New version of I7 out.
01:38
<@Vornicus>
Arg! Need to get organized!
01:39 * Vornicus has source code for not less than five different projects with edits in the past three hours.
01:40
<@McMartin>
Also, http://www.stanford.edu/~mcmartin/if/WS/ updated.
01:44
<@Vornicus>
Wow, lots of changes.
01:44
<@McMartin>
Also, in actually unrelated news, new version of WS out.

heh
01:45
<@McMartin>
(Actually unrelated because it was built with a three-releases-ago version of Inform.
01:45
<@McMartin>
)
01:53 * Vornicus really needs to concentrate on /one damn thing/ and beat it until it's done.

<@gnolam>
Either the speed of sound has changed drastically from ~340 m/s, or I'm reading the echo return time wrong.

Or the distance isn't what you thought it was
16:32 * gnolam facepalms.
16:32
< Vornotron>
Sound changes speed in different media - it's an order of magnitude faster in rock.
16:33
<@gnolam>
Timing should be from the falling edge of the trigger input to the /falling/ edge of the echo output. Not the rising edge.
16:33
<@gnolam>
Vornotron: well, I wasn't planning on making the 'bot start phasing through solid rock anytime soon. ;)
16:34
<@gnolam>
Much nicer values now.

Generally, the sanity of any given error message is inversely proportional to how much stupidity is required to cause it.

"// Bring trigger input low and initiate sonic pulse."
17:50
< Vornicus>
Have you modified the phase variance?
17:50
< MyCatVerbs>
It's multithreading, Jim, but not as we know it?

It's discharged, Jim. There's nothing I can do.
17:50 * gnolam gets a sudden urge to fill in "EPS conduits" on an unused pin on his pin chart.

Heehee, polarity reversal. XD

I'll have to do something like that sometime. I'm sure my DigiTech teacher will be amused.
18:54
<@gnolam>
OF course, a /real/ Trek schematic would have a "Console Explosives" pin somewhere.

Polarity reversal
19:38

Is that just an inverter?
19:40
<@AnnoDomini>
Do it with "XOR REG,FFFFh;" to confuse the newbs. :P
19:41

I wouldn't know. Ask the Science Officer.

23:49 * AnAwesome hates operations BCD, especially if you cannot check a specific bit for a value without half a page of binary operations.
23:50
<@McMartin>
Heh
23:50
<@McMartin>
The only time BCD is an advantage is if your chip doesn't have divide.
23:50
<@AnAwesome>
Seriously. I'm trying to tackle this by giving each digit its own memory cell.
23:51
<@AnAwesome>
It's still a bastard.
23:51
<@AnAwesome>
And I apparently have to check whether the damned thing will give me a positive or a negative result after the subtraction.
23:52
<@McMartin>
Hmm. Are you using 2-s complement or Sign-Magnitude?
23:52
<@AnAwesome>
You can even use 2C with BCD?
23:53
<@McMartin>
Well, kind of sort of
23:53
<@AnAwesome>
Hell, I'm assuming you can't do squat. 'Cause I don't really know.
23:53
<@McMartin>
More like 10's complement.
23:53
<@McMartin>
Subtract one from a 1-byte BCD number by adding 99, etc.
23:55
<@AnAwesome>
Hm. Perhaps a different question. This would be a lot simpler if I could just use normal hexadecimal numbers. Is there a relatively noncomplex way to convert a four-digit BCD number stored in two 8-bit cells (two digits each) into a base 16 number, given only two 8-bit accumulators?
23:57
<@AnAwesome>
I also have two 16-bit registers. But I can't do arithmetic on them.
23:57
<@McMartin>
Not really. The x86 had a "correct for BCD after add" instruction that handled it.
23:58
<@McMartin>
The 65xx, you were totally out of luck
23:58
<@AnAwesome>
This is Motorola 6800.
23:59 * AnAwesome really hates this.
