01:07 <azonenberg> Starting work on the final iteration of MEAD

01:07 <azonenberg> added power connections for the LCD backlight, now i just have to move the SFF connector (which will be a royal pain, lol)

01:56 <azonenberg> aaand done, just need to do design review

01:56 <azonenberg> Then I can get the final design off to multech for a quote and start figuring out enclosures

05:05 <_whitenotifier-b> [starshipraider] azonenberg pushed 1 commit to master [+4/-0/±10] https://git.io/JJwoG

05:05 <_whitenotifier-b> [starshipraider] azonenberg 905c367 - Final MEAD design package for initial production run

06:46 <noopwafel> that is a wonderful bug reply :)

06:47 <azonenberg> noopwafel: in case you're wondering why my long term plan to the test equipment world is "burn it all down and start fresh"

06:47 <azonenberg> lol

06:51 <azonenberg> At least if my products have firmware bugs, people will be able to patch them

06:51 <noopwafel> well, it could be worse then firmware bugs

06:52 <noopwafel> I saw this "ADS1013D" touchscreen scope claiming 100mhz/1gsps on aliexpress, and went looking for internet commentary

06:52 <azonenberg> well i mean hardware bugs are a thing too, but hopefully we'll iron those out before we ship stuff to customers

06:52 <azonenberg> and lol

06:52 <azonenberg> outright fake specs will not be a thing :p

06:54 <noopwafel> well, apparently it *does* do 1gsps, and has a battery and touchscreen for ~$100 or something ridiculous

06:54 <noopwafel> but you can imagine the high-quality frontend etc

06:55 <azonenberg> frontend?

06:55 <azonenberg> you mean it isnt just a badly soldered wire right into the adc?

06:55 <noopwafel> *grin*

08:13 <_whitenotifier-b> [scopehal] noopwafel commented on issue #214: USBTMC read loop doesn't work when reading entire buffer at once - https://git.io/JJw1R

14:55 <noopwafel> tried using scopehal with a rigol for a real thing, but this is not usable I guess :/

15:47 <noopwafel> and then I tried sigrok which fails even more dramatically :\

16:19 <NeroTHz> fkin headhunters

16:19 <NeroTHz> oops wrong channel

21:34 <azonenberg> noopwafel: oh?

21:34 <miek> while looking for that PDF on making nice DIY SMA cables, i found the main site for that course/lab and it's got a whole bunch of other useful materials: http://rfic.eecs.berkeley.edu/142/labs.html

21:35 <miek> the videos with Joel Dunsmore are really interesting so far (i'm still watching)

23:19 <azonenberg> https://www.antikernel.net/temp/xfi.yml

23:19 <azonenberg> how does this look as the file format for defining eye patern masks?

23:24 <miek> i don't love the bare ':' thing going on (is that even valid?)

23:26 <miek> how about this? https://pastebin.com/raw/ZiuPeQ5r

23:26 <azonenberg> miek: that is valid yaml and is AFAIK the correct way to create an array

23:26 <azonenberg> i use it in e.g. the list of filters in a .scopesession

23:28 <miek> i pasted it into a few online yaml validators and they all error out on it

23:29 <azonenberg> hmmm

23:29 <azonenberg> https://www.antikernel.net/temp/foobar.scopesession

23:29 <azonenberg> do they not like this then?

23:30 <miek> they do not like that :p

23:30 <azonenberg> File a ticket then, i may have to change the file format? yaml-cpp likes these just fine

23:30 <azonenberg> but i'd like it to be standard yaml

23:36 <azonenberg> hmmm

23:36 <azonenberg> so "opening" and "limits" i don't like

23:36 <azonenberg> Because they assume things like the waveform being NRZ

23:36 <azonenberg> i think it's better to just have a list of freeform polygons

23:38 <azonenberg> miek: https://www.antikernel.net/temp/xfi.yml how's this?

23:42 <miek> that sounds good to me

23:45 <_whitenotifier-b> [scopehal-apps] miek opened issue #156: scopesession files contain invalid yaml - https://git.io/JJoJ6

23:45 <azonenberg> The "displaylimits" are because the +/- 500 mV limits in the mask are not actually in the spec, the intent is to be +/- 350 to infinity

23:45 <azonenberg> but my mask has to have finite bounds

23:45 <azonenberg> and i don't want to scale the UI to encompass infinite limits

23:46 <azonenberg> so i'm specifying a mask that goes outside the displayed area then stops

23:47 <_whitenotifier-b> [scopehal-apps] azonenberg labeled issue #156: scopesession files contain invalid yaml - https://git.io/JJoJ6

23:47 <_whitenotifier-b> [scopehal-apps] azonenberg assigned issue #156: scopesession files contain invalid yaml - https://git.io/JJoJ6

23:54 <miek> oh no, part 2 of the video is a 404
