00:21 <d1b2> <Darius> how fast is "kinda fast"?

01:42 <monochroma> azonenberg: heh https://hackaday.com/2021/01/28/a-physical-front-panel-for-oscilloscope-software/

01:43 <azonenberg> Seen it

01:43 <azonenberg> darius: something reasonable to look at with a 500 MHz scope

01:43 <d1b2> <Darius> that is a nice idea

01:44 <d1b2> <Darius> I guess USB2 is good then, 480MHz

01:44 <d1b2> <Darius> PCIe? but hard to access

01:45 <azonenberg> pcie with a 500 MHz scope? not happening

01:46 <azonenberg> even gen1 is 2.5 Gbps

01:46 <d1b2> <Darius> oh hmm why was I thinkig 125MHz

01:46 <azonenberg> i can do it on my faster scopes, i use pcie gen2 (5 Gbps) on a raspberry pi4 as a common test subject

01:46 <azonenberg> for my differential probes etc

01:46 <azonenberg> No idea, the refclk is 100 MHz but it's multiplied up

01:47 <azonenberg> usb2 is probably a good one, i'll see what i can come up with

01:47 <d1b2> <Darius> at least it's nice and accessible 🙂

05:35 <d1b2> <j4cbo> 1000baseT?

05:41 <azonenberg> no, x

05:41 <azonenberg> T is a giant pain because it's bidir

09:42 <d1b2> <mubes> @monochroma I've got hold of a couple of midi controllers which have a shed load of knobs and buttons on them for exactly these kinds of applications (OK, they're designed for music, but you get the idea). Of course, it's on my job-stack and not been done yet. Examples; https://www.behringer.com/product.html?modelCode=P0B3M and https://www.gear4music.com/Audio_Hardware/MIDI_Control_Surfaces.html ...just ignore the ones with actual keyboards and you've

09:42 <d1b2> got some really flexible control surfaces. Might need a bit of re-logo'ing but I don't think that's difficult in the whole scheme of things.

14:26 <azonenberg> A# = insert I2C protocol decode

14:27 <azonenberg> (octave selects channel)

14:27 <azonenberg> middle C = arm trigger

14:27 <azonenberg> lol

16:01 <d1b2> <Hardkrash> I’m screwed, I’ve never can remember middle c...

16:20 <azonenberg> In all seriousness i have a gaming mouse set up a as a very nice glscopeclient control interface

16:20 <azonenberg> main thumb button: single shot trigger

16:20 <azonenberg> upper/lower thumb buttons: arm normal / stop

16:21 <azonenberg> then the usual mouse buttons - left to select/drag, wheel to zoom/pan, right for context menu

16:21 <azonenberg> i can do most stuff with only that hand

17:18 <d1b2> <mubes> Im sorry, I can't use this scope, I'm tone deaf

19:50 <d1b2> <Tom> Gaming mice are amazing for engineering work

19:51 <d1b2> <Tom> I have a 12-button MMORPG mouse for CAD work.

19:51 <d1b2> <Tom> Game changer

19:54 <azonenberg> The big game changer was turning off the stupid rainbow color changing LEDs

19:54 <azonenberg> which took while to figure out how to do under linux :p

22:51 <d1b2> <david.lenfesty> huh so there's no way to check if the byte you're receiving is the start of a transfer for the F103 SPI

22:51 <d1b2> <david.lenfesty> feels like that would be a nice thing to have

22:51 <d1b2> <david.lenfesty> (currently working on the SPI register interface for the host fw)

23:27 <azonenberg> Interesting

23:27 <azonenberg> i've never used a stm32 spi in slave mode

23:27 <azonenberg> it's always been the host side talking to either some sensor or an fpga
