[03:05:11] <jepler> if just one person in the universe understands lut5 of course it's pcw

[03:09:28] <jepler> WAT
[03:14:18] <skunkworks> jepler: didn't you write that?
[03:15:31] <jepler> skunkworks: well yes
[03:17:32] <skunkworks> heh
[03:18:07] <skunkworks> so I have not been following all the rtai conversations... was it figured that a certain isolcpus works the best?
[03:18:09] -!- likevinyl has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
[03:19:20] <jepler> skunkworks: yes, and maybe it even makes sense.
[03:19:38] -!- likevinyl has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[03:20:07] <jepler> skunkworks: certain AMD CPUs, ever since their technology code-name "bulldozer", share some resources between resource pairs.
[03:20:51] <jepler> skunkworks: so if your realtime code is running on #3, then the best results come with isolcpus=2,3 (the pairs are 0,1 and 2,3)
[03:21:19] <jepler> confusingly, if you just isolate one CPU, it's better to isolate the other one in the pair -- so isolcpus=2 was second best
[03:21:53] <jepler> other differences between linuxcnc latency-test and rtai kern/latency are explained by the fact that they each request different CPUs be used
[03:22:03] <jepler> in the end, I think it is all explained
[03:22:21] <jepler> er, "share some resources between CPU pairs"
[03:23:15] <jepler> goodnight

[16:07:06] <cradek> thanks for finding it
[16:07:20] <cradek> I see no sign of it handling index homing
[16:07:35] <jepler> there's no provision for adjusting racking
[16:08:01] <cradek> well I don't believe in that - move your switches (or ideally, index)
[16:08:22] <jepler> without "proper" gantry support, whatever exactly that is :-P everything's going to have different trade-offs
[16:09:20] <cradek> I bet this gantry.comp is a fine approach for steppers
[16:09:37] <cradek> ... on light machines (since it stops abruptly)
[16:10:25] <jepler> it bakes in assumptions about homing switch polarity, but that's NBD since everything has software inverts
[16:10:53] <cradek> well that's the same thing motion does
[16:10:58] <jepler> it doesn't support separate positive and negative limit switches
[16:11:08] <jepler> I thought homing had a choice of polarity
[16:11:32] <cradek> oh you mean travel directions?
[16:11:54] <jepler> maybe it's been too long since I set up homing
[16:12:13] <jepler> forget it
[16:12:16] <cradek> I don't understand how it mixes home and limit together
[16:12:27] <CaptHindsight> I finally have Wheezy installed from the hybrid ISO. The install defaults to using the software GPU driver and I just added isolcpus=2,3 to the kernel parameters
[16:13:16] <jepler> cradek: oh it's using a single switch for home & limit
[16:13:25] <jepler> you're home if all joints are home, and you're on limit if any joint is on limit
[16:13:42] <cradek> oh ok
[16:14:16] <jepler> joint.##.home might be more verbosely called .combined-home-and-limit
[16:19:26] <CaptHindsight> is there a way to disable jogging for an axis if another axis is withing a certain range?
[16:19:55] <jepler> CaptHindsight: nothing straightforward and not terrible
[16:20:06] <cradek> why do you want that?
[16:20:10] <jepler> heck, probably nothing that is not both convoluted and terrible

[16:23:18] <CaptHindsight> it's not for a machine tool, it for more general automation when trying to more idiot proof a system
[16:25:08] <CaptHindsight> it's easy enough with ladder and external logic if the jog buttons are pushbuttons on a panel
[16:30:07] <pcw_home> you need the "range" component :-)
[16:30:48] <pcw_home> or expand the comparator comp to a window comparator
[16:33:19] <cradek> near might be useful
[16:34:21] -!- amiri has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[16:37:28] <pcw_home> Yeah that makes a window comparator
[16:43:23] <pcw_home> I guess scale <1 disables the scale part

[17:02:43] <jepler> I really should look before I leap
[17:03:03] <cradek> what did you do?
[17:03:16] <jepler> I had eyeballed these two headers on the odroid that I need to connect to my level-shifting board
[17:03:56] <jepler> I know they're 2mm pitch, and so a nice round distance like 28mm sounds good
[17:04:11] <jepler> today I dug around long enough to get a mechanical drawing of the board, and the answer is: 28.125mm
[17:04:30] <cradek> that figures
[17:04:52] <jepler> (what I had "eyeballed" was a png image at about 7 dots per mm, so this is a 1-pixel error)
[17:05:06] <cradek> who lays out their board in 1/8 mms?
[17:05:27] <pcw_home> the pin will bend 5 mills :-)
[17:06:24] <jepler> anyway, lunchtime
[17:06:36] <pcw_home> shove the 2mm socket sideways when soldering
