| 16:13.38 | rm | ah right |
| 16:13.46 | rm | it's that SMC USB hub + Ethernet chip |
| 16:19.29 | jammi | probably more design errors on the board the, if there's usb current flowing thru that chip, it would explain a few things |

| 19:32.58 | SquirrelCZECH | is there some electronic expert? |
| 19:33.08 | SquirrelCZECH | need suggestions on powering the cubieboard O:-) |
| 19:33.30 | SquirrelCZECH | because I've got Li-Po battery, which had 8.4V - 6.6V |
| 19:33.37 | jammi | easy, take any 5VDC power and plug it in |
| 19:33.37 | SquirrelCZECH | and not exactly sure what to use with cubie |
| 19:33.50 | jammi | ah, use a regulator or something |
| 19:34.01 | SquirrelCZECH | just standart regulator circuit? |
| 19:34.08 | jammi | yes |
| 19:34.30 | jammi | but don't try to charge the battery without a proper charger |
| 19:34.39 | SquirrelCZECH | I know how to use them! :D |
| 19:34.45 | jammi | good :) |
| 19:34.50 | SquirrelCZECH | is "Racer" with RC Cars, where they are pretty common |
| 19:35.10 | SquirrelCZECH | which reason why I have one free for cubie, it's not powerfull enough to be used as "Racing one" now |
| 19:35.23 | SquirrelCZECH | only 2 years old and it's not usable :-/ |
| 19:35.37 | jammi | I have a lot of them, because I vape electronic cigarrettes and their heating coils are quite power-hungry |
| 19:35.47 | SquirrelCZECH | :D |
| 19:36.16 | jammi | also need fine-tuned adjustments for the power, otherwise the vapour tastes either watery or burnt |
| 19:36.32 | SquirrelCZECH | us building "wifi controlled robot" |
| 19:36.35 | SquirrelCZECH | *is |
| 19:36.57 | SquirrelCZECH | old RC car as base, Li-Po battery for power, arduino controlls the rc car, cubieboard is brain :-) |
| 19:37.58 | SquirrelCZECH | hmm |
| 19:38.10 | SquirrelCZECH | stil doesn't feel like building my own Li-Po 5V source |
| 19:38.14 | SquirrelCZECH | maybe asking someone nearby |
| 19:38.44 | buZz | or grab a 'USB battery' |
| 19:39.29 | jammi | yes, those are practical |
| 19:40.08 | jammi | too bad the cheap ones ship so slow nowadays; they actually ship. li-battery airmail is banned, at least from china |
| 19:40.32 | buZz | ah, well |
| 19:40.46 | buZz | i bought a 1500mAh one here at a store in my town |
| 19:41.03 | SquirrelCZECH | usb batterY? |
| 19:41.05 | buZz | but it didnt really fit my purpose sadly |
| 19:41.15 | buZz | SquirrelCZECH: charge it over USB |
| 19:41.22 | buZz | SquirrelCZECH: and it has a powered USB socket |
| 19:41.29 | buZz | so USB in USB out |
| 19:41.38 | SquirrelCZECH | wow, great idea |
| 19:43.44 | buZz | anyway |
| 19:43.48 | SquirrelCZECH | nah, most of chargers are for 1s lipo only :-/ |
| 19:43.54 | buZz | if you want to turn your spare lipo into 5v |
| 19:43.58 | buZz | grab this; http://www.ti.com/product/pth08080w |
| 19:44.34 | SquirrelCZECH | looks nice |
| 19:44.49 | buZz | scroll down 'free sample' and be sure to get the 'Through-Hole Module (EUF)' version |
| 19:45.43 | buZz | cant beat free 2.25A regulators ;) |
| 19:45.49 | SquirrelCZECH | :D |
| 19:47.20 | SquirrelCZECH | yep, but that would still require soldering |
| 19:47.26 | SquirrelCZECH | is not good at this thing |
| 19:47.50 | SquirrelCZECH | more like, not good enough to make something, put it in his robot and had "good sleep" |
| 19:47.55 | SquirrelCZECH | *and have |
| 19:47.56 | buZz | lol |
| 19:48.02 | buZz | learn ;) |
| 19:48.05 | buZz | soldering is easy |
| 19:48.23 | buZz | http://mightyohm.com/files/soldercomic/FullSolderComic_EN.pdf <--- read this |
| 19:49.28 | buZz | there is probably a czech translation aswell |
| 19:49.34 | SquirrelCZECH | I can read it :D |
| 19:49.38 | SquirrelCZECH | it looks great |
| 19:50.10 | buZz | mitch altman is very wise and cool |
| 19:50.27 | SquirrelCZECH | pl |
| 19:50.30 | SquirrelCZECH | ok |
| 19:55.53 | jammi | soldering is not only easy, but it's fun too |
| 19:59.42 | jammi | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYcofQMHm2o |
| 20:00.04 | jammi | is in finnish, but you get the idea |
| 20:01.57 | jammi | someone should write cc's |
| 20:03.58 | buZz | man, that poor board :( |
| 20:04.00 | jammi | anyway, I'd say basic soldering is about two simple things: 1) use soldering grease 2) pre-wet both parts with solder before making the solder joint |
| 20:04.04 | buZz | jammi: cc's ? |
| 20:04.11 | jammi | subtitles |
| 20:04.16 | buZz | i never use grease |
| 20:04.34 | jammi | I almost always use grease |
| 20:06.12 | jammi | especially when soldering wires |
| 20:07.37 | jammi | the soldering iron / station and other gear is of secondary importance |
| 20:08.46 | buZz | heh, i have been using a 12watt 'dumb' weller for many years |
| 20:08.51 | buZz | i like to use 'bad' tools |
| 20:09.05 | jammi | same, it's more about the skill anyway |
| 20:09.28 | jammi | same for multimeters etc, I only use the cheap / bad stuff |
| 20:09.37 | buZz | hehe yeah |
| 20:09.51 | buZz | some guy at our hackerspace only could work with a fluke |
| 20:09.59 | buZz | i laughed at him silly :P |
| 20:10.38 | jammi | yeah, design is about making stuff robust enough to not be sensitive to tiny fluctuations |
| 20:10.58 | jammi | if you need some overly expensive tools, you're doing it wrong |
| 20:12.48 | jammi | ..or doing some funky high-precision analog interfacing stuff |
| 20:13.03 | buZz | hehe |
| 20:13.12 | jammi | that said, I should get an oscilloscope of some sort |
| 20:13.16 | buZz | no he just couldnt figure why HE needed to pick the max voltage |
| 20:13.17 | buZz | :P |
| 20:13.28 | buZz | i found a scope while dumpsterdiving :D |
| 20:13.28 | jammi | wow |
