| 00:19.22 | joe_bleau | I need a channel where I can rant about salesmen |
| 00:20.59 | prpplague | you are welcome to do that here |
| 00:23.27 | joe_bleau | Hey, anyone do serial (RS-422/RS-485, RS-232 might work) to 802.11b? I'm thinking Digi WI-SP, but open to recomendations. |
| 00:25.52 | prpplague | there are some new modules that seem to work well |
| 00:26.35 | prpplague | one sec let me get you a url |
| 00:26.37 | joe_bleau | I can deal with a DIN rail mount package, or maybe even a module. |
| 00:26.39 | joe_bleau | OK, thanks. |
| 00:27.44 | prpplague | http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=665 |
| 00:27.49 | prpplague | expensive |
| 00:28.20 | joe_bleau | Not really...I'm looking at ~$350 for the Digi |
| 00:28.25 | prpplague | oh |
| 00:28.41 | prpplague | sparkfun also has some prototype breakout boards as well |
| 00:30.38 | joe_bleau | Well, they're gonna have to do better than a 2 page sell sheet to convince me. |
| 00:31.20 | prpplague | hehe |
| 00:31.30 | prpplague | joe_bleau: try the original manufacturer |
| 00:31.34 | prpplague | they have lots of data |
| 00:31.36 | joe_bleau | I am |
| 00:32.15 | prpplague | way too expensive for our stuff |
| 00:32.28 | prpplague | we are gonna just use some usb dongles |
| 00:33.01 | joe_bleau | Sure. But I only need two, for a single job. But hey, it's also an excuse to buy an access point to play with. |
| 00:33.20 | prpplague | ahh |
| 00:34.07 | joe_bleau | Hey, do much RFID? |
| 00:34.27 | joe_bleau | One of these days I need to design a (125kHz?) RFID read/write head. |
| 00:34.40 | joe_bleau | We're paying way too much for the industrial grade unit we've been using. |
| 00:34.49 | prpplague | no not yet |
| 00:34.53 | prpplague | its on the horizon |
| 00:35.06 | prpplague | but we've not had any substantial requests |
| 00:37.43 | prpplague | joe_bleau: we are just trying to get this s3c2410 board out the door right now |
| 00:37.58 | prpplague | found a major power management problem this yesterday |
| 00:45.37 | prpplague | :P |
| 00:45.41 | sorphin | prpplague: and you to attend a class on power management theory :P |
| 00:45.50 | prpplague | amen |
| 00:46.02 | sorphin | prpplague: followed by a Beer social ;) |
| 00:46.26 | sorphin | and beer socials |
| 00:46.27 | sorphin | hehe |
| 00:50.27 | sorphin | prpplague: shouldn't you be off having a guinness dude? :) |
| 00:50.54 | prpplague | yep probably |
| 00:51.12 | prpplague | usually doing reading and stuff this time of the evening |
| 00:51.21 | prpplague | but now i've got some psuedo net at home |
| 00:51.28 | prpplague | i've been surfing more |
| 00:52.28 | sorphin | yeah yeah, you just like showing off your ghetto rigged interisland ppp connection ;) |
| 00:52.29 | sorphin | hehe |
| 00:52.42 | prpplague | hehe |
| 00:52.46 | prpplague | intraisland |
| 00:52.49 | sorphin | that too |
| 00:53.18 | sorphin | . o O ( plaguenet ) |
| 01:00.43 | agaffney | well, I've got the rack |
| 01:00.50 | agaffney | no mounting screws until tomorrow, though |
| 01:29.34 | sorphin | ah |
| 01:29.36 | sorphin | it's easy |
| 01:29.45 | sorphin | there should be |
| 01:29.52 | sorphin | 6 pieces :P |
| 01:30.00 | sorphin | the 2 long sides |
| 01:30.11 | sorphin | the 2 shorter L shapes are the top |
| 01:30.19 | sorphin | and the wider ones on the bottom |
| 01:30.31 | sorphin | bolt appropriately |
| 01:30.34 | agaffney | heh |
| 01:31.00 | sorphin | it's not that clear? :) |
| 01:31.10 | agaffney | it makes sense |
| 01:32.15 | sorphin | the only main thing is make sure it's all tight and everything's at 90 deg angles |
| 01:32.27 | sorphin | the bottom won't be a prob |
| 01:32.38 | agaffney | I guess the long side with the big holes on the bottom pieces is for mounting to the floor |
| 01:32.39 | sorphin | w/ 4 bolts per connection |
| 01:32.48 | sorphin | yeah |
| 01:32.54 | sorphin | 2 per big L |
| 01:33.22 | agaffney | there are 2 side-by-side holes on the "flat" side of the 7' sides |
| 01:33.30 | agaffney | every 2 feet or so |
| 01:33.32 | agaffney | what are those for? |
| 01:34.04 | sorphin | ah those |
| 01:34.21 | sorphin | mine are further than 2 feet :) |
| 01:34.24 | agaffney | and should the mounting holes be on the inside or outside? |
| 01:34.49 | agaffney | it looks like it's 3' from the bottom ones to the middle ones |
| 01:34.55 | sorphin | it it LD for you to be called or to call st louis? |
| 01:34.56 | agaffney | and then 2' from the middle to the top ones |
| 01:35.13 | agaffney | yes, I've got the el-cheapo phone plan |
| 01:35.34 | sorphin | ah |
| 01:35.39 | sorphin | slacker |
| 01:35.39 | sorphin | lol |
| 01:35.40 | agaffney | heh |
| 01:35.46 | agaffney | no, I just never use my home phone |
| 01:35.54 | sorphin | now what mounting holes? |
| 01:36.03 | agaffney | the ones for actually mounting stuff in the rack |
| 01:36.12 | sorphin | uhh |
| 01:36.28 | sorphin | looking from the top |
| 01:36.38 | sorphin | it should look like: [ ] |
| 01:36.48 | agaffney | eh, ok...should the "hollow" side of the side pieces be inside or outside? |
| 01:36.51 | agaffney | ok, so inside |
| 01:36.53 | sorphin | took me a minute to figure out what you were saying |
| 01:36.55 | sorphin | yes |
| 01:37.08 | sorphin | your best bet is to do the bottom |
| 01:37.15 | sorphin | that'll hold the rack at 90 deg |
| 01:37.21 | sorphin | w/ so many bolts |
| 01:37.45 | sorphin | make it as tight as you can w/o stripping anything or killing yourself |
| 01:37.45 | sorphin | lol |
| 01:37.51 | agaffney | heh |
| 01:37.58 | agaffney | I'll keep that in mind |
| 01:38.17 | sorphin | you don't the rack to collapse :) |
| 01:38.20 | sorphin | +want |
| 01:38.54 | sorphin | washers go on the outside btw |
| 01:39.19 | sorphin | Bolt+lockwasher+metal+metal+washer+nut (if yours has all that |
| 01:40.47 | agaffney | I was just about to ask that |
| 01:40.57 | agaffney | I did it the right way then :P |
| 01:45.58 | sorphin | heh, my rack is 1" from the ceiling |
| 01:50.57 | agaffney | I've got about a foot |
| 01:52.04 | sorphin | nod |
| 01:52.08 | sorphin | this is in the basement, so... |
| 01:55.11 | agaffney | getting this 90 degrees is harder than it looks :P |
| 01:57.18 | sorphin | uh |
| 01:57.19 | sorphin | i dunno how |
| 01:57.26 | sorphin | the bottom pieces should hold it there |
| 01:57.54 | sorphin | and you are putting all the L pieces on the OUTSIDE of the rack arms, right? |
| 01:58.58 | agaffney | yes |
| 01:59.29 | agaffney | if the bottom bolts (even just the top ones) aren't *completely* tight, there's a few degrees of play either side of 90 |
| 01:59.53 | sorphin | the rack flexes when under load |
| 01:59.59 | sorphin | hell, my whole rack'll sway if i make it |
| 02:00.08 | agaffney | heh |
| 02:00.17 | sorphin | tighten the whole bottom completely tight |
| 02:00.23 | sorphin | then do the top |
| 02:00.35 | agaffney | I loosed them a bit because the top didn't teach both sides |
| 02:00.46 | agaffney | both arms were slightly more than 90 |
| 02:00.55 | agaffney | s/teach/reach/ |
| 02:02.26 | agaffney | how do the top things go on? |
| 02:02.32 | sorphin | outside |
| 02:02.35 | agaffney | are they completly on the outside? |
| 02:02.36 | sorphin | just like the bottom |
| 02:02.37 | agaffney | ah |
| 02:02.39 | agaffney | ok |
| 02:02.47 | agaffney | I was wondering why the holes didn't line up :P |
| 02:03.02 | sorphin | with the part pointing out at the top |
| 02:03.08 | sorphin | looking from the side |
| 02:03.19 | sorphin | it'll look like: |
| 02:03.23 | sorphin | -- -- |
| 02:03.30 | sorphin | <PROTECTED> |
| 02:03.35 | sorphin | something like that |
| 02:04.01 | agaffney | yeah |
| 02:04.10 | agaffney | I should have known the CPI sticker would face outside :) |
| 02:04.38 | sorphin | hehe |
| 02:04.48 | sorphin | and right side up |
| 02:04.49 | sorphin | ;) |
| 02:09.56 | agaffney | alright, it's together and everything is 90 degrees |
| 02:11.59 | sorphin | and everything's tighten well? |
| 02:12.21 | sorphin | oh |
| 02:12.26 | sorphin | piece of advice |
| 02:12.30 | sorphin | find something to put under it |
| 02:12.40 | sorphin | cardboard, a piece of wood wide enough |
| 02:12.42 | sorphin | doesn't matter |
| 02:12.44 | sorphin | something |
| 02:12.56 | sorphin | or else when you load it up |
| 02:13.09 | sorphin | you'll leave a 'lasting impression' in the carpet |
| 02:13.09 | sorphin | lol |
| 02:13.16 | agaffney | heh |
| 02:13.23 | agaffney | good idea |
| 02:13.32 | agaffney | but a couch does the same thing :P |
| 02:14.00 | sorphin | *shrug* |
| 02:14.11 | sorphin | helped when i had carpet under mine |
| 02:14.22 | sorphin | vacuumed right up |
| 02:14.38 | sorphin | also made it more stable |
| 02:14.42 | sorphin | than straight on the carpet |
| 02:14.56 | sorphin | and seperated it from static issues more |
| 02:15.09 | agaffney | not saying I won't :P |
| 02:15.31 | sorphin | hehe |
| 02:15.32 | sorphin | :) |
| 02:19.32 | agaffney | hmm, it doesn't look like my digital camera is usb mass storage :/ |
| 02:26.26 | agaffney | http://dev.gentoo.org/~agaffney/images/rack_empty.jpg |
| 02:35.29 | agaffney | heh, my wife gave me a funny look when she came in the room and saw it |
| 02:52.21 | agaffney | sorphin: what are those sets of holes on the sides for? |

| 13:56.47 | prpplague | nazgool: there litterally hundreds of programs that can utilize them |
| 13:56.56 | agaffney | I think we ended up throwing out anything from that "junk" pile that we didn't think we'd have a use for |

| 14:08.07 | nazgool | prpplague: sure. well, i'm just starting with all that. i was wondering if that already existed |
| 14:08.17 | nazgool | sorphin: sure |
| 14:08.40 | prpplague | nazgool: i'm sure there is some code out there, the SAM series is pretty populare |
| 14:08.46 | prpplague | nazgool: just a matter of digging |
| 14:09.16 | nazgool | prpplague: actually i found something that looks quite exactly like what i need (openocd) but i still have a couple probs with it |
| 14:09.31 | nazgool | yeah i don't stop digging |
| 14:10.44 | prpplague | well the bsdl is available for the SAM7 stuff so it wouldn't be hard at all to add it to a number of applications |
| 14:11.56 | nazgool | well, i'll have a look at it. i'm still quite a noob to that, always had my gdb and didn't bother about the actual jtag interna below |

| 14:41.15 | agaffney | ok, I found an "interesting" device in a pile in the back here at work |
| 14:41.32 | agaffney | it has 16 DB25 female serial ports on the front |
| 14:41.33 | jbevren | do tell |
| 14:41.48 | agaffney | a weird SCSI-ish (or so my boss thinks) interface on the side |
| 14:41.57 | jbevren | centronics 50? |
| 14:42.07 | jbevren | I have a scsi serial terminal server from sgi around someplace |
| 14:42.19 | jbevren | it has 16 db25 female serial ports :) |
| 14:42.26 | jbevren | and a pair of HD50 scsi connectors |
| 14:42.33 | agaffney | it says "Equinox" and "SuperSerial Technology" on the front |
| 14:43.01 | agaffney | I couldn't find the serial multiplexer I was looking for, though |
| 14:43.06 | agaffney | it's probably long gone |
| 14:43.16 | agaffney | I wondering if this thing will be of any use |
| 14:44.01 | agaffney | there's also a DB25 "terminator" attached to one of the ports on the front |
| 14:44.09 | agaffney | wtf is this thing? |
| 14:45.38 | agaffney | hmm, looking at equinox's site, it looks like it probably required a special PCI card |
| 14:45.38 | jbevren | agaffney: you dont suppose its not just a breakout box do you? |
| 14:45.52 | agaffney | that this SCSI-ish thing plugged into |
| 14:46.03 | jbevren | nod |
| 14:46.13 | jbevren | its not uncommon for telecom equipment to use centronics connectors |
| 14:46.27 | jbevren | my daystar appletalk router uses a centronics plug for the non-ethernet side |

| 14:49.55 | agaffney | yep, it requires a special PCI card to use |
| 14:50.16 | jbevren | you guys probably have the card then |
| 14:50.18 | jbevren | hehe |
| 14:50.24 | jbevren | can I come down and dig through your junkpiles? :) |
| 14:50.27 | agaffney | nope, probably got thrown out |
| 14:50.39 | agaffney | most of what we have is from a previous tenant in our building |
| 14:50.42 | agaffney | we own the building |
| 14:50.57 | agaffney | we dug through their stuff and pick out what we thought might be useful |
| 14:50.58 | jbevren | ah |
| 14:51.02 | agaffney | but now there's a new tenant |
| 14:51.06 | agaffney | so everything else got chucked |
| 14:54.11 | prpplague | ugh i wish there was a good channel for usb dev |

| 16:52.15 | jbevren | you can use an i2c controller |
| 16:52.18 | jbevren | bitbang a parallel port |
| 16:55.58 | fromvega | jbevren: can I use the serial port? the i2c controller you have mentioned, is a software or a hardware? |
| 17:00.30 | jbevren | there are serial i2c controllers |
| 17:00.33 | jbevren | I dont have any myself |

| 17:55.30 | prpplague | T0mW: hey hey |
| 17:55.41 | prpplague | T0mW: you get your enc28j60 stuff laid out? |
| 17:55.52 | prpplague | T0mW: i'm having an occasional reset problem on mine |
| 17:56.07 | T0mW | yes |
| 17:56.29 | T0mW | prpplague: just getting the parts order together. |
| 17:58.04 | prpplague | T0mW: not sure where i've gone wrong |
| 17:58.22 | prpplague | T0mW: (on many levels besides the enc28j60 driver, hehehe) |
| 17:59.24 | T0mW | prpplague: whats the reset problem? It won't reset properly? |
| 18:00.07 | prpplague | T0mW: i've not had time to do detailed testing, but it appears that about 1 out of every five times i load the kernel module it doesn't appear to init properly |
| 18:00.08 | T0mW | prpplague: or that it seems to arbitrarily reset itself |
| 18:00.18 | prpplague | T0mW: i.e. no packets in/out |
| 18:00.31 | prpplague | T0mW: after a reset of the board, load the module again, it works |
| 18:01.16 | prpplague | T0mW: i think possibly something isn't waiting long enough for a read/write to complete |
| 18:01.21 | T0mW | I know that when I layed the board out, I had to pay special attention the supply lines. They have big-time warnings about how the chip will create supply surges |
| 18:01.48 | prpplague | interesting |
| 18:02.18 | T0mW | prpplague: maybe the supply line to the area of the IC is too light? Say a 16mil trace feeding the chip as the main supply feed?? |
| 18:02.53 | T0mW | prpplague: unless you are multilayer and have a beefy ground and VDD supply plane? |
| 18:03.10 | prpplague | T0mW: its multilayer and we have a 3.3v plane |
| 18:03.39 | T0mW | ok, they wanted each supply pin bypassed with a 0.1uf cap, should be 5 of them. |
| 18:04.20 | prpplague | T0mW: yea, i'm using the framethrower board |
| 18:04.51 | prpplague | T0mW: i think i just need to double check my init sequence |
| 18:06.28 | prpplague | plus i'm having acm problems as well :( |
| 18:07.16 | *** mode/#edev [+o prpplague] by ChanServ |
| 18:08.52 | T0mW | not bad, I've 49 seperate partnumbers on this board. |
| 18:09.33 | T0mW | 123 parts |
| 18:09.35 | prpplague | pretty darn good |
| 18:09.46 | T0mW | lots of caps |
| 18:09.56 | prpplague | caps or craps? |
| 18:09.57 | prpplague | hehe |
| 18:10.04 | T0mW | resistors are cheap, they get you on the price of the caps |
| 18:10.31 | prpplague | hehe |
| 18:10.52 | prpplague | speaking of crap |
| 18:10.53 | T0mW | caps are a penny more each, heh |
| 18:11.03 | prpplague | my acm driver seems to only get data one way |
| 18:11.11 | T0mW | acm? |
| 18:12.01 | T0mW | prpplague: hmm, maybe you are initing the ENC28J60 too soon? |
| 18:13.21 | prpplague | T0mW: too soon? |
| 18:14.09 | prpplague | T0mW: too soon compared to what? |
| 18:18.41 | T0mW | prpplague: well, maybe you are sending it init data before it hasn't finished it's power up sequence? |
| 18:19.06 | T0mW | osc takes some time to lock, etc. |
| 18:19.16 | T0mW | just a thought |
| 18:19.30 | prpplague | T0mW: its usually atleast a minute before i insmod the module |
| 18:19.38 | prpplague | i would think thats plenty of time |
| 18:19.43 | T0mW | ok |
| 18:19.55 | prpplague | min would be around 10 seconds for linux to boot |

| 18:47.10 | agaffney | score! rack shelf is here too :P |
| 18:50.22 | prpplague | i don't know i find myself in areas of the OSS world where there is absolutely no one get help from |
| 18:51.50 | agaffney | I've ventured into a few areas where there are very few people to get help from |
| 18:52.07 | agaffney | writing cross-arch partitioning code is one of those areas :/ |
| 18:54.00 | prpplague | agaffney: i'm consitantly there |
| 18:54.08 | prpplague | agaffney: i mean its not like there isn't people who |
| 18:54.13 | prpplague | agaffney: know about it |
| 18:54.26 | prpplague | agaffney: its just they are very unwilling to discuss it with anyone else |
| 18:55.34 | agaffney | :/ |
| 19:27.10 | jbevren | agaffney: score! (catching up, rack shelf) |
| 19:33.57 | agaffney | heh |
| 19:34.03 | agaffney | I wasn't expecting to get it for another few days |
| 19:34.12 | agaffney | now I get to mount stuff when I get home :) |
| 19:34.16 | jbevren | yeps |
| 19:34.28 | jbevren | I think I'll just ghetto-mount my stuff |
| 19:34.52 | agaffney | I got 50-count Gruber mounting screws today as well |
| 19:35.01 | jbevren | :) |
| 19:35.18 | jbevren | I have a rack, but its occupied by two origin 2000 modules and an sgi storage expansion unit |
| 19:35.19 | agaffney | now I just need a few more shelves |
| 19:35.22 | jbevren | mwahahah |
| 19:35.26 | agaffney | but I'll have to wait until next payday |
| 19:35.30 | agaffney | heh |
| 19:35.46 | agaffney | I also need a better UPS |
| 19:35.52 | jbevren | I need -a- ups |
| 19:35.54 | jbevren | sigh |
| 19:35.55 | agaffney | all I've got is a 250VA APC |
| 19:36.11 | jbevren | where I used to work, we'd use a spare ups to vaccuum the datacenter :) |
| 19:36.16 | jbevren | put it on a 4wheel cart and just go around |
| 19:36.26 | jbevren | charge it up, clean, plug it back in :) |
| 19:36.31 | agaffney | when the power went out for a few hours last weekend, my UPS held my amd64 box (and the flat panel) for all of 1:30 |
| 19:36.35 | agaffney | heh |
| 19:36.43 | agaffney | it was enough time to initiate a shutdown, though |
| 19:36.51 | jbevren | nod |
| 19:37.19 | agaffney | we've got a decent 850VA here at work that'll hold our dual Xeon server for ~30 minutes |
| 19:37.36 | agaffney | and I've got apcupsd setup to shutdown when there's 5 minutes of battery power left |
| 19:40.01 | jbevren | neat |
| 19:40.11 | jbevren | my friend has a 950va unit that I keep forgetting to bring home |
| 19:40.22 | jbevren | we'll see how long it can hold 12 harddisks up :) |
| 19:40.55 | agaffney | heh |
| 19:41.02 | agaffney | this server has 4 SATA drives |
