[00:33:58] <rue_shop3> I'v got an idea, to gut servos and make a central loop controller
[00:34:09] <rue_shop3> gutting an SG90 was easy
[00:34:26] <rue_shop3> I'm wondering how many loops I can control with one 14Mhz 8 bit avr
[00:49:09] <rue_shop3> not sure what to use for a motor driver
[01:06:22] <rue_house> L1990H looks plausable
[01:06:29] <rue_house> just an 8 pin dip

[05:12:59] <bindigoat> robotics law
[05:59:26] <SpeedEvil> In what aspect?
[06:00:14] <SpeedEvil> If it's trying to do 'must not endanger a human' - modern robots may not be able to sense a human at all - never mind understanding of what 'endanger' might mean
[06:03:46] <deshipu> SpeedEvil: it's some nuts conspiraty theory crap
[06:03:56] <deshipu> conspiracy
[14:09:40] <Snert> maybe... must move outside of it's motion range zone.
[14:09:52] <Snert> must not, I mean.
[14:10:15] <Snert> because if it moves out of safety range then that may hurt a human.
[14:10:58] <Snert> I never did hear zactly what went wrong when the robot killed the guy a few months back.
[15:55:21] * z64555 considers building his own arc welder
[16:00:09] <z64555> letsee.. all it does, is adjust the voltage of power-line to adjust current?
[16:00:29] <z64555> so a crappy one could be build with a variac and a suitable coil
[16:03:27] <z64555> a DC or square wave could theoritically transfer more power. the DC arc is a bit smoother
[16:05:05] <z64555> hm, somebody has even made one using a microwave's transformer
[16:05:16] <z64555> *microwave oven
[16:15:17] <deshipu> hmm, microwave welding...
[17:24:16] <z64555> well, no, it doesn't use the microwave's magnetron to do the welding
[17:24:31] <z64555> that's just a darwin award waiting
[17:24:54] <z64555> it uses the transformer, and maybe power supply, to the magnetron
[17:25:21] <z64555> which can range from 800W to 2.2KW
[22:47:20] <zhanx> Evening
[22:48:08] <rue_shop3> I cant think
[22:49:01] <zhanx> Why
[22:49:14] <orlock> hey zhanx
[22:49:15] <rue_shop3> cant figure it out FOR SOME REASON
[22:49:30] <orlock> poutine defeciency
[22:49:43] <zhanx> Needs more meat
[22:49:49] <rue_shop3> yea, I can counter that with a heartattack, right?
[22:50:26] <zhanx> Nope
[22:51:35] <rue_shop3> I have a plan for the most awesome driveway pillar
[22:52:18] <ace4016> what does the pillar do?
