00:16 <pie_> how would something like this fare lol https://dberard.com/home-built-stm/

00:18 <pie_> oh shit i didnt remember the images being this good! https://dberard.com/2015/11/08/coarse-approach/

00:33 <Noxz> found my digikey order that was lost that I reordered yesterday... slipped behind the mailbox fence next to my recycling bin

00:33 <pie_> lol

00:34 <Noxz> $10 order, nothing major, but it was 'lost' for like 2 weeks

00:34 <Noxz> I did snail mail so I figured it was just slow getting to me

00:34 <Noxz> after a few eeks I got worried

00:34 <Noxz> this is for my espresso machine ;)

00:35 <pie_> ohno :O 2 weeks without espresso?

00:35 <Noxz> I have a hack

00:36 <Noxz> .. a light switch rigged to it

00:36 <Noxz> for the pump

00:36 <pie_> haha

00:41 <sync_> gold is pretty forgiving for imaging pie_

00:41 <sync_> semiconductor shits is significantly harder

00:45 <sync_> http://sync-hv.de/projects/BA/147-24.png this is 50/50 SiGe on Si(111) and one of the best images I could get after a few hours of messing with the afm

01:01 <SpeedEvil> :)

07:13 <Noxz> i blew the ass out of a zener

07:13 <Noxz> fak

07:23 <nmz787> so now you really have no espresso?

07:25 <Noxz> hah, I had it installed, and it seemed to work.. then nce I put the cover and junk all back together it did not seem to work anymore... and while fidling with it, stupid me had it plugged in, and some wires cross

07:25 <Noxz> shorted out the FET

07:25 <Noxz> and killed the zener that turns the thing on

07:26 <Noxz> looking up diode and such assortments on amazon right now

07:26 <Noxz> weird I dont have kits :/

07:29 <nmz787> andddd that's why a few weekends ago, after hours of research on machines, I bought an aeropress for coffee... totally dumb and manual, but coupled with a double-wall vacuum boiler, I am making coffee/shots faster than before with a single-shot espresso machine

07:30 <Noxz> ;)

07:30 <Noxz> I'm going to be making my portafilter bottomless/naked shortly

09:32 <pie_> sync_, oh.

09:33 <pie_> shit though thats 2 um

22:15 <Noxz> alright, zener diode came in, got the machine 'working' again...

22:15 <Noxz> pump runs continuously, which the circuit I made was suppose to not make it do that, I wonder if something else fried when the fet fried.. good thing I got my backup order in today!

22:15 <Noxz> I dont want to make the circuit again though, fml

22:20 <pie_> lol

22:24 <Noxz> I have the components to try again, at least the machine gets power now

22:24 <Noxz> and stuck in a 5W zener over the 3W.. ahtlugh 1w would have worked

22:44 <Noxz> fuckit, rebuilding it because likely faster than trying to pull off a dead transistor

23:41 <Noxz> k.. version two installed

23:41 <Noxz> plugged in, and no running motor (seemingly working)

23:41 <Noxz> I have not turned on the power yet, but the motor used to run when plugged in

23:41 <Noxz> and yeah, the npn that was using the amped signal pushing ~16v into the FET died on the other board

23:42 <Noxz> the new version was done MUCH better ;)

23:42 <Noxz> going to just let it sit there for a moment, and if I hear the motor start to turn on, then I know something else is triggering a failure

23:43 <Noxz> I took a pic of the new version compared to the old one but it is no longer in my phone for some odd reason
