[12:31] <Darkside> cripe thats dense
[12:33] <Laurenceb> need to get my reflow oven built
[12:33] <Laurenceb> too busy with work :(
[12:33] Action: Laurenceb is unsure if anyone has actually got a fsa03 to work
[12:33] <Laurenceb> also dual antenni with ufl connectors - taoglas thin film antenna ftw
[12:33] <Laurenceb> sma connectors a big and heavy anyway
[12:33] <Darkside> what do yo umean got a FSA03 to work?
[12:41] <fsphil> I used an fsa03 on my last flight -- and apart from getting lost it worked well ;-)
[12:41] <Laurenceb> ok
[12:42] <fsphil> the gps worked fine
[12:42] <Laurenceb> yeah it looks good spec wise but som many people have had issues
[12:42] <fsphil> I think you just have to be careful when handling them
[12:42] <Laurenceb> i suspect its power supply issues
[12:42] <Laurenceb> my previous ublox5 receivers have been very sensitive to power supply
[12:42] <fsphil> most issues I've heard of are because of the fragile antenna
[12:43] <Darkside> oh yes
[12:43] <Darkside> shenki broke one
[12:44] <Darkside> then again it was dropped onto concrete from about a metre
[12:44] <Laurenceb> lmao
[12:44] <Laurenceb> yeah not the most suitable for uav
[12:45] <Laurenceb> also it means theres only one way to mount the board
[12:45] <Laurenceb> on v2 ill leave the cutout and add a ufl connector with ublox6
[12:45] <fsphil> the gpsbee is a tad lighter and seems to be a bit hardier
[12:46] <Darkside> i want to try a venus chipset sometie
[12:46] <Darkside> sometime*
[12:46] <Darkside> apparently they are very good
[12:46] <Laurenceb> i think its possible to do a set of pads that can be used for ufl and a sarantel ant
[12:46] <Laurenceb> Darkside: not for dynamic performance
[12:47] <Darkside> hrm
[12:47] <Darkside> the people i know that use them, use them on rockets
[12:48] <Laurenceb> ublox is very good in my experience
[12:48] <Laurenceb> cusf used venus and it wasnt good
[12:48] <fsphil> the venus isn't good at altitude
[12:48] <Darkside> ah yes
[12:48] <Darkside> i think it has a 18km cap, right?
[12:48] <Laurenceb> cant remeber
[12:48] <fsphil> which is a shame as I got one originally, and have never used it
[12:48] <shenki> the ublox worked well on my rocket :)
[12:49] <Laurenceb> did it retain lock during launch?
[12:49] <Darkside> shenki flew a ublox on a rocket last week
[12:49] <Darkside> it maintained lcok
[12:49] <Darkside> lock*
[12:49] <Laurenceb> wow
[12:49] <Laurenceb> could have just been a fluke...
[12:49] <Laurenceb> did you modify any settings?
[12:50] <Darkside> nope
[12:50] <shenki> nope
[12:50] <Darkside> it was set up the same as for balloon flights
[12:50] <shenki> https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_wgYzFL0S-Rk/TUgVVX3TSZI/AAAAAAAAQDA/c1-XKN4NMFI/s800/tim-rocket-lca-flight.jpg
[12:51] <Laurenceb> interesting
[12:51] <Laurenceb> in my experience ublox5 is very good
[12:51] <Laurenceb> also lots of the uav people found the same

[17:10] <eroomde> hey, could someone mentiopn my name in about 5s?

[17:11] <eroomde> woo
[17:11] <eroomde> thanks
[17:11] <SpeedEvil> eroomde:
[17:11] <eroomde> osx terminal finally shows some activity when i get a mention
[17:12] <jonsowman> eroomde: how?
[17:12] <SpeedEvil> :)
[17:12] <eroomde> well, iterm :)
[17:13] <jonsowman> when you say activity... what does it do?
[17:13] <eroomde> changes colour
[17:14] <jonsowman> I've never managed to get iterm to do anything on mention
[17:14] <Dan-K2VOL> you guys using a commandline irc client?
[17:14] <jonsowman> Dan-K2VOL: irssi
[17:14] <eroomde> mmhmm
[17:15] <eroomde> oh Dan-K2VOL : the mass flow controller arrived today
[17:15] <Dan-K2VOL> Interesting, i'm using adium
[17:15] <eroomde> it's pretty sweet - will do a write-up
[17:15] <Dan-K2VOL> Nice ed
[17:15] <Dan-K2VOL> love to see how that works out
[17:15] <eroomde> it's not just a meter, it also controls, so you can tell it how many litres of helium to put in and then go off and do something else
[17:15] <Randomskk> :o
[17:15] <Randomskk> that's very cool
[17:16] <jonsowman> have to see this
[17:16] <Dan-K2VOL> Hell thats awesome
[17:16] <eroomde> jonsowman: on that point, we should add to the calc an output in 'litres normal'
[17:16] Action: jonsowman pokes Randomskk 
[17:16] <eroomde> in addition to free lift
[17:16] <SpeedEvil> eroomde: that is neat.
[17:16] <Randomskk> 'normal'?
[17:16] <Randomskk> it already does litres iirc
[17:16] <SpeedEvil> eroomde: probably ideally with a correction in millibars
[17:16] <eroomde> litres normal being sea level at 0 celcius
[17:16] <Randomskk> ugh
[17:16] <Randomskk> it does litres
[17:16] <Dan-K2VOL> How many £
[17:16] <Randomskk> I wonder at what condition it does them
[17:17] <eroomde> a blag
[17:17] <eroomde> sp zero
[17:17] <eroomde> but it's a permenant loan, they say
[17:17] <eroomde> i think it's about £3k to buy
[17:17] <Dan-K2VOL> yikes
[17:17] <Dan-K2VOL> you're fortunate fellows
[17:17] <eroomde> lots of calibration goes into them, and it's an amazing bit of gleaming stainless steel with rs232 ports and gas ports
[17:17] <eroomde> it weight a fair bit!
[17:20] <eroomde> http://www.flickr.com/photos/cuspaceflight/5413790536/
[17:20] <eroomde> the one on the right
[17:21] <eroomde> the bit on the left, up to the join, is the flow meter, the bit on the right is the valve
[17:22] <jonsowman> shiny
[17:22] <eroomde> and the rs232 port is for comms. There's pc spftware which has lots of bells and whistles but i think we'll integrate it into a flight case with a numberpad and 7-seg displays and a simple microcontroller
[17:22] <SpeedEvil> Indeed.
[17:23] <eroomde> it's good for up to 1500L/min, apparently
[17:23] <eroomde> i don't imagine we'll run it that high

[18:30] <Laurenceb_> hi all
[18:30] <Laurenceb_> n00b question, if i ssh into a remote machine and can see my processes running
[18:30] <Laurenceb_> say one of them is a script running in a terminal
[18:31] <Laurenceb_> is there any way to interact with it?
[18:31] <MrCraig> "ps -e" get running processes.  I've used a package called screen to start processes and then re-attach to them later to interact with them.
[18:33] <MrCraig> the way it works is, you type screen to enter a new session, start your script, I think Ctrl+A then D to detatch from that process and finally "screen -a" to reattach at a later time
[18:34] <Laurenceb_> hmm
[18:34] <Laurenceb_> so if i login now can i do that?
[18:35] <NigeyS> re-run the script laurence
[18:36] <Laurenceb_> cant
[18:36] <MrCraig> I've assumed you have screen installed - just type "screen" to see if it's recognised,  if not, depending on your distro - "apt-get install screen" or "yum install screen" or "emerge screen"
[18:36] <NigeyS> bbut do screen <script> then you can interact
[18:36] <Laurenceb_> it takes a few weeks to run
[18:36] <NigeyS> ahh dam :|
[18:36] <Laurenceb_> i want to monitor it remotely
[18:36] <MrCraig> oh - it's running already
[18:37] <Laurenceb_> yes
[18:38] <Laurenceb_> does screen pid work?
[18:38] <NigeyS> only to reattach to a running screen
[18:38] <Laurenceb_> ah
[18:39] <NigeyS> screen -r <pid> if running more than 1 instance
[18:39] <Hibby> screen -Dr if it's in use elsewhere - detaches and reattaches in your session

[18:39] <NigeyS> fsphil, is your Vertical still vertical? :p
[18:40] <MrCraig> but if the script is already running and not in a screen, I've no clue how you'd attach to that, and I'd be nervous to try it too for the odds of it killing the process
[18:40] <fsphil> hehe, it was a 45degreeical
[18:40] <fsphil> I took it down, have it lying on the ground
[18:40] <NigeyS> lol not damaged i hope
[18:40] <Laurenceb_> MrCraig: ok
[18:41] <fsphil> one little wire got bend out of shape, but nothing much
[18:41] <NigeyS> ahh cool
[18:42] <NigeyS> laurenceb depending on what you want to do you could run strace on the pid .. but id be careful with it
[18:42] <Laurenceb_> yeah
[18:42] <NigeyS> actually ptrace would be better, dont think itd kill the script, but i wouldnt guarantee it

[18:44] <mattltm> Nope. I have a Yaesu FT-857 sitting here :)
[18:45] <NigeyS> ahh oki, mustve been someone else .. and grr im jealous of that 857 :P
[18:45] <mattltm> I love it. Took part in the 144 UKAC on tuseday.
[18:45] <mattltm> First contest I have done.
[18:45] <mattltm> Managed 2 contacts :/

[18:46] <mattltm> 4 ele yagi
[18:46] <Colin-G8TMV> and I hope you uploaded your log
[18:46] <fsphil> same here, 4 el but I only managed one
[18:46] <mattltm> but i am only 3oM ASL

[18:47] <Colin-G8TMV> where do you live?
[18:47] <mattltm> In kent. My only clear los is to maidstone :)
[18:47] <mattltm> thats it.
[18:48] <Colin-G8TMV> Hmm... yeah, that wouldn't help - you need to go out portable then
[18:48] <mattltm> Managed 1 contact in essex and one on the isle of sheppy
[18:48] <mattltm> Im going up to the canvy island rally on Sat on the lookout for a beam to go /p with :)
[18:48] <Colin-G8TMV> operate from a car from the top of a hill
[18:48] <fsphil> in my case I ran out of battery power :)
[18:49] <mattltm> The bluebell hill site is 200M ASL with nice clear LOS in all directions. Going there next month.
[18:49] <Colin-G8TMV> get a SLAB - there will be people selling them at the rally
[18:49] <mattltm> with a 12M SCAM mast :)
[18:49] <Colin-G8TMV> get a 70cns beam as well (or a dual band one)
[18:50] <mattltm> I have 4 x 7Ah SLAB's for SOTA work.
[18:50] <Colin-G8TMV> yeah, a scam is what I'm after for my garden
[18:50] <mattltm> I love my SCAM. Used to use them in a previous job. There is/was a SCAM 21 on ebay yesterday.
[18:50] <mattltm> 21M of pump up delight!
[18:51] <fsphil> SCAM ... sounds like a scam

[19:44] <RocketBoy> the way I generate the serial data for the NTX2 is using software and a timer interrupt - I save the 1 USART on the 2680 for the GPS
[19:45] <Laurenceb_> did they get a NOTAM? (Chris rose and co)
[19:45] <RocketBoy> that could be (has been) done with about 1K on a 16F84

[21:14] <juxta> hi Nigey
[21:15] <juxta> RocketBoy, yeah, they were claiming they'd been found in australia too
[21:16] <RocketBoy> well - i think they actually claim the reports need to be confirmed on the project space planes site
[21:17] <Upu> project little the countryside within 10 miles of the launch more like
[21:17] <Upu> litter
[21:19] <RocketBoy> well my guess is a dispersal of a few km radius - somewhere down wind of the release point
[21:19] <natrium42> o/
[21:19] <RocketBoy> but we will see - its all part or

[21:27] <fsphil> not yet mattltm -- it seems to have landed in a farm, not much chance of someone walking by it
[21:28] <mattltm> Shame. Bee good to know what the problem was.
[21:28] <fsphil> yea!
[21:29] <fsphil> I'm betting the main element broke off
[21:29] <natrium42> gonna do a launch tomorrow
[21:29] <Nigey> :o
[21:29] <fsphil> cool!
[21:30] <Nigey> fsphil, do you have the co-ordinates of hadies location ?
[21:30] <fsphil> Nigey, roughly yea
[21:35] <natrium42> ok, maybe i should start building a tracker...

[21:35] <juxta> heya natrium42
[21:35] <juxta> what're you flying tomorrow? :)
[21:35] <natrium42> hi juxta, my brother is launching a go pro hd camera
[21:35] <natrium42> tomorrow
[21:35] <juxta> nice! :)
[21:36] <juxta> same launch site as last time?
[21:36] <natrium42> i am responsible for tracking
[21:36] <natrium42> yeah
[21:36] <Nigey> oo some nice video footage :D
[21:36] <natrium42> i was planning to just use SPOT2
[21:36] <natrium42> but maybe i can slap a tracker together quickly, with a NTX2 module
[21:36] <natrium42> the problem is antenna for radio
[21:36] <natrium42> no 434MHz yagi...
[21:36] <natrium42> guess a whip will do

[21:37] <juxta> I'd gladly lend you one if there were not thousands of KM between us :)
[21:38] <natrium42> :D
[21:38] <juxta> that looks good
[21:38] <natrium42> i could build a moxon
[21:38] <juxta> wow, 7m/s
[21:38] <juxta> that's quite fast
[21:38] <natrium42> otherwise it ends up in toronto
[21:38] <juxta> yeah
[21:38] <natrium42> he has to launch it soon
[21:38] <natrium42> project for some course he is taking
[21:38] <juxta> that would be less than ideal
[21:39] <juxta> oh right
[21:39] <natrium42> due tuesday
[21:39] <Nigey> got alot of little lakes havent you !
[21:39] <natrium42> oh yes
[21:40] <natrium42> it almost feels like we're on an island
[21:40] <Nigey> paddle boat and bathers for recovery just in case? :P
[21:40] <natrium42> well, hopefully the little ones are frozen
[21:40] <Nigey> oh yeah course, its still stupidly cold over there
[21:41] <juxta> look at all our lakes: http://maps.google.com.au/?ie=UTF8&ll=-30.287532,137.351074&spn=6.372931,10.810547&z=7

[21:44] <natrium42> juxta: what antenna do you use on the payload?
[21:44] <natrium42> just 4 aerials from shielding and a lengh of wire from the core?
[21:45] <natrium42> 1/4 wave?
[21:45] <juxta> I use a 1/4 wave with groundplane, which I make out of flexible braided steel cable so that it doesnt poke eyes out/get bent
[21:45] <natrium42> ah
[21:45] <juxta> so yeah, the 1 driven element + 4 radials
[21:46] <natrium42> no impedance matching?
[21:46] <juxta> nah I dont bother :)
[21:46] <natrium42> :)
[21:46] <juxta> still seems to work just fine
[21:46] <juxta> i made something similar for rx and put it on a network analyser, it was okay-ish
[21:47] <juxta> works great for rx though :D
[21:48] <natrium42> kk, easy then :)
[21:50] <juxta> natrium42, got a sec?
[21:50] <natrium42> yep

[21:51] <griffonbot> Received email: Florian Bruhin <me@the-compiler.org> "Re: [UKHAS] detect balloon burst?"
[21:51] <SpeedEvil> If the groundplane is pointed down, you may not need matching
[21:52] <natrium42> well, the company Bell owns all DSL infrastructure so the smaller ISPs go through them
[21:52] <natrium42> so Bell just got our communications regulatory body to jack prices up
[21:53] Action: natrium42 has cable anyway :P
[21:53] <juxta> ah, that was what I suspected
[21:53] <juxta> so basically all the small dsl players were forced to follow bell's pricing
[21:53] <natrium42> yeah
[21:54] <natrium42> do you have a cap?
[21:54] Action: natrium42 's is 125 GB with $1.25 per extra GB
[21:54] <natrium42> 25/1 speed
[21:54] <juxta> yes, caps in australia are normal
[21:55] <juxta> i think mine is 240GB
[21:55] <juxta> I don't get billed overages though
[21:55] <juxta> my speed just throttles if I go over
[21:55] <juxta> to 512k I think
[21:56] <juxta> I can buy extra data if I want though, in blocks of 2-50gb
[21:56] <juxta> recently we've had some good competition here which has spurred lower prices and larger caps
[21:57] <natrium42> competition ftw
[21:57] <griffonbot> Received email: Ed Moore <eam52@cam.ac.uk> "Re: [UKHAS] detect balloon burst?"
[21:57] <juxta> in the past we had some good deals, but restricted to areas in which smaller players had their own DSL infrastructure - our national telco owns mostly everything
[21:57] <natrium42> canada has very few and very big players
[21:57] <juxta> yeah
[21:57] <juxta> we really only have 2 big players here
[21:58] <juxta> and even then the second one is very small in comparison to Telstra, the largest carrier

[22:23] <jonsowman> it's something I should really do at some point
[22:23] <DanielRichman> I pastebinned the code that segfaults- it seems clear why that would maek it segfault
[22:23] <DanielRichman> it dereferences something that it assumes exists
[22:23] <jonsowman> yeah
[22:23] <jonsowman> makes sense

[22:27] <DanielRichman> jonsowman: OK. I think truncating a wind data file to half its original size while keeping the first half of the data might do it
[22:27] <DanielRichman> can't test right now
[22:29] <jonsowman> okay :) will give that a go

[22:53] <Nigey> hmm, are LiPo's ok for high altitude temps?
[22:54] <jonsowman> Nigey: not great
[22:54] <jonsowman> capacity drops significantly as temp falls
[22:54] <Nigey> ahh dam, better stick with the original plan of the energizer lithium's
[22:54] <jonsowman> they are usually a good bet
[22:55] <Nigey> was going to power the gps on its own lipo seeing as i have 2 of them lying around now
[22:55] <jonsowman> a few LiPos have been flown (CUSF badgercub, forex)
[22:55] <jonsowman> but you need to anticipate the drop in capacity and make sure that's acceptable
[22:55] <jonsowman> I'd stick with Lis, they have proven capacity and terminal voltage stability with temperature
[22:55] <Nigey> yeah, i checked the gps spec sheet and it doesnt perform to well if the drop is much below 3.0v so maybe play it safe with the alternative
[22:56] <jonsowman> you don't want your GPS dying due to undervolting
[22:56] <jonsowman> indeed
