00:00:38 <K> did look for a ready-made fixture pallet, but those are in USA and paying for shipping a piece of alu across ocean does not spark joy.
00:01:23 <rust_collector> shipping anything less than a container of stuff from the us does not

00:36:36 <Reg7805> hello everyone
00:37:27 <Reg7805> i have something to share > https://snipboard.io/GSENnh.jpg
00:37:39 Join: Guest69 ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
00:37:54 <Reg7805> this is student from the collge studying engineering
00:38:12 <K> he dumb
00:38:13 <Reg7805> bloody free energy youtube crap
00:38:28 <rust_collector> yeah, that would take some time, and loads of money
00:38:52 <Reg7805> impossible
00:39:34 <rust_collector> nope, it would be easy to use loads of time and money on that
00:39:36 <K> lots of time and money
00:39:36 <Lemon> ayeee just received my "e-writing board"
00:40:31 <Reg7805> great project to burn money on :)
00:40:43 <Reg7805> this is sad
00:40:50 <rust_collector> I got a crankshaft, and bearings today. time to bring the scale out to the garage, and get to balancing things
00:41:43 Quit: Guest69 ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
00:44:55 <Reg7805> i havent found anymore free energy in his project yet
00:45:22 <rust_collector> that is not important
00:45:31 <Lemon> nice motor btw lol
00:45:46 <Lemon> I really wonder why nobody built one yet
00:46:06 <rust_collector> they did, but did not get enough money to fund it
00:47:26 <Lemon> ha yes its really expensive
00:47:36 <Lemon> it generates free energy but it cost infinite money
00:47:59 <rust_collector> infinite³
00:48:06 <Reg7805> need to start building my fusion reactor
00:48:27 <rust_collector> hmm, how is that going down there in france?
00:48:38 <rust_collector> I look it up every few years
00:48:54 <rust_collector> last time, they had the floor ready, I think
00:49:36 <Lemon> in france ? ho well
00:49:44 <Lemon> idk, im not looking up either

00:50:05 <Reg7805> a british company is claming they have it running 2025 if i remember correct
00:52:32 <rust_collector> ok, that was a crappy video
00:53:01 <Lemon> fusion reactors ? I heard more about 2040 I think
00:54:15 <Reg7805> or i think it was nuclear fission
00:55:13 <Reg7805> i looked it up looks like 2040 but everywere is diffrent > it think all the artciles are copy paste

01:01:27 <Lemon> yeah because they have no idea
01:01:38 <Lemon> and journalists ask them "when ????"
01:04:21 <Lemon> lol im really happy about that tablet thingie
01:04:37 <Lemon> im sure my mother will want one
01:11:24 Quit: Guest69 ([email protected]) Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…
01:14:13 <Lemon> ha, no fluke 8800a for me
01:14:32 <Lemon> another guy checking "online paiement + delivery" that infact dont want to send it/be paid online
01:18:42 <rust_collector> arrrgh, I got the wrong bearings... or crank, depending on how you see it
01:19:43 <rust_collector> so, todays project turned to finding some kind of 32 bit linux for the old box ouot in the garage
01:23:19 <K> that is old
01:24:18 <rust_collector> uh, yes
01:24:30 <rust_collector> core duo
01:25:02 <rust_collector> I am thinking about putting a core2duo in it, but in one way, I like its crappiness
01:26:06 <Lemon> hmm I remember a distro that was fitting on a floppy disk
01:26:11 <Lemon> a 1.4mb one, that is
01:26:17 <Lemon> colibri ?
01:26:18 <rust_collector> 1.44, yes
01:26:28 <rust_collector> colibri is not linux, I think
01:26:48 <rust_collector> but I think the old dsl maybe fit a floppy
01:32:05 <Lemon> I still need to get a proper breadboard, digikey wants a TVA number for prepaid custom fees
01:32:09 <Lemon> so I couldnt order
01:32:56 <Ysjoelfir> just type in there "none"?
01:33:09 <Ysjoelfir> or even better, put your general tax number in there
01:33:34 <K> core2duo is 64 bit at least
01:33:57 <rust_collector> it is quite a bit more snappy too.
01:34:07 <K> prolly yea
01:34:19 <Lemon> I tried, but you get a list of registered entreprises
01:34:22 <Ampera> rust_collector, looks like debian still has 32-bit support
01:34:29 <Lemon> I thought about putting a random one, but well
01:34:31 <Ampera> archlinux32 is a thing, but it's not the best ever
01:34:31 <Lemon> im not a fan :>
01:34:32 <rust_collector> it does
01:34:51 <Lemon> and I dont have a general tax number
01:36:01 <Ysjoelfir> https://img.memecdn.com/I-am-not-a-BIG-FAN_o_25018.jpg this is lemon
01:36:14 <Lemon> :>
01:36:43 <Lemon> im thinking about making my own dupont wires, with silicone wire etc
01:36:44 <Ysjoelfir> and why don't you have a tax numer? you are a person, aren't you? oO
01:36:54 <Lemon> yes ? but I mean, we dont have that here
01:37:00 <Ysjoelfir> strange
01:37:00 <Lemon> how does it looks ?
01:37:05 <Lemon> maybe its called differently
01:37:42 <rust_collector> up here we have "person number" it is the birth date, and some numbers on the end
01:38:16 <Ysjoelfir> yep, you have that here as well, and if you send in a tax.... thing, you get a real tax number
01:38:19 <Lemon> yes thats our social number
01:38:47 <rust_collector> I think we just use that for everything, lol
01:38:48 <Lemon> its used in pharmacies for example, or for various social aids
01:39:02 <Lemon> but I never heard it was used as a tva number
01:39:12 <Lemon> to get a tva number you need to own a firm here
01:39:18 <Lemon> a firm or whatever is it called in english
01:41:35 <Lemon> anyway
01:41:42 <Lemon> I see you can buy kits of dupont connectors

01:41:58 <Ampera> I thought you said you can buy kits of donuts
01:41:58 <Lemon> but can you find "quality" ones, not the ones that comes with cheapo wires ?
01:41:59 <Ampera> :/
01:42:11 * Ampera makes a Lemon jelly doughnut
01:43:03 <Lemon> a yes the "intracommunautaire" thingie, I knew about it, thats indeed what you get when you have a buisness
01:43:13 <Lemon> a jelly donut heh
01:43:32 <Ysjoelfir> they wrote you can get that free of charge. so... just apply for one? maybe you get that as a private person as well
01:44:35 <Lemon> free of charge if you are registered at the thing that list buisnesses
01:44:44 <Lemon> well its "possible" if you are listed there
01:44:51 <Ysjoelfir> then get listed! :D
01:45:01 <Lemon> but I wont create a buisness for that dude xd
01:45:04 <Lemon> its not that easy
01:45:09 <Ysjoelfir> is it not?
01:45:26 <Ysjoelfir> over here we just go to the local office, pay 22 euros and boom, you're a business
01:45:30 <Lemon> nah, I will have to fullfill tons of paper, probably pay for some stuff here and there, get insurance and so on
01:45:40 <Ysjoelfir> ew
01:45:51 <Lemon> yeah well even if it was 22 euros, I'd rather pay the 25 euros custom fees :>
01:46:08 <Lemon> or maybe not, if I have to use it multiple times
01:46:10 <Lemon> ho well
01:46:35 <Ysjoelfir> ok, I buy you that breadboard and send it over the next time I order on digikey for a small fee ;P
01:47:55 <Lemon> thats very nice of you, but I doubt it will be worthwhile, shipping wise :/ buuuut, you still need to give me that list of things you want to sell :>
01:48:11 <Ysjoelfir> yeah, that will sadly take more time
01:48:17 <Lemon> and you know how easy it is to create needs for me XD
01:48:36 <Ysjoelfir> I should consider making some needs, erm, create the list quickly
01:48:51 <Lemon> hehe :>
01:49:16 <Lemon> yeah those days im getting stuff from my big list of wantedthingies, and add more stuff, aswell
01:49:28 <Lemon> I still got some cash from the gtx 1080
01:53:34 Join: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
01:55:52 <Lemon> farnell got the twin industries kit, for 46 euros
01:57:01 <Lemon> 60, it was without taxes
01:57:04 <Lemon> damn
01:57:23 <Lemon> and its not even in stock, anyway
01:58:30 <Lemon> and damn, 10 euros for a 10 jumper pack !
02:03:43 <Ampera> Lemon, btw, at some point I will be moving the ZNC over to the new server and you might get kicked off it. When I do, it should only be a few minutes interruption at most
02:04:05 <Lemon> ho noooooooooo
02:04:19 <Lemon> how will I do during those few minutes ??? :(
02:04:31 <Ampera> I have a few more things I need to do before I start moving stuff, but it might all be done by this evening (my time)
02:04:53 <Lemon> im joking, no worries :>
02:30:50 Join: arch ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
02:36:43 <rust_collector> Lemon you will be on ali, so... don't worry
03:16:24 <Ysjoelfir> you can buy lemons on ali?
03:24:13 <Ampera> if you want month old lemons in a month
03:36:17 <Lemon> lol so the fluke guy ofc said "im not sending it sorry" as expected, I tell him "ok then please cancel the trade" (as he accepted it) he send me a message "I cancel the trade, cordially blabla"
03:36:28 <Lemon> dude I know you cancel it, the website doesnt x d
03:40:11 <Lemon> and I won a nice kit I bidded on a week ago, on ebay, of mueller crocodile clips
03:40:28 <Lemon> 6 small pure copper ones, and like 10-12 bigger ones of two different types
03:40:42 <Lemon> for 8 euros delivered, thats neat, the price of one is 5 euros
03:40:55 <Lemon> I'll be able to make some nice test leads with them
03:43:09 <Ysjoelfir> Lemon, I am watching a documentation about napoleon. what do you, as a legitimate frenchman, thing about that guy? is he your hero?
03:43:35 <Ysjoelfir> documentary? whatever. a "movie" about the guy.
03:46:35 <Lemon> hmmm lets say he built the base of our "code", our laws, which was one law for everything, and he did many great things
03:46:45 <Lemon> he was over the top military speaking, too
03:47:01 <Lemon> overall, I'd say yes, he is more on the hero side
04:05:36 <Ysjoelfir> ok, thanks :) according to this documentary he was a bit of a maniac
04:07:05 <Ysjoelfir> also, T3sl4... I am no RF pro... I used the saturnPCB calculator to calculate the impedance of a antenna feedline. according to the application that feedline should be 2.3mm thick. that looks.... pretty stupid. But does that sound legit for standard FR4 with 1.541mm?
04:07:51 <T3sl4> yes?
04:07:52 <Lemon> yeah he was a tough guy
04:07:53 <Ysjoelfir> https://snipboard.io/d8rCpi.jpg
04:08:18 <T3sl4> i mean it's your fault for using no inner planes
04:08:20 <T3sl4> :P
04:09:05 <Ysjoelfir> ok, thanks :) just wanted to make sure that there is no hidden mistake :P and well.. its the fault of mr. customer who is a cheapskate^^
04:09:26 <Lemon> somebody knows the brand "roline" ? :>
04:09:38 <Lemon> I saw this thingie, and I was always curious about luxmeters https://www.leboncoin.fr/outillage_materiaux_2nd_oeuvre/1984278688.htm
04:09:39 <EEVBot> [Title] - leboncoin.fr
04:14:31 <Lemon> I compared its specs to 3-400 euros + models and it doesnt look shaby at all
04:15:37 <Ysjoelfir> i have the same. it works
04:16:31 <Lemon> really ?
04:16:36 <Lemon> like, exact same model ? :>
04:17:00 <Ysjoelfir> pretty much afaik.
04:17:28 <Lemon> heh neat ! I really know nothing about those things, how accurate they are, what is achievable, etc
04:17:35 <Lemon> and at 20-25 euros, heh why not
04:18:05 <Lemon> I always wanted one to verify if my car's light will pass the annual verification
04:18:12 <Lemon> when we polish them
04:18:34 <Lemon> I have to find the minimum value but I guess thats avalaible online
04:34:13 <Ysjoelfir> for that it should be enough I think
04:34:30 <Ysjoelfir> also Lemon, what other frenchistanian guys do you think I should watch documentaries of?
04:34:31 <rust_collector> Lemon why don't you try to find a lenovo carbon x1 3rd gen or newer, for less than 500 euros in the normandie area?
04:34:54 <Lemon> hehhh why that rusty ?
04:35:08 <Lemon> Ysjoelfir hmmm de gaulle ? :>
04:35:09 <rust_collector> I have a guy there looking for one.
04:35:30 <Lemon> 500 sounds cheap no ?
04:35:36 <rust_collector> yes
04:37:19 <Lemon> well the laptop market in france (second hand) is always overpriced for newish stuff
04:37:23 <Lemon> so that will be hard im afraid
04:38:07 <hsn> yes
04:38:16 <hsn> hello peeps :>
04:38:17 <EEVBot> Hello, hsn!
04:38:24 <rust_collector> hey you
04:38:27 <Lemon> oyoyo
04:38:32 <hsn> how u is going
04:38:41 <rust_collector> no
04:38:45 <hsn> yea
04:39:28 <rust_collector> Ysjoelfir maybe you should look at descartes, because I don't think there was anyone else from france
04:40:55 <hsn> Ysjoelfir, congratz me
04:41:34 <Ysjoelfir> what is a de gaulle, Lemon? and congratulations, hsn!
04:41:57 <Ysjoelfir> also... descartes.. sounds like something you should discard xD
04:42:19 <hsn> Ysjoelfir, i got my first upwork reply .. although he disappeared after lol
04:42:23 <Lemon> Charles De Gaulle :>
04:42:27 <rust_collector> de gaulle was one of the president people, I thinks
04:42:29 <Lemon> check him !
04:42:32 <Lemon> yes
04:42:48 <rust_collector> I guess he was one of the more interesting one of those
04:42:57 <Lemon> yeah an OG
04:42:59 <hsn> tbh cant say disappeared .. he is offline .. for less than 24H ..
04:43:47 <rust_collector> oh no, he is just using a different user.. he is watching you sweat
04:43:58 <Ysjoelfir> hsn, lol, same for me now :P T3sl4 hinted me to an job offer involving power meters. the guy accepted, wanted to send me a "to do" list, and now he's gone
04:44:30 <Lemon> seems high accuracy for luxmeter is extremely hard to achieve, and thats understandable considering how many factors there is
04:45:57 <hsn> rust_collector: its only 70$ job
04:46:07 <Lemon> according to some stuff I read, the meter I linked is quite nice, specwise
04:46:32 <rust_collector> hsn well, it is not, if you don't get it
04:46:46 <rust_collector> why does he want to hire you for hald an hour?
04:47:19 <hsn> rust_collector: i can wipe my sweat with the 70$
04:47:21 <hsn> Lol
04:47:42 <hsn> Nah .. its job wise not hourly wise .. simple thing .. i think
04:47:44 <rust_collector> I guess, unless you have that fancy modern plastic money
04:48:01 <rust_collector> if it is 70, it better be done in an hour
04:48:04 <hsn> And also .. 70$ in sandistan is high rate
04:48:15 <rust_collector> sure.
04:48:43 <hsn> I get around 70$ per day in my full time job
04:48:43 <rust_collector> what sort of thing is it?
04:49:07 <hsn> Convert arduino platformio project to atmel studio one
04:49:23 <rust_collector> hmmm, that sounds doable
04:50:19 <hsn> Yeah it should be figuring out where all code are .. in platformio .. and how compiler script does work .. and then do it in atmel thingy
04:51:53 <hsn> The ideal situation is to waste a full day in my shitty company solving this guy's issue ..
04:52:02 <hsn> Then its two birds with one stone
04:52:28 <hsn> Because im angry from my company these days ..
04:52:59 <rust_collector> you should also grab your boss lunch, and make him watch you eat it
04:53:01 <hsn> So that will make me less angry and start feeling bad and get bad to slavary pace again
04:53:13 <hsn> Indian launch ?
04:53:25 <hsn> With all the spices
04:53:32 <hsn> What am i .. a halycon?
04:53:34 <hsn> XD
04:53:43 <rust_collector> maybe some day?
04:54:12 <hsn> Probably
04:54:32 <hsn> Monday i ll ask him to buy me a launch
04:54:34 <rust_collector> if it makes him more uncomfortable, hang him off the roof by his shoelaces, and go one floor down, and eat his lunch
04:54:34 <hsn> Im broke
04:54:41 <hsn> He loves paying
04:55:07 <hsn> No he is good man
04:55:19 <rust_collector> awwwww, that is no fun
04:55:20 <hsn> He buys me launch on Mondays
04:56:13 <hsn> Well its "our order day" but he kept offering and insisted to pay i think its getting hard for him to pull that lol
04:57:46 <Ysjoelfir> od damn it, that gaulles guy had a fat nose o.o
05:00:18 <rust_collector> you are looking at obelix. I mean depardieu
05:01:04 <hsn> https://photos.app.goo.gl/y9o95ReJYzn8LjBo7 lol
05:01:14 <Ysjoelfir> lol
05:01:41 <rust_collector> awesome
05:01:42 <Ysjoelfir> I actually like gerard depardieu
05:01:52 <rust_collector> I actually like pancakes
05:02:11 <Ysjoelfir> lol
05:02:17 <rust_collector> but he has a sturdy nose
05:03:51 <Lemon> Ysjoelfir do you happen do know this brand ? https://www.leboncoin.fr/bricolage/1779545649.htm?ac=2404136686
05:03:53 <EEVBot> [Title] - leboncoin.fr
05:04:56 <Lemon> seems to be a high end german brand, making light measurement devices
05:05:01 <Ysjoelfir> no direct idea, though LMT does somehow ring a bell.... but it has a Schlafaugentaster for the power! so it is awesome no matter what!
05:06:01 <rust_collector> there is an lmt making more mechanical things... I have no idea if that is the same company
05:06:02 <Lemon> ha schlafaugenstaster ? :>
05:06:16 <Lemon> looking at how priced their devices are, im tempted by getting it
05:06:56 <Ysjoelfir> Schlafaugentaster would translate to.... sleeping eye button. because it looks like an eye opening/closing if you push it
05:07:02 <rust_collector> https://www.leboncoin.fr/bricolage/1961507199.htm you shoudl get that, so you can chargeur your piles
05:07:03 <EEVBot> [Title] - leboncoin.fr
05:07:20 <Lemon> the one top right ?
05:07:27 <Ysjoelfir> yes
05:07:43 <Lemon> I think I will get this thing :>
05:07:50 <Lemon> idk but something tells me its a high end device
05:07:54 <Lemon> well, maybe not high end
05:08:03 <Lemon> but it was surely super expensive and much better than a cheapo
05:08:10 <rust_collector> if nothing else, it is a nice box
05:08:23 <Lemon> lol yeah
05:08:38 <Lemon> and it seems to give quite a nice resolution, past 0
05:08:44 <Lemon> which is only on expensive ones from what I saw
05:08:55 <Lemon> most do 0.1, 0.01, this one does 0.001
05:09:10 <Lemon> not that I will need that, but maybe its another proof of how good it potentially is
05:10:02 <Lemon> 34.7 delivered, paid ! we'll see if the seller actually send it, and blabla blabla as usual
05:10:20 <rust_collector> you should get into high precision measuring tapes.
05:10:45 <Lemon> dont get me started !
05:11:06 <rust_collector> I think it is a bit too late to think about that...........

05:27:20 <Lemon> same number of decades, resolution, form factor etc
05:27:26 <Lemon> sensor look the same
05:34:38 <Lemon> I messaged them, with some luck they have the specs
05:34:46 <Lemon> it seems to be a class A, which are the best
05:35:12 <Lemon> if its a shitty model, seller will actually send it, but if its good, he will say "I dont accept online paiement/sending it, sorry"
05:36:11 <Lemon> hmm there might be a chance, on other sales he accept delivery
05:36:18 <Lemon> maybe we have a good deal ? heh

05:39:40 <Halcyon> Bleh
05:39:42 <Halcyon> I'm tired

05:47:11 <rust_collector> hsn what do you think he does?
05:47:11 <Halcyon> The problem is, it's very hard for me to pretend. It's obvious when I don't do anything
05:47:46 <hsn> rust_collector, usually he ignores me .. i guess busy or somthing :P ..
05:47:54 <rust_collector> sure
05:48:02 <Halcyon> I also let one of my staff have some days off this week, which means I have even less people who can help me :P
05:48:02 <hsn> Halcyon, order a dunut and eat it in car
05:48:09 <Halcyon> I don't like doughnuts
05:48:09 <hsn> thats what cops do
05:48:32 <hsn> take a junky in ur back car .. and start feeding him the doughnuts
05:48:35 <rust_collector> less people to pretend you do stuff for... good plan
05:48:47 <Halcyon> Hahaha hsn, I don't do street policing anymore
05:48:54 <Halcyon> I haven't for about 8 or 9 years
05:49:16 <hsn> Halcyon, maybe take junky in back car and get high with him .. u ll become super COOL cop
05:49:22 <hsn> why not .. danger?
05:49:25 <Halcyon> Drugs are bad
05:49:28 <Halcyon> Nah, just boring
05:49:37 <Halcyon> I like nerdy jobs
05:49:37 <hsn> not drugs .. just weed
05:49:45 <Halcyon> How is that any different?
05:49:53 <hsn> its different trust me :D

05:56:11 <hsn> :D
05:56:24 <hsn> original sand .. 100% high all time
06:04:04 <rust_collector> high and high. internet says the highest point there is 134m...
06:04:12 <hsn> which is low ?
06:04:18 <rust_collector> uh, yes
06:04:29 <hsn> yeah but your soul travels for distance
06:05:05 <rust_collector> I mean, it is lower than denmark, which is known to be... not high
06:05:55 <Ysjoelfir> its probably even lower than the netherlands? :P
06:06:12 <rust_collector> much lower than holland-land
06:06:18 <rust_collector> that is 300 and some meters
06:06:32 <Ysjoelfir> Holland is usually said to be dead flat
06:06:44 <rust_collector> they are not very wrong....
06:06:55 <rust_collector> 322.4m, it says
06:07:13 <rust_collector> otoh, the lowest point there is -6 or so
06:08:05 <Lemon> aye fluke 27/fm is moving

06:14:56 <hsn> Lemon, i can read and but i usually decide to not too .. am i tiring to u ?
06:15:05 <Lemon> out of 10 people selling something on this website, you get 7 that will never answer, 2 that want a cheque for a 5 euros item, and 1 that accept paiement online but once you pay, he doesnt
06:15:12 <hsn> rc_garage, are u rust_collector inside a garage ?
06:15:20 <Lemon> as long as you dont sell stuff online on leboncoin, im fine
06:15:33 <rc_garage> I is
06:15:40 <hsn> lebanon coin
06:19:26 <rc_garage> I should sell stuff on ebay, and specify that I do not sell the items
06:21:49 <Ysjoelfir> that should bring lots of income
06:22:01 <rust_collector> maybe
06:22:52 <hsn> rust_collector, how is that possibly logical
06:23:01 <hsn> or logically possible ?
06:23:14 <rc_garage> does it have to be?
06:23:18 <hsn> no
06:25:34 <rust_collector> then... that is good enough
06:27:01 <hsn> yes
06:28:07 <rc_garage> this is annoying. the box out here in the garage has nicer looking fonts then the one inside

06:46:38 <DHess_US> Subwoofer tuned. It has a double peak at about 19 and 44 Hz, but I need a better AC voltmeter to quantify it exactly. 20 Hz is the lower limit of my best AC voltmeter.
06:47:21 <DHess_US> Who makes an AC voltmeter with a lower frequency limit?
06:52:52 <rust_collector> hmm.
06:53:15 <rust_collector> could a scope do it? I dunno?
06:55:44 <DHess_US> The measurement needs pretty high resolution.
06:56:20 <DHess_US> At least it seemed to. I will have to try it again with some different series resistors.

06:58:51 <rust_collector> I think kuschelpony is into audio stuff, maybe ask when he is back?
07:00:39 <DHess_US> I've chatted with a couple of people here about it. I thought I would ask now and maybe they will catch it in their scrollback, and I can bring it up tonight when they are more likely to be here.
07:04:27 <DHess_US> It is funny listening to vbloggers with the subwoofer because you can hear who does not have proper pop filtering.

07:53:16 <Lemon> incredible, the guy for the luxmeter told me the usual "I dont take online paiement or paypal blabla but you can call me"
07:53:24 <Lemon> I said "heh ok" and I called him
07:53:31 <rust_collector> maybe he feels alone
07:53:43 <Lemon> turns out it was a old guy, really nice, he had no clue about online paiement but willing to learn
07:53:54 <Lemon> so he asked me if I can help him out, I helped him to set it up
07:53:58 <Lemon> he was super happy lol
07:54:02 Join: Dantali0n ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
07:54:09 <Lemon> he sends the device tommorow
07:54:20 <rust_collector> and now the thing is listed for double the price, lol
07:54:50 <Lemon> lol ye "so I looked online the way you taught me, I discovered it cost 5400 euros"
07:55:23 <Lemon> he also told me this device can work on batteries, they are probably toast tho
07:55:46 <Lemon> it really seems the model I saw is the same model but recent
07:55:56 <Lemon> so with some luck, its indeed quite a high end device
07:57:22 <Lemon> im really curious on what is possible to achieve at low cost, if I can make a rig to calibrate it etc
07:57:50 <Lemon> ho rust_collector btw, I got the cheap vref and opamp
07:57:50 <rust_collector> sure, you just need something even better??
07:58:04 <rust_collector> heh, great. have fun with that
07:58:33 <Lemon> well, not necessary, I saw that you need basicallly a lamp with a known value
07:58:37 <Lemon> and you can get that
07:58:48 <Lemon> then you have to make a rig to place it at the right distance/angle and so on
07:58:55 <rust_collector> ok... but how do you know that is in spec?
07:58:59 <Lemon> so I could at least verify if its in the right ballpark
07:59:11 <Lemon> well lets say the lamp is specified for 2500 lux
07:59:19 <Lemon> and with that rig I measure 2425 lux
07:59:25 <Lemon> I know its "okish"
07:59:46 <Lemon> well in fact, best ones are accurate to under 5%
07:59:52 <rust_collector> then take it to england, and suddenly it is 2615...
07:59:56 <Lemon> it seems to be super hard compared to volts and so on
08:00:07 <Lemon> im reading a NIST paper on that subject
08:00:08 <rust_collector> yeah, I guess they are a bit like clamp meters
08:00:34 <Lemon> hmmm in the sense its hard to reach lots of digits you mean ?
08:01:06 <rust_collector> and it you move it even a tiny bit, it changes by 600%
08:01:07 <Lemon> im quite happy about the small one I have, according to the paper, its between 0.2 and 0.7% from 1 to 200a
08:01:25 <Lemon> ha yes true, you have to make a good rig if you want perfect repetability
08:01:26 <rust_collector> yeah, they are very handy.
08:01:46 <Lemon> im curious on how good will be the one I bought recently for 8 euros
08:02:06 <Lemon> guy said "I have nothing to test it, so I sell it as-is for a small price, it powers on"
08:02:18 <Lemon> looking at it im pretty sure it works, and its a hall effect clamp
08:08:42 <Lemon> The base unit of all photometric quantities is the candela. The first realization of the candela
08:08:42 <Lemon> was performed circa 1860 using candles made from sperm whale fat, known as spermacetti.
08:11:18 <rust_collector> ok, so you are looking for a whale now?
08:11:35 <Lemon> rusty please, stop pushing me !
08:11:58 <Lemon> "ok, when does it comes ??"
08:11:59 <rust_collector> you know you need a whale. and it would be a popular thing in the neighborhood
08:12:04 <Lemon> :>

08:20:27 <rust_collector> yep, it should be similar to a fat bus
08:24:12 <Lemon> theres a lot of different units for light

09:54:54 <rust_collector> a thingie that is a switch...

10:12:00 <rust_collector> the birds could be indoors, and be seaguls
10:12:16 <alfbaz> argh, dont like them much
10:12:43 <rust_collector> they look nice, way out on the water, or up in the sky
10:13:06 <rust_collector> they are not so nice up close and screaming at you.... in your livingroom
10:13:22 <alfbaz> they like to fly over you and drop their guts on you around here
10:14:56 <alfbaz> We've got a big owl that likes to hang out in our back yard of a night, so when ever we let the dog out to pee he runs straigght up to the trees, looks up and barks
10:15:07 <rust_collector> heh
10:16:36 <alfbaz> you been upto anything interesting?
10:17:12 <rust_collector> nope. I could not sleep, so I got up to yell at Lemon, and bake some bread
10:17:53 <Lemon> dlinnngggg
10:18:04 <rust_collector> I did start cleaning up an engine block, but that is not very interesting
10:18:23 <Lemon> damn, 2:18 already
10:18:40 <rust_collector> yeah, I told you to have a nap hours ago
10:20:50 <rust_collector> Ok, that was just because you like to sleep on things, before you order some more crap...again, so I figured you should have a nap, and get it done before midnight
10:22:02 <alfbaz> what engine is it, size, make
10:22:03 <alfbaz> ?
10:22:59 <alfbaz> I use to rebuild them, well all 3 of them
10:23:05 <rust_collector> it is complicated.... it is a volvo penta, so built by mercruiser, which bought it from chevrolet. it is just a chevy 305
10:23:49 <alfbaz> 305? that's a weird size, for here in aus at least
10:24:04 <rust_collector> nah, it is ie a 5 liter
10:24:26 <alfbaz> yeah 5L here a mainly 308
10:24:43 <rust_collector> yeah, but you have the weirdo holden stuff
10:25:10 <alfbaz> lol, use too, they're no longer making shit here anymore
10:25:25 <rust_collector> not anywhere else either, afaik
10:25:52 <rust_collector> they don't make chevy 305s any more either
10:26:02 <alfbaz> holden v8's were 4.2L 253, 5L 308 and 5.8 350
10:26:28 <alfbaz> oh and the 454
10:27:01 <rust_collector> in the us, a 350 was just 5.7, so you got a good deal on that
10:27:23 <alfbaz> lol we enjoy rounding up a lot

10:28:02 <EEVBot> [Title] - Youtube: Driver Flips Over Tire on Highway, Quite Literally...
10:28:03 <alfbaz> eg we have very few 2L engines that are actually 2 liter
10:28:24 <rust_collector> I do like that you people made some more interesting inline 6 thingies
10:28:48 <rust_collector> yeah, most are 199x cc, I guess
10:29:35 <alfbaz> mostly all 4 cyl nowadays
10:29:41 <rust_collector> I am not a huge fan of v8 things. but I do like a nice i6
10:29:50 <DHess_US> Some threes, some fives.
10:30:16 <rust_collector> not enough 7
10:30:19 <DHess_US> inline 6s tend to have more problems with warped heads because they are longer than a V8 or I4.
10:30:36 <rust_collector> well, you can just split them
10:30:53 <alfbaz> yes and to add to the problem a lot of 6's had alloy heads
10:31:37 <rust_collector> I like my little slant 6, it is not super awesome, except that it still works
10:31:39 <alfbaz> I had a 308 holden we called a monaro 6 speed manual
10:31:54 <alfbaz> went like the clappers
10:32:31 <alfbaz> our young bloke bough one of these fancy wrx's
10:32:50 <alfbaz> and it's acceleration left me standing still
10:33:08 <alfbaz> power to weight ratio difference was massive
10:34:10 <rust_collector> I hate replacing clutches on subarus.
10:34:56 <rust_collector> and making them leak less oil (on the non-turbo ones)
10:35:02 <alfbaz> how are the engines oriented on those things, side to side or front to back?
10:35:09 <rust_collector> front to back
10:35:17 <rust_collector> like an old vw
10:35:51 <alfbaz> Let's face it clutch changing is a mugs game no matter what the vehicle
10:35:57 <rust_collector> nope,
10:36:28 <alfbaz> I imagine you have a decent garage to work in then?
10:37:05 <rust_collector> try an older saab, or the weirdo fwd gm small cars from the mid 80s to the 90s, and I will swap a clutch for you in 20 minutes
10:37:31 <rust_collector> nope, but I did buy a new jack a month or two ago
10:37:56 <alfbaz> fuck that's awesome! It's a whole day affair for me :P
10:38:07 <rust_collector> well, that was on those cars...
10:38:27 <rust_collector> you don't have to take the engine away from the transmission on those
10:39:49 <alfbaz> I always had drama's lining up the clutch
10:40:00 <rust_collector> yeah
10:40:46 <alfbaz> tried whitteling a broom stick handle to fit :P
10:42:25 <rust_collector> that is why I like those shitty old gm things. you take the dust cover off, and the cover on the end of the box, use one of the bolts from the cover to screw into the input shaft, and pull it out. then loosen the clutch stuff, and it drops out the bottom. stick a new clutch up there, slide the shaft back inside, bolt down the clutch stuff, put the covers back on, and done
10:44:18 <rust_collector> the saab has the transmission as the oil pan of the engine, and the clutch is in front of the engine, almost out in the open.
10:44:41 <rust_collector> but... otoh, they are saabs, so I don't really like them, other than the clutch

11:31:24 <rust_collector> eh? did they put a budget low quality stent in you?
11:32:17 <rust_collector> if it can not take a bit of cheese....
11:40:20 <alfbaz> lol, don't worry, I have been testing it :P
11:56:13 <rust_collector> good good. I think I will go and see if the bed works now. good night

18:40:57 <T3sl4> wow, i just did an ftl run with the engi c ship, found lots of crew and got teleporter 1st sector, ended up with a 100% full upgrade plus 50 scrap leftover and a weapon in the hold. new 3rd place score of 6091
18:41:27 <Ysjoelfir> nice :D I should play a round as well. otoh, I should be working. meh. :D
18:42:32 <T3sl4> i was actually just intending to do a tele run because, who ever gets tele on engi c? little did i know, the dual lasers i started with, and hermes missile i found, took me completely into like sector 5, i wasn't finding jack shit at stores

18:58:34 <Ysjoelfir> Nah. The point is, that they now changet their terms and conditions to explicitly say that they have the right to monetize every video, even if you explicityle opted out from monetarisation and disabled advertisments in the video. They just add ads now and keep all of the revenue, if you disable monetarisation on a vid.

19:16:45 <Ysjoelfir> K, the thing is: Youtube makes a whole lot of profit on the videos and is blastering the user with ads already. until now they allowed to keep videos ads free, now they change that and monetise YOUR work without you getting anything. this feels to me a bit intrusive. I wouldn't take the christmas card you draw and make money with that just because I have the expense of storing it on my wall of lovely postcards? :D But in general I agree,
19:16:45 <Ysjoelfir> just leave. which I kind of did. I stopped making videos some years ago, but always wanted to continue again when I have more time. won't do that now anymore. and I probably delete my videos as I am not allowed to monetise them, so I won't want youtube to use them to make money themselves.
19:18:51 <K> it is their platform, they pay the bills
19:19:08 <K> cant pay for electricity with feelings
19:19:58 <Ysjoelfir> true, but if you look at their profit I highly doubt that they are having trouble paying their bills. this is just to make even more money from the work other people did, isn't it?
19:20:08 <K> not our call to inspect their wallet
19:20:22 <Ysjoelfir> well, is it not?
19:20:47 <K> nope
19:20:54 <K> we did not put anything in it
19:21:11 <Ysjoelfir> we are living in a society where the walth is so unevenly distributed... I think it could be beneficial to have some people look into the wallets of other ones and see what and how happenes there.
19:21:37 <K> they are taking a risk by taking the vids and hoping advertisers will pay
19:22:13 <Ysjoelfir> oh, I did put in there my work crating 36 videos, paying for the equipment, the time, the electricity,.... why am I not allowed to get a profit from that?
19:22:31 <K> you absolutely can, make your own youtube
19:23:17 <K> i am debating on the principle here and recognize that i am being a bit anal about it
19:26:03 <T3sl4> i mean, without us, they have no content
19:26:15 <T3sl4> so, that's uh, rather important
19:26:44 * steve30 is stocked up on food
19:26:49 <K> when all of the creators will leave, they will die
19:27:51 <K> do not get me wrong, putting 10023904 ads on a video is silly and anoying
19:28:10 <K> but if there are no ads, there will be no youtube soon after
19:28:37 <K> well, if you do not ponny up money via some subscription or something like that
19:30:39 <K> my point here is that youtube is a business and it is allowed to do business any (legal) way it likes
19:30:57 <T3sl4> steve30: https://i.imgur.com/HaAovQK.gif
19:32:08 <T3sl4> hm, i didn't expect such a right wing statement from you, K
19:32:17 <Ysjoelfir> You know, I see your point, but I am not sure if you see mine. The creators do invest a substantial amound of time and money themselves to create content that youtube can use to make money. without the creators they would have nothing. IF everyone on youtube would be allowed to monetise every video, then I wouldn't complain. but not allowing me to monetise my videos because I am not big enough, and at the same time going to my channel,
19:32:18 <Ysjoelfir> blasting my videos with ads themselves without having any way to have them stop doing that is..... well, I don't know a corect term for that. it feels like you are exploited.
19:33:34 <steve30> most of my videos don't have ads (yet)
19:33:50 <Ysjoelfir> sure, youtube is allowed to do everything they want as long as its in legal boundaries, and the creators are free to leave. but... there aren't that many other places to go, and youtube knows that very well. so they (at least ift feels like that, hence my oppinion that watching their wallets wouldn't be the worst thing) can go and squeeze out every last cent out of everyone there, without giving them a FAIR share
19:33:52 <K> T3sl4, youtube is not an essential utility in my mind, that is why
19:34:13 <K> yet it is not, maybe it should/will change
19:34:40 <T3sl4> it could be regulated for fair business practices
19:35:06 <K> "fair" is hard though
19:36:21 <K> what if youtube one day decidesto call it quits and just shuts everything down, would they be reuired to hand over the keys?
19:38:31 <T3sl4> what's with the slippery slopes? why not just require them to leave it up long enough for everyone to download their data
19:38:46 <K> will that be enough?
19:39:06 <K> ok maybe that was a bad argument
19:39:13 <T3sl4> don't gotta be all extreme just cuz the ppl want co's to just play nice and not be utter douches

21:05:24 <Ysjoelfir> mornings
21:05:38 <Maarten> :)
21:08:04 <Maarten> Rectennas (short for "rectifying antennas"), she explained, work a bit like car radio antennas. But instead of picking up radio waves and turning them into tunes, optical rectennas absorb light and heat and convert it into power.
21:08:24 <K> how does that differ from photovoltaics?
21:08:51 <K> esp efficiency wise

21:22:50 <Kuschelpony> not that i know
21:23:07 <Kuschelpony> and i have today a headache again, will be for more chat somewhat later in the afternoon
21:23:17 <Kuschelpony> happy if i can help
21:23:19 <Lemon> as a true electronic engineer I bought myself one of those pcb ruler
21:23:27 <Lemon> my iq grew by 200% instantly
21:23:29 <rust_collector> he had some questions last night, but you were not here.
21:24:15 <rust_collector> and I thing you might know 2 things about measuring speakers
21:24:42 <Kuschelpony> as said i am happy if i can halp but this is only a few minutes online until later

21:24:44 <DHess_US> Measurements using an HP 3403C True RMS Voltmeter.[/quote]
21:24:57 <DHess_US> Gah, copy paste failure
21:25:15 <DHess_US> <DHess_US> Subwoofer tuned. It has a double peak at about 19 and 44 Hz, but I need a better AC voltmeter to quantify it exactly. 20 Hz is the lower limit of my best AC voltmeter.
21:25:15 <DHess_US> <DHess_US> Who makes an AC voltmeter with a lower frequency limit?
21:28:12 <K> jerry rig and somewhat callibrate a soundcard input?
21:28:24 <T3sl4> riddle, when is AC not AC?
21:28:50 <K> when it gets old and forgets
21:29:05 <coppice> T3sl4: its all AC, sometimes at 0Hz
21:29:10 <Lemon> seems my 8502a can do 10Hz
21:29:10 <Kuschelpony> i respond later, but to say i always use a soundcard and the channel calibration is in about all software done automatically
21:29:23 <Lemon> well, its specified as 10 to 20Hz minimum
21:29:26 * T3sl4 divides coppice by zero
21:29:34 <Kuschelpony> some years ago i would have recommanden "Audiotester" but the recent versions appear to be a mess or non onger working
21:29:37 <Kuschelpony> see you later
21:29:42 * T3sl4 hugs Kuschelpony
21:29:55 <DHess_US> It seems the most immediate thing I can do is modify one of my documented bench meters for lower frequency AC response.
21:29:56 Quit: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) Connection closed
21:30:28 <T3sl4> or bring the scope in
21:31:17 <DHess_US> An oscilloscope would obviously work.
21:31:40 <Lemon> 3456a also state over 20Hz, interesting
21:32:36 <DHess_US> There is a tradeoff between low frequency response and settling time, so it isn't surprising that they don't usually extend lower than 20 to 40 Hz.
21:33:10 <T3sl4> and 20Hz is the lowest useful for audio
21:33:53 <Lemon> isnt the lowest freq we can feel 7Hz ?
21:34:27 <Lemon> I think I read that somwhere, with those huge church thingies-I-don't-know-the-english-name
21:34:34 <Lemon> "orgue" in french
21:34:39 <T3sl4> organ?
21:34:42 <Lemon> organ yes thanks
21:34:51 <T3sl4> there are some very low pedals, yes
21:34:55 <T3sl4> but we do not hear them as such
21:34:56 <Lemon> deepest note they can do is 7Hz I think
21:35:18 <T3sl4> i mean, i can feel the seat pressing against my butt, that's about 0.01Hz right now
21:37:00 <K> feel the organs
21:38:12 <DHess_US> The problem is that I have a response like this which is expected, but the lower peak is about where the low frequency response of my best AC voltmeter starts to fall off, https://www.parts-express.com/Themes/Default/images/PDP/390-807/390-807--dats-vented-enclosure-measurement.JPG
21:38:34 <coppice> The lowest bass pedal on most cathedral organs is 13.3Hz
21:39:28 <T3sl4> increase coupling between the modes
21:40:10 <T3sl4> or um wait, reduce it
21:41:45 <DHess_US> I was just looking for alternatives to how to make the measurement. I have another AC voltmeter I can test, and I can modify one of my bench meters pretty easy.
21:42:13 <DHess_US> Previously it was never a problem because the peaks were at higher frequencies.
21:43:26 <DHess_US> T3sl4, that is just an example. On mine the peaks are much closer in amplitude, but with the lower one being in the rolloff region of my best AC voltmeter, that is called into question.
21:44:17 <T3sl4> ah
21:44:46 <DHess_US> I could measure the AC response of the voltmeter and use that to correct the measurement, but it would be an awfully lot of work.
21:45:14 <T3sl4> well, not so bad if it's just establishing a single pole response or something, but yeh
21:45:49 <coppice> what if the Pole is married?
21:46:01 <DHess_US> Actually it is a 2 pole response with a 12dB/octave roll off. The point is to adjust it for critical dampening.
21:46:30 <T3sl4> i meant of the voltmeter, but yeah
21:47:02 <DHess_US> Oh, yea, most have a single pole response but some use a steeper rolloff.
21:47:43 <T3sl4> could also be digital (sliding average?) which would have a still different curve near cutoff
21:47:58 <DHess_US> Plus at such a low frequency, the sinc response from the integration time adds to the response.
21:48:11 <T3sl4> yeah, that
21:48:26 <DHess_US> So the response becomes non-linear.

21:52:52 <DHess_US> Hmm, modifying one of my meters isn't going to work. The capacitors are already pretty big.
21:53:16 <T3sl4> you'd have to refresh it with something beefy like 30% H2O2
21:53:31 <T3sl4> and still need acid to take up the copper so yeh
21:56:24 <rust_collector> K from my reading, it does not store very well, after being mixed. I don't know
21:57:33 <K> yeah, that's what i understood as well
21:58:06 <coppice> hydrofluoric acid is the best etchant. It doesn't stop at the copper. It removes the glass matting, too, resulting in as more even impedance for the substrate
21:58:48 <T3sl4> your idea is full of holes
21:59:29 <DHess_US> This AC converter is interesting. Both the input and output of the operational amplifier are AC coupled so it does not contribute any offset error to the rectified output.
22:00:38 <T3sl4> what does it convert to? christianity?
22:01:20 <Ampera> It has been 14 days since I got my second shot
22:01:26 <Ampera> I am now fully 5G equipped
22:01:48 <T3sl4> :)
22:02:07 <K> has your tail-antenna fully grown?
22:02:25 <Ampera> now if only they made these stupid cards in a standard format that could fit a wallet
22:02:34 <K> is it erect at the right angle, as per spec?
22:02:37 <Ampera> I even have one of them fancy european wallets that have the large slots for fitting a driver's license
22:02:47 <Ampera> and it's just barely too big to fit in there
22:03:01 <K> (joke about everything being bigger in usa)
22:03:17 <K> ((and thats what she said))
22:03:27 <Ampera> no it's everything's bigger in texas
22:04:07 <DHess_US> Availability of the vaccinations where I am is still limited. I would have to drive to far.
22:04:07 <T3sl4> texas is bigger than everything, even texas
22:04:46 <Ampera> DHess_US, where are you
22:04:51 <K> (somewhere in the background that set-theory guy cries in pain)
22:05:09 <DHess_US> Near St. Louis.
22:05:26 * T3sl4 gives K a coupon to the barber that only barbers those that barber themselves
22:05:44 <EEVBot> [Twitter] - eevblog - Looks like I'll be able to attend the Right to Repair summit! https://t.co/oZa8BpE9MY
22:06:07 <Ampera> Well that explains it, you're in misery.
22:06:31 <T3sl4> yeah, crappy states either side of that location
22:06:47 <DHess_US> State actually sent me an email saying "we noticed that you haven't gotten your vaccination yet ..."
22:07:02 <DHess_US> At least it is not Illinois.
22:07:21 <Ampera> You can only be thankful
22:08:08 <K> is illinois baaaad?
22:08:21 <DHess_US> If I lived in Illinois, I would have been assaulted and robbed twice by now.
22:08:36 <Ampera> so you're saying it only happened to you once?
22:08:38 <Ampera> impressive
22:09:03 <T3sl4> so you're black?
22:09:12 <T3sl4> oh wait, that would be ten
22:10:17 * Ampera checks unwarranted addition of racial politics to the conversation off the T3sl4 BINGO card
22:10:43 <T3sl4> Ampera, everything is political
22:10:45 <K> they be robbin ppl there?
22:10:50 <DHess_US> I've been in two incidents now in 10 years where I defended myself with the handgun that I legally can carry in Missouri, but not Illinois.
22:10:52 <Ampera> not this
22:10:54 * Ampera kisses T3sl4
22:11:04 <Ampera> DHess_US, nice
22:11:12 <T3sl4> gays are political
22:11:18 <T3sl4> or whatever you are :P
22:11:32 <DHess_US> St. Louis *is* the crime capitol of the US, although I don't live in a bad area.
22:11:56 <coppice> DHess_US: its good to excel at something
22:12:02 <DHess_US> I'm about 30 minutes west of St. Louis, and not even in the same county.
22:12:02 <Ampera> That's impressive, considering Chicago is not that far away, and has been in far more gangster movies
22:12:24 <T3sl4> i mean, it's only the other side of the state
22:12:32 <DHess_US> I suspect St. Louis was too hardcore for Hollywood.
22:12:55 <Ampera> Every time they try to shoot a movie there, their cameras ended up getting stole
22:12:59 <coppice> T3sl4: being the other side of the street is often enough to make a profound difference
22:13:29 <coppice> I thought Wall St was the crime capital of America
22:13:54 <T3sl4> it's only crime if it's prosecuted(?)
22:14:05 <Ampera> It's not illegal if the government is in on it
22:14:13 <DHess_US> It is not a crime when the government does it.
22:14:38 <Ampera> It's not a war crime if there's no more military to judge you
22:15:15 <coppice> the only true war crime is losing. all others are forgiven
22:15:51 <Ampera> Or in the case of Japan, are considered a god by your people
22:16:00 <T3sl4> history is written by the victors, even the RCAs
22:16:33 <Ampera> GEez.
22:16:53 <coppice> True. I've seen JVC trying to rewrite history
22:16:58 <T3sl4> I BM on you
22:17:14 <Ampera> well that was remmington random
22:17:35 <T3sl4> rand() corp?
22:17:58 <Ampera> or so they DEClare
22:18:06 <coppice> yeah, where all the randy work
22:20:25 <K> yall need to stop now.
22:20:48 <Ampera> Oh Honey, well I guess we can.
22:21:28 <T3sl4> stop, K is getting saturated by intel here
22:21:30 <coppice> K: what specific complaint do you have? We are trying to keep our Data General
22:21:36 <Lemon> hey, I was thinking about something, my old lab supplies dont have a button to turn on/off the output
22:21:52 <Lemon> can I simply put a switch in series with the positive connector ?
22:21:59 <T3sl4> sure
22:22:01 <Lemon> it should work, right ?
22:22:02 <Lemon> yeah
22:22:07 <Lemon> ok I will make some adapters then
22:24:03 <K> it is too much
22:24:25 <DHess_US> On my power supplies, the output enable clamps the reference voltage to the error amplifiers.
22:26:01 <Ampera> K, it's simply a game of conNECt the dots.
22:26:44 <DHess_US> I wouldn't switch the output directly because series inductance in the external wiring could cause high peak voltages in some cases.
22:26:48 <rust_collector> I was wondering how the supplies would act, if you unplugged and plugged in the load. I guess different supplies act different. maybe you get some weird spikes before it regulates properly?
22:26:53 <Ampera> It's all Philcosophy
22:27:14 <T3sl4> jesus ralphing christ
22:27:27 <DHess_US> rust_collector, the output capacitance should prevent that.
22:27:52 <Lemon> thats also why I dont want to turn off/on the whole suppply, spikes can occur
22:28:03 <T3sl4> or encourage current spikes
22:28:10 <Lemon> I measured the distance between outputs and ofc, none are standard
22:28:22 <Lemon> so I will need to put a switch on the positive pole only I guess
22:28:27 <DHess_US> rust_collector, the error amplifier definitely has to recover from the load change but because of the output capacitance, that is all it should see it as.
22:28:30 <Lemon> rather than getting those dual plug thingies
22:28:41 <DHess_US> <Lemon> thats also why I dont want to turn off/on the whole suppply, spikes can occur
22:28:45 <DHess_US> That is a different problem.
22:28:50 <Lemon> yes yes I know !
22:29:10 <Lemon> I worded it badly
22:29:21 <Lemon> thats why I want to add that little switch
22:29:41 <Lemon> and I don't want to modify the faceplate of my dear old supplies
22:29:46 <DHess_US> If the reference voltage is clamped, then the error amplifier can produce a clean response in the output, which I assume is why mine do it that way.
22:30:15 <T3sl4> i like controls where the control is always in control
22:30:33 <DHess_US> Right. Mine is a tracking supply so there are two voltage controls.
22:30:46 <Lemon> my topward is also a tracking one
22:30:53 <Lemon> I never use that feature tho
22:31:03 <DHess_US> One potentiometer controls the gain of the error amplifier which is not ideal, but they did that to give remote programing capability.
22:31:33 <DHess_US> The tracking control is a potentiometer which divides the reference voltage. That is the one which gets clamped to zero when the output is disabled.
22:32:06 <DHess_US> So the output is never really disabled, it is just set to zero volts when the output is disabled.
22:33:29 <DHess_US> Incidentally, that is also how Intel used to recommend Flash programming supplies be controlled, because switching the output even with a transistor can cause spikes.
22:34:28 <rust_collector> that sounds like an idea
22:36:33 <DHess_US> Can probably find an application note discussing the issue.
22:38:57 <DHess_US> https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/application-notes/an31.pdf
22:40:59 <DHess_US> Appendix B discusses the problem with switching at the output.
22:41:53 <T3sl4> how uncharacteristically inelegant, using a zener in the rectifier instead of SEPIC
22:42:48 <DHess_US> Yea, that is an interesting choice.
22:43:21 <DHess_US> But only one inductor is needed and it isn't like efficiency matters.
22:44:01 <T3sl4> i guess coilcraft wasn't around back then, or didn't have as broad a catalog
22:44:23 <T3sl4> or bourns' catalog, or cooper or miller or anyone else that go bought out long ago
22:44:30 <DHess_US> Or they were designing to a price point.
22:45:11 <T3sl4> https://i.imgur.com/psTHAPr.mp4
22:46:49 <DHess_US> They could have used a bipolar transistor. LT showed that in their micropower regulators.
22:47:03 <DHess_US> I wonder if they didn't think of it.
22:50:19 <coppice> bipolar transistors have their ups and downs

22:51:38 <DHess_US> Hmm, the voltage is marginal so that is why they didnt' do it that way.
22:51:49 Join: Maarten ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
22:52:08 <T3sl4> odd. how does that work up to 7V in?
22:53:14 <T3sl4> hmm, i suppose it operates hysteretically
22:53:54 <DHess_US> Charge is only transferred to the output through the emitter, and the emitter is only higher than the base when the switching is active.
22:53:57 <T3sl4> i suppose that's also why it doesn't operate very low, the reg can't supply that much current and ratio
22:54:48 <DHess_US> It is a cheap way to have a boost converter disconnect the output, which allows the output to be higher or lower than the input.
22:55:01 <T3sl4> lol, why would they use a E-B zener (prev page)
22:56:00 <DHess_US> It is just cheap.
22:56:12 <DHess_US> Also less likely to insert a transistor backwards.
22:57:14 <T3sl4> heh
22:58:01 <DHess_US> Or the applications engineer had an attack of the clevers.

23:43:34 <Ampera> me thinks someone needs to take the keys to twitter from dave for a bit while he calms down from his crypto high :P
23:43:48 <rust_collector> yeeeesssss
23:43:59 <Ampera> Hello rust_collector, how are you rusting today?
23:44:00 <EEVBot> Hello, Ampera!
23:44:03 <rust_collector> Konstit on monet, sano mummo kun kissalla pöytää pyyhki
23:44:13 <Ampera> I don't speak spanish
23:44:14 <rust_collector> hey Ampera. just another day.
23:44:42 <rust_collector> ask Halcyon when he comes. maybe he can translate
23:47:07 <Ampera> he speaks bogan not spanish
23:47:31 <rust_collector> well, he can ask his parents, I guess
23:48:07 <rust_collector> i don't think they speak spanish where they come from
23:48:31 <Ampera> no I think they speak greek
23:48:38 <Ampera> but it's basically the same language
23:49:06 Quit: Maarten ([email protected]) Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
23:49:11 <K> why is rusty speaking finnish
23:49:24 <rust_collector> welkom to finnland, today we blow up lake, and eat salmiakki
23:50:13 <K> Perkele!
23:50:24 <Ampera> he's just practicing it for the eventual norwegian conquest of finland
23:50:36 <K> Saatana!
23:50:47 <Ysjoelfir> Poronkusema!
23:50:56 <rust_collector> well, except that I am trying to give the finns the upper part of norway.
23:51:21 * Ysjoelfir is going to pick up a Tek scope cart now.
23:51:26 * Ysjoelfir waves to everyone
23:51:28 <Ampera> being conquered or being the conqueror is only a matter of perspective
23:51:29 <K> yay
23:51:40 <rust_collector> have a good look at the otehr stuff he has too
