03:03 AM veverak: so
03:07 AM veverak: I've got an A for neuron networks
03:07 AM veverak: am I elligible to say that they are overrated now?
04:20 AM weyland|yutani: veverak, what kind?
04:27 AM veverak: all of them
04:27 AM veverak: i do not discriminate
04:40 AM weyland|yutani: well its just a tool which in most cases you will never need
05:15 AM veverak: exactly
07:21 AM deshipu: did you expect anything else?
08:04 AM SoCo_cpp__: rue_mohr That should have been a 2 picture gallery
08:08 AM SoCo_cpp__ is now known as SoCo_cpp_
08:14 AM veverak: deshipu: that it is overrateD? no
08:57 AM rue_mohr: SoCo_cpp_, I mean, its obvioulsy got no feedback pot, but I'm curious if they used a fully enabled baord
08:58 AM rue_mohr: ok thats odd
08:58 AM rue_mohr: so
08:58 AM rue_mohr: the 3 pads on the back of the board, I'm pretty sure, are for the pot
08:59 AM rue_mohr: I'd say that maybe they used modified firmware, but honestly, they dont usually bother with a microcontroller
09:00 AM SoCo_cpp_: I didn't lookup the chips. Was you thinking one was a microcontroller?
09:00 AM rue_mohr: the two with part numbers are dual fets
09:00 AM rue_mohr: the 3 legged ones are for fet driving
09:01 AM rue_mohr: the one with the top ground off is the controller
09:02 AM SoCo_cpp_: makes me think they just skipped the pot
09:05 AM rue_mohr: want to send a pic to the seller and claim faulty goods?
09:06 AM SoCo_cpp_: I probably won't mess with it. I'm sure the seller has no clue.
09:07 AM rue_mohr: they might be able to send you another one
09:08 AM rue_mohr: can you otherwise get ahold of another servo?
09:08 AM SoCo_cpp_: I'll try to put a better effort into picking one
09:09 AM SoCo_cpp_: This one, even if it was right, has tons of bad reviews
09:09 AM rue_mohr: part of why its strange to be missing the pot is that the shaft is usually used to hold the gears in place
09:10 AM SoCo_cpp_: I don't think the gear box was setup for one. I would think it'd be obvious parts were missing, but it didn't appear that way.
09:16 AM SpeedEvil: Is anyone aware of a relatively cheap very large servo? Kids-bike-handlebar class torque, not caring about speed.
09:16 AM SpeedEvil: Not caring at all about weight.
09:19 AM rue_mohr: SoCo_cpp_, the only difference is th pot
09:20 AM rue_mohr: SpeedEvil, well your beyond a windshield wiper motor
03:24 PM Tom_itx is now known as Tom_L
05:10 PM veverak: FastStructureModelCollisionQuery
05:10 PM veverak: my fantasy to name classes is lacking these days
07:34 PM rue_mohr: ok I reaaaaly need to get the force controller working over serial next
