08:48 PM Jak_o_Shadows: I got my L6219 stepper motor drivers
08:48 PM Jak_o_Shadows: HOPEFULLY I can get them to drive christmas lights
10:03 PM Tom_L: i should send you some of these 18200
10:09 PM Jak_o_Shadows: aha
10:09 PM Jak_o_Shadows: save it for someone who is actually doing robotics
10:10 PM Tom_L: just like all the mega32u2.. they're just sitting around collecting dust
10:11 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/boards/new_batch/USB_chips.jpg
10:12 PM Jak_o_Shadows: wow
10:13 PM Jak_o_Shadows: I've never really bought more than 10 IC at a time
10:13 PM Tom_L: i did a bunch of avr programmers at one point
10:17 PM Jak_o_Shadows: ah
10:19 PM Tom_L: back then there was a run on those chips so i got all the stock available to make the programmers
10:20 PM Tom_L: there was a ps3 hack of some sort they needed those chips to program it i guess
10:20 PM Jak_o_Shadows: ah, I think I remember that
10:20 PM Tom_L: so they became in high demand
10:21 PM Tom_L: i got all digikey and mouser had at the time
10:21 PM Jak_o_Shadows: As opposed to now, where lots of things are just slightly rarer than they used to be
10:21 PM Jak_o_Shadows: I wish It'd grabed more STM32F042
10:22 PM Tom_L: i still have one of those stm32 demo boards i've barely touched
10:22 PM Tom_L: f4?
10:22 PM Tom_L: i don't remember
10:22 PM Jak_o_Shadows: Probably a F4
10:22 PM Jak_o_Shadows: I used the F042's because they are small
10:22 PM Jak_o_Shadows: Not THE smallest, but closest
10:22 PM Jak_o_Shadows: close*
10:24 PM Tom_L: i hand soldered the first ~200 or so of those programmers then built a toaster oven
10:24 PM Jak_o_Shadows: oof
10:26 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/boards/USBTiny_Mkii/new_kits/USBTinyMkII_full_kit_desc.jpg
10:26 PM Tom_L: that was an older version
10:26 PM Tom_L: newest version had a recovery clock built on it in case you bricked one
