[02:06:30] <skunkworks_> the carousel component is pretty cool.
[02:07:05] <skunkworks_> it seems to be working as expected. the issue with the tool chain being 1 off I think is that it isn;t seeing the index at the right time

[02:30:47] <skunkworks_> works
[02:31:11] <andypugh> Grand
[02:31:33] <skunkworks_> I think we need to play with the index location. it i calling pocket 1 - one pocket after the one with the index switch
[02:31:46] <skunkworks_> I need to halscope the pocket and index senors
[02:32:47] <skunkworks_> Btw - I think I found a bug. - if the first tool you call is the last tool (20 for me) it finds the index - then instead of rotating one backwards - it rotates all the way around to 20

[02:33:38] <seb_kuzminsky> bug in axis preview in master
[02:34:07] <seb_kuzminsky> on an unhomed non-id-kins machine (sim/axis/gantry), F1, F2, jog around, the DRO updates but the preview tool cursor does not move
[02:34:13] <seb_kuzminsky> was it always like that?
[02:34:47] <seb_kuzminsky> Home All, switch to world mode and everything works right: the dro updates *and* the preview tool cursor moves
[02:35:21] <skunkworks_> non-id-kins?
[02:35:36] <seb_kuzminsky> that config uses gantrykins
[02:36:05] <seb_kuzminsky> 2.7.4 behaves the same way...
[02:36:08] <seb_kuzminsky> so, shrug
[02:36:52] <seb_kuzminsky> it's not a regression
[02:44:10] <andypugh> skunkworks_: That sounds like a rather minor bug, as it does find the right tool, though inefficiently. I am vaguley curious as to why that happens, though.
[02:45:33] -!- anth0ny_ has quit [Client Quit]
[02:46:03] <andypugh> Have you managed to absolutely test that passing through index with an OR setup never ever, gets the tool wrong by one? That sceario woulld be dangerous and concerns me.
[02:48:59] -!- anth0ny_ has quit [Client Quit]
[02:49:21] <skunksleep> I have not done anything more than just hooking up the raw 2 switches
[02:49:48] <skunksleep> Ran out of time.

[02:52:51] <seb_kuzminsky> ugh, my commit the other night, 5fb0e8178, is broken
[02:53:54] <seb_kuzminsky> task needs to be in Auto mode to deal with the PLAN_OPEN message, and i changed that
[02:56:04] -!- skunksleep has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[02:56:05] <seb_kuzminsky> it's sad to me that the axis splash gcode preview has been relying on a bug this whole time
[02:56:43] -!- skunksleep [skunksleep!~AndChat14@str-broadband-ccmts-ws-26.dsl.airstreamcomm.net] has joined #linuxcnc-devel
[03:03:26] <andypugh> Has it been so long that the bug is actually a feature?
[03:03:53] <seb_kuzminsky> the behavior that the bug allows is certinaly desirable
[03:03:58] <skunksleep> (And I am a little fuzzy on how to hook up the Or)
[03:04:21] <seb_kuzminsky> splash gcode is great, but the intent of the code is clearly to disallow it
[03:07:00] <seb_kuzminsky> splash gcode is loaded at startup, before the machine's come out of estop and been homed
[03:07:30] <seb_kuzminsky> when the machine is not homed, it is not allowed to switch to Auto mode (aka gcode-running mode)
[03:07:54] <andypugh> I am unsire of the issue being described, but is it that the fact that Axis displays “LinuxCNC” despite not beng in a position to mill it, and eithout loading it, is a bit odd?
[03:08:35] <seb_kuzminsky> yeah, that's the wrong but useful effect of the bug i've been wrestling with lately
[03:09:08] <seb_kuzminsky> linuxcnc *does* load the splash gcode (and the Axis preview displays it), even though it shouldnt be allowed to load it
[03:09:59] <seb_kuzminsky> i'm thinking task should allow *opening* a gcode file when unhomed, but not *running* it until the machine is homed
[03:10:16] <seb_kuzminsky> but then i went and looked at implementing that in task and got discouraged by how hairy task is
[03:10:19] <andypugh> Well, if you fix it, we will see far fewer YouTube videos of barely-working macines making a bad job of hacking out our project name. That might be a good thing.
[03:10:41] <mozmck> Hi seb, have you given any thought to my comments on gantries?
[03:11:03] <seb_kuzminsky> i think it's important for users to have quick success, of sorts, so i dont want to break splash gcode functionality
[03:11:09] <skunksleep> Do you or the index with the pocket sensor and then run it to the carousel index input?
[03:11:12] <seb_kuzminsky> mozmck: i've thought about it some
[03:11:42] <seb_kuzminsky> i understand your position as this: you want three jog modes, not two
[03:11:44] <andypugh> But, I have to be at work at 7am east coast time, so time to sleep.
[03:11:55] <seb_kuzminsky> 1. free mode, like now, where each joint jogs independently of all others
[03:12:05] <seb_kuzminsky> 2. wold mode, like now, where you jog axes, not joints
[03:12:19] <seb_kuzminsky> 3. the new mode, where you jog each joint, but kins runs and updates the other joints
[03:12:30] <seb_kuzminsky> is that a fair representation of what you're thinking of?
[03:12:35] <seb_kuzminsky> andypugh: good night
[03:13:17] <mozmck> Well, I would just say I want 2. world mode only, but I may not be understanding your third option
[03:14:06] <andypugh> skunksleep: Sorry, running on empty trying to synchronise body clocks. 23:13 local time, 0413 “me” time.
[03:14:16] <mozmck> So that is is not possible to jog joints.
[03:14:46] -!- andypugh has quit [Quit: andypugh]
[03:15:04] <mozmck> I really need to get some time to work with ja.
[03:15:52] <seb_kuzminsky> you and me both, pal
[03:16:24] <seb_kuzminsky> mozmck: i thought we talked about that and decided that sometimes you *do* want to jog joints
[03:16:37] <seb_kuzminsky> when setting up the machine, or when squaring a gantry that's gotten racked, etc
[03:16:40] <seb_kuzminsky> no?
[03:17:05] <mozmck> No, I could see someone possibly wanting that, but for me/us, we do not want that.
[03:18:06] <mozmck> Too dangerous and I can't see it really being useful for any of the machines we deal with. You fix racking by homing with a switch on each side.
[03:18:25] -!- anth0ny_ has quit [Quit: anth0ny_]
[03:19:48] <seb_kuzminsky> so for your product, you want to disallow jogging until you're in world mode?
[03:19:57] <mozmck> If a machine that moves 1000 IPM can get into a mode where you can jog only one side, and you do it accidentally, you could break the gantry in a hurry.
[03:20:07] <seb_kuzminsky> (and you'd enter world mode the usual way, by homing and switching to world)
[03:20:19] <seb_kuzminsky> i totally agree that's a bad situation
[03:20:48] <seb_kuzminsky> i too am worried about that exact thing with the machine at my local hackspace
[03:20:58] <seb_kuzminsky> i want to make it safer for people to use
[03:21:05] <mozmck> No I would rather have a way to make it be in world mode even before homing - or simply be in world mode all the time unless homing.
[03:21:21] <seb_kuzminsky> disallowing jogging in joint/free mode seems like the way to go, to me
[03:21:23] <mozmck> Yes, us too - because we have to deal will supporting them!
[03:21:34] <seb_kuzminsky> heh, me too :-)
[03:21:45] <mozmck> Well, the problem with that, is that some people don't even use home switches.
[03:22:15] <mozmck> Plus, if you don't allow jogging, and the head happens to be in the middle of the table, homing will take forever!
[03:22:25] <seb_kuzminsky> world mode before homing is not generally possible, because not all non-identity kins (aka non-trivial kins) have knowable world positions until the joint positions are known
[03:23:29] <mozmck> Hmm, so is a gantry kins not identity? Or could one not be made?
[03:23:43] <mozmck> How does motion know if it's identity?
[03:23:57] <seb_kuzminsky> "identity kins" means a 1-to-1 mapping between joints and axes
[03:24:11] <seb_kuzminsky> gantrykins has 2 joints to one axis, so it's not id kins
[03:24:30] <seb_kuzminsky> the kinematics module registers with motion and reports whether it's id-kins or not
[03:24:52] <seb_kuzminsky> via the kinematicsType() function
[03:26:33] <mozmck> Hmm, maybe I could make a gantry kins and have it tell motion it's identity ;-)
[03:27:30] <seb_kuzminsky> that't wouldnt work, unfortunately
[03:27:43] <mozmck> Not surprising
[03:27:59] <seb_kuzminsky> because you'd not get to set two joints' positiong from the one axis position
[03:28:07] <seb_kuzminsky> it might work, but that'd be another bug ;-)
[03:28:43] <mozmck> Well, somehow I'll figure it out. Right now the gantry.comp component is working quite well.
[03:29:10] <seb_kuzminsky> i'm glad it's making a viable product for you, that's really great
[03:29:28] <seb_kuzminsky> gantry.comp uses trivkins, right?
[03:29:45] <seb_kuzminsky> i should say, your config uses trivkins and gantry.comp, right?
[03:30:05] <mozmck> Yes
[03:30:23] <mozmck> I used trivkins even before I started using gantry.comp
[03:30:29] <seb_kuzminsky> yeah
[03:30:51] <mozmck> but gantry.comp allows auto-squaring to multiple switches
[03:31:26] <seb_kuzminsky> yeah

[14:41:29] <skunkworks__> read timeout is currently set at 80
[14:41:41] <jepler> .. which means 80% of thread period
[14:42:16] <skunkworks__> easy enough
[14:42:32] <jepler> if the value is >100 then it is in ns
[14:42:36] <jepler> I got a little too clever :-/
[14:42:39] <pcw_home> I had it running with about 5% packet loss yesterday, it eventually reached the fatal error trip point after a couple hours
[14:42:41] <pcw_home> where I think this can be useful is systems (like this one ) that may get a error once a day or so at 3 KHz
[14:44:29] <skunkworks__> random thread that made me laugh. http://www.cnczone.com/forums/uccnc-control-software/307124-random-feed.html
[14:49:19] <skunkworks__> latency test runs great for days - linuxcnc runs great for days but when I try to run the 7i92 it will trip a realtime error after 20 minutes
[14:49:29] <skunkworks__> something with the nic maybe
[14:50:41] <pcw_home> check the read tmax
[14:50:44] <skunkworks__> 82579LM
[14:51:11] <pcw_home> you have irq coalesing off?
[14:52:00] <skunkworks__> yes - setup according to the hm docs
[14:53:08] <pcw_home> what do ping times look like?
[14:54:12] <pcw_home> like:
[14:54:14] <pcw_home> sudo chrt 99 ping -i .001 10.10.10.10 > foo
[14:55:53] <skunkworks__> the read.tmax is currently running at 489us
[14:56:14] <skunkworks__> and now a realtime error

[14:56:37] <mozmck> Interesting quote from the thread skunkworks__ just posted, "space industry applications they have started reverting back to rs232 from ethernet because its more reliable."
[14:56:44] <mozmck> Anyone know if that is true?
[14:59:17] <mozmck> It would not really surprise me - rs232/485 is reliable and simple.
[14:59:49] <pcw_home> a lot less software/hardware involved
[15:01:16] <pcw_home> on the other hand ive now had a 7I76E running at work for almost 2 years (and close to one year at 4 KHz) with not a single packet lost

[19:20:11] <skunkworks_> heh - the second you ping the mesa card you get a 600us delay
[19:23:33] <jepler> that's no good

[21:37:38] <tinkerer> hi mesa experts
[21:39:21] <tinkerer> have someone a simple working example config for the 7i90 and steppers for testing?
[21:43:05] <PCW> you could use a 7i43 sample config and just change a name or 2
[21:43:43] <tinkerer> ok thanks

[22:55:15] <tinkerer> 7i90 over spi and raspberrypi2 :)
[22:55:59] <tinkerer> I've wrote a driver for the raspi
[22:57:38] <tinkerer> now I'm testing it without motors. just logic analyzer
[22:57:50] <PCW> I've seen this before, I think is a ARM issue
[22:58:32] <PCW> something busted with float/integer conversions
[22:58:52] <tinkerer> hmm, which kind? it works with my pluto well
[22:58:57] <tinkerer> ahhhh
[22:59:14] <tinkerer> ok, thanks for the hint
[22:59:39] <tinkerer> maybe rtai_math?
[23:00:15] <PCW> is this linuxcnc or machinekit (and what version)? I think this showed up running hm2_eth on a ARM host
[23:00:30] <tinkerer> machinekit
[23:01:42] <PCW> I thought this was fixed with machinekit but not sure when or how or if they do versions
[23:03:19] <tinkerer> is this a hostmot2 issue?
[23:04:11] <tinkerer> 'cos as I said my pluto driver works well.
[23:05:33] <PCW> Can't remember if its a hostmot2 issue or ARM math issue but the code that trips the bug is in hostmot2
[23:05:35] <PCW> (I dont remember the details but I think a float to 32 integer conversion is broken on ARM, = sign lost)
[23:06:51] <PCW> (in the stepgen and possibly elsewhere)
[23:07:00] <tinkerer> ok, thanks for the hint. will dig in :)
[23:21:24] <PCW> looks like a hostmot2 stepgen bug that happens to work on x86 (its been fixed for a while in linuxcnc)
[23:21:51] <PCW> stepgen.c line 275
[23:22:42] <tinkerer> yes, who else, if not jepler have fixed it :) http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=linuxcnc.git;a=blobdiff;f=src/hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/stepgen.c;h=85060ee764b432f2bade32c875c29b0156508c78;hp=a971847d4da6b8978d2171f800a79ac89c4d2f98;hb=8b536f47153db14bf6001c3c1c7b69bcc84b6389;hpb=e082ca2f983a87357081afdd23e15b45ebe017e7
