00:00:20 <MrMobodies> 31c outside
00:00:47 <MrMobodies> stagnant and the air is dense full of the smell of grass
00:02:55 <MrMobodies> well actially 32.8 with other sensor a degress less
00:02:56 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/08BjvTBx/image.png
00:03:10 <MrMobodies> I thought it was predicted to be cooler today
00:03:49 <MrMobodies> could open any windows last night, as a few nights before, desite the netting i got bitten by these tiny cornflies
00:16:45 <steve30> we got a bit of rain overnight
02:15:53 <user2453> thanks for the recommendation rc-garage, I will try that later today
02:18:25 <rust_collector> I am not trying to tell you to not get a new meter, because everyone needs at least....7....or 20 of them. But, it is nice to fix things. I think I used 2 or 3 layers of normal painters masking tape.
02:23:18 <arch> how do you do, fellow Uma Musume gamers?
02:23:47 <arch> user2453, get a fluke 117
02:24:03 <arch> or if you have a bit more money, a fluke 325
02:25:01 <user2453> kind of expensive... I'm looking into Brymen BM786/BM857s atm
02:25:18 <user2453> will try to fix the aneng to have it as backup later)
02:25:42 <arch> brother, nobody buys new flukes if they are diyers. get em off ebay for half price or less.
02:25:52 <arch> i got my fluke 325 for ehh $240
02:26:27 <arch> the loss of 0.01% accuracy over time from previous owner, who gives a crap
02:27:01 <user2453> is it worth it over a new Brymen? they're cheaper than the used Fluke so...
02:27:18 <arch> you show up to my house with a brymen to fix my electrical problems, ima ask you to leave
02:27:24 <rust_collector> no, but they are yellow, so people you get paid to do stuff
02:27:34 <rust_collector> think
02:27:42 <user2453> ahahahah
02:28:03 <user2453> I don't do mains work even, just DC stuff 99% of the time at my bench
02:28:18 <arch> black and yellow, black and yellow. you know what it iiiiis.
02:28:31 <arch> klein is more like black and orange, but they are good for dmms too
02:30:00 <arch> eewwww why in the hell are they selling manual ranging multimeters still... https://www.kleintools.com/catalog/electrical-testers/test-kit-multimeter-non-contact-volt-tester-receptacle-tester

02:30:11 <arch> must be for the monkey brains. more knob settings = gooder :3
02:30:23 <rust_collector> because then you are measuring what you are interested in, maybe?
02:31:12 <arch> no? it won't be accurate if the voltage is changing fast anyways
02:32:07 <arch> that dmm costs $45. figures... probably a reskinned temu multimeter
02:33:52 <arch> welp, whatever multimeter you end up getting, make sure to grab the Fluke TL175 probes. they have a nifty trick where you can twist the "foreskin" and it retracts the insulated edges

02:37:21 <user2453> TL175 seems quite nice. do you know any that are thinner though? i currently have some chinese BST-050
02:43:44 <arch> no clue. i stick with whatever fluke, keysight, agilent, fieldpiece has
02:45:52 <rust_collector> I am pretty happy with my probemaster ones. cant remember the model name.
02:46:43 <rust_collector> comes with one of those magnetic toolbox or frigge magnet things, like you get from rock auto
02:47:02 <rust_collector> fridge.
02:47:27 <rust_collector> typing is hard today also

06:30:37 <MrMobodies> 27c indoor and outdoor an hour ago according to the sensors
06:31:04 <MrMobodies> the difference is even now, when I go outsde I find I can't breathe very well
06:31:57 <MrMobodies> I shut the kitchen door and turned on the air conditioning in the conservatory which flows into the kitchen, the utility room, and a fan there to blow it in my workshop
06:32:25 <MrMobodies> yesterday morning at 5am when I went to sleep, it was nice and cool but upstairs was like a furness.
06:33:50 <MrMobodies> and I think this is going to be a repeat of this time in July 2024

06:34:07 <MrMobodies> It may happen but in Scotland.
06:34:57 <MrMobodies> Yep the looking at the "Flash flooding and hail risk" video
06:35:13 <MrMobodies> It is Scotland
06:35:43 <MrMobodies> They speak of it as a whole
06:36:43 <MrMobodies> it was forecasted to be raining all day according to a forecast on Sunday in this postcode, instead it was a tiny little bit of drizzle from a small cloud that went by,
06:51:42 <MrMobodies> Look what I found

06:51:51 <MrMobodies> "Wednesday 29 August 2018 10:29, UK"
06:52:13 <MrMobodies> This bit "FIFA president Gianni Infantino paid US President Donald Trump a visit at the White House on Tuesday *to discuss the US World Cup in 2026.*"
06:52:40 <MrMobodies> Looks like he was influenced by those lot from the beginning.
06:53:57 <MrMobodies> ""We're going to have a great partnership and it's going to be very special, I look forward to it."
06:54:13 <MrMobodies> That'd be what they tried.
06:54:38 <MrMobodies> Start to make sense where all that stemmed from,
07:04:15 <MrMobodies> Steve30, what is the weather like where you are now?
07:06:08 <MrMobodies> Is the air condenscened?

13:59:22 <arch> T3sl41, whatchu think? good enough for single sided copperclad? (blue tracks are overhead 32 awg magnet wire): https://imgur.com/a/tlQVwLq
13:59:50 <arch> this is for that experiment where i was gonna continue increasing inductance to ridiculous values to see when it bugs out
14:00:10 <arch> so datasheet says 4.7uH max for 5V output, 68uF max capacitance
14:00:23 <T3sl41> what's D1 for?
14:00:34 <arch> im gonna see what happens with a 47uH inductor, and a 100uH inductor
14:01:00 <arch> D1 for some 2-3% efficiency improvement for reverse recovery loss from body diode
14:01:02 Nick: T3sl41 is now known as T3sl4
14:01:28 <T3sl4> is it really that badly timed?
14:01:32 <T3sl4> fucking designers these days
14:01:34 <arch> ive used it before on that same TPS. it works great
14:01:53 <arch> no, it actually is not required. i like putting it though
14:02:08 <arch> TPS is a synch buck so it's unnecessary, just like the extra efficiency
14:02:46 <arch> alright, let's get this badboy rolling. im gonna aim to etch this pcb out by this weekend
14:02:56 <arch> haven't done any ee shit in years
14:04:16 <arch> im gonna be using this inductor, if i can find some. i know i got them...somewhere... https://www.bourns.com/docs/product-datasheets/srp7028a.pdf
14:04:42 <arch> if not, i'll botch job a SRF1260 thruhole one
14:04:49 <arch> or a thruhole one*
14:15:39 <arch> T3sl4, oh yeah, here;s my OG design with all salvaged parts. unfortunately i deleted the kicad design file for it, but that's ok. it was kinda ugly anyway: https://imgur.com/a/Q5ZRVOh
14:18:54 <arch> dammit, wish i hung onto that thing. it's now lost in a pile of random junk... it was ugly, but it worked. good test reference :|
