01:11 Jak_o_Shadows yo
01:12 password2 hows it going?
01:16 Jak_o_Shadows blargh
03:30 rue_house robots!
04:43 deshipu kill all humans
04:46 rue_house stand by, I'm still part human
04:46 deshipu disgusting
04:49 pausbiru Heyya
04:50 deshipu what's up pausbiru
04:50 pausbiru What's got on here deshipu?
04:50 pausbiru Im new herr
04:51 Jak_o_Shadows I REALLY need to finish my page about IK
04:51 Jak_o_Shadows I can do so much better now
04:51 Jak_o_Shadows albeit I would explain it with more maths & matrices
04:54 deshipu Jak_o_Shadows: cool, that might push me into finishing my hexapod
04:54 deshipu Jak_o_Shadows: I'm stuck on body IK with it
04:55 Jak_o_Shadows I just don't have time for much
04:55 deshipu it's a question of priorities
04:55 deshipu NO SLEEP, MORE SCIENCE!
04:57 wolfmanjm deshipu: heh I need to push my stuff to github I have all the IK stuff done, although I could do yaw and pitch still but I'm not sure I see why it is needed
04:57 wolfmanjm but the body IK is relatively easy
05:09 deshipu wolfmanjm: it's not that it's hard, it's more that I can't get myself to work on it
05:09 deshipu wolfmanjm: debugging it is obnoxious
05:10 wolfmanjm yea that is why I wrote a hexapod simulator in ruby and GL
05:10 deshipu and when I have n+1 other fun projects...
05:10 wolfmanjm I test all the gaits and stuff out there first
05:10 wolfmanjm just finished ripple gait :) it works on the simulator now need to test it on the real thing
05:11 wolfmanjm so I have all three gaits now, tripod wave and now ripple (plus tripod rotate and wave rotate)
05:12 wolfmanjm but I'm wondering why it needs pitch and roll other than it looks neat
05:24 deshipu pitch is useful if you have a camera on it
