katsmeow-afkybit, compare the power input on a good growlbox to that of a microwave oven transformer00:33
katsmeow-afkmy gowlbox kicks a 30amp 240v breaker when doing serious welding , you can't put that much into a nukebox xformer00:34
katsmeow-afkhe talks about 1/16 rods, 3/32 rods, and 1/8 rods , i burn thru at least 100lbs of 1/8 rod every year, but never as much as 5lbs of 3/32, and i never use 1/16 rod00:43
katsmeow-afkand 60xx rod is crap, do not trust your life to 6013 or 6011 rod00:43
katsmeow-afki use 7018 exclusively00:44
katsmeow-afkdc is best00:46
katsmeow-afki used 600v 300amp low-drop diodes, i seldom go over 120amps00:47
ybitthanks katsmeow-afk, that will probably be useful to know when i start welding00:59

kanzurepython-graph?10:13
fennthen when i want to walk the chain of transformations from one part to another, i traverse the graph and apply trsf's at each node10:13

ncravensI'm watching some folk play with something called tent at #esp http://wiki.openkollab.com/wagn/Tent_Help 10:36
ncravensthe prompt: skdb-make robot-maid: failed: @#@#@$@SDL!!10:37
kanzurehey ncravens10:42
kanzureyeah fenn's working on that at the moment10:43
kanzurencravens: nice to see you in here10:44
ncravensits nice to see you out there too man. 10:45
kanzurewhat?10:45
ncravensyes.10:45
kanzureyou never show up in here, why is that?10:45
kanzurejust wondering. thought you'd want to be up to date on the latest and greatest versions.10:45
ncravensbecause , well, I got burnt on chatting years ago, but now I realize ... there's stuff worth chatting about now10:45
ncravenslatest and greatest versions of pink fluffy?!10:46
timschmidtHey guys, I've designed, and am starting to manufacture some Arduino clones with additional features (relays, power mosfets, temp and light sensors, and the like) for sale.  What would you like to see a purpose-built Arduino made to do?10:46
kanzureoh, you're selling them?10:46
kanzureyou didn't tell me that, tim10:46
timschmidtsorry10:47
timschmidtdidn't intend to not tell you.10:47
timschmidtdesigns will be FOSS, of course.10:47
timschmidtjust building and selling for those who can't themselves.10:47
timschmidtThe one I'm nearly done with is based on a clone that was licensed GPLv3, so it will be too.10:49
fenni'd like a $10 temperature logger with optional 7 segment display10:49
timschmidteasy enough10:50
ncravensso how's the Austin lab shaping up?10:55
kanzureit's moved to california10:56
kanzuretimschmidt: so, I think you should package up your kits into skdb10:57
kanzurethis is the exactly right scenario10:57
kanzurethey're GPL'd, you want to make some cash, and you need to get some more widespread knowledge of them, or something10:57
kanzureand even if you don't want to make them forever, still making a couple hundred or something would make you happy (right?)10:57
ncravenswhere in california? ;10:58
CIA-31skdb: fenn * r 27d6e13 /doc/todo/TODO: doo10:58
CIA-31skdb: fenn * r cd02214 / (geom/geom.py paths.py): now make_lego puts the brick in the scene such that interfaces[0] is at the origin and oriented along the Z axis10:58
kanzurethe coast10:58
kanzureLA possibly10:58
kanzurencravens: the austin fabratory is still ticking away10:58
kanzurehowever I might not stay here forever10:58
ncravenswhere you have in mind?10:59
fennby "ticking" you mean that cricket noise when nobody's there?10:59
timschmidtkanzure: first batch will be 100.  I would not be disappointed to make a few thousand.10:59
kanzureok, that's a lot of manual labor, but sure10:59
ncravenskanzure: fenn: I'd like to get your input on this: http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0ATsf-IaJ1pQxZGcyanpkZnRfMjc1aGN2YzdnZ2Q&hl=en10:59
kanzurelast I checked there was a few people over there11:00
kanzurencravens: if this is another openkollab thing, I'm going to puke11:00
ncravenshehehe11:00
kanzurei'm tired of you not listening11:00
kanzureso I'm putting my foot down.11:00
ncravensI'm listening. ;)11:00
fenni'm busy11:01
kanzuredid you see the skdb presentation, ncravens ?11:01
ncravenswhere?11:02
kanzurencravens: http://adl.serveftp.org/lab/presentations/updates-from-austin.pdf11:02
kanzuretimschmidt: there was a huge thread on diybio once about this11:03
kanzuretimschmidt: http://groups.google.com/group/diybio/browse_frm/thread/f283180392f16cdd/7362d9da4b8bffdf?#7362d9da4b8bffdf11:04
kanzureyou might get some ideas there for stuff that people want11:04
kanzureand have publicly admitted that they want :)11:04
timschmidtthanks11:08
ncravenskanzure: so what do you think of these espian folk?11:08
kanzurenot interested11:08
ncravenshave you talked to them about skdb? 11:20
kanzureI mentioned it in #openkollab, no one was interested11:24
ncravenshave you mentioned it to #esp? 11:28
ncravensslide 36 'Consideration: product as graph' reminds me of Minsky's model of AI.11:29
kanzureluckily this doesn't require ai11:30
ncravensfor the parts that require hand entry... ai would be nice?11:31

ncravensyour friend Sam Rose is having a chat with Suresh Fernando at #openkollab11:33
ncravenswhat does "f.s. c.f.g. d.a.m." on slide 36 mean? 11:35
ncravensWhat evoked the ANGRY?11:37
CIA-31skdb: fenn * r e386cbb /geom/geom.py: added skdb.Interface.get_transformation()11:53
CIA-31skdb: fenn * r 6f809f8 /paths.py: playing with get_transformation(); implemented make_arrow_to()11:53
kanzurencravens: "FS" means "function structure"12:01
kanzure"CFG" means "Configuration Flow Graph"12:01
kanzure"DAM" means something about a matrix regarding assembly of a part12:01
kanzurehonestly that slide was thrown in from the lab professor12:01
kanzureit's not really as useful as you might think it sounds :p12:01
ncravensahh... ic12:01
ncravensI just saw nodes and links from what appeared to be baser or simple objects below creating higher level stuff; just applying a similar pattern Marvin Minsky used for AI... am I close?12:03
kanzureno, the graphs have nodes which represent parts and the edges represent connections between parts12:03
kanzurehowever, the lab's format for this is not developed- there's some software that uses it, but it's too generic and not useful for engineering12:04
kanzure(it's for "conceptual" design)12:04
ncravenswhich means?12:06
kanzurethat the computer can't use the information to do anything useful... so don't confuse it with skdb.12:06
CIA-31skdb: fenn * r db2d712 / (geom/geom.py unittests/test_geom.py): add Point((1,2,3))12:23

fennit's almost worse when it works unexpectedly14:07
kanzureok got it14:34
kanzuremy string was wrong on the pythonocc notes for environment.py fixage14:34
kanzuredebian users may need to make a correction in environment.py related to /usr/include to /usr/include/opencascade (search for the part in environment.py that says “Fill in this part with your own settings”) 14:34
