Re: General discussion chat It's also how friendships start too. Pecking at someone won't do much. Remember, I AM a bird.
Re: General discussion chat I should go to more of my High School's football games. We are one of the top teams in the State and my friend is QB of the varsity team. The few I've been to were amazing, I just never seem to have time to go to them. Here was the last game on Friday. We beat them 45-7 (or something like that). (We are the blue team)
Re: General discussion chat The best football game is one I went to when I was in 7th grade. Bearden beat it's long time rival for the first time in like 26 years in 3rd overtime. They were at home, too. Everyone stormed the field. That's how awesome it was. Since then, we've just gotten worse and worse, and now we just suck. The games are still fun though.
Re: General discussion chat And, no matter what, football games are 10x more fun at night. Ours go about a quarter in dusk, then the rest is at night.
Re: General discussion chat The best time I've had at a football game was when I went to the Colts vs Jaguars game at Lucas Oil Stadium a couple years back. I got to sit 9 rows back from the sideline. Perfect view. Unfortunately we lost that game.
Re: General discussion chat Walking into work right now, Guess what I see...loaded roadtrains on after the other, There was about 50 of em' Today is gunna be a fun day... :/ - - - Updated - - - I was in the warehouse at work when I stumbled agenst a box of rare bits and pieces, Yep a box of Holden parts, The parts were worth 10 grand altogether I would like to know where the car is - - - Updated - - - Just work!!!

Re: General discussion chat Hey i remember your oldest avatar, and I think I can recreate it.... gib sec pls nau gib me muni or i killz u
Re: General discussion chat Got a microcontroller reading an RC receiver \o/ Now to actually do something with that data... Oh, code (done the bad way): Code: int CH1_PIN = PD_1; unsigned long CH1; int CH2_PIN = PD_0; unsigned long CH2; void setup() { // put your setup code here, to run once: Serial.begin(115200); pinMode(CH1_PIN, INPUT); pinMode(CH2_PIN, INPUT); Serial.println("BEGIN"); } void loop() { // put your main code here, to run repeatedly: CH1 = pulseIn(CH1_PIN, HIGH); CH2 = pulseIn(CH2_PIN, HIGH); Serial.print("\x1b[2J"); Serial.print("CH1: ");Serial.println(CH1); Serial.print("CH2: ");Serial.println(CH2); delay(50); } \x1b[2J to any proper serial terminal emulator (aka not the one included in the arduino IDE, putty is great as is teraterm) is the clearscreen command. That way I am kinda printing text in the same place repeatedly (which because I don't bother resetting the cursor position will be the last 2 lines of the terminal) rather than having a big scrolling list of previous states on screen. pulseIn on an actual AVR based arduino can interfere with some libraries due to it using one of the internal timers of which you only get 3 on the stock AtMega328 used in the arduino uno, its also the same timer the Servo library uses so you can't actually control a servo at the same time as using pulseIn (there are workarounds). I am using a stellaris launchpad instead which has timers galore and I think the servo library port for the stellaris is on a different timer, I think it also uses a different timer on the arduino mega so hopefully on these 2 boards it won't be problematic but if it is I don't mind trying a workaround for either retrieving the input from the receiver or outputting another servo signal. The stellaris is also the reason for the otherwise weird arduino pin numbers.
Re: General discussion chat I just have a habit of thanking posts I agree with. Like my thanks button goes away everyday it seems. I thank people too much. I guess I'm just a thankful guy.
Re: General discussion chat Yeah, i can remember talking about it on the forums a while back. But dj hero could be fun... Provided it is a wheel on side controller as opposed too a twin stick controller.
Re: General discussion chat yeah its a wheel rather than stick, only 2 channel transmitter though (receiver is 3 channels).
Re: General discussion chat wow, i just found an old palmone zire 31, couldn't find the original cables anywhere, however the screen did light up when i plugged it in using an old micro-usb cable i have (the old version, not the version found most often on cell phones and such) so i'm just going to assume it is charging, and let it sit for a while
Re: General discussion chat Hrmm weird I looked at it at google images It kinda looks like A mobile phone and an Ipod Mashed together
