[13:58:23] <skunkworks> what system?
[13:59:25] -!- sirdancealot has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
[14:05:35] <pcw_home> J1800 as always nothing changed except pulling master (AFAIK)
[14:05:46] <pcw_home> Ubuntu 14.04
[14:06:13] <jepler> with git you can return to a specific old version of the code
[14:06:27] <pcw_home> I will have to try that
[14:07:03] <jepler> there are lots of different ways to do it. the simplest may be to use "gitk" to graphically view the history, and choose "reset master branch to here"
[14:07:10] <jepler> to go back to the present, you would "git pull"
[14:07:41] <jepler> warning: if you have modified any files, this will throw away your modifications
[14:08:05] <pcw_home> no mods that have not already been tossed
[14:08:12] -!- shurshur_ has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[14:08:55] <jepler> you might want to use this commandline so it doesn't show you commits from the 2.6 branch (if you checkout 2.6, hm2_eth will of course not be there) gitk origin/2.6..origin/master
[14:08:56] <pcw_home> same troubles on AMD A4-5000 MB so I dont think its hardware related
[14:09:07] <skunkworks> this is the 2 nic version of that motherboard. (plus it has pci to run the 5i25 also ;) )
[14:09:17] <skunkworks> j1900?
[14:09:58] <pcw_home> well this is the MB that ran hm2_eth for 120 days most at 2 KHz
[14:10:15] <pcw_home> J1900 is the quad core
[14:11:33] <jepler> once you find a "good" version, I can walk you through using "git bisect" to find the specific commit that introduced the regression
[14:11:46] <jepler> git bisect is pretty cool
[14:11:54] <pcw_home> I may well have busted something else so I need to experiment some more
[14:11:56] <pcw_home> (I wish I could get wheezy to boot on something)

[14:40:41] <pcw_home> OK so unless its specifically related to DPLL access or something else you are not doing but I am,
[14:40:42] <pcw_home> its likely some OS or networking problem that I have somehow generated

[15:13:10] <pcw_home> Despite misgivings about Biostar, the A68N-5000 worked first time without any
[15:13:12] <pcw_home> fighting with the BIOs and seems to have better latency with Preemt-RT than the J1800
[15:13:13] <pcw_home> seem about as fast as the J1800 though a bit hotter
[15:15:42] <skunkworks> I have had good and bad luck with biostar
[15:16:49] <pcw_home> Yeah, I just swapped the drive from the J1800 and it just worked (had to turn off power management of course)
[15:17:11] -!- phantoxe has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
[15:17:26] <pcw_home> Video seems to have less effect on latency vs the J1800

[17:06:28] <skunkworks> seb_kuzminsky, my gearshift16 is pretty specific to my machine and was only posted as a reference.
[17:07:50] <skunkworks> it probably could have been done with classic ladder and hal but I could only wrap my head around it programically..
[17:08:12] -!- copec has quit [Quit: checkity check out.]
[17:09:29] <skunkworks> gear change is pretty machine specifice so I don't know how someone would think that it should be generic..
[17:09:59] -!- copec has quit [Excess Flood]
[17:10:10] <skunkworks> similar to tool change.. Should there be a 'tool change' componant?
[17:10:15] <skunkworks> I think not..
[17:18:17] <seb_kuzminsky> skunkworks: i partially agree with you
[17:18:37] <seb_kuzminsky> i think there are several things people mean when they talk about gearchangers
[17:19:10] <seb_kuzminsky> some of them are probably so wonky and machine-specific that trying to generalize them is futile
[17:19:46] <seb_kuzminsky> but some of them can probably be made better in linuxcnc
[17:22:42] <seb_kuzminsky> skunkworks: your gearchange16 component takes "commanded spindle speed in", selects a gear for accomplishing that speed, and switches the machine to that gear, right?
[17:22:43] -!- piccata has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[17:23:06] <skunkworks> yes
[17:24:30] <skunkworks> it also does spindle lock because the spindle has to be in a certain gear for that to work.
[17:25:02] <skunkworks> and things like - if you adjust the spindle override - don't shift gears..
[17:27:09] <seb_kuzminsky> yeah, so some of that is certainly machine-specific (driving the gearchange rails)
[17:27:34] <seb_kuzminsky> but some of it might be generally useful (given a desired spindle speed and information about the gearbox, choose which gear the machine should be in)
[17:28:14] <seb_kuzminsky> then you can imagine a generic gearchange interface, like our generic toolchange interface (with 'tool-prep', 'tool-prepared', 'tool-change', and 'tool-changed')
[17:28:32] <skunkworks> sure
[17:29:20] <seb_kuzminsky> but i dont know if that's what everyone's excited about on the mailing list
[17:29:32] <seb_kuzminsky> i guess i should mail them instead of chat here...
[17:31:21] <skunkworks> heh
[17:39:18] <seb_kuzminsky> i'm looking at the gearchange.9 we currently have
[17:40:07] <seb_kuzminsky> you tell it about the gearbox and which gear is selected, and you give it 'speed in', and it gives you 'speed out'
[17:40:42] <seb_kuzminsky> is this for if you have an encoder on the motor shaft but not the spindle, and you want to convert spindle motor speed to spindle speed?
[17:41:03] <seb_kuzminsky> that's the inverse (in a sense) of what skunkworks's comp does
[17:41:25] <skunkworks> You made sense of mine? I can't even make sense of it...

[17:52:31] <Connor> Ugg.. so.. does anyone have any documented USE of this component ?
[17:52:35] <skunkworks> Connor, have you searched the forum? I seem to remember someone using it..
[17:52:57] <skunkworks> or atleast some examples of spindle orient
[17:53:14] <Connor> skunkworks: Not yet.. I looked in the wiki, and online search only to find my own question I sent out a few months ago on the users list.
[17:53:51] -!- patrickarlt has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[17:54:40] <seb_kuzminsky> Connor: looks like he didn't write any docs beyond what's in the orient.9 manpage, and no sample configs
[17:54:55] <Connor> seb_kuzminsky: Yup.. and thusly my problem. :)
[17:55:03] <Connor> and the simulator config sucks.
[17:55:39] <seb_kuzminsky> we do have a sample config called sim/axis/spindle_orient/orient.ini, which claims to show spindle orient capability, but it does not use the orient component....

[18:13:42] <cradek> not that I see anything useful
[18:13:49] <Connor> Yea. nothing useful.
[18:14:21] <cradek> um, what's your question?
[18:14:57] <cradek> I mean, how far are you? what's the exact problem?
[18:14:59] <Connor> Looking for a working example.
[18:15:24] <Connor> What exactly is needed to get it working.
[18:15:36] <cradek> so you haven't started or tried anything?
[18:15:52] <Connor> I played around with it on my personal machine a while back and never was able to get it to work.
[18:16:00] <Connor> I don't remember the specifics..
[18:16:21] <cradek> I suggest you try to get it working, and then if you get stuck you'll have more specific questions
[18:16:31] <cradek> the motion manpage says what the output signals are
[18:17:17] <cradek> the orient manpage might help
[18:17:22] <cradek> looking at orient's source might help
[18:18:45] <Connor> cradek: At issue is.. I don't even know where to start.. and if this was being used for my personal machine.. I could tinker for hours on end.. but.. This is for Pete, and I have to drive 35 minutes to his house to help.. and sit in his shop to try to figure this out.. I was just hoping to find a working config to see how to get started with it.
[18:20:51] <cradek> is this for a toolchanger that needs to orient the drive dogs but doesn't have a mechanical orient pin?
[18:21:01] -!- syyl_ws has quit [Quit: Verlassend]
[18:21:08] -!- jasen has quit [Quit: Page closed]
[18:21:23] <Connor> cradek: Correct
[18:21:31] <cradek> yuck, I hate those
[18:23:38] <pcw_home> It seems relatively straight forward, but does expect a PID loop controlling spindle position
[18:23:39] <pcw_home> dont know how tricky it is to drive Petes Modbus VFD with a velocity command from a PID component
[18:24:29] <cradek> vfds can't really hold position, so these systems always seem shaky to me
[18:24:47] <cradek> a pin or a heart shaped or ramped cam seems so much better
[18:25:17] <pcw_home> how accurate does it need to be?
[18:25:28] <cradek> depends how sloppy the drive dogs are
[18:25:37] <cradek> ought to hold within a few degrees probably
[18:26:04] <skunkworks> some vfd's have an orient option...
[18:26:12] -!- syyl_ws- has quit [Quit: Verlassend]
[18:26:12] <cradek> or you could just take them off, heh
[18:26:36] <cradek> skunkworks: I've seen jog (move slow, maybe with reduced torque), but not orient. how could they possibly know how to orient?
[18:27:13] <archivist> absolute encoder or index pules
[18:27:37] <cradek> assuming no belt between the motor and spindle
[18:28:11] <cradek> I'd think any vfd feedback is normally on the motor, not the spindle
[18:28:35] <cradek> maybe some are direct (none of mine are)
[18:29:12] <pcw_home> this has an encoder on the motor that belt drives the spindle (spindle is 1/2 motor speed)
[18:29:34] <archivist> iirc his is 2-1 so would be 180 degs at the spindle, that should be ok anyway
[18:29:35] <pcw_home> (toothed belt)
[18:30:28] <cradek> are the dogs the same size?
[18:30:49] <cradek> if you have two possible orientations you don't have any benefit for boring tools etc
[18:30:52] <Connor> I think his VFD might have a position option.. but.. it has no encoder feed back.
[18:31:07] <Connor> no, his dogs are not the same. only 1 position is correct
[18:31:22] <Connor> which is the other reason for the 180 out sensor
[18:31:46] <cradek> what sensors do you have?
[18:32:13] <Connor> Differential encoder with index ON the motor, 180 sensor on the spindle.
[18:32:28] <Connor> it use to use a resolver instead of the encoder.
[18:32:48] <cradek> if using hostmot2, you could use that sensor as index mask
[18:32:49] <Connor> they somehow did it using that.. no locking mechanism or anything.
[18:33:09] <Connor> We are.. already have that setup thanks to pcw_home
[18:33:17] <cradek> cool
[18:33:24] <Connor> custom firmware even.

[18:37:45] <Connor> I guess maybe we could feed the VFD the encoder information.. but.. not sure how to get it the MASKED index...

[19:00:02] <Connor> andy isn't using the orient component.
[19:00:29] <Connor> and take a look at the hal and ini file of the orient simulator..
[19:00:41] <skunkworks> no - he is also using it as a rotory axis.. (or trying to)
[19:02:11] <Connor> Maybe I can check with Andy when he logs in.. He may have gotten the orient comp to work at some point also.
[19:06:08] <skunkworks> it is really cool how you can apt-get install mesa flash now.. awesome work

[19:08:08] <skunkworks> and so did the mazak...
[19:08:24] <Connor> I guess the question is.. what do you DO with the orient-pid.command output ?
[19:09:05] <Connor> the VFD isn't even being used with PID.. it's simply setup as a open loop spindle with encoder feedback.

[19:12:52] <cradek> have you read all the words in the orient manpage?
[19:13:11] <alex-GN> hi guys, any devoloper working on remaping online?
[19:13:24] <cradek> I notice the orient component doesn't cause an index reset, so index mask doesn't help you
[19:13:35] <cradek> alex-GN: hi, go ahead and ask the real question
[19:14:13] <alex-GN> hi, I just tested today the new remaping functions on a real machine,
[19:14:19] <Connor> index-mask is handled at the mesa level. makes it look normal
[19:14:42] <alex-GN> for using a rack -type toolchanger
[19:15:05] <alex-GN> everything works great until you abort execution of the program
[19:15:16] <alex-GN> after the machine stops at the very point you interrupted execution
[19:15:28] <alex-GN> it will move to the last line read by the interpreter
[19:15:37] <alex-GN> in my case for example line 10500
[19:15:54] <alex-GN> even if i aborted the program at line 5000
[19:16:08] <cradek> you get an extra move after you abort?
[19:16:12] <alex-GN> yes
[19:16:15] <alex-GN> exactly
[19:16:25] <cradek> what version are you running?
[19:16:51] <alex-GN> the move goes exactly to the coordinates where the machine should be in the last line read
[19:17:15] <alex-GN> tried both on 2.6.2 and 2.6.1
[19:17:28] <cradek> how are you aborting?
[19:17:40] <alex-GN> by pressing escape on the keyboard
[19:17:50] <cradek> what gui?
[19:18:01] <alex-GN> axis
[19:18:20] <cradek> hmm!
[19:18:42] <Connor> isn't there a on_error file that gets run on aborts ?
[19:18:47] <cradek> could you assemble a sim config that shows this behavior?
[19:19:07] <cradek> Connor: good question, I'm not sure
[19:19:23] <cradek> I also use remap of M6, but I have not seen this problem
[19:19:31] <alex-GN> I have assambled a "sim" config on the pc i am writing now
[19:19:47] <cradek> excellent. can you tar it up and put it online somewhere for us?
[19:19:53] <alex-GN> shure
[19:19:56] <alex-GN> 1 moment
[19:21:48] <alex-GN> https://www.dropbox.com/s/3oa5jve43p7eaw5/lc-1020.tar.gz?dl=0
[19:22:02] <Connor> I have a on_abort.ngc file that gets fired on aborts...
[19:22:31] <alex-GN> yes, i use the standard on_abord.ngc given in the example
[19:22:42] <skunkworks> pcw_home, wrote 7i80hd_16_svst2_4_7i47d.bit to the card and running it. (with current config)
[19:22:50] <alex-GN> and also reset_state.ngc

[19:23:23] <alex-GN> it executes on_abort.ngc shurely because I tested by writing messages to axis

[19:26:07] <cradek> not quite purely a sim
[19:26:14] <Connor> nope.
[19:26:52] <alex-GN> yes, it-s a config for running on a parallel port
[19:27:01] <alex-GN> works on my computer without any issue
[19:28:03] <Connor> Going to be hard to test if it's not pur sim
[19:29:25] <alex-GN> ok, i'll try assembling a pure sim config
[19:30:14] <cradek> I hacked out parport stuff, and now I'm stuck on:
[19:30:14] <cradek> Embeded tab command "halcmd loadusr -Wn gladevcp gladevcp -c gladevcp -x 67109006 -c gladevcp racktoolchange.glade" exited with error: 1
[19:30:24] <Connor> I have a simulated carousel toolchanger.. but.. I've not tested it in a program yet.. requires too many sensor checks..
[19:31:04] <cradek> aha, installing python-xlib fixed it
[19:31:14] <cradek> now I get AXIS with two extra indicator things
[19:31:29] <cradek> but won't come out of estop (because I hacked that stuff out)
[19:31:42] <cradek> I'll wait for you to work up a sim, thanks
[19:31:56] <cradek> alex-GN: once you do that it might be best to directly file a bug report with the sim config as an attachment
[19:32:15] <cradek> saying just what steps to take to reproduce the problem
[19:32:47] <cradek> bug tracker here: http://sourceforge.net/p/emc/bugs/
[19:33:41] <alex-GN> no need to wait for the sim
[19:33:53] <Connor> >
[19:33:54] <Connor> ?
[19:34:06] <alex-GN> i just tested the very same thing with the sim config that comes with version 2.6.2, racktoolchange
[19:34:20] <alex-GN> everything is identical
[19:34:26] <cradek> oh! that's great
[19:34:42] <cradek> please do file a bug report on the tracker, mark it as 2.6
[19:34:45] <alex-GN> ok, the toolchange files are not identical but the behavior is identical
[19:35:12] <alex-GN> shure, i will try to sort this out and resolve the issue
[19:35:18] <alex-GN> hopefully i can :)
[19:36:31] <cradek> that would be great, if you can directly fix it, here's how to contribute the change: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.6/html/code/Contributing-to-LinuxCNC.html
[19:37:27] <Connor> Can you upload your gcode file ?
[19:37:45] <Connor> I just tested it.. and it works fine.. but.. my gcode file was stupid simple.
[19:38:03] <Connor> and I can't recall if this is a STOCK sim tool rack.. or one I modified..

[19:45:56] <Connor> Stops dead in it's tracks for me.
[19:46:21] <Connor> Using stock SIM rack tool change.
[19:46:32] <Connor> with your program.
[19:46:45] <Connor> I'm running 2.7.0-pre something..
[19:47:55] <alex-GN> hmmm... i can also try on 2.7.0 pre-2
[19:49:48] <Connor> Wait...
[19:49:54] <Connor> it is doing something strange.
[19:51:23] <Connor> Yea.. that's messed up.
[19:51:39] <alex-GN> 2.7.0_pre-0 has the same behaviour
[19:51:56] <alex-GN> if running the program without stopping it, the machine works ok
[19:52:08] <alex-GN> tested today
[19:52:12] <Connor> Not sure if it goes the the very last line or not.. but.. the tool does "jump" to a new location
[19:52:25] <alex-GN> i took some time
[19:52:37] <alex-GN> it jumps to exactly the last line read by the interpreter
[19:53:30] <Connor> Interesting.
[19:53:42] <Connor> Does the MACHINE move ?
[19:53:47] <alex-GN> yes
[19:53:52] <alex-GN> in linuxcnc status
[19:53:56] <Connor> Wow. That's BAD.
[19:54:03] <Connor> that can cause some major damage.
[19:54:04] <alex-GN> it jumps extactly to the read-line parameter
[19:54:07] <alex-GN> yes
[19:54:22] <alex-GN> i have been luck today while testing,
[19:54:34] <alex-GN> had the hand over the hard wired estop ;)
[19:55:03] <alex-GN> it is interesting, the machine stops for 1-2 seconds before moving to this position
[19:55:32] <alex-GN> spindle and collant turn off like expected
[19:56:08] <Connor> Pause and Stop even cause it...
[19:56:10] <Connor> Not good.
[19:57:52] <Connor> Confirmed it's something with remap.. doesn't happen when testing that program on normal axis sim..
[20:00:20] <alex-GN> i know
[20:00:36] <alex-GN> if i remove the M6 the program works ok,
[20:00:46] <alex-GN> also when aborting, it's behaving normal
