Rebelj12a, I got the Portal joke.
00:26
theuberkevlar
That would be pretty great! GladOS working for apertus. :)

Rebelj12a
haha yes
00:50
Rebelj12a
although HAL-9000 ought to be recognized by most... *looks around shiftily for interlopers*
00:52
Bertl
but it wouldn't be such a triumph :)
01:18
Rebelj12a
True true enough.
01:19
Rebelj12a
makes mental note to make a cardboard version of the Beta with a potato in it and say it runs PotatOS, bonus for working screen.
01:20
Rebelj12a
Bonus for working sensor. I have an old binoculars camera sensor haha like 640x320 resolution pictures I had saved for some project or some other.
01:21
intracube
hello

01:51

Yep PotatOS with LemonBox Power XD Anyways
01:53

Space? Space! Spaaaaaaaaaace!
01:58
theuberkevlar
the final frontier
01:58
theuberkevlar
whoops, wrong quote
01:59
theuberkevlar
On a serious note is there any general tasks that someone with little to no programming experience can help with?
02:00
Bertl
there are a huge number of tasks which do not involve any programming at all
02:00
theuberkevlar
Feedback, contacting people, drawing anime concept art of characters using the BETA while riding on yoshi like creatures.
02:00
theuberkevlar
etc?
02:01
Bertl
for example, but more development related would be
02:01
Bertl
- double and triple checking part dimensions
02:01
Bertl
- designing library components
02:02
Bertl
- documentation and proof reading
02:02
Bertl
and those are just a few which come to my mind right now, because I'm working on the sensor board :)
02:03
Bertl
here are a bunch more:
02:03
Bertl
- finding components and checking prices
02:03
Rebelj12a
Converting all the IAM files to CAD dwg files... *whistle whistle*
02:03
theuberkevlar
Cool! I would be especially helpful with the doc/proof reading.
02:03
Bertl
Rebelj12a: yes, that too for example
02:04
Bertl
making sure that everything is open and well documented
02:05
Rebelj12a
Ive been working on the wiki for that. Just struggling with my most recent project then its open season.

Bertl
theuberkevlar: for example, we have a lot of information which is thrown at us right now ... we won't always succeed in collecting it and putting it somewhere we can look it up when we need to
02:07
Rebelj12a
Ive started a github thing. Although I cant seem to push I dont know might be doing it wrong. Additional folders for info and storage of documents and items.
02:08
Bertl
theuberkevlar: going through the IRC logs and checking if we have that information somewhere and/or referencing it would be a good idea too
02:08
Bertl
Rebelj12a: did se6astian add you to the repository?
02:08
Bertl
if not (yet), just collect it in your repository for now and push it later (after asking him to add you)
02:09
Rebelj12a
I think he did
02:09
Rebelj12a
Like i said i might just be doing it wrong.
02:09
Bertl
there is a git cheat sheet, if you're new to git
02:10
Rebelj12a
yeah
02:10
Bertl
theuberkevlar: this might also be something which could benefit from some quick intro/good documentation
02:10
Bertl
with a few links and some examples how to get started, what can be found where, etc
02:18
Rebelj12a
Ah I cant I see
02:20
theuberkevlar
Cool. So when you say go through the IRC logs to check for stuff, what kind of stuff exactly? Just links that people share or suggestions that people give or dicussions that people have about developing the BETA?
02:21
Bertl
everything, yes
02:21
Bertl
if somebody suggests something and it turns out to be a bad idea or impractical
02:21
Bertl
it doesn't mean that the information is not useful
02:22
Bertl
it should be documented that it was considered and why it was rejected (in this example case)
02:22
Rebelj12a
Yes highlight and screenshot. while I figure out how to get the idea cloud uploaded
03:28
Bertl
off to bed now ... have a good one everyone!

Time to wrestle the gator that is fcpx resolve roundtrip but first, any electrical engineers in the house?
12:42
Bertl
for what purpose?
12:46
Rebelj12a
A question haha. Simple electronics, running 120v power appliances off battery.
12:47
Bertl
doesn't work :)
12:49
Rebelj12a
At all? Not even with a charge up capacitor ballast?
12:50
Bertl
120v = AC, battery = DC
12:50
Bertl
you need an inverter to generate the alternating current
12:51
Rebelj12a
Ahh blast...
12:52
Rebelj12a
Well there goes that idea.
12:53
Rebelj12a
No no what if the battery is hooked up to an inverter and then a ballast stores the power for device use untilnhigh enough charge and releases through resister the amount of current needed?
12:54
Bertl
what appliances do you have in mind?
12:56
Rebelj12a
Personal project and for testing motors without the need to buy them. Project is making a portable smoke machine from an old humidifier. Gives me more experience working with heating elements.
12:56
Rebelj12a
And liquids
12:58
Rebelj12a
Anyways, that one goes on back burner I suppose.

Getting really tired of apples proprietary crap. Can't upgrade my laptop to more EAM because they soldered them in. :/
13:10
Rebelj12a
RAM*
13:11
Bertl
yeah, well, that's not proprietary per se, that is saving space and reducing weight
13:11
Rebelj12a
Maybe... Maaaybe...
13:12
Rebelj12a
Lol, you are probably right but the consumer in me is thinking they just want you to spend more initially by not allowingnyou to upgrade later.
13:18
Rebelj12a
In any case. A bit of news. For those inclined I created a FireChat room for Apertus. Well nothing special... I'm just there and lurking lol. Here's hoping their API comes out and a better app can be made. It has the potential to be a localized sort of IRC.

hey surami
17:46
surami
i have something in my mind again
17:47
Bertl
quick, get it out!
17:47
Bertl
:)
17:47
surami
is it possible to reprogram a HDMI connector from IN to OUT?
17:47
Rebelj12a
Grab the drill!
17:47
surami
or sorry
17:47
Bertl
HDMI connectors are ambivalent to the direction
17:48
surami
i want to OUT to IN
17:48
Rebelj12a
If it has the hardware capability in it. For instance the atrix 2 does not its impossible. Even though it has hdmi out.
17:48
Rebelj12a
Its a hardware thing apparantly
17:48
surami
as we know
17:48
surami
the 4K RAW will go out
17:48
surami
on HDMI
17:49
surami
thats ok
17:49
surami
if the HDMI port of this
17:49
surami
http://www.solid-run.com/wiki/HummingBoard_Hardware
17:49
surami
could be reprogrammed somehow to OUT
17:49
surami
sorry IN!
17:50
surami
then with there is a mini pcie connection on it for eg. SSD
17:50
surami
to save the data
17:50
surami
or msata
17:50
Rebelj12a
Hummingboard itself would capture as like a separate entity?
17:50
surami
and USB to ->
17:50
Rebelj12a
to the ssd?
17:51
Bertl
do you have the schematic somewhere?
17:51
Bertl
the images are not good enough to tell what the components are
17:51
surami
now i don't
17:51
surami
have that
17:52
surami
http://download.solid-run.com/pub/solidrun/HummingBoard/rev-3.0/HummingBoard-rev-3_0-schematics.pdf
17:54
Bertl
hmm, according to that schematic, the HDMI connector is not really connected anywhere?
17:54
surami
this is in my mind AXIOM Beta HDMI out -> HummingBoarad HDMI (reprogrammed port) -> HB mPCIe SDD
17:54
Bertl
i.e. it goes to a another connector
17:55
Bertl
J7
17:55
surami
i don't understand shematics...
17:55
surami
so
17:55
surami
..
17:55
surami
i just understad HDMI, SSD etc. stuffs :D
17:56
Bertl
ah, I see, the core module is just plugged on
17:56
Bertl
so we need some documentation for the MircoSOM i.MX6 as well
17:56
Bertl
basically so far nothing speaks against OUT and IN functionality
17:57
surami
http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/taxonomy.jsp?code=IMX6X_SERIES&cof=0&am=0
18:01
Bertl
I don't see any mentioning of HDMI input on the i.MX6, so I would presume that port is just an output from the graphics engine
18:01
Bertl
but you might want to ask freescale about that, from the hummingboard schematic nothing speaks against it
18:02
surami
we have to bypass the graphic engine
18:02
surami
and let the information flow from HDMI to mPCIe
18:02
surami
:D
18:03
Bertl
(the ZYBO development board for example has a dual role HDMI port)
18:04
Bertl
sounds spectacular! :) but to make it work, you would have to create a filesystem and files on the fly, interpret this for sensding PCIe commands to the SSD and timing/buffering the data accordingly
18:04
surami
well i can't programm and do this kind of stuffs
18:05
Bertl
not saying that it can't be done, but probably not that trivial
18:05
surami
as the first AXIOM Beta will on the tables...
18:05
surami
people will think on this kind of things...
18:06
Bertl
I hope so!
18:06
surami
but paralelly things could be done
18:07
surami
just i don't have the knowledge to do it
18:07
surami
i just share what's in my mind
18:07
Bertl
find somebody who does and motivate him/her to join/help then!

and i don't have so much money to buy tausend dollar stuffs again
18:09
Bertl
well, luckily we reached the 150k stretch goal, so we will find a reasonably priced solution for PC recording at least
18:09
surami
i will be happy as i can collect the money till june for the Beta
18:10
surami
yes PC recording could mean the mini PC thing if is works
18:10

18:14
Rebelj12a
if thats what you are talking about
18:40
Rebelj12a
Bertl, thoughts on gigabit ethernet throughput. For instance, splitting processing cost between two of those hummingbird boards in parallel
18:44
Bertl
gigabit is not very much for 4k raw
18:45
Rebelj12a
No no, to split between two hummingbird boards. Hdmi in to one, split the processing over gigabit ethernet between two boards to record to msata
18:45
Bertl
over the Alpha Gigabit Ethernet (granted, it only does about 600Mbit/s) transferring a snapshot takes about 10 seconds
18:46
Rebelj12a
processing power. Similar to cluster core computing in linux.
18:46
Bertl
I would go for a parallella there if you want to do cluster computing (or more precisely, several of them :)
18:47
Rebelj12a
hm but would it be enough just to cache and save to ssd fast enough
18:47
Bertl
where?
18:49
Rebelj12a
input hdmi data from beta - to hummingbird 2x parallella (not sure what that is but ok - to ssd?
18:56
Rebelj12a
Hey Bertl surami and I were throwing around boards, well not literally. he found this...
18:56
surami
Bertle we found with Rebelj12a: http://hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G140448267127

hah
18:56
surami
lol
18:57
Rebelj12a
its got a few more things than positively needed but its android. Full featured, 2 processor, gpu and 2 hdmi
19:07
Rebelj12a
Nevermind, but it is very close.
19:07
Rebelj12a
no sata or msata out unless an io module can be made for it they dont have one.

This will either go very well or very badly
22:38

not gonna lie about 40% to badly in my opinion....
