06:34:22 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera
06:38:03 Join: embeddedlearner ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
06:38:17 <Halcyon> Must still be in college
06:38:37 <embeddedlearner> hello
06:38:47 <Halcyon> Morning
06:38:59 <embeddedlearner> how is it going
06:39:13 <Halcyon> Alright, would be better if I didn't have to drive to work in a moment
06:39:16 <Halcyon> Yourself?
06:39:39 <embeddedlearner> not great
06:39:46 <Halcyon> Oh?
06:39:47 <embeddedlearner> just broke FPGA
06:40:08 <Halcyon> That's never good
06:40:14 <Halcyon> What was it for?
06:40:15 <embeddedlearner> I bought one of these FPGA development kits
06:40:20 <Halcyon> Ah right
06:40:49 <embeddedlearner> it was only few days I got it,
06:41:12 <embeddedlearner> programmed few simple programs on it
06:41:19 <embeddedlearner> but suddenly it turned off
06:41:27 <embeddedlearner> and it seems completely dead
06:41:35 <Halcyon> You sure it's something you did?
06:41:39 <Halcyon> Could it just be faulty?
06:42:09 <embeddedlearner> I am not sure, I cant think of anything I did was unusual
06:42:17 <embeddedlearner> I bought off amazon
06:42:25 <Halcyon> Maybe send it back for warranty, dead on arrival ;-)
06:42:38 <embeddedlearner> the review for the seller is pretty good
06:42:41 <embeddedlearner> lol
06:42:47 <Halcyon> Eh, these things happen
06:42:50 <embeddedlearner> I am pissed
06:42:53 <Halcyon> Might just be a faulty part
06:42:55 <embeddedlearner> it was 115 pounds
06:43:06 <embeddedlearner> how can i prove whether it was faulty
06:43:09 <Halcyon> Anyway I would love to stay and chat but I have to run. Need to get to work.
06:43:17 <embeddedlearner> lol thankss
06:43:20 <embeddedlearner> dont worry
06:43:22 <Halcyon> Well I don't know what laws are like in your country but just saying it would be enough?
06:43:30 <Halcyon> They can test it for themselves if they need to
06:43:40 <Halcyon> If they can get it to work, then it's not broken
06:43:41 <embeddedlearner> I dont know , I will try anyway
06:44:23 <Halcyon> Good luck :-)
06:44:40 <rust_collector> why did you hook it up to mains?
06:45:49 <embeddedlearner> I didnt hook it up to mains
06:45:58 <embeddedlearner> it was just connected to the USB
06:46:22 <rust_collector> oh well. it was worth trying some remote troubleshooting
06:46:50 <rust_collector> if not that, I have no idea
06:47:13 <embeddedlearner> well, the board looks dead
06:47:17 <embeddedlearner> despite been dead
06:47:38 <embeddedlearner> there is a chip on this development kit which i think is in charge of power
06:47:45 <embeddedlearner> that chip gets really hot
06:47:52 <embeddedlearner> each time I plug in the boar
06:47:52 <embeddedlearner> d
06:48:02 <rust_collector> does it have any kind of markings on it?
06:48:27 <embeddedlearner> DA9062
06:48:35 <embeddedlearner> is the chip which gets really hot
06:48:46 <embeddedlearner> ARTY-A7 is the dev board I am using
06:49:12 <rust_collector> https://www.dialog-semiconductor.com/sites/default/files/da9062-a_datasheet_2v3.pdf
06:49:26 <rust_collector> looks like it does everything to do with power
06:50:34 <embeddedlearner> so either that chip is gone, or either something else is buggered and pulling too much current out of this chip
06:51:15 <rust_collector> sounds right to me, but I know nothing. Maybe T3sl4 knows, he likes chips and stuff
06:53:09 <embeddedlearner> thanks
06:53:53 <rust_collector> do you get any voltage on the outputs of that chip? And... I guess, do you get voltage into it?
06:54:17 <rust_collector> I guess, does it still heat up when plugged in, or did that also stop, when it died?
06:55:48 <embeddedlearner> Unfortunately I dont have the measuring equipment at home
06:56:04 <embeddedlearner> but It does still get heated up when plugged in
06:58:16 <rust_collector> that is something. I won't tell you what to do, because I don't know. And it is too expensive for me to give you bad ideas
06:59:09 <embeddedlearner> I mean its broken now, there is nothing more that could go wrong
06:59:24 <rust_collector> but it might still be fixable
06:59:26 <embeddedlearner> I was thinking of replacing the chip
06:59:31 <embeddedlearner> but is tiny
06:59:54 <embeddedlearner> its all my responsibilit
06:59:55 <embeddedlearner> y
07:00:20 <rust_collector> well, I still don't know, so... lol
07:00:44 <rust_collector> maybe someone will comment soon(ish)
07:00:46 <embeddedlearner> lol ok
07:01:12 <rust_collector> I am still in the pre-noob category
07:02:55 <embeddedlearner> :))

07:04:14 <Ampera> Hey Halcyon
07:04:16 <Ampera> you still around?
07:04:54 <rust_collector> hey Ampera. He said he was going to do something... so maybe not
07:06:06 <Ampera> oh yeah going to work
07:06:16 <Ampera> well the chatlog is thick and I just woke up
07:06:52 <rust_collector> work. oh well
07:15:40 <rust_collector> my work today was 4 hours and 10 minutes driving, and 2 hours cleaning the truck when it was done. That seafood stuff is not very nice

14:14:32 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: #AdAstra is visually spectacular, has two of the space cowboys, but is overly long to reach its ultimately unsatisfying conclusion. I can see what they were trying to do, but the story arc didn't really do it for me in the end. I wanted more. Still well worth seeing. https://t.co/2HC9jx2IYg

19:47:05 <K> hello
19:50:57 <Halcyon> Evening all
19:50:58 <Halcyon> Ampera
20:02:36 <Ampera> Halcyon,
20:02:40 <Halcyon> Herro :-)
20:02:58 <Ampera> I am going on a trip next saturday
20:03:04 <Halcyon> Oh yeh?
20:03:10 <Ampera> yeh
20:03:13 <Halcyon> Where you going?
20:03:18 <Ampera> duh city
20:03:26 <Halcyon> OK?
20:03:57 <Ampera> /the/ city
20:04:09 <Halcyon> Riiight... I'm still waiting for the interesting bit...
20:04:21 <T3sl4> i hope you get mugged
20:04:33 <Ampera> I hope you get railed
20:04:41 <T3sl4> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JrH5_NliF4
20:04:48 <Halcyon> Oh, I just looked up how far away that is... I guess that's significant the
20:04:49 <Halcyon> then
20:05:02 <Halcyon> See, travelling to Sydney City for me is just a "drive"
20:05:12 <Halcyon> Driving 3 hours to Canberra is meh
20:05:19 <Ampera> NYC is about 3 hours
20:05:25 <Halcyon> So much so, I'm considering applying for a job in Canberra
20:05:55 <Halcyon> I wouldn't drive every day though, drive in at the start of the week and return home at the end
20:06:05 <Ampera> Anyways I'm going to a few museums.
20:06:30 <K> amuseums
20:06:45 <Halcyon> I worked out that if I do that, I'm actually spending 3+ hours less time driving and it's cheaper, than driving to/from my current workplace 4 days a week
20:06:59 <Ampera> I'm going to the NY metropolitan museum of art, the American museum of natural history, and the 9/11 museum
20:07:35 <Halcyon> Are you going to go visit Louis Rossmann too?
20:07:50 <Ampera> Why would I do that, I don't have shitty computers for him to fix
20:07:58 <Halcyon> *shrug*
20:08:10 <T3sl4> learn to solder
20:08:13 <Halcyon> Sodder
20:08:21 <T3sl4> Sowldurr
20:08:23 <Ampera> I'm gonna ride a greyhound over there
20:08:28 <K> sodding computers
20:09:15 <Halcyon> So I discovered a new youtube channel today
20:09:47 <Halcyon> He is what I imagine an Aussie version of T3sl4 would be like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sQ16ivHEgY
20:09:51 <T3sl4> is it gay? oh wait YT doesn't like them
20:09:59 <Ampera> nor do I
20:10:11 <Halcyon> He is very funny but I also agree with him. He doesn't just do comedy, he does serious talks too. Very smart guy.
20:10:26 <T3sl4> oh yeah, i think i saw this guy recently but i don't remember what it was on
20:10:45 <Ampera> anyways I gotta get shit together for school
20:10:58 <Halcyon> Have fun Ampera
20:11:01 <Halcyon> Will you be back later?
20:11:11 <Ampera> in about 1 hour 50 minutes
20:11:16 <Halcyon> Sounds good
20:11:25 <Ampera> cor, it's a tad cold out
20:11:29 <Ampera> 41F 5C
20:11:33 <Halcyon> But yes, Isaac is Aussie T3sl4
20:11:38 <Halcyon> Yeh that is nippley
20:11:43 <Ampera> I guess I'm bringing a jacket then
20:12:16 <T3sl4> also, there already was an Aussie version of me, but rip tesla500 :(
20:13:59 <T3sl4> Halcyon, any interest in chemistry?
20:15:10 <Halcyon> I am
20:15:16 <Halcyon> And spacey stuff
20:15:39 <T3sl4> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvFApMFo_AafXbHRyEJefjA
20:15:41 <Halcyon> I've also been enjoying this channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr5qeBG9g7bGtMGyHG2GzbQ
20:16:23 <Halcyon> Oh wow, what a strong accent
20:16:28 <Halcyon> Haha, must be from Queensland
20:16:35 <steve30> hi Halcyon
20:16:39 <Halcyon> Hey Steve!
20:17:14 <Halcyon> He's actually quite cute T3sl4
20:17:20 <Halcyon> I dig nerdy/smart guys
20:18:12 <steve30> I think Halcyon should take T3sl4 out on a date
20:18:36 <Halcyon> Oh I totally would... if he lived here... and was into me
20:18:46 <Halcyon> Minor issues :P
20:18:48 <T3sl4> i hear that steve30 guy really digs computers, and other guys
20:19:31 <steve30> I need some new tips for my Etymotic earphones
20:19:40 <Halcyon> Steve is even further away
20:20:05 <Halcyon> Fuck spending 22 hours on a plane
20:21:33 <Halcyon> I'd love to visit Isle of Man... not to take Clive out on a date, but to see the place
20:21:51 <Halcyon> I like the idea of living on an island
20:22:15 <steve30> But you'd take clive out on a date anyway? :p
20:22:23 <Halcyon> Nah, not into bears
20:22:23 <T3sl4> if someone dropped a bomb there, would it then be raining Isle of Man?
20:22:36 <Halcyon> Hahah I like it T3sl4, very good
20:23:15 <Ampera> Seems I have a bit of extra time
20:23:32 <Halcyon> Why is that Amps?
20:24:20 <Ampera> cause I didn't have much to put together?
20:24:25 <Ampera> I leave at 6:30
20:24:48 <Halcyon> Oh right, the way you were speaking, you were already just about out the door
20:24:58 <Ampera> cause I only got 30 minutes to get ready
20:25:03 <Ampera> sometimes that takes longer sometimes it doesn't
20:26:12 <Ampera> It was harder than you think actually to get transport to NYC
20:26:42 <Ampera> because I want it to be a day trip I need to leave early and return late, and the bus companies I knew of didn't run buses at good times
20:26:54 <Ampera> the train is also very expensive and not any better
20:28:15 <Ampera> I looked at peter pan, megabus, amtrak, and greyhound and none of them had good buses. There's the chinese busses, but they are notoriously shit
20:28:41 <Halcyon> If were able to drive, would that be easier?
20:28:43 <Ampera> adirondack trailways had good times, but their busses were 60 bucks each way
20:28:54 <Ampera> If I was able to drive? Well yes, then I could just drive to NYC.
20:29:01 <coppice> Ampera: when I lived in HK I had a day trip to Zurich once, and numerous day trips to Manila. your day trip powers are weak
20:29:41 <coppice> Actually the trip to Zurich exceeded 24 hours, as the flights added up to about 22 hours, but I still think of it as a day trip
20:29:44 <Ampera> Well if you A. have a plane, and B. timezones, and C. stretch the meaning of day trip
20:29:55 <Ampera> aha
20:30:06 <Ampera> You see I'm going to be in NYC for about 12 horus
20:30:07 <Ampera> *hours
20:30:24 <coppice> I have had a number of genuine get up early and go to bed late trips from HK to Manila
20:30:50 <Ampera> Well manilla is far closer than zurich
20:30:58 <Ampera> anyways it's time to head out, ciao
20:31:03 <Ampera> be back in about 90 minutes
21:34:09 * Ampera bleets at Halcyon
21:34:44 <Halcyon> :P
21:34:49 <Ampera> I'm at school
21:34:51 <Halcyon> I'll be back soon, just making dinner
21:34:56 <Ampera> alright then
21:55:24 <Ampera> Anyways I'm in class, see you later
21:56:56 <Halcyon> Back Ampera
22:02:37 * steve30 pets Halcyon
22:09:05 <T3sl4> i should get a coffee
22:11:43 <steve30> get one for me too please :)
22:17:02 <Halcyon> YAY!
22:20:43 <steve30> Halcyon, how's Jerry?
22:24:21 * T3sl4 returns with a coffee, and one for steve30
22:32:19 <Halcyon> He's cute
23:15:14 Join: hsn ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
23:15:27 <hsn> hey, what do you think : https://github.com/hsn93/Endurance_EEPROM
23:34:18 <Ampera> Still around, Halcyon?
23:41:16 <T3sl4> hsn: i had a stroke just reading that
23:44:23 <hsn> haha
23:44:36 <hsn> why :(
23:46:00 <Ampera> hsn, because the english reads like someone just had a mercury smoothie
23:47:12 <hsn> so its not my "english" it generic ? :)
23:50:12 <Ampera> you see, in a discussion about english, you've managed to make a sentence that is completly incomprehensible
23:50:15 <Ampera> I have no idea what you just said.
23:51:31 <hsn> :D :D
23:52:03 <hsn> ok english is bad. how about the library idea?
23:52:26 <Ampera> A wear leveling library?
23:52:47 <hsn> almost..
23:52:52 <Ampera> It's a decent idea, it's already been done and potentially better, but it's always nice to have your own stuff
23:53:14 <Ampera> that way if you have a project you don't have to worry about compile dependencies nor licensing
23:56:54 <hsn> i wanted to use CRC + can read all the logs.. so its not updating last variable but can use older values .. thats why i called it log system.. maybe there are log wear leveling i didnt come to one
