http://www.tormach.com/uploads/530/TD10093_CNC_Drag_Knife_0312A-pdf.html
[15:58:20] <andypugh> kwallace: It will take many passes. It was 3 passes to get through sticker-paper
[15:58:57] <archivist> that blade has a 3 thou cut, and gaskets are a lot thicker
[15:59:19] <andypugh> Though that might be because my plotter had no pressure, and a CNC machine could probably puch harder
[16:01:36] <kwallace> Gaskets seemed a bit of a stretch. Now I'm thinking maybe a punch attachment. The table holds the sheet and moves it under a 2.5mm punch.
[16:01:38] <archivist> from doing it by hand the lack of a sticky backing like sign material you mean it is hard to clamp and keep still
[16:02:16] <archivist> I think a punch is more sensible too

[16:27:59] <andypugh> Yes, but the latency isn’t great

[16:28:36] <archivist> ew

[17:05:34] <andypugh> Though admittedly the RS bench press is ludicrously costly:
http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/machine-presses/0602432/
[17:05:53] <archivist> we later had an RS lever punch had a flame cut frame
[17:06:45] <andypugh> I used an RS press a lot. They definitely work well enough.
[17:07:07] <andypugh> (University, press and every possible tool. Never used until I found it)
[17:15:22] <jepler> mozmck: no, we haven't merged any patches for the ARM memory ordering bugs and the initial set of patches only cover one of several areas where we imagine that there are memory order bugs lurking
[17:22:22] <pcw_home> interesting thread on forum, someone converting a Novakon to Linuxcnc.
[17:22:24] <pcw_home> it uses a (step/dir) servo for the spindle, wonder how easy that is to make
[17:22:25] <pcw_home> work with rigid tapping
[17:23:22] <pcw_home> (without adding an encoder I mean)
[17:24:28] -!- kriskropd has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
[17:26:41] <jepler> probably at a minimum needs a custom component that takes a counts input, implements the index-enable protocol, and outputs a position-fb
[17:28:54] <pcw_home> I was thinking just scaling the stepgen position would be enough for the counts but it needs the index logic

[17:31:03] -!- remstw has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[17:31:14] <pcw_home> the stepgen firmware has the position latch to implement index/probe so thats a possibility but needs driver code
[17:31:33] -!- remstw has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[17:32:16] <jepler> oh you think there's a physical index on the otherwise encoderless spindle?
[17:33:02] -!- remstw has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[17:36:21] -!- sumpfralle has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
[17:37:18] <pcw_home> Maybe not, if not I guess a modN counter could be done (Either in firmware as part of the stepgen or software in the component)
[17:39:35] -!- remstw has quit [Quit: .]
[17:40:14] <pcw_home> a servo driven spindle allows you to slave the spindle to the motion (I think thats what they do with Mach)
[17:41:36] <cradek> if using software stepgen, you could just tie it to a software encoder
[17:41:49] <cradek> seems like with an fpga you could do the same
[17:42:03] <jepler> Subject: [ANNOUNCE] 4.1.3-rt3
[17:43:08] <pcw_home> Currently theres no simple way to wire things like stepgen outputs to encoder inputs in the FPGA
[17:43:43] <pcw_home> (I mean no non one-off hacky way)
[17:43:52] <cradek> heh I meant use wires
[17:44:27] <pcw_home> not enough wires on one parallel port connection
[17:44:35] <cradek> they'd have to agree on step type unfortunately
[17:44:57] <cradek> oh I forgot about connectors
[17:45:13] <pcw_home> yeah maybe easiest is to add index simulation to the stepgen module
[17:46:35] <cradek> no simple fix is there
[17:52:26] <pcw_home> probably the cleanest way would be for linuxcnc to support servo driven spindles, but I have no idea whats needed for that

[17:53:50] -!- remstw has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[17:54:57] <cradek> but stepgen home to index would be nice for other reasons too

[17:55:42] <cradek> or is it
[18:00:36] -!- remstw has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[18:04:48] <pcw_home> if you had a physical index input I think its the same

[18:17:20] <andypugh> You can emulate a counts reset with an integer mux2 wired back to itself.

[18:19:21] <pcw_home> If it could be hacked together in HAL that would be great

[18:21:08] <andypugh> Hmm, if you wanted a consistent index position then it gets a bit harder.
[18:21:38] <andypugh> Maybe there is a real need for a sim_index HAL component?
[18:22:44] <andypugh> endex-enable IO pin, and it looks for rawcounts modulus N being zero before resetting output and setting index-enable true.
[18:24:13] <andypugh> It starts to look like a bit of a mess when you add tristate latches and modulo-arithmetic to the HAL mess
[18:24:54] <andypugh> (In fact, if I was writing that index comp it would do modulo arithmetic as a byproduct, because I keep wanting that)

[18:39:15] <jepler> and make sure it works when you have >2^31 counts since poweron and the modulo is not itself a power of 2 (e.g., 360, 400)
[18:39:32] <jepler> (so internally you really need to extend to 2^64 counts and then do modulo arithmetic)

[18:57:27] <jepler> cpu MHz : 1998.000
[18:57:37] <jepler> so I think it's actually running at the lower speed, haven't sorted out why
[18:58:06] <jepler> hm eventually I had a blip at 2kHz

[19:05:51] <pcw_home> I have the same CPU
[19:05:53] <pcw_home> model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.16GHz
[19:05:54] <pcw_home> cpu MHz : 3158.689
[19:09:49] <pcw_home> (HP DC7800) it runs one card at 3 KHz pretty reliably but rarely has ~300 usec delays
[19:09:50] <pcw_home> so I get errors at 3 KHz (about once a month) Of course I am using it as
[19:09:52] <pcw_home> a normal desktop at the same time
[19:09:53] <pcw_home> The H97/G3258 is completely reliable at 4 KHz (at least 6 months without incident)
[19:14:48] <pcw_home> the rare ~300 usec delays have been in the hm2_eth read time but also sometimes show up in the motion controller time
[19:18:24] -!- remstw has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[19:18:51] <pcw_home> The H97/G3258 shows none of these rare large-ish delays
[19:19:43] <jepler> 99th percentile of 120000 2kHz servo thread iterations: (thread1.time @ 2GHz)
[19:19:46] <jepler> one card: 377568
[19:19:48] <jepler> two cards: 435033 (+75465)
[19:19:51] <jepler> three cards: 536446 (+83413)
[19:19:52] <jepler> of course that's just over 1 minute, not over a long period of time
[19:22:26] <pcw_home> so at 2 Ghz thats ~ 40 usec more per card
[19:24:45] <pcw_home> (probably not much data xfer for those added cards though )

[22:28:35] <jepler> aha I knew I had written a general "extend a small-width counter to 64 bits" function. it's hiding in pluto_common.h.
http://paste.debian.net/286030/
[22:28:49] <jepler> no doubt there is some more elegant way to write it
[22:30:45] <jepler> and I wonder if the type of newlow should be unsigned

[22:56:08] <andypugh> jepler: That’s interesting. I have written a few bits of code that extend to 64 bits, and they are nowhere near as long.
[23:01:46] <andypugh> All I have done is:
http://paste.debian.net/286043/
[23:02:31] <andypugh> Which I have proven to work for every scenario that I have tested it with. But leaves me worried that there are scenarios that I have not tested with.
[23:02:47] <Roguish> Hey all: I get this error on the linuxcnc.org website: Internal Server Error
[23:03:34] <andypugh> So do I
[23:03:42] <andypugh> It was working earlier
[23:03:53] <Roguish> i agree.
[23:04:24] <Roguish> where is the server these days?
[23:06:11] <andypugh> I am not sure. We had a 403 problem a week or so ago, which was fixed.
[23:08:13] <andypugh> I have forgotten who it has that has admin access to the server.
[23:11:37] <Roguish> is it in a commercial farm, like Amazon? or on a personal server? does it need some funding? possibly a round of contributions?

[23:12:24] <andypugh> Roguish: I believe it is somewhere between the two.
[23:13:00] <Tom_itx> i wonder if it's ever backed up
[23:13:19] <andypugh> My impression is that it lives on a commercial server but we don’t pay
[23:13:45] <Roguish> even as squeaky as I am, I would be more than happy to contribute some $.
