00:23 rue_house it will co-incide with some rapid accelerations
00:29 Anniepoo lol
00:29 Anniepoo rue_house++
05:48 veverak SpeedEvil: ad the thermocouple -> I can't use the thermocouple itself as extension wire?
05:48 SpeedEvil If the wire is long enough, you don't need any extension
05:50 Jak_o_Shadows thermocouples are magic as far as i'm concerned
05:52 veverak hmm
05:53 verak just wants to make closed box with eletro
05:53 veverak and put on one side connectors for all the stuff
05:53 veverak thermocouples are tricky it seems :)
06:59 anonnumberanon man I think I may have finished my quadcopter flight controller code
06:59 anonnumberanon gonna go to school and test it now
09:12 veverak another topic
09:12 veverak automatic flowering
09:12 veverak "non-electrical" so far
09:12 veverak any tips about nice system to control flow in tube ?
09:12 verak counts on ggravity to provide the water to the fl
09:12 veverak but needs to limit it somehow
09:19 SpeedEvil A valve.
09:21 veverak wanted to 3d print, didn;t found any design
09:22 veverak but I am thinking that it can be easire
09:22 veverak maybe I can just push with screw on the tube
09:30 chris_99 how expensive are electronic flow control valves
09:32 veverak pointless to use electronic
09:32 veverak s
09:54 SpeedEvil quite cheap
09:54 SpeedEvil aquarium stuff may work well too
09:58 SpeedEvil http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aquarium-Fish-Tank-Air-Distributor-Splitter-Pump-Control-Valve-Tap-Switch-10-Pcs-/391054944036?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5b0cb0e724 for example, plus a cheap servo
09:59 SpeedEvil http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clear-Translucent-Silicone-Tubing-FDA-Approved-Milk-Hose-Beer-Pipe-Soft-Rubber-M-/221489619116?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item3391cf60ac or jjust that, pinched by a servo and a block
10:01 veverak omfg
10:01 veverak again
10:01 veverak electronics is pointles
10:01 veverak ...
10:02 veverak why the hell I would need electronics for this simple solution?
10:06 veverak or, simple problem, my bad
10:08 SpeedEvil Perhaps because the default assumption is that you're being on-topic?
10:09 veverak 15:50:16 veverak another topic | <<
10:09 veverak second sentence "non-electrical"
10:12 SpeedEvil 'non-electrical so far' implies it needs to be electrified
10:13 veverak nope
10:23 deshipu hydraulic logic gates ftw!
10:23 deshipu I wonder if one could build a beer-powered computer
10:25 chris_99 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluidics
10:28 veverak deshipu: that sounds interesting :D
10:51 veverak problem solved
10:51 veverak put nut on the "tube"
10:51 veverak use moderate amount of tape to hold it in place
10:51 veverak create hole in the tube so you can put screw into that nut
10:51 veverak done!
