[10:28] You know, the pink might actually be a good idea. It would help you find it in a field. [10:28] do a night launch with a big flashing LED [10:28] well, multiple flashing LEDs [10:28] the only thing I could think of better would be phosphorus glow in the dark payload [10:29] or flashy LEDs :D [10:29] yeah a strong led inside the balloon ! [10:29] oh that would be cool [10:29] will make it very sinny [10:29] shiny* [10:29] but when it comes down to ground the balloon will already have popped [10:29] so it wont help that much [10:30] hehe [10:30] juxta: what would be the best way to set up a HF antenna for a launch? have it trail down, or run it up along the string to the balloon [10:31] im still tossing up whether to use 80m or 40m for the payloa [10:31] alternatively you could do 40m with both cable going up and down the string - make a dipole! [10:32] i mean, cable going up the string and cable trailing down from the payload [10:33] hang it down from the payload seems most sensible [10:33] yeah, could do a monopole like that [10:33] wouldn't have a ground plane though [10:33] I like the idea of both, and make the dipole [10:34] that'd be cool [10:34] yeah, a dipole would be good [10:34] means 40m would be best [10:34] you'd want 40m of cord between the payload and chute though [10:34] wh? [10:34] eh? [10:34] a 40m dipole would be 20m long [10:34] oh i see what you mean [10:34] yes that'd be neat :) [10:34] 10m above and below the payload box [10:35] and the half of the dipole btween the payload and the chute would be 10m [10:35] yeah [10:35] the radiation pattern is a bit worrying, but it could still work [10:35] since juxta has been using a vertical antenna for UHF and thats been working fine [10:35] and thats on even less power, with more path loss than what i'm going to be doing [10:42] Nick change: smeaway -> smealum [10:45] Jasperw (~jasperw@93.89.81.29) joined #highaltitude.

[10:53] seems to be that way [10:53] do you have - (I guess you're at work so no rush now?) - debug output? [10:53] lemme test again [10:54] it should say that "setup began", and that's the function that sends the signal [10:56] dl_fldigi: dl_fldigi_gps setup begin [10:57] what, and then nothing else happens?

[11:35] perfect! [11:35] :) [11:36] now, to make it work on win32 [11:36] fldigi already what looks like some x-platform serial routines [11:36] forex whenever it starts you see that testCommPorts list; have been looking at that [11:37] only downside is that if you plug something in after it has initialised the list won't be updated. Maybe I could change that, I don't know if I should copy the testCommPorts function or edit it and risk all kind of hell [11:37] will have to double check exactly what it affects. It might be possible to simply call testCommPorts again and get the list updated. [11:37] if so that would make the UI a lot frendlier [11:45] looks like running it again is harmless [11:45] my thoughts exactly [11:45] I wonder why they haven't done that already [11:45] would be a neat feature [13:00] fsphil: I've upggraded the configure-dialog page for the gps thread ;) Next job is to get it to work on windoze (and perhaps mac? don't know if it will work out of the box) [13:00] but first, sandvich.

Still need to sort out this signals mess [17:41] fantastic [17:41] - I can't interrupt it while it's processing gps data [17:41] but it seems to grab NMEA strings fine [17:42] oh and my idea bout the SHARED thing didn't work :D [17:44] alikins_ (~adrian@nat/redhat/x-pvpvyzfotnrjctbz) joined #highaltitude. [17:45] I think I can resolve the signals issues in wine [17:45] wine's serial port stuff is broken as far as I can tell [17:45] it's quite hard to get stderr output on winxp [17:46] very [17:46] but yeah, I found quite a nice solution in the end [17:46] how broken? I got some basic serial stuff working in wine once [17:46] it turns out that file descriptors are not enshrined in the kernel like they are on *nixes [17:46] and as far as I can tell they're entirely a user mode thing [17:47] so the windows syscalls that set baudrate etc work on a HANDLE [17:47] but you can _open_osfhandle to "turn" that HANDLE into a file descriptor [17:47] which you can then fdopen [17:47] and finally fscanf ;P [17:47] so, all in all, could have been much worse [17:47] still, I could do with sigaction() [17:48] be back later [17:58] timbobel (~timboebl@5ED040EE.cable.ziggo.nl) left irc: [17:58] <3 compiz [18:02] yay my gps has resurrected itself [18:03] :) [18:03] what happened to it?

[18:09] DanielRichman, I've added a button to save the current gps position as the operator's home position -- think it would be useful? [18:10] interesting, sounds like it could be. Like in the current system, if they park up somewhere they could hit the button and the antenna icon moves [18:10] we plan to change that in habhub but yeah, could be useful :) [18:10] hmm perhaps a "stop thread" button would be useful [18:10] fsphil: are you using my latest master? [18:11] does the lat/lon display correctly? [18:11] pushed [18:11] yes! [18:11] awesome [18:11] I tested it a bit w. the gps that I finally got hooked up (to my windows partition) and it worked but I couldn't exactly go anywhere since it was tethered by a 5m USB cable to a large box [18:12] which in turn was tethered by an ethernet cable and a power cable :P [18:12] I'm heading out for a driving lesson in a few mins, might take a walk when I get back [18:13] OK [18:13] thank you for testing :) [18:18] natrium42 (~natrium@CPE000625d867e2-CM0014045885be.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) joined #highaltitude.

[20:02] nah, and the 817 is one of the cheapest for what it does [20:02] well mine was "cheap" and it was e300+ [20:03] so, i want a small handheld on 2m+70cm with good power [20:03] lots of wants there [20:03] yaesu and icom both make good 2m+70cm handhelds [20:03] they're not that cheap, but usually a bit cheaper than an 817 [20:03] yaesu vx-3 [20:04] and if you want it to you have to make sure it can do SSB [20:04] meh. thats why i ask advice [20:04] I've yet to find a good one that does ssb [20:10] but if you're not using it for tracking, then the little yaesu's are perfect [20:10] yeah i just want one for sending on 2m, for maybe putting a 2m receiver on pauload [20:10] and having multiple radio's could be a plus. [20:11] so its kinda gay having the same thing twice [20:11] yea, having two 817's is silly ..... :) [20:12] so any idea's [20:12] my gps has died again [20:13] there really isn't, not for ssb. the 817 is about as small and cheap as it gets [20:13] believe me, I've looked [20:14] if you want cheaper, you might be able to get one of the old yaesu's that only did one band but all modes. they're just as big as the 817 though [20:14] --> http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/750 [20:14] for 2 meters [20:14] it's gigantic [20:14] it's only slightly thicker than the 817 [20:15] alikins_ (~adrian@nat/redhat/x-pvpvyzfotnrjctbz) left irc: Quit: alikins_ [20:15] not portable [20:15] i want something small [20:15] i dont have a handheld [20:17] yaesu vx6's got 5w output?

[20:47] also AIUI the oxidiser tank is too long on the one they are flying - they planned to use boil off the pressurize but switched to helium in high pressure CF tanks [20:48] and AIUI paraffin wax is a pain to make work due to uncombusted droplets - probably explains the low ISP they got in tests [20:48] will be interesting to see how high it gets [20:49] smealum (~smealum@85-170-63-39.rev.numericable.fr) joined #highaltitude.

[22:28] yea [22:29] oh, right [22:29] not sure why a pdf reader would run as root though so I guess it was something deeply wrong [22:30] It doesn't [22:30] "two separate flaws which could be exploited in tandem by malware written into PDF content" [22:31] root access was gained via an exploit in the IOSurface framework [22:33] back in the days of iPhone OS 2.x safari used to run as root iirc [22:34] no i remember the original safari exploit was 1.x [22:34] was a vulnerability in the tiff library i think [22:35] Yeah [22:35] Running safari as root is kind of asking for it [22:35] especially considering browsers are notorious for being secure [22:36] i'm pretty sure everything ran as root [22:36] i can remember updating my ipod and seeing the new 'mobile' user alongside root [22:42] in theory, you could get fldigi running on a jailbroken iphone and use the built in serial port [22:44] dev license only costs $99 [22:45] Wouldn't really do you much good to be honest, apple wont let you at the serial port "officially" without a special hardware certificate. [22:46] guess so :S [22:46] could use a wifi-to-serial bridge though [22:47] yeah that wouldn't be a bad idea at all, could appstore it aswell then [22:47] or use a real phone, like an android [22:47] eww [22:47] could write native C, access the serial port, access anything else without any restriction, and then app store it, all without paying anything [22:47] you don't need to use the serial port do you? [22:48] rig control isn't essential [22:48] i have no idea, i just heard serial ports earlier! :D [22:48] just have the iphone app accept audio from the mic (?) [22:48] I wish that wifi was easy. [22:48] then you could make an interface by hacking a plug-in mic [22:48] if they exist? [22:48] Well - easy and cheap [22:49] DanielRichman, yeah that would work [22:49] In that there were $15 modules that you diddn't have to do WPA/... in software [22:49] i made a prototype for wifi-to-IR bridge for iphone [22:49] then appstore an "app that decodes rtty using the mic" [22:49] wanted to make an universal remote [22:49] haha, thats not a bad idea actually [22:49] but never went further than prototype stage [22:50] natrium42: how? [22:50] natrium42: I mean - using what wifi board. [22:50] I may have to steal that idea, I hate having tons of remotes [22:50] SpeedEvil, gumstix [22:50] Oh. [22:50] Not exactly cheap then. :) [22:51] it's ok for prototyping [22:51] it would be a dedicated solution in an end product [22:51] Go for it, I imagine alot of people would be interested in something like that [22:51] it's good to show something to investors :) [22:51] JackNorris, well, there's something out now [22:52] but it just plugs into the phone, so you need line of sight [22:52] ah [22:52] but i think logitech is releasing a proper solution soon [22:53] BT-IR is probably cheaper [22:53] Yeah... another one on Steve Jobs amazing ideas... Lets lockdown bluetooth! [22:54] err of* [22:58] DrLuke (~luke@pD9E3A67B.dip.t-dialin.net) joined #highaltitude.

[23:15] yeah - i was thinking if they stick one or two more stages on top [23:15] http://lh6.ggpht.com/_LwqZDVJfmSk/TH7Y06F8S8I/AAAAAAAAHF0/u6bqcxptqfU/s720/HEAT_Nexoe-16.jpg [23:16] comms? [23:16] dunno - apparently thats just tracking [23:17] Or is that an optical emitter [23:17] a radar locator thing [23:17] I was wondering about that [23:17] someone donated it to them [23:17] you can see the other end in the window of the rocket thing [23:17] sun + nice bright laser emitter on ground as absolute ref [23:17] http://lh6.ggpht.com/_LwqZDVJfmSk/TGG3xJKQ9hI/AAAAAAAAG2w/2sEs1RXo_xY/s512/Stacking-59.jpg [23:17] looks like the fuel section bolts on [23:18] they say 4000 euros for the fuel + lox per launch [23:18] Sounds plausible [23:18] don't they need another nozzle? [23:18] aha - revious photos you can see where the lox nozzle goes in [23:18] graphite should last a few firings [23:19] gtg, cya [23:19] Laurenceb (~laurence@host86-137-224-95.range86-137.btcentralplus.com) left irc: Remote host closed the connection [23:19] wave [23:39] alikins_ (~adrian@cpe-066-057-101-225.nc.res.rr.com) joined #highaltitude.
