43:32 <hsn> its not nice to not understand what u looking at
45:02 * gnif reads the title and decides that this document is written by someone who likes to make up words
45:21 <Ampera> I almost fell asleep reading the abstract

50:15 * Ampera whacks T3sl4 with a box of shelf stable milk
51:21 <T3sl4> hsn: it's a monolithic metal detector
51:30 <T3sl4> Ampera: mm, tetralicious
51:55 <hsn> T3sl4, mono-whaaaaat ?
52:33 <T3sl4> one stone
52:42 * T3sl4 stones hsn, and not in the good way
57:04 <arch> i need to put a crapton of capacitors on my PSU output. it crashes my laptop if i apply a 2A load transient at the lower end of the input voltage range
57:15 <arch> my lab PSU i mean
57:34 <arch> when i apply a load transient, it dips the current rail into CC mode
57:59 <arch> that's the problem with having a 4A CC-CV psu...i need something beefier
59:04 <arch> what's a decent switched mode lab psu that can output 10A or so?
01:16 <arch> let me get the crash waveform. i'll probe the input cap, then apply a 2A transient at 14V input
05:39 <arch> yuh huh...crashes the voltage rail
06:46 <T3sl4> so what, response time to CV/CC operation or something?
07:02 <arch> yeah, it seems to have a very low response time
07:07 <arch> waveform coming up in a min
07:17 <arch> or rather very fast response time to shorts
11:49 <arch> blegh, these oldie lab PSUs aren't that good, are they
12:05 <arch> bulletproof, that's for sure, but not very good at regulating
13:05 <arch> im glad i did this test, because i see some real bad behavior with my GPC-3020 lab psu. voltge is set to 14.5V, but it shoots up to 18V on short-circuit recovery
14:32 <arch> https://i.imgur.com/8hsCQvt.png
14:55 <arch> so what happens: at the point you see the lab PSU voltage rail start to crash, that's where i applied the 2A load transient
16:00 <arch> my sepic converter has a UVLO shutdown at 11V going into a RC filter of 0.1uF, which terminates the LM3478 pulse via the supervisor IC i have onboard
16:12 <arch> if the voltage crashes below 11V
18:12 <arch> im using the standard, 1 foot length (x2) jumper cables from my lab psu, so resistance shouldn't be much. anywho, the voltage rail crashiing leads to my load (a laptop) connected to my sepic, also shutting down (under load, prime95)
19:07 <arch> ftr, the test subject laptop i am using does not have a battery, so fear not for my safety :3
19:55 <arch> it's a frankenstein of a laptop, solely intended for testing out PSUs, and i've not killed it yet after a lot of tough tests on it

21:33 <mnem> mmmmhmmmm... is it still the end of the world...?
21:51 <T3sl4> the light is at the end of the tunnel
21:53 <arch> oh, wait a second, i have some 200V, 4700uF caps around. let me connect them to my PSU output....
21:56 <T3sl4> though it might still be a train coming
22:04 <arch> that should prevent the rail from crashing far enough
22:26 <arch> T3sl4, you mean my PSU is slow?
22:31 <T3sl4> ye
22:38 <arch> note the 700us rise time, that's just charging up a 100uF input cap...
23:08 <arch> and even then, it fucking overshoots by a mile
23:19 <arch> i have it set to 14.5V out, it's putting out 18V for a bit
24:10 <arch> https://www.techedu.com/Instek_Gpc-3020.asp <-- do not buy; see waveform above ^^
24:51 <arch> ugh...see, i would have never noticed this if it wasn't for the UVLO. i thought my PSU was pretty good
24:59 <T3sl4> theres a lot of bad analog circuits out there
25:16 <T3sl4> crack it open and do the same thing, fix the compensation
25:31 <T3sl4> it's probably a traditional pass regulated circuit, not hard to figure out
25:49 <arch> bruv...i can barely compensate a buck converter (with a lot of help). you expect me to comp a linreg?
26:09 <mnem> K... it appears we are still SNAFU. tx, luvya, buh-bye... ;D
27:22 <Ysjoelfir> BUH!
27:26 <arch> indeed

28:52 <arch> welp, back to work...i've been slacking...don't tell my boss
28:53 <Ampera> so I can finally get electrohead his noodles
28:59 <rust_collector> Ok... I got to bed for just a few hours....
29:01 <Ampera> electrohead, btw you wanted 1x 2x and 3x spicy noodles?
29:27 <Ampera> they should have them all, but I'm not sure, if not I'll get you what they have

45:08 <Reg7805> hi
45:59 <Reg7805> is anybody here
46:07 <gnif> nope
46:26 <gnif> is anybody there?
46:34 <rust_collector> well, K is over there --->
46:36 <T3sl4> just nod if you can hear me
46:56 <Reg7805> new to eevblog IRC
47:51 <gnif> sup?
47:58 <rust_collector> what did you do wrong, to end up in a place like this?
48:26 <Reg7805> eevblog server down
48:46 <rust_collector> that was you? cool
48:47 <Simonious> Is this a place to get recommendations on open source automated optical inspection options for PCBAs?
49:16 <gnif> I recommend the Mark 1 eyeball
49:49 <Simonious> yeah, that's the path I'm on now.. want to consider other paths.
50:14 <gnif> you could always use two at once for some depth perception
50:28 <Reg7805> Does any know the siglent sds1104x-e
50:33 <Simonious> :D
50:40 <rust_collector> hire a bunch of asian kids to look at them?

51:04 <Reg7805> i dont why my scope is chopping off the AC sine wave
51:17 <Reg7805> i have set the probe to 10x and the scope
51:47 <Reg7805> i am using the correct voltage horizontal and scale
52:01 Join: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
52:17 <gnif> what are you measuring?
52:37 <Reg7805> the output of the transformer
52:44 <gnif> voltage?
53:06 <Reg7805> AC 11V
53:13 <Ysjoelfir> maybe the voltage of THE transformer is clipped? like basically every real world line voltage is :)
54:07 <gnif> Ysjoelfir, seriously? I have never noted this in Aus
54:29 <rust_collector> meh, you are different down there
54:36 <Ysjoelfir> sure. if you aren't somewhere in the outback you will never have a perfect line voltage
54:57 <Reg7805> the transformer has input voltage of 220V but i am in the UK with 230V AC, will that cause it to be clipped,
55:06 <Ysjoelfir> mind you, I am not talking about like... clipping 20% of the sine wave, more like... a few %
55:12 <K> 3.50
55:32 <gnif> voltage input increase will just be reflected as an increased output voltage
56:14 <Reg7805> yes that correct gnif my transformer is outputting 13V instead of 11V
56:49 <Reg7805> my AC wave just the top and bottom is clipped
56:57 <K> can you make photo of scope screen?
57:16 <K> post it on imgur or somth
57:43 <Reg7805> yes i can take screenshot scope screen, but how do i upload it to IRC
57:55 <Ysjoelfir> https://snipboard.io
58:15 <rust_collector> you host it somewhere else, and give us the link
58:27 <Reg7805> thanks Ysjoelfir
58:35 <Reg7805> one min please
58:40 Join: jaymax ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
59:17 <rust_collector> that is probably for windows people
59:18 <K> just a quick pic with phone will suffice, no need to fuss with "printscreen" button and flash
59:40 <K> rigol should add button "send to imgur"
59:45 <gnif> you say that now, but when you get a 320x240 potato photo...
59:46 <Ysjoelfir> lol
00:42 <jaymax> Commodore 64 photos?
01:10 <rust_collector> syntax error
01:11 <rust_collector> syntax error
01:12 <rust_collector> syntax error
01:13 <rust_collector> syntax error
01:18 <jaymax> IIRC those count as a 320x240 potato.

02:30 <therealazzurro> hey gnif how's the restore going? got some servers already?
02:42 <Reg7805> that is the screenshot of scope screen measuring AC
02:52 <gnif> Dave has opted to wait... so just waiting
03:27 <therealazzurro> wow erm ok.. wait for the original servers to come online?
03:32 <Ysjoelfir> that looks pretty normal imho, if you live in the city with loads of SMPS loading the line
03:48 <K> Reg7805: not great, not terrible
03:53 <Ysjoelfir> Reg7805, let me make a screen of mine for you, just out of curiosity
04:02 <gnif> therealazzurro, yeah
04:35 <gnif> Ysjoelfir, are you sure... it looks a bit yellow to me... it's the wrong colour of electricity
04:42 <Reg7805> thanks Ysjeoflir
04:59 <therealazzurro> has something changed on the chances of them being flooded? the last time we were talking about this, you said that you're going to spin up new servers because of the probability that the original ones are drowning
05:24 <gnif> I said we were looking into it and in the process of arranging it
05:49 <gnif> at the end of the day, Dave makes the final decisions on things, he wants to wait so we wait
06:13 <therealazzurro> ah ok so dave put a stop sign to that route completely for now? no pressure, just wondering
06:32 <gnif> for now.. we do though have options ready to go if he does want to proceed
06:52 <therealazzurro> ok cool, lets see, then what happens :D
07:33 <Kuschelpony> reg7805 just a question, is thius the actual mains voltage (not pretty but somewhat acceptable) or the secondary voltage of your transformer when the rectifier is connected (then its totally normal)
07:35 <Ysjoelfir> gnif oh damn, right, that should be blue! XD
07:45 <Ysjoelfir> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1y8MdGSWvwAOT03sxTd3FBkhcfJeTpSI1/view?usp=sharing Reg7805
08:15 <gnif> your electricity is the wrong colour too!
08:26 <Ysjoelfir> yes!
09:08 <gnif> damn unpredictable rogue electrons
09:26 <Ysjoelfir> regarding to Mr. Ponys questions: that is the secondary from an unloaded 230V - 6V transformer (in my pic, no idea about Reg7805 )
09:58 <Reg7805> Kuschelpony
09:58 <Reg7805> KuschelponyKuschelpony
09:58 <Reg7805> Kuschelpony, the measured ac is on the secondary side of the transformer and it is measured before the half bridge rectifier
10:26 <Kuschelpony> then the flat tops are perfectly fine, its your rectifier which clips them
10:34 <Kuschelpony> and yes ai am here :)
11:32 <Reg7805> Ysjoelfir i see the link, thanks, i thought the AC will be more sine wave
11:42 <Ysjoelfir> nah.
11:58 Join: TheDude ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
12:02 <Reg7805> i am new to electronics
12:14 <Reg7805> so i dont know much
12:22 <TheDude> hey
12:27 <Ysjoelfir> don't ask how shitty it looks after my 5.5kVA isolation transformer that feeds my whole workbench.... xD
12:33 * Ampera hugs TheDude 
12:37 <Ampera> how are you doing TheDude
12:47 <rust_collector> same here. I don't know anything
12:52 <Ampera> also, big news to those who know
12:53 <TheDude> quite alright
13:13 <Ampera> We have now, for the first time ever, had more concurrent users on #eevblog austnet than #eevblog AfterNET
13:13 <TheDude> what news?
13:21 <TheDude> oh
13:28 <TheDude> that's kinda sad
13:30 <Ampera> 70:69
13:37 <TheDude> afternet performs better
13:47 <Ampera> The AfterNET channel has a /lot/ of inactive people though
13:53 <Ampera> we've had more active regulars for a long while
13:59 <Kuschelpony> oh i didnt know there are more channels
14:03 <Ampera> there isn't
14:08 <Ampera> this is the one official channel
14:14 <TheDude> afternet used to be the official one
14:15 <gnif> Ysjoelfir, you're right, I have never noticed that before:
14:15 <gnif> https://pasteboard.co/JWfqs1F.png
14:23 <Ampera> the #eevblog on AfterNET used to be the official channel, but then a split happened and now this is the official channel
14:33 <TheDude> but then Dave moved the official channel to this shitty server
14:36 <Ampera> they were the official for years, so they used to have almost a hundred concurrent users
16:40 <TheDude> gnif, wanna buy some harmonics?
17:09 <Reg7805> gnif, that ac sine wave look's like a waveform
17:28 <Reg7805> triangle waveform
17:29 <Ysjoelfir> lets make a harmonics battle and see who has the worst ones ;P
17:59 <TheDude> most of my equipment is like 100km away :/
18:29 <Ysjoelfir> why do you go away from your equipment? who forced you to do such horrendous things?
18:56 <TheDude> most of my stuff is back at my parents' place
19:08 <TheDude> I have little space for electronics in this apartment
19:22 <Reg7805> guys I have another question, which IRC program do you use?
19:26 <TheDude> hexchat
19:32 <gnif> btw, don't for one second think I am good with electronics... I am a server admin, wannabe ee :)
19:34 <Ysjoelfir> AdiIRC
19:47 <Reg7805> Just the moment i am using austnet client web
19:56 <TheDude> anyhow, I'd need to fix up the apartment some
19:58 <Ysjoelfir> ew, that kiwi IRC thing?
20:14 <TheDude> and only then would a proper workbench get a place in here
20:17 <Reg7805> i think so
20:26 <Reg7805> it is crap
20:28 <TheDude> and I don't see that happening in the near future, because:
20:29 <Ysjoelfir> TheDude: Then hurry up!
20:41 <Ysjoelfir> Reg7805: indeed. get rid of it ASAP before I have to ban you :P
21:19 <Reg7805> i will try the ADIIRC
21:26 <TheDude> 1. can't do work in the apartment with the help of my dad, because you can't easily cross the regional borders within this country RN,
21:53 <TheDude> 2. supply chain of construction materials is shit right now, prices are way up,
22:17 Join: AustUser ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
22:21 <TheDude> 3. other corona-related crap
22:32 <Ysjoelfir> that sounds shitty. ok, then feel free to slow down
23:01 <TheDude> I've had big plans for this apartment around one year ago
23:17 <TheDude> but those kind of had to be put on hold... :/
25:19 <Ysjoelfir> aw. thats shitty as hell.
25:21 <Ampera> vaccines are great
25:32 * Ampera cracks open a cold pfizer with the boys
25:43 <Ysjoelfir> sounds a bit like my plans until I got kicked out by my ex boss after corona started
25:50 <TheDude> gibs :(
26:31 <TheDude> the politician cunts didn't even order the pfizer stuff that was available for us
26:57 <TheDude> they were mostly buying the shit-tier astrazeneca stuff
27:04 <Ampera> by the sounds if it you wouldn't get much anyways
27:08 <Ampera> because we're all using it
27:39 <TheDude> nah, the distribution was supposedly made available based on the population size
27:53 <TheDude> so we'd get a decent share
28:31 <Ampera> Supposedly, even Germany's starting to get sick of the EU's shit with ordering and is talking about going on their own with vaccine acquisition
28:37 <Ampera> you know shit's bad when the germans lose faith in the EU
29:18 <TheDude> hah
29:31 <TheDude> which manufacturer "screwed up" a batch of vaccine recently?
29:57 <TheDude> oh right, johnson&johnson
30:21 <Ampera> Yeah, the news here is even reporting some people just kinda don't even want to get it
30:28 <Ampera> which is not a big deal because most of the vaccine supply here is pfizer
30:38 <Ampera> pfizer is a NY company, so I guess that makes sense
30:41 <TheDude> I have this weird feeling that they probably made a shady deal with some entity
30:52 <TheDude> and had to deliver vaccine ahead of schedule
31:03 Quit: AustUser ([email protected]) Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
31:13 <TheDude> so they "messed up a batch" that they can "write off" to deliver to the customer that paid more
32:11 <Ampera> afaik that's basically the deal with why the US has vaccines and the EU doesn't
32:14 <Ampera> because we just pay more for them
32:50 <Ampera> The US is on a money burning high right now, which is good for the economy like a slurry of heroin, coke, and steroids is good for a bodybuilder, but has some benefits I suppose
33:26 <TheDude> tbh, I kind of started filtering out the news about this stuff
33:48 <TheDude> because I'm exhausted enough of the bad shit day in and day out as it is

35:40 <arch> still get about a 1V drop, but at least it doesn't crash the voltage rail
35:56 <TheDude> arch, what are you doing?
36:21 <arch> TheDude, running that laptop you see there off my SEPIC converter
36:40 <TheDude> neat
36:47 Part: Reg7805 ([email protected]) from #EEVblog
36:50 <arch> it's designed to operate from 11V to 30V, but my lab PSU is too weak without external capacitance
36:57 <arch> it has a 700us transient response time, very slow
37:06 <TheDude> designed to be powered from that 12V battery?
37:11 <arch> so it basically crashes the voltage rail below 8V
37:14 <arch> correct

37:32 <arch> im testing it off my lab PSU first to make sure i wont have fireworks
37:44 <TheDude> reasonable
37:52 <arch> also, i blew out the fuse when i connected it directly to the 12V batt due to inrush current into the 100uF input cap
38:07 <arch> so i need to make a slew limiter/eFuse

45:57 <therealazzurro> I tried using Manjaro (arch fork?) on a notebook and a desktop several times, in the past 2 years or so. Only thing that didn't stop bothering me, was stuttering video and high cpu load when playing youtube videos in 1080p and higher. haswell igp that was and radeon RX 560 as well. tried with firefox, chromium and opera, all the same. any obvious idea? tried proprietary and oss drivers as

48:20 <Reg7805> therealazzurro > have you tried popOS, it should have great compability, becuase i used debian before on my dekstop pc with rx580 graphics card and lots of issues, after swiching popOS no probs.
48:38 <Kuschelpony> hmm im sorry but i dont watch videos so i have no experience here
49:08 <therealazzurro> i have to admit that I didn't try with any other linux distribution, not even the most obvious (because one of the most popular): ubuntu
49:21 <therealazzurro> what is popOS, have to google that
49:48 <therealazzurro> no eevblog videos? what are you doing here? :D
49:56 <arch> therealazzurro, do you have libva drivers installed?
50:23 <jaymax> It seems like the hardware acceleration wasn't enabled in the browsers - which may just be a lower-level package that wasn't installed nor was OOTB.
50:26 Join: old-jo ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
51:00 <Reg7805> arch > good point need have those libva drivers
52:16 <therealazzurro> no idea @libva drivers. will lsmod tell me that?
53:22 <Kuschelpony> mmh
53:31 <therealazzurro> yes, hardware acceleration is a good point, i even went to the effort and compiled chromium myself with some hw acc stuff because i found somewhere that that was disabled due to X reason by default (can't remember). but even after that was compiled in, it was very sluggish. there is some chromium page where you can check the status of the hw acc and it was on, iirc
54:03 <Kuschelpony> just to say i do not recommand Ubuntu for reasons about privacy and other forced stuff, they are going like Micorsoft did with windows
54:14 <Kuschelpony> XUbuntu is a different mix
54:15 <therealazzurro> i absolutely don't like ubuntu
54:29 <Kuschelpony> i liked it until somewhat the 9
54:32 <therealazzurro> would only try it to see whether hw acc is working there
54:44 <therealazzurro> i never liked because of the stupid name to begin with
54:58 <Kuschelpony> for me it was a question about freedom
55:02 <therealazzurro> and then because why use it, just use debian.
55:13 <therealazzurro> and then because of your reasons, they came on top of that
55:25 <Kuschelpony> didnt wanted to start with WinXP
56:03 <therealazzurro> lsmod | grep libva gives me nothing
56:27 <arch> therealazzurro, do the following. install mesa-utils, then run $ glxinfo | grep -i render
56:48 <arch> and also install the package inxi
56:52 <arch> then run $inxi -Gx
57:15 <Ampera> I've found, in terms of distros, the farther you go from the horse's mouth, the worse
57:20 <arch> that will show which video lib you're using. the open source radeon lib sucks butts
57:24 <gnif> `libva*` is not a kernel module
57:29 <Ampera> it's also irritating that distros start to be defined exclusively by the desktop environment they ship with
57:58 <gnif> I think you wanted `dpkg -l | grep libva`
59:48 <arch> ^
59:54 <Reg7805> btw guys i have tried running multsim on linux and it has been working for while, doing some circuits
59:56 <Reg7805> https://snipboard.io/TLYq8D.jpg
00:22 <therealazzurro> ok those tools are all installed
00:22 <Reg7805> but have some black artifacting issues
00:23 <arch> stop being a normie and start using LTSpice
00:57 <arch> therealazzurro, what's the output of $inxi -Gx
00:58 <Reg7805> arch > the college wants us to use multsim
00:59 <therealazzurro> give me a second to fire up irc on the manjaro laptop
01:31 <arch> colleges can eat shit. fuck their stupid ass simulation software curriculum. people need hands on learning
02:12 <TheDude> also nobody ever uses multisim for doing actual work
02:23 <Reg7805> arch i havent build a single circuit in college yet , all theory
02:36 <TheDude> which year are you in?
03:05 <Reg7805> TheDude in the UK, studing btec level 3 year 1
03:18 <Reg7805> but i know more than teachers
03:26 <arch> i paid $1600 for an EE lab course, and they were...using multisim....
03:29 <TheDude> hold on, gonna google that
03:38 <arch> that's when i dropped out and got into IT instead
03:51 <Reg7805> i have been building and repearing stuff since 8 years old

06:06 <Ampera> what else would he have

07:24 <TheDude> how old are you?
07:41 <Reg7805> TheDude 19 years old
08:04 <TheDude> okay, this puts things slightly more into perspective
08:44 <TheDude> fwiw, when I got into college, we hardly got any practical experience in the first couple of years
09:05 <TheDude> I became good at it solely because I did my own stuff as a hobby
09:24 <themostrealazzurro> the libva intel driver is installed
09:31 <themostrealazzurro> i just installed libva utils
09:35 <TheDude> but the theoretical knowledge did tie in very nicely and filled those empty spots of knowledge that I wasn't even aware existed
09:36 <Reg7805> TheDude > yes i have been building my circuits as well not college thought

10:56 <arch> please use paste.ee to put text logs
11:05 <TheDude> and by learning, I don't just mean throwing those s equations back and forth
11:05 <themostrealazzurro> good point thanks
11:09 <themostrealazzurro> almost messed up
11:19 <TheDude> but actually understanding stuff and how it behaves in nature
11:46 <themostrealazzurro> https://paste.ee/p/yGAtg

15:42 <TheDude> :D
15:58 <TheDude> pick a project that you can do, but push your boundaries a little bit
16:23 <TheDude> try to do something that you don't exactly know how to do

20:26 <TheDude> doesn't ltspice support linux natively?
20:36 <Reg7805> no
20:36 <therealazzurro> gotta go for now, cya all later
20:45 <TheDude> bye
20:57 <Reg7805> bye
20:57 <TheDude> I'm not familiar with your level of knowledge
21:12 <TheDude> but I'm saying pick something beyond just copying a circuit off the web
22:20 <TheDude> but that's just my way of learning
22:48 <Reg7805> TheDude > i choose a spcific compoent and i use the datasheet to try diffrrent configs
23:12 <Reg7805> for the specific application
23:45 <Reg7805> i will be building my own virable linear power supply in the summer
24:06 <Reg7805> i have seen the vidoes of dave making power supply
26:09 <Reg7805> i will try to make the 3amp power supply instead of 1amp power supply which dave made, using the LT3083 with pots to control it
29:00 <Reg7805> TheDude > i try my best not to copy circuit of the web, because it dont realy learn anything by copying
29:46 <TheDude> yeah, my point precisely
29:58 <TheDude> also I'd avoid Dave's circuits entirely, because they're usually terrible
30:15 <Ysjoelfir> I agree xD
31:06 <Reg7805> TheDude > just use dave videos as guidence
31:53 <Reg7805> do you reccomend using for 3amp power supply?
32:35 <TheDude> you don't have to tag me every other line you write, I know you're talking to me
33:11 <TheDude> do I recommend building a 3A power supply? sure, it's a decent rating for powering various small circuits on the bench
33:11 <Reg7805> sorry, new to the irc and stuff
34:00 <TheDude> something like 20-30V should be fine for your average electronics experiments
34:47 <Reg7805> what kind of voltage regulators should i be looking at?
35:00 <TheDude> you should be building your own
36:03 <TheDude> https://sites.fas.harvard.edu/~phys191r/Bench_Notes/A1/agilent_e3610a.pdf
36:06 <TheDude> study this first
36:12 <TheDude> it's a good start
38:31 <Reg7805> thanks, it will be very educational, and not super complex

47:26 <Reg7805> not scared (shy)
48:12 <TheDude> hah, I only became active on eevblog after the local Slovenian forum and the people there started to annoy me
48:24 <TheDude> that must have been like 9 years ago
49:29 <arch> crapton of new people in here cuz forums down
49:52 <TheDude> yeah, the latter kinda sucks
50:04 <xrunner> Waiting patiently. I got pics to post in the TEA thread that will help untold millions of people, but I guess they'll have to wait LOL
50:47 <Watcher> the 73 users is a lot for this irc
52:06 <Reg7805> i like the IRC, good to talk with you guys
54:12 <TheDude> nice to have you here
54:30 <TheDude> on an unrelated note
54:46 <TheDude> I got two Egyptian guys working as subcontractors at work
55:02 <TheDude> they're supposed to write documentation for our code
55:10 * hierbabuena wants to change the topic to "EE given stuck in WebNX canal"
55:18 <TheDude> we had two teams conferences with them yesterday and today
56:03 <TheDude> apparently they don't know a thing about the tools they're supposed to be using to produce the documentation -.-
56:42 <TheDude> and I'm gonna have to be the guy that's gonna have to babysit them
58:05 <Reg7805> thats strange they write the code but cant write documentation, even at the college i have been tought how to write documentation
58:37 <TheDude> they're not writing the code
58:41 <TheDude> we are
58:53 <Reg7805> my bad
59:16 <TheDude> but often times, there is little time to actually do things properly and document everything, because we're jumping from project to project
59:24 <Reg7805> but whats the point haveing them if your going to endup babysitting them
59:38 <TheDude> we're understaffed, we have too many projects going on at the same time
00:12 <TheDude> the boss that hired them thinks they're going to be fairly independent
00:12 <Reg7805> ok i understand
00:25 <TheDude> also they happen to be working at the company where he previously worked
00:35 <TheDude> so he's basically providing work to his old buddies
01:25 <TheDude> also the expectations for the documentation are rather different to what we were used to doing
02:00 <TheDude> we're now trying to have the whole software platform documented in Enterprise Architect
02:17 <TheDude> and doing things properly in that thing takes a shitload of effort
02:30 <TheDude> basically time which we currently just don't have
03:46 <Reg7805> well, lucky the boss even hirred somebody to do work, so much work for understaff company
04:55 <Reg7805> the same happens with my mother running a large gift shop with 3 poeple for the 6 days of the week, with a lot of work
05:14 <TheDude> it would be better if we actually subcontracted competent people
05:22 <arch> TheDude, are you familiar with slope compensation on PSUs?
05:22 <gnif> hierbabuena, I feel like that little backhoe that was trying to free the ship
06:10 <TheDude> arch, I'm aware of what it is, but haven't actually done anything in relation to it
06:29 <Reg7805> the boss does not want to hire more staff becuase they want max profit
06:38 <Reg7805> and minimum pay
06:39 <TheDude> nope
06:45 <arch> i was wondering if this equation also applies to SEPIC converters for D > 50%: https://i.imgur.com/uI8cBlV.png
06:57 <TheDude> you're thinking of small companies where the boss is the one that is paying the stuff
07:19 <TheDude> I'm in a massive corporation where the boss that hires them doesn't actually have to care about paying them
08:15 <TheDude> yeah, sorry, can't help you with that
08:24 <TheDude> but I do know one person that might be able to
08:33 <TheDude> T3sl4 \o
09:13 <Reg7805> no this gift shop is large company with 150 shops around the UK, the higher management does not care about their staff at all
09:45 <TheDude> apologies, I thought you were talking about my boss
10:18 <T3sl4> arch: just write out the waveforms yourself and derive it from first principles
11:15 <arch> waveforms as in what the slope of the current during off time?
12:16 <Reg7805> so will you be endup guiding other poeple to their own work
12:44 Join: ratstar ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
13:37 <TheDude> not 100% sure, but very likely, yes
15:49 <ratstar> I saw on the internet that FPGA's can be 10's of thousands of dollars, and so can GPU's but I never spent more than $1000 on a gpu so I never knew.
16:04 <ratstar> like buying diamonds
16:13 <Reg7805> it is shame that a lot poeple dont care about trying to complete their own work without having poople baby sitting them, i wish the best luck of completing the work and your boss or the does not drive you crazy.
17:23 <TheDude> ty
17:46 <Reg7805> I will be back after 30 min, need to eat, good talking with you.
18:27 <Watcher> rastar, yes there are multi thousand dollar gpu's for server and workstation use
23:12 <ratstar> I used to think there wasnt enough processing power for ai, because it needs so much, but if u managed to get an expensive set of FPGAS, it could be an enormous amount of power that could make quite a smart robot
23:50 <ratstar> so weve got tonnes of logic power. but they ask a pretty penny for it.

27:26 Nick: User_ is now known as Wes44
27:28 <ratstar> I agree. I've used consumer grade GTX gpus, they are fast, but I need something faster now. and I was going to resort to doing the whole thing from scratch. :) But turns out maybe FPGA's might be able to work for me
28:51 <T3sl4> or just ordinary CPUs. a raspberry pi is seriously powerful for embedded applications. most people use an incredibly small fraction of the capability, or familiar applications that might not be appreciated as such (e.g. basic internet browsing, video decoding, gaming)
29:05 <Watcher> and if you need to rack mounted there are prebuilt rackmount fpga servers
29:42 <ratstar> A rack of cheaper fpgas would be more cost efficient than buy one big daddy, if its anything like GPU's.
30:20 <Watcher> and linux is in my expecience a lot more light weight then windows so use that first if you need more power
30:21 <ratstar> T3sl4 haha!!
31:05 <gnif> it's not exactly hard to be more lightweight then windows though :)
31:07 <T3sl4> big FPGAs are, as far as i know, mainly used by big telecom and IC dev users
31:19 <T3sl4> they're expensive not so much because of capability, as because the quantity is small
31:50 <ratstar> 2 billion CLB's as aposed to 2 thousand is a big dif.
32:29 <ratstar> $10,000 compared to $200
32:34 <ratstar> aud
32:38 <Watcher> high freqeuntcy traders and some miner use also fpga's
33:13 <ratstar> Once u get the power, u have to know how to use it too. =)
33:39 <hierbabuena> gnif, you're awake, oh gosh]
33:46 <TheDude> T3sl4, also yield in IC production
33:57 <T3sl4> yeah
34:01 <TheDude> the bigger the silicon die, the more likely that it's going to have defects
34:14 <T3sl4> die size is about the same as anything, top tech GPUs, CPUs, IGBTs you name it
34:31 <gnif> hierbabuena, such is the world of server management
34:35 <electrohead> Ampera: yeah man, if you can get those three, that would be cool
34:36 <TheDude> big shit in general is expensive
34:37 <T3sl4> mechanical and thermal limits, and to some extent defect rate, dominates
34:40 <electrohead> o/
34:48 <TheDude> but even moreso in the production if integrated circuits :D
34:57 <T3sl4> if they made them in quantity you'd expect them to cost like GPUs, basically 1/10th or less their current price
35:34 <T3sl4> and they do lots of things to mitigate yield, FPGA and Flash they can just knock out defective blocks
35:47 <ratstar> GPU market is getting illogical, the 90 at the end of the GTX number used to stand for two GPU's on the same board, and now it doesnt for some reason.
35:50 <T3sl4> GPUs similarly, CPUs they can disable some features, or whole cores at worst
36:25 <coppice> T3sl4: you might be surprised how reasonable the price of large FPGAs can be, if you are a serious buyer
37:40 <hierbabuena> gnif, i understand, I worked in the telecom business for quite a while, if someone calls you on your birthday it is because something is down
38:24 <coppice> if someone calls you on your birthday you know they are your enemy
38:47 Quit: arch ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
40:23 <TheDude> welp, nice talking to you all
40:24 <ratstar> anyhow got more to learn, FPGAs look cool, have to see what its exactly going to be like for me yet tho.

01:19 <Reg7805> Question > is it okay to have 7805 and 7812 on one secondary side voltage AC with a full brdige rectifier circuit or is it beter off having each voltage regulator on sepecrate secondary side voltages with their bridge rectifing circuit?
01:22 <brayden> most clients let you hide joins/parts
02:27 <Ysjoelfir> brayden: that is true. mine does as well. but what does that matter?
03:13 <brayden> idk solves the problem here I think
03:17 <brayden> I don't get bothered by joins/parts tbh
03:30 <brayden> probably from sitting in half dead channels endlessly
05:15 <Ysjoelfir> you have to take into account that this channel is not dead, most of the time. it can be VERY active actually with several people talking at the same time. then it can get really anoying and irritating if you get flooded with join/part messages.
05:51 <Ysjoelfir> also, not everyone has a client that hides join/part, as well as others who don't want to hide it
06:16 <brayden> yeah not saying this one's dead. I'm in a whole bunch and sadly some are just join/parts for days
06:46 <Ysjoelfir> we actually have join/part spammers from time to time, too, so there is an (inofficial?) rule that this should be avoided :)

12:34 <electrohead> not all clients have an internal /knock command, it seems
13:02 <Ysjoelfir> only works if you aren't allready on the channel as I read
13:59 <electrohead> ahh, so is that supposed to be a server side only thing?
14:56 <Ysjoelfir> its used to "knock" onto invite only channels as I read
15:06 <Ysjoelfir> like "OY! LET ME IN!"
15:07 <brayden> yeah, it sends a notice to the ops that someone knocked
18:02 <Ysjoelfir> electrohead, set +i on your chan for a second
19:18 <electrohead> ok, set
19:30 <Ysjoelfir> i knocked

20:30 <Ysjoelfir> oh come on
20:43 <bdunham8> Why am I banned again?
21:10 <Ysjoelfir> because your kiwi IRC starts with join/quit spams and no matter how often electrohead and I warned you you didn't fix that
21:10 <electrohead> were you parting/joining a lot?
21:35 <electrohead> ahh, ok yeah
21:38 <bdunham8> Not that I'm aware of...
21:46 <electrohead> I'm trying to keep track, Ysjoelfir, lol
22:18 <Ysjoelfir> I can unban your other IP, if you take a normal IRC client, please. that kiwiirc thing is just not working for idling.
22:22 <electrohead> Ysjoelfir: I'm wondering if maybe it's a bug? or, just shitty internet, perhaps? I've noticed a lot of people do that, whereas others don't
23:01 <Ysjoelfir> maybe, which would make me want to ban kiwiIRC in general even more ;P

30:56 <brayden> yeah adiirc is pretty decent
30:59 <Chipguy> So everybody is here since the forum is down huh...
31:03 <brayden> I remember using it ages ago. I think I stopped because of high memory usage
31:24 <electrohead> Chipguy: quite many of us were here already, but yes, since the site/forums went down, we've had a minor influx of people :p
31:36 <Ysjoelfir> mine uses 55.9MB atm. I'm fine with that, thats roughly 100 times less than opera uses
32:02 <brayden> I seem to remember it being in 100s of MBs
32:05 <brayden> but this was ages ago so who knows
32:11 <brayden> does it have a dark theme?
32:14 <Erhard> irssi uses 10MB here ;-)

36:15 <brayden> Yeah I've got 32GB in this system. I think last time I ran adiirc I didn't even have a job
36:22 <brayden> I think the computer I had back then had 6gb of RAM
36:28 <electrohead> total 162404K
36:40 <electrohead> and that's with practically all of my scripts enabled and running
39:12 <electrohead> Erhard: nothing wrong with ham radio :)
39:43 <toghy> I got E6400 with 4gb ram old stuff
39:51 <brayden> geez
39:54 <Erhard> electrohead: No doubt. Fun stuff, and for those of us where electronics is not a job, but a hobby, it gives you someplace to focus your energies.
40:22 <electrohead> I'm only 34, and have my call sign. some of us younger folk still follow it :P
40:30 <electrohead> two call signs, actually
40:34 <Erhard> I'm "only" 49

40:59 <electrohead> that's not too old, lol
41:00 <Erhard> Average as is still probably 55
41:16 <electrohead> I just received my ARRL QST magazine in the mail, yesterday
41:26 <electrohead> it's mostly pictures of old people in there, lol
41:47 <Erhard> I wish QST was more technical like the old issues. I sound like an old man, but I have only been doing ham radio for about 5 years.

44:15 <Erhard> I used to use bitchx on NetBSD mac68k
44:50 <electrohead> heh, yeah. I currently only have my technical class, but will be studying probably later this year hardcore to get my general class by new years
44:56 <toghy> electrohead : yep old stuff almost nobody remember
45:00 Join: bdunham7 ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
45:44 <Erhard> electrohead: I studied it, and actually learned the stuff, but when I started taking practice tests I found that I had also memorized most of the answers.
46:14 <Erhard> So when I took the tests I worked through the problems, but in the back of my head I knew the answer already. So I just compared them to make sure they matched.
46:38 <Erhard> The old guys didn't get to see the questions, and they had an oral interview with the examiner.
46:51 <Erhard> That's why so many of the old guys really know their stuff.
48:18 <bdunham7> @Ysjoelfir can you unban my old IP so that I can turn off my VPN? I feel like a burgler sneaking in...
48:27 <Ysjoelfir> I already did

50:38 <bdunham8> Yep! Thanks. It feels like 1992.
50:53 <toghy> :)
51:02 <Ysjoelfir> I have no idea how 1992 felt.
51:14 <Ysjoelfir> my earliest memory is probably from 95
51:20 <Erhard> I graduated uni in 92
51:33 <Ysjoelfir> I was 2 in 92
51:37 <Erhard> I was 20
51:40 * Erhard shrugs
51:51 <Ysjoelfir> I feel like I was 20 in 92
52:17 <Erhard> I only gets worse
52:19 <Erhard> ;-)
52:43 <Ysjoelfir> Then stop doing that :P
53:11 <Erhard> I meant the perception of time.
53:26 <toghy> so I didn't have struggle to connect :) 56kbps if you have good luck
53:51 <brayden> never got 56k, not once
53:53 <brayden> best I think was 48
53:59 <Reg7805> I have just started studying electronics, this year i have long way to go.
54:28 <Erhard> Reg7805: We are all always learning.
55:01 <Erhard> toghy: I remember redialing BBSes to try to get 1200 baud instead of 300 baud.
55:03 <Reg7805> yes that is correct, i learn something new everyday
55:04 <coppice> but are we learning faster than we are forgetting?
55:10 Join: arch ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
55:11 <toghy> ok I need to go I will left screen here because I like channel :)
55:17 <Erhard> coppice: Oh, good point. I worry about that sometimes.
55:52 <Erhard> toghy: My dad would make me connect to Compuserve at 300 baud because it was cheaper and he said I couldn't read at 1200 baud.
56:17 <Erhard> So I had to prove to him I could read faster than 300 baud.
57:20 <Erhard> Anybody know if the cheap audio transformers on eBay (not the super small ones like for telephones, but the slightly bigger yellow ones) are any good?

04:55 <therealazzurro> re - what did i miss
04:58 <Erhard> #!
05:01 <Reg7805> i have bunch of those yellow wrapping 220V AC transformers, which i have ripped out of scrap electrronics and amplifiers. I think a lot of the cheap audio amplfier use the cheap transformers. I use those transformer for alot things and they semmed to be fine some of them do homming noise. Long as there is not a lot of eddy currents running around and they use sheet iron core.
05:17 Part: mnem ([email protected]) from #EEVblog
05:38 <Erhard> Thx. I am looking for audio isolation with a range of 20Hz-15kHz minimum
06:15 <therealazzurro> appearently i got hw acceleration to work on my haswell notebook with linux, if anyone who was helping me with this is still here
06:21 <Reg7805> but im a only student, there might be person than me, that will know more about transformers.
06:25 <bdunham8> 20Hz on a small, cheap transformer is unlikely, and you have to know if they are air-gapped or not.
06:35 Quit: arch ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving
06:53 <Erhard> bdunham8: Ture... 50Hz would likely suffice. Definiely need air-gapped.
07:12 <bdunham8> Got a link?
07:14 <Erhard> Just trying to avoid the $120 Jenzen transformers.
07:47 <bdunham8> 1:1 voltage?

08:11 <Erhard> Something like this: https://tinyurl.com/3da3avnf
08:18 <therealazzurro> shen zhen
08:35 <Erhard> Audio isolation. Either
08:46 <Erhard> possibly with s step up or down for impedance matching.
09:02 <Reg7805> I usally use the trodial transformers which has less electro-magnetic fileds and most audio amps use it
10:57 <Reg7805> the trodial transformer is better for audio becuase it intruduces less interference into the audio in my experience
12:06 <Erhard> Certainly contains the flux better.
12:24 <Erhard> I am tlaking about a transformer to literally pass line level audio, BTW, not for a PSU.
12:25 * electrohead attaches a coffee IV to everyone in the channel
12:36 <bdunham8> OK, you're looking at low-level signal, not output-level. Those might work, you'd have to try them. If they aren't air-gapped, you might need a coupling capacitor. You pay your money and you take your chances!
13:00 <Erhard> Yeah, and those cost more than I think One Hung Lo should cost.
13:13 <Erhard> If they wer elike 5$ I wouldn't think twice
13:38 <Reg7805> no there are quite expensive actually
14:05 <Erhard> Hence my apprehension.
14:09 <Reg7805> usually better ripping out of stuff :)
14:32 <Erhard> Yeah, if I had that sort of thing someplace, which I don't. I am talking to a guy who does though.
14:33 <Reg7805> sorry, erchard
14:47 <Reg7805> just get confused over this irc chat layout
15:08 <Reg7805> sometimes accidntally skip lines that i need to read
16:36 <Erhard> No worries.
17:48 <Reg7805> you could make your own, not difficult actually, i was supprised when my first audio transformer
18:07 <Erhard> Yeah, I had considered that. Easy enough to wind.

16:29 <Halcyon> Morning all
17:08 <therealazzurro> my UTC+02:00 is saying good night all :P but good morning, anyways
17:16 <rust_collector> morning mr morning guy
17:18 <anton> its 01:15 for me
18:18 <rust_collector> same here.
19:19 <electrohead> hey rust_collector
19:33 <therealazzurro> also I'm wondering why he doesn't want gnif to setup the stuff somewhere else - is it because he doesn't want to offload that metric crapton of work on gnif because he may be a volunteer (idk) or is it cause he would have to pay gnif quite some money which he isn't ready to spend (yet)...
19:59 <rust_collector> WOOHOO! mr head replied to me, my life is complete, I should go to bed
20:00 <therealazzurro> (in case gnif is not a volunteer)
20:43 <rust_collector> I wonder why you think so much about this. it will maybe be fixed, or not, at some time.
21:57 <therealazzurro> i'm wondering because i for my self couln't sleep a single night if i knew one of my services was down xD and I'm envying dave for not giving much of a sh*t (seemingly) :D
22:43 <rust_collector> you should try, you can learn not giving a fuck, if you give it some time
23:17 <rust_collector> if you work for a company that gives you a number, and not use your name, that is a good start also
24:02 <therealazzurro> oh dont get me wrong, company and work stuff I care as long as i'm getting paid for my time
24:19 <therealazzurro> i was talking about my personal stuff
25:14 <rust_collector> stop that. you will still get paid. worst case, you get promoted. And yes, I get that. but the workplace is probably the best place to work on your no-care
25:54 <therealazzurro> i once was kinda my own small company and uptime and reliability was one of the most important things for me, that's what I was talking about..
26:03 <rust_collector> sure
26:06 <therealazzurro> haha i only care in a very healthy way, no worries
27:14 <therealazzurro> other people's problems are their's, not mine, that's very healthy to give an example
27:22 <therealazzurro> anyways, going to bed now, good night, all
27:47 <electrohead> rust_collector: lol, you goof :P
27:54 <electrohead> goodnight o/

22:14 <gnif> thanks guys
22:19 <gnif> bdunham7, no :)
22:34 <Halcyon> Now even more of a reason to get you out of the house and buy you that beverage :P
22:52 <gnif> we are still in a degraded state though, so expect a bumpy ride over the next few days
23:19 <electrohead> I imagine the bandwidth influx may slow a few things up?
23:23 <electrohead> or, will that be ok?
23:42 <bdunham7> Is it running one someone's laptop? :)
24:38 <electrohead> no :P
25:18 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: The server is now running new hardware (maybe the old box was water damaged?) Dual Xeon 2620V2 vs older dual L5630 Presumably they'll upgrade the other redundant box too to match.

28:00 <gnif> electrohead, we should be able to cope with the traffic spike
28:13 <gnif> they upgraded the server
28:29 <bdunham7> I actually got a whole circuit board laid out whilst EEVBlog was comatose. Perhaps the occasional outage isn't so bad...
28:46 <gnif> now watch the numbers in here fall off again
29:01 <electrohead> heh
29:21 <electrohead> well, a lot of the users in this channel were here, before the outage :p
30:40 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: The EEVblog servers ARE BACK! Huge thanks to @HostFission for handling this. Thanks to @GorillaServers for prioritising the request and upgrading the boxes. Can't imagine the number of boxes they had to check & bring back online. https://t.co/f5R3dIAFKT
34:42 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: However I can confirm it is quite slow, so please bare with us, the server is operating in a degraded state. The forum is not its usual speedy self yet.
36:34 <bdunham7> Just curious what the 'degraded state' is? Is it because there's only one? Or something else?
36:49 <electrohead> only one server is being used right now
37:58 <bdunham7> I'll stop poking it then. I might get some more work done!
38:28 <gnif> as much as can be done has been done now
38:44 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Retweet: HostFission: @eevblog Should be good once the caches warm up :)
38:49 <gnif> there are still down routes at GorillaServers that are preventing our boxes communicating
39:44 <gnif> when this is fixed, I expect things to go a little haywire as the servers will try to sync up, and fail as GS moved us onto new hardware
40:06 <gnif> thus the bumpy ride part :)
40:26 <gnif> speakig of which, 502...
41:38 <bdunham7> 502 has always been an occasional issue with the forum.
42:07 <gnif> it's just a generic error for one of about 10 things that can break
42:28 <gnif> in this instance it's just the peak loads running us out of PHP processes
42:45 <gnif> if we had both servers up we would be fine

22:04 <Halcyon> Netware was used by the admin office
23:07 <MrMobodies> what do you think I should do with the rats that are caught
23:13 <MrMobodies> set them free in a field
23:24 <MrMobodies> or put them in a cage to domesticate?
23:55 <Halcyon> Feed them to a big snake?
24:23 <MrMobodies> I see find a field where they are known to be snakes
24:29 <Halcyon> :)
25:04 <MrMobodies> to them the rats would be like snacks to the snake
25:04 <electrohead> lol
26:32 <Halcyon> I like snakes and spiders, as long as they stay outside and away from me
27:03 <MrMobodies> I have some spiders in the utility room, they stay out of the way or they get put in a pot and shoved outside
27:22 <MrMobodies> I think they are money spiders
27:37 <Halcyon> I hear the magpies outside, BRB
27:48 <MrMobodies> ... Magged pies
28:13 <electrohead> birds
28:18 <electrohead> they want food
28:20 <electrohead> and NOW
28:23 <electrohead> hahaha
28:37 <MrMobodies> I am looking forward to hearing them caw at the new hens
28:51 <MrMobodies> that they brought next door

42:45 <steve30> The music is 'Friends Forever' from Smartsound
43:12 <Halcyon> It's just missing some classic 80's and 90's transitions
43:22 <Halcyon> Like a wipe, checkerboard, barn doors etc...

16:23 <steve30> hi
17:10 <doggyrat> i have to confess that i am not a real nerd , more a kind of high boon or high noob
18:05 <doggyrat> i started working with arduino and raspberry recently and as i do not have any technical background my progresses are very slow
18:54 <T3sl4> booooo
18:58 <T3sl4> out! out!
23:16 <steve30> I never got the hang of arduino programming
25:40 <anton> its really easy, there is a library for everything so you dont have to write any actual code
27:21 <steve30> yeah, that makes it easier
28:29 <doggyrat> i do agree with you anton, that is what i do i just adapt the code to my needs or i try to adapt that code to my needs
29:12 <T3sl4> it's not quite as basic as... BASIC
29:19 <T3sl4> but nearly as easy
31:48 <doggyrat> at the moment i do work on setting the lights on a led stripe and trying to declare functions to outsource each task
32:49 <anton> ws2812 led stripe?
33:43 <doggyrat> yes, i did buy 5m from aliexpress for about 25 Aus$

47:07 <T3sl4> multisim lul
47:11 <arch> ^
47:22 <T3sl4> i mean, i've used it, it's usable
48:15 <T3sl4> it's better for sim than pcb, maybe it's standard in academic "industry"
48:37 <T3sl4> or more likely academics where NI has put in the promotional offerings
48:58 <Reg7805> yes it useable but the compoent database is missing a lot of components and the footprints are hard to find
