36:41 <Ysjoelfir> mr. head, you ditched me yesterday, I was very hurt :'(
37:34 <T3sl4> electrohead, i suggest apologizing with a green tea + honey
37:58 <Ysjoelfir> yes, at least!

58:40 <Ysjoelfir> You rich bastard :D
58:48 <electrohead> pfft
58:53 <electrohead> I've been saving
58:56 <electrohead> :p
59:00 <Ysjoelfir> thats ok than :D
59:11 <electrohead> man, I am *far* from rich
59:13 <electrohead> heh
00:32 <Ysjoelfir> My mum got a letter today. German Telekom wants to build FTTH in the region she lives in. Since they got funding from the city they offered to give her a free FTTH connection.
00:52 <Ysjoelfir> She was like "I don't need that!" to which I replied "YES YOU DO WANT FTTH FOR FREE!"

08:31 <K> CAN I HAVE TWO?
08:55 <K> otoh i could get fiber for about the same monies i pay for dsl
09:24 <Ysjoelfir> I wouldn't complain about free fibers as well
10:02 <K> like "free instalation" or "free use for 183883883 GB" ?
10:58 <Ysjoelfir> free installation. right now there is NO fiber in that city at all.
11:10 <K> oh.
11:29 <Ysjoelfir> the plan is not much more than regular DSL, but installation costs would be like 10 to 50 grand normally if your flat isn't already connected

02:31 <Nothing\> hey all, how's it hangin?
13:18 <T3sl4> a Nothing\!
15:48 * Nothing\ hugs T3sl4 
15:52 <Nothing\> hey man, how are you?
16:00 <T3sl4> *hugs* good, you?

16:23 <Nothing\> I'm doing alright
16:28 <Nothing\> a bit worried about my brother though
17:03 <Nothing\> him and his roommate got the shit beat out of them when their 280lb 6.5 foot native american roommate lost his mind and literally tried to kill them both
17:30 <Nothing\> https://ibb.co/hYfYbJp
17:54 <T3sl4> :/
17:56 * Ampera hugs Nothing\ 
18:07 <Nothing\> got choked out, stomped on, front teeth knocked out, or at least the veneers anyways, ribs bruised and/or broken
18:13 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera
18:18 <Ampera> sounds nice
18:18 <Nothing\> hey man, how you doing?
18:24 <Nothing\> but other than that, i'm doing well
18:25 <Ampera> I've been awake
18:35 <Ampera> Where have you been for all this time anyways
18:39 <Ampera> you weren't on for a while
18:44 <Nothing\> i'm just a bit worried he mighta had a concussion, and between drinking and pills he was taking that can't be a good combination
19:09 <Nothing\> Ampera, ah i've just been keeping to myself. Haven't realy felt too social I guess.
19:40 <Nothing\> But I looked into this guy's history, he's got at least 2 priors and an outstanding warrant from up north for violent crimes
19:52 <Ampera> sounds like a nice guy
19:54 <Nothing\> so there's no way he's making bail and he's probably gonna do pen time for this
20:02 <Nothing\> Ampera, really he was, until last night
20:26 <Nothing\> their other room mate said something like it's shitty how the europeans came and took all of your land
20:46 <Ampera> lol
20:50 <Nothing\> and he just lost it, saying they didn't take shit and the natives still run things, then started beating the shit out of him and choked him till he was turning blue
21:18 <Nothing\> at which point my brother jumped on him, all 120lb and 5'5" of him
21:19 <Ampera> I guess that's go woke get broke to an extreme...
21:37 <Nothing\> but this guy was literally trying to choke them both to death
21:39 <Ampera> I'm a smaller person, but that's tiny
22:07 <Nothing\> my brother finally got a chance to call the landlord who called the cops and the guy's in jail with a restraining order and trespass order for the property and the landlord said he's out immediately
22:23 <Nothing\> yeah, he's not a big guy at all
22:28 <Nothing\> i'm small too, and he's smaller than me
22:39 <Nothing\> 5'7" 150lbs
22:55 <Ampera> You're even smaller than I am
23:01 <Ampera> 5'8" 170lbs
23:05 <Nothing\> i dunno what he's gonna do about his teeth, he certainly can't afford to replace the veneers
23:11 <Nothing\> ah damn
23:20 <Nothing\> yeah it's funny, i'm the tallest one in my family too
23:39 <Nothing\> i remember the doctor saying according to my growth chart, i should be 5'10" when i was an adult
23:58 <Ampera> I got a new webcam anyways
24:03 <Nothing\> i wonder if he was either wrong about that, or if the drugs and harsh lifestyle during my teenage years just stunted my growth
24:16 <Nothing\> oh yeah? I've been thinking about getting one
24:21 <Ampera> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/446784913467899945/813373952222167090/20210222_063721.jpg
24:21 <Nothing\> or a microphone anyways
24:51 <Nothing\> the strain relief on my old mic didn't relieve enough strain apparently and the wire just broke off
25:03 <Nothing\> nice
25:11 <Nothing\> that's a lot different from what i was picturing
25:32 <Nothing\> heh i actually figured out how to do some neat stuff with the camera on my mom's phone the other day
25:40 <Nothing\> like set the shutter speed for up to 30 seconds
25:46 <Nothing\> or take time lapse videos
26:02 <Nothing\> which end up being 1.8gb for 5 minutes :/
26:17 <Nothing\> i dunno what compression it's using but it's clearly garbage
26:48 <Ampera> https://www.sony.com/electronics/handycam-camcorders/fdr-ax53
26:51 <Ampera> This is the camera I bought
27:32 <Nothing\> damn that's nice
27:36 <Ampera> Aye
27:41 <Nothing\> ya know what i'd love to get? one of those flir cameras
27:52 <Nothing\> but they cost an arm and a leg, even just for entry level ones
27:56 <Ampera> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuWQjoiorY8
28:01 <Ampera> Here's some test footage I shot with it
28:20 <Nothing\> lucky for you, i have a 4k display
28:36 <Ampera> lol, I don't
28:48 Join: TheDude ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
28:52 <Ampera> My ultrawide is effectively 4k with the vertical resolution halved
29:04 <Ampera> I have a meeting in a minute, be back in a bit
32:58 <Nothing\> lol my cat loved that video
33:06 <Nothing\> but yeah dude, that's crystal clear, i love it
33:13 <Nothing\> definitely a good investment
33:24 <Ampera> It has good battery life too
33:33 <Ampera> 3.5 hours rated when recording at 4k
33:50 <Nothing\> that's pretty decent, 4k probably uses a lot of power
34:00 <Nothing\> hey TheDude
34:06 <Nothing\> how's it going, dude?
34:23 <Nothing\> speaking of videos
34:30 <Nothing\> you see that video of the mars rover landing?
34:34 <Ampera> nope
34:35 <Nothing\> that was some incredible footage
34:49 <Nothing\> yeah they actually got 3 different angles of it, real video, not just an artist's rendering
35:13 <TheDude> hello
35:27 <TheDude> the tunneling didn't work
35:30 <Nothing\> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7rZEEeC_YM&ab_channel=GlobalNews
35:54 <Nothing\> they even put microphones on the rover, so they can listen to the sounds of mars
35:56 <TheDude> the connection was getting shut down on every attempt
36:29 <TheDude> I'm gonna try to change the port to something like 443, to try and fool whatever internet security bullshit they have going on
36:31 <Nothing\> which is interesting, i was reading through a page on nasa's site that was talking about how things sound different on mars because of the lower air pressure and what not
36:53 <Nothing\> apparently it attenuates high pitched noises so much, things like bells and bird tweets are practically inaudible
37:23 <Nothing\> they had a few examples of regular sounds as heard on earth compared to how they'd sound on mars and it sounds like they went through a low pass filter
38:22 <Nothing\> they released 2 audio recordings so far, one from the surface which just sounds like nothing, and another from space where all you can hear is the heat pumps whirring away, circulating coolant
38:54 <Nothing\> i think it'd be cool to get audio of it crunching rocks and soil as it roves along
39:31 <Nothing\> it's incredible the suite of instruments they put on this thing, though
39:44 <Nothing\> blows all of the previous rovers out of the water
40:31 <Nothing\> they even have a system where they're gonna collect soil samples and leave them in a specific place to be picked up by a future rover that'll have a little rocket on it that'll return the samples to Earth. How cool is that?
42:44 <K> it is some cool.
43:48 <T3sl4> https://i.imgur.com/UROKUcj.jpg
43:52 <Nothing\> oh yeah, i was perusing canadian drug laws last night
44:15 <Nothing\> apparently the potassium permanganate i got is considered a class a precursor, i think for meth
44:33 <Nothing\> which means it's legal to possess, but you can't sell it without a license
44:45 <Nothing\> which makse me wonder about the vendor i bought it from on amazon
45:22 <Nothing\> lol i always thought bill nye had a weird shaped skull
45:33 <Nothing\> it's shaped like a lightbulb or something
45:59 <Nothing\> or an upside down pear
51:38 <T3sl4> a little bit i guess, or his hair accentuates it
54:54 <Nothing\> definitely
04:41 <T3sl4> huh, what the heck is permanganate used for anyway?
04:51 <T3sl4> evidently, a purification step in the extraction
10:59 <T3sl4> sheesh, is there even shipment of raw coca or extract outside of producer countries? seems like a pretty useless thing to restrict
11:31 <T3sl4> especially given how useful it is, though also given how dangerous an oxidizer it is, a little control is understandable, but that's a completely different reason
11:41 * T3sl4 shrug
12:08 <Ysjoelfir> Over here we have restrictions for some very nice cleaners, just because people noticed that eating that stuff makes you high...

04:46 <Nothing\> Ysjoelfir, yeah i remember back in the days when i experimented with drugs i got this stuff called GBL, or gamma-butyrolactone, which is a very potent sedative, but it also happens to be a strong solvent and as a result, it's great for cleaning everything from circuit boards to fuel injectors.
05:02 <Nothing\> but i think it's been scheduled now
05:36 <Nothing\> funny thing is since it was such a good solvent, it would literally eat a hole through anything plastic
06:07 <Nothing\> i even tried diluting some in orange juice at about a 1:50 ratio and it was enough to turn a plastic water bottle as floppy as a ziplock bag
06:28 <Nothing\> i figured it was best to just throw that out lol
06:48 <Nothing\> actually, it's metabolized directly into GHB, if you've ever heard of that
06:54 <Nothing\> the so-called daterape drug
07:16 <Nothing\> but anywho, i've gotta pop over to the vape shop for some ejuice so i'll bbiab take care, guys

59:31 <arch> too expensive for what it's doing. i bet you could do the same with a bunch of shift registers controlled by an arduino that controls those digital pot arrays
00:15 <Kuschelpony> hmmmmmmm, why not just wire up a potentiometer and turn it by hand...

43:25 <rust_collector> HELLO!
45:44 <Kuschelpony> shyquiethello
51:21 <rust_collector> hi mr pony. so this is the weekend, eh?
51:25 <rust_collector> WOOHOO!
51:53 <arch> i wish i could be as happy as rust_collector =(
53:21 <rust_collector> I'm not happy, I just like to pretend online
53:37 <Kuschelpony> yes there is the weekend
54:15 <Kuschelpony> i am partially sometimes happy, but most i feel worry, anxiety and sleepless for social reasons that do not really fit here
54:38 <Kuschelpony> so i am either mostly silent or try to focus on pure technical discussion
00:55 <rust_collector> meh, it is ok to talk here if you need to
03:01 <rust_collector> if you want to, send me a message here, if you feel the need, I suck at that kind of talking thing, but hey...
13:13 <Kuschelpony> i have still not regoistered so i cant sent messages
14:08 <Kuschelpony> but to say in short, electronics is my other hobby that i do but it barely gives me satisfaction anymore, what i am missing is more the kind of non-sexual adult stuff that challenges the body
15:13 <DHess_US> https://vid.pr0gramm.com/2021/02/26/5192d3bdfa2285bb.mp4
15:19 <rust_collector> yes, you have mentioned that. but, if you want to talk, you can
21:04 <Kuschelpony> i think that fits better in very different chats
21:12 <Kuschelpony> sorry i should never have mentioned it
22:18 <Kuschelpony> i just think the way my brain works, i can only ever be successfull around engineers and tinkerers like here, but not in the other special world where people are higly socially vulnerable and selective
24:24 <rust_collector> it is ok. I think most of what is said here fits better in other chats, lol.
24:53 <rust_collector> so! I am going back to making dinner for a little bit
28:09 <DHess_US> Found a new way to determine the end of winter - stores stop stocking ice melt.

41:01 <JanePrivate> Hello, been looking at banggood for a cheap soldering iron with temperature-regulation. I'm from a country with only access to banggood and high import taxes so my budget's tight. I saw these two: https://ph.banggood.com/Handskit-90W-LED-Digital-Soldering-Iron-Kit-110V-or-220V-Adjust-Temperature-Electrical-Soldering-Iron-4-Wire-Core-Welding-Tools-p

41:08 <JanePrivate> are they any good?
42:27 <JanePrivate> My budget's only at 27-28 USD when converted. I'm grateful for any insights thank you
43:19 <rust_collector> I rrrrealy don't know. i am pretty sure the last one will do some basic soldering. I can not open the first link
43:50 <Ysjoelfir> if you must, opt for the YIIIHUUUAAAAAAA
44:14 <JanePrivate> thank you, the first link is this handskit 90w LED soldering iron https://ph.banggood.com/Handskit-90W-LED-Digital-Soldering-Iron-Kit-110V-or-220V-Adjust-Temperature-Electrical-Soldering-Iron-4-Wire-Core-Welding-Tools-p-1737759.html?cur_warehouse=CN&ID=523698
46:01 <rust_collector> yeah, I don't know anything about that one. but yihua does tend to work. I use a yihua 936, and it is fine for little electronics things
49:04 <JanePrivate> I saw those too and was considering until I saw the power supply is sold separately and together would be twice my budget. The 908D though has the power supply built in. I'm sure the 936 is better compared to it and modularity's good for replacements too.
49:37 <JanePrivate> Thank you rust_collector. I'm going to buy some tips wedge tips too for good measure
50:13 <Ysjoelfir> youre welcome
51:10 <rust_collector> good luck
12:11 Join: arch ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
14:07 <electrohead> JanePrivate: if your budget was a bit higher, I'd recommend the TS100
14:36 <rust_collector> yes, you would...
15:01 Join: Guest|94543 ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
15:44 <Guest|94543> hello
15:48 <Ysjoelfir> I would consider the T12
15:56 <Ysjoelfir> thats also pretty nice actually
16:17 <Ysjoelfir> I have the T12-Q19, branded "Quecoo"
16:23 <Ysjoelfir> Also hello Guest|94543
17:21 <Guest|94543> can someone help me troubleshoot a over 35 year old amp. it keeps on drifting from stereo to mono randomly. i sprayed contact cleaner bassicly everywhere and i dont really now how much that helped but i think it might of did something
17:58 Quit: arch ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
18:02 <Ysjoelfir> did you wiggle all the switches and pots half a million times after adding contact cleaner?
18:23 <Guest|94543> no
18:28 <Guest|94543> what will that do
19:36 <Ysjoelfir> wiping off the dirt that is on the contacts, using the contact cleaner you sprayed in there
19:56 Quit: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
22:53 <Guest|94543> alright thanks for the help! should i re apply contact cleaner. it has already evaproted by now
23:09 <rust_collector> yep
23:42 <Ysjoelfir> a good contact cleaner shouldn't evaporate at all. it is acidic and cleans the residues. after that (and after the million wiggles) you wash the switches and pots with alcohol and after that you should add a contact protection.
24:17 <Ysjoelfir> suggested products: Kontakt 60, IPA, Kontakt 61 (in that order)
24:47 <Guest|94543> is the alchoal just for protection or will it help improve the connection
25:02 <Ysjoelfir> it cleans out the ACIDIC contact cleaner.
25:16 <Ysjoelfir> you want your pots to be clean, not eaten away, right? ;)
26:07 <Guest|94543> yea, but shipping times and spending money and having to wait a while for product to come
26:49 <Guest|94543> can you find the alchoal at a hardware store
28:59 <Lord_of_nothing_> good night
29:08 <T3sl4> Ysjoelfir: wtf, i just got two "Charlie"s in FTL (the some-guy-stranded-on-a-planet event)
29:28 <JanePrivate> The TS100 is good, I only solder at one room so portability is lost on me
30:17 <JanePrivate> My luck's bad with that event, always gets my half my crew chewed out
31:13 <Ysjoelfir> sure you can.
31:17 <Ysjoelfir> T3sl4: nice! :D
31:54 <T3sl4> also wow, i had some terrible runs on this ship last night, now i have full crew, good weps, and extra power (zoltans)
32:07 <Ysjoelfir> nice! Kill it!
32:12 <T3sl4> the last run ended spectacularly tho
32:31 <T3sl4> jump to pulsar, zwoom shields go down
32:41 <Ysjoelfir> With you being dead, or you winning?
32:47 <Ysjoelfir> yay?
32:54 <T3sl4> they have 3 crew and med bay, i try boarding (with 3 crew)
33:16 <T3sl4> they have 3 pew pews that never go offline during the battle
33:43 * rust_collector eats stuff
34:09 <T3sl4> i'm down to about 1/4 hp at this point, one of their shots hits my clone bay currently tending to the fallen (3 not-full-health crew vs 3 trained hoomans)
34:21 <T3sl4> a couple more shots and fires, i burst into pieces
35:25 <T3sl4> i tried my best with that build but i just can't figure out the starding weapons (lock and stun bomb) and never got any. i got drone control, which was the right decision at the time, but no help against frikkin lazers
35:41 <T3sl4> it was glorious :D
35:45 <T3sl4> gloriously bad, i mean
36:16 * T3sl4 shrugs, stalks over to inspect rust_collector's eatings
37:16 <Ysjoelfir> It sounds like lots of fun and struggling :) I like it
37:59 <T3sl4> the last win i had was weird. you know how the stealth ships don't start with shields?
38:14 <rust_collector> T3sl4, there is no one else awake here, so just have the rest
38:21 <T3sl4> rests \o/
38:36 <T3sl4> i didn't have enough to buy shields in the first shop i saw, the best i saw was another shield drone
39:08 <T3sl4> so i dragged myself through sector 4 with just two shield drones and a, i forget what else i had, hacking or cloaking?
39:55 <rust_collector> coating
40:33 <T3sl4> cloacaing
40:54 <rust_collector> oh, yes
40:59 <rust_collector> that
43:30 <Ysjoelfir> that sounds difficult
43:56 <T3sl4> nah. they're scalies, they can find a way
44:15 <rust_collector> this stuff makes sense...

07:01 <Halcyon> You guys
07:05 <Ampera> how are you doing Halcyon
11:04 <Halcyon> Not too bad thanks, just organising my collection some more
11:20 <Ampera> Isn't it illegal to own and collect people?
11:49 <Halcyon> Not if they are coloured, we still haven't passed that legislation. :P

28:37 <Halcyon> Kuschelpony, I just used balanced audio
28:44 <Halcyon> Solves everything P
28:44 Join: pa1983 ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
29:36 <Kuschelpony> well... i am also a favorite of balanced, or when it has to be single ended then at least a heavy screened hard grounded coax with minimum coupling impedance...
30:04 <Kuschelpony> but i always wonder whats the theory behind such ehm... ununsual... contraptions
30:15 <Halcyon> Money
31:01 <Kuschelpony> in this case its an DIY forum, thats why i wonder, with commercial offers i would just have called it audiophool milking
33:33 <Halcyon> I hate to admit it but one of my closest friends is an audiophool
34:32 <Halcyon> He has this "high end" sound system with all the requisite braided cabling (including the IEC power cables), but then streams his audio from his phone via Bluetooth
34:36 <Kuschelpony> ouch im sorry for you
34:56 <Halcyon> He apparently can "tell the difference"
35:03 <Halcyon> Although my car stereo sounds better :P
35:15 <Kuschelpony> i was in a previous part of my life servicing Hifi including the ehm lets call it special gear
35:29 <Halcyon> Oh yeh?
36:23 <Kuschelpony> yeah.... XXX....
36:29 <Halcyon> Do tell
37:04 <steve30> maybe you could sell him some kind of bluetooth enhancer?
37:07 <Kuschelpony> i can tell you there IS stuff where you hear fdifferences from different cablings... but not because the 10k� setup is of the absolute best quality....
37:09 <Halcyon> Hahaha
38:10 <Halcyon> The thing is, most people stream highly compressed formats (including him)
38:15 <Halcyon> It makes zero difference
38:28 <Halcyon> You're better off listening to a CD on a less expensive set up
38:52 <Halcyon> I've tried to educate him but he believe he has a golden ear. I just let him believe it.
38:58 <Kuschelpony> right
39:46 <Kuschelpony> the problerm is, when gear is designed "minimalistic" like some advocate "every component damages the music" so they leave out all needed stuff
40:01 <Halcyon> I think part of the problem was, he worked in a "high end" HiFi store many years ago and believed all the marketing.
40:33 <Kuschelpony> and then you get recognicable distortion where every cable has its distinct loss of treble from capacitance, instability and oscilation from opamps running wild, hum and RF noise and all that
40:41 <Halcyon> Yup
40:48 <Kuschelpony> i worked in such a store as well, thats what cured me :)
41:01 <Halcyon> I guess you could go either way :P
41:33 <steve30> How much did his power cable cost?
41:51 <Halcyon> Oh I don't know... anything more than $5 is too much
42:10 Quit: Beni2 ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
42:48 <steve30> I could sell him one of my £300 power cables which will make his bluetooths sound much better.

43:18 <Kuschelpony> and dont forget to put ferrite rings around the Toslink cable
43:29 <Halcyon> That is extremely important
43:37 <Halcyon> You wouldn't want the flux to become unbalanced
44:28 <Kuschelpony> i remember a case where it did make an serious difference, becasuse the toislink was screened and connected in a way where the screen current did mess up the analog circuit inside the receiver...
44:50 <Halcyon> Who the hell would design a system like that?!
45:06 * T3sl4 fluxes Halcyon on one side
45:12 <Halcyon> Heh
45:13 <Kuschelpony> i cant remember the name but an shit expensive "Highend" company
45:14 * steve30 gold plates Halcyon's toslink connectors
46:03 <Kuschelpony> one like these who put vacuum capacitors "for best performance upto the nanosecond level" in an external powersupply connected to the main amp vial 2 meters of cable
47:01 <Kuschelpony> you cant believe that stuff until its on your workbench
47:44 <Kuschelpony> luckily i am now in seriuos industrial service

51:31 <Halcyon> Morning Rusticlé
52:08 <rust_collector> thanks T3sl4 hi Halcyon and mr pony, and so on
52:33 <T3sl4> the so ons
53:02 <rust_collector> I mean those you did not get banned
53:38 <T3sl4> for those did not get banned, weeee saluuuute yooooooooooouuuu
53:52 <Halcyon> Who got banned?
54:06 <Kuschelpony> -?
54:11 <rust_collector> I am not telling
54:26 <Halcyon> Okies
55:17 <T3sl4> it'll have timed off the list too, so you'd have to check the logs if they exist
56:17 <rust_collector> yes, do that "mr i have to know everything"
56:33 <Halcyon> *shrug*
56:38 <rust_collector> hah
57:44 <rust_collector> this was weird. I reheated the stew from last night, and now it does not taste spicy at all, it just burns a little bit
58:26 <T3sl4> ah yes, that happens. it means you can add more ^-^
58:53 <steve30> I'm going to take my Canon XL1 out with my today
59:02 <Halcyon> Where are you going steve30 ?
00:27 <steve30> sheffield
00:52 <Halcyon> What's there?
01:22 <T3sl4> steel. oh wait that was outsourced. sadness then
01:27 <rust_collector> old brick buildings
01:43 <steve30> not sure yet
02:18 <steve30> yes, still got to take some photographs of forgemasters for rust_collector. I'll get round to that eventually.
02:49 <rust_collector> start a riot, but keep your distance, and wash your hands, lol
03:18 <rust_collector> don't worry about that steve30, but thanks
03:36 <T3sl4> anarchy in the uk? say it ain't so!
04:08 <steve30> There's various things I keep meaning to go out and take photos of which I never get round to.

46:46 * rust_collector is blinking a led again. thinking about what else I can do with an arduino with no usb
06:22 <T3sl4> why am i thinking about arduinos
06:46 <rust_collector> he found some in a box
20:34 <T3sl4> he's sorry to hear that
21:56 <rust_collector> he is, but meh, he should use them for something
22:39 <T3sl4> but yeah, they're a fine platform, for what they are. schematics are there, the chip is fine
23:42 <rust_collector> i have only used them for things that talk to the computer, but as I have 2 of them with a dead usb, I should find something they can do on their own
25:28 <T3sl4> aw
26:10 <T3sl4> program one as a AVR-ISP, or uh ST-Link if it's the STM32 kind (Due?), and use that to zap the others
27:10 <T3sl4> get a USB serial adapter and talk that way, that's what i do
27:13 <rust_collector> sure, but should make it do something more interesting than blinking a led
27:20 <T3sl4> blink two leds?
27:52 <rust_collector> oooh
27:56 <T3sl4> blink a whole lot of LEDs, maybe a display, maybe not even an led but an lcd
35:02 <rust_collector> otoh, I should be fixing my brakes. I have been driving to work 9 times without using them now, lol
