08:34.35infobothmm... xy is The XY problem: You want to do X, but don't know how. You think you can solve it using Y, but don't know how to do that, either. You ask about Y, which is a strange thing to want to do. Just ask about X. http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal
08:35.27corecodeabsurdist: do you want to learn how to build a voltage inverter, or do you just want to get it done?
08:35.44absurdistyeah maybe two diodes and a few caps
08:36.16synx508absurdist, yes, you can use a NE555, then an adjustable -ve regulator. Or if you're smart, some sort of reference and a comparator to tweak the 555's duty cycle
08:36.32synx508and a diode pump too obv
08:37.14*** join/##electronics XOPK (~OPK@unaffiliated/opk)
08:37.57absurdisttwo resistors 4 caps 2 diodes OK
08:38.33synx508probably not enough parts to do it stabilised, but enough to get a negative voltage
08:39.22DocScrutinizer05or you get an inverting SEPIC converter
08:39.31DocScrutinizer05or buck
08:39.45DocScrutinizer05module
08:39.49puddingpimpI usually just plop a umodule
08:39.49absurdistthey are noisy
08:40.13puddingpimpcan worry about designing a cheaper solution after the prototype is proven
08:41.06synx508haha, NE555s are noisier
08:43.04synx508I used a diode/cap voltage inverter of the unused outputs on a binary counter to get -ve for a comparator not so long ago, which felt very wrong

08:43.45synx508need more tea. sentence construction fail.
08:43.56absurdistwell i think the capacitors in this old circuit regulating the negative voltage are rotten. the voltage jumps up and down, maybe a zener diode seen the eternal hunting grounds.
08:44.42Loetmichelsounds more like some caps gone "blind"
08:46.17absurdisthave to replace electrolytics anyway, it sucks, i hope the board isnt' damaged
08:47.49synx508could it be that the load is causing the voltage to change or have you tested without a load?
08:49.59DocScrutinizer05gillesmauve: see "Move cursor..." commands in http://ascii-table.com/ansi-escape-sequences-vt-100.php
08:51.10DocScrutinizer05keep in mind to explicitly clear all printing positions by printing either a new char or a space to each
08:55.07absurdistsynx508, it is a known problem of this board
08:55.25absurdistsynx508, alc voltage fluctuating and other weird shit
08:55.42DocScrutinizer05you got a schematics?

09:02.10ketascan't the sdr hardware measure signals outside it's range?
09:02.12linux_probewhere's the beef
09:02.59ketasi have vague understanding it gets interference at least
09:03.23corecodeits*
09:03.42NorKlemmm brains!
09:04.56ketascorecode: indeed
09:05.14NorKle:P~
09:05.21ketasbut most of its is it's hence the bug i guess
09:06.17ketasi wonder where the star correction came from?
09:06.32corecodefrom outer space

09:10.13ketasor maybe http://leoxicon.blogspot.com/2017/09/asterisk-correcting-typos.html?m=1
09:10.27godSend23heh
09:10.51corecodeold irc thing
09:13.05jancoowHi. I'm having a lot of interference when powering on my 500mw 433mhz module. There was a bit of inference when I set it to 10mw first (but didn't really know this was causing it). When I set the power to 100mw, it was way worse
09:13.14jancoowaliexpress.com/item/32989009928.html I was wondering if something like this would help
09:13.44corecodecan you post a proper link?
09:13.55jancoowhttps://aliexpress.com/item/32989009928.html
09:14.10ketascorecode: yet so confusing
