| 01:07.32 | ChoHag | Parallel port? |
| 06:33.38 | morsing | ChoHag: Possibly |
| 06:34.00 | morsing | Not entirely sure PCs still have them though |
| 06:34.42 | morsing | "Today, the parallel port interface is virtually non-existent because of the rise of Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices, along with network printing using Ethernet and Wi-Fi connected printers." |
| 06:35.38 | yaMatt | I'm struggling to find a USB -> GPIO device |
| 06:35.41 | yaMatt | I can ask people |
| 06:36.17 | yaMatt | but when a Pi is £25 and a Arduino is £10-20, it definitely seems like that's your best option |
| 08:07.39 | morsing | Hmm... Ok |
| 08:08.05 | morsing | Or a COmmodore 64. How many I/O pins does a Pie have? |
| 08:24.02 | wethrin | 17 GPIO pins |
| 08:24.33 | wethrin | It's a 26 pin connector, but some of the pins are power and ground |
| 08:25.01 | yaMatt | there's I2C and other bits in there too |
| 08:31.23 | wethrin | An Arduino Mega has 54 digital IO pins, and 16 analogue inputs |
| 08:33.09 | wethrin | Or, apparently Genuino outside the USA. For some reason. |
| 08:37.26 | wethrin | I want to do cool things with a Pi or Arduino. But I have no idea what to do |
| 08:39.08 | morsing | Oh, cool |
| 08:39.41 | morsing | I need to control our archeic british hot water system properly |
| 08:40.05 | yaMatt | oh the name change is some licensing BS that went mad, I think they kissed and made up now, but it'll take time for the resellers to change everything back |
| 08:41.01 | wethrin | Ah right |
| 08:41.14 | wethrin | morsing: Update your hot water system :) |
| 08:42.08 | morsing | wethrin: Can't be done |
| 08:42.36 | morsing | wethrin: Did you watch the video I pasted? |
| 08:44.05 | wethrin | Why can't it be done? |
| 08:44.11 | wethrin | Combi boilers are easy enough to install |
| 08:44.14 | wethrin | What video? |
| 08:44.31 | morsing | wethrin: https://youtu.be/0GmY_UrbXnA |
| 08:44.34 | morsing | So cool... |
| 08:45.00 | wethrin | It's on a browser tab. So Ill watch it in abit |
| 08:45.03 | morsing | http://uk.farnell.com/arduino-org/a000067/arduino-mega2560-rev3-board/dp/2212779?CMP=KNC-GUK-GEN-SHOPPING&gross_price=true&mckv=YO18ZYDl_dc|pcrid|78108376509|&gclid=CLKf9rimyM8CFYYV0wodRWsFeA&CAWELAID=120173390000367976&CAAGID=14406255429&CATCI=pla-41477300408&CAGPSPN=pla |
| 08:45.07 | morsing | Ok |
| 08:45.54 | wethrin | Yep |
| 10:09.24 | ChoHag | wethrin: I just installed an entire water system |
| 10:09.26 | ChoHag | It's easy. |
| 10:12.33 | ChoHag | s/wethrin/morsing/ |
| 12:09.04 | ChoHag | I bought one of those FreedomTM-loving laptops. |
| 12:09.12 | ChoHag | It came with a crack in it and a missing screw. |
| 12:10.24 | ChoHag | Maybe I can fix it with the stickers they sent? |
| 12:28.52 | yaMatt | they're refurbed aren't they? Shame it's of low quality |
| 12:44.28 | ChoHag | Well I was happy to put up with the scratch in the back of the screen but a crack and the case doesn't stick together is a bit too far. |
| 12:47.05 | yaMatt | will they replace it? |
| 12:48.07 | ChoHag | I emailed. We'll see. |
