00:55 GargantuaSauce only accessible from the side
00:55 rue_house drill bar holes,
00:55 rue_house insert rod, turn, drill new hold
00:55 rue_house hole
00:56 GargantuaSauce i could access it with an unmodified socket if i disassembled the whole gearbox
00:56 GargantuaSauce which is a prerequisite to the above also
00:56 rue_house oh, did I build it?
00:57 rue_house if so, every peice blocks access to the next
00:57 rue_house and in some cases, the previous
00:57 GargantuaSauce it's certainly along those lines
00:58 rue_house on this robot one of the servos, you have to pre-assemble the bolt and nut, hook in the servo, and then tighten it
01:20 MrCurious SWEET SUCCESS
02:12 rue_bed MrCurious, what you working on?
02:18 MrCurious rue_bed: installing openstack icehouse. came out thurs
02:18 MrCurious being a guinea pig
02:19 MrCurious 1 step remains... the database service!
06:20 SquirrelCZECH hi folks
06:21 SquirrelCZECH any tips about linux free program that would be able to convert scanned image into cad format ?
06:22 Jak_o_Shadows Depends on how clear it is. I'd say trace it. But maybe there exists something to trace it for you?
07:36 GuShH_ rue_house: thoughts on what to do with 60 machinist clamps? I only needed about 10 but the deal was for the whole set
07:36 ShH_ wonders if he should let them gather more
07:37 GuShH_ some are very good, others not so much.
12:41 GuShH_ Tom_itx: do you know what a split, hinged plate with threaded holes in the center is used for?, I thought maybe forging threads but I guess not
12:41 GuShH_ I've seen them before, I can't recall their name
12:41 GuShH_ they have no cutters inside so it's not for threading wood dowels
12:43 GuShH_ could it be the gap is adjusted to actually turn it into a crude die for thread cutting?
12:43 GuShH_ ohh it might be a thread restorer
12:45 GuShH_ (chaser)
17:40 blockh34d hi
17:40 blockh34d i'm getting into some robotic-ish stuff involving pneumatics
17:40 blockh34d can anyone suggest small, digital air flow control systems appropriate for robotics?
17:41 blockh34d i feel like in the end i'm going to make my own anyways out of something like etched plates
17:41 blockh34d but no sense reinventing the wheel if its not that expensive
18:16 Hyratel blockh34d, like how much airflow cfm?
18:16 Hyratel PSI and CFM are two major metrics for whether a part is suitable
18:17 Hyratel in pneumatics
19:25 rue_house blockh34d, valves are the mostly impossable part
19:25 rue_house you can try washing machine valves
19:50 blockh34d could be very high psi
19:50 blockh34d 150 psi minimum
19:50 blockh34d maybe up in the thousands
23:08 rue_shop2 ok I got the lathe L bracket made and legs on the solar yard battery box
23:08 rue_shop2 solar yard light battery box
23:09 rue_shop2 but I forgot to cut the bracket for arm6
23:09 rue_shop2 :/
23:10 rue_shop2 I had an idea on how to attach the end cap to the tumbler
23:38 rue_house ok I fixed the speaker switch, its the right way up now
23:38 rue_house hmmm
23:40 rue_house one of the segments is out on the audio selector....
23:40 rue_house dont think I can tackle that right now
23:49 rue_house "what are you waiting for" "end of the world" "a while then" "no, not really. Can I have your hats?"
