chartreuseYou can also send the model to a 3d printing service if you have one near by or have it shipped02:04
chartreuseShould be fine doing the mod though02:04
chartreusekhm: I was looking at doing a marble or something, that should give me some keywords to search for similar stuff02:07
chartreuseWonder how smooth sodalite is02:07
chartreuseObsidian looks quite nice, but not finding one that's 25mm 02:17
chartreuseAnd ebay to the rescue XD, 25mm Natural Quartz Obsidian... (so which is it XD)02:18
chartreuseI think I'll stick with the Delrin ball, but a polished rock sphere sounds like an interesting option02:19

Lewis[m]with the current work on suspend and low power states on the reform, will that have any impact on battery life while in use? Or is that purely affecting the power draw while suspended?10:36
Lewis[m]Further power related question, has anyone got experience with solar charging? I'm wondering if there's a way to plug in a solar cell + a circuit to deal with it to power the reform from it.10:36

mntmnLewis[m]: not sure @ battery life while in use12:06
vkoskivSolar panel mod should be possible and would be fun, but I'm not in sunlight nearly enough for it to make sense :D12:18
vkoskivI usually prefer a dim room. And it's dark for half the year here anyway.12:18
Lewis[m]I think my current theory would be utilising a solar charger + the battery pack PCBs to build an external battery pack that can charge via solar, then plugging them in to the reform somehow.12:19

Lewis[m]unless I'm misunderstanding you mntmn, that'd mean full power down to swap cells each time? I'm imagining something like this, https://www.tindie.com/products/mmowen/solar-powered-battery-back-up-switching-regulator/, but able to push a higher current, and with a barrel jack to consume the output.13:29
mntmnLewis[m]: ah i see, that looks promising13:37
Lewis[m]of course, Berlin winter is coming, so testing it would be a challenge. :D (Also I'm waiting to order the Reform on non CS to support local businesses directly, so probably by the time my Reform is ready we'll be getting more daylight each day)13:38
vkoskivI can provide some extreme weather test feedbac14:33
vkoskivThough I'll probably skip the classic sauna test14:33

midfavilaany of you guys see the panel on the new PineNote thingie from Pine64?19:22
dopplerseems pretty great19:37
midfavilaYeah. The announcement video claims sixteen levels of grayscale with a 60hz refresh rate19:38
midfavilamy first thought when I saw it was "okay but can I put that in a Reform" lmao19:38
khmI bet they walk that back, since e-ink doesn't have a 'refresh rate' in that way19:38
Lewis[m]I only just read your message and that was my exact thought too19:39
midfavilayeah, probably, but if it's even half that as an effective refresh, still be nifty19:39

khmlooks like it can be fed with up to an 85hz refresh rate, but this has nothing to do with the actual refreshing of the display19:43
khmanyway I'm almost positive this is the same display, but without the touch and stylus layers: https://shopkits.eink.com/product/10-3%CB%9D-epaper-display-vb3300-kca/19:52
mntmnwasn't aware that eink have their own online shop nowadays20:10
mntmncurrently working on LPC sleep + wakeup by keyboard20:11
mntmnchartreuse: wip-lpc-powersave branch now has lpc+kbd fw updated so that the keyboard will try to auto-wake LPC if it sleeps (if user wants to interact)20:19
mntmnit's a bit brutal but couldn't find a better way to do it today20:19
mntmnit tries to spam the LPC via UART in a loop until it responds (or timeout is reached)20:19
mntmnLPC will reset a holdoff timer (currently 30 seconds) if it receives a command via UART during the short time where it wakes up from sleep20:20
mntmnah wait, there is still one last puzzle piece missing (don't enter sleep if the system is running)20:21
mntmnadded that now.20:25
+ illo (~illo@user/illo)20:35
mntmnwe should also add an auto-sleep for the keyboard, that sleeps if there is no user interaction for a few minutes and the system is powered off20:36
mntmnalso i determined that LPC is currently running at 48MHz which might be a bit overkill.20:40
vkoskivOh LPC = motherboard20:50
vkoskivI didn't figure out what it's short for yet :D20:50
Lewis[m]Low power controller?20:52
Lewis[m]Or low pin count?20:53
mntmngood question, i think NXP never officially said what LPC means20:53
mntmnboth could be true20:53
mntmndates back to Philips... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NXP_LPC20:54
mntmn> As part of this spin off, NXP acquired the older Philips LPC microcontroller families20:54
