00:31:51 <Lord_of_nothing> re
00:32:06 <Lord_of_nothing> Does Anyone here have an Ascom Wifi Phone System and know about?
00:53:47 <Ampera> Lord_of_nothing, I have surface knowledge on VoIP phone systems
00:59:56 <Lord_of_nothing> me to thats the problem
01:00:05 <Lord_of_nothing> i bought from ascom there "server"
01:00:18 <Lord_of_nothing> the should manange there wifi tel
01:00:34 <Lord_of_nothing> problem the manual show just "some" instructions
01:00:54 <Lord_of_nothing> And there support is not that happy i mail them
01:01:26 <Lord_of_nothing> and is not happy i got the hardware from ebay i dont told them...
01:01:28 <Ampera> first off, it's their
01:01:48 <Ampera> second off, I presume this is some sort of asterisk server?
01:01:54 <Lord_of_nothing> nope
01:02:06 <Ampera> So this is a proprietary VoIP routing system?
01:02:10 <Lord_of_nothing> its not a pbx ist just a manangment server for the telefon
01:02:19 <Lord_of_nothing> the telefon work fine with my asterisk
01:02:35 <Ampera> management server that manages what?
01:02:49 <Lord_of_nothing> maybe you know some hospitals where the walk arround with the light blue phones?
01:03:00 <Ampera> No
01:03:17 <Lord_of_nothing> https://www.ascom.com/content/ascom/ws/at/de-at/products/category/wireless-handsets/ascom-i62/jcr:content.thumb.319.319.png
01:03:39 <Ampera> Alright, so what does this have to do with a server you bought?
01:03:43 <Lord_of_nothing> its more an us think here in europe the use a dect system
01:04:00 <Lord_of_nothing> its for manange thmen
01:04:06 <Lord_of_nothing> update FW over wifi
01:04:10 <Ampera> In the US, I imagine hostpitals use a wide variety of telecommunications systems, for on and off site comms
01:04:17 <Ampera> So why do you need it?
01:04:43 <Lord_of_nothing> i mean a normal wireless phone system when the nurse is on there station
01:05:30 <Lord_of_nothing> we have at home 4 floors and i needes something who dont need special hardware
01:05:37 <Lord_of_nothing> so wifi its who come in my mind
01:05:40 <Ampera> So you need an intercom system?
01:05:49 <Lord_of_nothing> Internal Phone System
01:05:56 <Lord_of_nothing> Where are you from?
01:05:57 <Ampera> In the US normal POTS phones have intercoms built in
01:06:04 <Ampera> yankee doodle dandy land
01:06:09 <Lord_of_nothing> us?
01:06:14 <Ampera> US
01:06:32 <Lord_of_nothing> Here in Austria quite nobody have a landline phone anymore
01:06:44 <Lord_of_nothing> sure DSL, Cable for Internet
01:06:50 <Ampera> That's fine, but these are usable as regular intercoms
01:07:08 <Lord_of_nothing> no there you would need atleast a pbx for
01:08:24 <Lord_of_nothing> the best soloution is/ was,... an Wifi Phone System
01:08:35 <Lord_of_nothing> Wifi Hotspot are "cheap" and "open".
01:08:47 <K> and "does not work" as well
01:08:52 <Ampera> I mean that's fair enough for an in-home system, you can do that easily with a handful of SIP phones and an asterisk server
01:09:09 <Lord_of_nothing> @k why the should not work?
01:09:21 <Ampera> Lord_of_nothing, because 802.11 doesn't like moving
01:09:22 <Lord_of_nothing> the are sip phones
01:09:40 <Ampera> If they are SIP phones, then you shouldn't need a special proprietary server to use them
01:09:47 <Lord_of_nothing> there are some protocols for roaming
01:10:18 <Ampera> There are some SIP phones that will use their own non-802.11 compatible consumer band transmitters that are intended for roaming
01:10:21 <Lord_of_nothing> Moment! I dont "need" them for voip calls. I need it for: Software Updates via Wifi, Update Settings via Wifi
01:10:39 <Lord_of_nothing> also for SMS and yes "Push to talk".
01:10:49 <Ampera> Then why did you buy these phones?
01:10:52 <DHess_US> It depends on the 802.11 implementation. For instance you need to make sure the APs are on the same subnet.
01:11:04 <DHess_US> Some APs will hand off clients just fine.
01:11:04 <Lord_of_nothing> in the last 1 - 2 year.
01:11:27 <Lord_of_nothing> There are certified zyxel hotspot for!
01:11:42 <Lord_of_nothing> The Ascom are the only Wifi Phones on the Market wo realy work.
01:12:15 <Ampera> Not to be rude, but I can barely understand you, why are you asking about this on an English-speaking channel?
01:12:24 <Lord_of_nothing> the have some kind of cooperation. the voip stack is from innovphone
01:12:37 <Lord_of_nothing> the pbx from siemens
01:12:48 <Lord_of_nothing> and the phone hardware from ascom
01:12:54 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: The Day You Lost Your Music Legacy https://t.co/DLwONBEQ26
01:12:58 <Lord_of_nothing> Why not?
01:13:04 <Lord_of_nothing> Where should I ask for?
01:13:07 <Ampera> Because you can barely speak the language
01:13:12 <Ampera> a German speaking IRC channel?
01:13:39 <Ampera> I'm not kicking you out or refusing to help you, I'm just saying looking elsewhere than this channel specifically might yeild you better advice
01:13:54 <Lord_of_nothing> omg... my english skills are not perfect but i understand 99%
01:14:16 <desu> ich sparchen deutch jah
01:14:22 <Ampera> there you go
01:14:35 <Lord_of_nothing> sure a video about nuclear physic is way above my level but hey...
01:14:40 <Ampera> My German is about as good as your English, probably a bit worse, otherwise I'd speak that.
01:14:55 <Ampera> I'm not saying that you can't understand me, I'm saying I can't understand you.
01:15:20 <Lord_of_nothing> trust me that happen in my country to...
01:15:42 <Lord_of_nothing> i barly understand germans. maybe i am not willing to understand them
01:16:00 <Ampera> So if you can't understand German, and you can't speak English, what is your native language?
01:16:25 <Lord_of_nothing> Austrian.
01:17:05 <Ampera> Is the dialectical gap that far?
01:17:10 <Lord_of_nothing> sure
01:17:17 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
01:17:21 <Lord_of_nothing> like us - aus
01:17:29 <desu> haha same with swedish and scania
01:17:31 <Ampera> Alright, as far as an in-house phone system, you're /way/ overcomplicating it.
01:17:37 <desu> some of them almost speak danish
01:17:53 <Ampera> Lord_of_nothing, unless you /really/ go thick, Australian English and US English is near identical
01:18:01 <Lord_of_nothing> danish sounds funny
01:18:09 <Lord_of_nothing> like a drunken child
01:18:17 <Ampera> There are commercially sold set up and use it intercom systems for almost no money
01:18:19 <desu> it is like amix between german and swedish
01:18:21 <desu> very odd
01:18:42 <Lord_of_nothing> dutch is funny to
01:18:44 <Ampera> They operate over consumer band RF, don't need a phone line, and don't need any fancy config server
01:19:17 <Lord_of_nothing> lol i tried some legal pmr446 device
01:19:24 <Lord_of_nothing> 0,5w
01:19:53 <Lord_of_nothing> dont work with the thick steel concrete walls
01:20:33 <Ampera> Ah.
01:20:43 <Lord_of_nothing> Wifi are perfect! the Hotspot are "cheap" and a cellular system works with many small hotspots
01:21:02 <Lord_of_nothing> thats why i dont understand why hotels in the us should use a "radio" system
01:21:05 <Ampera> If you /need/ to use IP, I'd suggest using less-weird SIP phones.
01:21:33 <Ampera> I'm not sure how to help you with your current stuff, but imo the simpler the better for that sort of thing.
01:21:45 <Lord_of_nothing> the phones work perfectly with any pbx system
01:21:53 <Ampera> Lord_of_nothing, because proprietary radio has been done for decades longer than 802.11, and is cheaper and more reliable
01:22:20 <Lord_of_nothing> cheaper? do you know what a hytera, motorola repeapter cost?
01:22:27 <Ampera> it doesn't require a routing system beyond very simple line switching. Most hotels actually use phone systems instead of radio
01:22:34 <Lord_of_nothing> ~1000€, $ each
01:22:46 <Ampera> Yeah no, that's not what I'm talking around
01:23:16 <Ampera> Simple two way comms radios, like walkie talkies have been a thing since WW2, and the tech is children's toys level of cheap
01:23:22 <Ampera> not that I'm saying you should use walkie talkies
01:24:00 <Lord_of_nothing> i dont know how its in the us here in austria there are 2 different fares for a commercia radio ~20€per Radio on a shared freq. or 2000€ / 5000€ per Month per Freq.
01:24:05 <Ampera> Have you thought about just getting cheap no-subscription Android phones and using something dead simple like Mumble?
01:24:23 <Lord_of_nothing> for that i need a wifi system to *gg*
01:24:25 <Ampera> In the US consumer band radios do not need a license, nor do consumer band radios need a license in Austria
01:24:33 <Ampera> nor anywhere in the EU
01:24:40 <Lord_of_nothing> pmr446 dont need any
01:24:42 <Ampera> I thought you already had one
01:24:54 <Lord_of_nothing> the limit are 0.5w outputpower
01:25:14 <Ampera> Yeah that's walkie talkie frequencies
01:25:18 <Lord_of_nothing> and no repeater or anything elese
01:25:32 <Lord_of_nothing> sure there arent anythink elese avaible
01:26:15 <Lord_of_nothing> a legal digital pmr446 radio cost ~200€ each.
01:26:23 <Lord_of_nothing> (with just 0,5w)
01:26:44 <Lord_of_nothing> the same as amateur radio, commercial 100€
01:26:47 <Lord_of_nothing> with 5w
01:27:49 <Lord_of_nothing> i got the ascom wifi ohone used from ebay for ~25e each
01:27:56 <Lord_of_nothing> (up to 50€)
01:27:59 <Ampera> As I said, you'd be better off with a German/Austrian IRC channel, as they could communicate better, and understand your local laws.
01:28:15 <Lord_of_nothing> i know the laws thats the problem
01:28:25 <Ampera> I don't
01:28:27 <Ampera> that's the problem
01:28:35 <Lord_of_nothing> why wifi are wifi
01:28:48 <Ampera> You see that sentence didn't make any sense
01:28:55 <Lord_of_nothing> why?
01:29:17 <Lord_of_nothing> for wifi the hardware must be certified from the company who produce them
01:29:44 <Lord_of_nothing> so i can bulild a fully legal hotspot system
01:30:34 <Ampera> "why wifi are wifi"
01:30:36 <Ampera> what does that mean
01:30:54 <Lord_of_nothing> sure wifi is wifi there is nothing about legal or illegal
01:31:18 <Lord_of_nothing> beside of some channels the wifi are the same worldwide
01:31:24 <Ampera> That doesn't make grammatical sense either.
01:31:43 <Ampera> It's really hard to understand what you're saying.
01:32:17 <Lord_of_nothing> trust me i real a lot of thinks in the forum who sound not rite
01:32:37 <Lord_of_nothing> even in the german languare some thinks are sound weird
01:33:12 <Ampera> doesn't help me, I can't understand you.
01:35:39 <Lord_of_nothing> so which question are left?
01:40:47 <DHess_US> https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/06/as-summer-heats-up-calif-utility-starts-cutting-power-to-prevent-wildfires/
01:42:46 <Lord_of_nothing> A hoax?
01:46:32 <Lord_of_nothing> Does anyone here have a medical degree?
01:46:43 <Lord_of_nothing> and isnt a dentist *gg*.
01:52:36 <DHess_US> Is what a hoax?
01:52:49 <K> electricity
01:54:48 <DHess_US> No, California is really doing that. They approved shutting off the power to prevent fires after what happened last year instead of trimming the area around the power lines.
01:55:32 <DHess_US> They don't advertise it but California has been doing rolling black outs since the whole Enron thing because they keep shutting down power stations which provide dispatchable power.
01:55:37 <desu> hope cali burns to the ground
01:56:40 <DHess_US> The situation has only gotten worse because all of the wind and solar they have installed is making power distribution unstable.
01:57:05 <DHess_US> They didn't bother installing the needed battery capacity because that would cost real money.

08:38:06 <desu> does wire diameter matter when using torroid cores?

09:01:27 <DHess_US> What miserable weather. I made a real effort to get my car fixed up for spring and summer rains and what happens? Now the windows fog up on the outside. wTF?
09:02:01 <DHess_US> desu, wire diameter matters for series resistance, how much you can wind, and how tough it is.
09:02:19 <desu> yes but in terms of inductance
09:02:25 <desu> the inductance produced
09:02:40 <desu> shouldn't matter right? none of the formulas i see mention it
09:04:52 <DHess_US> No, it doesn't matter for inductance in any important way.
09:05:19 <desu> thank you
09:05:20 <DHess_US> Winding into a smaller core area probably affects leakage inductance a small amount but I have never seen it considered.
09:07:24 <DHess_US> As you use larger diameter wire, you eventually reach a point where the skin effect becomes significant and multiple smaller wires or copper strip should be used instead.
09:07:58 <DHess_US> But that doesn't have anything to do with inductance.

10:57:49 <T3sl4> desu: magnetizing inductance only depends on turns, as long as core mu_r >> 1
10:58:07 <T3sl4> leakage inductance does depend on how the wires are arranged, if you have multiple windings that is

14:53:15 <Ampera> I'd probably do well with one of those, even though I do not enjoy the concept of alcohol

14:54:41 <ThunderSqueak> those are what I have on hand
14:56:23 <Ampera> I've never had sake, so I do not know what sort of beverage it is.
14:56:38 <Ampera> Outside of very limited exceptions I've never had alcohol (being under 21)
15:06:57 <ThunderSqueak> ah, it is a very smooth beverage, not strong tasting, just a mild sweetness most of the time
15:07:23 <ThunderSqueak> it goes very well with japanese food, as if they were designed to offset and compliment the flavor

18:50:14 <steve30> loud enough to be annoying. And has been going on regularly throughout the day for the last year or so
19:00:14 <Halcyon> Steve, do you know them? Perhaps you could just try having a chat to them?

19:01:47 <steve30> don't know them
19:01:53 <steve30> they only moved in a year ago
19:03:18 <Halcyon> Well, I know as a Police officer when we used to get noise complaints, before I go bang on someones door, I'd ask the person reporting if they had spoken to their neighbour. The answer was almost always no.
19:03:18 <EEVBlog> 42, Halcyon!
19:03:25 <Halcyon> Indeed EEVBlog!
19:03:51 <Halcyon> I would probably start there, if you don't feel comfortable, leave a friendly note.
19:04:26 <Halcyon> The Police/Council aren't there to solve every minor annoyance. If it becomes a regular concern and the owners do nothing, then sure, escalate it if need be
19:04:36 <steve30> Its not a police matter, because its not a crime.
19:05:09 <Halcyon> As I mentioned to Ampera, Police here deal with anything to do with "keeping the peace". It doesn't have to be a crime for us to get involved
19:05:56 <steve30> yeah, they do that here too, but somethings are technically matters for other departments
19:06:21 <Halcyon> I mean there is a difference between helping out someone who calls for help and doing ridiculous jobs like neighbours putting rubbish in your bin (those we reject)
19:06:50 <Bluenote> Unless the rubbish is a human limb.

22:37:04 <desu> is this common?
22:37:11 <desu> in other countries
22:50:25 <K> hm
22:50:34 <K> what kind of electrical stuff?
22:50:41 <desu> wires
22:50:44 <desu> resistors
22:50:45 <desu> capacitors
22:50:48 <desu> things like that
22:51:00 <K> hmm, there are a few places in Riga
22:51:06 <K> but you have to know
22:51:18 <desu> well there are 'electronics stores
22:51:21 <desu> '
22:52:12 <desu> but oddly enough only one of them seems to sell resistors & capacitors and wire for some reason
22:52:22 <K> what do they sell then?
22:52:31 <desu> i do not know what to call it
22:52:36 <desu> consumer electronics?
22:52:38 <K> ah.
22:52:58 <K> wire for installation and bulbs and sockets and that kind of stuff

22:55:22 <desu> yeah that type of stuff
22:55:24 Part: sofakng ([email protected]) from #EEVblog
22:56:02 <K> did you find any local forums?
22:56:17 <desu> i did
22:56:19 <K> you could try asking there about shops as well
22:56:47 <desu> i will just order from ebay or go to that one store
22:56:55 <desu> because i keep getting jewed on import taxes
22:57:01 <desu> and it is annoying
22:57:18 <desu> 7 kr VAT
22:57:27 <desu> but there's a 75 kr "handling fee"
22:57:30 <desu> or something
22:57:33 <desu> it's weird
22:58:10 <K> have you tried sellers from eu in ebay?
22:58:17 <desu> https://www.postnord.se/en/receiving/collecting-mail/from-another-country/changes-march-1
22:58:20 <desu> yes
22:58:23 <desu> but those are expensive
22:59:08 <desu> they started getting harsh on chinese imports because of some app called 'wish'
23:00:31 <desu> i dunno it's kind of a gamble
23:00:40 <desu> sometimes they miss it and you don't have to pay any import tax
23:00:43 <desu> other times you do
23:01:47 <K> we have to do duties-dance only if value of package exceeds $25 or something like that
23:03:02 <desu> we used to have something like that
23:03:07 <desu> but the wish app ruined it
23:03:42 <desu> because people ordered too much and it cost too much money for the post company
23:04:50 <K> i see.
23:06:21 <K> just checked farnell and shipping to sweden on the next day is 8 eur, tme.eu might not be next day, but is 7 eur
23:07:18 <K> there might be some local .se shops that could go cheeper
23:07:26 <K> i know we have some internet based ones
23:07:42 <desu> yup electrokit
23:07:44 <desu> they are alright
23:07:45 <K> local postage for small items is like 3 eur i think
23:07:56 <desu> only issue is the shipping is rather expensive
23:08:05 <K> more than 3 eur?
23:08:08 <desu> i'll just go check that one store out in town that has stuff
23:08:14 <desu> yeah it's like 10+ euro
23:08:14 <K> yea
23:08:18 <K> ah, that sucks
23:08:23 <K> then farnell or tme is better eh
23:11:03 <desu> yeah
23:21:07 <desu> lol

23:52:45 <sofakng> Can anybody help me? I'm trying to view an infrared signal on my oscilliscope to detect the signal frequency but I'm getting triangle waves instead of square?
23:57:17 <DHess_US> You need to optimize your photodiode amplifiers.
23:57:23 <DHess_US> It is too slow.
23:58:56 <sofakng> I'm (obviously) a newbie and still learning ... I've just connected a 940nm IR receiver diode like this: 5v -> IR receiver diode -> probe & 2.2k resistor -> GND
