02:35 <_whitenotifier-f> [glasgow] whitequark closed issue #571: EPROM HAT - https://github.com/GlasgowEmbedded/glasgow/issues/571

06:31 <JanIbrahim[m]> Thank you very much 👍👍👍

13:59 <cyborg_ar> i designed a 3d printed case https://i.imgur.com/9o6xV8x.png

13:59 <cyborg_ar> :D

14:02 <whitequark[cis]> nice

14:02 <whitequark[cis]> is that freecad?

14:03 <cyborg_ar> yep

14:03 <whitequark[cis]> also, what are you using for lightpipes?

14:03 <whitequark[cis]> the case looks pretty good, if it works well (especially lightpipes) I'd be interested to have it upstream if you're willing to do it under a compatible license

14:05 <cyborg_ar> off the shelf part, Dialight 515-1003F https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/dialight/5151003F/2432714

14:05 <cyborg_ar> yeah i am going to do some tests to see how well it works, once everything fits i can share the freecad/step files.

14:06 <whitequark[cis]> oooh that is cool

14:06 <cyborg_ar> basically, a dozen of those lightpipes plus 4 M3 threaded inserts is all that is needed

14:06 <cyborg_ar> oh and the screws of course haha

15:20 <fishmonger[m]> Fancy! I just shoved a bunch on cut-off HDD carrier light-pipes into mine:

15:29 <whitequark[cis]> nice

16:38 <cyborg_ar> I am looking into maybe using clear petg filament chunks instead

19:04 <whitequark[cis]> <cyborg_ar> "I am looking into maybe using..." <- I thought about that too

19:05 <fishmonger[m]> That might work. The only "clear" filament I have is TPU95 though, and that's hard to polish up the ends of.

19:06 <fishmonger[m]> So looking forward to yoyur tests!

19:06 <cyborg_ar> No need to polish if you cut the ends properly first

19:06 <cyborg_ar> At my job we use microtome blades to cut optical inputs in polycarbonate fiber optics

19:07 <fishmonger[m]> Just tried a scalpel on the TPU, it immediately turned frosty.

19:10 <cyborg_ar> Hm

19:10 <cyborg_ar> Chopping or slicing motion?

19:11 <fishmonger[m]> Chopping. Slicing gets worse, you strech it more.

19:12 <fishmonger[m]> We are solving a problem that doesn't need to be solved though. Clear PLA/PETG is cheaper than TPU 🙂

19:13 <cyborg_ar> Yea

19:13 <cyborg_ar> I just tried putting petg in our optic chopper and it makes a really pretty cut

19:22 <fishmonger[m]> If chopped up filament works I could change and release my model. Only reason I didn't was because who else has a whole box of 2.5mm HDD light pipes laying around?

19:24 <fishmonger[m]> Not suitable for going upstream though. It's a F360 project.

23:01 <sigstoat[m]> while working away on my applet yesterday, i realized that i'd been trying to write 16 bits at a time into the `in_fifo`. i had assumed the fifo was 8 bits wide, but that didn't throw any errors, and ran. what was happening under the hood? failure and sadness? undefined? the convenient thing of sending the high byte and then the low byte?

23:08 <Darius> sigstoat[m]: I think it would just be throwing away the top 8 bits
