01:18 AM kerfluffy: BigDog uses a go kart engine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BigDog
01:25 AM kerfluffy: wow.. 11kW
02:17 AM rue_mohr: EHEHEHEHEHEHEEHEHEHEHEHEEH
02:18 AM rue_mohr: silly loud as hell thing
03:06 AM BillyZane2 is now known as BillyZane
04:55 AM veverak: yes
04:55 AM veverak: build small robots
04:55 AM veverak: battery is good enough there
04:56 AM mumptai: scaling effects :-D
12:15 PM veverak: so
12:15 PM veverak: on embedded market
12:15 PM veverak: there exists intelligent displays
12:15 PM veverak: https://nextion.tech/
12:15 PM veverak: you define in IDE what should be displayed and then just send it data over uart/whatever to be shown
12:16 PM veverak: so your device does not care about actually converting data to pixels
12:16 PM veverak: is there some opensource alternative?
12:16 PM rue_mohr: arduino
12:16 PM rue_mohr: and the arduino can do realtime control of feedback systems too
12:16 PM rue_mohr: unlike that one
12:17 PM veverak: wat
12:17 PM veverak: I do not want any control
12:17 PM veverak: I just want something that displays data I am sending it
12:17 PM veverak: standalone unit
12:17 PM rue_mohr: soyou want a robot that has a screen on it that controlls nothing?
12:18 PM veverak: yes. just display data
12:18 PM veverak: anway, nextion has some way of feedbackwith touchscreens afaik
12:54 PM veverak: ok
12:55 PM veverak: so I asked supervizor to order few of them (2, from 4D systems and nextion)
12:55 PM veverak: let's test this
01:12 PM veverak: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIWxSLVAAQE
01:12 PM veverak: I mean, this is basically it, except for that IDE thing which gives me creeps
