Mar 18 11:29:45 <prpplague> das bee has arrived
Mar 18 11:29:55 <beewoolie-away> Hey perp.
Mar 18 11:30:13 <prpplague> beewoolie-away: are you alive after the r1/r2 war?
Mar 18 11:30:13 <beewoolie-away> What's the haps?
Mar 18 11:30:34 <beewoolie-away> prpplague: Heck yeah.  The patch just might fly.
Mar 18 11:30:45 <prpplague> nada, just hacking around with mmc/sd
Mar 18 11:30:50 <beewoolie-away> Nico has suggested that we can detect a valid R2 value without all of the hacking.
Mar 18 11:31:04 <beewoolie-away> How many pins do I need for the I/F?
Mar 18 11:32:21 <prpplague> beewoolie-away: well with the 79520 you can use just the 4 spi lines along with power and ground
Mar 18 11:33:41 <prpplague> beewoolie-away: there is a how to on the sharp web site
Mar 18 11:34:22 <beewoolie-away> I realized that I have a four pin connector that could work, but it sounds like I need six.
Mar 18 11:35:11 <prpplague> yea, 6 total lines, power, ground, chip select, clock, data out, data in
Mar 18 11:38:24 <beewoolie-away> They're showing three grounds which is probably the chip select.
Mar 18 11:46:33 <prpplague> yea, iirc their howto doesn't use the chip select
Mar 18 13:11:46 <beewoolie-away> dyoung: hey there
Mar 18 13:14:43 <dyoung> hi my R2 warrior friend.
Mar 18 13:15:21 <beewoolie-away> I didn't expect that so many folks were listening.
Mar 18 13:20:15 <dyoung> hehe I've been lurking on lak for a while, trying to keep up with you guys.
Mar 18 13:20:28 <dyoung> I gotta meeting.  Back ... later.
Mar 18 13:20:41 <beewoolie-away> ttfn

Mar 18 13:22:04 <prpplague> beewoolie-away: hehe, everyone listens when rmk gets fired up
Mar 18 13:22:39 <beewoolie-away> I hope he takes strong blood pressure control meds.
Mar 18 13:23:12 <prpplague> beewoolie-away: hehe, funny thing is, rml is the most mild mannered person 
Mar 18 13:23:23 <prpplague> beewoolie-away: hehe, its only his emails that sound rough
Mar 18 13:23:23 <beewoolie-away> You've met him?
Mar 18 13:23:32 <prpplague> beewoolie-away: hehe, sure, several times
Mar 18 13:23:40 <beewoolie-away> In the US?

Mar 18 13:25:25 <beewoolie-away> OLS is Ottowa Linux Symposium?
Mar 18 13:27:04 <prpplague> yea
Mar 18 13:27:27 <prpplague> not going this year though, gonna be tight on money after the move
Mar 18 13:27:43 <prpplague> but i don't think very many ppl are going this year either
Mar 18 13:28:04 <prpplague> i know erikm, pb, kergoth, and rmk aren't going this year
Mar 18 16:18:40 <ka6sox-away> hi rand!
Mar 18 16:18:51 <rand> hi ka6sox!
Mar 18 16:19:47 <ka6sox-away> Chad has been writing some VHDL and has a VGA test pattern running on his S3 board.
Mar 18 16:22:20 <rand> what's his goal?
Mar 18 16:26:39 <ka6sox-away> dunno...I think to learn VHDL.
Mar 18 16:32:00 <ka6sox-away> Hi there.
Mar 18 16:32:14 <ka6sox-away> what is your goal with the VGA vhdl that your doing?
Mar 18 16:32:37 <cbpage> just playing around really
Mar 18 16:32:46 <cbpage> i got a ball bouncing around pongishly
Mar 18 16:32:54 <rand> fun
Mar 18 16:32:56 <cbpage> going to do more interesting things later... when i get around to em
Mar 18 16:33:24 <cbpage> managed to get an 800x600 mode that works on the lcd
Mar 18 16:33:46 <cbpage> and i have the linux tools installed - including impact
Mar 18 16:34:49 <ka6sox-away> what machine are you doing this on?
Mar 18 16:34:53 <cbpage> spud
Mar 18 16:35:06 <cbpage> i'll have it on my 600e before i go to hawaii... hopefully it'll be somewhat usable ;)
Mar 18 16:36:44 <ka6sox-away> well..for editing and doing impact there won't be a penalty..just synthesis and fit.
Mar 18 16:37:45 <cbpage> yeah
Mar 18 16:37:53 <cbpage> better than nothing ;)
Mar 18 17:29:49 <ka6sox-away> yes indeed...I really like Boo...doing a great job.
