01:47 rue_bed its obfiscated code
01:48 rue_bed it uses #ifdef #else #endif #ifndef to the point you cant tell whats being compiled in and what isn't
11:46 anunnaki hey guys, is it possible to add an ir tranceiver and reciver to the sb-firefly? https://solarbotics.com/product/60140/
16:01 GargantuaSauce man i'm dumb sometimes
16:01 ace4016 sometimes?
16:01 GargantuaSauce i bought five flatflex cables
16:01 ace4016 :P
16:01 GargantuaSauce and five female connector
16:01 MrCurious call for vote...
16:01 GargantuaSauce s
16:01 MrCurious wuldnt 10 have made more sense
16:01 GargantuaSauce hence the dumb
16:02 MrCurious vote: Aye
16:04 GargantuaSauce actually scratch that, i ordered five top-contact and five bottom-contact and the seller forgot the latter
16:04 GargantuaSauce dumb--;
16:05 MrCurious that still leaves room on delivery to use the top when you mean bottom...
16:05 MrCurious fertile territory
18:16 MrCurious asteroids dont destroy planets. They just reboot them.

19:00 Jentrep Is there a dedicated channel to UAVs??
19:01 MrCurious there could be
19:01 MrCurious you may havev to make it and camp it a while :)
19:02 GargantuaSauce there's #uavp but that's a specific project and they mostly speak german
19:03 MrCurious germans are teh friendliest people
19:03 GargantuaSauce and their hardware is super expensive
19:05 MrCurious and their cars are cool when you pick silver, red, or lack
19:15 Jentrep Y no UAV channel? D:
19:16 Jak_o_Shadows Don't people just modify ardupilot most of the time?
19:17 GargantuaSauce yeah or one of the 5 alternatives
19:19 Jentrep lol ardupilot looks like RMVs for adults xD

19:21 GargantuaSauce not many hobbyists make autonomous aircraft
19:21 Jentrep :P
19:21 Jak_o_Shadows autonomous quadracopters are a bit more common
19:22 GargantuaSauce barely
20:05 GargantuaSauce got a nice mosfet-shaped burn mark on my fingertip
20:14 GargantuaSauce protip: when testing a motor driver, secure the damn thing

23:35 rue_shop3 wholy crap, I haven't seen hexagon milling done like that before
23:35 MrCurious priceless inside
23:35 MrCurious where steel rules
23:35 Jentrep rue_shop3: like what
23:36 Jentrep ?
23:36 rue_shop3 its too bad about all the material lost in school 'thing' excersizes
23:40 rue_shop3 wonder why its a pneumatic motor
23:41 Jentrep rue_shop3: what are you talking about? D:
23:41 Jentrep Which video?
23:41 Jentrep Link! Link!
23:42 Jentrep This guy rue_shop3 ??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPE3Qr-ECtQ
23:42 rue_shop3 zlog,
23:42 rue_shop3 of the last two videos mentioned
23:43 rue_shop3 the last one used a pneumatic router mtoor
23:43 rue_shop3 the one before did an really interesting thing to mill facets
23:43 Jentrep how do you know it was pneumatic?
23:43 rue_shop3 the air lines
23:43 rue_shop3 I'v seen them on ebay too
23:44 rue_shop3 I could be wrong
23:44 rue_shop3 it happens from time to time
23:44 Jentrep Oh lol
23:44 Jentrep What if that is just air for the process and not air for control?
23:44 Jentrep and why would it be pneumatic?
23:44 Jentrep What is the air controlling?
23:45 rue_shop3 typically a pneumatic motor turns when given an air supply...
23:45 Jentrep so just a compressed air motor
23:45 rue_shop3 yup
23:46 Jentrep It's not purely pneumatic
23:46 Jentrep it has too many degrees of freedom
23:50 Jentrep LOL playstation CNC
