12:20 AM _unreal_: Tom_L, BEC's are very cheap
12:23 AM _unreal_: $
03:26 AM rue_shop4: ok, the freq gen board works
03:26 AM rue_shop4: I'll step the freq .45Mhz when the knob is pushed in, and 0.01Mhz when its normal
03:26 AM rue_shop4: I need a 4 digit display
03:28 AM rue_shop4: oohm hmmm
03:28 AM rue_shop4: I designed it with a 1x16 lcd
03:28 AM rue_shop4: hmmmm
03:28 AM rue_shop4: do I use the leds or the lcd...
03:29 AM rue_shop4: 4 digit led, or 16 character lcd....
03:29 AM rue_shop4: I have a lot of lcds
03:33 AM veverak: ooooh
03:33 AM veverak: my C++ magic just achieved new level of evil
03:33 AM rue_shop4: ?
03:33 AM veverak: 18 return treesNodesCollides< 3 >( SimpleCollisionTreeNode( LineCollisionQuery( line, axes ) ),
03:33 AM veverak: 19 OcNodeCollisionQuery( env.getTree().getRoot< OcProxyNode< OccupancyContent > >() ),
03:33 AM veverak: 20 [&]( const auto&, const OcNodeCollisionQuery< OccupancyContent >& query ) {
03:33 AM veverak: 21 return ****query > Occupancy( 0.5 );
03:33 AM veverak: 22 } );
03:33 AM veverak: that four * <3
03:34 AM rue_shop4: ouch
03:37 AM veverak: everything that is proxy class or some kind of overlay
03:38 AM veverak: provides it's content via the '*' prefix operator
03:38 AM veverak: in most cases it improves readibility
03:38 AM veverak: Proxy< Item > proxy; Item it = *proxy; < that is quite a nice syntax
03:38 AM veverak: but in the case above this wen wild and resulted in **** <3
03:38 AM veverak: :)
06:14 AM Miyu is now known as hackkitten
06:56 AM SpeedEvil: ace4016: yeah - this is so I can overdesign a device, and not analyse it properly, and just load it up to the desired limit in all axes, and confirm it's fine. Digital is of course better
06:56 AM SpeedEvil: ^underdesign
06:58 AM Jak_o_Shadows: I'm still really surprised that simple strain gauge typey sensors that fail aren't a thing.
06:58 AM Jak_o_Shadows: Unless of course its' cause you can normally just look and see when it fails.
12:29 PM _unreal_: !$#%@#% rain
12:29 PM _unreal_: trying to finish fixing the riding lawnmower
12:30 PM _unreal_: drive belt broke and a few other things need fixing
01:05 PM VansFannel_ is now known as VansFannel
01:05 PM VansFannel: Hi!
01:05 PM VansFannel: I'm 43 years old and I want to learn robotics. Do you recommend me Lego Mindstorms ev3? Thanks
01:23 PM VansFannel: I'm 43 years old and I want to learn robotics. Do you recommend me Lego Mindstorms ev3? Thanks
01:27 PM Hamilton: VansFannel, That's a good start. Also look into Arduino
01:29 PM VansFannel: Hamilton, thanks. Now, I'm learning ROS, and want to "touch" something, instead of doing everything at simulator.
01:29 PM Hamilton: VansFannel, Well I don't know ROS yet
01:36 PM VansFannel: Thanks, Hamilton.
01:38 PM VansFannel: I'm 43 years old and I want to learn robotics. Do you recommend me Lego Mindstorms ev3? Thanks
02:13 PM eryc: you can buy a robot kit
03:17 PM Tom_L: i'd find something better than mindstorms
04:31 PM _unreal_: My pri CNC hat showed up
06:32 PM _unreal_: no one live?
08:35 PM Tom_L: n
08:35 PM Tom_L: o
09:10 PM Jak_o_Shadows: I swear to god it takes me longer to setup a testing framework than to do anything else
