Kilosor tries too anyway08:24
Kiloswasnt it suggested that we get more involved with lugs, or them with us?08:25

KilosMaNI  feeling clever?10:09
MaNInot particularly, but I can try anyway10:09
Kiloslol10:10
Kilosive forgotten the formula to work out what current limiting resistor is needed to supply 5v to a led10:10
Kiloslike i want to use the 5v from a usb port but dunno how to work out what resistor will stop the led blowing10:11
MaNII knew all this stuff once :(10:13
Kiloslol me too but kinda long ago10:13
MaNIhttp://ledcalc.com/ :p10:13
Kilosty 10:13
MaNIcan't you select the voltage on USB as well, so the first question is what USB voltage10:14
Kilosi just gotta curb browsing for some days10:14
Kilosusb supplies 5v to charge cells etc10:14
MaNIor is that only usb210:14
MaNII know the upcoming USB can go up to 18 or something10:15
Kilosi dunno, any usb port10:15
MaNIahh yeah its only 5v for now, its the next one where you can select10:16
MaNI5/12/20 - thats going to be pretty cool10:16
Kilosi just want to supply light to keyboard from usb10:17
Kilosthen i can tell pro how or make him one10:17
MaNIUSB-PD - the end of wall warts :p10:18
MaNIUSB 1/2 seem to be 5v 2.5W10:18
Kilosok now10:19
Kilosyou know the leds that show hdd working etc10:19
MaNIthose standard little ones yeah?10:19
Kilosthey take their power off the motherboard so the mobo most likely does the limiting for you10:20
MaNIabout 150 Ohm apparently10:21
MaNIfor a green one10:21
Kilosnow i want to try one or 2 that will light just enough to see a keyboard in the dark10:21
Kilosoh i can measure one10:21
=== Cryterion`hiding is now known as Cryterion
Cryterion250ohm's minimum10:21
CryterionNormally led's can handle a max of 20mA with V = IR (Volts = Current * Resistance) 5 volts/0.02A = 250ohms Kilo's10:22
Kilosya but the current limiting thing took v in - v out and some other stuffs10:23
Kiloslemme work at it and will let you know10:24
MaNIthey seem to factor voltage drop across the LED in somehow to get 150 for 20mA10:24
MaNIbut I'm so rusty on this stuff so don't take my word for it :p10:24
CryterionYes, the resistor is doing the current limiting, going for a 500ohm will only allow 10mA through to the LED, half it's brightness10:24
Kiloslol10:24
CryterionMaybe10:25
CryterionI use a standard of a 1K resistor on my controllers, led's are still bright enough10:25
Kiloswhen using what voltage and from where Cryterion  10:26
CryterionThat being at 5V10:26
MaNI250 does seem a safe bet then10:27
Kilosthe usb port must be quite powerful because it can power up external drives10:27
CryterionBut that's via a v-reg onboard, I'd rather say put a 1k, then you only 25% of max rating of the led and port10:27
MaNIonly 900 mA on usb 3 :p10:28
Kilosill try that first ty guys10:28
CryterionThough usb was lower10:28
Cryterionthought*10:28
MaNI500 mA on usb 1/210:28
Kilosi dont have usb310:28
Cryterionok10:28
MaNI5A on USB-PD - can't wait :p10:29
CryterionDon't pop your led Kilos :)10:29
Kilosya lol10:29
CryterionI've had them explode on me before10:29
Kilosaw the white one i was hoping to use is popped already before i even get to try10:30
MaNIyou sure its not infared? :p10:31
Kilosfrom an old p310:31
MaNIhehe10:31
Kilosmurphy's law10:32
Kilosas jy kan sukkel, sal jy10:32
Kilosled about 1.8 ohms10:35
Kilosai!10:36
Kilos1k resistor is brown black brown right10:38
Kilosbbroygbvgw10:38
MaNIbrown black red I think10:40
MaNIbrown black brown would be 10010:41
Kilosah ty10:41
Kilosw000t got one10:44
CryterionIt could also be brown black black brown (If 5 band resistors)10:44
Kilosheavy work when you need reading glasses and a magnifying glass to see what you use to see without glasses10:45
Kilosfluke says 991 ohms10:45
Cryterionclose enough10:45
Cryterionnormally a 5% accuracy10:45
Cryterionthat's what the gold band would say10:46
Kilosya good enough10:46
Kilosya got a gold band too10:47
Kilosim lucky to be surrounded by clever peeps10:49

mazalHi all16:13
mazalmaaz tell Cryterion Please message mazal re Server Store16:14
Maazmazal: Got it, I'll tell Cryterion on freenode16:14
Kiloswat nou mazal  16:15
mazalKilos, I needs to ask Cryterion something16:15
Kilosoh you didnt break something16:16
mazalRe our minetest world16:16
Kilosoh ya16:16
mazalNope , didn't break anything16:16
Kilosgood16:16
mazalBut the night is young16:16
Kiloshahaha16:16
mazalBTW , ordered an internal drive for server for that backups thing , so might break my server soon :P16:17
Kilosaha, no man dont break it 16:17
Kilosthings must just work16:17
mazalIs linux , so it should16:18
Kilosnono16:18
Kilosthat old motto must die now16:18
mazalWhat one ?16:18
Kilosits linux so it must break16:19
mazalI was answering the " things must work "16:19
mazalIE it's linux , so it must just work16:19
Kiloslol ok16:20
Kilosthats why many stayed away from linux because things broke16:20
Kilosand you needed to be a serious geek to fix it16:21
mazalIgnorance is also a big reason hey16:21
Kilosyeah i broke things often16:22
mazalThere are tons of users who still think " Linux is for server , it doesn't have apps for desktop pc's "16:22
Kilosbut over 1 year now on 14.04 kd16:22
Kilose16:22
mazalThey simply don't know what it has these days16:22
Kilosi cant remember if cryterion comes on at night16:23
Kiloshe was here all day , why didnt you ask him16:23
mazalI wasn't here16:23
mazalOnly came in from the sites late16:23
Kilosah16:23
Kilosok16:23
mazalAnd didn't know what I needed then anyway16:24
mazalJust realized it :P16:24
Kiloslol16:24

Kiloshaha you becoming a good swimmer hey spinza  17:37
Kiloshi superfly  inetpro  17:42
MaNIin a DB board is the rail that the breakers on usually earthed?17:47
Kiloswhats a DB board17:49
magespawnno but it should also not be live17:49
magespawnthe distribution board, like in you rhouse17:50
magespawnhouse too17:50
Kilosoh17:50
Kilosours is on a eskom pole17:50
Kilosoh wait17:51
MaNIwhere your earth leakage is :p17:51
Kilosyaya i caught on17:51
magespawnthat is your main breaker, there has to be one in the house17:51
MaNIso if something really bad happened like a breaker somehow melted that rail would be hot then?17:52
Kilosthe rail that the breakers clip on is not connected to anything17:52
Kilosseparate bars feed live neutral and earth17:52
MaNIis there plastic spacers or something behind it isolating it from the box then?17:53
Kilosnot that i remember17:54
Kilosthe whole box is not connected to anything17:54
MaNIis the box also not earthed?17:54
MaNII presumed the box would be :/17:55
Kilosbut i can strip this one tomorrow and look for you17:55
Kilosthinking about it having the box earthed is good for safety purposes17:55
Kiloswhy you ask MaNI  what happened17:56
magespawnthe wires coming should be fully insulated17:56
MaNIlol nothing happened just curious, busy looking at plastic ones (for a solar combiner box), and was wondering about the rail, and then my mind went to the metal ones17:57
MaNIjust curious :p17:57
magespawnif a breaker has melted then something is seriously wrong in the first place, so all bets are off17:57
magespawnahh right17:57
Kiloslol17:57
MaNII did have a circuit breaker melt in my house once17:57
MaNIactually our entire mains/earth fused17:58
Kilosoverloaded17:58
MaNIsomething went wrong with the sub in our street17:58
Kiloseish17:58
MaNIwe had like 2k volts coming in17:58
MaNIswitched the lights on an the bulb vaporised :p17:58
Kiloseish they bypassed the transformer17:58
MaNIheh it was a failure of some kind scary stuff 17:59
Kilossjoe17:59
MaNIcan't recall if it was as high as 2k but it was high :p17:59
Kilosmagespawn  does the name carin sound familiar18:07
Cryterionhttp://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kAG39jKi0lI18:11
Cryterionjust something funny18:11
Kilosmazal  ^^18:12
magespawnKilos: yes, why?18:27
Kilostwitter just mailed me with peeps it thinks i should follow and i saw the name18:28
Kilosi normally just delete them18:29
Kilosi dunno how it decides who one should follow18:29
Kilosbut i dont follow for the fun of following or being able to brag how many followers ive got18:30
Kilosfacebook does the same thing18:30
Kilosgrrr18:30
magespawncarin is my wifes name18:33
Kilosi wonder how twitter decided i should follow her18:34
magespawndo you follow me?18:37
Kilosi dont know18:37
magespawnokay then18:38
Kilosi tried to only follow ubuntu peeps and eskom and telkom18:38
magespawnit usually suggests follows based on who you follow, etc etc18:38
Kilosfb has hundreds waiting to become friends18:38
Kilosoh maybe i follow you then and thats where it found a connection18:39
magespawni would find that likely18:41
Kilosi only use twitter to fight with isps 18:41
Kilosi wonder where inetpro  is18:51
Kilosscared he has to work so just lurks18:51
inetproKilos: +118:51
Kiloslol18:51
Kilosnaand boetie18:52
inetpromakes two of us18:52
* inetpro got lost in the ether18:52
Kiloshaha18:52
Kilosi had a big fight this avy18:53
Kilosnearly broke my nose18:54
Kilosram charged me so i skopped him on the nose18:55
Kilosthat made him crosser18:55
Kilossecond charge i sidestepped and grabbed his head and jumped on his back18:56
smilebye :)18:56
smilegood night Kilos 18:56
Kilosand instead of lying down he ran with me 18:56
Kilosnight smile  18:56
Kilossleep tight18:56
smile:D thanks18:56
Kilosso i reached around his body and grabbed a front leg so he fell18:57
Kilosthen he hit head backwards onto my nose18:57
Kilosbut he fell anyway so i sat on him and bled on him and slapped him silly18:58
Kilosnou weet hy wie is baas18:58
magespawnindeed19:09
Kiloslol19:09
Kilosvery sore nose though19:10
Kilosnight all, sleep tight19:20
