daftykinsFireball XL-5 colourised edition - bluray :D00:52
daftykinsif you have an android phone, search on the google play store for 'irc' then look at the first screenshot for 'Yaaic' - i'm famous!01:54
diddledanI _REALLY_ suck at soldering02:06
diddledanthe good news however, is I have a soldering iron \o/02:06
daftykinsi feel you now know just enough to be dangerous02:09
* daftykins squints and grips the fire extinguisher02:09
diddledanso. I built a thing. and it seems to be working02:18

diddledanmorning08:27
knightwisehey diddledan how are ya today08:33
diddledangood here08:33
diddledanupgrading a pi to raspbian jessie right now08:33
diddledan(model B+)08:34
diddledan(I think it's a B+ anywho - I lost track of the revisions)08:34
diddledanI got busy last night with a soldering iron \o/08:35
knightwisegot an interesting question from a client yesterday08:35
knightwisehe wants an un-motion detector08:35
knightwisea webcam that alerts him when motion on a certain machine STOPS08:36
diddledanhmm08:36
diddledancan you prove a negative?08:36
knightwisebeen wracking my brain on how to research that . Softwarewise its just about switching the "trigger" from "when it moves' to "when it doesnt' but ... how do i google that.08:36
knightwisetake 5 pictures, compare them. if they are different everything is ok08:37
knightwiseif 5 of them are exactly the same : alert08:37
diddledanI think I'd do it in two steps - set up motion sensing and then invert the output08:38
diddledanso 1 when motion detected becomes 0 and vicky verky08:38
diddledanyou want the motion sensing bit to give you a straight boolean output08:39
* diplo agrees with diddledan 08:47
diploCould test with a normal PIR depending on the machine08:47
diploWouldn't it be better to try and actually interact with the machine?08:48
diddledanI can do very shoddy soldering now!08:49
diddledansolder all the things!08:49
MooDoomorning all08:50
zmoylan-piif the machine has any vibration then balancing a mouse in such a way that the mouse pointer trembles would capture motion09:03
knightwisezmoylan-pi: its a printerpress , so that would work.09:08
knightwiseso when the mouse stops jittering, an alert goes of ?09:08
MartijnVdSscreensaver comes on09:11
MartijnVdSwhich sends a dbus msg09:11
knightwisehmmm.. now there is something :)09:11
zmoylan-pibonus points to set up cdrom drive eject to turn it off and on again if necessary... :-)09:12
diplohahahah in a nerdy irc channel by chance :D09:17
zmoylan-pithere are non nerdy irc channels?09:17
diploYeah, well maybe not on Freenode :)09:18

MartijnVdSdiddledan: ooh fun!:)12:31
MartijnVdS"plain" serial or USB? (remember the latency..)12:31
diddledanit's on a pi via the gpio headers for serial-nmea/gps and an additional pin for kernel-based pps12:32
MartijnVdSah cool12:32
diddledanmy soldering work was shoddy tho :-p12:32
