#apertus IRC Channel Logs

the ill kept me awake far too long already :)

good night

Hi Bertl. How are you?

I'm well too. It's a miserable rainy day in Sydney today, so I'm lucky to be inside (working in my creative studio today...)

another puzzle piece in the sensor to HDMI setup

indeed

wb aombk!

Bertl: what's your current distro?

on your axiom dev box

about to upgrade to saucy, hopefully I won't break the xilinx tools :P

well, yes. Just hoping no frankensteining will be needed

For Novacut it's kinda important to be keeping current

when was that?

what was wrong?

do we have logs for this?

The bigger problem that I have is that the 2013.3 doesn't work with ubuntu 13.10 (it is true that it is not officialy supported)

this is all I noted from the discussion

will have to consider a workaround then

didn't record that and I do not remember

but if he posted on the forums, it should be easy to find

I think I used ISE

ah, okay

haven't contributed much since I've been busy writing a gstreamer library

the VHDL is roughly the same :)

and such

why is TCL so popular?

also tcl/tk is an abomination

makes GIMP look like an icon of UX design

know who m_foret might be?

okay, will see if he got it working

Hi everyone, Hi aPinky ;-)

morning Bertl!

PhilippeJ: I'm good, thanks for asking. not fully awake yet though :)

I have a nikon F65 in my hands

hahaaa

well, I probably would have checked the ring there and asked him to take the rest of the case back and sell it again :)

Bertl, would you be so kind to dig out the scan you made of the ring on your adapter

sure, sec

thanks

yep, looks good! well done!

they are indeed identical

but I would say there is a high chance this ring will fit on the adapter

(sub milimeter differences)

the guy I bought the camera from for 15€ said he has another one of the same model in case I am interested

but lets put the parts together once the firstcut shipment arrived

ah, just saw, then sensor arrived today, I'll have to check it out tonight I guess :)

so I'd say, end of the week, we should have our second alpha prototype unit!!

did you lasercut the enclosure already?

how about the metal part?

what exactly is the backup plan?

after the attempts to mill the holder failed for you and mars_

yup

the idea is to lock it at the bottom of the acrylic case

well lets try the simple version first

exactly

wonderful

hi here

is there a specific german and english expression for the party one hosts to celebrate moving in a new flat ?

a house warming party?

maybe ! in french it's "pendre la crémaillère", which translate to "hang the pothook", that means hanging the pothook above the fireplace so as to hold pots and cook something on the fireplace

the lens mounts just arrive, first impression is good

that's what you were discussing earlier ?

FergusL: yep

but not a problem IMHO

and depending on the lens design, those 0.02mm is enough to throw the lens way out

Bertl: ok :)

Bertl: the other advantage of a professional mount like PL is that there are many tools available for making sure lenses and camera mounts are in spec. With stills, it's almost non existant. An autofocus sensor has no idea what distance it focuses to, it just says "Yep, that looks in focus"

have you ever seen a lens collimator? It allows you to actually check focus at infinity (as counter intuitive as that sounds)

Bertl: as a focus puller, you also want the hard stop at infinity to actually be infinity :P

off for a nap ... bbl

yeah, the community is growing

morning Sasha_C!

How are you today?

Congratulations! So the lens is firmly fixed to the main body now?

but it means, that we will soon have a fully working alpha prototype which can almost be used like a normal camera

Like music to my ears :)

will do

k, cya
