@will_whang I mean you... you can do that, yeah... but...

@JamesMcPherson @cemaxecuter Surprisingly quite a capable interface, w.r.t what's implemented.

I hadn't appreciated how much of a jump the new Flipper HW is, a full on Rockchip platform in that form factor is kinda neat.

@Tom_Heal @imbktan fair points. and logo aside, perhaps I'm just splitting hairs on jpeg artifacts.

@aegrabs Can always check the job listings?

[Tom Fleet @tomfleet]

eyy, and we have a target. fantastic!

Bringing up a Nordic Semi nPM2100 based PMIC on a LoRa radio node - lovely to see the shipping mode functioning nicely.

Not even sipping 1mA in ship mode - and I can probably tweak a pullup/down or two to shave a few uA off that still!

@raulizahi @blind_via @Figure_robot Just going back to this...

For what I can make of the *possible* tasks within the fabrication, you're looking more at a reliable vision marker system and the ability to maybe take parts from a shelf, to a PnP feeder/ load it.

I could see that, I think.

@emnode @prof_g Would you be willing to share what you asked it in this instance?

@lukeweston That MIG looks like it's on its 2nd coat of paint, the control room seems to be somewhere in the middle of the two MIG colours?

@tapp_market @erotomanes Most of this is a render.

But you're not wrong.

Don't forget the diff fridge vessel around it.

@raulizahi @blind_via @Figure_robot I... I have yes.

And you think you are pretty confident you can price match the folk doing manual line assy?

Reckon you can match the folk over at Foxconn for $/hr?

[Tom Fleet @tomfleet]

@raulizahi @blind_via @willreil @Figure_robot Ok, so, you must know we have automation already for through hole PnP & solder, right?

I can understand walking a feeder of parts over to the machine, almost, but I can't see humanoids ever being as economical as our existing high-volume tooling.

@raulizahi @blind_via Human operations play a shockingly small percentage part of this industry though...

What actual job functions are you suggesting a humanoid would be suited to in this market?

[Tom Fleet @tomfleet]

@raulizahi @blind_via @willreil @Figure_robot So that's the total figure, with electricity and maintenance and such.

Any idea what the training time / cost would be for programming a humanoid to... place SMD parts?

This is what I understand you're suggesting?

[Tom Fleet @tomfleet]

@raulizahi @blind_via Alrighty... and what does it... do?

[Tom Fleet @tomfleet]

@raulizahi @blind_via @willreil @Figure_robot to rent?

[Tom Fleet @tomfleet]

@raulizahi @blind_via Ok, completely missing the actual point, but lets keep trying.

What's the compute expenditure on "running"?
