| khm | mntmn: is there a wiki or something for reform? I'm trying to track down how to calibrate the battery gauge, and it would be nice to document stuff like that somewhere | 01:58 |
|---|---|---|
| technomancy | wikis are for products whose official docs don't accept contributions. | 02:01 |
| technomancy | (not really) | 02:01 |
| khm | I'm really looking for some place to stash lore until it is verified enough to be worth documenting, if that makes sense | 02:02 |
| technomancy | pull requests to the docs? | 02:06 |
| - ggoes (QUIT: Quit: ZNC 1.7.2+deb3 - https://znc.in) (~gregf@fsf/staff/ggoes) | 02:26 | |
| khm | I don't want the information to necessarily be nailed to a javascript-heavy git ui | 02:27 |
| technomancy | ACTION sighs deeply | 02:28 |
| technomancy | yeah fair =( | 02:29 |
| technomancy | ACTION loads up a random gitlab URL from his browser history and counts the seconds until it's completely loaded ... twelve | 02:29 |
| khm | I don't think pull requests are particularly discoverable anyway. Some of this class of information might sit unused for months or years, then be rediscovered when needed | 02:30 |
| technomancy | can't really expect everyone to have notifications for the repo on and receive PR notifications over email | 02:30 |
| khm | I want Tier 2 documentation :) | 02:30 |
| khm | besides which, I don't have an approved account on source.mnt.re | 02:31 |
| chartreuse | I don't think it's used but GitLab does have the wiki feature, though that'd require the accounts on there. | 02:51 |
| chartreuse | I do also think that maybe something better for community documentation could be done besides the forum | 02:51 |
| chartreuse | Though not sure really what. Yeah the forum is editable but not the most organized thing | 02:52 |
| khm | I keep 'losing' stuff in the forum. | 03:32 |

| doppler | yeah, something like that would def be useful | 03:49 |
| doppler | I could dump battery recovery info there, too, for example | 03:49 |
| ndufresne | mntmn: we sent v5 of vp9 support, with imx8m support, do you know if someone here would be interested in testing and giving some tested-by feedback? We are looking if there is any real life stream that do not decode well | 03:52 |
| chartreuse | vp9 the video codec? | 04:46 |

| mntmn | scops: ping | 09:49 |
| scops | yes? | 09:50 |
| mntmn | scops: just thought you might also be interested in trying out ndufresne's vp9 support | 09:52 |
| scops | hm yes... i just dont have some time this week. maybe next week :/ | 09:53 |
| mntmn | khm: tier 2 docs are of course welcome, i'm just unsure how to run something like a wiki on our own site and moderate it due to the harsh legal situation around UGC in germany | 09:53 |
| mntmn | khm: i.e. i would be responsible for any spam or "illegal" content appearing on it | 09:54 |
| mntmn | khm: that's also why source and community have moderated signup | 09:54 |
| mntmn | khm: if you're willing to host a wiki-like that would be nice of course. or md files in a sr.ht repo or something. we could also mirror that later | 09:56 |
| mntmn | khm: as an example for tier 2 docs for another of our products: http://www.gregdonner.org/zz9000/zz9000compendium.html | 09:57 |

| mntmn | chartreuse: ooc, what kind of glue did you use for the bearings? | 12:09 |
| vkoskiv | Meanwhile I'm wondering if it's weird if I start printing parts for a laptop that will arrive december/january :D | 12:10 |
| vkoskiv | I would assume that normal cyanoacrylate glues would work nicely for that application. | 12:15 |

| khm | doppler: let's go I guess http://sciops.net/information/technology/reform_school/ | 19:13 |
| doppler | I'll follow up | 19:17 |
| mntmn | nice! | 19:32 |
| khm | doppler: mntmn: if you have a sr.ht account send me the username and I'll give you commit bits | 20:02 |
| vkoskiv | Curious, is the estimated ship time just a rough estimate from CS or does that info come from MNT? | 20:03 |
| mntmn | vkoskiv: a mix of both | 20:05 |
| mntmn | we are closing in on shipping the first 25 units to mouser | 20:05 |
| vkoskiv | Will be fun to see more people get theirs and share thoughts | 20:06 |
| vkoskiv | Because I've been reading and watching just about all coverage there is. | 20:06 |
| robin | converting the barrel jack to usb-c is apparently also pretty easy. https://www.xyte.ch/ (iirc) had it as a modding option but recommended keeping the barrel jack since it's more robust | 20:09 |
| robin | (though a regular thinkpad charger is a lot larger than a small usb-c laptop charger...) | 20:10 |
| robin | i wonder how difficult of a mod it would be to have both | 20:10 |
| technomancy | I would love to mod my reform to work with the old style big barrel thinkpad ones | 20:17 |
| technomancy | I've got like nine of them laying around the house | 20:17 |
| khm | I bet if you contacted a cable vendor on aliexpress we could do a run of thinkpad -> reform cable adapters | 20:22 |
| chartreuse | mntmn: I just used superglue (cyanoacrylate) I put a tiny amount into the holes then dropped the bearing in | 20:22 |
| chartreuse | You can get replacement thinkpad barrel jacks off ebay, in the Thinkpads they connect with a short cable internally. If you could somehow mount it you could wire it in | 20:26 |
| mntmn | chartreuse: ok, we made a first experiment with your model today and awaiting the correct chrome bearings tomorrow | 20:27 |
| mntmn | i think it's very promising | 20:28 |
| chartreuse | Glad to hear! I've been very much enjoying it | 20:28 |
| chartreuse | Lots of parameters to tweak if it's not quite right with your printer or bearings and such | 20:28 |
| chartreuse | Sorry if the code isn't the most clean | 20:29 |
| vkoskiv | What's the diameter of the ball? I couldn't find that in the materials yet | 20:33 |
| chartreuse | 25mm It's listed in the BoM file | 20:34 |
| vkoskiv | derp. reform2-other-parts.csv | 20:35 |
| chartreuse | Took me forever to find where it was listed as well XD | 20:35 |
| vkoskiv | Right there in the middle :D | 20:35 |

| + rasmus (~rasmus@c80-217-132-63.bredband.tele2.se) | 20:36 | |
| vkoskiv | Ball seems to be 30mm in my PowerBook 150 | 20:36 |
| khm | https://shop.sciencefirst.com/accessories/2457-ball-steel-25-mm.html so cheap I might just do it | 20:39 |
| vkoskiv | Someone mentioned before that the sensor might have a hard time tracking a reflective sphere surface | 20:40 |
| chartreuse | They got it working in the forum just fine | 20:40 |
| vkoskiv | Ah | 20:40 |
| chartreuse | Sounds like the issue was some dirt or something they missed on the sensor | 20:40 |
| khm | I don't have a 3d printer, so my plan is to recreate the forum post where the person just drilled where the studs are and glued in bearings | 20:53 |
| khm | hope it works | 20:53 |
| mntmn | khm: if not, you can print out chartreuse/our final model later | 20:59 |
| khm | https://www.etsy.com/listing/908123875/ so many options | 21:03 |
| doppler | I need some of that healing energy in my mousing | 21:07 |
