2011-10-03 06:29 <wpwrak> kristianpaul: military death rays ?
2011-10-03 07:49 <rejon> cool, we are still on the front page of register: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/28/milkymist/
2011-10-03 10:12 <kyak> could someone explain me the following C construct: "register int c = cnt, sum;"? Especially the "sum" part..
2011-10-03 10:14 <larsc> ist the same as register int c = cnt; register int sum;
2011-10-03 10:17 <kyak> ah, good
2011-10-03 10:17 <kyak> larsc: what would happen if sum is not initialized?
2011-10-03 10:17 <kyak> it is not even defined, in fact...
2011-10-03 10:17 <kyak> oh
2011-10-03 10:18 <kyak> it is defined
2011-10-03 10:19 <larsc> hm?
2011-10-03 10:19 <kyak> larsc: never mind :) Thank you!
2011-10-03 10:19 <larsc> ok :)
2011-10-03 13:49 <tuxbrain_HxxHhzo> Hey hardware gurus :)
2011-10-03 13:49 <tuxbrain> need assesment for a cam,
2011-10-03 13:50 <wpwrak> what kind of cam ? still image, video, surveillance, girl's bathroom, ... ?
2011-10-03 13:51 <tuxbrain> wich model can fit the following needs, 320x180 res, able to use with an atmel chip (Uart, SPI) about one pic each 3 seconds or so
2011-10-03 13:52 <wpwrak> pheew. no clue ;-)
2011-10-03 13:52 <wpwrak> let's see if digi-key have something ...
2011-10-03 13:57 <wpwrak> nope. they just have standard camera modules. typically VGA or better. and not SPI but a parallel bus.
2011-10-03 13:58 <steve|m> tuxbrain: there are some snap-on cameras for older phone models that use i2c and are quite populat for microcontroller use
2011-10-03 13:58 <steve|m> a good candidate is the Siemes S55 camera module
2011-10-03 13:58 <steve|m> *Siemens
2011-10-03 13:59 <steve|m> "Siemens IQP-500"
2011-10-03 14:00 <tuxbrain> steve|m: where I can found it?
2011-10-03 14:01 <steve|m> ebay germany has many of them new, but also ebay US:
2011-10-03 14:01 <steve|m> http://www.ebay.com/itm/300368600952
2011-10-03 14:05 <tuxbrain> steve|m: any data sheet or example of usage of this cam, it looks prety good :)
2011-10-03 14:08 <steve|m> tuxbrain: http://www.mikrocontroller.net/topic/16874 (german unfortunately, but see the attachments, there's a python script etc.)
2011-10-03 14:08 <steve|m> it uses serial communication actually, not i2c
2011-10-03 14:11 <steve|m> IQP-530 works as well
2011-10-03 14:44 <kristianpaul> wpwrak: i was looking for something less agressive
2011-10-03 14:45 <tuxbrain> mmm I also need the UART of the micro for Zigbee comm, so an I2c solution should be better than serial
2011-10-03 14:46 <wpwrak> kristianpaul: heh ;-) what i meant to say is that your question is a bit unclear. e.g., were you asking what services are physically possible ? or what already exists in these bands ? etc.
2011-10-03 14:49 <kristianpaul> yes i know is unclear .. and yes i afaik dont have all the infomration you ask me
2011-10-03 14:53 <wpwrak> kristianpaul: so what is the context ? do you have a TV tuner and are wondering what you cuold do with it ?
2011-10-03 15:59 <wpwrak> wolfspraul: btw, when will xiangfu be back ? next week ?

2011-10-03 17:31 <kristianpaul> wpwrak: nope
2011-10-03 17:32 <kristianpaul> wpwrak: check it your self better http://www.mintic.gov.co/index.php/mn-news/413-20112609espectro
2011-10-03 17:33 <kristianpaul> about tv tunner, i already know what to do with it :)
2011-10-03 18:17 <wpwrak> aha ! you want to have a justification for requesting a bit of the spectrum. sort of kristianpaul's vanity frequency ;-)
2011-10-03 18:18 <kristianpaul> :p
2011-10-03 18:18 <kristianpaul> not for my but may be for local floss comunity use
2011-10-03 18:29 <wpwrak> hmm. maybe ask in your local radio amateur community if they have any ideas.
2011-10-03 18:31 <kristianpaul> haha
2011-10-03 18:31 <kristianpaul> thre is no such us thing here afaik :(
2011-10-03 18:33 <kristianpaul> well, still some people alive in the capital of other two provinces
2011-10-03 18:36 <wpwrak> maybe there are more then :)
2011-10-03 18:39 <wpwrak> maybe you also have some people who interconnect over larger distances with WLAN 
2011-10-03 18:43 <wpwrak> something like this: http://www.buenosaireslibre.org/
2011-10-03 18:59 <kristianpaul> Yes, there this groups, well i already passed the link i gave you to then yday :)

2011-10-03 21:20 <wpwrak> wolfspraul: that would explain why there's little else but spidering there
2011-10-03 22:55 <sujan> hello guys, I used nanonotes for my research study and i just tweeted about it. i'll really appreciate your feedback, suggestions. if you are interested: http://alturl.com/66c84
