| 00:04.18 | g1powermac_PB | RobotGuy: realistically, this book is made so you can use other procs and boards, and since the examples are based on an arm chip, I think it'll still work for ya |
| 00:05.23 | RobotGuy | g1powermac_PB: Is it mostly C? |
| 00:05.27 | RobotGuy | For code |
| 00:06.07 | g1powermac_PB | hmm, its not really a coding type book, it more explains how embedded linux works |
| 00:06.12 | RobotGuy | Speaking of Cortex-M3, I want the eval board for the LM3S6965 |
| 00:06.37 | g1powermac_PB | right now I'm reading how the whole kernel system boots up in an embedded environment |
| 00:07.14 | g1powermac_PB | for me its perfect, since I don't know much of that kind of stuff |
| 00:07.33 | RobotGuy | g1powermac_PB: I know how to make Hammer use either Flash or an Initrd for rootfs. |
| 00:07.38 | roxfan | i have lm3s811 one, it's a neat little board |
| 00:07.57 | roxfan | no ethernet though (i assume you want that) |
| 00:07.59 | RobotGuy | Cool |
| 00:08.23 | g1powermac_PB | RobotGuy: well, this actually goes into the whole bootloader, bootstrap loader, kernel loading process |
| 00:08.29 | g1powermac_PB | at least this one chapter |
| 00:08.49 | RobotGuy | roxfan: Actually, I am after Ethernet, Dual Quadrature Encoder modules. and more serial ports mostly. |
| 00:08.52 | g1powermac_PB | goes over how control is passed around in the booting process |
| 00:08.55 | roxfan | i see |
| 00:09.19 | RobotGuy | g1powermac_PB: That part might tell me some things I don't know. I would like to make Hammer boot from my USB Thumb Drive. |
| 00:09.21 | SpeedEvil | passes RobotGuy a USB triple quadrature encoder module that sells for $4. |
| 00:11.01 | g1powermac_PB | RobotGuy: it depends how much previous knowledge you have |
| 00:11.11 | RobotGuy | SpeedEvil: It's also an excuse to learn about another company's ARM technology. :P |
| 00:11.33 | RobotGuy | g1powermac_PB: I only know what I have learned from prpplague. |
| 00:11.51 | roxfan | RobotGuy: the cpu is $13 and it does much more than qe :) |
| 00:12.14 | RobotGuy | roxfan: I am not looking for just QE |
| 00:12.24 | g1powermac_PB | RobotGuy: heh, ok, unless you bugged him alot, then this book is for you :-) |
| 00:12.26 | roxfan | er that was to SpeedEvil |
| 00:12.53 | RobotGuy | I expect I could learn a lot from that book. |
| 00:15.43 | RobotGuy | I'd also like to use the AVR32/7001 at some point, but I want access to ALL the features of the chip. |
| 00:17.45 | RobotGuy | I notice that Virutual Cogs has some priliminary stuff up about an i.MX31 board. |
| 00:17.50 | g1powermac_PB | hmm, atmel limits access to some of the avr32's features? |
| 00:18.18 | RobotGuy | g1powermac_PB: I am not sure but I believe so on the NGW100 board. |
| 00:18.32 | g1powermac_PB | hmm |
| 00:18.38 | g1powermac_PB | make your own board then :-) |
| 00:18.53 | RobotGuy | Back to that again. I'm unable to do that. |
| 00:19.03 | g1powermac_PB | yea, me too |
| 00:19.15 | g1powermac_PB | for the most part |
| 00:21.31 | g1powermac_PB | RobotGuy: btw, what are you lacking to make your own boards? |
| 00:22.45 | RobotGuy | g1powermac_PB: Good Schematic capture software I can deal with. I haven't looked at gEDA yet (need to do that). I'm pretty sure I won't be able to solder a 208 QFP. |
| 00:23.24 | g1powermac_PB | for schematic software, I like this one: http://www.winqcad.com/ |
| 00:23.52 | g1powermac_PB | it'll run under wine, and there's ways to 'convince' it to give you a higher maximum pin count |
| 00:24.17 | g1powermac_PB | obviously buying the software is always recommended if you want higher pin counts |
| 00:24.31 | roxfan | sparkfun's smd soldering tutorial makes it sound easy... |
| 00:24.51 | RobotGuy | g1powermac_PB: Do they have good parts libraries? |
| 00:25.01 | g1powermac_PB | as for soldering a 208qfp, if I could solder a minila with my crappy soldering station, you can do a 208qfp :-) |
| 00:25.20 | g1powermac_PB | they're ok, not great, but ok |
| 00:25.21 | RobotGuy | I have a better soldering iron. :) |
| 00:25.32 | RobotGuy | (I think) |
| 00:25.55 | RobotGuy | Weller WES51 is what I have. |
| 00:26.10 | g1powermac_PB | also, for doing soldering, I really recommend getting one of those magnifying visors, they're just awesome for working with small components |
| 00:26.23 | g1powermac_PB | $10 on ebay gets you one with lights on it |
| 00:26.29 | RobotGuy | g1powermac_PB: I definitely need one of those. $50.00 locally. |
| 00:26.44 | SpeedEvil | I also find a webcam works well |
| 00:26.45 | g1powermac_PB | loves his, should've gotten it years ago |
| 00:26.48 | SpeedEvil | A quality one that is. |
| 00:26.55 | g1powermac_PB | webcam? |
| 00:26.56 | RobotGuy | Webcam? |
| 00:26.58 | SpeedEvil | More for inspection than soldering though. |
| 00:27.05 | g1powermac_PB | ahh |
| 00:27.07 | SpeedEvil | Focus it down at 10cm, hook up to monitor |
| 00:27.18 | g1powermac_PB | interesting idea |
| 00:27.39 | SpeedEvil | My 2MP webcam does really well like that. |
| 00:28.07 | g1powermac_PB | stick a macro lens on it and you could get a really good image |
| 00:28.24 | SpeedEvil | Actually, it focuses down just fine. |
| 00:28.28 | g1powermac_PB | might actually get a webcam for that purpose |
| 00:28.33 | SpeedEvil | That one is even autofocus. |
| 00:28.48 | RobotGuy | WHich do you have? |
| 00:28.56 | SpeedEvil | Creative Optia AF |
| 00:29.02 | SpeedEvil | 2MP at 10FPS in linux too. |
| 00:29.06 | RobotGuy | That's the same one I want! |
| 00:29.16 | g1powermac_PB | not bad |
| 00:30.08 | RobotGuy | I''m not even getting my interface parts this month. :( |
| 00:30.15 | SpeedEvil | :/ |
| 00:30.45 | SpeedEvil | If I win the lottery ticket, I'll set up a welfare fund for poor aspiring EEs. |
| 00:31.04 | SpeedEvil | After setting up my modest palace on the moon. |
| 00:31.06 | g1powermac_PB | ooo |
| 00:31.29 | RobotGuy | I'm not aspiring to become an EE. I just want to build robots and be able to put good controllers on them. |
| 00:31.49 | SpeedEvil | RobotGuy: have you considered trained hamsters? |
| 00:32.04 | g1powermac_PB | yea, technically I'm not an EE or CE student anymore either |
| 00:32.24 | g1powermac_PB | though I'm still seriously thinking about biomedical engineering |
| 00:33.09 | SpeedEvil | passes g1powermac_PB 'Creating man-machine abominations for fun and megalomania for dummies' |
| 00:33.32 | g1powermac_PB | SpeedEvil: ooo, nice |
| 00:33.48 | g1powermac_PB | actually, I think there's a course like that at the local large university :-) |
| 00:34.16 | RobotGuy | If I could solder a 208 QFP, I could use most of the chips I am interested in using. |
| 00:34.41 | SpeedEvil | what? |
| 00:37.16 | SpeedEvil | quite simple really as long as you've got soldermasked PCB and paste |
| 00:37.38 | g1powermac_PB | even without paste it can be done fairly easily |
| 00:38.28 | SpeedEvil | yeah |
| 00:38.39 | g1powermac_PB | thats how I built my minila |
| 00:43.11 | RobotGuy | What is a minilla? |

| 17:32.31 | g1powermac | this is really want I want to build: http://reza.net/cms/index.php?page=HealthMonitor |
| 17:32.42 | g1powermac | figures someone else has already did it |
| 17:32.55 | g1powermac | though what I want to do is a bit different than theirs |
| 17:33.14 | g1powermac | but I really want to know how they made their sensor circuits |
| 17:34.07 | SpeedEvil | what sensor are you wondering on? |
| 17:34.55 | g1powermac | everything except the accelerometer, audio, and body temp |
| 17:35.21 | g1powermac | I already got the accelerometer part taken care of, and audio and body temp is easy |
| 17:35.46 | g1powermac | but the ECG, EMR, GSR, and Pulse Ox is the stuff I'd love to find really good info about |
| 17:35.55 | SpeedEvil | do you understand the concept of the homodyne reciever? |
| 17:36.03 | g1powermac | no |
| 17:36.28 | SpeedEvil | Ok. |
| 17:37.07 | SpeedEvil | For the pulse oximiter, you need to measure the transmittance of a bit of flesh (ear, or finger is popular) to two different frequencies of IR |
| 17:37.29 | g1powermac | yea, was reading about that |
| 17:37.32 | SpeedEvil | This is simply done by two differnet IR LEDs, and one (or two) phototransistors or diodes. |
| 17:38.05 | SpeedEvil | http://www.bioe.psu.edu/SeniorDesignProjects/SD2006/DFord/bioe450%20web%20page.htm |
| 17:38.07 | g1powermac | I found this: http://www.analog.com/library/analogdialogue/archives/41-01/pulse_oximeter.html |
| 17:38.09 | SpeedEvil | is probably of use |
| 17:38.27 | g1powermac | ahh, thats nice |
| 17:39.52 | SpeedEvil | How I'd do it is two LEDs - red and IR, and one phototransistor. |
| 17:40.18 | SpeedEvil | amplify the phototransistor and filter the output of it so you get (say) 10KHz. |
| 17:40.25 | SpeedEvil | In a notch filter. |
| 17:41.03 | SpeedEvil | Then sample the amplitude of this with a microcontroller, while turning the red and IR LEDs on in sequence, each pulsing maybe 100 waves of 10KHz |
| 17:41.22 | SpeedEvil | This will have good immunity from daylight |
| 17:42.05 | Madsy | Is the linux interrupt service number the same on ARM as on the x86 architecture? And what about the syscall numbers? |
| 17:42.12 | g1powermac | SpeedEvil, interesting |

| 17:43.38 | Madsy | On the x86 platform you use INT 0x80 for syscalls, and eax decides the "syscall number". Can I assume that SWI does the exact same thing? |

| 18:20.40 | ali_as | g1powermac, if you can get LEDs of specific IR wavelengths you can add glucose monitoring as well. |
| 18:21.03 | g1powermac | hmmm |
| 18:21.07 | SpeedEvil | ali_as: not AIUI |
| 18:21.17 | SpeedEvil | ali_as: AIUI you need _sharp_ filters to do that. |
| 18:21.28 | SpeedEvil | As you can't get lasers of the right bandwidth. |
| 18:21.35 | SpeedEvil | And LEDs aren't narrow enough. |
| 18:22.19 | SpeedEvil | Or a very sensitive spectrophotometer instead of a phototransistor. |
| 18:22.39 | ali_as | These would be quite long wavelength IR. |
| 18:22.51 | SpeedEvil | You don't get long wavelength IR LEDs |
| 18:22.52 | ali_as | I'm not aware of any insane linewidth requirements. |
| 18:23.04 | SpeedEvil | Or lasers actually |
| 18:23.32 | SpeedEvil | semiconductor lasers that is. |
| 18:23.41 | ali_as | Long compaired to the 800 odd nm stuff anyway. I don't recall the exact numbers. |
| 18:23.55 | SpeedEvil | IIRC the longest is about 1500nm |
| 18:31.09 | g1powermac | hmm, so I'd need a set of these and set in the visible range: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=241 |
| 18:35.17 | SpeedEvil | that sort of thiong |
| 18:35.23 | SpeedEvil | that sort of thong |
| 18:35.28 | SpeedEvil | si8gh |
| 18:35.57 | ali_as | http://www.scitec.uk.com/irleds/ |
| 18:36.28 | ali_as | Seems to indicate LEDs go well into the mid IR. Not a great example though, they seem to be fairly broadband. |
| 18:36.50 | SpeedEvil | As I understand these sorts of devices are several hundred $ per. |
| 18:37.23 | ali_as | Could be, if not mass produced then likley expensive. |
| 18:38.15 | ali_as | It's been more than 5 years since I looked into this and I can't easily find my notes on which wavelengths are being recommended. |
| 18:38.59 | ali_as | The suggestion is, this method mostly works but the results fall short of the reliability needed for real medical work. |
| 18:39.08 | SpeedEvil | I did some searching a couple of years ago, and found the wavelentghs needed were awkward - though again, I can't get it. |
| 18:39.22 | SpeedEvil | Actually no - they are quite reliable enough - but that may be where the difficulty comes in. |
| 18:39.40 | SpeedEvil | In that you can get a hi/low indication from one person in good conditions easily |
| 18:40.01 | SpeedEvil | getting a number, from a random person, in challenging conditions is another matter entirely. |

| 19:24.57 | chouimat | g1powermac: I just bought a new computer ... added 3 1TB hdd for 198 each |
| 19:25.11 | g1powermac | wow, cool |
| 19:25.50 | chouimat | now need to make some space so I can plug this little beast (I got the mac pro) |
| 19:26.03 | g1powermac | ahhh, mac pro, you'll love it |
| 19:26.23 | chouimat | g1powermac: 8 cores ... that will help too |
| 19:26.32 | g1powermac | would love a mac pro |
| 19:26.49 | chouimat | g1powermac: and I got 2 HP w2007 monitors for 200$ each |
| 19:26.49 | g1powermac | though I must say my c2d imac with 2gb of ram works nicely |
| 19:27.11 | chouimat | g1powermac: I'm replacing 8 servers with the mac pro |
| 19:27.20 | g1powermac | kewl |
| 19:27.32 | g1powermac | man, that book has everything you need to know about pulse ox stuff |

| 21:07.05 | g1powermac | interesting article: http://www.analog.com/library/analogDialogue/archives/37-11/ecg.html |
| 21:07.18 | g1powermac | wonder if I could sample all the parts for that from analog |
| 21:10.54 | SpeedEvil | I would say _drastic_ overkill. |
| 21:11.10 | g1powermac | SpeedEvil, how so? |

| 21:11.44 | SpeedEvil | battery powered amp up to a V-F converter, then a optoisolator. |
| 21:13.30 | g1powermac | so what would you think wouldn't be necessary? just the isolator? |
| 21:13.38 | SpeedEvil | Assuming you've already got a micro to do the heavy lifting, there is no good reason to add anohter. |
| 21:14.01 | g1powermac | well, kinda need to use a mcu |
| 21:14.06 | g1powermac | in regards to the zipit |
| 21:14.19 | g1powermac | since there aren't gpios that are brought out to the expansion port |
| 21:14.23 | SpeedEvil | ah |
| 21:14.31 | SpeedEvil | what's brought out? |
| 21:14.34 | g1powermac | only useable comm system is i2c |
| 21:15.01 | g1powermac | and I already got i2c to uart chips lined up |
| 21:15.25 | g1powermac | so it would be fairly easy to attach this circuit to the zipit using that chip |
| 21:20.06 | g1powermac | well, I can get three of the chips free from analog |
| 21:20.36 | g1powermac | and if I kill the isolation stuff, then there isn't that much else I need |
| 21:21.50 | SpeedEvil | I'm unsure if the performance of teh circuit will be OK - even assuming the zipit is grounded to the body. |
| 21:22.05 | g1powermac | SpeedEvil, oh, and the mcu they're using is a 8052 based one, which I love :-) |
| 21:22.18 | SpeedEvil | I dunno if there are such things as F-I2C converters. |
| 21:22.40 | SpeedEvil | There are also linear optoisolators. |

| 21:24.33 | g1powermac | there's the i2c to uart chip |
| 21:24.43 | g1powermac | can easily get them from digikey and the like |

| 21:34.46 | g1powermac | my imac came with the older keyboard, but when we got a mini later on, I took its new aluminum keyboard for myself :-) |
| 21:38.39 | chouimat | g1powermac: it's not bad it's just I was expecting a "real" keyboard :) |
