wpwrak_ | the number of bugs i managed to put in this stuff is truly amazing ... | 03:01 |
rjeffries | did wpwrak dismiss this one? Package it in a Ben Nanonote style shell with a better display, and live a better (and open-ish) life | 03:18 |
rjeffries | https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1133560316/black-swift-tiny-wireless-computer | 03:18 |
wpwrak_ | nicksydney: mentioned it yesterday. nothing goes unnoticed here ;-) | 03:38 |
wpwrak_ | not sure if it could drive the LCD, though. that's a CPU that's pretty much optimized for small routers, so it may not have display hardware. and doing this it software may be messy and inefficient. | 03:40 |
rjeffries | the world needs a simple, low-energy-consuming standalone GPU. #problemsolved | 03:43 |
nicksydney | this might do for a low powered GPU perhaps .. http://www.ftdichip.com/EVE.htm | 03:44 |
nicksydney | :) | 03:44 |
whitequark | not really, integrated GPU is much nicer | 03:44 |
whitequark | the issue is getting your data onto the GPU | 03:44 |
rjeffries | yes, a total integrated CPU+GPU+sensors+BLE+WiFi SOC is so much more elegant. no argument. Low energy consumption, low cost, high volume part. all good. | 03:46 |
whitequark | GPU is a particularly bad thing to get off chip | 03:48 |
whitequark | even in laptops they moved to integrated GPU | 03:48 |
wpwrak_ | ftdi = evil :) | 03:52 |
whitequark | ftdi's thing is fine for UI things | 03:53 |
whitequark | very low traffic | 03:53 |
wpwrak_ | rjeffries: i'm not even talking about a GPU. it may not even have a dumb frame buffer. so you would have to generate the bit stream by DMA (if you can) | 03:53 |
wpwrak_ | whitequark: is the ftdi thing fully documented ? or is it "fully open API (you have to link against our (closed, naturally) libraries)" | 03:54 |
rjeffries | so showing my considerable ignorance is there a clever hack that might add framebuffer that does not totally suck? Maybe only adequate for text?\ wait maybe that describes ftdichip | 04:01 |
whitequark | you can do text, it's called "a vt52 terminal" | 04:02 |
whitequark | "over serial port" | 04:02 |
whitequark | then you realize people want transparent windows at 60fps | 04:02 |
rjeffries | this is a good read. a stripped down computer slightly better than Ben Nanonote with no mic, no camera, very opne... might help one avoid survelliance state | 04:07 |
wpwrak_ | rjeffries: some displays have an internal frame buffer from which they can refresh autonomously. so if you get one of these, you can just bigbang it or such. of course, finding a good display will be hard enough if you don't have such extra requirements .. :) | 04:09 |
whitequark | DocScrutinizer05: http://www.coultersmithing.com/OldStuff/CLAB/coffee_can_reflow.htm | 04:38 |
DocScrutinizer05 | whitequark: sth special to look for in that? | 08:41 |
whitequark | pretty well done PID | 08:42 |
DocScrutinizer05 | aaah ok :) | 08:44 |
larsc | how, it's can as in the container, I first thought he'd just pour hot coffee over the board | 09:09 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ohmy, compare http://www.coultersmithing.com/OldStuff/CLAB/It_Almost_Worked.htm and http://www.coultersmithing.com/OldStuff/CLAB/images/RFMod1.jpg against http://www.ebay.de/itm/Edelstahl-Friteuse-3L-2200-W-Fritteuse-Fritoese-Frittoese-Kaltzonen-Friteuse-GS-/231453537182 | 10:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | or even this http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/828695/Wasserkocher-schnurlos-mit-manueller-Temperatureinstellung-Severin-WK-3369-Edelstahl-gebuerstet-Schwarz?queryFromSuggest=true | 10:26 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sure, needs some "tuning" | 10:27 |
DocScrutinizer05 | (PID) hehe, i now had the tooling to do this sort of simpler: 35V@10A USB programmable PSU, and a DMM with thermocouple that I can read out via USB | 11:01 |
