| [10:10] | <JoeBorn> | hi all |
| [10:10] | <nerochiaro> | hej |
| [10:11] | <JoshMalone> | hey Joe |
| [10:13] | <vmarks> | hej! |
| [10:20] | <JoeBorn> | hows everybody doin? |
| [10:21] | <nerochiaro> | pretty sleepy, it's a depressing day |
| [10:23] | <JoeBorn> | weather? |
| [10:25] | <nerochiaro> | yeah, gray as the bottom of a bucket. plus some very annoying and terribly boring problem with this piece of dotnet crap i'm working at right now |
| [10:25] | <nerochiaro> | they don't make a good combination |
| [10:39] | <nerochiaro> | vmarks: got the notes and shots of the epg mockup ? |
| [10:58] | <vmarks> | got em. |
| [12:16] | <crweb> | weather is amazing here |
| [12:16] | * crweb is heading out for golf | |
| [14:26] | <JoeBorn> | what should we talk about at the next meeting ? |
| [14:26] | <JoeBorn> | in about 30 hours I guess. |
| [14:28] | <nerochiaro> | well, given that there have been very little activity lately, with the team being on vacation and all that... i have no idea |
| [14:57] | <JoeBorn> | well I posted something, I'd like to finish out the instructions for the dev stuff |
| [14:57] | <JoeBorn> | speaking of which, I need to pick up some cat5 cables, etc to wire up my house. |
| [14:58] | <JoeBorn> | alternatively, how hard is it to make an AP into a bridge? |
| [14:58] | <JoeBorn> | is that something I have to flash the whole firmware or is that something supported by APs out of the box? |
| [15:37] | <sourcerror> | JoeBorn: FYI, nerochiaro and I discussed some simplification of how i18n is done. nerochiaro had great idea to use gettext() which is already part of the current OSD build! Important stuff but probably a little boring for the meeting. I'm need to a little more experimenting then will post a thread on the mail list. |
| [15:38] | <nerochiaro> | if Gao will be around i think it's a good time to propose that idea to him |
| [15:40] | <sourcerror> | nerochiaro: I'll try to do the other experimenting before then. time is a little short though... got birthday celebration going on tonight (not mine). |
| [15:41] | <nerochiaro> | well, it's worth discussing with him anyway, you can do the rest of the experiments later. it's better you have a good party, instead :) |
| [15:44] | <sourcerror> | I'll try to do the simplest expeirment of creating the binary file and getting gettext to locate it in the filesystem. Then I'll have some confidence in the proposal. |
| [15:44] | <nerochiaro> | good |
| [15:45] | <nerochiaro> | derobert: you around ? |
| [15:47] | <sgomes> | hi all |
| [15:47] | <nerochiaro> | hi |
| [15:47] | <sgomes> | hi nerochiaro |
| [15:51] | <crweb> | yo |
| [15:52] | <sgomes> | hi crweb |
| [15:52] | * crweb is boxing up a years worth of dead hard drives to send back for warranty replacement :) | |
| [15:53] | <nerochiaro> | how high is the body count ? |
| [15:53] | <crweb> | 7 |
| [15:53] | <nerochiaro> | bad year eh ? |
| [15:53] | <crweb> | 3 ata100, 1 ata 133, and 3 sata |
| [15:53] | <crweb> | yeah |
| [15:54] | <crweb> | when i get them all back, I dunno where i'll beable to put them |
| [15:54] | <crweb> | but they'll work. |
| [15:54] | <crweb> | i tend to just upgrade when they die |
| [15:55] | <nerochiaro> | you can put my addresson the return address of one of them if you don't know what to do with them ;) |
| [15:55] | <crweb> | 80gig main sata drive died, replaced with 320gig |
| [15:55] | <crweb> | 80 gig hardly seems worth putting back in the machine |
| [15:55] | <crweb> | i could use it for /home, but then I'd just fill it and still have 200 gig on the / |
| [15:56] | <crweb> | i lost a 120gig with many tv episodes including all of Lost, and The Office 2 days ago.. |
| [15:57] | <crweb> | irony at its bet |
| [15:57] | <crweb> | best |
| [16:04] | <nerochiaro> | crweb: aw, you can't really backup that stuff though |
| [16:05] | <crweb> | i tried once |
| [16:05] | <crweb> | I've got 4 200 disc cd folders full of burned dvd's |
| [16:05] | <crweb> | of just tivo content |
| [16:06] | <daurnimator> | i have 2 sata drives that were in a jbod array that have missing partition tables, and i can't get the data off the second one. |
| [16:06] | <crweb> | daurnimator: partition tables are no problem |
| [16:06] | <daurnimator> | the second drive has every console game pre PSX |
| [16:06] | <crweb> | gparted |
| [16:06] | <daurnimator> | gparted worked on the first drive, not the second |
| [16:07] | <crweb> | when I just had to recover, i used this tool i can't remember what its called |
| [16:07] | <crweb> | pulls files off without partition data |
| [16:07] | <crweb> | i had deleted the partition table by mistake |
| [16:08] | <crweb> | then bout this program to recover the data |
| [16:08] | <crweb> | bought |
| [16:08] | <crweb> | I recovered it, and transfered it from firewire drive -> usb drive |
| [16:08] | <daurnimator> | brb |
| [16:09] | <crweb> | i had used the mv command |
| [16:09] | <crweb> | machine locked up. So when i rebooted i rm -rf the data from the usb drive to start over cause mv usually doesn't delete the files until they are fully copied |
| [16:09] | <crweb> | and it had actually fully moved |
| [16:09] | <crweb> | ext3 you can't undelete from.. so.. |
| [16:09] | <crweb> | i lost 265gigs of audio |
| [16:10] | <crweb> | R-Studio |
| [16:10] | <crweb> | the recovery software worked great though |
| [16:13] | <nerochiaro> | what you guys think of monitoring the neuros SVN with CIA |
| [16:13] | <nerochiaro> | ? |
| [16:15] | <crweb> | whats cia? |
| [16:15] | <nerochiaro> | cia.navi.cx |
| [16:15] | <nerochiaro> | tracks activity on OSS projects and does interesting statistics |
| [16:15] | <nerochiaro> | commit activity |
| [16:17] | <daurnimator> | we could |
| [16:17] | <daurnimator> | oh well, i'm going to goto school |
| [16:17] | <daurnimator> | i'm really sick, but i've hardly been for 2 weeks |
| [16:17] | <nerochiaro> | i posted in ML about that. if anyone is interested please add your opinion so the admins will do that |
| [16:17] | <daurnimator> | already missed 1st period |
| [16:18] | <nerochiaro> | daurnimator: have good school |
| [16:18] | <daurnimator> | nerochiaro: you working for neuros paid? |
| [16:18] | <nerochiaro> | not yet |
| [16:18] | <nerochiaro> | hopefullly very soon |
| [16:21] | <daurnimator> | well done with that ;) |
| [16:21] | <daurnimator> | going to move to usa? :P |
| [16:21] | <nerochiaro> | nah, the USA are overrated ;) |
| [16:21] | <nerochiaro> | plus if i had to move somewhere, that would be china |
| [16:35] | <daurnimator> | ok, cyas |
| [20:40] | <daurnimator> | damn |
| [20:40] | <daurnimator> | had to come home |
| [22:26] | <crazy6> | so, people talk about msp430 programming a lot in here? |
| [22:42] | <natetrue> | i would not call it 'a lot' by any means |
| [22:42] | <natetrue> | the neuros OSD contains an MSP430 but the source is closed and we do not speak of it |
| [22:44] | <RobbieVantafario> | Yo |
| [23:21] | <Inc> | img470.imageshack.us << graffiti at its best |
| [23:36] | <may1937> | hah! good one |
| [23:38] | <daurnimator> | lol |
| [23:40] | <crazy6> | or www.flickr.com |
| [23:41] | <may1937> | not bad, but the other get more points for ragging on cops |
| [23:42] | <Inc> | crazy6: yeah, I put that one on my blog the other day |
| [23:42] | <Inc> | inc-omplete.org |
| [23:42] | <eigma> | it just got facebook'ed |
| [23:42] | <Inc> | check out the second one down |
| [23:42] | <eigma> | Inc: haha your web site crashed IE |
| [23:43] | <may1937> | eigma: that's a feature |
| [23:43] | <eigma> | that's not saying much, though.. |
| [23:43] | <eigma> | hehe |
| [23:43] | <crazy6> | so, I know I asked before, but then my connection crappe dout... searching on google, I found a lot of references to MSP430 programming in here... does anyone do msp430 programming? |
| [23:44] | <may1937> | oh yeah |
| [23:44] | <Inc> | haha, eigma good deal :) that's how I roll |
| [23:44] | <Inc> | I put javascript in |
| [23:44] | <Inc> | that if someone tries to open it up in IE |
| [23:44] | <Inc> | BAM! |
| [23:44] | <Inc> | actually, I didn't ;) |
| [23:44] | <eigma> | you're kidding |
| [23:44] | <eigma> | hehe |
| [23:45] | <Inc> | eigma: ie 6? |
| [23:45] | <eigma> | yes |
| [23:45] | <may1937> | crazy6: not for neuros but yeah i have used the little guys before |
| [23:45] | <Inc> | ah, that's probably why |
| [23:45] | <eigma> | crazy6: I haven't touched the MSP430, but what are you trying to do? maybe there's general uC help I could offer |
| [23:45] | <Inc> | i'm not even going to bother supporting IE6 |
| [23:45] | <Inc> | get a real browser bro |
| [23:46] | <eigma> | oh, I'm not asking.. |
| [23:46] | <crazy6> | may1937: would you know how to do something like, say, run an LED off PWM to controll the brightness? I am playing with that cheap ez430 kit |
| [23:46] | <may1937> | Inc: you're supposed to offer him a nickel first... "here's a nickel kid, get yourself a better browser" |
| [23:46] | <eigma> | Inc: yeah yeah.. everyone says that |
| [23:46] | <Inc> | may1937: haha |
| [23:46] | <Inc> | eigma: at least get IE7 |
| [23:46] | <Inc> | well if everyone says it |
| [23:46] | <eigma> | ...it must be true? :) |
| [23:46] | <Inc> | 'everyone' must not be 'wrong' |
| [23:47] | <Inc> | if everyone said to jump of a cliff |
| [23:47] | <Inc> | hell yeah I'd do it |
| [23:47] | <eigma> | free beer at the bottom, I bet |
| [23:47] | <may1937> | i'd be the last one so a goodly pile of bodies piles up first |
| [23:47] | <may1937> | crazy6: you mean like hardware pwm? i can't remember i'd have to check the datasheet to see it if is supported, but certainly you can just do pwm with a gpio line |
| [23:47] | <Inc> | may1937: exactly, just bounce of the fattys and you will be safe |
| [23:47] | <eigma> | point is.. I do actually use FF.. I've just been forgetting to set as default handler for http:// ... for 3 months now |
| [23:47] | <Inc> | that's how I roll |
| [23:48] | <Inc> | it's like a trampoline |
| [23:48] | <may1937> | Inc: that's how you bounce |
| [23:48] | <crazy6> | may1937: well, I think I could do a busy-wait PWM, probably. But I am trying to use the timer to do it |
| [23:48] | <eigma> | though, IE is faster; and I can save more screen realestate |
| [23:48] | <crazy6> | becasue I guess thats the "more right" way |
| [23:48] | <Inc> | may1937: exactly :) |
| [23:48] | <Inc> | eigma: I want some of whatever you are smoking |
| [23:48] | <Inc> | don't hold out on me bro |
| [23:48] | <eigma> | haha |
| [23:49] | <may1937> | crazy6: sure timer would work |
| [23:49] | <Inc> | in any case, I thought I'd drop in for shits 'n giggles and to convert IE users |
| [23:49] | <Inc> | I failed on the last point |
| [23:49] | <Inc> | so I must go to sleep |
| [23:49] | <crazy6> | may1937: yeah, well, my questions are kind of specific.. like is an interrupt thrown when the timer counts up to the value I set inthe compar register? |
| [23:49] | <Inc> | 'nighteo |
| [23:49] | <eigma> | cya |
| [23:50] | <may1937> | crazy6: depends on how you set the timer up. you have a datasheet, right? |
| [23:50] | <crazy6> | may1937: yes, but it is a little complicated and I'm inexperienced |
| [23:50] | <crazy6> | should I link you to the user's guide? |
| [23:51] | <may1937> | i have the x1xx one here, is that what you are using? |
| [23:51] | <crazy6> | no, 2013 |
| [23:51] | <may1937> | sure go ahead |
| [23:51] | <may1937> | i can't stick around too long but maybe i can give you a couple pointers |
| [23:51] | <crazy6> | www.ti.com specific chip datasheet |
| [23:51] | <crazy6> | ah ok |
| [23:51] | <crazy6> | that'd be helpful |
| [23:52] | <crazy6> | and the user's guide, which is more descriptive as a whole: www.ti.com |
| [23:53] | <may1937> | yeah that's the juicy one |
| [23:53] | <crazy6> | do I want CCIE ? TAIE ? |
| [23:56] | <eigma> | quick Google search for "msp430 pwm" turned up some useful resources... manufacturer's application notes are also usually pretty interesting |
| [23:56] | <crazy6> | yeah, there is a code for motor control with PWM (which I want to de eventually), but its in assembly |
| [23:56] | <crazy6> | which is even more confusing! |
| [23:57] | <may1937> | yeah ti loves their asm |
| [23:57] | <crazy6> | and they all use their devices hooked up directly to the timer pin |
| [23:57] | <crazy6> | whereas I want to use this with an already made board |
| [23:57] | <crazy6> | so I need interrupts to turn the LED on and off |
| [23:58] | <eigma> | oh, I see |
| [23:58] | * eigma goes back into hibernation | |
| [23:58] | <may1937> | yeah i don't think you want capture mode |
| [23:58] | <may1937> | take a look at page 173, that is what you want, right? count up to the TACCR0 value? |
| [23:59] | <crazy6> | yeah, I think so. But I want it to throw an interrupt when it gets to a certian value, too |
