00:24 Jak_o_Shadows yup
00:25 JEntrep hi :)
00:25 JEntrep anyone working on any cool projects?
00:25 JEntrep just looking to check new stuff out
00:26 Jak_o_Shadows I just swapped power supply on my 3d printer cause the old one pblew up
00:26 JEntrep ah
00:27 Anniepoo I'm fiddling with the motor on my lathe
00:28 JEntrep hmmm
00:30 JEntrep is this more a mixture channel?
00:30 JEntrep electronics, maachining, manufacturing, etc.?
00:30 JEntrep *more of a
00:31 Tom_itx yep
00:33 JEntrep dedicated to more side-project-like projects?
00:33 JEntrep Or is anyone engaging in theoretical conversations about robotic systems?
00:33 Jak_o_Shadows whatever happened to robustra anyway?
01:21 Anniepoo back, the motor's now mounted, I still have two small broken parts that need replaced, so that'll wait til tomorrow, I'll run over to partner's house to machine them.
02:06 orlock http://en.crypt.net.au/DIY_Guide_Scope/
02:09 botnut what's up with these rumors of walmart closing?
04:39 Jak_o_Shadows bloody bed height.
06:41 mumptai here is the livestream of the german part of the eurobot competition: rtmp://videoag.fsmpi.rwth-aachen.de/live/eurobot
08:35 jthornton hmm, I wonder why it wanted a password to mount the 2TB drive?
08:36 hornton goes back to trying to figure out back
09:03 jthornton now I need to figure out how to create a symbolic link to the 2TB drive
09:03 jthornton opps wrong channel
09:03 Tom_itx new MB keeps going to sleep on me...
09:16 jthornton I had one that did that and just quit using it
11:07 rue_bed sounds like you need an os that does what you telll it to
11:08 SpeedEvil I think that is called a secetary.
11:09 Tom_itx all is well now
12:44 LiohAu I would like to understand the difference between variable stiffness actuators and series elastic actuators. For now, what I understood is that the VSA is an improvement on SEA, am I right?
13:06 LiohAu the only activity of that channel is this guy flooding freenode?
13:25 deshipu LiohAu: it has its busy times, but not often
13:25 deshipu LiohAu: from what I can tell, people here are mostly into 3d printers and lathes
22:58 Jak_o_Shadows Bloody hell, i'm in the top two pages for google searching "robot arm ik"
23:01 Jak_o_Shadows literally only written up cyclic coordinate descent (CCD) (badly), and have examples of Jacobian transpose and jacobian psuedo-inverse in code
