<Oksana> BD?
<DocScrutinizer05> Block Diagram
<wpwrak> DocScrutinizer05: do we have a final decision on BMX055 vs. BNO055 yet ? so far, i've seen only "this looks nice" and "there's also this".
<DocScrutinizer05> ~#neo900 bd is Block Diagram, see http://neo900.org/stuff/block-diagrams/neo900/neo900.html
<infobot> ...but #neo900 bd is already something else...
<DocScrutinizer05> ~bd
<infobot> extra, extra, read all about it, bd is http://neo900.org/stuff/block-diagrams/neo900/neo900.html the very fine and detailled Block Diagram, or http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1445200#post1445200
<Oksana> Ok, so what about BMX055 vs BNO055?
<DocScrutinizer05> BMX055 is the "stupid" version of BNO055
<DocScrutinizer05> BNO has an embedded MC
<DocScrutinizer05> otherwise all the same sensores
<wpwrak> yes, but do we have a decision yet ? :)
<DocScrutinizer05> and Nikolaus likes the BNO more, since he already knows that critter. Used in Pyra ;-)
<DocScrutinizer05> Yes, we have a decission
<DocScrutinizer05> the winner is: BNO055
<wpwrak> kewl, thanks ! adding ...
<DocScrutinizer05> (unless somebody finds some massive flaw in BNO)
<DocScrutinizer05> until somebody does, I assume the BNO does all the nice stuff BMX does, plus some more
<wpwrak> (and killing that small army of single-function sensors)
<DocScrutinizer05> yes, which is *great*
<DocScrutinizer05> and cheaper too
<DocScrutinizer05> and sensors are even better
<wpwrak> well, one box less. not *that* many, given that BMC180 already was 6-axis
<DocScrutinizer05> umm, maybe that's correct, yes
<Oksana> Well, I'm just confused that "clever" BNO does not detect free-fall, tab, double-tap (BMX does). That's all.
<Oksana> tap*, not tab

<wpwrak> hmm, mouser will get the bno055 one week ago. seems that the time travellers have been at it again :)
<Oksana> And since BNO and BMX are too different (size, number of pins), there isn't going to be an option to choose one of the two, right?
<DocScrutinizer05> Oksana: yes, that's indeed true
Oksana has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<DocScrutinizer05> 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> when she joins again, somebody please tell her to read chanlog

<svetlana> I did just tell.
<DocScrutinizer05> :-)
Oksana has joined #neo900
* 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
<DocScrutinizer05> o/
<DocScrutinizer05> parcel is on its way
<DocScrutinizer05> according to tracking even
<DocScrutinizer05> should arrive tomorrow
<DocScrutinizer05> well, later(CET)
<DocScrutinizer05> n8
<Oksana> Good night
* DocScrutinizer05 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"
<DocScrutinizer05> ooh, but ding has. Yep
<DocScrutinizer05> ~dict 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
<DocScrutinizer05> n8 (again)
<Oksana> Good night :-)
<svetlana> nn
* DocScrutinizer05 feels muscle ache like recidivism of flu
<svetlana> (He is sleeping with that box of matches!)
<wpwrak> 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.
<Oksana> Or does he sleep on it?
<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

<wpwrak> 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> sidenote: http://privatepaste.com/7841032023
* 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
