[10:16] <fsphil> might be easiest to ask the developers what the error means
[10:20] <m1x10> Hi fsphil
[10:20] <fsphil> morning :)
[10:20] <m1x10> still fighting :)
[10:20] <fsphil> you'll get there
[10:20] <m1x10> If i use the original bootloader (.hex) it gets uploaded fine.
[10:21] <m1x10> if i compile the source with winavr c compiler
[10:21] <fsphil> wouldn't be the first time I've banged my head against a wall, only to find a single but seriously obscure command fixes it instantly (windows server 2003 ntp sync .. evil evil)
[10:21] <m1x10> the new .hex is 1kb larger and fails to upload
[10:21] <fsphil> hmm
[10:21] <m1x10> I believe the compiler does something odd
[10:22] <m1x10> gcc 4.3.3
[10:22] <fsphil> the compiler will have a huge amount of options, levels of optimisation, that sort of thing - you'd need to find out what options they used to build the one that works
[10:23] <fsphil> although all that should be in the makefile
[10:23] <m1x10> I know the options. I have the makefile !
[10:24] <m1x10> I only wonder with what compiler were the sources built
[10:24] <m1x10> gcc 3.x.x or gcc 4.x.x
[10:24] <fsphil> yea, that can make a difference sometimes
[10:25] SpeedEvil (1000@tor/regular/SpeedEvil) left irc: Ping timeout: 250 seconds
[10:25] <m1x10> the original hex could be compiled with gcc3
[10:25] <m1x10> while im compiling it with gcc4
[10:25] <fsphil> the version I did was with gcc 4.5.1
[10:25] <m1x10> you took the sanguino sources and compiled them with gcc4.5.1?
[10:25] <fsphil> still, it should still flash even if the compile was different
[10:27] <fsphil> the problem might be avrdude
[10:29] <m1x10> any other way to upload?
[10:30] <m1x10> someone at sparkfun told me a similar issue where avrdude failed while avrstudio did it
[10:30] <m1x10> i have avrstudio
[10:30] <fsphil> try putting an :i after the hex file, or example: -U flash:w:rom.hex:i
[10:30] <fsphil> or=for
[10:31] <m1x10> but i dont know how to use it
[10:31] <m1x10> ok, wait
[10:32] <m1x10> I just do -U flash:w:file
[10:32] <m1x10> is that wrong?
[10:32] <fsphil> I'm not sure, I see the :i in a few places
[10:32] <fsphil> I think it tells avrdude what format the hex file is
[10:32] <fsphil> intel format I think
[10:32] <m1x10> avrdude recognises it as intel
[10:32] <m1x10> automatically
[10:33] <fsphil> ah, then that won't help
[10:35] <m1x10> can u compile for me the source ?
[10:35] <m1x10> using the new crystal freq
[10:35] <m1x10> ?

[18:22] <Laurenceb> checkbox isnt selected by default
[18:30] <Laurenceb> hmm looks like the lna starts oscillating as soon as i connect the bench supply
[18:30] <Laurenceb> unless i have it at the other end of the desk
[18:30] <Laurenceb> theres a choke in the way but it does have some parasitic capacitance
[18:33] <m1x10> are there any big changes in the predictor project?
[18:42] <Burninate> I've been looking into the solar glider, and it would appear that one of the comments I saw on here is incorrect. The super/hyper AVA Pro-E appears to be able to sustain level flight at 5-6w/lb. Now I just need to source *lightweight* 15%+ efficient thinfilm panels, design a camera fuselage, and clear some funding
[18:45] <SpeedEvil> It depends on sink rate, and your prop.
[18:45] <SpeedEvil> Get those right, ...
[18:47] <Laurenceb> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjHUDYiQINQ
[18:47] <Laurenceb> interesting thing
[18:47] <Burninate> the remark was that 10w/lb was an absolute hard minimum - yay for progress
[18:47] <SpeedEvil> I note for example that conventional Si cells are about 200w/Kg
[18:47] <SpeedEvil> If you consider only the bare Si cell.
[18:47] <Laurenceb> theres powerfilm panels
[18:48] <SpeedEvil> I was considering something like an inflated PET tube, with cells in, on a simple 1D gimbal.
[18:48] <Laurenceb> heh
[18:48] <Laurenceb> if you just want daytime it looks easy to me
[18:48] <SpeedEvil> 50W/Kg isn't that hard. But crashes will make you a sad panda.
[18:48] <Laurenceb> wel "possible"
[18:51] <Laurenceb> but yeah look at powerfilm
[18:51] <SpeedEvil> And yes.
[18:52] <Burninate> odd. I looked at it before and could only find heavy stuff. I look at it today and there's a 28w battery charger that weighs 800g
[18:52] <SpeedEvil> Powerfilm or similar is probably more sane
[18:52] <Laurenceb> iirc powerfilm and some of the prop motor combos off hobby king would work
[18:52] <Laurenceb> for a dumb direct sunlight plane
[18:52] <SpeedEvil> Also - make sure that the weight is real
[18:53] <Laurenceb> but iirc its already been done on rc-groups
[18:53] <SpeedEvil> A lot of venfors don't really care about the accuracy of the weight spec
[18:53] <SpeedEvil> so don't really check it.
[18:53] <Burninate> this one makes more sense: http://www.buyenergyefficient.org/powerfilmfoldable30wattsolarchargerf15-1800.aspx
[18:53] <Burninate> chop it up and rewire on the wing for flexibility
[18:54] <Laurenceb> or just buy bare cells
[18:57] <Laurenceb> but this has been done on rc-groups
[18:57] <Laurenceb> last time i checked no-one had managed to get rc gear on as well
[18:57] <Burninate> lol http://www.oksolar.com/pv/cells_flex1.htm
[18:57] <Laurenceb> thats what you want
[18:58] <Burninate> "These modules do not have UV-stabilized surface." means they'll last how long?
[18:58] <Laurenceb> weeks maybe

[19:02] <SpeedEvil> I wonder what happens if you replace the obvious oodleohorsepower engine and prop, with a tail.
[19:02] <SpeedEvil> It should get really quite good mileage.
[19:02] <SpeedEvil> of the shark
[19:02] <m1x10> mhhh
[19:02] <m1x10> I got a question
[19:03] <m1x10> If I run the mcu at 3v3 it will run at 10mhz
[19:03] <m1x10> that means I need a 10mhz oscillator?
[19:04] <SpeedEvil> Or lower, if that's the maximum speed
[19:04] <SpeedEvil> you may be able to use a RC or other internal oscillator too
[19:05] <m1x10> atmega644p datasheet says if i power it with 3v3 it will operate at 10mhz
[19:05] <m1x10> at 5v it can operate at 16mhz
[19:05] <Laurenceb> lol the tv
[19:05] <Burninate> SpeedEvil: just $100k? It's going to be a white Christmas in Miami
[19:05] <m1x10> but 10mhz frequency makes the baudrates of the usart to have big error %
[19:06] <SpeedEvil> Burninate: yes - that was also my thought
[19:06] <m1x10> the next lower with 0.0% error is a osc with freq = 7.3728
[19:06] <m1x10> ping fsphil
[19:07] <Burninate> Man
[19:08] <Burninate> it's been what, 5 years since that South Park episode came out?

[19:55] <stilldavid> got a spare $300?
[19:55] <stilldavid> actually, looking at this thing I think I could make my own
[19:56] <stilldavid> if this has any sort of success I think I'll try
[19:56] <SpeedEvil> I spent much of today trying to get through to my bank, trying to convince them not to charge me an unauthorised overdraft fee for $3.
[19:56] <SpeedEvil> so, no.

[20:01] <stilldavid> hm. so it's worth paying someone to do it?
[20:01] <eroomde> it's astonishing how much harder they are to hand make than they look
[20:01] <SpeedEvil> Or a really clever machine
[20:01] <stilldavid> I'm having a hard time finding a mylar supplier online, too..
[20:01] <eroomde> speaking from experience
[20:01] <SpeedEvil> A 100m*2 table helps too
[20:02] <stilldavid> oh? how about a huge unused shipping floor?
[20:02] <SpeedEvil> If it's really clean.
[20:02] <eroomde> stilldavid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK80MXHQ5hA
[20:03] <eroomde> we have since made a robotic continuous seam welding machine to speed this up
[20:03] <eroomde> but had to mothball it due to loosing lab space
[20:03] <russss> pretty
[20:03] <eroomde> we have 3 ZPs in the lab that'll take about 100kg to 25km though
[20:04] <stilldavid> with many tanks of helium, no doubt
[20:04] <russss> incidentally, how did you design the cutting patterns to build that balloon?

[20:05] <eroomde> but... lost in the sands of hard-drive time
[20:05] <russss> I was doing a similar thing for our blimp and I was surprised there seemed to be no "standard" way of slicing up a 3D model into patterns
[20:06] <eroomde> our script was a diy job
[20:06] <russss> that's basically what I did, except my python outputs DXF

[20:20] <m1x10> http://code.google.com/p/littleblackbox/
[20:22] <m1x10> fsphil: I think I got a problem. Running mcu at 3v3 it needs a crystal upto 10mhz. At 10mhz the 115200 baudrate got much error %. The next lower freq is 7.3728 !! :(
[20:23] <fsphil> aye, that's the frequency I'm using
[20:23] <m1x10> !!
[20:23] <fsphil> the 14.x might work, but you'd be over-clocking it :)
[20:23] <m1x10> yeah
[20:23] <m1x10> so u got crystals at 7.3mhz
[20:23] <SpeedEvil> what is the error %?
[20:23] <SpeedEvil> You can have up to ~3% without issue
[20:28] <fsphil> the uart cameras seem to be a lot fussier
[20:28] <m1x10> yeah
[20:32] <m1x10> fsphil where did u find those 7mhz crystals?

[20:35] <m1x10> ok

[22:45] <laurence_> hi
[22:45] Nick change: laurence_ -> Laurenceb_
[22:45] <SpeedEvil> ih
[22:46] <Laurenceb_> think i worked out the oscillation issue
[22:46] <SpeedEvil> Congrats!
[22:46] <Laurenceb_> if its oscillating at a few Ghz then the rf just leaks through the filtering
[22:46] <SpeedEvil> hmm
[22:46] <Laurenceb_> and into the bench power supply
[22:47] <SpeedEvil> and then gets rectified?
[22:47] <Laurenceb_> no, then just radiated
[22:47] <SpeedEvil> umm
[22:47] <SpeedEvil> why doesn't it radiate form the psu leads?
[22:47] <Laurenceb_> they are sheilded
[22:47] <SpeedEvil> ah
[22:48] <Laurenceb_> hopefully this shouldnt be an issue with the usb
[22:48] <Laurenceb_> as theres alu case, and ferrite on the usb cable
[22:49] <SpeedEvil> So you mean you're getting oscillation from the radiated emissions from the PSU getting picked up by the antenna?
[22:51] <Laurenceb_> yes
[22:51] <Laurenceb_> presumably at a few ghz - i cant pick it up
[22:51] <SpeedEvil> Add a 1R in each lead inside the case, and add assorted caps behind it?
[22:51] <Laurenceb_> there excess current and signs of loads of rfi
[22:52] <Laurenceb_> the display on the bench supply goes mad
[22:52] <Laurenceb_> i can make it work by moving the ant a few m down the desk
[22:53] <Laurenceb_> the lna has high gain to 6GHz so it could be really high
[22:55] <SpeedEvil> No 6GHz scope? :)
