2017-01-23 14:51:14 UTC  

anyway "arduino or its clone" is the normal answer

2017-01-23 14:51:18 UTC  

is it in a lattice array? wudnt u just get any micro-controller and stick it on a bread board?

2017-01-23 14:51:26 UTC  

for long strips you want to think something else

2017-01-23 14:52:00 UTC  

are the strips in series or parallel?

2017-01-23 14:52:15 UTC  

Sorry, needed to afk for a sec'.

2017-01-23 14:52:27 UTC

2017-01-23 14:59:38 UTC  

China Post tracking freezes once it gets to the UK

2017-01-23 15:00:04 UTC  

I have a China Post Ordinary Small Plus package on the same status since the 4th

2017-01-23 15:00:06 UTC  

still not here

2017-01-23 15:00:25 UTC  

I think it's real hit or miss whether I get it in a week or a month with that shipping method

2017-01-23 15:00:57 UTC  

Thank you chinks

2017-01-23 15:01:07 UTC  

I have like 3 orders stuck at the same thing

2017-01-23 15:01:21 UTC  

Same

2017-01-23 15:01:21 UTC  

Is it just sitting in a customs warehouse or something

2017-01-23 15:01:44 UTC  

might be because of the new year idk

2017-01-23 15:02:18 UTC  

my packages that haven't been shipped by air yet have all been stuck at the warehouse for a few days

2017-01-23 15:03:11 UTC  

There's no way of telling tbh

2017-01-23 15:03:39 UTC  

They started to move today

2017-01-23 15:12:06 UTC  

Shiwi has left!

2017-01-23 15:21:46 UTC  

That moment when white people stores are less reasonable than chink with returns

2017-01-23 15:22:13 UTC  

wants me to pay shipping because their cable doesn't meet the spec and won't even fit properly

2017-01-23 15:31:04 UTC  

I do not know of any @Joldberg , I'm truly sorry.

2017-01-23 15:38:58 UTC  

@Austin the greatest in history, but not in my heart

2017-01-23 15:40:45 UTC  

anyone bought power supplies/oscilloscopes from china? I'm afraid to design one.

2017-01-23 15:43:14 UTC  

hey, does anyone know a good word or source for small electrical button pressers? I saw this random way overpriced thing https://prota.info/ and without the pricetag and without the bluetooth it actually looks kind of useful to automate a bunch of stuff

2017-01-23 16:01:57 UTC  

seems decently priced

2017-01-23 16:02:07 UTC  

tho very hard way to do it

2017-01-23 16:02:25 UTC  

why not just take the cables from button and make connection that way

2017-01-23 16:03:52 UTC  

Wait.

2017-01-23 16:04:03 UTC  

This is an automated servo

2017-01-23 16:04:06 UTC  

That pushes buttons for you

2017-01-23 16:04:19 UTC  

Wtf are you automating this way
