[09:23:02] <grandrew_> Hi
[09:23:03] <the_wench> hello grandrew_, you have a question?
[09:23:26] <grandrew_> Yes
[09:25:06] <grandrew_> I've configured the hal to run .write command in a separate thread that runs 3 times faster than base-thread. But write command seems to somehow fire with non-zero arguments in the cycles that base-thread should definitely be sleeping
[09:26:32] <grandrew_> The question is,how can that be :-)
[09:27:10] <grandrew_> I guess that input ports do not get zeroed in time (sometimes?)
[09:28:22] <grandrew_> But since the cnc produces errors, that means that base-thread is actually calling write() not in time :-\ and these 'misses' are real commands that are not being executed
[09:28:28] <micges_work> base thread should be the fastest thread
[09:28:47] <grandrew_> Why should?
[09:29:03] <micges_work> design
[09:29:15] <micges_work> do you use base thread ?
[09:29:27] <grandrew_> And absolutely no way to have something in HAL running faster?
[09:29:59] <micges_work> it would be easier if you pastebin.com your hal/ini files
[09:30:00] <grandrew_> I use base thread for everything except for .write()
[09:30:54] <grandrew_> Ok 1 sec
[09:32:14] -!- acemi [acemi!~acemi@unaffiliated/acemi] has joined #emc
[09:32:47] <grandrew_> http://pastebin.com/Fs5VxBk7
[09:33:26] <grandrew_> That is .hal, .ini is defaukt created by stepconf
[09:33:53] <grandrew_> Hmm.. except for the max velocities
[09:33:58] <grandrew_> But
[09:34:41] <grandrew_> that should not matter anyways since the problem is that .write is firing unexpectedly often
[09:35:11] <micges_work> why this is so complex?
[09:35:35] <micges_work> base thread is for generating pulses so it is usually fastest
[09:35:55] <micges_work> servo thread is for anything else and it is usually 1ms period
[09:36:27] <psha> archivist: whoa, you are back again! :)
[09:36:33] <archivist> :)
[09:37:00] <micges_work> if you want something faster you can use threads module to create threads with different speed but same or multiply of speed of base thread
[09:37:08] <psha> micges_work: it's for multiplexing
[09:37:20] <psha> logger[psha]: .
[09:38:03] <psha> micges_work: http://psha.org.ru/irc/%23emc/2011-01-20.html#13:48:28
[09:38:46] <micges_work> unfortunately I don't have time now, I just taked a quick look into hal
[09:39:01] <micges_work> bbl
[09:39:05] <psha> so just believe that 3 threads are needed :)
[09:39:38] <micges_work> I'll look at log later, be patience
[09:40:56] <grandrew_> ok
[09:42:48] <psha> grandrew_: if stepgen is living in base thread (not in fast thread) then fast thread get same value for 3 rounds
[09:43:03] <psha> that's why we were telling you to make another multiplexing comp
[09:43:56] <grandrew_> After a few experiments I've noticed that .write() is [usually?] called with non-zero data_out's only once it gets feeded by base-thread (the thread1 I guess?) So I made a storege to hold current command for 2 more steps and execute them sequentially as I want
[09:45:12] <grandrew_> the problem now is that sometimes .write() is still being called with non-zero args in the time that it should not be called (the multiplexer is still processing previous command)
[09:46:14] <psha> grandrew_: why you don't want to do it in comp?
[09:46:34] <grandrew_> ok now I am beginning to want :-)
[09:46:57] <psha> i'm not machinist, i'm programmer :)
[09:47:22] <psha> so i may be wrong about gcode and schematics but usually my opinion on programming side is not very dumb :)
[09:48:34] <grandrew_> I just wanted to beleive I will not run into bugs and concurrency issues at least in the realtime mode :-\
[09:48:49] <psha> no, you won't
[09:49:22] <psha> as SWPadnos mentioned yesterday if you respect rules (no delays, store state between invokations) you'll be fine

[14:51:29] <L84Supper> the prices mention wholesale but they will sell you a small quantity
[14:52:14] <Jymmm> the Fastenal stores I've walked into mostly have construction hardware, not so much the smaller stuff.
[14:52:40] <Jymmm> "We can order it for you" bastards
[14:55:04] <L84Supper> don't you know that as a person living in the US you shouldn't need these screws anyway, you should be out buying a complete product from an approved consumer retail outlet :)
[14:57:28] <Jymmm> Anyone want to see my "Teddy Bear" ?
[14:58:13] <dimas_> Jymmm, yes :)
[14:58:43] <Jymmm> Laser engraved in granite yesterday... http://i54.tinypic.com/k2mo7n.jpg
[14:59:16] <atmega> cool
[14:59:42] <atmega> from a pic? through a processor?
[14:59:57] <Jymmm> from a photo, yes.
[15:01:01] <dimas_> cool
[15:01:16] <Jymmm> thanks
[15:01:30] <atmega> what software?
[15:02:10] <Jymmm> none really, just use Corel Draw like everything else I send to the laser.
[15:02:24] <atmega> oh, the laser does all of it?
[15:02:34] <Jymmm> Corel Draw is the "industry standard" for laser engravers.
[15:02:49] <atmega> I've seen that on the ebay laser engravers... wonder why.
[15:02:50] <Jymmm> Yeah, it just acts like a printer.
[15:03:01] <Jymmm> atmega: seen what?
[15:03:27] <atmega> taht they all mention corel draw
[15:04:09] <Jymmm> ah, yeah. Corel Draw is used for laser engravers, embroidery machines, vinyl cutters, etc.

[16:07:04] <mrsun> what mode should the parport be in for running stuff with emc? :)
[16:08:12] <JT-Shop> wow it is up to 45F here in the shop now
[16:08:20] <JT-Shop> mode?
[16:08:23] <SWPadnos> if you're using the parallel port directly (ie, no pluto, pico, or Mesa card attached), then any mode should work
[16:08:49] <Jymmm> I thought ECP didn't work, only EPP (or something like that)
[16:09:09] <SWPadnos> "SPP" might be best, since it may enable stronger drivers and/or push-pull outputs, rather than some other thing that's necessary for bidirectional data transfer (which you don't need)
[16:09:17] <SWPadnos> if you have some other hardware, then EPP is the mode you want
[16:09:38] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Ah, finally got rid of the 6" of snow in the shop, huh?
[16:10:19] <SWPadnos> heh. we're supposed to have a high of -3 on Sunday. I'm pretty sure I won't be doing anything in the garage ;)
[16:10:54] <JT-Shop> most of it Jymmm
[16:11:12] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: You could install the AC in the shop =)
[16:11:23] <SWPadnos> yeah, I'd just turn it around
[16:11:25] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: didnt you cover the roof?
[16:11:37] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: Well, that actually might work
[16:11:57] <SWPadnos> probably not - they're not meant to freeze up (ironically enough)
[16:12:10] <SWPadnos> I could crank up the kerosene heater though
[16:12:14] <SWPadnos> and/or electrics
[16:12:16] <Jymmm> indoors?
[16:12:24] <SWPadnos> sure, just crack a window
[16:12:35] <Jymmm> really?
[16:12:35] <SWPadnos> there's still a net gain
[16:12:50] <SWPadnos> but since I have a ton of accounting work to do, I think I'll just skip it
[16:13:05] <Jymmm> or a net loss if you consider the CO levels
[16:13:13] <SWPadnos> eh. it hasn't killed me yet
[16:13:38] <Jymmm> you sure about that? you DO eat like a zombie, and that would explain a few things.

[16:19:39] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: duct tape and bailing wire?
[16:19:47] <JT-Shop> got that
[16:19:54] <Jymmm> tarp it!
[16:20:11] <atmega> rwijbenga: I just plugged mine in and pretty much used the defaults
[16:20:43] <rwijbenga> What did you use for the motor timming's ?
[16:21:05] <skunkworks> stupid question - when I do the emc enviroment... I use . ./scripts/emc-enviroment in the list someone said . scripts/emc-environment which doesn't work for me.
[16:21:08] <atmega> I used whatever preset had the write pinouts and whatever timings were in there
[16:21:18] <atmega> err... right pinouts
[16:22:05] <rwijbenga> ok... gonna try it.. :)

[16:28:01] <rwijbenga> Jymm: I have set it with the dipp switches to 100%... maybe wrong dip settings ?
[16:28:35] <Jymmm> since what I can read says it uses resistors, I'd say so. but I don't have/find a manual for it either.
[16:29:14] <Jymmm> TB6560 is a chipset, so what board your have is beyond me.
[16:29:43] <atmega> I was assuming the generic chinese TB6560 boards from ebay and the like

[16:42:54] <mrsun> how many ways can you make a parport header cable in ...
[16:44:20] <rwijbenga> What is a good priced stepper board to start with then?

[16:47:33] <rwijbenga> I am gonna go over all the dipswitch combinations... maybe that give's me some more result's ...
[16:47:46] <atmega> if you don't need big motors, that one should work fine.
[16:48:27] <mrsun> oh 18-25 is gnd
[16:48:30] <mrsun> then it might not matter anywasy
[16:49:05] <rwijbenga> atmega: hmm.. Gonna experiment a bit more tonight....
[16:49:08] <mrsun> but on the d510mo mobo the 25 cable is "select"
[16:49:48] <mrsun> nothing is like it should be :/
[16:50:36] <atmega> rwijbenga: I used mine for a while but wanted bigger motors so I got a xylotex... I probably wouldn't do that again, but the price for motors+board+ps seemed reasonable at the time
[16:51:01] <psha> mrsun: it's lpt header is numbered not as DB-25 pins
[16:51:30] <mrsun> psha, humm, how do you mean? :)
[16:51:38] <mrsun> shouldnt 1 go to 1 on the db-25 ? :)
[16:52:26] <psha> 1 to 1 - yes ;)
[16:52:34] <psha> but 2 to 13 i guess, not to 2
[16:52:37] <rwijbenga> atmega: gonna look into that... It is just a hobby for me..
[16:52:39] <psha> or to 14
[16:53:11] <psha> to 14
[16:53:36] <psha> pins on LPT port are numbered 1-13 'big' row, then 14-25 'small' row

[16:59:58] <psha> that's key :)
[17:00:00] <mrsun> im getting excellent numbers in the latency test, then i move the mouse .. blam
[17:00:09] <mrsun> jumps up like 5000 :P
[17:00:29] <psha> heh, d510mo latency is in 5k-10k range
[17:01:28] <atmega> that's much better than mine
[17:02:02] <skunkworks> that is probably with isolcpus
[17:02:13] <skunkworks> (5k-10k)
[17:02:23] <skunkworks> I was getting close to 20k without
[17:02:46] <skunkworks> well - with the atom 330
[17:03:27] <psha> skunkworks: yes, with isolcpus
[17:03:48] <atmega> is there a disadvantage to that?
[17:03:49] <psha> no reason not to enable it on 2-core processor :)
[17:03:55] <psha> atmega: no, only advantages
[17:04:14] <psha> you won't get any processing boost if you'll get small part of second core
[17:04:27] <psha> but you'll suffer from lot of context switches
[17:04:37] <psha> since rt tasks would not be bound to one core
[17:04:44] <psha> but they'll float between them
[17:04:54] <mrsun> psha, when running wlan on it i get 11k
[17:05:13] <psha> mrsun: sure, latency depends on perfepherial, not on cpu :)
[17:05:28] <mrsun> but 11k seems to be the top end
[17:05:31] <mrsun> whatever i do
[17:05:56] <psha> mine was ~11k with havy load on network, graphics and IO
[17:06:10] <psha> without network it's much better

[17:26:31] <awallin_> mrsun: so actually you are not looking for a CAM program, you want a CAD or 3D modeler?
[17:26:42] <mrsun> awallin_, no cam ...
[17:26:52] <mrsun> as in i need to change the values a great deal to make the pieces fit
[17:27:06] <mrsun> and not being able to tab then have to click outside and the list resets itself to the top is QUITE annoying =)
[17:27:22] <mrsun> cad/cam then
[17:27:28] <mrsun> so i can draw the parts and generate toolpaths for them
[17:27:28] <mrsun> :P
[17:27:41] <awallin_> skunkworks: I'm not sure what actually useful stuff you can do with a 3D printer. for demos and toys it's ok...
[17:28:36] <mrsun> and not being able to undo something and have to save my own copies over and overa gain to be able to step back is also ... :/
[17:28:50] <mrsun> imo stuff like that should be concentrated at not adding a billion more ways to cut stuff =)
[17:29:03] <mrsun> ofc the ways to cut stuffs is nice also =)
[17:29:10] <skunkworks> awallin_: I think they are neat to watch... but I would probably never make one.
[17:29:32] <skunkworks> too many other projects
[17:30:12] <awallin_> putting together something for cad/cam requires knowing the gui-toolkit (qt,wx, whatever), the 3D toolkit (opengl, vtk, opencascade etc) and the cam-libraries. not easy for one person to do everything just as a hobby...
[17:30:25] <awallin_> did freeCAD also use opencascade?

[17:32:57] <pcw_home> a little Rube Goldberg maybe
[17:33:11] <pcw_home> umm...
[17:33:16] <skunkworks> :)
[17:33:21] <skunkworks> quick - quick!
[17:35:21] <skunkworks> I came up with 24000rpm - but if I did it wrong and it was 1/4 of that - it is still 6000 rpm...
[17:35:28] <pcw_home> with 15 counts the 5I20 will count around 4 MHz 5000 lines = 20000 counts /rev so 200 revs.sec = 12K RPM,
[17:35:40] <skunkworks> oh good
[17:36:08] <skunkworks> Thank you
[17:37:12] <pcw_home> but you need some margin for out of square error on the encoder so maybe 8K would be more realistic
[17:37:14] <pcw_home> (most hi-res encoders will not run this fast however, thier front end analog circuitry is too slow)
[17:37:22] <skunkworks> how do you get 4mhz? I thought it would be 33mhz/15 or around 2.2mhz
[17:39:37] <pcw_home> the input filters take 15 counts (15X 30 ns = 450 ns) but they do not filter quadrature but rather the input square waves so 2X 2.2 MHz square waves = 4.4 MHz quadrature count rate
[17:40:10] <skunkworks> these say that the 1 MHz for CPR 5001 to 10,000
[17:40:29] <skunkworks> pcw_home: ah - neat

[17:43:54] <pcw_home> Does CPR = quadrature counts per rev? a 5000 line encoder would be 20000 CPR in that case
[17:44:00] <skunkworks> right
[17:45:38] <pcw_home> with a 10000 CPR encoder 1 MHz count rate would be 6000 RPM
[17:46:18] <skunkworks> I can handle that!

[17:49:28] -!- mhaberler has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[17:52:53] <pcw_home> I notice I was wrong up above: 4.4 MHz count rate is 2X 1.1 MHz square waves (A, B filter need minimum 450 nS high, 450 nS low)

[18:09:40] <IchGuckLive> only problem i got wars the out move changed from emc2 2.4.3 to 2.4.4 the Z move did also CRC correction
[18:10:23] <IchGuckLive> mrsun did you compile it today ?
[18:10:28] <mrsun> yes

[18:22:32] <IchGuckLive> it takes up to 30min to compile from bottom
[18:22:53] <mrsun> right
[18:23:11] <mrsun> the heekscad/cnc compilation takes like 3 minutes :P

[18:23:18] <IchGuckLive> you got to remove the Synaptic packet first ! then go to /Usr/lib delete the heekscnc folder

[18:25:22] <skunkworks> I don't know what the technology is.. (I really doubt it is a disk)
[18:25:35] <skunkworks> but for that price I figured it would be a nice experiemet
[18:25:54] <awallin_> resolver?
[18:26:04] <mrsun> IchGuckLive, just keeps crashing, and i cant figure out why =)
[18:26:23] <mrsun> trying to recompile it all :/
[18:26:26] <mrsun> once again
[18:26:41] <IchGuckLive> mrsun try if profile works
[18:28:24] -!- mhaberler has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
[18:28:33] <mrsun> yes i can add it but nothing happends when i press post process
[18:29:25] <mrsun> oh well
[18:29:28] <mrsun> have to go walk the dog
[18:29:32] <skunkworks> awallin_: not sure... it outputs quadature + index.
[18:29:35] <mrsun> gonna take it all from the beginning once again when i get home
[18:29:36] <IchGuckLive> By i check it
[18:29:40] <mrsun> need to get it working =)
[18:29:41] <skunkworks> awallin_: http://www.encoder.com/literature/datasheet-15th.pdf
[18:30:02] <awallin_> skunkworks: u,v,w are maybe hall signals for commutation of a 3-phase motor
[18:30:33] <skunkworks> yes - but these are for 10 pole motors (something I wasn't planning on using)
[18:30:43] <skunkworks> (how ever that works ;)
[18:31:13] <awallin_> 10 electrical revolutions per one mechanical. or something like that :)
[18:32:07] <skunkworks> they say they are disk.. wow
[18:32:44] <skunkworks> Special disk resolutions are available upon request and may be subject to a one-time NRE fee.
[18:33:27] <awallin_> the amt ones are capacitive I think
[18:33:38] <awallin_> they are 15-20 eur/usd from digikey I think
[18:34:00] <skunkworks> yes - I have a few of those.
[18:34:54] <skunkworks> used one here for spindle motor feedback http://www.electronicsam.com/images/KandT/conversion/spindle/Spindlemotorenc.JPG
[18:35:03] <skunkworks> seems to work well for that.

[21:41:16] <seb_kuzminsky> what should happen when i hit F9 in axis in 2.4? should the spindle come on in clockwise, at the most recently set S-word spindle speed?
[21:43:57] <skunkworks> if it is simialar to the spindle start buttons - it starts the spindle at like s1
[21:44:07] <skunkworks> (in the manual tab of axis)
[21:44:20] <seb_kuzminsky> ah, s1 is the expected behavior, just not by me ;-)
[21:44:25] <skunkworks> heh
[21:44:53] <skunkworks> when I am starting a spindle - I usually do a SwhateverM3 in mdi ;)
[21:45:14] <seb_kuzminsky> the speed control on my machine is by a human twisting the varispeed knob, and f9 just turns it on or off
[21:45:35] <seb_kuzminsky> mdi Smumble M3 sounds like the way to go, thanks :-)

[21:47:05] <skunkworks> I would think hitting f9 and then twisthing the varispeed knob would work.
[21:47:13] <seb_kuzminsky> it does :-)
[21:47:33] <skunkworks> heh
[21:47:35] <seb_kuzminsky> i just got confused by my machine
[21:47:48] <seb_kuzminsky> i've got no speed control in emc2, it's manual
[21:48:02] <seb_kuzminsky> so axis setting S to 1 when you hit F9 has no effect on my machine
[21:48:19] <seb_kuzminsky> on my machine, F9 returns you to the last speed you had
[21:48:49] <seb_kuzminsky> which is kind of nice, but (as i now understand thanks to you) non-standard :-)
[21:52:26] <atmega> mine does that also
[22:14:27] <JT-Shop> if you goto help/quick reference you can see what all the keys do
[22:14:41] <JT-Shop> in Axis
