but except of (double-)tap and free-fall I found nothing that's missing
<DocScrutinizer05>
and for those 3 we still got LIS302 which can do all 3
<DocScrutinizer05>

* DocScrutinizer05
wonders where from the line "I'm freeeeee, free falling" came in his mind
<DocScrutinizer05>
tap and double-tap are somewhat mutually exclusive ;-)
* DocScrutinizer05
wonders if we should place BNO055 in lower right corner and LIS302 in upper left. So you could distinguish some acceleration by magnitude from both accels.
<Oksana>
Ok, so we replace BMC150+BMG160 with BNO055, LIS302DL stays here (to detect free-fall, tap and double-tap). | somewhat mutually exclusive? Well, you cannot detect them at the same time (and user is not going to tap the phone while it's in free-fall, either), but when two taps are very close to each other, they become double-tap?
<DocScrutinizer05>
yes
<DocScrutinizer05>
all 100% correct
<wpwrak>
seems that the interrupt pin of BNO055 is fixed at active-high, push-pull. so it'll need a dedicated input
<wpwrak>
(apart from the two new ones for reset and boot mode)
* wpwrak
wonders if ti have the dm3730 also in a 1000+ ball bga :)
<wpwrak>
we still want to connect both INTs of the LIS320, right ?
<DocScrutinizer05>
wpwrak: Oh shite!
<DocScrutinizer05>
I guess we might want BMX in the end
<wpwrak>
;-)
<DocScrutinizer05>
toldya embedded MCU might be a PITA
<DocScrutinizer05>
boot????
<DocScrutinizer05>
daf...q
<DocScrutinizer05>
yes. we would want to keep pur nifty IRQ setup
<DocScrutinizer05>
our*
<DocScrutinizer05>
the purpose of which been to have only two GPIO sacrificed for that
<DocScrutinizer05>
I don't like "windows ACME HID controller" crap
<wpwrak>
(boot) it has a nBOOT_LOAD_PIN to tell the boot loader to accept a firmware update. don't ask me why they think they need an extra pin for that ...
<wpwrak>
;-)))
<DocScrutinizer05>
ok, BNO is dead
<Oksana>
BMX055, then?
<wpwrak>
(when we get an mcu for nfc, and do all those things without extra pin, maybe we should patent it, then license it to bosch for a heap of money ;-))
<DocScrutinizer05>
I rather thoroughly checked and evaluated BMX, for BNO I was lazy
<DocScrutinizer05>
and I still don't see the need for NFC MCU
<wpwrak>
BMX is basically BMC150 + BMG160 in the same package, right ?
<DocScrutinizer05>
NFC has none of the restrictions/requirements that would ask for a dedicated MCU
<DocScrutinizer05>
yep, right
<DocScrutinizer05>
aiui
<DocScrutinizer05>
it's kind of a pity since the accel in BNO has 2 bits higher resolution aiui. But when it needs firmware updates, boot and whatnot, and has a shitty push-pull IRQ, we better forget about it
<DocScrutinizer05>
Nik will frown, but I can't help it
<DocScrutinizer05>
naybe the "higher resolution" is a fake though. Might be 2 LSBs = 0 in 8g mode
<wpwrak>
i'll write a mail for the list ...
<DocScrutinizer05>
1 in 4g mode, 0 in 2g mode
<DocScrutinizer05>
so only 12 significant bits, shifted into place
<DocScrutinizer05>
(mail) thanks!
<DocScrutinizer05>
I goota chill a few minutes (or hours), sorry

Good night

hugs his Rigol a last time and heads out direction bedroom
<DocScrutinizer05>
;-D
<wpwrak>
;-))
<DocScrutinizer05>
OOOOH how discourteous of me. Maybe Rigol also wants to sleep in own bed err bag
<wpwrak>
a true gentleneer would let his scope have the bed and sleep on the couch
<DocScrutinizer05>
no couch here and I don't fit into the Rigol softbag
<DocScrutinizer05>
it's a tight but snugly fir for this Rigol
<DocScrutinizer05>
fit*
<Oksana>
:-)
<wpwrak>
so, no block diagram update for now. i hope we'll have a final verdict on BMX vs. BNO tomorrow. one more thing not to like about the BNO: contains closed firmware. (oh, and the FSF would have a fit, too, i guess ;-)
<DocScrutinizer05>
"FSF would have to fit?" I agree that FSF won't like it, particularly for their RYF "project". But what counts much more: *I* don't like it, particularly since we have not a single benefit from such firmware
<DocScrutinizer05>
I however fail to understand the meaning of "FSF would have to fit"
<DocScrutinizer05>
ooh, mail
<Oksana>
would have *a* fit. We are not going to fit entire FSF inside anything, are we?
<Oksana>
:-)
<DocScrutinizer05>
I prolly have no idea about the idiom "have a fit"
<infobot>
Dictionary 'have a fit' get very angry and fly into a rage; "The professor combusted when the student didn't know the answer to a very elementary question"; "Spam makes me go ballistic"
<Oksana>
To experience an epileptic seizure, or to become suddenly enraged. :-)
<svetlana>
Yes, exactly. (Etymology is unclear yet though.)
<svetlana>
FSF is not known to rage about non-free things; the advocacy doesn't go as far as rage, to my knowledge. :p
<DocScrutinizer05>
"combusted"? that's even more bizarre ;-)
* svetlana
hands a box of matches to DocScrutinizer05
<DocScrutinizer05>
svetlana: :nod:
<Oksana>
Fit: (medicine, dated) A seizure or convulsion. (medicine) A sudden and vigorous appearance of a symptom over a short period of time. A sudden outburst of emotion. A sudden burst (of an activity). Etymology: Unknown, possibly from Old English fitt (“conflict”).
<svetlana>
:o
<DocScrutinizer05>
oooh, yes that fits ;-D

i'm a bit worried that DocScrutinizer05 may be the one who'll start the zombie apocalypse. already while alive, he goes to sleep a dozen times every day, yet is always awake.
<DocScrutinizer05>
a trick of the senses, maybe that's already my AI answering
<Oksana>
Neat...
<DocScrutinizer05>
some say I'm only some AI and statements like "I'm going to have a nap" are just to trick you into thinking I'm human
<wpwrak>
hah, now it all makes sense ! that's also why you never go to meetings/conferences :)
<Oksana>
Nay, not falling for the trick. If there was an AI already advanced enough to do this... It would have been used by military and mining industry first. You are neither.
<DocScrutinizer05>
you're sure? ;-)
<DocScrutinizer05>
Oksana: the mini newsletter is almost perfect
<Oksana>
:-) Comments are welcome.
<DocScrutinizer05>
2 or 3 details need some small adjustment
<DocScrutinizer05>
the scope is not "for testing proto_v2", this sounds like we needed that scope and only that scope and couldn't test proto_v2 without it
<DocScrutinizer05>
it's just another tool in the lab, that augments what and how we can do in R&D
<DocScrutinizer05>
"We do our very best" sounds like we are not sure to succeed. And it lacks a reason why we strive for that. The reason I gave was "reduce number of board spins, by avoiding building a board with bugs we could have avoided if we just had checked more thoroughly beforehand"
<DocScrutinizer05>
the RGB LEDs are a tad on the "too expensive" side before we cpllect funds for sourcing risk parts. We need 8 LEDs per board, x 1000
<DocScrutinizer05>
(board spins) ... are expensive, and for us take lots of time
che1 has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]
<wpwrak>
what what what ? 8 of the side-facing RGB LEDs ? we have 6 at the moment, like N900. if you want more, we also need more controllers.
<wpwrak>
we also have three top-facing RGB LEDs, one for privacy, two for "aux"
<DocScrutinizer05>
aux are side facing
<wpwrak>
oh. so only "privacy" is top-facing ?
<DocScrutinizer05>
yup

DocScrutinizer05: btw, now that you have a lovely new toy (i hope both of you spent the night well :), why don't you dazzle us with screenshots from a setup like this ? http://neo900.org/stuff/werner/tmp/ir4ch.pdf
<DocScrutinizer05>
which night?
<DocScrutinizer05>
;-)
<DocScrutinizer05>
nice, you actually met the colors
<DocScrutinizer05>
stay tuned, soon coming
<wpwrak>
night = absence of light-carrying particles. since anti-particles can generally be considered largely equivalent to their non-anti counterparts, that would include anti-photons. so when sunlight is visible, it is due to the absence of anti-photons cancelling out the light. ergo this is night.
<wpwrak>
(colors) great ! the 4th one is pretty hard to see in rigol's marketing picture :)
<DocScrutinizer05>
it's a tad lighter more ultramarine blue in rigol's display
<DocScrutinizer05>
and the light blue is a tad more turquoise
<DocScrutinizer05>
I already made the poor thing lock up twice ;-P
<DocScrutinizer05>
every key just made a ack click but nothing happened
<DocScrutinizer05>
maybe it didn't like USB and ethernet same time. Or it was the D-Link WLAN stick I plugged to where it expects a flash stick
<DocScrutinizer05>
;-P
<DocScrutinizer05>
btw re IR: I wonder how they build those 1.4GHz bandwidth IR fiber things
<DocScrutinizer05>
or even higer, 10GHz, 100 1000?
<DocScrutinizer05>
there's a blind spot in my virtual library of reference application notes
<DocScrutinizer05>
well, I guess they use sth like QAM or whatever
* DocScrutinizer05
idly wonders if USB devices per bus explode at 255 or at 999
<DocScrutinizer05>
I might manage to reach at least first limit
<wpwrak>
should be 127. that's the number of device addresses (this things that get assigned during enumeration) you have. (0 is for the reset state.)
<wpwrak>
there must be some sort of routing/filtering at the hub level, though. else, one couldn't enumerate when more than one new device is on the bus
<DocScrutinizer51>
anyway USB would look faintly nice if the protocol in those 3 channels was known
<Oksana>
Good morning. (massively off topic) Skill and knowledge? Good. Wealth and power? Overrated. Games? No time for them, there is War coming to Earth, be it in this century or in the next one.
<wpwrak>
indeed. never lose sight of the severity of the situation :)
