Apr 27 17:09:30 <pizza_> how can i idle forever if i keep getting fucking dropped?
Apr 27 17:42:52 <AchiestDragon> try a diferent freenode server 
Apr 27 17:43:21 <AchiestDragon> the reason it drops is loss of a ping from the server 
Apr 27 17:44:24 <AchiestDragon> some irc clients are a bit better than others also , konverstation and xchat  work well
Apr 27 17:45:22 <AchiestDragon> if you have high net usage at your end it may drop a ping that will cause a timeout also 
Apr 27 17:46:29 <AchiestDragon> doing a /list may also drop the ping 
Apr 27 18:02:54 <prpplague> AchiestDragon: ping
Apr 27 18:03:04 <AchiestDragon> pong
Apr 27 18:03:30 <prpplague> AchiestDragon: pinout for a generic arm board for hobbists - http://pastebin.com/685398
Apr 27 18:03:35 <prpplague> AchiestDragon: thoughts?
Apr 27 18:03:51 <AchiestDragon> looking 
Apr 27 18:06:22 <AchiestDragon> i would be tempted to set the adc_vref  to a value on the board ,  say to allow for a 0 to 3.3v range on the inputs ,, that would give you room for another analog input 
Apr 27 18:07:09 <AchiestDragon> if theres room on the pcb for it that is 
Apr 27 18:08:55 <AchiestDragon> otherwise looks kool
Apr 27 18:09:10 <prpplague> AchiestDragon: yea, i was curious about doing that
Apr 27 18:10:48 <AchiestDragon> well any serious a-d converter input circut would use a op amp arrangment on the input so the range can be set easaly with that making the vref setting just extra work 
Apr 27 18:11:59 <prpplague> ahh ok cool
Apr 27 18:12:26 <AchiestDragon> and as the vref is basicaly 2 resitors , even if sureface mount , if it is a must that a app needs i diferent range then its not mutch of a problem for the user to change them for that 
Apr 27 18:13:07 <AchiestDragon> rather than it beeing a must for every user to add 2 external ones 
Apr 27 18:19:18 <AchiestDragon> the only thing that i find flustrating is the fact that the gpoi is never in a continus bit orentated format , but theres little option 
Apr 27 18:20:48 <prpplague> AchiestDragon: agreed
Apr 27 18:20:53 <AchiestDragon> ie theres 28  posible dio lines  but  to send a 8 bit byte to it  reqires some bit translation as there never seems to be more than 5 in sequence
Apr 27 18:23:05 <prpplague> AchiestDragon: yea, thats why i've created some char devices to help with that from linux
Apr 27 18:24:57 <AchiestDragon> i like to write clean code in asm , and find that it 1 makes the code  larger than what would be needed and slower 
Apr 27 18:27:01 <prpplague> AchiestDragon: yea 
Apr 27 18:27:11 <prpplague> AchiestDragon: this device will be running linux
Apr 27 18:27:27 <prpplague> AchiestDragon: so it will be easy to do write access
Apr 27 18:27:52 <AchiestDragon> for example   move data to port  is a lot easyer and quicker than   if data bit 1 is 1 then set port a bit 2 , if data bit 2 is 1 then set port c bit 14  .....
Apr 27 18:28:43 <AchiestDragon> the other also leads to  unaligned  timeing  
Apr 27 18:31:53 <AchiestDragon> wow  finaly a spam ai that is turfing out meaningfull messages !!! whatever next

Apr 27 18:34:00 <AchiestDragon> thay normaly seem to be just a collection of words with no apparent sentance construction 
Apr 27 18:35:02 <AchiestDragon> although  by the looks thay still do not relate to the subject of the email  
Apr 27 18:36:02 <AchiestDragon> still is wating to find out what there trying to sell though   lol 
Apr 27 18:48:03 <prpplague> AchiestDragon: http://pastebin.com/685491
Apr 27 18:48:08 <prpplague> AchiestDragon: without vref
Apr 27 18:49:11 <AchiestDragon> yay kool :)
