04:09 AM Jak_o_Shadows: Pretty displays. Need plotter. Mus t be nice not having to wait for postage.
04:15 AM Jak_o_Shadows: My boards from OSHPark still aren't here
04:15 AM polprog: I found single sided board pretty easy and rewarding to do
04:15 AM polprog: ofc, i should work on SMD-fying them to not have to drill holes :P
04:36 AM Jak_o_Shadows: Also, I have no idea what rue built.
04:37 AM Jak_o_Shadows: Through I commend aking approximately a million photos throughout
04:37 AM Jak_o_Shadows: Yeah polprog, holes are just a pain to route around. My boards cming forom OSHpark are all SMD except the connectors
04:38 AM Jak_o_Shadows: I also wanted to make them really small.
04:38 AM polprog: rue is building a rue thing :P
04:38 AM Jak_o_Shadows: I think they ended up 23x14mm or something?
04:38 AM polprog: ooh neat
04:38 AM polprog: the smallest board i fabbed was a QFN16 breakout with 1.27mm connectors
04:39 AM polprog: it was less than 1cm by 1cm
04:39 AM polprog: it was on my first "job"
04:41 AM Jak_o_Shadows: https://pasteall.org/media/c/6/c6822f7e68299a072d79fa010d0f161d.png
04:41 AM Jak_o_Shadows: tiny
04:42 AM polprog: heh, these pin headers are massive compared
04:42 AM Jak_o_Shadows: yep
04:42 AM Jak_o_Shadows: standard servo connections
04:42 AM Jak_o_Shadows: it's for making a smarter servo
04:42 AM Jak_o_Shadows: well, 3 anyway
04:42 AM polprog: cool
04:45 AM Jak_o_Shadows: i2c, but it's the same pins for CAN
04:45 AM Jak_o_Shadows: so i wouldn't need to repogram too much
05:13 AM Jak_o_Shadows: Hmm. I should learn how to wire lace
07:15 AM Hamilton1 is now known as Hamilton
07:33 AM Hamilton: I want to make some changes to a Ground Control unit for a simulated Quad (With ArduPilot). I think the best stack for this is setting up a ROS node for plotting the quad, a ROS node for MavLink and a GC software. Am I right?
07:34 AM deshipu: Hamilton: we don't have many people who use ROS in here
07:35 AM Hamilton: deshipu, I think srk had ROS experience ?
07:38 AM Hamilton: deshipu, I see you live in Zurich. Have you attended ETH by any change?
09:46 AM deshipu: Hamilton: no, I moved here long after the uni
09:47 AM deshipu: Hamilton: I mean I've been to ETH for some meetups and such, but I didn't study there
09:48 AM Hamilton: deshipu, what is the optimum place for studying graduate level robotics in Europe in your opinion? ETH vs TUM or else?
10:21 AM deshipu: Hamilton: I have no idea, I studied math
11:49 AM Steffann is now known as Steffanx
01:46 PM Phrkd is now known as Phreaked
02:56 PM sinned6915359 is now known as sinned6915
07:05 PM rue__ is now known as rue_mohr
07:48 PM orlock: Happy Killdozer Day!
