Lucas_Good morning05:06
Lucas_I finally have enough money for magnets!05:12
archelsfuck yeah magnets.05:14
Lucas_:D05:14
Lucas_now I just have to figure out where I want them.  I don't want to get the implant and find out I'd never be able to do parkour again05:15
archelsDo I recall this being part of some grander scheme, to have modular sensory extensions or somesuch?05:17
archelsOr was that someone else.05:18
Lucas_we are a part of the same group05:20
Lucas_but for now I just want to test out "magnetic sensing" to see if it is bunk or not05:20
archelsIt's not bunk, but one might say it's not very useful either.05:26
Lucas_Is the range too small?05:26
archelsWell, you can't feel e.g. the earth's magnetic field.05:26
archelsYou'll get some vibrations walking through those security gates in stores.05:27
archelsAlso holding your hand near transformers and electric motors.05:27
Lucas_please correct me if I am wrong, but don't magnets produce a current in the presence of a magnetic field?05:31
archelsA changing magnetic field induces a current in a suitably oriented conductor.05:31
Lucas_and I am guessing the conductor would have to be fairly big05:41
archelsWhat are you getting at?05:43
archelsYou don't sense magnetism through induced current. The implanted magnet just wiggles a bit, which you can physically feel.05:44
Lucas_I was thinking about alternate was to sense magnetism.  Our nervous system operates via electric signals, I was thinking that instead of using haptic sensors (like magnets) you can have a conductor that does the same thing, but is more acute.05:46
Lucas_just an idea05:46
archelsyah, you're right though, you'd need a relatively very large conductor.05:48
archelsIncidentally my smart watch (in development) will have magnetic sensors with a wide dynamic range. :)05:49
Lucas_How much are you selling it for?05:53
archelsRight now I'm just moving towards a prototype; I can worry about production later.05:54
Lucas_tell me when you are done, I want to buy05:54
archelsI should put up a page somewhere with specs and photos... input is three buttons, a (scroll)wheel and touchscreen, connectivity via Zigbee, intuitive user interface, 128x64 daylight readable/backlit display, 16 MHz 8-bit atmega128 CPU, sensors include compass, barometer, humidity, temperature for the first iteration; later on possibly accellerometers and magnetic field strength meter.05:56
archelsoh and spectral light sensor.05:56
archelsold demo: http://www.turingbirds.com/upload/watch_demo_2011-07-11.mp405:57
Lucas_Interesting.  I'd much rather have an integrated system, but this will suffice until something better than magnets comes along.06:02
archelsIntegrated with what?06:02
Lucas_Myself06:03
Lucas_biologically06:03
archelsoh, heh06:03
archelsWhen that comes along, just take my watch, eliminate the display, and you're done. ;)06:04
Lucas_:D06:04
archelsAny case, if you have any feature requests or tips, let me know.06:06
Lucas_will do06:09
