| 03:30.39 | laodamas | it is, but it seems better than the FTDI chips |
| 03:30.58 | scanline | it probably is, but I get annoyed by these USB to serial/parallel chips in general |
| 03:31.10 | scanline | get something that lets you use multiple endpoints, define your own descriptors, and handle control requests |
| 03:32.33 | laodamas | scanline: this device doesn't need that kind of functionality |
| 03:32.58 | laodamas | this allows for a $5 bom |
| 03:33.12 | scanline | is it an existing serial device you're talking to? |
| 03:33.51 | scanline | the biggest problem with using RS-232 or a generic parallel FIFO is that you if you want to put a packet-based protocol on top of that you need a lot of extra complexity that could be avoided by just using USB in the first place |
| 03:34.11 | purple_cow | scanline: i'd prefer the graph |
| 03:34.26 | purple_cow | scanline: it seems like it wouldn't be too much more diffiult and it would allow us to do just about anything |
| 03:34.26 | scanline | it's just cheesy, when you can get a chip like the TUSB3210 or EZ-USB that give you a microcontroller with a real USB interface |

| 04:19.23 | scanline | 315 MHz ASK transmitters/receivers |
| 04:19.50 | scanline | laodamas: well, I was thinking about just having each device transmit a short burst of data then go to sleep for a slightly-random amount of time |
| 04:20.20 | laodamas | that works too |
| 04:20.53 | scanline | $5.95 for a transmitter |
| 04:20.56 | scanline | so cool :) |
| 04:21.10 | laodamas | rfpics are cheap too |
| 04:21.18 | scanline | hmm, true |
| 04:23.23 | laodamas | they should work as long as you can match the modulation on the rFPIC side |
| 04:23.28 | scanline | yeah |
| 04:23.39 | scanline | looks like rfPICs come in ASK and FSK versions |
| 04:26.58 | laodamas | nope, ASK and FSK modulation operates externally with different RCL configurations. The rfPIC versions are tuned for different frequencies though |

| 05:06.10 | hardwire | looks like I am in charge of setting up base camp communications for the new oil spill |
| 05:10.14 | scanline | purple_cow: I'm not sure if this is the right part number, but probably $135 :P |
| 05:10.33 | purple_cow | eww |
| 05:10.45 | scanline | we could build our own devices with the rfPIC, but since that would really require a PCB it'd be cheaper to use the $6 RF transmitter modules |
| 05:11.03 | scanline | then we could have a PIC do manchester encoding or LFSR scrambling or something and send out data from a TC74 or 1wire sensor |
| 05:11.33 | scanline | battery power I suppose? |
| 05:12.22 | purple_cow | thats what i was thinking |
| 05:13.00 | scanline | the transmitter would probably only need to consist of an RF board, PIC, TC74, voltage regulator, and a couple capacitors :) |
| 05:13.40 | scanline | all of those chips can be had as free samples, so the only parts that really cost anything are the RF board and any mounting supplies we'd need, like the battery clip |
| 05:13.55 | scanline | so, maybe $7 per therm |
| 05:27.43 | purple_cow | :) |
| 05:28.06 | scanline | what kind of battery? 9V would be the most convenient, but those are expensive |
| 05:28.32 | scanline | ooh |
| 05:28.37 | scanline | froogle finds 9Vs for $0.50 |
| 05:28.41 | scanline | so I guess not |
| 05:29.11 | scanline | with two extra resistors, these could also report their own battery voltage |
| 05:29.15 | scanline | so we'd know when one is getting low |
| 05:29.22 | scanline | hmm |
| 05:29.37 | scanline | for an outdoor sensor, could probably coat the board, battery, and antenna with heat shrink tubing ;) |
| 05:30.42 | purple_cow | heh |
| 05:30.44 | purple_cow | not epoxy? |
| 05:30.59 | scanline | well, you'd want to be able to change the battery |
| 05:31.22 | scanline | you could put these things into a really low power mode while not transmitting |
| 05:34.43 | scanline | hah |
| 05:34.55 | scanline | spark fun electronics also has cordless power drills for $30 |
| 05:36.00 | purple_cow | scanline: 9Vs are really cheap at costco |
| 05:36.05 | scanline | ok |
| 05:36.30 | scanline | I'm just wary of cordless drills |
| 05:36.40 | scanline | would rather have something powerful and more reliable |
| 05:36.47 | purple_cow | there are plenty of good cordless drills |
| 05:36.52 | purple_cow | probably plenty of bad ones too :) |
| 05:36.57 | scanline | yeah |
| 05:37.04 | scanline | I also just don't want to pay much, since I don't need a drill that often |
| 05:38.31 | hardwire | where is file! |
| 05:39.03 | scanline | laodamas: thanks for the pointer to spark fun, I'm about to spend money on RF goodies ;) |
| 05:39.21 | laodamas | you're welcome |
| 05:39.31 | scanline | getting some cheap ones for the therms, and one of the high speed tx/rx pairs for some possible accelerometer fun later, I think |
| 05:39.47 | hardwire | this is insane. |
| 05:39.59 | purple_cow | hey look |
| 05:40.05 | purple_cow | a job opening at xilinx for software tools |
| 05:40.09 | scanline | haha |
| 05:41.23 | scanline | they probably have some really cool code there, under a nauseating GUI |
| 05:41.42 | purple_cow | uhhuh |
| 05:46.07 | purple_cow | time to watch an episode of indiana jones, i think |
| 05:46.23 | scanline | ooh |
| 06:01.14 | ChipX86 | what to watch.. |

| 06:13.35 | hardwire | fuck |
| 06:13.38 | hardwire | I can do that.. |
| 06:13.41 | hardwire | nevermind ;) |
| 06:14.23 | hardwire | >>> math.sin(15 * (math.pi/180)) * 1500 |
| 06:14.23 | hardwire | 388.22856765378111 |
| 06:14.28 | hardwire | that should be correct right? |
| 06:14.37 | hardwire | 388 feet off the horizon. |
| 06:14.45 | purple_cow | sounds right |
| 06:14.51 | hardwire | wow |
| 06:14.53 | hardwire | I used math |
| 06:14.56 | hardwire | congratulate me. |
| 06:16.54 | purple_cow | congratulations |
| 06:17.25 | darth_mall | go hardwire! |
| 06:17.58 | scanline | lookit hardwire's mathic skillz go! |
| 06:18.06 | hardwire | danke |
| 06:18.10 | hardwire | realyl |
| 06:18.12 | hardwire | I appreciate it. |
| 06:18.31 | hardwire | this is a pain in the ass |
| 06:18.33 | hardwire | I have a bay. |
| 06:18.34 | darth_mall | hardwire is t3h 1337 m4th h4><0r |
| 06:18.57 | hardwire | in the bay the moutains surrounding it to the south west are 2000+ feet high |
| 06:19.14 | scanline | time for a data crash, I'll just fry the data crystals! |
| 06:19.26 | hardwire | if I can assume that for every 1000 feet I gain 250 feet up |
| 06:19.31 | darth_mall | mmm... fried data crystals |
| 06:19.51 | hardwire | then I need to be away from everything around 10000 feet |
| 06:21.24 | scanline | clear as crystallized mud |
| 06:21.35 | darth_mall | mud banks for storing data |
| 06:22.07 | purple_cow | hardwire: you mean 8000? |
| 06:24.04 | hardwire | I dunno |
| 06:24.08 | hardwire | how are you correcting me? |
| 06:24.13 | hardwire | hah |
| 06:24.14 | hardwire | nevermind |
| 06:24.18 | hardwire | I calculated for 2500 feet |
| 06:24.21 | hardwire | just to be safe. |

| 06:52.42 | purple_cow | it's been a long time since i've seen this :) |
| 06:53.07 | darth_mall | this movie is so great |
| 06:53.11 | darth_mall | and that music! |
| 06:53.33 | purple_cow | hehe |
| 06:53.33 | darth_mall | I should bring a recording of the score to all my finals this year |
| 06:53.44 | darth_mall | so that when I get near the end I can start playing that theme in triumph |

| 06:58.19 | ChipX86 | ok |
| 06:58.31 | scanline | I probably will soon, next time I need to install protel dxp or something |
| 06:58.35 | ChipX86 | pretend you have. Can you see a case where you'd want more than one wizard per VM or team on the screen at once? |
| 06:59.04 | scanline | not off the top of my head :P |
| 06:59.12 | ChipX86 | ok good |
| 07:00.04 | ChipX86 | it's trivial enough to support that later. I just don't want that tonight. |
| 07:03.48 | ChipX86 | meh, Old Navy commercials |

| 07:06.08 | ChipX86 | it's functional! |
| 07:06.27 | ChipX86 | he should sell these as kits |
| 07:07.19 | scanline | wow |
| 07:07.31 | ChipX86 | I want one of these |
| 07:07.31 | darth_mall | oh that's cool |
| 07:09.31 | ChipX86 | http://www.ericharshbarger.org/cgi-bin/photo.cgi?clock_8.jpg+lego/images/clock |
| 07:14.14 | scanline | boo for spending money |
| 07:14.24 | scanline | but yay, we should have parts to build a nice set of wireless temperature sensors |
| 07:14.30 | scanline | and I should be restocked on a lot of other random stuff |
| 07:14.36 | darth_mall | I don't think I've seen this movie since I was like 12 |
| 07:14.48 | ChipX86 | that movie rocks more than things that rock less than it |
| 07:17.07 | scanline | hehe |
| 07:17.08 | darth_mall | a truer statement there has never been |
| 07:17.46 | scanline | hmm, I should see about getting some accelerometer free samples |
| 07:18.00 | scanline | good ol' analog.com |
| 07:20.31 | laodamas | scanline: AXDL320's +/-5g $6 each, I did not see samples |
| 07:23.59 | scanline | the '311s (+/- 2g) are sampleable |
| 07:24.12 | scanline | I've used them before at work, they should do nicely for what I have in mind |
| 07:24.20 | scanline | and the 8-CLCC package isn't that hard to solder |
| 07:24.21 | ChipX86 | yay for bugs filed that make no sense |
| 07:27.59 | scanline | laodamas: these will be mostly sensing tilt, so up to 1G plus a little to account for motion |
| 07:29.04 | laodamas | scanline: now all you need are gyros for 6DOF tracking |
| 07:29.10 | scanline | yeah |
| 07:29.13 | scanline | so expensive though :( |
| 07:29.35 | scanline | I built a 6DOF tracking board there recently |
| 07:29.40 | scanline | for dino's tip mass |
| 07:29.43 | laodamas | cool |
| 07:30.10 | ChipX86 | hah, I spent 30 mins working on a bug that was already fixed |
| 07:30.10 | scanline | 512KB of SRAM on board to buffer samples coming in at 600Hz 16-bit precision, then an 802.11 link for retrieving buffered data |
| 07:30.29 | scanline | too bad it's only RS-232 encapsulated over 802.11.. I was hoping to get to add my own CF interface ;) |
| 07:30.42 | ChipX86 | shame my status icons on tabs won't be going in for beta 2 |
| 07:31.19 | purple_cow | yay sean connery |
| 07:34.04 | scanline | ChipX86: it's not a balloon, it's a zeppelin? |
| 07:34.06 | scanline | !!!! |
| 07:35.45 | purple_cow | lemon curry? |
| 07:36.19 | laodamas | scanline: thats not a zeppelin, its a space station! |
| 07:36.32 | ChipX86 | mwahaha, I got assigned a bug fix for beta 2 to do tomorrow, and it's DONE :D |
| 07:37.58 | laodamas|away | the nice thing about the 320s is that they are shock rated to 10000gs. I wish I was built like that |
| 07:39.25 | scanline | nice |
| 07:39.27 | scanline | what package? |
| 07:39.52 | scanline | the 8-CLCC was easy to do by hand, but since the rate gyros come in BGA only we had to use a modified version of the eval board |
| 07:40.49 | laodamas|away | the one and only (look at the data sheet-maximum ratings section) |
| 07:41.23 | laodamas|away | it's hand solderable according to sparkfun |
| 07:41.59 | purple_cow | what a great movie |
| 07:42.12 | scanline | yay for having parts on the way for 8 wireless therms |
| 07:42.23 | scanline | hmm, I should get a few more pic and tc74 samples |
| 07:44.22 | ChipX86 | hah, down to 0 bugs again |
| 07:45.24 | purple_cow | you and your "bugs" |
| 07:45.29 | ChipX86 | :) |
| 07:45.35 | ChipX86 | after beta 2 goes out, it's back to features |
| 07:45.55 | darth_mall | moooooooooo |
| 07:47.36 | ChipX86 | yay I'm in Fernando Herrera's blog |
