  1. <SpeedEvil> theBear: night/morning
  2. <SpeedEvil> or whatever wierd australian division of time you may use
  3. <heston> so is that giving me joules or amps
  4. <heston> :/ I just want to know how much current I discharged through these caps
  5. * xall_ (~xall@ppp-27-55-225-173.revip3.asianet.co.th) has joined
  6. <acetoline> it's evening in NZ
  7. * TheDevil (~zoo@107-182-46-144.volcanocom.com) has joined
  8. <TheDevil> lol, everytime I move my laptop, I get disconnected thanks to my usb port being loose and the antenna in the port getting knocked
  9. <heston> sounds like my ethernet port after i kicked out the cable
  10. <acetoline> heston: first it would probably be best to ask yourself exactly what you want to know
  11. <acetoline> do you want to know how much energy is stored? Or how much charge is stored?
  12. * m_t (~m_t@p5DDA14D3.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has joined
  13. <heston> well energy but in what unit
  14. <heston> i want amps or watts
  15. <acetoline> neither of those are units of energy
  16. <acetoline> amps are units of current. watts are units of power.
  17. <heston> right, so power
  18. <acetoline> it doesn't make sense to ask how much power is stored in a capacitor
  19. <acetoline> power is energy/time
  20. * LooCfur_ has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds)
  21. <acetoline> if you discharge a capacitor rapidly, you get a large amount of power for a short time
  22. <acetoline> whereas if you discharge it slowly, you get a small amount of power over a long time
  23. <acetoline> if you multiply power by time, you get energy

  27. <jsoft> Damn electronics is awesome
  28. <jsoft> Many fun factors per thing discovered and or made
  29. <psybn> fun factors per thing
  30. <acetoline> I wonder what the units of that are
  31. <acetoline> I know the unit of fun is the Simmons
  32. <acetoline> and the unit of joy is the Ross
  33. <OSaucey_> Trying to see if I could get lucky finding a schematic for this thing .... I just get patent drawings for "adult" products oh my
  34. <psybn> it's alright.

  36. <psybn> insertable electronics is a vibrant industry.
  37. <acetoline> OSaucey_: what is it
  38. <acetoline> IoT dildo?
  39. <OSaucey_> My thing is a multichannel 433MHz remote
  40. <OSaucey_> But I manged a google search that just showed vibrators xD
  41. <acetoline> how do you get from 433 mhz remote to dildo
  42. <heston> maybe the rf freq they run on
  43. <heston> remote controlled
  44. <acetoline> that would be one interesting typo
  45. <acetoline> all I get from google are just pictures of key fobs
  46. <heston> google images is pretty ridiculous now. It doesnt matter what you search for, women show up
  47. <heston> and many times they're unclothed
  48. * SopaXorzTaker has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
  49. <OSaucey_> Maybe someone on Alibaba will just give me the schmatic and firmware if I ask nicely? :D
  50. <heston> is it really worth the effort for one remote

  68. <archivist> two requests for 1960's pulse generator manuals this week
  69. <Streaker> the best I've found. there may be others that are better
  70. <jsoft> a 1960's pulse generator you say?
  71. <jsoft> What is that, just toggles a thing high quickly for a moment?
  72. <tawr> jsoft, err, it's not new
  73. <tawr> plasma experiments, accelerators, nuclear physics research
  74. <tawr> has been around for over 100 years
  75. <heston> sounds like fun
  76. <archivist> jsoft, full adjustable instrument many valves in them
  77. <jsoft> tawr, Was I suppose to be born knowing that? :P
  78. <Streaker> so it's not a device you apply to dead people?
  79. <tawr> jsoft, you know about hiroshima?
  80. <intranick> BOOM
  81. <jsoft> tawr, some kind of mushroom food or the like
  82. <tawr> and nuclear enrichment in the 1940's?
  83. <jsoft> No I do not really know much about that stuff, no.

  87. <tawr> people tend to think modern technology was just invented. there's a reason in science the phrase "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants" is deeply ingrained
  88. * Streaker hands tawr a glass of plutonium enriched water
  89. <tawr> meh plutonium ain't bad, i'd drink it
  90. <archivist> must restore an old HP instrument from that era with core memory
  91. <intranick> well the bomb used on hiroshima was u235, not plutonium
  92. <jsoft> tawr, I get progression. How did me not knowing about the uses / description of a 1960's pulse generator turn into a lecture about nuclear science
  93. <intranick> the other bomb was plutonium
  94. <archivist> lots of pulse work in nuclear and also radar and early computing
  95. <Streaker> https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radithor
  96. <jsoft> how did the pulse stuff apply to nuclear stuff?
  97. <jsoft> Was it the firing of elctrons into atoms type of deal which they used it for?
  98. <Streaker> to make big bang need many perfectly timed little bangs
  99. <jsoft> :|
  100. <jsoft> I thought back in the day you just slammed plutonium hemispheres together
  101. <tawr> jecture lol
  102. <Streaker> Yup.
  103. <jsoft> tawr, :P You know what I mean though aye

  108. <archivist> one thing is becoming apparent to me, people work is some technology in their younger days, and want to restore it when they retire

  112. <archivist> seems the last person asking for a manual scan worked in the factory where it was made
  113. <archivist> was a test engineer at Solartron
  114. <jsoft> I wonder what things back in the day were discovered and since forgotten which could have helped todays tech
  115. <Streaker> so when I retire I'll be looking for vax manuals
  116. <jsoft> Like lisp machines maybe :)
  117. <jsoft> Amigas perhaps
  118. <archivist> Streaker, I have a pile of DEC data, most of the microfiche not yet catalogued
  119. <klys> jsoft, anything that will help you learn to cope with today's technology
  120. <jsoft> What do you mean by 'cope'
  121. <jsoft> You mean understand it better?
  122. <archivist> or fix it
  123. <klys> for example, an older machine which is simpler and therefore easier to understand, while remaining compatible.
  124. <jsoft> Oh right

  133. <klys> yeah chips are supposed to connect to each other, though anymore you have to follow the chip's spec to get a working system. it's like the move from bi-layer to multi-layer boards. you don't see the schematic anywhere, yet it still works. though, then you have to have specialized business to even think of making it work for you.

  171. <archivist> qrf just use an ordinary bridge for the lowest ripple currents

  208. <anonnumberanon> rpis just burn?
  209. <intranick> oh hi Jan-
  210. <acetoline> I need to make a 'precise' (i.e. within %5) 12 nH inductor on pcb
  211. <acetoline> I'm thinking if using a meander would be ok for this

  226. * veek has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
  227. <acetoline> anyway about the issue at hand, I wonder if a meander would be ok for this or the coupling between traces on the meander would be too high
  228. <acetoline> it's an 800 mhz circuit
  229. <acetoline> I'm thinking of a meander with length 18 mm and area of 2x6mm
  230. <archivist> put a guard trace to stop coupling
  231. <acetoline> then that would make it harder to compute the inductance
  232. <acetoline> also another thing is that this would be 7 mils above the ground plane
  233. * spanishsunrise has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
  234. <acetoline> possibly the ground plane would prevent coupling
  235. * spanishsunrise (~none@unaffiliated/none/x-4223007) has joined
  236. <acetoline> but it would also make inductance calculation harder
  237. <archivist> this is why one used puff to check
  238. <archivist> eses
  239. <archivist> uses typo special this morning
  240. <acetoline> one option is to remove the ground plane under the inductor
  241. <acetoline> but I think that's asking for trouble
  242. <acetoline> the return path is going to find some crazy path through the circuit

  332. <cheater> Sinbad22: why not a DSP
  333. <acetoline> for our application the filter doesn't hog up the cpu at all, most of our bottleneck is I/O
  334. * Mdx4 (~me@151.28.0.80) has joined
  335. <Sinbad22> cheater: will DSP be better than microcontroller for matrix calculations?
  336. <cheater> it depends what calculations
  337. * Mdx4 has quit (Client Quit)
  338. <acetoline> most DSPs are just glorified microcontrollers
  339. <cheater> do you multiply matrices?
  340. <cheater> no acetoline that's bs
  341. <Sinbad22> its the kalman algorithm which is invert and multiply
  342. * Mdx4 (~me@151.28.0.80) has joined
  343. <cheater> oh yea
  344. <cheater> how many times per second do you need to invert and multiply the 50x50 matrix by another 50x50 matrix??
  345. * Mdx4 has quit (Client Quit)
  346. <jackbrown> hello
  347. <cheater> sorry too many ?'s
  348. <jackbrown> Anyone know Vision Engineering Microscopes ?
  349. <cheater> yea what about em
  350. * Mdx4 (~me@151.28.0.80) has joined
  351. <cheater> i checked out a mantis once
  352. <cheater> it owned
  353. <cheater> don't have one tho
  354. <cheater> would love to
  355. <Sinbad22> What about DSP for matrix and microcontroller for io?
  356. <acetoline> if you want to go the DSP route just go for a microprocessor or SoC instead
  357. <acetoline> much cheaper and probably more powerful
  358. * Mdx4 has quit (Client Quit)
  359. <cheater> no Sinbad22 you just want a dsp
  360. <cheater> acetoline: that's bs too..
  361. <acetoline> no it's not
  362. <cheater> acetoline: there are really cheap dsp chips..
  363. <Sinbad22> Its at 40 Hertz you do the multiply.
  364. * Mdx4 (~me@151.28.0.80) has joined
  365. <jackbrown> cheater, I found a Mantis FX used unit do you know it ? Is it possible to add other lens to reach bigger magnification ?

  370. * sasha (sasha@hackerspace.fixme.ch) has joined
  371. <acetoline> and there are REALLY cheap microprocessors
  372. <cheater> you got to do 50x50x50x40 MACS just for that one multiplication

  374. * sasha is now known as Guest32102
  375. <cheater> jackbrown: look at the mantis series on their website and check.
  376. <cheater> i can't tell you off the top of my head.
  377. <jackbrown> cheater, ok thanks anyway are good quality ?
  378. <cheater> yeah they're the fucking best
  379. <cheater> if you buy one you won't have to buy any more scopes for inspection and assembly ever

  381. * JoeLlama has quit (Changing host)
  382. * JoeLlama (~snork@unaffiliated/joellama) has joined
  383. <cheater> and it's such a fucking amazing thing to use, it's really mega comfortable
  384. * ld has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
  385. <cheater> Sinbad22: so just for that one multiplication you got 0.5 GMACS
  386. <acetoline> I really doubt that you could find a DSP with the same price/performance as a Cortex-A or somesuch
  387. <jackbrown> cheater, do you think that this used unit ( if it's in good condition) worth the 180� he is asking ?
  388. <cheater> Sinbad22: at that point you're looking at either a dsp that costs a few dollars or a general purpose cpu that's clocked at GHz speeds and is several hundred dollars
  389. <cheater> jackbrown: no idea
  390. <heston> anyone know if there's a public log of this chat?
  391. <Sinbad22> Its more than 1 multiply its more like 6
  392. <cheater> jackbrown: if it can perform the function of magnifying towards the magnification you need then yes
  393. <cheater> yea then you got like 3 GMACS
  394. * winsoff (42cdc7f6@gateway/web/freenode/ip.66.205.199.246) has joined
  395. <acetoline> you don't need to do 50x50x50x40 operations for a 30x30 matrix multiply
  396. <cheater> he said the matrix is 50x50
  397. <acetoline> it's more like 30x30x20 operations
  398. * JoeLlama has quit (Client Quit)
  399. <cheater> and you have to do 50 multiply-accumulate operations for each cell of the 50x50 matrix
  400. <cheater> and you do that 40 times per second
  401. <acetoline> what?
  402. <cheater> that's 50x50x50x40
  403. <Sinbad22> What dsp is fastest that also does 2x uart and usb output?
  404. <samaras> heston: a public log would be easy
  405. <cheater> you don't need the fastest
  406. <cheater> you just need fast enough
  407. <acetoline> I like that you think that linear algebra libraries use naive matrix multiplication

  409. <winsoff> Do LED COBs come in multiple colors?
  410. <winsoff> Viper-7: what's your personal website, again?
  411. * wbraun has quit (Quit: wbraun)
  412. <heston> samaras, im looking for an existing one, i missed the last hour and a half right where it got interesting
  413. <Sinbad22> I dont know how much fast enough is though
  414. <samaras> heston: we had a discussion about why arduino clones are apparently just as good as arduinos, and some guy kept asking about the simd data model
  415. <acetoline> firstly I doubt you really need a 50x50 kalman filter
  416. <acetoline> that is a HUGE kalman filter
  417. <cheater> Sinbad22: look at the "hardware convolution box" thread here: https://synth-diy.org/pipermail/synth-diy/2017-February/thread.html
  418. <heston> samaras, were you there when you guys were discussing nuclear stuff and pulse generators

  421. * SmokinGrunts (~nnscript@162-226-245-243.lightspeed.cicril.sbcglobal.net) has joined
  422. <cheater> look at the posts from me. one of them compares all available dsp options by amount of GMACs
  423. * cdchapm2 is now known as enthdegree
  424. <Sinbad22> Its 15 states for position_xyz velocity_xyz attitude_xyz gyroscope_bias_xyz accelerometer_bias xyz
  425. <cheater> it's a huge comparison
  426. <Sinbad22> then 32 GPS + 24 glonass satellite ambiguities
  427. <acetoline> what
  428. <cheater> you find something that's fast enough, e.g. 10 GMACs or whatever, and find out if it has the UARTs you need
  429. <acetoline> you should not be putting all of your GNSS coordinates into a big kalman filter
  430. <cheater> then for dev just buy the fastest chip possible, it won't be *that* expensive
  431. <acetoline> it is very unlikely that that would work
  432. <Sinbad22> But we can only see max x sats at once at 2 frequencies. so thats why its about 50 states
