04:56:03 <arch> is it possible to modify a CH330 (which lacks DTS and RTS pins) to work with a microcontroller that uses those pins to get into "flashing" mode?
05:44:44 <K> add a buuton?
05:45:15 <K> otoh that might be tricky if expected delays are in ms
05:56:15 <arch> yeah, button will work, but that adds space
05:56:24 <arch> so better to go with CH340C instead
06:08:01 <K> yeah
06:20:51 <coppice> I developed a dislike for the CH340 based on my first experience being in some fake serial converters, where the real ones had prolific chips in them and worked fine, while the CH340 based ones only supported a 3 wire interface
06:22:06 <coppice> and the CH340 driver was very buggy in those days. I hope that has improved
06:44:43 <Erlend-SE> coppice: Or get something that implements CDC-ACM?
06:47:05 <coppice> Erlend-SE: the popular USB-serial devices were all developed before that was standardised
06:47:30 <Erlend-SE> coppice: Sure, but you can look for other ones
06:47:46 <Erlend-SE> coppice: Also blame microsoft for not properly implementing it
06:47:46 <coppice> so much was in the first USB standard which was barely used, yet key things like serial ports was not
06:49:23 <coppice> fully specifying things like an ISDN-USB interface on day one and leaving serial until many years later is seriously messed up
06:50:47 <Erlend-SE> Who said "legacy" is bad? what a mess

07:37:55 <rust8> well, who is not under attack... I think you people over there need a new hobby, or something. you have had too many immigrants, to be french enough, to protest everything
07:47:00 <steve30> We've certainly had a lot of protests lately

07:57:11 <coppice> arch: do you know how many bugs you can fit into 200 lines? The problem for a long time was there was no driver for Linux, and even a small closed source driver from Windows is beyond reasonable debugging, unless you are desperate
07:58:41 <arch> welp, not gonna argue with you there, but, i've been using the bootleg arduinos for a while with ch340 chips, and they've saved me a couple hundred bucks so far. can't complain :D

08:48:30 <jaymax> Evening hambones. <3
09:05:53 <DHess_US> Ampera, cold, snowy.
09:09:37 <DHess_US> Ampera, made a second trip to my storage unit in St. Louis. Bow before the oscilloscope god, https://i.imgur.com/5s74tom.jpeg
09:09:54 <Ampera> that certainly is a scope
09:10:21 <DHess_US> 4 channel, 400 MHz, analog storage, analog fast storage
09:11:44 <DHess_US> Can also function as two 2-channel oscilloscopes with separate independent sweeps.
09:13:16 <coppice> Those things suck compared to an HP1741 or HP1744. They have some nice tricks, but the storage capability doesn't measure up
09:27:18 <DHess_US> The variable persistence and fast variable persistence is good. The bistable storage is poor at best.
09:27:47 <DHess_US> It was just the oscilloscope I grabbed. Did not have room for more.
09:28:41 <coppice> compared to the HPs its all weak. Which is interesting, as the same TEK division which made those tube made the graphics workstation tubes which had amazing quality storage
09:28:59 <DHess_US> My 7904 is generally better unless you need variable persistence because it is much brighter and sharper.
09:29:48 <DHess_US> The graphics workstations didn't have to be optimized for high writing rate. If low writing rate is acceptable, then the brightness and sharpness can be much better.
09:30:16 <coppice> tek scopes have so much trouble with bleed, yet the graphics tubes could be turned off, turned on several days later, and there was a perfect image
09:30:17 <DHess_US> In fast variable persistence mode, it can capture 400 MHz single shots.
09:31:24 <coppice> that is a higher bandwidth than the HPs, but in real world use the HPs were a lot better
09:31:58 <DHess_US> Tek optimized for absolute fastest writing rate

10:16:52 <jaymax> Well the worms are in their new home for now - I had to do last-minute preparations for them as it was a whim realizing how many were in the soil I was sifting.
10:19:00 <jaymax> They will not be happy these first few days while the food scraps get in a favourable position - but I might have enough of their old habitat anyway.

20:15:07 <steve30> Looks like they are planning something for the summer, where "cops" will be banned
20:15:14 <steve30> because police are everythingaphobic
20:16:03 <K> i wonder how they will "ban" the "cops"
20:18:01 <steve30> Well, if Halcyon's boyfriend turns up in uniform I expect he will just get booed out
20:18:36 <Halcyon> That's homophobic though
20:21:35 <K> boo or no boo, job is job
20:21:45 <K> or am i missing something?
20:23:38 <steve30> I do wonder if these "queer activist" groups are forgetting that we have gays in the police force
20:24:13 <steve30> When you consider their anti police stance, you'd think we were still in the 1960s
20:24:31 <Halcyon> People just need to get alone
20:24:33 <Halcyon> *along
20:27:26 <steve30> Apparently Greater manchester Police were banned from marching (in uniform) in last years pride parade.
20:27:38 <steve30> Some openly gay policemen complained about it in the papers
20:28:02 <steve30> But yet, our completely incompetent health service were allowed to march...
