also more in my email
09:55
Bertl
you've got mail
09:56
danieel
would be good to do development only by 1 channel :) now you have to sync web, mail and lab...
09:56
danieel
probably all ends up in lab. ?
09:56
Bertl
at some point, yes
10:01
danieel
checked the power algo... the ov/uv -> en is sw or hw?
10:02
Bertl
probably hardware, but it could be a cpld
10:02
danieel
it would be not nice to allow sw destruction :/
10:02
Bertl
hehe, no, we plan to make that as safe as possible
10:02
Bertl
ideas there are also very welcome
10:03
danieel
then just a gate + load switch on the board... those are not on the sensor board?
10:05
Bertl
not planned on the sensor board, but it would be an option
10:05
Bertl
i.e. the beta board is planned to sequence the voltages, but the control circuitry prevents applying unsuitable voltages
10:10
Bertl
danieel: ah, I forgot to clarify about the resistor values, they have to be calculated according to the sensor specification, which we didn't do yet
10:12
Bertl
se6astian: the last comment on the web is probably more your area.
10:25
danieel
if you put the control circuit over 2 boards, make the logic in way that disconnection of the ov/uv lines leads to "fail" state
10:25
danieel
(connector failure)
10:26
se6astian
Bertl: will do
10:26
se6astian
maybe you can help me understand "developpement must reach its higher frequency and try to summarize like you just did in order to avoid getting away from the project targets." ?
10:26
Bertl
danieel: yes, thanks, they get weak pull ups on the ov/uv circuit, so a disconnect will cause ov/uv to go high (same for unused voltages)
10:27
Bertl
se6astian: I think this just says that short, bundled updates are a good thing (many different areas reported at once)
10:28
se6astian

Bertl
danieel: what we haven't solved properly yet is how to switch the voltage off on ov/uv without affecting the check voltage while keeping it accurate
10:30
Bertl
any ideas there are very welcome
10:31
danieel
like if there is a short behind the load switch? (en causes uv, and it gets repeatedly switched..?)
10:34
Bertl
yeah, I was thinking of a power regulator design which basically is a voltage follower
10:34
Bertl
i.e. provide the check voltage always
10:34
Bertl
and then power on the high current voltage follower if ov/uv is okay
10:35
Bertl
(which gets automatically disabled once the ov/uv condition appears)

Hi Bertl, quick question: apart from 36 diff pairs and 16 control signals what power connections does the interface board need? How many voltages?
10:57
Bertl
you are talking connection to the Beta board here, in which case it will be 8 voltages and 3*8 voltage control lines
10:57
Bertl
plus a few additional lines for I2C, SPI and JTAG
10:58
Bertl
I will upload an interface board design (empty) shortly
11:02
__anton__
72 wires for diff pairs + ground for power + 8 wires to feed 8 voltages + 16 wires to control the sensor + 24 wires to control voltages + a few extra?
11:03
Bertl
that's about it, we are planning to use dual 120+12 pin connectors between interface board and beta board
11:03
Bertl
those include the ground/power pins placed for shielding of course
11:24
__anton__
But amperage isnt that great on power lines is it?
11:44
Bertl
most voltages will be below 500mA, some have peaks around 2A but that should be mostly covered by decoupling

Bertl: thx, this gives me some idea. I am still going to show you my latest ideas on body design before midnight gmt today. Looks like they would require alternative interface and beta board designs as they rely on a diffetent type of connectors. I am still trying to figure out price and availability of those connectors
12:40
Bertl
note that if you do not care about bandwidth or space, you could split the interface board into two boards and have a low wire count connection between them
12:41
Bertl
you could also equip both boards with high speed serial interfaces and run the data over those
12:41
Bertl
(just some ideas)

Bertl: assuming our connection line is good (no reactive part in impedance) it is okay if some of the dignal pairs are slightly longer than others?
13:31
Bertl
define "some" :)
13:32
__anton__
We have 36 signal pairs. If their length is not identical is that okay?
13:33
Bertl
depends on the protocol we want to run over them, but assumed that the wires in a pair are identical in length, a fixed delay can usually be compensated
13:33
__anton__
Supposr the longest is 3cm longer than the shortest and the rest fall in between?
13:34
__anton__
So there is a delay..
13:34
Bertl
we can go up to 1.5GHz (rough estimate) on those lanes, so yes, the length is significant but could be compensated with a delay element

hi
20:12
intracube
have the M4/3 and 16mm sensor options been dropped?
20:13
intracube
remembers there was talk about focusing on the CMV12000 if the demand for the others was so low
20:14
Bertl
no, they haven't been dropped
20:14
intracube
Bertl: ah ok
20:14
Bertl
we just prioritize on the CMV12000
20:15
intracube
this page could do with updating sometime: https://apertus.org/axiom-beta
20:15
Bertl
in what regard?
20:15
intracube
only the cmv12000 is listed there
20:16
intracube
the indiegogo site has more up to date information
20:16
Bertl
ah, okay, yes, please crate (or extend) a task on the lab

intracube: that was just me talking. It could still make sense to see what the actual pricepoints are, and then offer m43 and 16mms to swap to aps-C
21:16
comradekingu
Current designs are made to be modular, so it does make sense to target more things though

intracube
comradekingu: yep
21:20
intracube
it might actually make sense to have at least two sensor options available
21:20
intracube
if there are any obscure hardware bugs it might help diagnose where the issue is
21:20
intracube
like if the bug only occurs with one of the sensors
21:21
intracube
a bit of diversity can help narrow down some issues
21:21
Rebelj12a
This could totally be modified to shoot 35mm film. haha
21:24
intracube
Rebelj12a: huh?
21:24

I also think that it would be beneficial to have more than one sensor to allow for comparison in many ways

On the dictator, something like http://www.djworx.com/skratchworx/newspage.php?fn_mode=comments&fn_id=1186 is what i had in mind
22:44
comradekingu
I think they can be had with force feedback. The benefit is that you can instantly see where its at, whereas a wheel its not so obvious, even with a needle
22:44
comradekingu
and if handheld, i think its easier to do follow-focus with a slider
