[01:08:23] <skunkworks> at max jerk of 100 it runs pretty slow but doesn't seem to violate

[01:09:13] <skunkworks> which seems a bit odd

[14:14:52] <cradek> > You are allowed to request replacement licenses for failed computers
[14:16:15] <skunkworks> from debian? ;)
[14:16:44] <cradek> no, sorry, I veered into the dark part of the web for a while there
[14:17:13] <skunkworks> heh
[14:19:09] <cradek> I like how carefully-worded that is. it makes no promises about whether you'll actually get to keep using the software you bought if your computer fails.
[14:19:18] <cradek> when
[14:21:36] <skunkworks> right
[14:24:50] <pcw_home> In my innocence I thought you were allowed to request anything
[14:27:12] <skunkworks> and it starts..
http://www.cnczone.com/forums/tormach-pathpilot-/261104-arc-radius-small.html
[14:30:35] <cradek> hmm, just mayyyybe he should've posted the snippet of gcode that errored
[14:30:55] <cradek> but he wanted to get some discussion going, instead
[14:40:33] <seb_kuzminsky> tell him to upgrade to 2.7.0~pre4, it increases the arc radius tolerance to the "your cam is sloppy" level of 0.0028 inches ;-)
[14:40:35] md2 is now known as Guest50692
[14:40:39] <skunkworks> Does 2.7 allow you to set the tollerence now? heh ok
[14:40:55] <skunkworks> can you change it?
[14:41:05] <skunkworks> (arc eyes changes (or whoever)
[14:41:07] <cradek> you can make it tighter than the default
[14:41:28] <cradek> the default works for gcode that is rounded to .001in or .01mm
[14:41:36] <seb_kuzminsky> i bet it's not in the docs though
[14:42:16] <cradek> IMO there's no reason to ever change the value from the default
[14:42:24] <skunkworks> agreed
[14:42:44] <cradek> I wonder how tormach is going to release updates. I understand they have eschewed normal debian packaging.
[14:42:59] <seb_kuzminsky> if you're working on very small parts and you want ther interpreter to tell you when you fat-finger the arc center/endpoints?
[14:43:23] <cradek> hm, maybe for edm of very tiny things

[15:11:43] <pcw_home> I used rt1
[15:15:19] <skunkworks> huh - so linuxcnc really does have similar devices now (except usb) for 'motion devices..' The 7i92 is pretty close to ethernet smooth stepper

[15:39:18] <cradek> Grab the Maxvel slider again and slowly increase the allowed velocity (see Figure 5.10). Bring
[15:39:21] <cradek> the velocity back down to zero when you get close to the part and double check the values
[15:39:24] <micges> pcw_home: that's good
[15:39:24] <cradek> in the DROs.
[15:39:26] <cradek> YES
[15:39:50] <cradek> this is very clueful
[15:40:35] <micges> pcw_home: I've just back from real machine testing
[15:41:26] <micges> skunkworks: found few minor bugs but arcs and blending works, later I'll push changes to repo
[15:42:59] <micges> machine at 60m/min / 1g acc ad 100k jerk have ultra smooth path even on g1/g1 at 170 deg angles
[15:44:45] <pcw_home> I noticed an improvement in stepgen performance (lower ferror magnitudes)
[15:44:46] <pcw_home> limited jerk papers over the fact that the accel used for feed forward is 1 cycle late
[15:46:52] <micges> how so 1 cycle late?
[15:47:28] <micges> I saw everywhere current pos - latest pos to calc curr vel
[15:48:20] <pcw_home> because its done in hal with differences of velocity
[15:48:40] <micges> right
[15:49:23] <cradek> now that I'm on page 84 I see they've totally forked the documentation too. wow they've bitten off big chunks.
[15:52:59] <cradek> > The parameter values are absolute machine coordinates in the native machine units of inches.
[15:53:11] <cradek> huh are they selling only inch machines?
[15:53:33] <pcw_home> thats... odd
[15:53:40] <skunkworks> micges, 30in/s^2 with >100 causes all kinds of violations... If I up the acc to 400in/s^2 errors go away...
[15:54:21] <pcw_home> 1G is where to be
[15:55:17] <micges> yeah code is only for fast machines ;)
[15:55:27] <skunkworks> heh
[15:55:33] <micges> skunkworks: thanks I'll check it too

[15:59:44] <cradek> they removed mention of coordinate system rotation
[15:59:49] <skunkworks> saw that.
[16:00:34] <skunkworks> they also do some funky stuff like - if you run a program in mm - it keeps that setting until you run gcode explicitly changing it.
[16:03:48] <cradek> I guess we don't have to agree with each of their changes, do we
[16:04:27] <cradek> we'll have some benefit (yay rob!) and some fallout (users complaining to us about PP-specific bugs), but it'll be fine
[16:04:41] <cradek> so far, the benefit really outweighs
[16:06:37] <skunkworks> right
[16:06:54] <pcw_home> Thats certainly my impression (not sure the people that complained about Tormach have any idea how much work is involved in the TP changes)

[21:46:25] <andypugh> I would like to find a way to add the Z-height without having to define my own xmal namespace
[21:46:54] -!- jvrousseau has quit [Quit: Textual IRC Client: www.textualapp.com]
[21:47:24] <andypugh> Currently I have to grab the Z-height with “ Z = node.get(“{
http://www.bodgesoc.org}Z”) which seems silly.
[21:48:11] <andypugh> The SVG file has “slicer:Z” but xml.etree expands the namespace :-(
[21:48:23] <CaptHindsight> andypugh: where is this hosted?
[21:48:57] <CaptHindsight> and how does it work with the gcode? An Mcode for the images?
[21:50:11] <andypugh> It isn’t hosted anywhere at the moment.
[21:50:22] <andypugh> It’s something I am playing around with for a friend.
[21:50:54] -!- Nick001-shop has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[21:51:08] <CaptHindsight> the next step is to have synchronized motion of other axis during printing, placing inserts, lasers, printheads etc
[21:51:17] <andypugh> There is some VBA code that creates and SVG file from inside Autodesk Inventor, and then a Realtime HAL component that displays the slice that is passed to it on a HAL pin as a Z-height.
[21:52:19] -!- robinsz [robinsz!~robin@88.97.63.122] has joined #linuxcnc-devel
[21:52:29] <andypugh> Sorry. NOT a Relatime HAL comp. a USERSPACE HAL comp
[21:54:31] <andypugh> CaptHindsight: Or you can do it all inside the SVG file, this one here has an embeded script so you get whatever slice you append to the URL:
http://www.bodgesoc.org/newfile_script.svg?5
[21:55:38] <andypugh> (If you View Source you will see the XML tags I am using in the SVG)
[21:55:43] <CaptHindsight> it needs to be part of Gcode
[21:56:17] <andypugh> I don’t understand Why, or how, it can be a part of G-code.
[21:57:06] <andypugh> What is wrong with linking a random Axis to the slice height required?
[21:57:18] <andypugh> Or using the G-code analogue output?
[21:58:04] <andypugh> (I haven’t worked out how to choose the input file yet, currently it’s a command-line parameter)
[21:58:51] <CaptHindsight> how do you introduce other operations and motions between displayed slices?
[21:59:21] -!- robinsz has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[21:59:46] <andypugh> I probably need to add a blanking pin.
[22:00:08] <andypugh> (Possibly even an exposure-time pin)
[22:00:09] <CaptHindsight> you also want to set the duration of the image on the projector, the blank time before and after Z motion
[22:01:04] <andypugh> I am just messing about at the moment, I have never even seen a DLP printer.
[22:01:36] <andypugh> But I can iagine that the exposure and blanking might be better done in hardware.
[22:02:45] <andypugh> How critical is the exposure time? Is userspace latency likely to be good enough?
[22:03:16] -!- FinboySlick has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[22:03:24] <andypugh> Currently my “customer” is using a Windows PC to display the images, so it can’t be that critical.
[22:03:40] -!- Deejay has quit [Quit: bye]
[22:03:41] <CaptHindsight> it's very critical
[22:04:30] <CaptHindsight> the exposure time and the time after exposure before you tilt the build surface and after
[22:06:20] <andypugh> I can’t see it being possible to parse and display SVG in the realtime threads.
[22:07:04] <CaptHindsight> a single layer might go like this: move Z, move wiper over surface, wait 1 sec, display image for 0.8 sec, scan printhead XY over surface, scan laser XY over surface, move Z .....
[22:07:14] <andypugh> But I guess the question is whether exposure is critical to the microsecond or millisecond.
[22:07:50] <CaptHindsight> or move a robot arm over the exposed print and place an insert at a given layer
[22:08:10] <CaptHindsight> 0.1 sec for now
[22:08:54] <andypugh> I think that even Userspace can manage that.
[22:09:09] -!- mhaberler has quit [Quit: mhaberler]
[22:09:25] <CaptHindsight> for a scanning laser it's like cutting speed only in the several meters per second
[22:09:44] <andypugh> So, I could add an exposure-time pin and a “show now” input pin and “exposure over’ output pin.
[22:10:37] <andypugh> This is all just implementationdetails.
[22:11:33] <andypugh> I was only really trying to see if it is possible to have every layer in one SVG file and handle it in reasonable time.
[22:11:43] <andypugh> How many layers in a typical part file?
[22:11:56] <CaptHindsight> anywhere from a few to several thousand
[22:12:22] <andypugh> I guess I should try a more compley model and many more layers.
[22:12:34] <CaptHindsight> if you're printing a part 100mm high with 100um layers, 10K
[22:12:47] <CaptHindsight> well you're ahead of me on the Linuxcnc end
[22:12:58] <andypugh> Does anyone use adaptive layer heights? (there is no point having 1000 identical layers in the SVG)
[22:13:23] <CaptHindsight> sorry meant 10um
[22:13:40] <andypugh> Do you know if there is an accepted standard for the multi-layer SVG file format?
[22:13:55] <CaptHindsight> if you slice it asymetrically then yes you need to print it that way as well
[22:14:10] <CaptHindsight> no
[22:14:42] <CaptHindsight> the software is either closed by the corprate players, or a train wreck by the reprappers
[22:14:49] <andypugh> Not necessarily. My HAL comp chooses the layer closest to the current Z height, so you coulf have two slices 100mm apart and then 1000 slices in the next mm and it would work.
[22:15:31] <andypugh> CaptHindsight: Did you look at my SVG File? (Ignore the script at the beginning)
[22:15:58] <CaptHindsight> the image for each layer just has to match the actual printed Z location/height
[22:16:24] <CaptHindsight> http://www.bodgesoc.org/newfile_script.svg?1
[22:17:14] <andypugh> No, I don’t think there should be any requirement for an exact correspondence between SVG layers and exposure heights.
[22:17:28] <CaptHindsight> I guess you could have some run length encoding to get rid of redundancy
[22:18:11] <CaptHindsight> i think this is getting lost in translation
[22:18:14] <andypugh> The SVG just needs to have a height attribute for each layer, and the printer chooses the best layer to suit the current printer height.
[22:18:57] amnesic_away is now known as amnesic
[22:19:16] <andypugh> My friend is currently slicing every 5um, then exposing 5 frames in sequence every 25 um
[22:20:03] <andypugh> Hmm, perhaps between layers I should display two layers at 50% Alpha?
[22:20:19] <andypugh> (Or, indeed, at proportional Alphas)
[22:20:37] <CaptHindsight> one frame every 5um or 5 different frames at one Z position being every 25um?
[22:21:11] <andypugh> He has SVG slices for every 5um, but he only moves the X every 25um
[22:24:53] <CaptHindsight> ok, so move Z 25um, display image 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, move Z 25um, display 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 etc
[22:25:12] <andypugh> Yes.

[22:34:47] <CaptHindsight> coordinating motion with a printhead or a projector is another project
[22:35:46] <CaptHindsight> the projector might scan over over an area XY syncing video with motion, similar to a printhead
[22:37:23] <CaptHindsight> or use a galvo to steer images from a single projector onto a larger surface
[22:43:34] <PCW> Not sure why they dont use laser scanners from a printer
[22:43:36] <PCW> seems like it woudl be cheaper and better than galvos (though wastes energy like the DLP)
