[14:05:34] jya: from 60ms to 1.4s
[14:05:46] jya: maybe I should increase the limit from 1.5s to 2s
[14:07:08] jya: i mean sometimes it can switch after reading just 260kB of data, in some cases it needs over 1.3MB
[14:07:25] jya: 1.8MB is the most

Surely 'HasRunningOrPendingJobs' should return false if the host is not allowed to run jobs. If it doesn't already, I'd have said the check that's been added in the patch should be in HasRunningOrPendingJobs.
[16:48:55] peper03: Unless there's some implementation detail I'm missing.

[17:00:44] peper03: stuartm: I've not worked with an Arduino but I've done plenty with PICs and my life over the last few months has been filled to the brim and more with writing code for a Renesas microcontroller (and trying to teach GCC not to generate rubbish). In my experience, you rarely *need* an IDE but I find it helps my workflow hugely if I can compile the project and program it with a single click or key combination.
[17:02:07] natanojl (natanojl!~jonatan@mythtv/developer/natanojl) has joined #mythtv
[17:03:11] peper03: Having the ability to single-step is luxury if you have it. I've spent many hours/days toggling a pin and counting edges to work out how far the code is getting or which branch it's taking before it locks up and wished I could debug directly :(
[17:18:03] stuartm: I'll see how it goes without the IDE at first, after all that's more or less the same process I'm familiar with for 'normal' programming work, and since I'm only sticking my toe in the water with electronics it may be a while before I'm developing anything complex
[17:20:18] stuartm: still struggling to come up with a practical (and cost effective) use for home brew electronics, but I'm curious enough to just play for now until inspiration comes

[17:31:59] peper03: Heh, I think much of the time, it's not cost effective. Particularly when you start wanting to move past whatever LEDs or whatnot are on the board. Normal components like resistors, transistors, LEDs etc. are not very expensive but you usually find that whatever part you need, you don't have and buying them in ones and twos usually costs a fortune in postage so you buy more of them or of other things to make it worth it. Then you start to
[17:32:01] peper03: have a collection of parts but you still never have all the parts you need and so it begins again :)

[18:10:59] jheizer: Arduino ideas I wanted to do at some point you may find interesting or not. Networked home thermostat and garage door sensors/remote control. I ended up getting z-wave stuff though as peper03 said, some times you just never find the time.
[18:16:41] fetzerch (fetzerch!~quassel@unaffiliated/fetzerch) has quit (Quit: No Ping reply in 180 seconds.)
[18:17:04] stuartm: had a couple of ideas, but the first an alarm system while it would have been cool, just didn't make much sense when I could get a more aesthetically pleasing one off the shelf for a fraction of the cost
[18:18:34] peper03: A colleague wanted to make a data logger for his electricity meter (based on using an (IR-)LED and detector to determine when the black stripe on the meter went past). Another friend fancied making an ultrasonic sensor to measure the heating oil level in his tank so he could graph how much they were using and be alerted if it suddenly got low.
[18:18:37] stuartm: the second may or may not happen, and that's wireless controlled lighting in the garden, but similarly I found off the shelf systems that are cheaper
[18:19:37] peper03: Neither actually got done due to time constraints/other shiny things appearing on the scene :)
[18:20:30] stuartm: peper03: yeah, had a new meter fitted last year that has a flashing LED instead of dials which is nice and easy to monitor, but I'm not sure how interesting watching my electricity usage would really be :)
[18:21:08] peper03: Possibly more frightening than interesting if it's anything like mine!
[18:21:37] jheizer: The real reason I own one was to interface temp sensors and steering wheel controls for my carpc.
[18:21:50] stuartm: I did it two or three years back as part of a cost saving drive, so I know what uses the electricity and when, but ultimately the 'savings' were minimal since I still need to cook food, wash clothes etc
[18:21:53] jheizer: though even that is only 1/2 complete from 3 years ago.
[18:22:04] dekarl: to control the wheel from the pc or the pc from the wheel? ;)
[18:22:19] jheizer: PC from the existing radio controls
[18:22:24] jheizer: lol
[18:23:27] stuartm: actually, did have a thought about fixing my broken IR based central locking with an RF radio instead – unlocking the car (or checking it's locked) from the mobile etc
[18:24:08] stuartm: a lot cheaper than getting a replacement remote from the dealer :)
[18:24:35] jheizer: Crazy that there is even stuff for that now a days. I can get an internet accessible door locking/remote start module.
[18:24:45] jheizer: And a nice little phone app.
