wpwrak | hmm. you know that you've built a dual-voltage converter, don't you ? it outputs a high positive and a high negative voltage. they're roughly symmetric. | 00:13 |
---|---|---|
nicksydney | true...i was not sure in terms of whether i'm taking the measurement correctly as this is my first time building a complex circuit than a blinking led :) | 00:15 |
wpwrak | and yes, the values you're observing are what you should get :) | 00:18 |
wpwrak | well, with a bit of tolerance | 00:19 |
nicksydney | nice !...ok that means i've done everything correct (except for the botchy soldering work) | 00:21 |
nicksydney | you said yesterday to test the resistor without any load and battery...is the reason for debugging that way to make sure that the resistor was soldered properly ? that is something useful that i've learned from you | 00:22 |

Action: whitequark tries to figure out why did he dream about brutally murdering Kim Jong Un with... a lot of things in sequence, but eventually a spatula | 12:45 | |
whitequark | wtf, brain | 12:46 |
viric | spatula? brain? Kim Jong Un? | 12:56 |
viric | remember that their minister of foreign affairs has access to internet | 12:57 |
whitequark | woohoo, endmills! | 17:51 |
whitequark | sixty this time | 17:51 |
whitequark | (I learn on my mistakes) | 17:51 |
wpwrak | seems you got the quantity figured out. how about the quality ? :) | 17:53 |
whitequark | :) | 17:54 |
whitequark | these endmills in particular worked pretty well for me | 17:54 |
wpwrak | nicksydney: (check resistor) yes, to check that it a) has contact, and b) isn't shorted. unfortunately, it's more difficult to predict the value you're supposed to get in a circuit, since there will usually be other current paths around the resistor. but you can almost always get the basics. | 17:55 |
whitequark | also, I've got some UV [unintelligible symbols] | 17:56 |
whitequark | which *probably* translates to English as "UV curing silkscreen ink" | 17:57 |
whitequark | but could be anything | 17:57 |
wpwrak | so you now buy by the prettiness of the chinese squiggles ? | 18:16 |
whitequark | how else?! | 18:21 |
Action: whitequark also got a slide rule | 18:22 | |
whitequark | I think I now see why we all use calculators | 18:22 |
wpwrak | because we've forgotten how to use slide rules ? :) | 19:16 |
whitequark | because it's a pain in the ass | 19:26 |
whitequark | I mean, I'll do multiplication quicker in my head than mechanically | 19:27 |
wpwrak | one robot to another: "I'll do multiplication quicker in my head than mechanically" | 19:31 |
Lumocolor | Looking for a tiny 5v 2A min power supply & Li-* battery charger and if possible, that is suitable for charging from solar | 21:59 |
Lumocolor | this is for a diy handheld/pockect computer. 5inch (screen) | 21:59 |
Lumocolor | I allreadly know of the microups | 22:00 |
whitequark | Lumocolor: there's plenty. look at sparkfun for example | 22:03 |
Lumocolor | oh yea | 22:17 |
