01:53 psYbR_ jason__: corded... no.. unless you
01:53 psYbR_ 're playing with 240v
01:54 Jak_o_Shadows1 Some might be universal motors, you can get away with 50 V + DC there, sometimes.
03:01 hypodyne howdy
03:25 Jak_o_Shadows1 yo
03:38 hypodyne is it always this slow in the room.
03:38 hypodyne I am interested in making an InMoov robot.
03:39 hypodyne have to build a 3d printer first though.
03:39 Jak_o_Shadows1 yeah
03:41 Jak_o_Shadows1 what's ain InMoov robot?\
03:42 hypodyne open source robot which all the parts are 3d printed.. http://inmoov.fr/
03:44 hypodyne life sized..
05:09 anonnumberanon I wonder if this guy was just trying to shill his product.
15:33 rue_house jason__, he's wrong
15:34 rue_house you can run them on about 24VDC, they dont run fast, and they dont usually reverse
15:34 rue_house but they will work
15:34 rue_house try one, ust on some batteries
15:34 rue_house not one with a speed controller
15:34 rue_house the DC would screw that up
15:35 adam789654123 hello rue_house
15:37 rue_house hi
15:38 adam789654123 im betting my hat that you're working on something now
15:38 rue_house yup, its a small project
15:38 rue_house its one I repeat a lot
15:39 adam789654123 oh
15:39 adam789654123 like an exercise
15:39 rue_house I call it "getting off my ass"
15:39 rue_house :)
15:39 adam789654123 oh
15:39 adam789654123 well, by now you're finished
15:39 Tom_itx disengage ass magnets
15:39 rue_house I have to go vote, do shopping, and then try to finish the mecha before it gets too dark/late
15:40 Tom_itx don't forget to eat
15:40 rue_house fffffff
15:40 adam789654123 well i planted 4 trees today and build some lids for coldframes yesterday
15:40 adam789654123 :P
15:41 adam789654123 actually, the lids were a two day project
15:41 adam789654123 5 of them
15:41 adam789654123 about 3'x8'
15:43 adam789654123 hopefully rue_house is off to work
15:48 rue_shop4 and work on the clock
15:48 adam789654123 what kind of clock is it?
15:48 rue_shop4 I suppose I should get some rtc modules so that if plans C. D, E dont work out, I still have plan B
15:48 rue_shop4 is a digitial wall clock
15:48 adam789654123 one day i want to build a mechanical one! :D
15:49 adam789654123 but it would be awsome to build a digital one!
15:49 rue_shop4 http://ruemohr.org/~ircjunk/projects/wallclock/p1070503.jpg
15:49 adam789654123 no images on my comp now
15:49 rue_shop4 the paper is just thrown on to see the digits for now
15:49 adam789654123 working from the terminal
15:49 rue_shop4 k
15:49 rue_shop4 what did you do to X?
15:49 adam789654123 how do you build a digital clock?
15:49 adam789654123 to you use a timer chip?
15:50 rue_shop4 long story, its been 19 years, the plan has changed a few times
15:50 adam789654123 oh... i reinstalled my system, and ive been too buisy to play with the windowing stuff
15:50 e_shop4 nods, been t
15:50 adam789654123 so im just working from the terminal for now
15:50 adam789654123 the windowing stuff is going to be a project, because the stuff i want to use is sort of custom, or not standard
15:51 rue_shop4 you didn't install X as a prepackaged monoglob, and now you cant find 3 or 4 of the peices you need to make it works right
15:51 adam789654123 so i have put it the extra effort to get it to work
15:51 TheCommieDuck I'm probably missing something very obvious here, but if I had this joint: http://puu.sh/kP29D/3ce75726e4.png except the second joint's origin was translated along Y1, and was trying to find the DH parameters...does it make any actual difference? it doesn't make sense to have that distance in Y1 as the normal displacement.
15:51 rue_shop4 arg, I cant do math now
15:51 rue_shop4 gonna go vote, bbl
15:51 adam789654123 well... im using arch linux, so its a stripped down linux to begin with
15:51 adam789654123 seeya rue_shop4
15:53 adam789654123 a 555 chip, if memory serves
15:53 adam789654123 it looked interesting, like a tiny computer. more than ive taken the time to understand
21:15 xrlk is this the reddit channel for underactuated robotics
21:29 ace4016 no
21:29 ace4016 this channel predates reddit
21:35 xrlk tru
22:19 rue_house adam is running linux on a 555, man, they will port linux to everything
22:31 ace4016 lol
