May 08 12:43:55 <moonpie> Hello - i have ask this q in gerneal and had no response so perhpas it is more of a dev q - i am trying to create a raid1 array with unsung 6.8 but can not get past copying files into /initrd/unslung retruns error 'no space avialable'
May 08 12:44:32 <moonpie> i am following the wiki HowTo: Raid1on Unslung6 - any ideas - suggestions - corrections
May 08 14:45:02 <J_P> hi all
May 08 14:47:52 <rwhitby> rwhitby-n800: how's the n800 going?
May 08 14:48:49 <rwhitby-n800> rwhitby: nice, it even flashed
May 08 17:30:09 <CIA-8> 03bzhou * r6027 10optware/trunk/ (make/avahi.mk sources/avahi/inotify-ifdef.patch): avahi: 0.6.17 -> 0.6.18
May 08 18:04:14 <xkr47> rwhitby rwhitby-n800 :)

May 08 23:08:26 <xkr47> NAiL, http://www.noritake-itron.com/SubPages/ProductsE/vfgucost.htm \o/
May 08 23:09:13 <NAiL> neat
May 08 23:11:25 <xkr47> the whole site seems to be about vfd displays :)
May 08 23:11:45 <NAiL> dunno how to code for those displays though
May 08 23:12:03 <NAiL> the good thing about character lcds is that they're really easy ;)
May 08 23:12:05 <xkr47> they support rs-232 & 8-bit parallell interfaces
May 08 23:12:35 <xkr47> is there some 8-bit parallell interface available on the nslu2 ?
May 08 23:13:28 <NAiL> no
May 08 23:13:34 <NAiL> nor rs-232
May 08 23:13:52 <xkr47> ok but you can solder a rs-232 I understood
May 08 23:13:55 <NAiL> you'll need 3.3v
May 08 23:13:56 <xkr47> and i2c
May 08 23:14:07 <xkr47> for ?
May 08 23:14:11 <NAiL> serial
May 08 23:14:17 <NAiL> rs-232 != 3.3v
May 08 23:14:35 <xkr47> yeah, it's +-12V
May 08 23:14:48 <xkr47> but it's not that hard converting
May 08 23:16:07 <CIA-8> 03bzhou * r6028 10optware/trunk/ (Makefile make/colordiff.mk): added and promoted colordiff
May 08 23:16:37 * xkr47 re-reads the AddASerialPort page
May 08 23:20:01 <xkr47> converter available for $4.90
May 08 23:20:24 <NAiL> 3.3v to 12v?
May 08 23:20:39 <xkr47> http://www.futurlec.com/Mini_RS232_TTL_3V.shtml
May 08 23:20:55 <xkr47> one would guess so :P
May 08 23:23:12 <NAiL> My guess is that that device pulls its power from the rs232 port
May 08 23:24:19 <xkr47> well anyway :)
May 08 23:25:07 <NAiL> and if the rs232 bit is the one you connect to your VFD, it can't pull the power from there
May 08 23:25:36 <xkr47> I recall the nslu2 is fed with 5V, right ?
May 08 23:26:10 <xkr47> but I can add more power supplies or more efficient power supplies to get the thing done :)
May 08 23:26:36 <xkr47> I've built a adjustable power supply 2-30V, 0-1A with short-circuit protection
May 08 23:28:39 <xkr47> w%me guesses i2c would be preferred if supported, I recall it has higher data speeds..
May 08 23:29:00 <NAiL> no idea ;)
