hmm, to use Xn...Xnn component references or to use Xsnn, this is the question. where X is R, C, U, etc., s is the sheet number, and n the component's number.
<wpwrak>
pro Xsnn: you can tell by the component reference on which sheet to look. contra: references get long.

now ... hot glue guns seem to work with temperatures in the range 95-140 C. acrylic melts at 160 C. perhaps the mold doesn't even have to be metal then.
<viric>
larsc: and an ubifs
<viric>
why would I want ext4?
<viric>
does ubifs scale well to 16GB?
<larsc>
viric: if you want to use ext4 no ubifs

<whitequark>
wpwrak: I'm afraid you'll have a hard time separating hot glue from acrylic
<viric>
no no, I don't care about the fs.
<whitequark>
although... I can probably even test that
<viric>
I'm just surprised the instructions I've found suggest to use ext4 over mtdblock
<larsc>
viric: To be honst I don't know if there are advantages by using ext4 rtaher than ubifs, but if I had to guess I'd say no
<wpwrak>
whitequark: would be interesting. my hot glue experiments so far ended with the CCC glue gun overheating :-(
<wpwrak>
i wonder how much longer we'll have to read about miracle scopes with sky-high analog bandwidth and ridiculous sample rates :-(
<wpwrak>
i mean 1-2 GSPS is quite alright for a few hundred MHz, but 900 MHz analog bandwidth is just an absurd claim
<wpwrak>
the concept is nice, though. also the way he does probes.
<wpwrak>
whitequark: there are also all sorts of mold release that reduce stickiness. e.g., you could try olive oil. that should be good until about 190 C.
<whitequark>
hmmm
<wpwrak>
the nozzle may get a bit too hot, so you'd have to plan on having some room on the acrylic that can be melted
<wpwrak>
plan B: use wood. that plays nicely even with molten lead. one drawback is its porosity. wood + glue could be a bit of a challenge for the mold release :)
<whitequark>
nope, just put it in water
<whitequark>
(but that makes mold essentially usable once)
<whitequark>
honestly at this point I'm not sure if that glue is good for anything at all
<wpwrak>
have you tried it ?
<whitequark>
it doesn't stick very well to anything and even if it sticks moderately well, water makes it just fall away
<whitequark>
yes
<whitequark>
well, not for molds, for fixing stuff
<wpwrak>
well, that sounds perfect for molding ;-)
<whitequark>
but what would you use the molded parts for?
<wpwrak>
russian anti-stick glue, designed for DIY molding ;-))
<wpwrak>
cases ? prototypes ?
<whitequark>
uhh, cases? out of that rubbery shit?
<wpwrak>
doesn't it get fairly hard after a while ? hard enough for not overly demanding things as least
<whitequark>
not really, it's always kinda rubbery
<whitequark>
think very slightly harder than household silicone stuff
<whitequark>
although you may conceivably do a case for something waterproof if you make two molded parts and then fuse them together with heat
<whitequark>
but that last part sounds quite error-prone and hard to get right reliably
<whitequark>
perhaps if you get sticks out of something else than LDPE, say, I dunno, HDPE or PP, it would be much better
<whitequark>
"hot melt adhesive to be used on Mouse, fly, mosquitos and insect caputuring. "
<whitequark>
...
<whitequark>
how exactly they imagine this working?
root_empire has joined #qi-hardware
<whitequark>
wow, I could never imagine there are SO MUCH different hot melt glues
<whitequark>
also, it appears that the regular sticks are EVA and not LDPE, though I did find pics of some LDPE sticks and now I know what that *really horrible really low quality* stick set was made of
<wpwrak>
(mouse capturing) easy: locate mouse, trap mouse, heat up glue, hold down mouse and dispense glue over mouse
<wpwrak>
and yes, there seems to be a lot of choices. apparently, the most common ones around here are made of silicone. so they're quite flexible.
<whitequark>
silicone?!
<whitequark>
seriously?
<whitequark>
I mean, to me it looks like they just want to call it "silicone" for some reason, it's not the actual matierla
<whitequark>
*material
<whitequark>
e.g. I was so far unable to locate anything on alibaba that was *actually* made out of silicone
<whitequark>
and not just "Silicone Hot Glue Stick / Material: EVA"
<whitequark>
wpwrak: not really, my CNC still doesn't work

(I've been busy with the day job lately)

(cnc) oh, did it come up with new surprises ? how generous of it :)

well, s/surprises/challenges/ :)

I almost assembled together a replacement (had to use a SATA-IDE adapter), but I don't have a SATA data cable atm
<whitequark>
need to buy it
<wpwrak>
oh. time to make the DIY controller ?
<whitequark>
no, time to buy a cable
<whitequark>
I'm almost entirely satisfied with EMC2
<wpwrak>
damn :)
<whitequark>
one thing at a time, wpwrak, one thing at a time :)
<wpwrak>
yeah, i was hoping to catch you at the moment when you hate everything EMC2 does simply because it's unfamiliar, and make a nice little controller solution
<whitequark>
:D
<whitequark>
I never really hated any part of EMC2 except for the LPT port thingy
<wpwrak>
now that this moment has passed, i'll have to wait for someone else before i can try that again ...
<whitequark>
it's a great little project
