Yo! I am here. (again)

Nice to see you here :)

The questions seem to be rather different this time.

Nice to see you, too.

The questions are different, and the commit rate seems more "natural." We may have a chance this time.

(At least, I think we have a pretty good opportunity to make this work.)

I've also played with my Arduino more, so I actually have questions now. (It's kinda hard to ask questions about something before doing anything with it.)

Thats good.

The one concern that I have is that again, we seem to be missing out on the non-technical artists/designer audience that was being considered one of the main audiences of this site.

That is true...

4:42 AM

Question for general response (but I don't want a permanent record like on meta): What is our policy for re-asking some really good questions from the prior beta that were migrated to EE.SE?

@anorton In general not recommended. Questions can be reasked if there are some (albeit minor) differences from the existing question on EE.

I thought that would be the case. :\ Some of the questions that ended up on EE would fit much better here than there. Oh well. ;)

I guess I won't ask that "other languages for arduino" question, then--that ended up on either EE or SO... I forget which one.

In any case, those questions are not the best example questions as there is no specific problem being solved. Those are more like wiki pages than actual questions, so even though they may generate a lot of activity, they do not help with the private to public graduation.

I am referring to both the IDE question as well as the languages one and other list type ones.

That is true. They would be more of a "soft-question/big-list," which are (in my experience) received somewhat grudgingly.

9 hours later…

2:16 PM

It's too quiet in here.

2:42 PM

@AsheeshR I'll see if I can focus on some questions in that area

3:08 PM

Hey all

@JVarhol Hey

Well, we are getting yet another chance to make Arduino SE a reality

Lets not blow it again by making it like EE

Uptill now, the site is very different from last time.

Questions are far more varied and seem more problem-oriented.

Activity is a little low however, for day one.

True, there are only 29 Questions so far

What should our target be

as far as Questions per day

Like 50?

~10-15 q/day

That number is more than fine at the moment.

The visits/day is low.

3:14 PM

isnt that because it is still in Private beta

@JVarhol area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/57719/…

Another niche SE site.

Yea, I have been to Area51 before

what exactly are you refering to

Ahh, Yes LOL I didnt see what the proposed site was lol

Dang it

I had a good question, and it just suddenly slipped my mind

0

Q: When and When Not to Use Arduino

What are some indications that you are outgrowing Arduino or that Arduino might be a poor choice for a given project? What are some common limitations that require you to move up to more capable devices/platforms?

capabilities limitations

Should be closed. Too general and far too subjective to be of any use.

@AsheeshR Quick question, If the Arduino site ends up being closed, does that mean that the reps you obtained on the site dont count

I completely Agree

@JVarhol Yes, however, last time we migrated content to other sites before the site was closed, saving some of the rep in a way. Although, things at the moment suggest that the site should survive :)

No point being pessimistic.

3:22 PM

kk

I just wondered

@JVarhol See edit above

I did

@AsheeshR before were the questions like 'How to use a relay with arduino' How to use a shift register in order to power several LEDs' and such?

@JVarhol The definition questions were all asked on the main site area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/49538?phase=definition

Other than that, you can download the data dump of the site and see it for yourself.

Although, there were some questions like that, IIRC.

lol

Seems like there are alot of members currently active on the site

Questions are being answered rather quickly

Se sites are usually most active in the EST/PST daytime/noon period.

3:36 PM

ah

So, the main activity spurt is yet to come :)

@AsheeshR Thx for the feedback on that question

3:52 PM

Since when did you get newsfeed in chat

that must be new

About how long does beta last

13 hours ago, by Stack Exchange

AsheeshR has made a change to the feeds posted into this room

???

ahhh

I see

@AsheeshR Ever google a question on SE and then copy and paste in an answer that gets a bunch of votes and is accepted lol

lots of people have, and people will notice

if you found the answer on Google, that's fine, but make sure you cite your source

4:08 PM

kk

So If I get the answer from another site it isnt frowned upon as long as I cite my sources

Question, Is this per week or per day

arduino.stackexchange.com/help/badges/78/reviewer

that is all-time

per lifetime

ahhhh

Makes sense

250 would be quite a feat in a week or even in a month

Yea

Thats what I was thinking

Unless there were alot of good reviews being posted and only one person to review them

4:32 PM

My least effort answer is at +4 while my max effort answer is at 0. I just hate it when that happens.

that happens to me all the time on Graphic Design

lol

really simple thing: loads of upvotes because people agree that's how they'd do it

complex clever thing I'm proud of: couple upvotes because it was tl;dr

Yeah. The voting pattern does make sense, but it provides the wrong feedback to new users in particular: Post crap and you get responsibilities and privileges. Write good long posts, and you can stay where you are.

Thats it for me, today. Good night!

Night!

4:44 PM

Night

@JohnB Sad thing about tl;dr is that people are not willing to read things anymore.

it's alright, I don't care about reputation. As long as someone benefits from it the I'm happy

True

Self satisfaction is better than focusing only on satisfying other people

A: Which tags need to be cleaned up?

Irrelevant tags electronics Should be deleted because it applies to just about every question that is asked.

agreed

I was looking at tags, and busted out laughing

Shouldnt serverino be server.ino

@JohnB WOW, Private Beta = A lot of work

5:02 PM

yeah, the first few days are interesting

LOL, You can put it that way.....

5:16 PM

@JohnB Yawns, well it is about 12:00 EST

I've got a couple questions in mind that I'll post once the day-one activity subsides

Lol

once the clock rolls over to day 2

@JohnB Have we migrated arduino-uno and uno

6:07 PM

OMG I just got +850 reps on the network by getting to 200 on Arduino SE

6:23 PM

hah, nice

This feels really good lol

user image

@JohnB When are mods chosen

after private beta

Thats odd

here arduino.stackexchange.com/users?tab=reputation it says I have 195 rep, but on my profile it says 301

JVarhol, The Mün

301 9

uno arduino-uno ethernet firmware http ide ipad

caching issues

it'll catch up

Lol

Same thing with the chat rep counter huh?

WTF, then if you click on all time at the users page, it says 301

this is all messed up XD

7:11 PM

for your enjoyment

Q: House fortification program

Yesterday I posted a questionbecause I had a problem with my program which has to be uploaded to online judge. However, the program is working perfect by the given information in the task, online judge is giving me Wrong answer. I also asked administrator who told me that there might be a problem...

Hey @anorton

7:22 PM

Hi. I should be doing homework, so pretend I'm not here. :)

@anorton No school for me, Too much snow :D

7:42 PM

Bye all

Bye.

1 hour later…

8:58 PM

There are two Arduino rooms now?

Arduino

General discussion for electronics.stackexchange.com/tags/arduino

Yes. One for this site, and one for the EE varient.
