[03:53:59] <Jak_o_Shadows> rue, I have that example of a blinking LED with the stm32f103c8t6 . It does use quite a large extra package, but it's not too horrible I don't think
[09:09:56] <rue_house> jak... postal strike/lockout, dont think I'm gonna see my boards in quite a while
[09:19:33] <jhylands> rue_house, are you in Canada?
[09:20:07] <rue_house> yes, all of me.
[09:20:21] <jhylands> Cool, didn't realize that - me too
[09:20:28] <rue_house> did you find someone who knows someone that knows me?
[09:20:36] * SpeedEvil is half in scotland, half in a state of denial.
[09:20:48] <rue_house> hehe
[09:20:55] <deshipu> how does one get there?
[09:21:07] <jhylands> I used to live in Scotland (little farming village in SW Ontario)
[09:21:50] <blib> I need a shocker for my robot - min len=1cm, max len = 9cm - regular len = 5 cm - where can I look to get one?
[09:21:57] <deshipu> do you go backwards through acceptance, depression, bargaining and anger?
[09:22:14] <jhylands> a shocker?
[09:22:20] <deshipu> shaker?
[09:23:20] <rue_house> sounds like he actually wants a linear actuator
[09:23:52] <rue_house> 'regular len'...
[09:23:54] <rue_house> hmm
[09:25:08] <deshipu> I don't know, it sounds a little bit perverse
[09:35:24] <blib> rue_house: I've a moving part
[09:35:35] <blib> I don't want it to go smaller than 1cm, and larger than 9cm
[09:36:40] <deshipu> who would
[09:37:06] <deshipu> tell us more about your small part
[09:38:37] <blib> There is a plane, and there is a channel. I don't want the channel to hit th plane
[09:38:43] <blib> so I want a spring between them :)
[09:40:04] <deshipu> shock absorber
[09:40:55] <deshipu> like in car's suspension?
[09:41:24] <deshipu> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber
[09:43:16] <blib> http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hillman-Extension-Spring-2Pcs-4cm-5-1cm-5-6cm-5-7cm-6-7cm-7-6cm-or-7-9cm-/261825050362?var=&hash=item3cf5fd36fa:m:mafPCq56FwvSPPNpAXvZVYg - thinking of using this
[09:43:32] <blib> deshipu: exactly what I need: Shock absorber
[09:44:44] <blib> deshipu: just can't find them small
[09:44:59] <deshipu> blib: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/RC_PRODUCT_SEARCH.asp?strSearch=absorber
[09:51:09] <blib> deshipu: now I need to figure out how to attach these with an angle :)
[20:24:51] <rue_house> I just had one of those monster drinks.
[20:25:01] <rue_house> I expect to explode in about 15 minutes
[20:42:49] <Tom_itx> your heart might
[22:34:13] <rue_shop3> should it be possable to fall asleep after having a monster drink?
[23:34:04] <anonnumberanon> 2-3 hours later
[23:34:17] <anonnumberanon> it helps to do something brain-intensive
[23:55:05] <Ubuntivity> Hello people. I wonder if all NEMA 17 have the same torque and angle of rotation?
