May 12 02:05:08 <set_> Well, I went against the odds and updated my image on the BBG w/ LCD Cape.
May 12 02:05:38 <set_> Blah. rcn was right. The older image only worked for this specific LCD Cape.
May 12 02:05:40 <set_> Oh well.
May 12 02:05:45 <set_> But!
May 12 02:05:59 <set_> I can sign in via the LCD Cape still. There is still hope!
May 12 02:06:43 <set_> There is just no GUI for it. It is a terminal only.
May 12 02:29:17 <GenTooMan> oh heck?
May 12 02:29:26 <set_> Yes?
May 12 02:29:33 <GenTooMan> set_ == heck
May 12 02:29:36 <set_> Oh.
May 12 02:29:37 <set_> Dang.
May 12 02:29:48 <GenTooMan> fyi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtZcnIEi710&list=PLIeJXmcg1baLBz3x0nCDqkYpKs2IWGHk4&index=9
May 12 02:29:50 <set_> What did I do now?
May 12 02:30:44 <set_> I saw that already. I chose to not look at it.
May 12 02:30:57 <set_> Pick and place. It is nifty and nice but not my style.
May 12 02:31:26 <set_> I am waiting to get three more linear actuators.
May 12 02:31:46 <set_> I am going to make a spider monkey bot that cannot control itself well, i.e. well, not w/out commands.
May 12 02:32:05 <GenTooMan> really what type? You do realize there 100's of different types of linear actuators.
May 12 02:32:05 <set_> Or Giraff bot!
May 12 02:32:22 <set_> Yes. I have these cheap-o, depot actuators I have in mind.
May 12 02:32:41 <set_> I already have one. I just need to save to get a complete set of four.
May 12 02:32:59 <GenTooMan> motor driven piezo (which the latter have nm precision) voice coil etc.
May 12 02:33:55 <set_> Hmm. GenTooMan: Just when I am about to have fun, you dry out the atmosphere w/ ideas I have no thoughts on. For instance, piezo. I thought that was a buzzer.
May 12 02:34:26 <set_> Voice coil? What do you mean?
May 12 02:34:42 <GenTooMan> piezo merely refers to a touch of material that changes dimensions when voltage is applied.
May 12 02:34:55 <set_> oh.
May 12 02:35:09 <set_> Okay. So, it is not necessarily a buzzer.
May 12 02:35:17 <set_> It is a flexible thing?
May 12 02:35:44 <set_> Off to look it up before i make the room boring.
May 12 02:36:08 <GenTooMan> type not touch. Voice coils are actuators that move based on the current flowing through them. A common use is a speaker or pair of head phones. However they are used for a lot of things. Piezo elements are used for high precision movement in an electron microscope for example.
May 12 02:37:02 <set_> Aw.
May 12 02:37:13 <set_> Hmm. I think you just made my day.
May 12 02:37:20 <GenTooMan> they are also used for positioning wafers in semi manufacturing.
May 12 02:37:23 <set_> I looked it up. "From latent heat!"
May 12 02:37:34 <set_> wafers?
May 12 02:37:43 <set_> Like, vanilla?
May 12 02:37:56 <GenTooMan> silicon wafers used to make semiconductor ICs
May 12 02:37:59 <set_> Oh.
May 12 02:38:03 <set_> That makes more sense.
May 12 02:38:22 <set_> So, they mash 'em together until they melt onto one another?
May 12 02:38:41 <GenTooMan> not really anyhow enjoy what you were about to do!
May 12 02:38:44 <set_> Then, the cooking begins?
May 12 02:38:47 <set_> Fine.
May 12 02:38:59 <set_> Thank you for jumping in and confusing me more.
May 12 02:43:00 <set_> Anyway, GenTooMan, here are the linear actuators I am going to use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZJ4B272/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
May 12 02:46:54 <set_> I see that piezo refers to many items now, i.e. outside of buzzers.
