00:00 rue_house but if I use ascii I can lock the framing
00:01 rue_house wait,t here are 10 data bits
00:01 rue_house that leaves 16-10 bits for channel identifiers
00:01 rue_house thats 6 bits, and I only have 8 channels
00:02 rue_house 00000000 00000000
00:02 rue_house 00fcccdd dddddddd
00:03 rue_house or I break it up into
00:03 rue_house 0fcccddd 1dddddddd
00:03 rue_house then its framed
00:49 rue_bed-aok it works
00:49 rue_bed-aok now I have to write pc software to read it
01:46 rue_bed-aok yay I got the pc softare written
03:33 deshipu rue_bed-aok: by "pc" you mean "windows"?
04:45 deshipu rue_bed-aok: that may be insteresting for you http://hackaday.com/2014/10/09/the-triple-delta-robot-arm-and-leg/
09:25 rue_house no I mean an intel based computer
20:02 wolfmanjm deshipu: getting there :) https://flic.kr/p/pkcwTy
23:08 rue_house ooooooooooooooh god, now the kinematics start
23:08 rue_house I have to choose a 0 position...
23:08 rue_house this may take me all night, in fact it may take me weeks and weeks of hard, long nights, but I swear, I'll only give up if I really feel like it
23:09 Jak_o_Shadows Kinematics for what?
23:15 rue_house I have made a motion capture arm
23:16 rue_house what should be the zero position
23:16 Jak_o_Shadows Depends on your actuators?
23:17 rue_house this has no actuators
23:18 Jak_o_Shadows oh. So it has an arm, and you move the arm, and you save the position?
23:18 rue_house yea
23:19 Jak_o_Shadows So you have encoders on the arm?
23:19 rue_house ... yea
23:20 Jak_o_Shadows There is no natural position for the encoders to be zero?
23:20 Jak_o_Shadows I'd just do straight.
23:20 rue_house no, they are abolute encoders
23:21 rue_house 10 bit
23:31 rue_house nono, I'm gonna make this make sense
