[00:39:28] <cradek> Emcrules_Laptop: you can do that, somewhat, by adding tcl code in .axisrc
[00:39:41] <cradek> it is fragile, though, and if you break it you get to keep both halves.
[00:40:04] <cradek> the shortcut keys are well thought out in order to not conflict with one another. it would be best if you would not try to change them, especially if you are not an experienced tcl programmer.
[00:40:43] <Emcrules_Laptop> Just want to remove the feed override mapping
[00:41:36] <Emcrules_Laptop> and perhap map keys to jog+ and jog- if possible
[00:42:49] <Guest63696> Is there a complete list of keyboard shortcuts?
[00:42:59] <Emcrules_Laptop> yes in axix
[00:43:03] <Emcrules_Laptop> axis
[00:43:04] <cradek> yes check the help menu

[00:43:21] <cradek> which is where Emcrules_Laptop can find the keys for jogging the active axis
[00:44:00] <skunkworks> Emcrules_Laptop: this solves a lot of problems :)
http://www.electronicsam.com/images/KandT/conversion/panel/startfront.JPG
[00:44:00] <Guest63696> Is that available off line? I'm away from the emc computer and would liek to print it out.
[00:44:09] <cradek> no I don't think so
[00:44:30] <Guest63696> To the source then, I suppose.
[00:44:42] <cradek> skunkworks: that's not really a thing of beauty though, is it?
[00:45:11] <Emcrules_Laptop> Skunkworks I have that allready in a hand held form
[00:45:53] <Emcrules_Laptop> What i want to do is use a bunch of 4 x 4 keypad matrix attached to a pokeys55 usb board.
[00:46:10] <cradek> actually you probably want to use halui instead
[00:46:21] <cradek> you don't have to pretend to be a keyboard with emc. that's a crappy way to do it.
[00:46:38] <cradek> what if you have another window on top for instance?
[00:47:07] <cradek> check out halui and hal_input
[00:47:35] <skunkworks> cradek: It is a work in progress ;)
[00:47:49] <cradek> skunkworks: a nontransparent panel would be progress! :-)
[00:48:03] <Emcrules_Laptop> I wanted something quick if i go halui i would have to work on the hidcomp to get the functionality
[00:48:05] <skunkworks> :)
[00:48:17] <cradek> I bet hal_input will read your pokeys
[00:48:45] <jthornton> I've used the pokeys and it works
[00:48:52] <Emcrules_Laptop> you think so i need to drop big john T a line as i think he is using one
[00:49:00] <cradek> haha
[00:49:02] <skunkworks> heh
[00:49:23] <jthornton> it's going to be a long day MIL flight was canceled and she is on the 11pm one now
[00:49:28] <jthornton> heh
[00:49:37] <cradek> yeah - don't think of it as a keyboard - that approach is very poor and for software that only knows about keyboards
[00:49:47] <cradek> it may give you lots of nice inputs to use with hal/halui
[00:50:06] <jthornton> it's like a game pad with lots of cool i/o
[00:50:26] <skunkworks> jthornton: is this the thing with analog ins and outs?
[00:50:29] <skunkworks> also?
[00:50:35] <jthornton> yes, 4 I think
[00:50:47] <skunkworks> do those show up in hal_input?
[00:50:51] <jthornton> yep
[00:51:08] <Emcrules_Laptop> yes I totaly agree with you just wanted it to function right away while i played around with hal
[00:51:11] <jthornton> you have to program it in winblows
[00:51:12] <skunkworks> Emcrules_Laptop: ^ there you go :)
[00:51:32] <Emcrules_Laptop> well thats solved then
[00:51:51] <Emcrules_Laptop> do the encoder inputs get passed thru?
[00:52:00] <jthornton> you can borrow mine if BJT won't let you use his :)
[00:52:49] <Emcrules_Laptop> pastebin? or email?
[00:53:22] <skunkworks> I hear BJT is hard to get along with though
[00:53:29] <jthornton> yea
[00:53:33] <cradek> kind of a jerk
[00:53:41] <skunkworks> ;)
[00:53:42] <jthornton> that's what I heard too
[00:53:43] <cradek> and I hear he's ugly, too
[00:53:51] <Emcrules_Laptop> lol i get it
[00:54:01] <jthornton> there is no doubt about that
[00:54:58] <jthornton> it's been a bit but I had a pot connected to it and was moving the FO up and down using the direct-input
[00:55:34] <skunkworks> sounds like a neat deal for non realtime control of things.
[00:55:37] <jthornton> anyone want to drive to St. Louis and pick up my MIL?
[00:55:55] <Tom_itx> only if i can keep it
[00:55:57] <jthornton> skunkworks: yea, I just need to get off my ass and plug it into the Hardinge
[00:55:58] <skunkworks> I know someone in springfield... that is pretty close...
[00:56:03] <Emcrules_Laptop> ill get right on it
[00:56:03] <cradek> MIL or mill?
[00:56:09] <jthornton> MIL
[00:56:13] <skunkworks> mother in law?
[00:56:16] <jthornton> yes
[00:56:21] <cradek> how likely does that seem to you?
[00:56:22] <skunkworks> heh
[00:56:54] <jthornton> her flight from Miami got canceled... we found out after we drove 3 hrs to St. Louis to pick her up
[00:57:15] <jthornton> so they put her on the 11pm flight :/
[00:57:18] <Tom_itx> mils are such a pita
[00:57:23] <jthornton> going to be a long day
[00:57:37] <jthornton> no, she is nice and cleans everything you leave out
[00:58:21] <skunkworks> guns and such?
[00:58:23] <jthornton> I think this is her last trip to Puerto Rico, she is 84 and is starting to loose her memory :(
[00:58:41] <jthornton> anything you leave out gets cleaned
[00:59:05] <jthornton> she won't come in the beer cave but leave it in the kitchen and it gets washed :)
[00:59:33] * jthornton heads back to St. Louis now
[00:59:39] <jthornton> you guys have a fun evening
[00:59:47] <cradek> safe trip
[00:59:48] <skunkworks> drive save!
[00:59:49] <Emcrules_Laptop> you too
[01:00:55] <Emcrules_Laptop> thanks fot the info!!
[01:02:06] <skunkworks> cradek: are you running a 1ms servo loop? or faster?
[01:02:18] <skunkworks> on the jr
[01:02:31] <cradek> 1ms looks like
[01:03:06] <cradek> using the mesa velocity to pid ddt input did more for stability than a faster loop
[01:03:29] <skunkworks> yah - I hooked them up also - seemed to really smooth things out.
[01:05:03] <cradek> it got rid of the buzz at stop that I sometimes had
[01:05:26] <skunkworks> so - did imagebin.ca finally die?
[01:05:33] <cradek> hm, not sure
[01:07:14] <skunkworks> I have tried it over the last few weeks and nothing. Must be
[01:09:06] <skunkworks> cradek:
http://www.electronicsam.com/images/KandT/conversion/testing/oops.JPG
[01:09:28] <cradek> might wanna move Z first
[01:09:31] <skunkworks> didn't break a sweat. hit the estop before the thing f-errored
[01:09:53] <cradek> those threads might not work anymore
[01:10:02] <skunkworks> :)
[01:10:33] <skunkworks> it was when it was mounted up. the spindle was going down and z was coming in.
[01:10:37] <cradek> are you going to make/get a probe for this thing? seems like even more of a pain to use an edgefinder/etc with a vertical
[01:10:48] -!-
tlab has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[01:10:50] <cradek> than with
[01:10:58] <skunkworks> cradek: yes - that is on the to - do list
[01:11:01] <cradek> cool
[01:11:06] <cradek> you'll never go back!
[01:11:09] <skunkworks> heh
[01:11:19] <skunkworks> are you probing though a opto22 input?
[01:11:20] <cradek> I've still broken 0 probe tips... (I have no spare)
[01:11:26] <cradek> yes but a special fast module
[01:11:35] <skunkworks> yes - I think we have a few of those
[01:11:35] <Emcrules_Laptop> If you use renishaw CMM probes i have an adaptor that will use there stylus
[01:11:36] <cradek> K, maybe?
[01:12:07] <skunkworks> I would have to look -
[01:13:02] <skunkworks> but you are still limited to 1ms servo cycle right? would it be better to use a fast thread and maybe the printer port input?
[01:13:20] <skunkworks> for faster probing?
[01:13:30] <skunkworks> not that we move that fast.....
[01:13:35] <cradek> if you want faster probing it should be an encoder capture in the mesa card, just like index
[01:13:50] <cradek> I just probe fast, then slow enough for around 1 count/servo cycle
[01:13:58] <cradek> I back off .003 or so
[01:14:13] <skunkworks> ah
[01:14:20] <Emcrules_Laptop> probe looks like this
http://imagebin.org/134409 then i made a simple holder with a pogopin in the center
[01:14:24] <cradek> jepler had most of the fast probing working - pcw is interested in it too - but it's kind of complex and we weren't sure about it all
[01:14:38] <skunkworks> cradek: I remember that.
[01:14:38] <cradek> it's so easy to crash a probe if you give someone's program a wrong result
[01:14:41] <cradek> SERVO_PERIOD = 1000000
[01:14:43] <cradek> oops
[01:15:14] <cradek> Emcrules_Laptop: that thing in your fingeres is the whole probe switch?
[01:15:25] <Emcrules_Laptop> pretty much
[01:15:32] <cradek> I have an MP700 which is huuuuuge
[01:15:49] <cradek> (wireless though, which is nice for my tool changer)
[01:16:04] <Emcrules_Laptop> the adapter just allows for the circuit path
[01:16:26] <Emcrules_Laptop> its magnetic as well so harder to crash
[01:17:27] <Emcrules_Laptop> however if it crashes iin the z direction its toast
[01:17:37] <skunkworks> I was just thinking that.. ;)
[01:19:02] <Emcrules_Laptop> http://imagebin.org/134408 here's my pedastal controller im working on
[01:19:43] <skunkworks> that looks like a job for touchy!
[01:20:28] <skunkworks> that looks really nice
[01:21:22] <cradek> you can kind of see my panel here, running touchy:
http://timeguy.com/cradek-files/emc/jr.jpg
[01:22:24] <Emcrules_Laptop> yeah it turns out that home depot sell open frame lcd monitor kits for 10 bucks
[01:22:32] <cradek> neat

Guest6248 has quit [Quit: Visitor from www.linuxcnc.org]
[01:23:50] <Emcrules_Laptop> cradek: nice machine did you use an overlay for the screen?
[01:24:02] <cradek> no it's a real panel mount touchscreen
[01:24:15] <cradek> glass, surface wave acoustic, I think it's called
[01:24:17] <cradek> it's really great
[01:25:46] <cradek> ah my probe is in that picture - above the screen
[01:25:49] <Emcrules_Laptop> is that a RF probe or optical?
[01:25:51] <cradek> now it's in the tool changer
[01:25:54] <cradek> optical
[01:26:04] <cradek> you can see the sensor between the spindle and screen
[01:26:18] <cradek> looking down at the table, sort of
[01:26:49] <Emcrules_Laptop> ah there it is. are you using scales on you machine as well or just motor feedback?
[01:27:06] <cradek> no, motors and encoders are directly on the screws, micron resolution
[01:27:21] <skunkworks> have I asked this before? what is the analog meter for?
[01:27:27] <cradek> spindle load
[01:27:32] <skunkworks> neat
[01:27:36] <cradek> not hooked up yet - lazy
[01:27:43] <skunkworks> ok - now I remember that :)
[01:27:46] <cradek> haha
[01:28:05] <skunkworks> I think our vfd also has 1ma output for load.. have to look
[01:28:15] <cradek> yep something like that
[01:28:24] <cradek> I think it'll work if I wire it and dig in the vfd manual long enough
[01:28:31] <cradek> it's off the old control
[01:28:38] <cradek> that and the wheel survived the change :-)
[01:29:01] <Emcrules_Laptop> what was the old control?
[01:29:11] <cradek> yasnac
[01:29:18] <cradek> early 80s?
[01:29:44] <Emcrules_Laptop> id love to get my hands on a machine that size!!
[01:29:58] <cradek> the guy the machine came from kept the boards for spares as his - his currently isn't working, even with the spare boards. waiting on an emc2 retrofit.
[01:30:27] <cradek> it's a really good machine. no slop anywhere. huge ballscrews, all linear rail
[01:30:44] <Emcrules_Laptop> Kick myself in the ass every day i had a OKK 630 VMC given to me and i sold it
[01:30:45] <cradek> fast and strong amps and motors
[01:30:58] <Emcrules_Laptop> What kind of amps?
[01:31:17] <cradek> yaskawa
[01:31:29] <cradek> with low inertia motors
[01:31:38] <Emcrules_Laptop> nice!!
[01:35:11] <skunkworks> we where jogging the z axis back and forth .001 with the wheel - we could not see any backlash. (but that was with a .001 dial - we where scared to get out the .0001)

[01:41:59] <cradek> whoah, blast from the past
[01:42:29] <cradek> I think I wanted to use a table with dos acad under qemu, which didn't do serial ports well
[01:42:44] <cradek> I've got various tablets - not sure which one I was working on.
[01:44:22] <Emcrules_Laptop> Ah the only reason why i ask is thats all a friend of mine uses for acad he will not let go of it. He got me so used to it that i want one for solidworks but that will never happen.

[12:33:45] <jared__> hi
[12:33:45] <the_wench> hello jared__, you have a question?
[12:34:00] <jared__> not quite yet
[12:34:08] <jared__> bot?
[12:34:19] <cradek> yeah, it is
[12:34:41] <jared__> good deal.
[12:34:49] <cradek> new folks can be shy about saying what they need
[12:34:53] <jared__> i installed emc just two minutes ago
[12:34:58] <jared__> and already i'm impressed
[12:35:02] <cradek> it's a very imperfect solution though
[12:35:05] <cradek> great
[12:35:19] <jared__> i do alot of prototyping
[12:35:26] <jared__> trying to improve shop throughput
[12:35:44] <jared__> this might end up on a dedicated machine just for verifying programs
[12:36:06] <jared__> playing with it at home before i show it to the boss
[12:36:11] <cradek> the real benefit is when it matches your machines' controls!
[12:36:20] <cradek> yeah it's nice to use to validate stuff.
[12:36:29] <jared__> yeah, there's support for the idea of replacing our controller
[12:36:48] <jared__> but i'm not sure if that's a project i have time/knowledge for
[12:37:17] <jared__> i'm really jerked off that Haas want's $2,000 for the ability to use conditional logic
[12:38:27] <cradek> you can build up the knowledge - lots and lots of expertise here
[12:38:27] <cradek> I have to run - work calls - hang around and see what happens.
[12:38:27] <cradek> heh yeah $2k (and time) will replace your control
[12:38:47] <jared__> right on
[12:39:52] <cradek> then you and your shop have the power over your machine - not haas

[12:41:35] <jared__> the company is totally supportive of whatever i want to do

[12:42:05] <jared__> like workholding
[12:42:32] <jared__> but i think in the 6months-1 year time frame
[12:42:35] <jared__> something will happen
[12:42:50] <jared__> either haas will get money
[12:42:54] <jared__> or i'll build a control
[12:43:07] <jared__> the only bonus to the haas route is not having the machine down

[13:12:15] <Tom_itx> what type of parts?

[13:15:20] <Tom_itx> yeah, i'm just saying they both have a place and knowing that is key
[13:16:02] <jared__> i use the cnc for stuff that the design is likely to iterate

http://www.optimum-maschinen.de/produkte/fraesmaschinen/wf20vario/index.html
[16:35:06] <awallin_> I am looking for a small/mid-size manual machine, probably with dro, but not for cnc-conversion...
[16:37:27] <tom3p> the pdf links are broken, did you get the specs?
[16:38:43] <awallin_> there are numbers at the bottom of the page
[16:39:16] <cpresser> awallin_: i just spoke to a friend today. he uses a lathe from optimum.
[16:39:58] <cpresser> he is not that satisfied with the machine: it has backlash, and the feed per relevation is some ugly number. not like 10mm or 1inch
[16:40:25] <cpresser> but this was about a slighly older lathe, not the machine you just asked about
[16:40:34] <cradek> I've seen harbor freight machines with 1/16 inch/rev

[16:49:46] <cradek> you have to do that with R8, but just a little tap
[16:56:31] <tom3p> wow 5500$ and the pdfs for the manual version are here

[16:57:27] <cradek> wow new machines are expensive
[16:58:50] <skunkworks> that would buy one heck of a used cnc.. ;)
[16:58:51] <awallin_> pdf has 750W and website 1.5kW for the spindle...
[16:59:29] <awallin_> skunkworks: ya, but it's got to be about 700-1000mm wide, theres not much more space in the workshop
[16:59:40] <skunkworks> ah

[17:02:56] <awallin_> a finnish company developed this:

[19:14:39] <andypugh> A question that a friend asked me earlier: How can he tell, from a script running on a linux eeePC (running from batteries) if mains power is on. My idea is a mains-powered relay doing something to a modem status line. But I have no idea how to read that in bash or python.
[19:15:08] <cradek> cat /proc/acpi/something
[19:15:21] <cradek> dig around in there until you find something relevant
[19:15:26] <cradek> or, relavent
[19:19:55] <atmega> try acpitool
[19:20:30] <andypugh> I might have been unclear. The eePC is on a boat and connected to the boat batteries by a car-charger. He wants to monitor if shore power is on. acpi won't show anything until the boat battery is dead, and that's no help.
[19:21:47] <atmega> how about a mains powered relay with the contact connected to a modem status line.
[19:23:20] <atmega> wonder if you could connect it to CD and have a getty deal with it out of init
[19:26:25] <andypugh> I am not sure what the pinout is of a modem connector
[19:27:24] <andypugh> I suspect that the socket on the machine is the "wrong end"
[19:27:38] <atmega> on a DB9, 1 is CD, 4 is DTR
[19:28:02] <atmega> you could enable DTR, run from there through the relay, back to CD
[19:28:41] <andypugh> Isn't that the port to connect a modem, though, rather than the port on the modem? I think all he has is the RJ45 (or whatever it actually is)
[19:29:44] <atmega> that's just an internal modem
[19:30:08] <andypugh> Indeed. Which I suspect is less useful.
[19:31:02] <atmega> probably
[19:31:38] <andypugh> My first idea was a transformer from the mains into the microphone socket.
[19:31:55] <andypugh> But then we couldn't work out how to access that.
[19:31:57] <atmega> hook a buzzer up to the relay, hire someone to push a key when the buzzer goes off

[19:35:40] <andypugh> A poKeys is overkill, but would work. As would an Arduino
[19:36:14] <atmega> an AVR is usually the answer.

[20:40:00] <mrsunshine_> 150W motor is a bit low powered for a mill isnt it?

[21:20:28] <mrsunshine_> andypugh, hehe =)
[21:20:35] <mrsunshine_> was what i was thinking also :P
[21:21:07] <mrsunshine_> as the motor is 150W on the sieg x1 mill, sure with the downgear to 2000rpm from 4000 it gains more torque but i want atleast the 4000 :P
[21:21:34] <mrsunshine_> and problem is speed controlling it, dc motor .. atleast with the driver in the sieg the torque is lost at lower speeds

[21:50:05] <mrsunshine_> think about 400W would suffice a bit?

[23:13:36] <danimal_garage> hi
[23:13:36] <the_wench> hello danimal_garage, you have a question?
[23:14:31] <danimal_garage> yea, i'm affraid i'm a bit rusty with EMC2 and i'm trying to convert my stepper machine to servo, and i'm having a problem
[23:14:52] <danimal_garage> i do not think i'm getting an analog 10v out
[23:15:47] <danimal_garage> i'm using the mesa 7i33ta and a 5i20
[23:16:07] <danimal_garage> encoder feedback and enable is working
[23:16:13] <andypugh> Talking to the_wench is a sign of madness :-)
[23:16:43] <cpresser> how should anybody know that it is a bot?
[23:16:44] <danimal_garage> lol it's been a while, the wrench wasnt here before
[23:17:19] <andypugh> cpresser: Aye, I am not sure that having it pipe up sounding helpful is a good plan
[23:17:45] <cpresser> its nice, but useless
[23:17:48] <danimal_garage> what pin/signal or whatever i should check in halscope to see if the analog +-10v is working?
[23:21:52] <andypugh> does anyone else get a stupid message from sweetbriar design any time they post to the emc-users list?
[23:22:49] <danimal_garage> also, my gpio doesnt seem to be working, however all i did was copy/paste stuff from my old hal and ini, i might have an issue somewhere there
[23:23:34] <danimal_garage> not sure it's related, but i wouldnt think so as the 7i33 appears to be working
[23:24:46] <andypugh> I don't think you can see the PWM or analogue in Halscope
[23:25:46] <danimal_garage> i'd check it with a meter, but i dont know how since it gets a following error right away

[23:25:58] <danimal_garage> i guess i can put in a huge following error

[23:35:20] <danimal_garage> i just upped the ferror to like an inch and i am getting zero volts from the analog output
[23:35:32] <danimal_garage> when i try and feed
[23:35:49] <andypugh> is there a PWM.enable that isn't set?
[23:35:58] <danimal_garage> amp is enabled and motor is holding
[23:36:10] <danimal_garage> hmm i dunno
[23:36:32] <danimal_garage> i'm working with the sample 5i20 config for servos
[23:37:22] <andypugh> Do you see anything with the 10V wires disconnected?
[23:38:27] <andypugh> (and does a 1.5V battery on the 10V input spin the motor?)
[23:39:03] <danimal_garage> havent checked, but i will
[23:40:51] <danimal_garage> how about the pwmgen output type?
[23:44:13] <andypugh> I doubt it matters
[23:44:22] <danimal_garage> hmm
[23:45:20] <andypugh> You are looking at the right pwmgen?
[23:46:47] -!-
CraigW76 has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[23:46:58] <andypugh> You certainly need to check the 5i20.0.pwmgen.00.enable pin value in Show Hal Cinfiguration

[23:53:15] <JT-Shop> danimal_garage: yea, the first thing I'd want to know is which end to focus on... the 1.5v battery can eliminate 50%
[23:53:52] <danimal_garage> hi Jt, how goes it?
[23:54:34] <danimal_garage> i'll see if i can find a bettery
[23:55:03] <andypugh> Or a psu. 5V from anywhere would work, but be careful
[23:55:29] <danimal_garage> my only psu is 75a, i dont want to use that lol
[23:56:04] <andypugh> Use 5V from a USB port?
[23:56:37] <JT-Shop> I'm a tired puppy today
[23:58:47] <danimal_garage> i tried the 5v from the 7i33, it didnt move
[23:59:04] <danimal_garage> hmm
[23:59:12] <JT-Shop> does your drive need an enable?
[23:59:18] <danimal_garage> it is enabled
[23:59:36] <danimal_garage> there's an led "e" on the drive
