_dG0s
22:11 rue_shop2 :( I broke the vise
22:50 MrCurious time to tap some holes
22:51 GargantuaSauce i hope you buy them dinner first
22:52 MrCurious what does aluminum eat?
22:52 GargantuaSauce chloride ions
23:14 MrCurious 3 holes are 1 mm too shalow
23:14 MrCurious but it fit, and glides nice
23:20 eadthem http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=phK_znTnNLg#t=5477
23:20 eadthem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQOIX-62AA0
23:20 eadthem so ya
23:21 eadthem what to do with a KUKA KR350-1 robot
23:21 eadthem all i can think about is someones going to die
23:21 eadthem and yes the raceing seat is going on the robot
23:38 Casper Hi there, does anyone have a source of extended 608 bearings? the one with the build in spacer?
23:39 Casper I can't find them anywhere except at the local bearing store, for 2.50$ each for worse than chinese quality...
23:39 Casper those have a big play already, you know, the kind that you would say: this bearing is shot... well, that's a brand new one...
23:50 rue_house extended?
23:50 Casper http://www.vxb.com/ball-bearings-images/608_extended-2.jpg
23:51 Casper http://www.vxb.com/ball-bearings-images/608_extended-3.jpg
23:51 rue_house why dont you just put a collar on it?
23:52 Casper that's actually my plan B
23:52 Casper the extension seems to be about 1 nut wide
23:52 Casper 7mm
23:52 Casper I mesured 200mils actually
23:53 rue_house next time i have a potato larger than my head I wont add others to it to make up supper
23:54 rue_house one of the things I should have clued into was that there was more than would fit on the plate
23:56 Casper is 608 a skate board bearing?
23:58 rue_house yes
23:58 Casper hmm
23:58 rue_house yup, nomatter where I put it on my plate, there is stillhalf my supper left
23:59 Casper I wonders if walmart or canadian tire sell them...
