| LunaVorax | Hi! | 07:48 |
| whitequark | sigh | 09:57 |
| whitequark | just received two boards from a russian reseller, both originated from a chinese vendor | 09:57 |
| whitequark | http://devicter.ru/goods/Iteadmaple-V1-0 and http://devicter.ru/goods/Color-LCD-Shield?from=YWZk | 09:58 |
| whitequark | (from different chinese vendors) | 09:58 |
| whitequark | itead did a nice job. elecfreaks decided that washing boards is optional | 09:59 |
| whitequark | and so is retaining the antiscratch film on the LCD | 09:59 |
| whitequark | and so is not scratching / not smearing LCD | 09:59 |
| whitequark | and they glued it with a kind of polyethylene adhesive which just fell off both from LCD and PCB | 09:59 |
| whitequark | complete with ink of the QA mark. | 09:59 |
| whitequark | sigh. | 10:00 |
| wpwrak | smart electronics - the QA mark self-destructs if the quality can no longer be assured | 11:14 |
| whitequark | also, say hello to a DFU bootloader misadvertising its version | 11:21 |
| whitequark | which was a screwup of a vendor whose board my vendor has cloned, and it was fixed in upstream, but who cares about such unimportant subtleties | 11:21 |
| larsc | you care ;) | 11:23 |
| wpwrak | whitequark: that was a trap to punish those cloners :) | 11:37 |
| whitequark | oooh crap | 11:42 |
| whitequark | the lcd backlight driver produces that peculiar sound | 11:42 |
| whitequark | and the polyethylene blob is visible right in the center of the display | 11:43 |
| whitequark | what a waste of money | 11:43 |
| whitequark | $30! | 11:43 |
| whitequark | fortunately the company bought it for me | 11:45 |
| kristianpaul | pattern generator | 14:25 |
| kristianpaul | like a low power sdr? :-) | 14:26 |
| larsc | more like a pattern generator ;) | 14:26 |
| kristianpaul | larsc: it could broadcast a call sign | 15:13 |
| kristianpaul | hehe | 15:13 |
| kristianpaul | at two feets away | 15:13 |
| qi-bot | [commit] Xiangfu: cgminer: update to 2.10.4, include root-files (master) http://qi-hw.com/p/openwrt-packages/25b0a63 | 15:41 |
| wpwrak | well, you could use it to produce some AM noise :) | 15:47 |
| kristianpaul | yay ;-) | 15:57 |
| kristianpaul | wpwrak: and FM? | 15:57 |
| wpwrak | hmm no, the highest frequency you can sometimes produce is 84 MHz (excluding harmonics). according to wikipedia, FM radio normally begins at 87.5 MHz. | 16:31 |
| wpwrak | you could try to use harmonics, of which you should have a lot, given that it's a square wave, but that's a bit ugly. | 16:32 |
| Action: wpwrak hates it when an ethernet switch fails causing me to think the (headless) pc connected to it is the one that went down ... | 22:44 | |
