| 01:18.49 | RobotGuy-Out | It's not the price of spam that worries me - it's the green eggs and ham! |
| 01:31.31 | GPSFan | prpplague: hey, The z2's taken a back seat to some real life projects such as: http://imagebin.ca/view/GvdHv7.html that I built for our local nano-brewery. |
| 01:35.21 | prpplague | nice |
| 01:37.24 | GPSFan | prpplague: isn't done yet, it goes to denver this weekend to get the burners installed, then back here for fiishing. the brewery is expanding and can't keep up with demand, they were at Ouray beer festival last weekend and did real well. |
| 01:41.04 | solar | prpplague: get the atmega48 soldered up today? |
| 01:45.41 | prpplague | solar yea, didn't have time to do any testing |

| 02:40.35 | solar | prpplague: testing now. |
| 02:41.48 | prpplague | wmat yea, the big businesses are struggling to get "withit" on opensource dev |
| 02:42.01 | prpplague | solar curious if that hack works |
| 02:43.02 | solar | prpplague: looks like SOS prints /W//S//W/ |
| 02:44.58 | solar | no tones either. |
| 02:45.25 | prpplague | hmm that is so weird, there must be something that is different about the avr build |
| 02:45.37 | prpplague | i'll have to finish with my atmega48 and test it |
| 02:45.57 | prpplague | solar sorry for the inconvience, that code works fine in standard c/c++ environments |
| 02:46.02 | prpplague | so i'm not sure that the issue is |
| 02:46.38 | prpplague | solar what about some other keys such as ABA |
| 02:48.35 | prpplague | solar its got to be something in the way the matrix is being selected |
| 02:49.04 | prpplague | solar can you add a Serial.print(matrix[localcode]); after the DoXmit ? |

| 02:59.58 | solar | if more info helps |
| 03:02.56 | prpplague | yep that helps |
| 03:07.06 | prpplague | solar one more quick test if you have time, can you change the Serial.print(matrix[localcode]) to just Serial.print(localcode) and re run the test with the same sequence? |

| 16:19.50 | solar | "have you ever seen Office Space" is one of our interview questions for new hires |
| 16:20.05 | MothaWork | you're just feeding it via the wall wart charge connector, right? |
| 16:20.18 | MothaWork | we ask favorite office space scene, and "emacs or vi?" |

| 16:21.25 | g1powermac | MothaWork, my answers, the scene where they're trashing the fax machine/printer, and vi :-) |
| 16:21.31 | MothaWork | I think we had one person who answered the latter with "notepad" |
| 16:21.40 | solar | MothaWork: not directly. Panel-> +5V regulated power (at the 66% loss) -> USB host connector. cell plugs into that. |
| 16:21.48 | g1powermac | though really nano is my ultimate preferred editor |
| 16:21.51 | MothaWork | solar: still, that should not allow backfeeding |
| 16:22.49 | prpplague | solar: hmm, sounds like there might be something else going on, the cell phone is using a mini/micro usb connector? |
| 16:23.02 | solar | li-on batterys tend to want a smater charger perhaps? |
| 16:23.18 | solar | prpplague: yes mini on one side. (it's a cellphone) |
| 16:23.43 | prpplague | solar: the other end of the cable is a standard usb connector like you would use on your pc? |
| 16:24.00 | prpplague | solar: li-ion generally require a smart charger |
| 16:24.10 | solar | yes. It shows it's charging even. lights come on. Led on my little charger stays lit etc. |
| 16:24.13 | prpplague | solar: but depending on the make/model, that might be included inside the device |
| 16:24.44 | prpplague | solar: yea, that means that the current output from the solar panel isn't meeting the charge requirements |
| 16:24.49 | prpplague | solar: need to check the current |
| 16:26.24 | solar | 5.04V @ 23.5mA |
| 16:26.36 | solar | lets try this with that switching one. |
| 16:27.41 | prpplague | solar: how did you measure that? |
| 16:28.36 | prpplague | solar: might have to do yourself a pump-charge circuit to get the current up to 100mA |

| 16:33.02 | solar | of the panels with the two diff power regulators |
| 16:33.09 | prpplague | solar: you have to break the circuit and place the multimeter inbetween the lines |
| 16:34.02 | prpplague | solar: the current needs to pass thru the multimeter to get an accurate reading |
| 16:34.11 | solar | yep. |
| 16:34.33 | prpplague | solar: thats how you did it ? |
| 16:34.51 | prpplague | solar: i.e. the drawing |
| 16:35.02 | solar | prpplague: pretty sure this is exactly what I'm doing. But's I was not measuring the cell's draw. |

| 16:35.32 | solar | oh yeah? |
| 16:35.33 | prpplague | solar: yea, hook it up like you were going to charge |
| 16:35.55 | prpplague | solar: then break the + line to the phone, and place the multimeter between the break |
| 16:36.07 | prpplague | solar: that will should the direction and size of current |
| 16:36.36 | prpplague | solar: yea when using the pgm storage you have to use a command to retrieve the value from flas |

| 17:56.58 | solar | well here is the mostly final revision. http://dev.gentoo.org/~solar/embedded/arduino/Morse.c |
| 17:57.44 | solar | not a big fan of the CamelCase.. But that seems to be what they do alot of in the cpp world |
| 17:58.32 | RobotGuy | solar: I see a lot of that too. I prefer to separate words with "_" |
| 18:01.35 | kergoth`work | huh, waf seems like it's improved since i looked at it last, wonder if its worth using yet |
| 18:01.41 | g1powermac | is bad with that. . .I tend to mix both styles in my code |
| 18:02.13 | MothaWork | urspsdtocrmtaltgthrlkunxds |
| 18:02.19 | g1powermac | usually use one style for variables and one for functions |
| 18:02.20 | MothaWork | that's how you name a function |
| 18:02.27 | g1powermac | hah |
| 18:02.42 | MothaWork | the scary thing is that, with a little context, that's readable |
| 18:03.44 | adyer | Knuth has literate programming, I have the opposite :-) |

| 18:03.58 | chouimat|work | <PROTECTED> |
| 18:04.04 | chouimat|work | g1powermac: hey ... |
| 18:04.25 | kergoth`work | usually doesnt care about format, as long as its consistent. the only one he doesnt care for is that stupid ass inclusion of type in the variable name style, always forget the name |
| 18:04.34 | RobotGuy | I should be working on my Python. |
| 18:04.53 | g1powermac | chouimat|work, hahah, thats hilarious |
| 18:04.54 | chouimat|work | kergoth`work: hi and btw you will love the link I posted ;) |
| 18:05.15 | kergoth`work | yow |
| 18:05.17 | RobotGuy | I found a couple of promising editors written in Python. |
| 18:05.18 | kergoth`work | hahah |
| 18:06.50 | RobotGuy | Funny! |
| 18:08.06 | kergoth`work | http://waf.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/demos/cxx/wscript not too terrible.. though if you're going to use a dsl, python or ruby seem a bit hefty for that, would rather see something lua based, personally |
| 18:09.34 | MothaWork | I love lua |
| 18:09.43 | MothaWork | easily embedded and not hard to deal with for non-programmers |
| 18:09.47 | MothaWork | it's TCL but better |
| 18:12.03 | RobotGuy | kergoth`work: Some of us are attempting to create a new IDE for Arduino. |
| 18:12.23 | kergoth`work | from scratch, or based on an existing ide? |
| 18:12.37 | chouimat|work | kergoth`work:waf was one of the tools looked for kde4 buildsystem ... |
| 18:12.45 | kergoth`work | chouimat|work: yeah, i remember that |
| 18:12.54 | kergoth`work | what did they end up going with? |
| 18:12.59 | chouimat|work | kergoth`work: cmake |
| 18:13.00 | *** join/#edev Ei5GTB (n=Paul@A-78-200.cust.iol.ie) |
| 18:13.27 | kergoth`work | not a big cmake fan, but at least its easier for people to grasp than autotools |
| 18:13.33 | RobotGuy | kergoth`work: My preference is to start from an existing codebase. |
| 18:13.53 | chouimat|work | because the company was interested in helping in the conversion and fix any problems that a project the size of kde might have with it |
| 18:14.44 | chouimat|work | kergoth`work: and the speed improvement in the compile time is amazing ... |
| 18:32.03 | prpplague | uh oh, all hands meeting |
| 18:32.18 | RobotGuy | UH OH. |
| 18:32.29 | RobotGuy | crosses fingers and toes |
| 18:32.34 | g1powermac | that ain't good |
| 18:33.20 | g1powermac | we've had to do a few of those ourselves |
| 18:33.36 | kergoth`work | chouimat|work: what always bugs me about libtool especially, but sometimes other autoconf use, is the way it tests for a shitload of stuff that the app never actually uses, or if it does, never actually uses the config variable to change the way it behaves. the fact that autoconf checks for ap roblem isn't going to help portability if the developer doesn't use that information.. |
| 18:34.35 | RobotGuy | That's bugged me too. WHY does it check for ADA if I am not using ADA? |
| 18:35.33 | chouimat|work | believe me you don't want to know :) |
| 18:36.14 | chouimat|work | kergoth`work: and it's not true that people understand autotools ... they just take a few files close enough to what they want and hack them until it work ;) |
| 18:36.19 | kergoth`work | it has to do with m4's limitations, specifically with regard to inter-macro dependency |
| 18:36.25 | kergoth`work | chouimat|work: yeah, true. that's the problem |

| 18:38.02 | MothaWork | heh, I had some build that got utterly confused until I totally uninstalled my cross fortran compiler |
| 18:38.15 | chouimat|work | MothaWork: cool |
| 18:38.35 | MothaWork | I found it utterly retarded |
| 18:39.15 | kergoth`work | MothaWork: hahah |
| 18:39.18 | kergoth`work | that's sad |
| 18:42.55 | MothaWork | kergoth`work: yeah. As in it wouldn't build (linker broke) if it detected that gfortran was installed. Uninstalling it made it build just fine. |

| 20:29.49 | solar | all hands was good/bad/ughhh ? |
| 20:29.51 | prpplague | hehe, it was just like an episode of "Survivor" today |
| 20:30.23 | prpplague | everyone was getting grilled about the project, and everyone point at the EE |
| 20:30.48 | solar | better to fire one vs all |
| 20:30.51 | prpplague | felt kind of sorry for the guy, can't be easy have a room full engineers point at you |
| 20:31.14 | prpplague | i suspect he will be gone soon |
| 20:37.39 | chouimat|work | prpplague: wb |
| 20:38.34 | RobotGuy | Maybe this will make things better if it does happen. |
| 20:38.48 | RobotGuy | It's always difficult being on the hot seat. |
| 20:44.24 | kergoth`work | prpplague: thinking, for oe, about having a few pieces. to start will be a system for managing user configuration to apply to builds, like oe's local.conf, but more flexible and namespaced. then a project source / metadata management system / repositories for community content, perhaps apt-like, and then a simple build tool that applies the user configuration to the metadata for that source (either in the repository, or a flatfile in a local direct |
| 20:44.24 | kergoth`work | ory) to do a build and produce artifacts (with tracing of input & output for auditing), and finally a scalable job scheduling system, for executing of that build tool, test tools, code coverage tools, whatever, either scheduled or continuous, with good dependency management and support for distribution across build farms |

| 20:46.45 | prpplague | kergoth`work sounds pretty good so far |
| 20:47.04 | prpplague | kergoth`work one feature i'd like to see with respect to an OE like system |
| 20:47.22 | prpplague | kergoth`work is to be able to build just the toolchain in very short order |
| 20:47.38 | kergoth`work | oe can do that today. |
| 20:48.11 | prpplague | kergoth`work oh yea? |
| 20:48.23 | kergoth`work | bitbake virtual/arm-linux-gcc. or better yet, just use one of the sdk tasks |
| 20:48.39 | prpplague | kergoth`work ah-ha , didn't know that |
| 20:49.06 | prpplague | i assume poky has a similiar feature |
| 20:49.21 | kergoth`work | poky uses oe metadata. |
| 20:49.29 | kergoth`work | the toolchain stuff hasnt been changed, as far as i know |
| 20:49.40 | prpplague | ahh i'll have to give that a try next week |
| 20:50.18 | prpplague | solar you posted your morse code yet? |
| 20:51.12 | prpplague | kergoth`work you'll have to forgive me, i still don't know a large amount about using OE on a daily basis |
| 20:51.54 | prpplague | kergoth`work the thing i have trouble with is that during the build, package x is built, but i have trouble finding out what packages actually need that to be built |
| 20:52.23 | kergoth`work | it's a dependency tree. you can even ask bitbake to emit a graph of them |
| 20:53.02 | kergoth`work | http://bitbake.berlios.de/manual/ch04s02.html#id870264 |
| 20:53.11 | solar | prpplague: http://dev.gentoo.org/~solar/embedded/arduino/Morse.c |
| 20:53.31 | prpplague | yea, i have seen that but i was thinking more in the lines of when you use the rpm utils it spits out a very basic list |
| 20:53.36 | solar | hacked it up a bit more. made the tones part optional |
| 20:53.45 | prpplague | ahh cool |
| 20:53.57 | prpplague | i have to go, time to take the critters to get their eyes checked |
| 20:54.37 | prpplague | kergoth`work sounds good so far, keep me up to date, i'd like to test early revs to see how we can make it better for early bringup stuff |
| 20:55.24 | prpplague | solar cool looks to save alot of space |
| 20:55.33 | prpplague | goes |
| 21:06.49 | solar | I can save more |
