19:35.30JeffMspldart, well I did my thru-hole solder job with out screwing up the components :)
19:38.03spldart:)
19:38.05spldartYay
19:38.47JeffMit was kinda fun to make

20:23.48spldartI can imagine... I love building ish.
20:26.15JeffMis happy that it can drive a servo now :)
20:26.35JeffMhttp://www.facebook.com/home.php#/video/video.php?v=1183034262780&ref=nf
20:28.43spldartawww You must log in to see this page
20:29.02spldartgoes to hook the battery charger up to the old plymouth
20:29.04JeffMsorry
20:29.11JeffMI thought I set it to "everyone"
20:29.16JeffMyoutubes it
20:33.25BulletCatcherFrom what I have seen, you must register with Facebook to see anything at all there.
20:34.02BulletCatcherSo "everyone" probably just means "all Facebook members."
20:35.23JeffMprobably
20:38.12JeffMhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqSMe6aulNk
20:38.13JeffMthere
20:42.05SpazzyMcGeeheh, JeffM. Is that PIC controlled, or similar?
20:42.25JeffMit's an 8 bit amtel micro controller
20:42.42JeffM64k of storage, and a massive 4k of ram
20:43.45SpazzyMcGeenice
20:43.46JeffMthe code is very c like, with lots of fun libs
20:43.48JeffMhttp://bzflag.pastebin.ca/1500420
20:43.53JeffMthat's the code for that program
20:44.58spldartshweeeeet
20:45.32SpazzyMcGeeCool. Got well into using PICs last year. Built a guitar playing machine, and an alarm clock that pulls of your bed cover to wake you up
20:46.38JeffMPICs use a very simple language don't they?
20:47.21SpazzyMcGeeassembly or BASIC
20:47.36spldartmmMMmm basic
20:47.44JeffMyeah the amtel AVR chips are RISC based so they can use real languages
20:48.05JeffMeven tho it's an 8 bit CPU, I have support for floats and stuff
20:49.26SpazzyMcGeehere's the early stages of the guitar machine
20:49.27SpazzyMcGeehttp://www.youtube.com/user/icecoldtrashcan#play/uploads/14/gYWWfQ7CfUI
20:49.52JeffMfun
20:49.54SpazzyMcGeeIt did play a tune, just verrrry slowly :p
20:50.03JeffMneeds to order his stepper controllers
20:50.50SpazzyMcGeeWas going to have it receive some MIDI instructions
20:50.52JeffMthose will be the ones that have SMP mouting
20:50.57SpazzyMcGeebut I ran out of time sadly
20:52.54JeffMhow much does a PIC board cost?
20:53.32SpazzyMcGeeDepends on the PIC you use
20:54.01JeffMthis one was 25$
20:54.03SpazzyMcGeeI didn't pay for anything because it was college coursework
20:54.54SpazzyMcGeethe chips themselves are dirt cheap, mostly
20:55.10SpazzyMcGeecouple of £
20:55.15JeffMcool
20:55.56SpazzyMcGeeI manufactured my own PCBs too, so in the end it probably worked out pretty cheap
20:56.12JeffMheh, except for the cancer :)
20:56.38SpazzyMcGeehehe
20:57.34SpazzyMcGeeMore worried about the etch turning your hands into skeletons. That stuff is nasty
