00:33 < password2_> damn tasty

00:33 < kevtris> sounds like pork rinds
00:34 < kevtris> that's what that is, deep fried fat
00:34 < password2_> looks like this http://wegryforum.weg.co.za/attachment.php?attachmentid=16593&d=1383153720&thumb=1

00:34 < leachim6> if you live anywhere with an ethnic latino population, you gotta get yourself some chicharonnes
00:34 < kevtris> I saw it on dirty jobs once
00:35 < password2_> normally theres very few meat on

00:36 < password2_> to be clear , its just deep fried in itself , if i understand craklings correctly its deepfried in oil
00:36 < sammyb> its great password2_ they don't always get it right but when they do the icecream softens inside the batter and forms an almost cake-like boundary between the two
00:36 < password2_> and more puffy

00:39 < leachim6> I want to make a fan for my desk that's really quiet, so I was thinking of getting some 120mm ultra quiet case fans (2x) and mount them to a sheet of Lexan with some kind of voltage controller to have some quiet airflow to my face, and also it'll look cool on my desk

00:40 < password2_> leachim6, get a current regulator and a big cap
00:40 < Casper> leachim6: you need 12V for fans normally
00:40 < password2_> their easier to control with current
00:40 < leachim6> well then I'll need a 12v adapter that's not huge
00:40 < leachim6> a repurposed PSU is out of the question
00:40 < leachim6> it's gotta fit on the back of the sheet of lexan with either screws or epoxy
00:41 < Casper> and if you can, get 4 pins fans, then just make a PWM to control them on that 4th wire

00:41 < password2_> i cant put it in my pc because of noise
00:41 < leachim6> Casper: that's what I was thinking, because I don't need a lot of logic like real PC case fans, just a consistent speed
00:41 < Casper> and if you want quiet, the bigger the better
00:41 < leachim6> 1.1A is crazy current for a fan
00:41 < password2_> but if you limit its current then you get a nice breeze with very little noise

00:44 < Casper> leachim6: sadly, no... but one issue is: if you go with a linear regulator, it may dissipate lots of heat, which may be an issue

00:46 < thomedy> am i being 6 years old right now
00:46 < thomedy> i kinda want to try to do it
00:46 < leachim6> Casper: I'll have to do some more research and get back, do you have a book you'd recommend on basic DC circuits?

01:26 < Gary_jose> but i would say intel makes pretty nice processors, much better than amds. they are more tolerant to heat than amd cpus
01:26 < Casper> that true
01:26 < theBear> no they aren't ! they've got ridiculously low max temps these days

01:26 < Casper> the new amd cpu start to impress me quite alot
01:26 < theBear> and for MANY years amd did a better job in any measurable regard
01:26 < Casper> due to the powerfull onboard gpu
01:27 < Casper> the cpu part itself is not as good as intel, but hey
01:27 < Gary_jose> i see , don;t you think 60 c is bit on a higher side while idling, btw what year of processor?
01:27 < Casper> you can make a good entry level gaming machine for like 900$
01:27 < Casper> on intel it would be 1300-1400 for the same speed!
01:27 < Casper> Gary_jose: 60°C was fine, the case temperature was more like 40°C
01:28 * larrycv charged again completely.. at 7.83. hmmm
01:28 < Casper> the sensor was too close to the heat source, causing abnormally high reading
01:28 < theBear> idling or even full load temps have nothing to do with tolerance

01:29 < Casper> it was NOT hotter than any other cpu really, just that the sensor was "in the flame" instead of "on the case"
01:29 < Gary_jose> my freind has a amd laptop, and i can always feel a lot hot air blowing from its vent even when idle , no matter u put in on a cooling pad, how cold is the environment, be it summer or winter it is always blowing hot air from the vents
01:29 < R0b0t1> Casper: Can go as low as $800
01:29 < R0b0t1> most people don't need good cpu
01:29 < R0b0t1> you could spend $50 if you wanted for a dualcore
01:30 < Casper> R0b0t1: $CAD... add 25% compared to us... or more
01:30 < R0b0t1> o rite
01:30 < R0b0t1> my bad
01:30 < larrycv> it is a charger from canon dslr that cost $2000 back in the day, so it shouldny be complete crap
01:30 < theBear> larrycv, maybe use the battery for a little bit, observe if it uses a normal or excessive (compared to when it was healthy and new) % of capacity while doing it, then give it another charge, but if it finishes low again, try several "topup" charges, even if you gotta do a few mins at a time (for example if the charger waits a few mins then does its fullness check and cuts off)
01:30 < Gary_jose> amds tend to run a bit hotter
01:30 < Casper> but point is... a 150$ cpu come with a 150$ gpu, free
01:31 < theBear> crapness is kinda irrelevant in cases like this, what works with healthy batteries is very different to dead and less than healthy ones
01:31 < Casper> and have the performance of a 200-250$ intel cpu...
01:31 < theBear> also if it's a fast charger but has a slow setting, that should help
01:31 < Gary_jose> also amd cpu;s and chipsets have issues with linux, the drivers sometimes don;t work properly

01:33 < Gary_jose> one more thing is intel is a billion dollar company , much bigger than amd. so they can afford a lot of research and developement work, and the end result is that customer gets a more refined product

01:39 < password2_> :p
01:39 < theBear> cya dude
01:40 < Gary_jose> processors rarely fail and those which fail are often because of lack of proper cooling, such as fan is working, thermal paste dried up, or improperly fitted heatsink, i had never seen a cpu fail on me
01:40 < Gary_jose> fan not working*
01:40 < larrycv> it says 7.4V li-on on the battery
01:41 < theBear> 7.4v li-ion ? that sounds, unusual, tho assuming that WAS possible, what voltage are you expecting it to charge up to ?
01:41 < larrycv> that meas 2 cells connected in series, no?

01:46 < theBear> a quick scan of net land suggests that 7.8 may well be what it should be at full.. here's an image i used attached to some background information http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/lithium_based_batteries
01:47 < theBear> and if the camera agrees, i'd be tempted to say they are charging fully, and ask what symptoms you are actually trying to deal with
01:47 < SuperBrainAK> hey does anyone know of a fairly simple circuit that could give me a voltage that is a fixed amount lower than a buck converters output?
01:47 -!- RoBo_V1 is now known as RoBo_V
01:48 < theBear> SuperBrainAK, diodes drop approx .6v depending on current, zeners drop similar "exact" amounts
01:48 < theBear> err, exact amounts in similar ways
01:48 -!- Miyu [~Miyu@batavia.synyx.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]
01:48 < larrycv> here is the battery
01:48 < Casper> but I wonder how many windows 7/8 will crash when they will upgrade to win10...
01:48 < larrycv> http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/327022-REG/Canon_9200A001_BP_511A_Lithium_Ion_Battery_7_4v.html
01:48 < Casper> ... specially on cracked licence
01:48 < Casper> larrycv: it is also possible that the battery never get fully charged
01:49 < theBear> but USUALLY it is less wrong to modify the buck converter (often a tweak of the voltage feedback divider network hanging off the output pin and feeding back to the control section)
01:49 < Casper> to extend it's life
01:49 < Casper> you sacrifice some capacity for more cycles and more years
01:49 < SuperBrainAK> problem is i will be sinking from the buck converter to the other rail, and 78xx's and zeners or other regs only source power
01:49 < larrycv> it is 5 years old btw. and runtime sucks compared to when it was new
01:50 -!- Maya-sama is now known as Miyu
01:50 < SuperBrainAK> i should say sourcing from the buck converter to the other rail
01:50 -!- password4 [~AndChat73@197.77.34.40] has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
01:50 < Casper> SuperBrainAK: won't a negative regulator do the trick there?
01:50 < SuperBrainAK> how should i wire that up?
01:50 < Casper> ... like a negative regulator? :D
01:51 < SuperBrainAK> :P
01:51 < Casper> but not sure, too late to think
01:51 < SuperBrainAK> hrm...
01:52 -!- tristanseifert [~tristanse@12.207.21.2] has joined ##electronics
01:52 < theBear> SuperBrainAK, generally bucks can only source too
01:53 < SuperBrainAK> so maybe i need about a -5v rail then a negative linear reg with its input on the -5v and the output the "middle" rail and the 79xx's "ground" on the buck converter?
01:53 < theBear> but either way it doesn't matter, a diode/zener in series will just drop voltage, no matter what
01:53 < theBear> so long as the voltage doesn't flip in polarity
01:53 < theBear> think of a series diode as a set-voltage series resistor

01:54 < Casper> wait a sec... shunt regulator in series!
01:54 < Casper> no...
01:54 < Casper> yes
01:54 < SuperBrainAK> that will not allow me to have a current flow from the buck converter to the middle rail
01:55 < SuperBrainAK> basically i want an adjustable ground rail
01:55 < larrycv> could I just put plain li-ion cells in that case, or does the fact that there are two of them complicate matters? new battery is $50, which is a lot for just two li-ion cells
01:55 < SuperBrainAK> that is a fixed voltage lower than my buck converter
01:55 < theBear> a 5year old battery that has had even semi regular use, specially one that sat and went flat like i gather this one did recently, is never gonna have a great capacity by this stage, but that one, particularly if the cam battmeter agrees, does seem to be in "fine" health, even if the capacity is markedly lower than new

01:56 < theBear> SuperBrainAK, yes it will
01:56 < SuperBrainAK> so an adjustable shunt regulator?
01:57 < Casper> larrycv: check for non-original ones
01:57 < Casper> way cheaper
01:57 < theBear> well diode/zener/adjustable-zener, it's not really a shunt reg unless you feeding it via a shunt
01:57 < theBear> more of a clamp
01:57 -!- Gary_jose [~spot@101.219.26.254] has joined ##electronics
01:58 < SuperBrainAK> ok
01:58 < theBear> also i gotta mention, that if the voltage DOESN'T reverse, you aren't changing anything to do with which way current is flowing either
01:59 -!- Brisance [~INTERNAL\@81.20.155.2] has joined ##electronics
01:59 < Gary_jose> .
02:00 < theBear> and also that apart from being referenced to "ground" all yer linear regs and similar setups ARE an "adjustable zener/diode" just like this '
02:00 < SuperBrainAK> so if i have a zener (say 3v) pointing towards my middle rail then a resistor to the main input rail of the buck how can that be always 3v less than my buck converter?
02:00 < theBear> no resistor
02:00 < SuperBrainAK> that will only be 3v above ground
02:01 < theBear> you might need SOME resistor if the load hanging off the -3v point is ridiculously low current
02:01 < theBear> no ground
02:01 < theBear> just series diode

02:02 < zigggggy> superbrain!
02:03 < zigggggy> superbrain where is dormantbrain?
02:03 < theBear> umm, i'm a little lost in which rail is which and what the buck is doing, but zener from memory work "backwards" to real diodes which you would point from positive to negative in this case, so err, yeah

02:05 < SuperBrainAK> my middle rail needs to be 3v less than my buck converter which is stepping 19v to an adjustable voltage, i dont care if i have to stay above 3v ill understant that it could make it simpler

Or whatever, as much leakage as you can tolerate. That often will make transient analyses that aren't resolving resolve.
03:04 < theBear> no, the first one should be right, under 1/4w
03:04 < SuperBrainAK> ill keep playing
03:05 < theBear> metacollin, Johnsen, first it can be worth looking for similar but lesser problems, like err, been a while, i'm thinking something like 1meg/ANY resistor off something, opamp inputs or feedbackless comparator outputs or something? meh, that wasn't as helpful as i intended
03:06 < theBear> weather holding, the time is right, to the shops !

I.e., superconducting capacitors (the default, caps with no ESR), or caps, or caps with 0 leakage. Like, 1M resistors in parallel is more realistic than capacitors with no leakage at all. But perhaps go higher, something close to the real leakage of the cap in question. At least this has worked for me before, but who know
03:11 < Brisance> with a screw settable wiper as well
03:12 < Brisance> that is you have to unscrew a screw, set it in place and screw it tight
03:12 < genewitch> ^ that's what thebear said
03:12 < metacollin> lol whoops, um. ignore the 'or caps' with nothing else
03:12 < _abc_> http://www.sydneytramwaymuseum.com.au/tramfans/workshop/P1729.shtml see 2nd pic row down from top, red cam
03:12 < genewitch> both of those things
03:12 < theBear> mmm, and don't forget that superconductor wires/conductors would mess up some things
03:12 < metacollin> yyeah
03:13 < metacollin> good to add parasitics everywhere
03:13 < _abc_> theBear: ^ that's somewhere near you, more or less.
03:13 < theBear> just a hassle adding lots, specially when you first decide to go from none to doing it like that
03:13 < theBear> mmm, i walked past the place
03:13 < theBear> not in this state, but still
03:14 * _abc_ notes that switch has 8 contacts but that should also account for 1 reverse speed at least.
03:14 < theBear> seriously this time, i'm goin to the shops
03:14 < Brisance> but... I AM GONNA DO THE RELAY DAC
03:14 < _abc_> do it
03:14 < _abc_> Also remember when you switch state it will briefly cut out.
03:14 < _abc_> Depending on what the load is that can work out badly.
03:15 < Brisance> maybe even make it usable as a digital variable load
03:15 < _abc_> Just pay attention to the break before make character of most relays...
03:16 < Brisance> maybe switch to a temporary load while switching?

03:31 < Brisance> currently I would have just tested for enough inductance with a square wave and seen the waveform
03:32 < Brisance> or traced a curve
03:32 < metacollin> Brisance: inductance is really easy to do really accurately. You simply use a comparator that puts out a digital signal based on a resonant LC tank circuit. Then, you can put an inductor you want to measure in series with the reference inductor (which is tanked with the cap), and just do some math on the frequency out

03:36 < metacollin> and you can even replace the reference cap and inductor with your own higher accuracy ones later. I have a crap one, it has a calibration function which measures the lead inductance and subtracts it. It works quite well considering it was $17. http://www.ebay.com/itm/L-C-F-Digital-led-Inductance-Capacitance-High-Precision-Meter-LC100-S-/291333942316?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43d4db2c2c
03:37 < metacollin> thats a newer version, I got mine a couple years ago
03:37 < Waffl3x> do you guys know of a circuit schematic design program? (I could draw it but I'm not very neat)
03:37 < genewitch> $17 and "high precision" are usually not bedfellows
03:37 < SuperBrainAK> Waffl3x, digikey has a decent tool
03:37 < genewitch> Waffl3x: i use graph paper and a pencil, then i ink it and take a picture
03:37 < sammyb> haha genewitch i'm sceptial too
03:37 < metacollin> still works great. For $17, definitely worth it. I wouldn't put more stock in the accuracy han like 5-10% but thats usually fine
03:38 < sammyb> not to say its not good value of course
03:38 < sammyb> yeah
03:38 < Waffl3x> okay thanks :)
03:38 < metacollin> genewitch: they are high precision. It works by counting a frequency. But they are only as accurate as the reference inductor and capacitors used, which are probably...uh, cheap rather than good :)

04:09 < Dumle29> Yeah check if you have that problem. In Denmark it's easy to get refils
04:09 < metacollin> no, but they use CO2
04:09 < genewitch> i thought they had all that compatible gear
04:09 < genewitch> oh i can get CO2
04:09 < metacollin> are the cylinders not refillable?
04:09 < Johnsen> lol
04:09 < Brisance> I drink this amazing drink mostly at home: http://www.alecoq.ee/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/aura_fruit_sidrun_1-5L.png it's somewhere between carbonated water and lemonade, that is lemon flavoured and only mildly sweet, traditional sodas are too sweet for my liking
04:09 < metacollin> What connector is on them?
04:09 < Johnsen> and methane
04:10 < genewitch> sodastream just has a proprietary threading
04:10 < metacollin> fuck
04:10 < Dumle29> yeah
04:10 < metacollin> The grocery store here has a refil cylindar lol
04:10 < genewitch> there's kits but they're not cheap and it's always some "uncleremus222xx" on ebay selling them
04:10 < Johnsen> hmm redbull summer edition isnt that bad
04:10 < Dumle29> Should be fairly easy to 3D print an adaptor, and then lost plastic cast it in alu
04:10 < Johnsen> tastes like tropical drink
04:10 < metacollin> it's been chillin untouched for months
04:10 < genewitch> i get the big bottles though
04:10 < metacollin> just one though
04:10 < genewitch> the little ones are crap
04:10 < jsoft_> I think I need to make an audio mixer / bass guitar amp to mix into my headphones so I can play along with songs off of the utubes
04:10 < Dumle29> genewitch: Little ones?
04:11 < genewitch> yeah, there's two sizes of sodastream cylinders
04:11 < metacollin> this one was about as tall as the soda stream itself
04:11 < Dumle29> genewitch: The CO2 canisters? There's only one in Denmark. The ones for ~60L of soda
04:11 < metacollin> is that big or little? Or are they all that height and its the diameter? I don't remember the actual co2 it said
04:11 < genewitch> Dumle29: mine say 130L
04:11 < Dumle29> metacollin: It'd be lengtth difference I'd think
04:11 < Johnsen> modern freebsd is having iqsues linux didnt have since years anymore, like having difficulties showing proper cpu loads on cpus that can throttle speed etc
04:11 < Dumle29> metacollin: Diameter is pretty fittted
04:11 < genewitch> girth
04:12 < genewitch> length is the same
04:12 < metacollin> looks like carbonation > grapes lol
04:12 < Dumle29> genewitch: Really?
04:12 < Dumle29> oh.
04:12 < Brisance> the aura fruit thing has 6.1% sugar vs 10.9 in coca cola, which is perfect for me
04:12 < Brisance> not because energy, but because taste
04:12 < Dumle29> lemme get my sodastream. I don't think any thicker can fit in mine.
04:12 < metacollin> sorry Brisance I have the link tabbed open
04:12 < genewitch> Dumle29: it only fits in certain models, like the lowest end black ones it fits in, but the ones with batteries and LEDs it doesn't fit

04:13 < Dumle29> genewitch: I think my model is called Genesis Deluxe
04:13 < Dumle29> https://www.komplett.dk/img/p/400/821363.jpg
04:13 < genewitch> heh, the ones with LEDs are automatic. you put the bottle against a rail, and tilt, and it locks. then you push this carriage down and the LEDs light up to tell you how much fizz
04:13 < genewitch> then the carriage goes up, bottle slides out ready to go
04:14 < Dumle29> lol. Yeah that's a bit overkill :P
04:14 < genewitch> 60L tanks though
04:14 < Dumle29> how much soda do you drink dude :P
04:14 < metacollin> is there a better way to chill the liquid you want to carbonate besides monitoring it with a thermometer frequently while its in your freezer?
04:14 < genewitch> mine's just got a grey button that you push till it buzzes 6 times
04:14 < Dumle29> genewitch: Oh that might be why :P
04:14 < Brisance> I want to try carbonation with dry ice, just need to experiment with the amount, that carbonates the drink but wont blow it up
04:14 < genewitch> metacollin: they make these ice cube trays that make ice cylinders that can go in 2L bottles
04:14 < Johnsen> put it in the fridge and dont measure the temp?
04:14 < metacollin> I guess you could figure out a rough time a certain volume of something iwll take to chill
04:14 < Dumle29> metacollin: I just leave two bottles in my fridge

04:15 < Dumle29> genewitch: Ah that might be why. I only let mine buz a few times. 3-4
04:15 < genewitch> if you made a cap with pressure release at like 5PSI or whatever you could do dry ice, but carbonation works better if the liquid itself is cold
04:15 < Dumle29> depending on the moddle as well
04:15 < metacollin> oh wait, I guerss fridge temp is 35-38 degrees
04:15 < metacollin> close enough to 34
04:15 < metacollin> maybe?
04:15 < Dumle29> model
04:15 < metacollin> we should change the spelling to moddle
04:16 < metacollin> I like that batter
04:16 < Dumle29> metacollin: Gah dem danm fake degrees :P
04:16 < genewitch> metacollin: yeah for sure, i just meant don't start with tap and then use ice in your glass, it tastes bad because it's not as fizzy
04:16 < Dumle29> metacollin: xD

04:16 < Dumle29> danm that's cold
04:16 < metacollin> to 3.33 deg
04:16 < genewitch> I didn't know that until recently so i tested it out in a side-by-side comparison
04:16 < genewitch> ice in both glasses, cold water in one bottle, straight from filter tap in another
04:17 < metacollin> genewitch: ah ok, good to know. Thanks, I'm prolly gonna get her one then
04:17 < metacollin> and Dumle29 too
04:17 < Dumle29> I just leave two bottles in my fridge. That'd be 5C or 41F
04:17 < metacollin> er thanks to Dumle29
04:17 < metacollin> not getting you one too, sorry Dumle29
04:17 < Dumle29> xD
04:17 < genewitch> metacollin: probably look up "homemade soda recipes" and get some sarsparilla mix and stuff. that's the good stuff right there
04:17 < Dumle29> I have one :P
04:17 < metacollin> exactly hahaha
04:17 < genewitch> Dumle29: your fridge is warm as hell

04:18 < Dumle29> This is about as far off topic as I have seen ##electronics :P
04:18 < genewitch> Dumle29: unfortunately coca cola and dr pepper and what not are 1:5 mixes and you can't get a good homemade mix from them
04:18 < metacollin> Dumle29: that's unsafe. Fridges need to be below 40 degrees F, or 4.44 degrees C to do their thang
04:18 < Dumle29> genewitch: Eh I don't really like either that good
04:18 < genewitch> you lose all the carbonation at those concentrations. diet might work though if that's your bag
04:18 < gurki> metacollin: my fridge is at 5 C for years now x)
04:18 < Dumle29> metacollin: Eh, it's what all food products say
04:18 < metacollin> http://cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/4529/what-temperatures-should-i-keep-my-refrigerator-and-freezer-set-at
04:18 < genewitch> sarsparilla has you pour out 2 ounces from the 1L bottle to mix it properly, and that's pushing it
04:18 < Brisance> 3g per liter of water should be nice for fizzy drinks, maybe a bit more
04:18 < Dumle29> store at or below 5C
04:19 < Brisance> since solubility is 3.5g per kg water
04:19 < Johnsen> woo last day before holidau
04:19 < metacollin> aww yisssssss
04:19 < genewitch> i think it really depends on your fridge's specs
04:19 < metacollin> anyway
04:19 < Brisance> breadcrumbs
04:19 < genewitch> if your fridge can adequately move air, 36 is fine because nothing will actually freeze
04:19 < metacollin> so silicon carbide mosfets are fucking expensive
04:20 < genewitch> less awesome fridges will freeze stuff on the top shelf at 36
04:20 < Johnsen> they'remade from drills?

04:20 < p0g0_> why?
04:20 < metacollin> because reasons
04:20 < Johnsen> speaking of electronics, i should really make something during my holiday, oinstead of just talking about it
04:20 < genewitch> because fun isn't allowed on freenode
04:20 < Johnsen> fun isnt allowed on internet anymore
04:20 < gurki> Johnsen: just do it :P
04:21 < Brisance> you had to wear gloves or your fingers stuck to things

04:22 < Brisance> 6N3P maybe? I got these extra rugged versions as well
04:22 < Johnsen> with a rpi?
04:22 < Johnsen> nah not something with tubes
04:22 < gurki> Johnsen: yay. everyone likes rpis
04:23 < gurki> (well. i dont. i kind of hate them^^)
04:23 < Johnsen> thet do?
04:23 < genewitch> gurki: i want a new one. i have 3 old ones
04:23 < genewitch> model B
04:23 < Brisance> depends on usage
04:23 < Johnsen> i use my rpi to stop my desk from wiggling
04:23 < Brisance> I hate most users of arduinos for example, not the arduinos themselves
04:23 < gurki> i never got the hype. they are basically just good for xbmc :/
04:23 < Brisance> well most common usages to be exact
04:23 < genewitch> they're REALLY awesome application specific devices, and also good for testing arduino sensors and boards and stuff, since python is right there
04:23 < metacollin> build a metal detector?
04:23 < gurki> you kind of want a bbb for anything else
04:24 < Johnsen> and arcade/NEs emulator
04:24 < metacollin> that's nice and analog, and relatively easy
04:24 < metacollin> and useful
04:24 < metacollin> i dunno
04:24 < genewitch> gurki: only downside is only 2 analog in and they're trash
04:24 < Johnsen> python bah
04:24 < gurki> genewitch: python. baaah
04:24 < Johnsen> i hate python too
04:24 < metacollin> sssSSSssssSsssss
04:24 < gurki> Johnsen: <3
04:24 < metacollin> python
04:24 < metacollin> pythons hisss right
04:24 < genewitch> gurki: everything's already written for you? and the backend is C, is that better?
04:24 < Johnsen> i like ruby :p but most pl hate that even more
04:24 < genewitch> i mean if you know C, grats
04:24 < metacollin> ruby ftw
04:24 < genewitch> they taught fuckin pascal at my school
04:25 < Johnsen> haha same
04:25 < genewitch> FAT LOT OF GOOD THAT DID
04:25 < gurki> genewitch: well im an hpc guy. i really cant stand the sluggish slow crappyness of python^^
04:25 < Johnsen> but my school is quite a few years ago
04:25 < gpunk> lol perl is backend by C since the 80'
04:25 < Johnsen> turbo pascal 6
04:25 < metacollin> I love ruby. I patiently await the day its not slow as fuck, or until that doesn't matter

04:36 < Brisance> it's from the 80s
04:36 < Johnsen> my gpu only sings at very high framerates
04:36 < genewitch> you're from the 80s
04:36 < Johnsen> 2000fps and more
04:37 < LeEarl> lotsa kiddies these days love python et al(ruby).
04:37 < metacollin> why, I was influenced by god himself of course
04:37 < Johnsen> and since noone needs those fpses i dont care^:p
04:37 < metacollin> j/k
04:37 < Brisance> http://i.imgur.com/3nxmscm.jpg
04:37 * p0g0_ wonders what coding language the dieties prefer.
04:37 < Johnsen> when a unity game starts the unity splash screen is not framerate limited, nor moving, so that gets like 5000+ fps and then my gfxcard sings
04:37 < Brisance> I don't get the fps race
04:38 < genewitch> p0g0_: assembler
04:38 < Brisance> anything over your monitor fps is useless
04:38 < gpunk> yes
04:38 < Brisance> thus vsync on
04:38 < LeEarl> Johnsen, what u need 2000fps for? Mayb u can break N$A code with that?
04:38 < Brisance> and run at 75
04:38 < intranick> im getting 52 extra hours pay on one check
04:38 < gpunk> but it means that at very high load
04:38 < Johnsen> did you see what i said?
04:38 < intranick> but im not paid hourly >.>
04:38 < gpunk> it will sustain a usable frame rate
04:38 < Johnsen> anyway
04:38 < LeEarl> paralell computing with 4 powerful gpus to break N$A code
04:39 < metacollin> dieties use perl for sure
04:39 < Johnsen> 4 lol
04:39 < Johnsen> you can get amazon gpu cloud accounts with a lot more gpu power afaik

05:25 < Brisance> hmm nescafe mixed with cappucino isn't as great as I thought it would be :/

05:27 < LeEarl> maybe u used too muvh
05:27 < p0g0_> sakthi_: try that question again. Also, note that this channel claims to focus on electronics, not networking.
05:27 < Brisance> and still, besides efficiency are there any reasons why a FET is preferred to a BJT in a boost converter?
05:27 < LeEarl> nescafe is very dark so use a little of it, like half a teaspoon
05:27 < Brisance> LeEarl, possibly, I guess I will add some water
05:28 -!- Guest4879 is now known as Walrus23
05:28 < SpeedEvil> Brisance: It's not. Which is better depends on stuff
05:28 < SpeedEvil> Brisance: fundamentally, you work out achievable efficiency
05:29 < Brisance> well BJTs are cheaper and I dont care about efficiency, I am using it to power vacuum tubes :P

06:14 < SpeedEvil> Then relay latching can only be caused by Q2 being dead, or still having base drive

06:24 < irseeyou> I built a BJT H-Bridge and tied the bases together for each side of the H-Bridge. It is turning on without any input -- I'm assuming the PNP is turning on the NPN from the base current and allowing current to flow through the circuit. How do I prevent this?
06:25 < SpeedEvil> is the npn on the + side?

06:25 < irseeyou> SpeedEvil: NPN's emitter it tied to ground. Isn't that how it's supposed to be? Thats what the schematics show.
06:26 < SpeedEvil> If you have npn on bottom, pnp on top, and short the bases, massive current flows in bases
06:26 < irseeyou> Hmmph thats what i figured.
06:27 < SpeedEvil> put them the other way round.

06:29 < SpeedEvil> you can't connect the bases if you want to do it the other way

07:45 < jubatus> even the deadest of dead lead acid batteries will take a lot more than 5mA on charge
07:45 < jubatus> well, maybe its completely dry inside
07:45 < Johnsen> euro was just a joke to steal our moneys and boss us around anyway
07:45 < lemonen> jubatus no i checked it
07:45 < jubatus> its broken
07:45 < jubatus> rest assured
07:45 < jubatus> you have my personal guarantee
07:46 < Johnsen> lol
07:46 < jubatus> hmmm
07:46 < jubatus> maybe your charger is broken

07:47 < SpeedEvil> It has undergone sulphation, and is very unlikely to be recoverable
07:47 < jubatus> the battery may be fine. the charger may be dead.
07:47 < SpeedEvil> jubatus: because that's what old lead acid batteries do
07:48 < jubatus> even a dead SLA will take more than 5mA
07:48 < SpeedEvil> jubatus: not always
07:48 < SpeedEvil> jubatus: really badly sulphated ones may not

07:49 < jubatus> didn't retain any of it, but they took the current
07:49 < lemonen> SpeedEvil i dont know the past of the battery but doesnt the fact that it has 11,6V across it means that it should be ok?

08:48 < angelo_ts> no religion / no politic are always good rules, difficult to find ppl to agree on thise things
08:48 < LeEarl> legendary, in series the sum adds up. R = R1+R2. in parallel they become lower than the least. 1/r=1/r1+1/r2..etc.
08:48 < legendary> but how are the physically wired that makes them diferent from one another?
08:49 < LeEarl> legendary, so let's say u got two 1/2 ohm resistors. so when they are in series resistance becomes R = 1/2 + 1/2 = 1 hom
08:49 < LeEarl> ohm

09:53 < _abc_> Use a fuse on the line from the charger to the battery
09:53 < Encapsulation> is there a simple charging circuit you recommend?
09:53 < Encapsulation> what about connecting a laptop battery charger to it

09:55 < Encapsulation> oh
09:55 < _abc_> You need to cut off charging after XX (calculate) hours, this is not a slow charger it will overcharge happily

10:04 < password2> hi drac_boy
10:05 < Johnsen> 1A charger with unsinked lm317? woop!
10:05 < Encapsulation> ok
10:05 < Encapsulation> I'm going to build it
10:05 < Encapsulation> its fine he says
10:05 < Encapsulation> did you read
10:05 < Johnsen> no
10:05 < Johnsen> but since when is a linear with 1A fine unsinked?
10:05 < Encapsulation> "Ideally, I would have a much better heat sink on the current regulator, but 317s are almost indestructible. When it starts to over-heat, it simply folds back the current and charges the battery longer and slower, which is fine for my application. Not shown in the schematic is the switch which doubles the current sense resistor to 3Ω for a slower charge."
10:05 < Encapsulation> assuming that's true
10:05 < Encapsulation> =D

10:32 < blockh34d> if i have amicro and its driving some steppers, but i need more steppers off it than it was designed for, would using a couple pins off it and a shift register be the most effective way for me to timeslice (or whatever you'd call it, multiplex maybe?) those motors?
10:32 < blockh34d> i have a cb here with a similar design on it i'm using for now, the wicked device 6 motor shield
10:33 < Johnsen> or a few AND gates
10:33 < blockh34d> i mgith be reinventing it eventually tho so if theres improvements to be made in the process i'd like to hear about it

10:34 < blockh34d> hm so the micro would change a few port selection bits and that would route the output to the appropriate motor?
10:34 < blockh34d> which approach would have less lag/overhead do you think?
10:34 < blockh34d> seems like your suggestion would 'cost' less
10:34 < Johnsen> the and gate ;p
10:34 < blockh34d> right yeah i bet so
10:34 < Johnsen> using shiftregisters with timed pulses is more overhead
10:34 < blockh34d> thanks i'm putting that down on the big board of options to review
10:34 < Johnsen> since you need to write the shiftregister every time a pin changes i time
10:34 < blockh34d> i'm doing this for someone else so ultimately its their decision but i like the sound of that

10:49 < LeEarl> ok :)
10:49 < _abc_> blockh34d: only thing is transit (non working) is slow, that's normally not a problem, you are not in a hurry.
10:49 < blockh34d> so what i did was feed 5v to this shields input lines, which use a pwm signal to basically set the output current of the steppers
10:49 < apo__> _abc_: huh, I thought power companies frowned upon those for bigger loads
10:49 < _abc_> blockh34d: 600rpm is 10mm/sec on a 1mm/turn lead screw
10:50 < _abc_> apo__: they do, but 2kW is not a large load
10:50 < blockh34d> _abc_: yah way faster than i expect to move, even when homing
10:50 < apo__> _abc_: Okay. Thanks :)
10:50 < Johnsen> haha
10:50 < _abc_> apo__: Also you can use full wave switching and 'cycle stealing' or 'skipping' which is not objectionable
10:50 < Johnsen> just dont get one of those chinese 4000W dimmers without heatsink :p
10:50 < blockh34d> so ok i smoked that board but it was my own fault for trying something dumb, to avoid that next time, should i use a current limiting resistor off the 5v i'm feeding those input pins?
10:51 < blockh34d> i dont really know it just sounds right to me
10:51 < blockh34d> if so, whats a good resistance for that? high?

12:57 < iwilcox> Easier than wrapping myself in tinfoil :)

12:57 < splud> you don't need to wrap your entire body in foil, just the important bits. Jeez.
12:57 < CasperAtWork> also, it is possible that if you kill the 2.4 antenna that you will also kill bluetooth
12:58 < splud> s/possible/likely/
12:58 < CasperAtWork> splud: so middle finger?
12:58 < iwilcox> There's a GPIO on the SoC going to the WiFi enable on the WiLink, but I can't get to the QFN pin to tie it and it doesn't say for sure it kills Bluetooth. I want to kill both.

12:59 < password2> iwilcox, is just afraid step4 will fail
12:59 < iwilcox> CasperAtWork: I'd like this tablet to be very private. Disabling some of its means of communication gives me peace of mind.
13:00 < splud> IIRC, at least on the WL1835/37, the EN is the entire IC
13:00 < CasperAtWork> iwilcox: set airplane mode, problem solved
13:01 < Lysandros> GPS receivers typically have an input SAW filter but I suspect most already package one these days
13:01 < splud> Don'cha know the NSA can still listen in? Airplane mode is just so YOU can't use it...
13:01 < Lysandros> sometimes more than one for GPS/GLONASS

13:10 < Lysandros> don't you have separate antennas?
13:10 < splud> He does, doesn't know which is which.
13:10 < Lysandros> ah wait that was the idea, right
13:11 < splud> Which is why I suggested alternately grounding them.
13:11 < iwilcox> Lysandros: I think there is enough around the WiLink to tell an informed person which is the GPS feed, but I'm not educated in radio.
13:11 < Lysandros> do you have a photo of the antennas?
13:12 < password2> so.. random thought
13:12 < password2> if this mission is to get privacy
13:12 < iwilcox> Lysandros: Yes, but a slight PITA to put online for you. There's a small one which looks like inverted F attached to the two-feed part of the WiLink, and a much longer more hairy one attached to the single-feed side.
13:12 < password2> would whoever is tracing already know about it?
13:12 < splud> FTR, in the WiLink design on our PCB, there are two chip antennas, each with a cap and inductor in series. They are NOT adjacent to one another though.
13:13 < iwilcox> password2: Know about what?
13:13 < password2> your mission to get rid of wifi
13:13 < Lysandros> is it only 2.4GHz?

15:58 < blockh34d> jacekowski: i would agree on both accounts
15:59 < blockh34d> but i would be ok with a device with even one transistor, at first

17:31 < TheAstro30> however I've seen people make one using a large diameter aluminimum tube and winding on #28 wire to 8R, tapped at 4

17:41 < LeEarl> dudes the easiest way to memorize xor truth table is to tnink of a blind person that can't tell the difference between similar things(0s or 1s) so if he sees 0 xor 0 then its 0 and likewise 1 xor 1 then 0 but if they are different he can see them so 1 xor 0 = 1 , 0 xor 1 = 1 ;D
17:41 < LeEarl> I think I should become a tutor of a sort ;D
17:41 < anddam> OSaucey: I know the theory (these are end of chapter problems, actually the latest so supposedly the hardest) what I don't agree is the numerical value, it seems to me that the book's answer are not coherent

17:42 < TheAstro30> there you go
17:42 < anddam> thanks
17:42 < kevtris> there's only four possible combinations. xor outputs a 1 when inputs are different, 0 when the same
17:42 < anddam> with a signal resitance 100k and a 499 R_{in}
17:42 < kevtris> hence it 'Excludes" the 11 state

17:43 < kevtris> the idea of it is but the actual != operator, I doubt it

17:44 < OSaucey> I can try to work it out for you too

18:58 < jacobdel> well, it ranges from 14v-16v when alternating is on, I dont see a problem with 16v high end
18:58 < splud> My point is that in an automobile, the horn isn't using a regulator - it's driven by the available voltage as-is. Just like the headlamps, etc.
18:58 < jacobdel> its brand new

19:40 < Loshki> gravel is small stones, used for paving...
19:40 < dhrosa> but there's lots of broths/soups that are mostly milk/cream as the liquid
19:40 < larrycv> my charger and cam reports 2 cell li-on as fully charged on 7.8V, but if I keep it on the battery longer it charges all the way up to 8.33V (it kept that voltage for 24 hours). so two questions: why is charger reporting full charge so soon? and what voltage should I aim for for a sweet spot between runtime and battery longevity?
19:40 < LeEarl> Loshki why? In Qatar they call it Thareed :) it is very delicious :)
19:40 < splud> Though some cereal (literally, grains) are used in damn fine soup: barley soup is wonderous, esp. in the windtertime.
19:40 < dhrosa> larrycv: 8.4 is "fully" charged (4.2V per cell)
19:40 < LeEarl> I tried it once when I was in washington state :)
19:41 < dhrosa> I personally prefer to not charge cells above 4.1V per cell. I lose like 5-10% of the possibly capacity, but gain a few 100 more cycles of longetivity

19:43 < dhrosa> larrycv: 3.7V is the "nominal" voltage for li-ion, meaning the half-way charge point
19:43 < splud> My guess, this ancient thing called "math".
19:43 < dhrosa> and I've personally measured the capacity difference between 4.1 and 4.2V on my li-ion packs, it's a not-very-significant capacity difference

19:46 < larrycv> dhrosa: yeah, very small difference
19:46 < dhrosa> that's 6.25%
19:47 < larrycv> how do you stop at 4.1? you have a hobby charger?

19:47 < larrycv> that can do it automatically
19:47 < dhrosa> but 4.2V charge gets you in a situation where misbalanced cells will have to discharge much more quickly to stay balanced, and you risk colder temperatures causing damage to your cells if you're at a high voltage
19:47 < LeEarl> Loshki, ;D that reminds me, I think they shot the movie Taken 2 in Turkey. Liam Neeson loved that experience a lot.
19:47 < dhrosa> no, I have a piece of shit charger that I manually unplug when I see I've reached my target voltage
19:47 < dhrosa> I set a timer on my phone for how long Iw ant to charge, then go check the voltage
19:47 < dhrosa> the charger charges to 4.2V per cell and can't be configured
19:48 < larrycv> ah ok
19:48 < LeEarl> dhrosa, dude just use a TP4056 breakout or chip :]
19:48 < Loshki> dhrosa: probably better that way. The cheap charger clones have a reputation for being inaccurate after the decimal point.
19:48 < splud> Hrm, I suspect judicious configuration of a voltage divider for the feedback could adjust the charger's cutoff.
19:48 < dhrosa> I suspect so too, I just haven't felt liek opening up the charger yet

21:38 < splud> if your soldering iron has enough power and a fine tip, you can get to very high temperatures, which allows you to deliver heat to a small area quickly, then remove the soldering iron before much of that heat travels along conductive paths.
