00:28:36 Join: Nothing\ ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
00:28:42 <Nothing\> hello chief, let's talk why not
00:28:42 <EEVBlog> Hello there, Nothing\!
00:28:56 <Nothing\> greetings, robut
00:30:06 <K> darn robuts, stealing our jerbs!
00:30:44 <Nothing\> hey k, hgow goes it
00:30:54 <Nothing\> also, dey tuk er joerbs!
00:31:25 <Nothing\> lol they actually had a strain of cannabis at the dispensary yesterday called member berry
00:33:15 <Nothing\> i'm trying my hand at making one of these VCOs in the applications in the TI datasheet for the LM358, i want to try to make a PLL out of discrete parts, though i get the feeling it's not going to work terribly well
00:33:34 <Ampera> hullo Nothing\
00:33:47 <Nothing\> hey Ampera how'd i know you'd be here? :P
00:34:03 <Ampera> because I'm always here because I have no life because I hate myself
00:34:11 <Nothing\> d'awww the squirrel's at the window begging for food, putting his paw up on it and flashing me puppy dog eyes
00:34:25 <Nothing\> do you have no life because you hate yourself, or do you hate yourself because you have no life?
00:34:38 <Nothing\> i think i started off as the former, but it evolved to the latter
00:34:51 <Nothing\> and relaly it just becomes a feedback loop after a point
00:35:08 * steve30 has felt crap all day
00:35:17 * steve30 hugs Ampera

00:35:28 <Ampera> Nothing\, both
00:35:30 * Ampera hugs steve30
00:35:39 <Nothing\> haha awesome, i just finally got one of the squirrels to eat out of my hand
00:35:40 <K> squirel w puppy eyes in paw?
00:36:07 <Nothing\> it's weird cuz the chipmunks will come right up to me and eat out of my hands without a second thought, even thoug you'd think they would be a lot more skiddish than squirrels
00:36:42 <K> trash pandas?
00:36:51 <Nothing\> it's also funny cuz the chipmunks can fit 3 peanuts in their mouth at the same time, 1 in each cheek and one in their teeth, but the squirrels only manage 2 at a time
00:36:58 <Nothing\> lol trash pandas sounds like raccoons
00:37:02 <Nothing\> rakens
00:37:35 <K> them rakens steelin me rhubarbs!
00:37:40 <Nothing\> it's amazing how much wildlife there is in my backyard for being the middle of the city
00:37:46 <Nothing\> well, the edge of the city anyways
00:37:58 <Nothing\> i grew up here and aside from literally oodles of squirrels, i don't remember any other wildlife
00:38:25 <K> all i see are small flying rats, bigger flying rats and occasional cat
00:38:28 <Nothing\> it's crazy how much food they go through, if i don't pace them they'll go through a kilo of peanuts every 2 or 3 days
00:38:52 <K> they prolly have a stash
00:38:54 <Nothing\> we don't have a lot of pidgeons here, got a few downtown but pigeons were never something i saw a lot of
00:39:02 <Nothing\> that's what i figure
00:39:24 <K> put a transmitter in a peanut and find out!
00:39:26 <Nothing\> the chipmunk will just run back and forth grabbing nuts and i know he's not taking the time to eat them so he must be stashing them
00:40:22 <Nothing\> heh i watched a thing about declassified military projects last night and one of them was planning to turn a cat into basically a spying android, they had microphones in its ear, a transmitter in its chest, and an antenna that run up its tail
00:40:50 <Nothing\> it's a cute idea, in principle, not so much in practice
00:40:58 <Nothing\> just like the katzenklavier
00:42:29 <Nothing\> hrm this circuit calls for 51k resistors, i don't even think those exist
00:42:45 <Nothing\> now should i chance it just using 47k, or should i series them with 4.7ks
00:43:01 <K> E24 series has 51
00:43:19 <Nothing\> oh how about that
00:43:35 <K> 48.45kΩ - 53.55kΩ
00:43:47 <Nothing\> julian ilett did an interesting video about why resistors have the values they do and how 330 ohm resistors are the bastards of the bunch
00:43:56 <K> https://www.hobby-hour.com/electronics/e24-resistors.php
00:44:07 <K> yeah, there are some odd values
00:44:32 <Nothing\> ah that's a nifty table
00:44:35 <K> haven't had that as a problem ever though
00:44:48 <Nothing\> yeah i very rarely have an issue of not finding the right value
00:45:36 <Nothing\> huh it calls for 50k too
00:45:40 <Nothing\> what a bastard of a circuit
00:45:55 <K> does it specify tolerances?
00:46:09 <Nothing\> nah, it's just an application diagram from a datasheet
00:46:20 <Nothing\> the VCO circuit in TI's lm358 datasheet
00:46:31 <K> i doubt it is that critical
00:46:36 <Nothing\> they've actually got a lot of really useful circuits in this datasheet
00:47:22 <Nothing\> heh when i first got into electronics my attention span never lasted long enough to get to the applications section, so i didn't even know they existed for a while
01:03:28 <Nothing\> right, she's all together, here's hoping it works
01:04:26 <TMS> Hey guys any one know anything about tesla coils here?
01:04:28 <K> keep the finger on it, lest the magic smoke escapes
01:05:00 <Nothing\> ugh the alligator clips on this cheap probe are so askew, they barely even make contact
01:05:12 <Nothing\> TMS: not beyond knowing it's driven by a slayer exciter circuit, sometimes
01:05:17 <Nothing\> coolest circuit name ever
01:05:30 <TMS> Yep that is true
01:05:44 <TMS> But im building a spark gap TC now
01:05:50 <Nothing\> ffs cheap dupont connectors are falling apart
01:05:59 <TMS> A step up from the slayer exiter
01:06:11 <TMS> And trying not to get killed :)
01:07:26 <Nothing\> well alright, i've got steady oscillations from this VCO, that's a good start
01:07:51 <Nothing\> except i just realized this application doesn't mention how exactly to control the frequency
01:09:10 <K> TMS, you might have more luck in the forum
01:09:38 <Nothing\> yeah this place isn't the greatest for help on specific topics
01:09:54 <Nothing\> usually there are just a couple of people active at a time
01:11:08 <Nothing\> huh, i didn't know people with down's syndrome usually get alzheimer's too
01:11:40 <Nothing\> you don't usually think of people with down's syndrome, or any significant mental disability, living to the point of being elderly
01:11:54 <Nothing\> i wonder why that is, i don't think i've ever seen an elderly person with developmental problems
01:12:17 <K> because they tend to die before old age?
01:12:53 <Nothing\> that's what i figure, but i wonder why that is
01:13:56 <K> maybe they have problems articulating issues, issues go unnoticed untill it is too late
01:14:18 <K> just guessing
01:14:35 <Nothing\> i figure lack of appropriate care facilities might play into it as well, it's hard enough getting long term care for the elderly, let alone the elderly who suffer from specific disabilities
01:14:46 <Nothing\> hell they can't even give my demented grandfather proper care

01:28:22 <Nothing\> hrm still can't figure out where the heck the input for this vco is, i figured it was just vcc but that only changed the frequency by a fraction of a percent before it crapped right out
01:28:52 <Nothing\> lol and the pins just literally fell off of my pot
01:29:03 <Nothing\> stress from bending them i guess
01:32:23 <Nothing\> okay so i got the frequency to adjust by adjust VCC, but that also inevitably changes the amplitude as well, so how to keep that stable?
01:32:43 <Nothing\> unless i bias it to like 1/2vcc so i have some wiggle room to account for that
01:33:10 <K> +Vc
01:33:32 <Nothing\> yeah that's actually what the diagram calls it
01:33:43 <Nothing\> not sure that there's a differenc
01:36:13 <Nothing\> although i'm using a pot to adjust the voltage, so i just realized if i bias the input with resistors that's going to muck up the values, although being a resistive voltage divider it might not matter since it's just the relative values that matte
01:37:09 <Nothing\> in any event, i seem to have got it working, albeit in a crude manner
01:37:18 <Nothing\> it'll be interesting to see how/if it works in a PLL
01:40:17 <Nothing\> guess i can throw together the rest of the PLL now
01:51:24 Join: TMS ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
01:54:57 <T3sl4> hi
01:55:54 <Nothing\> heya, how's it going?-
01:58:27 <K> welp, time to go home
01:58:33 <K> byee
01:59:26 <Nothing\> have a good one, man
02:00:05 <Nothing\> i think i'll play dynasty warriors, i just picked up 7 the other day and i've been playing it like crazy, but it's starting to get monotonous so i'm thinking of getting the expansion
02:00:17 <Nothing\> even though both games would cost about as much as my entire library of ps3 games

02:27:22 <Nothing\> dang, i got one of those usbisp/usbasp adapters to use with my arduino, i was hoping to be able to upload assembly code with it, but it has 10 pins on the female connector instead of the 6 that are on the arduino

02:36:11 <Nothing\> so bored today, can you tell?
02:40:31 <Nothing\> well i suppose i'd best go into the real world now, have a good one guys

07:38:53 <Ampera> I just bought a new SSD: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226886 (not for 150 USD, for 135USD, it's just newegg because they have nicer numbers to look at)
07:40:23 <DHess_US> I got the SSD I just bought plugged into my NAS box and operating at USB 2.0 speeds as an auxilary volume.
07:40:39 <DHess_US> It works but eh ...

11:28:58 <Halcyon> I'm alright, I took the day off work today. Feel bleh
11:29:11 <Ampera> I bought an SSD
11:29:12 <Halcyon> Everyone around me has been sick, so it was only a matter of time
11:29:17 <Halcyon> Yay!

12:28:15 * Halcyon chases Steve with a water sprayer
12:31:01 * steve30 gets the claws out
12:37:24 <steve30> I'm in a bit of a human-hating mood today
12:52:47 <Halcyon> Oh what's wrong Steve?
12:52:50 <Halcyon> Do you need a cuddle?
12:56:22 <steve30> ooh, cuddles :)
13:04:08 <steve30> I think its time for bed

13:44:46 <steve30> Now I've gone to bed I've lost my sleepiness
13:46:22 <steve30> I think I might go out for a walk
14:49:21 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: Hey @tektronix That was easy to find the name of your new scope. It's the 4 Series MSO. https://t.co/l12OIs4wlx Not hard to find when you just take the 5 series URL and then decrement the number and 1/2/3 give 404's and 4 gives a login :-D
15:10:21 * Halcyon prods Ampera
15:23:47 * Halcyon prods him some more
15:28:25 * steve30 cuddles Halcyon
15:28:31 <Halcyon> Oh you're still up?
15:28:46 <steve30> yeah, i went out for a walk
15:28:50 <Halcyon> What time is it?
15:29:00 <steve30> 0635
15:29:05 <Halcyon> You poor thing
15:29:31 <Halcyon> So what's got you down mister?
15:30:34 <steve30> I'll probably sleep nicely now I've had a walk
15:31:01 <Halcyon> I usually do something else if I can't sleep :P
15:31:05 <steve30> Well, fetish site guy cancelled again which irritated me and reminded me how much i tend to hate humans.
15:31:20 <Halcyon> Ah, I didn't realise he cancelled once before?
15:31:26 <steve30> yeah
15:31:34 <Halcyon> He sounds like a jerk though. It's typical of gays on the internet/grindr
15:31:51 <Halcyon> They tend to just ignore you or drop off the face of the earth
15:32:18 <steve30> Plus it was dull and rainy yesterday which made me not want to go out anywhere, and I had to wake up as my Mum was having a parcel delivered.
15:32:29 <Halcyon> :(
15:32:48 <Halcyon> I keep saying you should move here :P
15:33:37 <steve30> hehe
15:34:02 <steve30> I'd still like to visit australia, but I can't be doing with the long travel time and the heat
15:34:16 <Halcyon> What's "hot" for you?
15:34:39 <steve30> some english summer days
15:35:08 <Halcyon> Like temperature-wise
15:35:09 <Halcyon> ?
15:35:23 <Halcyon> We're coming into Winter and it's about 18 degrees today
15:35:28 <Halcyon> The nights are chilly
15:35:33 <steve30> hmm, maybe 22+
15:35:40 <Halcyon> Oh dear :P
15:35:49 <Halcyon> 28+ is a lovely day at the beach
15:36:08 <Halcyon> 35+ is starting to get too hot to do anything
15:36:26 <steve30> well, i wouldn't say no to a day at the beach :)
15:36:48 <Halcyon> You could wear your dick stickers
15:36:49 <Halcyon> :)
15:37:25 * steve30 googles
15:37:51 <Halcyon> But I would take you to a nice beach, not Bondi, it's just full of tourists
15:38:03 <Halcyon> Or maybe a nudist beach is more your thing?
15:38:52 <steve30> i think a normal beach would be more appropriate
15:42:18 <steve30> There's better be hunks in speedos for me to look at though
15:42:45 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: NEW Video on EEVblog2! New Tektronix Oscilloscope https://t.co/dykFmKmBEP
15:46:59 <Halcyon> Oh, there always is
15:47:08 <Halcyon> Beach boys are tremendous
15:48:31 <steve30> :p
15:48:42 <steve30> Would I be able to take one home with me?
15:53:18 <damian> can i?
15:53:25 <damian> wait, i dont want one
15:53:31 <Halcyon> Maybe?
15:53:32 <damian> but can i have a beach girl?
15:53:37 <Halcyon> I guess jump on grindr? :P
15:53:44 <Halcyon> No Damian, you're married
15:53:45 <damian> i was reading from the bottom up
15:53:59 <damian> i'm not married, i'm in a committed relationship

15:54:29 <Halcyon> Good information to know
15:54:30 <Halcyon> :P
15:54:48 <damian> but trust me, if i brought a beach babe home with me, that beach babe would need to be interested in me and my partner .. and we'd all have a wonderful time
15:55:00 <Halcyon> Hahaha
15:55:25 <steve30> I think I'll have some paracetamol
15:55:47 * Halcyon rubs Steve's head
15:55:58 * damian rubs damian's ..
15:56:45 <Halcyon> Hahah I already did that :P
15:56:56 <damian> :|
15:57:00 <damian> you rubbed damian's ... ?
15:57:29 <steve30> I need it more for my hip than my head

15:58:09 <Halcyon> You wish Damian
15:58:18 <damian> no, you wish!
15:58:24 <Halcyon> Maybe
15:58:27 <damian> haha
16:03:25 <Halcyon> *smirk*
16:03:52 <damian> you should just sign up to my lude snapchat mailing list
16:05:16 <Halcyon> How the fuck does a fresh install of Windows 10 use 12GB ?!
16:05:38 <damian> compatibility and features, duh
16:05:44 <steve30> I'm quite looking forward to my appointment with the hip specialist next week. Hopefully we'll get to the bottom of my problem.
16:05:57 <Halcyon> That's bullshit, no wonder I don't normally use this garbage
16:06:40 * steve30 suggests Windows 2000
16:06:47 <Halcyon> I need a modern OS for testing
16:06:51 <Halcyon> It's for uni
16:07:17 <damian> should have got a copy of Win10IOT
16:07:26 <Halcyon> I don't have it
16:10:55 <steve30> I kinda want some food but I probably shouldn't
16:11:16 <Halcyon> Why not? It's brekky time
16:14:39 <steve30> maybe i'll have something
16:16:59 <Halcyon> Egg on toast with beans?
16:20:53 <steve30> I've put some fish and chips in the oven
16:21:04 <Halcyon> First thing in the morning ?
16:24:16 <steve30> evidently
16:24:42 <Halcyon> Strange boy :)
16:25:03 <steve30> I'd probably have had some toast, but I haven't made any bread this week
16:25:22 <Halcyon> Fair enough

18:14:42 <damian> woah
18:14:46 <damian> there's a lot of buttons and dials on that thing

18:15:02 <damian> i have no practical sense of what the hell it does or is used for though

18:17:12 <damian> i wish i did, my brain just doesn't register

18:17:34 <damian> so you're not much on an anal person then
18:17:35 <damian> damnit
