fenni need to get better at following my own advice08:09
CryptoQuickfenn: did you break it08:12
fennnaw, just backtracked for a half hour08:12
CryptoQuickyou lost an entire half hour of your life!? shoot, you could have just watched dancing with the stars08:13
archelsI think that would have meant the demise of countless more neurons.08:15
CryptoQuickarchels: most people over 30 years old will probably not understand Looxcie, much less buy it08:15
CryptoQuickbut those of the Facebook generation will probably see this as the mark of ascension to a higher plane of social media08:15

fennit's trivial08:52
fennall off the shelf technology08:52
kanzurewell yeah, except nobody has done it :P08:53
fennhm it's only half vga and five hours storage? that's awful08:53
archelsCryptoQuick: Yeah, but what applications are you envisioning?08:53
CryptoQuickarchels: I just want to be able to have a camera that's always getting what I'm looking at, in case something cool happens in an instant. Besides, it's always an interruption to get my phone out to get a photo of something. This would be great.08:55

fenni am NOT building a makerbot09:21
fenni'm sick of this shit09:22
fennit's the most awful design ever09:22
fennrawr09:22
fennit's like they tried to make it hard09:22
* ybit howls along with fenn's rawring09:22
kanzurewhat are you building09:22
archelsThe new RepRap seemed to have a pretty optimised and well thought-out design maybe half a year ago.09:22
fenna mini mendel09:22
CryptoQuickwhat's it called? huxley?09:22
CryptoQuickI liked the Atlas design better09:23
CryptoQuickit was... bigger :D09:23
fennneed more general knowhow with heated chambers for that to matter09:24
kanzurehumanityplus.org is asking around for a new layout/theme (wordperss theme.. but i can convert if necessary)09:24
archelsfenn: Does it look like this? http://reprap.org/mediawiki/images/5/59/Big_huxley.jpg09:26
archels(generally speaking)09:26
fennyeah but i dunno why that's labeled huxley09:27
fennoh it was renamed? what a sucky name09:27
archelsAlright, that's the design I'm referring to. Do you have the hardware all set up?09:27
fennit moves around and stuff, but the electronics havent even been ordered09:29
fennwho's the asshole who decided to rename something and then not fix any of the links09:31
CryptoQuickI appreciated the reprapped PCBs09:31

kanzuregood thing you never looked at the repos :P09:32

kanzureno follow through?09:34
kanzuretimschmidt: ping09:34
fennwhy are the pololu's tilted?09:35
CryptoQuickfenn: so that the fan can get better coverage over, I believe those are mosfets09:36
fenn"slight angle to make it easier to get a screwdriver in to adjust their current-setting pots"09:36
CryptoQuicklol09:36
CryptoQuickwell, shoot, I always figured it had more function than that09:37
CryptoQuickbut hey, being able to tune your pots is a good function also :)09:38
fenni like peer's version of the pololu electronics.. single sided, everything snaps onto the arduino09:40
fennnot sure why everybody tilts them sideways like that09:41
fenner, ian england, not peer09:43

timschmidtkanzure:pong10:57
kanzurefenn is complaining about stuff that you could probably help with10:58
timschmidtorly?11:10
timschmidtah, yes, I can provide a guiding hand through the jungle that is reprap11:12
timschmidtmy mendel(s) are reproducing rapidly11:12
timschmidtand I agree wholeheartedly about the repos11:14
timschmidtit's a culture problem11:14
timschmidtThe lead folks in the project are not developers11:14
timschmidtand don't care for development11:14
timschmidtand it shows11:14
kanzuretimschmidt: so let's fork it11:15
timschmidtfortunately, reprap-dev mailing list is now open to the public11:15
timschmidtSo we just need more participation11:16
timschmidtmore sane voices11:16
kanzurei was very surprised to see submodules (subcomponents) copied all over the place11:16
kanzureit'd be like emacs including libc6 or something11:16
timschmidtright11:16
timschmidtridiculous11:16
kanzurebut, there are some open questions as to how to actually do 'er right11:16
kanzurewould you just put some notes in a documentation file saying "see this other project here for your extruder"11:17
kanzure(and then make the extruder project a dependency or something)11:17
timschmidtNo, I think extruders can be included...  I'd do that for electronics though11:18
timschmidtand I'd lump electronics and firmware into the same repo11:18
kanzurefirmware can change though11:19
kanzurei mean, uh11:19
timschmidtsure, but when hardware changes, firmware often has to change with it11:19
kanzureisn't the idea that you have a stable release of the electronics, and then the firmware can be developed for that version11:19
kanzureand the firmware can be developed for whatever later revisions of the electronics too11:19
timschmidtwell that would be nice11:19
kanzureit just makes sense to me..11:20
kanzurei guess it depends on the cycle11:20
kanzuredevelopment cycle i mean11:20
kanzuredo we have people still using ancient electronics :P11:20
kanzureor do people regularly build the new stuff11:20
timschmidtright now, much of the core dev team is opposed to the concept of versioned releases11:20
timschmidtinsanity11:20
kanzure(also setting up a proper deprecation schedule would be hawt)11:20
kanzurewell think about it11:20
kanzureeven if they weren't against it, how would they do it11:21
kanzuretechnically something like this hasn't been done before in the world of open source11:21
timschmidteasy enough11:21
timschmidtyes it has11:21
kanzurein the CAD world, you have PDM systems or whatever defining versions and releases and stuff like that11:21
timschmidtI keep telling the rest of the devs this11:21
kanzurein an open source project?11:21
kanzuremay i see11:21
timschmidt"we are not special"11:21
kanzurei've been craving a properly done hardware/electronics project that is properly versioned, has releases, separated repos, deprecation schedules, etc.11:22
kanzureso if you have a link :D11:22
timschmidtWe have 95% of the cad work in OpenSCAD (and I'm excited about lolcad BTW), so that's just software, that's easy to diff and merge, and release stable versions of11:22
kanzurelolcad11:22
kanzureso anyway.. can you show me a community around an open source hardware project that meets those criteria11:22
kanzurebecause i really do think this is new, in terms of open source hardware11:22
timschmidtyeah, I think so11:23
kanzureand these guys aren't professional engineers so they don't have experience in the field with "how it feels when it works right"11:23
kanzureto be blunt, adrian is a scholar and they tend to slap up stuff that "works" and be done with it11:23
timschmidtI'm not sure about deprecation schedules, but proper versioning, sure11:23
kanzureliiinks11:23
timschmidtAgreed11:23
* timschmidt is thinking11:24
kanzureanyway.. uh11:24
JayDuggerFenn: I'll look through the logs and check out your photostream before I ask any (possibly foolish) questions.11:24
kanzurere: lolcad, i was working on a visualization front-end for it11:25
timschmidtexcellent11:25
kanzurebut then i remembered i suck at opengl/gui interfacing, so i just left that dangling11:25
kanzureit can visualize simple nurb objects, but it's not related to the STEP exporting (which is the primary function)11:25
timschmidtOne of the things I don't want to leave behind with OpenSCAD is the quick and easy workflow11:25
kanzurewell, the lolcad workflow is: open up a python interpreter, type out spheres and cubes and other wacky shit, and see it in an opengl portview11:25
kanzurethen type step_export(my_model, "filename.stp")11:26
timschmidtthat's fine11:26
kanzure(or just save the .py script, blah blah blah)11:26
timschmidtright11:26
kanzurei am not sure if i should do my own tessellation algorithm or use something that tessellates STEP models11:26
kanzureor just let the end users figure out how they want to convert it to STL11:26
timschmidtI don't mind that the editor is separate (in fact, it's an advantage)...  but having a 3D view of the part that is easy to periodically refresh is critical11:27
kanzureit refreshes immediately on each change11:27
kanzure(since it's an interactive interpreter)11:27
kanzuregit://diyhpl.us/lolcad.git11:27
kanzuregranted, the interactive demo isn't working yet :P so don't go looking for it11:27
timschmidtI would like it to have at least a simple tesselation algo built in.  It doesn't have to be anywhere near perfect (see: OpenSCAD), but something that lets me get a 'good enough' STL without having to fire up Blender would be nice11:27
kanzureone option for that is to include a pythonOCC script, but OCC is a huuuge dependency11:28
kanzurei should just roll my own11:28

kanzurealso you don't have to do weird tricks just to get a variable or conditional statement11:31
kanzure(wtf)11:31
timschmidtright11:31
timschmidtThere's been some discussion about possibly going this route with future OpenSCAD on the mailing list...  have you posted about your code there?11:32
kanzureso my todo list is (1) visualizer, (2) testing of the STEP exporter (standards compliance and whatnot), (3) simple tessellator, (4) more advanced surface manipulation routines (like blends, chamfers, stuff)11:32
kanzurehuh i'm subscribed to the openscad list but i haven't seen those discussions11:32
timschmidtnothing major, just some talk about whether or not to switch to an existing language (python was mentioned) or stick it out with the current interpreter11:40
JayDuggerAh, log reading reminds me.11:55

kanzurehttp://www.openhardwaresummit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5012:11
kanzure"During the conference discussion of the open hw definition with its many points of contention, I was left wondering if starting by writing the criterea for licenses is going about things backwards."12:11
kanzure"Would it perhaps be better to approach the problem by drafting some prototype licenses of different flavors, trying them out (thought experiment or small projects) and only then writing the open hw definition based on lessons learned?"12:11
kanzure"Essentially, after the point was repeatedly made that open source hardware is about the unexpected applications a community will invent in contrast to the limited visions of top down design, in a way starting with a qualifications standards for licenses has an ironic bit of top down ring to it."12:11
JayDuggerA sudden attack of sense, that.12:12

JayDuggerkanzure, do you know if anyone called Foresight Institute and asked about consulting done to establish the current prize criteria?12:37
JayDuggerOkay, so other than running diction and style over the text, I'm done.12:37

kanzure"For example, a subject might move the mouse to the right, and 150 msec later, the movement registers on screen. Our findings show two striking results: first, participants playing the game quickly come to feel as though there is less delay between their mouse movement14:05
kanzureand the sensory feedback, and second, when we suddenly remove the delay, it feels as though the effect on the screen happened just before they commanded it."14:05
kanzureMotor-sensory recalibration leads to an illusory reversal of action and sensation http://www.eaglemanlab.net/papers/StetsonetalNeuron2006.pdf14:05
kanzure"Many people report that time appears to run in slow motion when they find themselves in an impending car accident -- for example, sliding toward a bad situation."14:06
kanzurewhat??14:06
kanzure"Crudely speaking, are neural 'snapshots' clicking faster during a high-adrenaline situation? To bring this into the realm of scientific study, we have measured time perception during free-fall by strapping palm-top computers to their wrists and having them perform psychophysical experiments as they fall."14:06

jrayhawkWhen climbing a tree as a child, a branch broke from under me and I was able to assess several potential courses of action in fall that followed in what seemed like slow motion.16:09
jrayhawkIt was *very* fast onset, though. Not sure if adrenaline would be able to do that.16:09
