| 03:05.52 | poolio | brlcad: they did, it was more expesnive |
| 03:05.58 | poolio | $80 for initial + tip |
| 03:06.02 | poolio | and they wouldnt let me open the tips |
| 03:06.08 | poolio | so I would have had to buy each tip and check them |
| 03:06.20 | poolio | actually no, for the 90W it was $95 for initial |
| 03:06.33 | poolio | it was more exepsnive than the targus |
| 03:06.40 | poolio | and the shack had the tip thing, but no tips even close to the right size |
| 03:06.43 | brlcad | ahhh |
| 03:06.49 | poolio | and the iGo things they had only outputted max like 6 something volts |
| 03:06.58 | brlcad | shame, it was only 60-something iirc when I last got one a couple years ago |

| 23:52.18 | IriX64 | are they reentrant |
| 23:52.39 | ``Erik | interrupts themselves are atomic |
| 23:52.54 | Twingy | PWM and RS-232 is a real-time process and must be serviced by interrupts |
| 23:52.56 | ``Erik | what happens at high levels, where re-entrant and 'events' live depends on the developer |
| 23:53.22 | Twingy | control is something that does not need to be real-time and can occur between interrupts |
| 23:53.49 | IriX64 | an event can occur numerous times per second, the interrupt handler must be able to handle this |
| 23:53.53 | dtidrow | time to head home.... |
| 23:53.54 | Twingy | hardware buffered UARTs are very critical in a real-time environment |
| 23:54.10 | ``Erik | on the x86, for example, when an unmasked interrupt occurs, the interrupt handler will generally call 'cli', set up the appropriate event propogation, and once that's completed (atomically), call sti to allow the next interrupt |
| 23:54.20 | ``Erik | which, of course, happens in a scale of microseconds, if not nanoseconds |
| 23:54.37 | Twingy | on the PIC chip an interrupt eats about 6 instructions |
| 23:55.06 | IriX64 | bear in mind i only type with two fingers here |
| 23:55.30 | ``Erik | very slowly |
| 23:55.42 | IriX64 | heh doubled up did you |
| 23:55.49 | IriX64 | ;) |
| 23:57.51 | IriX64 | have two here need a third |
| 23:58.07 | ``Erik | I have two premade sockets, one in my bedroom and one downstairs, so installation should be trivial |
| 23:58.20 | IriX64 | true most are anyway |
| 23:59.42 | IriX64 | http://rafb.net/p/0yqIws56.html <-- this isn't rocket science but i'm proud anyway :) |
