Ooooooh~ <a class=\"ws_tweet_time\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/SciStarborne\/statuses\/27686325680\">01:19:43, 2010-10-18<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"ws_tweet\">Ubuntu recognizes the bodged-together card reader, Windows gives an error. <a class=\"ws_tweet_time\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/SciStarborne\/statuses\/27686383138\">01:20:24, 2010-10-18<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"ws_tweet\">Card reader is a USB pass-through reader meant to plug onto the side of an Epson printer. Trimmed down case, looks tidy. <a class=\"ws_tweet_time\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/SciStarborne\/statuses\/27686485042\">01:21:39, 2010-10-18<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"ws_tweet\">Suits me fine. Just need the CF socket under Linux for a little project. <a class=\"ws_tweet_time\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/SciStarborne\/statuses\/27686610729\">01:23:09, 2010-10-18<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"ws_tweet\">Tried testing the stall-current of the robots motors. Exceeds 10Amps. High as the meter goes. <a class=\"ws_tweet_time\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/SciStarborne\/statuses\/27686701368\">01:24:15, 2010-10-18<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"ws_tweet\">I also sheared 3 different pins trying to jam the wheel. Hardened steel ok eventually, but it still bent it 90degrees. <a class=\"ws_tweet_time\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/SciStarborne\/statuses\/27686843850\">01:25:59, 2010-10-18<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"ws_tweet\">Stall-current should be 15Amp or over for a 12v 180Watt motor. Will need to find a shunt to up the meter range. And calculations. <a class=\"ws_tweet_time\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/SciStarborne\/statuses\/27687034008\">01:28:18, 2010-10-18<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"ws_tweet\">Will also have to find perfect fit hardened steel pins for the drive shafts. <a class=\"ws_tweet_time\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/SciStarborne\/statuses\/27687117117\">01:29:19, 2010-10-18<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"ws_tweet\">Still, needed castings came out ok today. Some more to do tomorrow still. Livestream also went well. <a class=\"ws_tweet_time\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/SciStarborne\/statuses\/27687386974\">01:32:33, 2010-10-18<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"ws_tweet\">Webcam not auto-working under Ubuntu. Not too bothered yet. Hope to change cam soon anyway. <a class=\"ws_tweet_time\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/SciStarborne\/statuses\/27688283987\">01:43:16, 2010-10-18<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"ws_tweet\">Going in to shower and probably sleep. <a class=\"ws_tweet_time\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/SciStarborne\/statuses\/27688340150\">01:43:56, 2010-10-18<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"ws_tweet\">I have been extremely outbid on the freezer. Very unexpected. :( <a class=\"ws_tweet_time\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/SciStarborne\/statuses\/27743642127\">16:14:16, 2010-10-18<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"ws_tweet\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/sorvall_sergal\">@sorvall_sergal<\/a> Take them all in one go, build a car. And a garage for it. And the house to go with the garage. <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/sorvall_sergal\/statuses\/27746483194\">in reply to sorvall_sergal<\/a> <a class=\"ws_tweet_time\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/SciStarborne\/statuses\/27752045843\">17:53:31, 2010-10-18<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"ws_tweet\">XP can split mic input, but not webcams. Looks like it&#039;s SplitCam or Manycam for that job. SplitCam *sounds* less resource-hungry. <a class=\"ws_tweet_time\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/SciStarborne\/statuses\/27771799010\">22:41:52, 2010-10-18<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"ws_tweet\">Don&#039;t know if progs under Linux can share webcam sources or not, since cam not working on Ubuntu at all yet. <a class=\"ws_tweet_time\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/SciStarborne\/statuses\/27771856907\">22:42:40, 2010-10-18<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"ws_tweet\">Today has been epic failure. Nothing done at all, woke very late. Also another ulcer and top lip cracked and stinging. <a class=\"ws_tweet_time\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/SciStarborne\/statuses\/27771911221\">22:43:26, 2010-10-18<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"ws_tweet\">Okay, split webcam to Livestream &amp; motion-tracking script, run servo control to Arduino board. Should all be just setting the right I\/Os. <a class=\"ws_tweet_time\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/SciStarborne\/statuses\/27773719019\">23:08:21, 2010-10-18<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter Updates for 18-10-2010<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[3361],"class_list":["post-439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-twitter","tag-twitter"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sci-fi-fox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sci-fi-fox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sci-fi-fox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sci-fi-fox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sci-fi-fox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=439"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.sci-fi-fox.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sci-fi-fox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sci-fi-fox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sci-fi-fox.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
