09:23 <whitequark> apparently the guys from the remailer consider the cnc machine "not for personal use"

09:32 <larsc> you are only allowed to do altruistic work with it ;)

09:33 <whitequark> i'm just going to check who is more stubborn

09:35 <whitequark> last time i had such a dispute (the isp guys told me they will fix the line in about a week), it took about five minutes of calm and quiet discussion. the service man arrived in less than an hour.

09:40 <wpwrak_> what's the implication of 'not for personal use" in the case of the remailer ?

09:41 <whitequark> some customs bullshit

09:42 <whitequark> actually they didn't even tell me which item was infringing, much less the reason they think it is

09:42 <whitequark> way to make an effort

09:42 <wpwrak_> oh joy ...

17:43 <larsc> with vodka?

17:58 <wpwrak_> hmm, that sounds like a nice idea :) but maybe after i'm done with today's shopping ...

18:46 <DocScrutinizer05> hah

21:36 <nicksydney> what's up people !

21:37 <nicksydney> wpwrak_: you got your christmas gift :)

21:40 <wpwrak_> yeah, a nice little parcel from santa-digi-claus :)

21:43 <nicksydney> nice......share some pics :)

21:43 <nicksydney> made USB board myself last night

21:44 <nicksydney> didn't mirror the design so made a mistake of GND and VBUS :) but all good after switching the LED position :)

21:44 <nicksydney> simple USB and LED :)

22:00 <wpwrak_> avoiding all the messy protocol stack ;)

22:00 <nicksydney> nah...i'm obsessed with USB as power source :)

22:01 <nicksydney> i was think "why do we need brick power" when you have USB :)

22:01 <nicksydney> i proclaim from now on all my project will use USB as power jack

22:01 <nicksydney> anelok is using USB which i like :)

22:02 <wpwrak_> yeah, usb power is good

22:05 <nicksydney> just a tip to share if you have this kind of USB https://dlnmh9ip6v2uc.cloudfront.net//images/products/5/8/7/miniUSB-1.jpg and don't like drill hole for that 2 protuding black holder at the back you can clip it off using nail cutter and file it just a bit ..and you good to go :)

22:09 <wpwrak_> my cnc [1] mill isn't afraid of making a few more holes :) [1] http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/tmp/vialtray-mill.jpg

22:09 <wpwrak_> not doing a PCB there but this: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/tmp/vialtray.jpg

22:15 <nicksydney> http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/tmp/vialtray.jpg --> this is cool...are those components inside those vial ?

22:15 <nicksydney> yes it is..i can see ohm and uF :)

22:16 <nicksydney> http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/tmp/vialtray-mill.jpg --> look like a cheese cake from far (if you remove the CNC machine) : )

22:28 <wpwrak_> yup. 0402 and 0603 components. the perfect place for putting them :)

22:29 <wpwrak_> and yes, the production of sawdust is rather impressive :)

22:31 <DocScrutinizer05> get a vacuum to clean it right away during CNC producing it

22:32 <wpwrak_> naw, this i like my mill to run very silently. like 3 am silent :)

22:33 <wpwrak_> it resides is a double-walled box with foam between the walls. so you can hardly hear the screaming and screeching that goes on inside.

22:39 <apelete> larsc: acquiriing dma channel seems to work well: line 110 -> http://paste.debian.net/76056/

22:39 <apelete> larsc: did it by calling dma_request_channel(mask, NULL, host);

22:39 <apelete> so I didn't write a filter function yet

22:41 <apelete> larsc: as you can see I haven't done much, should have tested and reported it yersterday but I was too busy slacking off :)

22:48 <apelete> larsc: is it normal that dmaengine is printing "dma0chan0 busy", "dma0chan1 busy" and then goes on to requesting dma0chan2 just after dma0chan1 and dma0chan0 have been successfully requested there ?

22:50 <apelete> (intentionally built the kernel with dmaengine debugging enabled, I'm just asking how to read/understand those debug prints)

23:24 <wpwrak_> are you sure that's what's happening there ? i haven't looked at the code in question but the messages look more like saying "tried to get 0/0 but found it occupied, then tried to get 0/1 which was also occupied, but then i finally had better look with 0/2"

23:24 <wpwrak_> bah, s/look/luck/

23:45 <apelete> wpwrak_: I think you're right, that would make more sense

23:47 <apelete> wpwrak_ larsc: which means I probably should write a filter function to filter out the busy channels instead of letting the dmaengine driver go through each one by itself

23:48 <apelete> anyway, will look at it tomorrow, time to go to bed

23:48 <apelete> thanks for the insight wpwrak_
