2011-10-04 14:21 <kristianpaul> when i do a signed short int read from a memory maped devices, the cpu is supposed to wide/narrow the data bus to fit my requested data type right?
2011-10-04 14:28 <kristianpaul> ha, nice find indeed :)
2011-10-04 14:30 <wpwrak> yes, that's generally what happens. i.e., truncation on writes, zero-padding or sign expansion on reads (details depend on the architecture)

2011-10-04 15:51 <Ayla> what's UBB?
2011-10-04 16:02 <wpwrak> Ayla: this little guy: http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/UBB
2011-10-04 16:05 <Ayla> awesooooooome
2011-10-04 16:12 <Ayla> but why is a board necessary to get USB with the UBB?
2011-10-04 16:12 <Ayla> wouldn't bit-banging be a solution?
2011-10-04 16:16 <wpwrak> yeah, but you still need to make the physical connection somehow. the Ben doesn't have a USB A receptacle.
2011-10-04 16:17 <wpwrak> UBB has already been "mass-produced", so it's something that's readily available (for experiments. once you have the thing working, you can make a neater board)
2011-10-04 18:15 <blogic> aloha
2011-10-04 18:18 <larsc> wpwrak: blogic wants to build a 802.15.4. maybe you could give him some hints.
2011-10-04 18:20 <wpwrak> ah. welcome to the joyful world of RF ! ;-)
2011-10-04 19:45 <blogic> wpwrak: i am off to bed, i'll ping you tomorrow if you dont mind
2011-10-04 20:15 <wpwrak> blogic: okay. sweet dreams ! :)
