@chargeitall:matrix.orgchargeitallCan semiconductors from household appliances such as breast pumps, fridges, and washing machines be used for military purposes? Is this claim far-fetched?17:14:29
@purplelady:matrix.orgPurpleLadyI don't think most breast pumps would have semiconductors. I don't know too many refrigerators that would need semiconductors either. As for washing machines, maybe.17:22:30
@protocall7:matrix.orgprotocall7Guess it would depend on the semiconductor and the military purpose. Something generic like a logic gate could show up in just about anything. A microcontroller could be programmed to do anything as well. As far as whether or not consumer appliances would use "military spec" parts as far as temperature range, shock and vibration, etc... not sure, maybe?17:46:12
@chargeitall:matrix.orgchargeitallI was referring to removing chips from household devices, reprogramming them with new software, and using them for military purposes such as avionics, GPS, etc.20:12:53

@purplelady:matrix.orgPurpleLadyUnless the items have like FPGAs in them, the "reprogramming" part doesn't sound likely.00:12:21

@berlinuxer:kde.orgberlinuxer military specs expexts more robustness, of course. e.g. the temperature-range is wider than for industrial- or consumer-usage. i really doubt, that you will find a IC with mil-spec in household-devices 13:51:00

@waitforthe:matrix.orgwaitforthehi i got a question. here is a picture of my circuit, why is the motor still spining despite not triggered by the pir sensor output (3.3v). transistor is 2n2222. 3v motor 1.5A max draw. 12v power supply. 20:44:42
@waitforthe:matrix.orgwaitforthethe pir sensor actually ampliflies the rpms of the motor but the motor still contains a baseline rpm. i thought it should be zero power unless triggered by the transistor20:47:01
@waitforthe:matrix.orgwaitfortheif i remove the motor, it works fine with the led albeit larger resistor20:47:42

@mriconoclast:matrix.org@mriconoclast:matrix.orgyou are losing time here 16:13:28
@purplelady:matrix.orgPurpleLadyWe are still here. But yeah, there are not mods/admins.16:51:23
@purplelady:matrix.orgPurpleLadyI might want to start and alternative.16:51:36
