| wpwrak | hmmm :) | 00:31 |
| wolfspraul | it looks like CERN is sponsoring some KiCad work? | 01:26 |
| wolfspraul | in the flood of mails I may have identified something like that, need to check a little whether it's a meaningful contribution, but it sounds like | 01:26 |
| qi-bot | The build was successfull, see images here: http://fidelio.qi-hardware.com/~xiangfu/compile-log/openwrt-xburst.full_system-09282011-2207/ | 02:13 |
| rejon | wolfspraul, is that spectec wifi chip working on latest builds of nn image? | 03:13 |
| rejon | xiangfu is where? | 03:13 |
| wolfspraul | rejon: I doubt it's working out of the box | 03:20 |
| wolfspraul | xiangfu is traveling over the chinese holidays, online once in a while | 03:20 |
| rejon | ok | 03:21 |
| rejon | wolfspraul, did you get any more ben-wpan? | 03:22 |
| wolfspraul | not yet | 03:22 |
| wolfspraul | good point, have to order more from tuxbrain :-) | 03:22 |
| wpwrak | regarding CERN: https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg06976.html | 03:42 |
| kristianpaul | very interesting threads in cern mail lists http://lists.ohwr.org/sympa/arc/oh-workshop-2011/2011-09/msg00004.html | 04:34 |
| wpwrak | grmbl. X crash :-( | 05:25 |
| wpwrak | wolfspraul: did you see ? <wpwrak> regarding CERN: https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg06976.html | 05:48 |
| wpwrak | and i think our next project should be a communication satellite for wolfgang :) | 05:48 |
| wolfspraul | I saw that mail but I thought it was a little light on details | 05:50 |
| wolfspraul | but maybe that is all for now | 05:50 |
| wpwrak | yeah, that's all i saw about it for now about putting resources into it. there's a bit more technical stuff on the cern side. | 05:53 |
| wpwrak | here, a bit hidden in "phase II" of the list here: http://www.ohwr.org/projects/ohr-meta/wiki/Foss-pcb | 06:12 |
| qi-bot | [commit] Werner Almesberger: labsw/: redesigned rear connections to pair in/out by "near" potential (master) http://qi-hw.com/p/wernermisc/9ffb0c8 | 06:12 |
| qi-bot | [commit] Werner Almesberger: labsw/: re-layout for the various design changes (including potential separation) (master) http://qi-hw.com/p/wernermisc/7bc6c89 | 06:12 |
| qi-bot | [commit] Werner Almesberger: labsw/: added partially populated DIP6 sockets since DIP4 is hard to source (master) http://qi-hw.com/p/wernermisc/162db38 | 09:55 |
| qi-bot | [commit] Werner Almesberger: labsw/labsw.brd: tightened some traces (master) http://qi-hw.com/p/wernermisc/a124f1b | 09:55 |
| DocScrutinizer2 | haha, now I see how wpwrak could dig out those weird "green" sockets | 10:11 |
| DocScrutinizer2 | wpwrak: don't forget by any chance to insert dummy wire stubs into the 2 unused pins of the DIP6 | 10:13 |
| DocScrutinizer2 | or acrylic glue | 10:13 |
| DocScrutinizer2 | dang | 10:13 |
| DocScrutinizer | wpwrak: you don't want to get confused and occasionally insert the chip one position off | 10:15 |
| DocScrutinizer | DIP4 ? Hell, yeah, never seen... | 10:17 |
| roh | 11:28 | |
| wpwrak | DocScrutinizer: if you mis-insert, nothing bad will happen (except the circuit not operating, of course) | 12:45 |
| DocScrutinizer | aaah, of course | 12:46 |
| wpwrak | DocScrutinizer: it's for the opto-couplers. i use small ones in DIP4. i pair most of them in DIP8, but there's one pair i can't put next to each other (due to possible difference in potential) | 12:47 |
| DocScrutinizer | anyway blocking the unused contacts with a "plug" is a nice thing to do | 12:47 |
| DocScrutinizer | (optocouplers) gathered as much | 12:48 |
| wpwrak | do you know of such a "plug" ? i know this sort of thing for 100 mil heades (little plastic cones) but i've never seen anything like this for DIP | 12:49 |
| DocScrutinizer | well, for mass production you probably would want to use single contacts. For small series you as well could cut away the excessive contacts from a socket, with a saw | 12:50 |
| DocScrutinizer | no, I dunno such plugs for DIP etc contacts. I'd use copper wire, insert, cut | 12:51 |
| wpwrak | oh, i'll leave holes for the extra contacts. i made a nice 4/6 DIP footprint for that ;-) | 12:52 |
| DocScrutinizer | or simply apply a small drop of 2k-epoxy | 12:52 |
| wpwrak | that's probably the most professional way :) | 12:52 |
| wpwrak | anyway, if you get it wrong, nothing bad will happen. there are other potential mistakes you could make, such as mis-rotating. | 12:53 |
| DocScrutinizer | yup, sure | 12:53 |
| wpwrak | oh, very good, tyco have not renamed themselves to "TE connectivity". gee. too much brand name recognition ? | 13:21 |
| wpwrak | s/not/now/ | 13:22 |
| wpwrak | the future of 3D printing: http://krebsonsecurity.com/2011/09/gang-used-3d-printers-for-atm-skimmers/ | 20:29 |
| larsc | someone recently posted this link: http://www.vimeo.com/29670599 (note lekernel is in the background probably hacking on milkymist) | 20:33 |
| wpwrak | is it a demo to illustrate that streaming video doesn't work ? :) | 20:36 |
| larsc | it needs flash i think | 20:36 |
| wpwrak | that i have. even with firefox. but that doesn't seem to help much. | 20:37 |
| larsc | hm | 20:37 |
| larsc | maybe it was to offensive ;) | 20:38 |
| wpwrak | ah, 33 seconds. then it stopped again. | 20:38 |
| kristianpaul | ha, paula i know her :) | 20:46 |
| kristianpaul | what small world | 20:46 |
| kristianpaul | i had seems similar histories but with coins, i dint knew it some are made from plastic already | 20:49 |
| kristianpaul | go a bar, print some before coins, have good beer :) | 20:49 |
| wpwrak | good idea. making the plastic coin is probably something like 100x as expensive as the real coin ;-) | 20:52 |
| kristianpaul | printcoin beats bitcoin soon? | 20:53 |
| DocScrutinizer | isn't bitcoin actually just a very nifty distributed computing project aimed at creating a giant rainbow table? ;-) | 23:14 |
| kristianpaul | kinda yes :) | 23:15 |
| tsath | question; is the USB port on the Ben fully functional? | 23:18 |
| DocScrutinizer | hah | 23:18 |
| Ayla | what does "fully functional" means | 23:18 |
| tsath | that I could plug in a USB mouse, or other USB devices. | 23:19 |
| larsc | tsath: it is not a usb host port | 23:19 |
| tsath | ah. ok | 23:19 |
| larsc | you can use your nanonote as a usb mouse though | 23:19 |
| DocScrutinizer | ben *is* a "USB mouse" | 23:19 |
| tsath | i see. | 23:19 |
| larsc | or keyboard, or soundcard, or pendrive | 23:19 |
| DocScrutinizer | more precisely, ben is a usb peripheral | 23:20 |
| kristianpaul | and do not support USB host :) | 23:20 |
| DocScrutinizer | sometimes also called gadget iirc | 23:20 |
| tsath | yeath. gadget ethernet is nice. | 23:21 |
| tsath | any plans for Ben 2.0? | 23:21 |
| Ayla | what about USB host on the MMC slot? | 23:22 |
| tsath | good question | 23:23 |
| wpwrak | Ayla: you mean something like this ? http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/pipermail/discussion/2011-September/008933.html | 23:35 |
| Ayla | yes | 23:37 |
| Ayla | somebody actually started this or is it just a random thought? | 23:37 |
| wpwrak | just a random thought. so you can still grab it :-) | 23:38 |
| wpwrak | btw, you may not even need a boost converter for power. i could imagine that quite a lot of USB peripherals also work with VBUS = 3.3 V. but you'd have to give it a try. | 23:38 |
| Ayla | I'm a software guy. I'd be lost :) | 23:38 |
| wpwrak | this would be 99% software :) | 23:39 |
| Ayla | Yeah. Well, I'd gladly help if somebody takes the project | 23:39 |
| Ayla | but currently I'm working on so many projects at the same time | 23:39 |
