01:34 AM rue_bed2: polprog, haha great thread!
02:59 AM Jak_o_Shadows: I bought 100 dioes
02:59 AM Jak_o_Shadows: suddently aliexpress thinks i'm really interested in diodes
02:59 AM Jak_o_Shadows: like, calm, i just bought 100
04:32 AM polprog: lol
04:33 AM polprog: ive got a cool stm32f0 board to rev engineer ;)
03:43 PM rue_shop1: whats it form?
03:45 PM polprog: you know those vehicle sharing stuff
03:46 PM polprog: not sure if its in canada
03:46 PM polprog: basically its the brains of that
03:46 PM polprog: cant say much
03:46 PM polprog: ;)
03:49 PM rue_mohr: sounds like the chargepoint controllers that all died
03:49 PM rue_mohr: I get to see if I can re-brain about 6 chargers locally
03:54 PM polprog: this is the sorta thing where you find a vacant one, log in with an app and drive it
03:55 PM rue_mohr: ah
03:56 PM veverak: interesting
04:09 PM polprog: dunno
04:09 PM polprog: tired of typing
04:09 PM polprog: its a silly thing youre right
04:09 PM polprog: forget it lol
04:09 PM veverak: typing is still much faster than mouse
04:09 PM veverak: :)
04:10 PM veverak: and you can still write some aliases for terminal to make it even faster
04:10 PM polprog: yeah i think the real solution is to get my keyboard in a more comfy position
04:10 PM polprog: ironically, the bench is the smallest workspace and has the biggest kb
04:11 PM polprog: hmm there was some polish guy here as well
04:11 PM polprog: either you or deshipu
04:11 PM polprog: can't remember
04:12 PM veverak: deshipu, but he does not live there anymore :)
04:12 PM * veverak is from Czech Republic
04:12 PM veverak: oh, I see
04:12 PM veverak: hmm
04:12 PM veverak: polprog: well, if it's not normal computer usage, it may make sense
04:12 PM veverak: but
04:12 PM veverak: alternative is to hookup small keyboard to arduino and let it act as keyboard to the computer
04:13 PM veverak: http://www.gammon.com.au/images/Arduino/Forum_quicktyper_Leonardo.jpg
04:13 PM polprog: i have a ps/2 pos keyboard but it needs some fucking ancient DOS to remap the keys
04:14 PM polprog: i really need to redo the bench setup
04:16 PM polprog: https://i.ibb.co/SKRpsnn/IMG-20190317-221142.jpg
04:17 PM polprog: i want to mount the screen on the wall and move either the 2nd monitor [ crt :( ] on the PC or still have one screen and have some space on the PC
04:18 PM polprog: i think ill go with the latter option. tried placing the monitor on the rigol but the scope's too shallow and the setup was all wonky
04:19 PM polprog: meh. blurry pic.
04:19 PM veverak: do you need the crt?
04:19 PM polprog: do i have anything better?
04:20 PM veverak: well
04:20 PM veverak: it does take a lot of space
04:20 PM polprog: not that CRT
04:20 PM veverak: and I believe you can find something flat second hand
04:20 PM polprog: thats for the sun comp. i mean i have a crt that sits on the main desk as a spare screen when im working with some sbc or need a second screen for my laptop
04:21 PM veverak: I see
04:21 PM polprog: i could make up a shelf that would allow me to move the keyboard under the scope and the drawers
04:33 PM polprog: hmm, thats a good idea
04:34 PM deshipu: someone called?
04:34 PM polprog: possibly
04:34 PM polprog: did you happen to study at PW?
04:34 PM deshipu: UAM
04:34 PM polprog: ah :/
04:35 PM deshipu: I have someone from UW nearby, though
04:36 PM polprog: i gotta get into an uni later this year and im considering the electronics faculty of PW
04:36 PM polprog: (WEiTI)
