[00:26:56] <Casper> wasn't too bad for mine
[00:27:23] <Casper> rue_house: http://i.imgur.com/3rTSHA6.jpg
[00:50:34] <i-make-robots> rue_house: you around?
[00:50:45] <i-make-robots> at the VMMF I took pictures of your pull pull arms. I can't find the pics any more. Do you have any online, please?
[01:31:45] <rue_shop4> yes
[01:31:48] <rue_shop4> hi
[01:32:00] <rue_shop4> those are arms 7, 8, and 9
[01:32:14] <rue_shop4> http://ruemohr.org
[01:32:16] <orlock> rue_shop4: I gotta get a picture of this little device i grabbed from work for you
[01:32:35] <rue_shop4> http://ruemohr.org/%7Eircjunk/robots/arm9/slide.htm
[01:32:51] <rue_shop4> you can browse the directories, see arms 7, 8 and thats 9
[01:32:53] <orlock> rue_shop4: its got a nema23 driven linear drive
[01:32:58] <rue_shop4> orlock, hit me
[01:33:21] <rue_shop4> I just got these STUPID TLC5940 chips working
[01:33:33] <orlock> driven by a threaded rod style setup, but the "threads" are black
[01:33:37] <rue_shop4> and I dont care if most of my problem was a code bug
[01:33:41] <orlock> and rounded - i thought it was a rubber cover at first
[01:33:58] <orlock> but its some fancy metal shape with a ceramic coating?
[01:33:59] <rue_shop4> damnit he left again
[01:34:01] <rue_shop4> fffffffffff
[01:34:21] <ShadowZ> isn't there a Pibot somewhere?
[01:34:26] <ShadowZ> could use a mail system
[03:22:39] <Snert> I use ubuntu server love it.
[11:22:15] * Casper throws some fluxcore wire at rue_shop4
[13:12:55] <rue_house> mmmm
[13:36:18] <Casper> mmmm indeed
[15:16:37] <SpeedEvil> http://imgur.com/gallery/ZVzl8 - fun - I hadn't seen. Segways impact on the olympic sprint
[17:20:55] <anonnumberanon> ShadowZ, sup
[17:23:55] <ShadowZ> just the usual
[17:24:29] <anonnumberanon> That R101 man.
[17:24:30] <ShadowZ> finally getting a bit of rain around here, think hurricane season is starting
[17:24:45] <anonnumberanon> RR101
[17:25:29] <anonnumberanon> What type of watch does he want put the kaleidoscope thingy on, the pebble watch?
[17:25:43] <ShadowZ> likely a smart watch or a smart phone
[17:25:57] <ShadowZ> he mentioned the Android system
[17:27:10] <anonnumberanon> He's looking to hire someone for this job or just dotheprogramformeforfree.
[17:28:10] <ShadowZ> bit of both, I think
[17:49:31] <anonnumberanon> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5Ap6rkyBHY
[20:47:39] <rue_shop4> ok I have a number of tiny26 adc projects
[20:50:17] <Casper> you know rue_shop4... putting them upside down on some random chairs... is not a project...
[20:50:35] <rue_shop4> k
[20:50:42] <rue_shop4> how about an RGB colour sensor
[20:50:51] <Casper> that could be fun
[20:50:57] <rue_shop4> wait, I want to make a b&w colour sensor first, just to see how the critics react
[20:51:14] <rue_shop4> "it cant be done"
[20:51:17] <rue_shop4> pff
[20:51:19] <Casper> now, still debating between FC and C100
[20:51:23] <rue_shop4> show them
[20:51:29] <rue_shop4> C100?
[20:51:34] <rue_shop4> opposed to a C64?
[20:52:12] <Casper> C25
[20:52:14] <Casper> or FC
[20:52:18] <Casper> (welding)
[20:53:17] <rue_shop4> not flux core?
[20:53:35] <Casper> 100% co2 vs fluxcore...
[20:53:53] <Casper> sure, C100 is better, but the tank is expensive
[20:53:54] <rue_shop4> lease a pop machine and use it to get free co2 tanks
[20:54:32] <rue_shop4> wtf the jukebox crashed again
[20:54:55] <Casper> replace it with tawr's rpi
[20:55:12] <Casper> (he was saying it have a 1 year uptime yesterday)
[20:55:20] <rue_shop4> I had a P100 that ran for about 22 years, still works
[20:55:25] <rue_shop4> its just slow
[20:55:57] <rue_shop4> this sub 8 year old microitx cant stand for more than about a month without falling over
[20:57:26] <rue_shop4> I got the tlc5940 working
[21:28:45] <Tom_itx> flux core spatters too much
[21:29:26] <Tom_itx> rue_shop4, i think i've got you beat on the P100
[21:29:42] <Tom_itx> or at least matched
[21:30:12] <Tom_itx> both the P100 & P166 are up and running
[21:33:06] <Casper> Tom_itx: yeah that's what I find too, hard to clean... but CO2 need a 200$ bottle + gas + adapter and more of a pain to set up...
[21:33:34] <Tom_itx> iirc i use tri mix
[21:33:58] <Tom_itx> reverse polarity too isn't it iirc?
[21:34:33] <Tom_itx> for the fluxcore stuff that is
[21:34:46] <Casper> yes reverse polarity it seems...
[21:35:00] <Tom_itx> i got a roll of it but i don't think i've ever used it yet
[21:42:01] <Casper> my starter roll is gone... and I'm dissapointed with how little I welded with that spool...
[21:51:14] <Casper> Tom_itx: do you know how much more CO2 you get out of the same size bottle as argon?
[21:53:26] <rue_shop4> volcano puke
[22:23:44] <Tom_itx> Casper no
[23:00:21] <rue_shop4> ARF, the tiny26 has no asynchronous serial system
[23:00:56] <rue_shop4> I cant just push data
[23:00:59] <rue_shop4> damn
[23:40:39] <ShadowZ> GPIO?
[23:40:57] <ShadowZ> I mean, just hijack a GPIO and have it do the asynch serial
