01:31:39 <T3sl4> oh hey it's back up

02:38:47 <K> hm, is there such thing as multi wire quick disconnect connectors - to quickly disconnect 2 wires at once?
02:50:56 <DHess_US> Disconnect from what? Inline? From a chassis or board?

02:55:06 <K> i have a narrow space, 4mm max height, and want to be able to connect and disconnect 2 wires
02:55:31 <K> could not find any regular wire-to-wire connectors that would fit
02:56:14 <K> to clarify - there is 4mm gap left when unit is assembled
02:57:01 <DHess_US> RC servos use tiny in-line connectors. Maybe check them out.
02:57:13 <K> can you hint a manufacturer?
02:57:34 <DHess_US> I don't know who makes them.
02:57:43 <DHess_US> Check a hobby shop.
02:57:58 <K> k
02:58:00 <K> thanks
02:59:40 <DHess_US> I've never been able to find them on Mouser.
03:06:04 <K> looking at XT60
03:06:37 <K> dang, those are 8mm
03:07:02 <K> https://eu.mouser.com/ProductDetail/SparkFun/PRT-10474?qs=sGAEpiMZZMuWWq7rhECaKSunTpixcCGmpKj1%2F8mC1Cs%3D
03:27:21 <Bluenote> Couple really, really tiny spade connectors maybe?
03:27:44 <Bluenote> I don't think I've ever seen a dual wire connector that small.
03:33:58 <K> yeah, looks like that
03:35:11 <K> 4mm is not a lot, i think i have to look how to increase that
03:42:01 <DHess_US> The RC servo connetors are smaller than that and work with many wires.
03:42:29 <DHess_US> They use a really tight friction fit.
03:43:00 <DHess_US> But I don't know who makes them.
03:43:07 <DHess_US> Or any good sources other than hobby shops.
03:45:07 <K> i found some referenced as Tamiya
03:45:15 <K> and then JST has RCY series
03:45:31 <K> that might fit actually

20:33:18 Join: Halcyon ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
20:33:20 <K> hello
20:33:22 <Halcyon> YAY! I'm home!
20:40:20 <Ampera> Hi Halcyon
20:40:21 <Ampera> how do
20:40:43 <Halcyon> Great thanks, now that I'm finally home.
20:40:44 <Halcyon> How about you?
20:41:00 <Ampera> eh
20:41:24 <Ampera> I wish it were a bit earlier, so that I'd have a better chance of catching some actual sleep.
20:41:30 <Ampera> I currently have 45 minutes of it
20:43:02 Quit: DogWomble ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
20:43:44 <Halcyon> :(
20:43:51 <Ampera> anyways how were your classes
20:44:55 <Halcyon> Very interesting
20:45:10 <Halcyon> I got asked yesterday if I want to teach a few of the subjects as a subject matter expert
20:45:15 <Halcyon> (Paid by the uni)
20:45:31 <Ampera> That's a good sign
20:46:21 <Halcyon> Highly unusual though; teaching a subject which I haven't taken myself yet, for a course that I'm enrolled in as a student.
20:46:46 <Halcyon> I sent in my resume and they offered me $1200 for a week + $50/hour teaching
20:47:32 <Ampera> for how long
20:47:36 <Ampera> entire semester?
20:47:48 <Halcyon> They want me for 5 days initially
20:47:56 <Halcyon> It's about all I can give them this semester due to work
20:48:10 <Halcyon> They face-to-face modes are only for a week at a time
20:48:10 <Ampera> Was about to say, I presume that wouldn't mesh well with your current job
20:48:14 <Halcyon> It's not a full-time course
20:48:32 <Ampera> how long are the days?
20:49:11 <Halcyon> 0900-1600
20:49:32 <Ampera> 7x50x5 = 1750 + 1200 = pretty damn good
20:49:43 <Halcyon> Indeed
20:49:55 <Halcyon> Anyway I'm going to go make some dinner, I'm hungry
20:50:06 <Ampera> mmm, I had some chicken earlier
20:50:08 <Halcyon> Nom
20:50:14 <Halcyon> I'll be back soon
21:02:47 <Ampera> I think I might take a look at Discord bots.
21:04:32 Join: DogWomble ([email protected]) to #EEVblog

22:14:36 Quit: DiscordTest ([email protected]) Connection closed
22:23:14 <Halcyon> yay
22:23:30 <Ampera> I am very close to implementing a Discord/IRC link
22:23:35 <Halcyon> Awesome
22:24:24 <Ampera> It should hopefully allow for a near seamless communication experience, with Discord users showing up as seperate users on the IRC channel, although not vice-versa
22:24:44 <Halcyon> I think that would be OK ?
22:24:52 <Halcyon> As long as it doesn't flood your discord room?
22:25:16 <Ampera> I'd be more worried about hitting a connection limit with AustNet.
22:25:28 <Ampera> If I implement this for real, I'd want to get an OK from damian
22:25:40 <Ampera> this is also being tested on the mothballed EEVBlog Discord
22:33:18 <Halcyon> Yeh would need to discuss with him
22:33:30 <Halcyon> Actually... *pokes* Damian
22:33:36 <Halcyon> I had another question for him
22:33:43 <Halcyon> or *pokes* ibiza
22:33:59 <Ampera> just out of curiosity, what is the question
22:34:21 <Halcyon> I wanted to know what the open port exemption is/does
22:34:44 <Halcyon> It could be relevant to you ?
22:34:48 <Halcyon> https://www.austnet.org/openport.php
22:37:12 <Ampera> that might be what it is, but the issue is I'd need to provide a domain instead of an IP, because Dynamic IPs are things that exist
22:37:34 <Halcyon> *nod*
22:38:02 <Ampera> I'm thinking I'd be willing to give this bot to AustNet, if I get to use it in here, since I believe they've been trying this thing.
22:38:23 <Ampera> It's just now that I've had the impulse to make it.
22:38:50 <Halcyon> I think it was on their roadmap, albeit not a high priority. But yeh, absolutely, chat to damian about it. Sounds like you've made more progress with it
22:39:39 <Ampera> I'm actually close to a vaguely complete form
22:39:47 <Ampera> at least ready for an initial test in maybe 20 minutes

23:35:47 <Ampera> The bot now works in two directions, and /should/ be completely functional at a base
23:36:42 <Ampera> There's some polish I need to add, like changing permissions for entry and exit, checking if the IRC end is up before allowing chat, etc.
