[00:20:45] <cradek> interesting, I got a copy of the gpl with my netgear router
[00:21:36] <alex_joni> nice :)
[00:21:57] <jmkasunich> does that mean you can hack on it?
[00:21:58] <cradek> and a url to download 44MB of stuff
[00:22:13] <cradek> at 1MB/sec, wooo
[00:22:45] <cradek> ... done
[00:22:50] <jmkasunich> nice
[00:23:06] <alex_joni> what's the model name?
[00:23:22] <cradek> WGR614v9
[00:28:01] <cradek> 4. Run the following commands to build image
[00:28:03] <cradek> ...
[00:28:04] <cradek> make
[00:28:04] <alex_joni> suprisingly few hits with linux + WGR614v9
[00:28:09] <cradek> 5. The final image is "bcm5354/src/router/mipsel-uclibc/kernel_image.chk".
[00:28:09] <cradek> User may upgrade to this image using the WGR614v9 GUI "Router Upgrade" page.
[00:28:21] <alex_joni> sounds quite easy :)
[00:28:38] <cradek> that is slick.
[00:28:51] <cradek> this is the "cheap" device ($45)
[00:31:47] <cradek> "Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm" (warning on the packaging of my chinese network cable)
[00:32:21] <alex_joni> ha.. I know why :P
[00:32:36] <alex_joni> I have one of my own
[00:32:38] <cradek> it has 4 telephone-related warnings
[00:32:52] <alex_joni> "Never keep the telephon wires in your mouth when the phone rings"
[00:33:11] <cradek> "never try to plug a network cable into a telephone jack"
[00:33:13] <alex_joni> that seriously hurts your tongue :P
[00:33:44] <alex_joni> I was installing a phoneline once, and needed my hands free.. so I took the wires in my mouth (I was young and stupid)
[00:33:50] <alex_joni> and it happend to ring just then :/
[00:34:01] <cradek> it's only about 90V
[00:35:02] <alex_joni> *only* he says
[00:35:11] <alex_joni> put that on your tongue
[00:36:39] <cradek> sorry, too smart for that
[00:37:48] <alex_joni> 9V batteries are not nice :)
[00:49:10] <jmkasunich> lol
[00:50:30] <jmkasunich> cradek: I can append G33 moves with differnent K values and it will just run them together, right? no stop to resync, just a thread with varying pitch?
[00:50:44] <cradek> yes
[00:51:00] <jmkasunich> I'm gonna be making a very peculiar thread, you can make the matching nut
[00:51:08] <cradek> ha
[00:51:23] <cradek> just for fun, or for a very peculiar application?
[00:51:35] <jmkasunich> rat trap powered vehicle - trap pulls string, string unwinds off of shaft to turn wheel
[00:51:45] <cradek> ahh
[00:51:51] <cradek> I bet you are making a fusee
[00:51:53] <jmkasunich> I'm gonna start the "shaft" large for quick accel, then taper it down
[00:52:03] <jmkasunich> yep
[00:52:10] <jmkasunich> I forgot that it had a name
[00:52:28] <cradek> well that means you want constant force from a spring that unwinds
[00:52:39] <cradek> sounds like that's not quite what you're doing, but similar idea
[00:52:42] <jmkasunich> well, I'm not going for constant
[00:52:54] <jmkasunich> but similar concept
[00:52:59] <cradek> fun
[00:53:14] <jmkasunich> my main problem is that the wheel on the ground will be making 50ish revolutions
[00:53:15] <cradek> I haven't made one yet but that's one of the reasons I gave G33 that ability
[00:53:24] <jmkasunich> thats a lot of wraps of string
[00:53:53] <cradek> dental floss?
[00:53:56] <jmkasunich> which even at a tight pitch uses lots of shaft length in an inconvenient place
[00:54:05] <jmkasunich> string isn't the problem, I have several options
[00:54:20] <jmkasunich> but even at 0.015 pitch, 50 turns will be the better part of an inch
[00:54:34] <jmkasunich> which starts to have issues of angle as it feeds off the reel, etc
[00:55:22] <jmkasunich> wonder if I should add a gear stage between ground wheel and fusee shaft
[00:57:22] <jmkasunich> looks like I can do 3:1 with little trouble
[00:57:39] <jmkasunich> 17 turns will make a much shorter fusee

[01:18:52] <jmkasunich> good night alex
[02:27:44] <seb_kuzminsky> going to go pick up a used 7x14 lathe, whee!
[02:28:17] <jepler> seb_kuzminsky: ooh score
