[01:55] <ibeardslee> hads: not yet
[01:55] <ibeardslee> Aunt in Connecticut, sent it yesterday
[01:55] <ibeardslee> reckoned she was told it'd be 6 days
[01:56] <ibeardslee> I've seen some of your tweets about your's
[01:56]  * ibeardslee is slightly jealous 
[01:56] <ibeardslee> hads: any tips/tricks to getting an arduino working nicely with natty?
[03:18] <ibeardslee> ls -l /dev/ttyU*
[03:19] <ibeardslee> gah
[04:18] <ibeardslee> yay .. managed to sort it .. had to reset the firmware .. but the distructions all pointed to an earlier board than I have
[04:18] <ibeardslee> the Uno R2 required different things to be done to do the reset
[20:00] <olly> morning
[20:00]  * olly takes advantage of jetlag and unmetered overnight bandwidth to upgrade to natty
[20:35] <ibeardslee> morning
[20:52] <ajmitch> morning
[21:18] <snail> moring all
[21:23] <Atamira> morena
[21:36] <olly> hmm, upgrading seems to assume you have a reliable net connection
[21:36] <olly> if anything fails, it bails out and you have to restart
[21:36] <olly> seems to keep downloaded packages, but redownload the upgrade tool
[21:37] <ajmitch> that sounds painful
[21:37]  * ajmitch cheated & did it manually
[21:38] <olly> hmm
[21:38]  * olly asumed the tool actualy did something useful
[21:39] <ajmitch> it does
[21:39] <olly> like working around stuff
[21:39] <ajmitch> there are a bunch of workarounds
[21:40] <ajmitch> I just like the manual control of selecting packages to upgrade & seeing what would be removed
[21:45] <hads> ibeardslee: Sorry busy doing mothers day stuff.
[21:45] <hads> I've been informed there is a potential issue with the Arduino Uno's USB code and Linux.
[21:45] <hads> Sounds like you found a workaround? If not let me know and I'll see what I can sort out for you.
[21:46] <snail> nice, so i call $slimy-vendor and he says 'that's not our hardware, that's $other-brand and it's serviced out of Australia'
[21:47] <ibeardslee> hads: got it working, pushed the blink sketch to it
[21:47] <hads> Was it something to do with the serial output from the arduino and the optiboot firmware? Or something else.
[21:48] <ibeardslee> ended up pushing the firmware that came with the ubuntu install of arduino to it
[21:48] <hads> Okay cool
[21:48] <ibeardslee> the tx light was on all the time, which seems to imply that the serial stuff was borked
[21:48] <hads> Apparantly if you use Serial.prin/win 5
[21:49] <hads> D'oh
[21:49] <ibeardslee> the tricky bit was the R2 board that I had, had a slightly different layout with some extra header pins
[21:49] <ibeardslee> than the what everyone else was describing for the hardware reset
[21:50] <hads> Oh
[21:50] <ibeardslee> http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php?topic=60166.0
[21:53] <hads> Very interesting, I hadn't noticed that yet. Thanks for the link
[22:47] <thumper> morning fellow kiwis
[22:49] <ajmitch> morning thumper & welcome back to the land of sunshine & warmth :)
[22:49] <thumper> sunshine, yes, warmth, not so much
[22:49] <thumper> I'm waiting for my coffee to be made
[22:49] <thumper> not had a decent one for 10 days
[22:50] <ajmitch> how was the DX sprint?
[23:04] <thumper> good
[23:05] <thumper> sorry, looked away :)
[23:05] <thumper> it was great to meet the rest of the team
[23:05] <thumper> lots of talking and hacking
[23:05] <thumper> and a little drinking
[23:05] <thumper> almost surprisingly little
[23:08] <ajmitch> that'll probably be a bit different at UDS this week
[23:16] <thumper> yeah
