7:06 Miaximus-1: New stuff is good 🙂
7:06 Tekee: Here’s to chill week!
7:06 ashleyvansteenacker: make live
7:06 Dosbomber: wtf: Half hour Google+ show “Show-n-Tell” has been going on for 3 weeks now. You should check it out, it’s hackers showing off their projects in a live stream.
7:06 HackedGadgets: Darn, missed it
7:06 robotjohn: and makerfaire is at the ford!
7:06 georgegraves: 3 weeks
7:06 HackedGadgets: lol
7:06 Tekee: I love shows where the hosts can drink beer if they want to.
7:06 physics_dude: Come on! Stream won’t load…
7:07 wtfwtfdef: ford was a nazi
7:07 HackedGadgets: Q; is it recorded?
7:07 jersagfast: with an fm soundtrack
7:07 Zadster: Gran’pa Fried
7:07 AngrySpinach: they send photos back and forth
7:07 drenboy: over 2400baud ;p
7:07 jersagfast: yes, it’s recorded
7:07 Dosbomber: The Show-n-Tell is live
7:07 AngrySpinach: 1 baud
7:07 drenboy: lol
7:07 saytest-1: the limit of hangout is just 10 🙁
7:07 Dosbomber: Oh, it’s recorded as it happens, but not pre-recorded.
7:07 wtfwtfdef: i was on smoke signal binary 10,000 years ago
7:07 AngrySpinach: It was called “the postal system”
7:07 Zadster: back in the olde days, everyone had to do Show n Tell over Morse telegraph
7:07 wtfwtfdef: the man who invented the wheel used it as a ornament before finding a function
7:08 drenboy: lol they called it hackerspace teepee ;p
7:08 Tekee: We can deal with the adversity.
7:08 AngrySpinach: the town crier would relay my show n tell message
7:08 mark8675: Don’t cross the Ustream
7:08 AngrySpinach: lol
7:08 drenboy: nuuuu
7:08 Hashiba_: You might be able to do that with “syphon”
7:08 wtfwtfdef: lool @drenboy
7:08 Tekee: MORE POWER!!!
7:08 scott-42: If your using a mac, use CamTwist for video and WireTap Anywhere for the audio
7:08 ashleyvansteenacker: olove apple
7:08 JMartinez9: use a desktop!
7:08 raysolomon: Mac? LOL
7:08 johngineer: lol semaphore show and tell
7:08 ipadfanboysf: Doesn’t everyone need a giant Mac Pro… ?
7:08 yachris: lol mark
7:08 drenboy: I’m givin it all she’s got cap’tn
7:08 jersagfast: I have a 27″ iMac with an i7 that DEVOURS video. 🙂

7:08 foxxtrotalpha: d
7:08 JMartinez9: 😀
7:08 georgegraves: Q: You’ll want a virtual web cam software – but it might mess with ustream.
7:08 AngrySpinach: MAKE IT TWEET!!!!
7:08 Miaximus-1: q: Lion is Awesome
7:09 jersagfast: yup
7:09 SierraNevada1: I love my my macbook pro
7:09 ashleyvansteenacker: me to
7:09 mjusticz: Thanks george!
7:09 AngrySpinach: Lion is deeply awesome
7:09 physics_dude: C’mon, my stream won’t load on any browser.
7:09 georgegraves: Thanks!
7:09 socket11: Very cool, Good job!
7:09 ransomhall: patch bea!
7:09 ipadfanboysf: Thanks, I always wondered how that’s pronounced.
7:09 AngrySpinach: I hacked my alarm clock to acutally wake me up for this!!!
7:09 wtfwtfdef: the way its spelt, its pronounnced pa-kube-bee
7:09 drenboy: its a flu-virus soundalike
7:09 SierraNevada1: dual video is kind of iffy sometimes though
7:09 ADAbot: george: yah, virtual web cams with ustream and google+ hangout don’t work
grySpinach: Tekee “DA” bomb you mean
7:11 ADAbot: we all need to make a wiki or something for the video stuff
7:11 AngrySpinach: yes
7:11 addidis: yeah and perhaps design some sort of audio mixer
7:11 jersagfast: good idea.
7:12 AngrySpinach: video vednesday
7:12 AngrySpinach: or wideo wednesday
7:12 Len17: No Zednesday is Zencart.
7:12 ransomhall: tried thingspeak… nice graphing
7:12 Len17: I think they’ve run out of days.
7:12 ashleyvansteenacker: no kits
7:12 AngrySpinach: waskawy wabbit
7:12 drenboy: wideonesday ;p
7:12 wtfwtfdef: mail is dead
7:12 wtfwtfdef: eventually you’ll just recdeive a 3d printer file to your local 3d printer
7:12 drenboy: parcels aren’t dead tho
7:12 ashleyvansteenacker: the same in belgium
7:12 AngrySpinach: Streaming Saturday
7:12 socket11: Ugly stamps!
7:13 jersagfast: Blog post:
7:13 jersagfast: http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2011/07/26/post-office-releases-list-of-nearly-3700-closings/
7:13 raysolomon: last time I mailed a letter was 10 years ago
7:13 AngrySpinach: what is mail?
7:13 wtfwtfdef: the postal system is dead like cd’s, and the way books will be
7:13 wtfwtfdef: dead as doornails
7:13 mjusticz: That’s an exaggeration
7:13 AngrySpinach: Sort of like 3d tvs in 5 years
7:13 mjusticz: How else would you get things you bought online?
7:13 socket11: Boo! LOL
7:13 wtfwtfdef: there will always be a niche market
7:13 Dosbomber: UPS
7:13 wtfwtfdef: like for vinyle
7:13 mjusticz: You need a shipping infrastructure
7:13 mjusticz: and you can’t leave that to private companies
7:14 Zadster: post office closures here in the UK is a big deal too
7:14 ransomhall: gah! dont make me go to walmart
7:14 wtfwtfdef: you can still pick up vynle lp’s and make tube-amps for the instrument qualities
7:14 drenboy: we need a service which provides APIs to the mail services
7:14 socket11: Wal-mart will have everything in 10 years.
7:14 jmcglinn: seven11 in canada
7:14 mjusticz: UPS could then dictate whatever cost they wanted…
7:14 Miaximus-1: I’m sure we’ll loose Saturday USPS soon
7:14 mjusticz: ending usps is creating a monopoly
7:14 yachris: Well, there’s fedex too
7:14 jersagfast: They are going postal!
7:14 mjusticz: or price fixing could occur between fedex and ups
7:15 jmcglinn: i want to see the sorting machines
7:15 ipadfanboysf: I’ve been really impressed with how fast Priority Mail from Adafruit arrives in SF. Same as UPS 3 day air.
7:15 Joebanks: DHL lost too many US customer’s shipments for me to ever use them again
7:15 ransomhall: letters to santa go where?
7:15 danmongeau: if you have the oppourtunity, or call around, team up with a local business who may be pushing enough volume with UPS or FedEx and have good discounts.. makes a BIG difference.
7:15 wtfwtfdef: mail will go the way of the ponyexpress
7:15 drenboy: that picture loos so happy
7:15 drenboy: *looks
7:15 saytest-1: they have specialized imaging tech for OCRing address
7:15 raysolomon: look closer
7:15 wtfwtfdef: once digital printing becomes more real, and the atoms will create the actual molecule, so the same molecular weight and strentght of material is there
7:16 georgegraves: blog post: http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2011/07/26/post-office-releases-list-of-nearly-3700-closings/
7:16 Miaximus-1: No I don’t think it will ever completely go away, the Government needs the ability for us to mail things To them
7:16 addidis: cheers
7:16 Miaximus-1: UPS/Fedex are great for Inboud, but you still need Outbound for taxes, etc.
7:16 drenboy: oh that’s cool
7:16 AngrySpinach: Q: Is the post office in the states private or national???
7:16 bob_mct: interesting
7:16 Dosbomber: Federal
7:16 socket11: National
7:16 zerth: half and half
7:16 AngrySpinach: cool
7:16 jmcglinn: NYC to westcoast is slowish
7:16 Zadster: big hub in Memphis too
7:16 johngineer: yeah it’s privatized but with a federal mandate
7:16 ashleyvansteenacker: qustoms 90 das
7:16 jersagfast: i heart NY
7:16 ransomhall: the other half is funded by junkmail
7:16 zerth: it needs to cover its own funding, but is run by the gov
7:17 mjusticz: or a dead body
7:17 jersagfast: Like the parts soldered..
7:17 socket11: Cool idea!
7:17 Zadster: I’m a saddo, I love tracking parcels from half way around the world
7:17 jersagfast: in the RS pic
7:17 mjusticz: just sayin’
7:17 drenboy: Zadster – me 2 lol
7:17 AngrySpinach: tracking systems are the bane of my life
7:17 saytest-1: anchorage, AK is a big air shipping hub to Asia
7:17 AngrySpinach: I cannot look away
7:18 jersagfast: Congrats guys!!!
7:18 drenboy: who writes their own mail website scraper? 😛
7:18 georgegraves: Blog post@adafruit in a @radioshack ad…. well, USB Boarduino :): http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2011/07/26/adafruit-in-a-radioshack-ad-well-usb-boarduino/
7:18 LawOfAnalog: test!
7:18 AngrySpinach: sue them now!!!!
7:18 AngrySpinach: LITIGATION
7:18 Zadster: hehe fair use
7:18 AngrySpinach: damn
7:18 physics_dude: neither my computer nor my phone can display this stream, this never happened to me before… Who devided by zero?!?!?!
7:18 jersagfast: lol
7:18 AngrySpinach: Sorry I typed google into google
7:18 daidny: divide*
7:18 johngineer: even without fair use… why sue them?
7:18 georgegraves: Fourm post : http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=22060&start=15 “iCufflinks improved battery life code change”
7:18 johngineer: waste of time + money
7:18 AngrySpinach: for the hell of it!

7:21 ADAbot: still looks good
7:21 ashleyvansteenacker: true
7:21 ransomhall: try spining it like a POV! ha
7:22 AngrySpinach: I need to update my burger
7:22 ADAbot: ring “maybe”
7:22 jersagfast: guys in suits with FTDI cables..
7:22 paperkettle: sorry if this got spammed earlier, but Im not sure if ustream actually posted: my google+ acount for updates on codebending/illucia: http://www.paperkttle.com/+
7:22 Miaximus-1: Cool 🙂
7:22 Zadster: Im waiting patiently for the watch project 🙂
7:22 paperkettle: err. typo fail.. http://www.paperkettle.com/+
7:22 HackedGadgets: Need to put a JTAG on the cufflinks!
7:22 mark8675: woot woot HOT tweezers!!!!!
7:22 AngrySpinach: yay
7:23 raysolomon: cufflinks for shoelaces? possible idea

7:24 mjusticz: Is the stream consistantly freezing for anyone else?
7:24 johngineer: no
7:24 Duckie58: no
7:24 mjusticz: ok
7:24 addidis: no
7:24 jersagfast: New camera! 🙂
7:24 mjusticz: thanks
7:24 saytest-1: a metcal heats up in something like less than 5seconds
7:24 raysolomon: no
7:24 AngrySpinach: niet
7:24 yachris: no
7:24 albertstraub: not freezing here
7:25 Zadster: stream is fine here
7:25 johngineer: I just leave my soldering iron on 24 hours a day.
7:25 Miaximus-1: Ahhhhh
7:25 Miaximus-1: Wild!
7:25 johngineer: even when I go on vacation. just in case.
7:25 jersagfast: lol
7:25 JMartinez9: Q: what does a pair of those tweezers run?
7:25 Miaximus-1: Sweet
7:25 HackedGadgets: Nice
7:25 jersagfast: nice.
7:25 raysolomon: neat
7:25 yachris: wow!
7:25 ADAbot: about $150
7:25 Joebanks: Is she putting pressure on, or is there a spring loaded system?
7:25 albertstraub: After working in consumer electronics I unplug everything before I go on vacation for fear it will burn down my house.
7:26 saytest-1: metcals are big $$$
7:26 Dosbomber: I’m hoping that’s for the full system, not just the tweezer tips
7:26 JMartinez9: Q: are there any low cost tweezer options? DIY version?
7:26 paperkettle: nice
7:26 socket11: Does it damage the compnet taken off?
7:26 saytest-1: check out used metcals
7:26 socket11: componet?
7:26 addidis: perhaps even scrounging stuff from junk easily
7:26 albertstraub: Does solder wick work?
7:26 ransomhall: adjustable temp?
7:26 raysolomon: :Q possible heat damage?
7:27 johngineer: some things you should just buy.
7:27 jersagfast: Tweasermans + lighter
7:27 yachris: Solder wick works great… for one thing at a time 🙂
7:27 addidis: I saw a writeup of sticking copper bars on a solder tip for similar effect
7:27 wtfwtfdef: DIY lowcost version is the one where you take two bread knives and stick them in a element or in a fire till red hot, then use them to grab the componnent
7:27 saytest-1: metcals use smartheat technology
7:27 jersagfast: q: adjustable temp?
7:27 saytest-1: the tips are temp rated
7:28 jersagfast: thx!
7:28 physics_dude: q: what are the main topics today? (no stream for me)
7:29 yachris: Demo’d solder-tweezers removing a chip

7:29 Miaximus-1: Most definitely
7:29 georgegraves: TUTORIAL: Micro SD card- Using SD cards with an Arduino!: http://www.ladyada.net/products/microsd/
7:29 yachris: Now showing a SD card adapter
7:29 ashleyvansteenacker: and you steal the image from bill gates
7:29 jersagfast: VERY nice work on the SD stuff!
7:30 albertstraub: What does that chip do?
7:30 georgegraves: Download the library : https://github.com/adafruit/SD
7:30 addidis: level shifter
7:30 jersagfast: great library!
7:30 albertstraub: Ah..
7:30 jersagfast: level shifter
7:30 socket11: SD as storage for image flash.
7:30 saytest-1: Q: the sd card breakout has a level shift?
7:30 yachris: DEFINITELY worth it!
7:30 Zadster: SD cards use 3.3v, Arduinos use 5v
7:30 jersagfast: did she just call me fat?
7:30 ransomhall: support SDHC?
7:30 AngrySpinach: I forgot the 3v thing once
7:30 AngrySpinach: smoke
7:31 jersagfast: ouch..
7:31 wtfwtfdef: sd you usually want xfat
7:31 Dosbomber: eeek
7:31 raysolomon: sdhc version would be nice
7:31 JMartinez9: Q: sdfat support file creation date time and modified date time, are you gonna provide a example code?
7:31 albertstraub: Where can you get the spec for SD cards?
7:31 ransomhall: some cards seem to work better than others… dont go cheap
7:31 georgegraves: MicroSD card breakout board+ – v1: http://www.adafruit.com/products/254
7:31 saytest-1: Q: SDHC?
7:31 addidis: sd association has the protocols
7:31 AngrySpinach: Q: Could you use this instead of a data logging shield?
7:32 raysolomon: nice
7:32 jersagfast: yes, see tutorial
7:32 AngrySpinach: is sdhc just faster sd
7:32 ADAbot: (yep, sdhc)
7:32 ashleyvansteenacker: stolen from bill
7:32 ransomhall: high capacity
7:32 Zadster: larger capacity
7:32 raysolomon: higher capacity
7:32 AngrySpinach: oh
7:32 ransomhall: >2Gb
7:32 AngrySpinach: hyper cool
7:32 Dosbomber: What was “stolen” from Bill Gates?
7:33 yachris: 640k 🙂
7:33 Zadster: Its a nightmare getting information about accessing SD cards in fast mode
7:33 jersagfast: lol
7:33 addidis: or if it is triggered externally
7:33 johngineer: higher cost
7:33 ashleyvansteenacker: the image of the sd card
7:33 Improviser: Q : Use it to record servo position data?
7:33 Dosbomber: lol
7:33 paperkettle: Q: This board is perfect for a project I have in mind – random side question – have you ever considered a breakout for AT90USB1286 like the one you have for ATMEGA32U4?
7:33 ransomhall: SDHC realtively cheap
7:33 AngrySpinach: ninjas
7:33 ransomhall: per Mb
7:33 jersagfast: Mac OSX, oh wait, nevermind..
7:33 AngrySpinach: watch out for ninjas
7:33 wtfwtfdef: or a max232
7:33 albertstraub: Must have one.
7:33 paperkettle: I’d love to be all open source but the project I have in mind would be teensy++
7:34 socket11: BEER RUN!
7:34 JMartinez9: Q: does the sd board/library support full speed read/write to card?
7:34 wtfwtfdef: beer is for girls
7:34 wtfwtfdef: vodka&coke ftw
nsteenacker: bumpers on the arduino
7:41 mark8675: rubber buggy baby bumpers!
7:41 Fightcube: rubber baby buggy bumpers 😉
7:41 yachris: Spammers are relentless. I run a site with a contact form, lots of code to keep spammers out, they still figure it out.
7:42 AngrySpinach: I have no bumpers 🙁
7:42 albertstraub: AngrySpinach – Exactly! Way too much time.
7:42 Zadster: aka Feet
7:42 johngineer: another thing to remember is that the ADC values fill a 16-bit field with 10-bits of data, so you’re sending 2 bytes instead of one, so cut that number in half again…
7:42 georgegraves: PART FINDER FRIDAY – Rubber bumpers: http://www.ladyada.net/wiki/partfinder/packaging?s[]=bumper
7:42 socket11: These rock!
7:42 yachris: All to spam two or three people… sad…
7:42 ADAbot: :: Welcome to the weekly adafruit “ask an engineer chat” ::
7:42 ADAbot: :: for all the makers here – use the code “FORD” to get 10% off many kits!
7:42 LawOfAnalog: What’s wrong with rubber bumpers? They have feelings too. The workhorse of the lab.
7:42 ADAbot: :: at the end of the hour we will have a special giveaway!
7:42 Fightcube: jinx mark!
7:42 AngrySpinach: I can has bumper
