[01:09:35] <Valen> any of you guys milled glass?
[01:09:40] <Valen> as in propper machining ;->
[01:15:48] <i_tarzan> it is grinding
[01:17:00] <atmega> Grizzly once again refused my order and told me to try again April 29.
[01:18:44] <Valen> they don't want your money I guess
[01:19:18] <Valen> i_tarzan: thing is if I search grinding its all people talking about doing the edges of the glass
[01:19:26] <Valen> I want to cut gears
[01:19:54] <atmega> mold them?
[01:21:59] <Valen> need to melt glass then
[01:22:11] <Valen> thats another new skill and a whole bunch of equipment lol
[01:38:16] <elmo40> atmega: what is it you want from grizzly?
[01:38:32] <atmega> a G0704
[01:38:43] <elmo40> Valen: plus, you can use the smelter to melt Al or Copper :)

[01:46:19] <Emcrules_Laptop> Lucid is not loading the desktop manager for me!! Any ideas on how to fix?
[01:46:55] <Emcrules_Laptop> Sorry bad terminology "window manager"
[01:47:05] <atmega> is X starting?

[01:52:05] <Emcrules_Laptop> atmega. How would i know. not that savy with linux yet
[01:52:22] <atmega> anything at all on the screen?
[01:52:41] <toastydeath> when raw X starts you get like, a X for a cursor and a black/white checkerboard desktop
[01:53:09] <Emcrules_Laptop> yes just but all windows are missing the minimize and close buttons
[01:53:25] <Emcrules_Laptop> and no programs listed under applications
[01:53:48] <Emcrules_Laptop> cant get to a terminal window
[01:53:59] <atmega> have you rebooted?
[01:54:06] <Emcrules_Laptop> yep 5 times
[01:54:28] <atmega> try ctrl-alt-f1 and see if anything interesting is on that VT
[01:54:39] <Emcrules_Laptop> apparently others have had this issue on the ubuntu fourms
[01:54:40] <atmega> you can get back to X with alt-f7
[01:54:43] <Emcrules_Laptop> will try
[01:55:56] <Emcrules_Laptop> that works takes me back and fourth
[01:56:30] <atmega> login on that vt, look in the logfiles for anything obviouis?
[01:56:47] <atmega> anything in dmesg?
[01:57:31] <Emcrules_Laptop> failed to run component messages
[01:58:52] <Emcrules_Laptop> dmesg ran about 10 pages worth of stuff
[02:00:17] <atmega> anything interesting near the end? what component messages?
[02:01:26] <atmega> you can reboot, pick recovery mode, one of teh options is 'try to fix X' dunno if that will help with just a WM problem though
[02:04:06] -!- Ekken [Ekken!ekke@xob.kapsi.fi] has joined #emc

[02:05:20] <Emcrules_Laptop> I ran metacity from a launcher
[02:08:24] <atmega> did you just run updates or something?
[02:09:01] <Emcrules_Laptop> no this is a clean instal from live cd

[03:20:37] <cradek> wow, kirk w is sure doing brave work with those parports
[03:27:40] <danimal_garage> lol
[03:28:15] <danimal_garage> what's he doing now? or are you just looking at his older builds?
[03:28:33] <cradek> he's trying many brands of parport and testing EPP functionality and documenting it
[03:28:41] <danimal_garage> ah ok
[03:28:46] <danimal_garage> cool
[03:29:21] <danimal_garage> his shizuoka was all run from parports if i remember right
[03:33:01] <Emcrules_Laptop> looks like lucid did not like my SSD switched to a hard drive and all is fine.
[03:36:14] <cradek> is your ssd defective? seems like that's not as uncommon as you'd hope

[03:38:02] <Emcrules_Laptop> perhaps its brand new but as you said not so uncommon. Lucid would install fine work for a bit and then something would go wrong and then it was all bets off
[03:38:19] <cradek> linux is really good at reporting hard disk errors in dmesg
[03:38:31] <cradek> if it was doing that, trust it...

[03:39:24] <Emcrules_Laptop> I did see some mount related messages the first time it crapped out

[03:52:07] <danimal_garage> but i'm getting realtime delay errors
[03:52:13] <danimal_garage> hmm
[03:52:27] -!- Ze1982 has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[03:54:13] <danimal_garage> the latency test doesnt look too bad
[03:54:30] <danimal_garage> it's under 12000
[03:54:56] <danimal_garage> any idea why i'd get a warning?
[03:55:10] <Valen> for
[03:55:17] <danimal_garage> i'm using my old hal and ini files
[03:55:24] <danimal_garage> realtime delay
[03:55:28] <Valen> for x problems you want to look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:55:47] <danimal_garage> whats an x problem?
[03:56:05] <Valen> somebody was having one before
[03:56:59] <Valen> what board are you using danimal_garage?
[03:57:14] <danimal_garage> d510mo
[03:58:17] -!- ries has quit [Quit: ries]
[03:58:21] <ChrisHelgesen> Servo tuning question: What is the difference between axis.n.f-error and pid.n.error? Which is the one you are ultimately trying to minimize (I've been assuming f-error), and why are they different?
[03:59:23] <cradek> they are different by the travel that occurs during one servo cycle
[03:59:39] <cradek> definitely tune for minimum axis.N.f-error
[04:00:14] <ChrisHelgesen> Ah...so the PID has one cycle of lag, and you tune this out with FF1 & FF2 once the PID is stable?
[04:00:23] <cradek> exactly
[04:00:36] <danimal_garage> so what is an x problem?
[04:00:41] <cradek> axis.N.f-error is the one to minimize because that's what motion is checking for error
[04:01:22] <cradek> danimal_garage: Xwindows, not X axis
[04:02:22] <ChrisHelgesen> Is there an easy way to introduce a step input? I think I've gotten tuning pretty close using rapid moves, but I'm curious what the response to a step is.
[04:02:41] <cradek> you can generate a square wave with the siggen hal component, but no, it's not easy
[04:02:56] <cradek> you can increase the accel in your ini file to an unreasonably high number
[04:03:08] <danimal_garage> i figured it wasnt an x problem, but i dont know what x windows is either
[04:03:10] <cradek> you'll have to increase the ferror trip limit to be greater than the step size, of course
[04:03:39] <cradek> your pid will never see a step input from emc, so it's fairly moot except for curiousity's sake
[04:04:00] -!- Emcrules_Laptop has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[04:05:17] <danimal_garage> i dmesg'ed it and it says it had some large elapsed clocks between calls to the motion controller that probably mean there's a problem with the realtime configuration
[04:05:38] <cradek> sounds like you get an occasional glitch
[04:05:40] <danimal_garage> this is a fresh install
[04:05:55] <cradek> most common reason is video card or bios settings
[04:06:00] <danimal_garage> hmm
[04:06:36] <danimal_garage> i got one of those atom boards
[04:06:43] <danimal_garage> the d510mo
[04:06:49] <cradek> hm, hope they haven't changed somehow
[04:07:14] <danimal_garage> yea, i got it because it's supposed to be a good platform for emc
[04:07:17] <ChrisHelgesen> I had a video driver latency problem when I re-installed with 10.04. Vesa driver cured it.
[04:07:33] <cradek> yep that's pretty common
[04:07:41] <Valen> i havent used that paticular d510
[04:07:57] <Valen> it the latency spike only when starting openGL windows? I get that
[04:08:18] <danimal_garage> it seems to be when i run emc
[04:08:25] <cradek> Valen: you can fix that by switching to software rendering
[04:08:34] <danimal_garage> i dont use this machine for anything other than emc
[04:08:56] <Valen> cradek: I just don't play games when I run EMC ;-P
[04:09:21] <danimal_garage> the latency looked good when i ran a latency test with glxgears running
[04:10:16] <Valen> run latency test
[04:10:20] <Valen> then start gears
[04:11:01] <danimal_garage> i did
[04:11:15] <Valen> I was getting ~30k spike when that happened
[04:11:15] <cradek> goodnight folks
[04:11:24] <danimal_garage> goodnight cradek
[04:11:39] <ChrisHelgesen> Thanks for the help. :)
[04:11:48] <cradek> welcome
[04:13:02] <Valen> danimal_garage: you can put a scope on your latency while running, take a look at it there see if its an issue with starting EMC or when its running
[04:16:30] <danimal_garage> seems to be when it's running
[04:16:39] <Valen> now thats new
[04:16:39] <danimal_garage> it happens when i'm moving the machine
[04:16:50] <danimal_garage> but i'll check
[04:16:57] <Valen> I've never heard of that before
[04:18:56] <danimal_garage> do you know what pin i check in scope?
[04:19:40] <Valen> not off hand, I saw something with latency on it though at one stage
[04:21:13] <danimal_garage> hmm yea i dont see it
[04:46:48] <Valen> I could be wrong, or its in some version that is or is not around now
[04:47:04] <Valen> I know I've seen it with a meter before
[04:47:26] <Valen> I'll have a look next time i'm in front of the mill
[04:55:38] -!- mhaberler has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[05:19:59] <danimal_garage> i noticed hyperthreading was enabled, i disabled that
[05:21:07] <Valen> that'll help
[05:21:13] <Valen> your using 10.04?
[05:22:23] <danimal_garage> yea
[05:22:33] <danimal_garage> well, whatever the current one isd
[05:23:02] <danimal_garage> i havent gotten that error yet so it's definitely better
[05:24:24] <Valen> yeah HT really hurts the RT performance and it'll kill the benifit of the isocpus
[05:24:38] <Valen> check your latency numbers now
[05:25:26] <danimal_garage> i'll have to do it tomorrow, i shut it down
[05:25:34] <Valen> ahh
[05:25:54] <Valen> I didn't know the atoms had HT but it should make a big difference if that was the cause
[05:25:59] <Valen> my latency is ~4000
[05:26:27] <danimal_garage> nice
[05:26:44] <danimal_garage> i didnt know it did either
[05:26:57] <danimal_garage> hence why i didnt spot it when i was in bios
[05:28:10] <danimal_garage> weird, my ssr's are being really sensative, i had to put in a resistor so they'd actually shut off
[05:28:24] <danimal_garage> works fine now though
[05:28:47] <danimal_garage> i'm going to call this build a success :)
[05:29:02] <MattyMatt> that HT thing surprises me, is it a limitation in RT-Linux assuming it's more cores than it really has?
[05:30:10] <danimal_garage> i dunno, i just know it's supposed to be off
[05:30:51] <MattyMatt> it makes sense I guess. I had a little look at what's involved in a real-time kernel and it's fiendishly complicated
[05:31:19] <danimal_garage> well i'm off to eat dinner, goodnight guys
[05:31:28] <danimal_garage> or good morning, depending on where you are
[05:31:34] <danimal_garage> or good afternoon
[05:31:41] <MattyMatt> nearly breakfast time here :)
[05:31:45] <MattyMatt> good night
[05:31:51] <danimal_garage> it's 9:31pm here
[05:47:32] <Valen> its because the schedualer needs to be on an active core to run, if HT has given some other "cpu" operating time then the RT stuff cant halt the running task and take over

[06:35:36] <MattyMatt> Valen, so the ideal would be one core without HT for the scheduler, and the other with HT for the scheduled tasks?
[06:35:49] <Valen> I spose
[06:36:02] <Valen> I wonder if isocpus set to 2 on a dual core machine would work
[06:36:14] <Valen> having HT enabled on atoms would be nice
[06:36:42] <Valen> if the other core never gets any tasks the HT hardware should never switch it in
[06:36:47] <Valen> I'll give it a try
[06:37:11] <MattyMatt> wow that was a blue sky idea :) I didn't think it was tryable :)

[11:09:52] <TekniQue> hi
[11:09:52] <the_wench> hello TekniQue, you have a question?
[11:10:08] <TekniQue> Is there any software like cutviewer
[11:10:11] <TekniQue> for linux?
[11:10:27] <TekniQue> cutviewer is a visual simulator to view G-code
[11:19:56] <psha> TekniQue: axis :)
[11:20:44] <psha> or pick HEAD, there is gremlin widget
[11:20:49] <psha> and sourceview widget
[11:21:04] <psha> so you may build you own gcode viewer in ~10 clicks...
[11:23:17] <TekniQue> gremlin widget?
[11:31:40] * Valen is also interested in said widget
[11:40:44] <TekniQue> I see
[11:40:51] <TekniQue> gremlin is the default view

[14:15:07] <pcw_home> danimal_garage should you see this later "weird, my ssr's are being really sensative, i had to put in a resistor so they'd actually shut off"
[14:15:09] <pcw_home> This probably means you are driving the SSRs with the +in connected to 5V and the -in connected to the 5I20.
[14:15:10] <pcw_home> If you do this the SSRs will not turn off completely. The do not turn off completely because the 5I20 outputs in
[14:15:12] <pcw_home> normal push pull mode only swing to 3.3V when high ( off ) leaving 5V-3.3V = 1.7V across the SSR input pins
[14:15:13] <pcw_home> when the SSR should be off.
[14:15:15] <pcw_home> The solution is to enable open-drain mode for the pins that drive the SSRs ( setp someoldpin.is_opendrain true )

[14:29:21] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: what did you like/hate about them/it?
[14:29:38] <SWPadnos> you hate the lack of a parallel port :)
[14:29:58] <SWPadnos> the only thing I didn't like was that the power cord comes out very easily on mine
[14:30:27] <SWPadnos> you are talking about the big one, right?
[14:30:28] <Jymmm> anything else? reoslution? battery life? power to compile?
[14:30:32] <Jymmm> yes
[14:30:52] <SWPadnos> ok, yeah, the battery life is typical for a laptop of that class, about 1:40
[14:30:59] <Jymmm> k
[14:31:02] <SWPadnos> which is crap, but expected
[14:31:41] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: A friend is looking for a dev machine
[14:31:43] <SWPadnos> the newer ones probably last longer, I think the low power i{3,5,7} chips use less than the core2 duo I had
[14:32:08] <SWPadnos> s/had/have/
[14:32:28] <SWPadnos> it's reasonably fast, dual core C2D at 2.2 GHz
[14:33:11] <SWPadnos> what I really like about the larger ones is that you can easily swap out drives, they're in carriers that just have a couple of latches to remove them
[14:33:23] <Jymmm> k
[14:33:26] <SWPadnos> (you screw the drives into the carriers, but swapping carriers is easy)
[14:33:43] <SWPadnos> the resolution is 1920x1200, but I think the newer ones are more likely to be 1920x1080
[14:33:56] <Jymmm> ah
[14:34:25] <SWPadnos> yep, they're all HD now (bastards)
[14:34:33] <Jymmm> lol
[14:34:46] <SWPadnos> 120 pixels is like 10 more lines of code ;)
[14:36:49] <SWPadnos> to be honest, I'd probably go for a Dell XPS L501x right now. They have a 15.6" model with an HD screen, and I think they last 3+ hours on a charge
[14:37:38] <SWPadnos> they're i5 or i3 based, so they can compile OK (I assume), and they have the Nvidia Optimus thing, so you can get good video speed or long battery life (your choice)
[14:38:15] <Jymmm> ah
[14:38:42] <SWPadnos> you have to select the high res screen in the "case color" section, which was startlingly counterintuitive to me
[14:38:45] <Jymmm> http://i55.tinypic.com/14a9deb.jpg
[14:38:54] <SWPadnos> cool
[14:38:58] <SWPadnos> which one is that? :)

[14:41:47] <Jymmm> ok blue cheeck
[14:42:32] <Jymmm> Heh, the first two rows are all babies
[14:43:50] <Jymmm> Well, the photo is bad (out of focus) and there is just too much resolution for that small of an area that I used.
[14:44:21] <SWPadnos> this is more or less the laptop I have, but updated by a few years: http://www.discountpcsales.com/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?preadd=action&key=mtechm8700
[14:45:19] <SWPadnos> actually, that's not bad, $1559 in the default config, which is an i7, 4G,320G, DVDRW, 17.3"1080p screen ...
[14:46:55] <Jymmm> 4 hdd's!?!?!?!?! http://www.discountpcsales.com/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?preadd=action&key=EMTECHD9FHD
[14:47:02] <SWPadnos> heh, yeah
[14:47:11] <SWPadnos> but you have to ditch the DVDRW for the fourth
[14:47:40] <SWPadnos> you can do two in RAID with no issues, I think the third requires something special, and the fourth replaces the optical drive
[14:48:17] <SWPadnos> hmm, no, does it do 4? the third drive should use the optical bay
[14:49:14] <Jymmm> thats just obscene
[14:49:31] <SWPadnos> heh
[14:49:45] <SWPadnos> one other thing I should say - I have never had one of their laptops die
[14:49:58] <Jymmm> how many have you had?
[14:49:59] <SWPadnos> I can still fire up the one I bought in early 2001. it's just slow
[14:50:16] <SWPadnos> two personally, and at least two others that I had recommended
[14:50:26] <Jymmm> ah
[14:50:37] <Jymmm> and service/support?
[14:50:46] <SWPadnos> I take care of equipment, but I also travel a lot, and these laptops have gone all over the place with me
[14:51:23] <SWPadnos> I have called about BIOS updates or something, and they're helpful (though I don't think they could do anything about one question I had, I don't remember what it was)
[14:51:41] <SWPadnos> hmm. come to think of it, I think I did blow a USB port on the big laptop
[14:51:49] <Jymmm> 3 external displays?!
[14:51:56] <SWPadnos> other than that, I don't know - I have never used their service department :)
[14:52:08] <Jymmm> how did you blow a usb port?
[14:52:33] <SWPadnos> oh, now I remember. when I dropped a camera on the screen, they said it would take a couple of weeks to get repaired - that's when I asked you to ship me the screen from Papatek
[14:52:44] <Jymmm> ah
[14:52:59] <SWPadnos> not sure, I think it had to do with one of the cameras being powered by my own power supply, and a 24V spike came in
[14:53:09] <Jymmm> heh
[14:53:27] <SWPadnos> that has a habit of killing D945GCLF2D boards entirely (the power controller goes poof)

[14:55:24] <SWPadnos> heh
[14:55:30] <SWPadnos> that might be overkill for some applications
[14:56:01] <Jymmm> like.... a laptop for one
[14:56:19] <SWPadnos> well, if you're doing oil/gas exploration, it's probably not overkill
[14:56:24] <SWPadnos> but for most anything else
[14:56:32] <SWPadnos> unless you need a portable "cave"
[14:56:43] <Jymmm> heh
[14:57:09] <Jymmm> still is obscene though
[14:57:14] <SWPadnos> yes
[14:57:18] <Jymmm> esecpecially in a laptop
[14:57:36] <SWPadnos> was that the M8700? they have more expensive models
[14:57:37] <Jymmm> with all that ging, I'm surprised the case doens't melt

[15:02:51] <SWPadnos> you can get the price higher if you choose the 40W Xeon processor

[15:12:00] <JT-Work> I like the rebate debit cards you have to work hard to spend every penny from them
[15:12:13] <SWPadnos> and you can't tell how much money is left on them
[15:12:28] <SWPadnos> so you have to (a) keep track yourself or (b) spend it all in one place
[15:12:37] <JT-Work> till you figure out at wally world they take partial payments from debit cards and can tell you how much is left on the card
[15:12:58] <SWPadnos> oh. I don't go there often, so I wouldn't have discovered that one. thanks :)
[15:13:52] <JT-Work> I just happened to be in line behind someone that did that and promptly pulled out a half a dozen cards and wiped them out

[15:41:38] <cradek> what size items are you photographing?
[15:41:58] <Jymmm> up to 16", so a 24" should work
[15:42:37] <SWPadnos> that's pushing it
[15:42:53] <SWPadnos> the light box should be several times the size of the item you're shooting, I think
[15:42:57] <SWPadnos> at least 2x
[15:43:19] <Jymmm> 16" is rare, 12" typically
[15:43:53] <SWPadnos> then the 24 should be OK, typically :)

[17:06:09] <JT-Work> 2.5 does that
[17:07:39] <IchGuckLive> is there a packet for the Hardy 2.5 available ?
[17:08:00] <IchGuckLive> ubuntu hardy 8.04
[17:08:01] <atmega> Grizzly has finally escalated my lack of customer service, according to their email anyway.
[17:08:19] <JT-Work> packet?
[17:08:30] <IchGuckLive> .deb
[17:09:16] <JT-Work> I think one gets built by the buildbot but I don't know where it lives
[17:09:27] <IchGuckLive> if i come from 2.4.3 i will lose all my mashines installed
[17:11:19] <JT-Work> I run a RIP of 2.5 and use the configs in the emc2/configs directory

[17:22:17] <IchGuckLive> what is the diferent from deb to deb-src from the Packetsource
[17:30:20] <psha> IchGuckLive: deb-src is package with sources
[17:30:28] <psha> deb is compiled binary package
[17:31:00] <IchGuckLive> thanks do i have to remove the 2.4.3 first ?
[17:31:29] <psha> yes
[17:32:09] <IchGuckLive> ok
[17:32:46] <danimal_garage> mornin
[17:33:37] <pcw_home> If you just want to try 2.5 the git/RIP route is easy and harmless to your existing installation
[17:33:39] <pcw_home> (worked for me and I'm a linux dummy)
[17:34:08] <skunkworks> I second!
[17:34:25] <IchGuckLive> axis 2.5 is now running !!!!
[17:34:26] -!- awallin has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[17:34:27] <skunkworks> (worked for me also - not pcw_home is a linux dummy)
[17:34:46] <Connor> whats diff in 2.5 vs 2.4.3 ?
[17:34:55] <pcw_home> danimal_garage did you see my note about your SSR problem?
[17:35:08] <danimal_garage> i seem to be getting a realtime delay warning with my new build
[17:35:10] <IchGuckLive> so where now can i get the tool info on the screen ???
[17:35:18] <danimal_garage> no, i'll go back and check
[17:37:19] <danimal_garage> pcw_home, i tried running them in opendrain but it still did it
[17:37:54] <psha> pcw_home: installing 2.5 package is really more simple
[17:38:03] <psha> debian has nearly bullet proof package manager
[17:38:17] <IchGuckLive> psha: agree
[17:40:25] <pcw_home> danimal_garage I would check the output voltages, in open drain mode the outputs should be 5V when off so 0V across SSR
[17:41:34] <danimal_garage> it wasnt quite zero when off
[17:41:39] <danimal_garage> but it was 5v
[17:41:42] <danimal_garage> when on
[17:43:04] <Connor> what.. axis 2.5 ? what ver comes with emc 2.4.4 ?
[17:43:47] <danimal_garage> when in opendrain on the 7i42, i connect the + from the 5v connector on the 7i42 to the + on the ssr, then hook the negative from the ssr to the gpio pin on the 7i42, right?
[17:44:06] <psha> Connor: axis 2.5 == axis from emc 2.5
[17:47:29] <danimal_garage> hmmm why am i getting runtime delay errors when emc is running? the latency test looks good
[17:49:38] <danimal_garage> the servo thread is 10,000 and the base thread is 12,000, however dmesg says iu have spikes upwards of 700,000
[17:53:09] <IchGuckLive> There is a fault in EMC-Hal-Sim-Mini if i klick on tool the Diameter and the Length has changed the sides

[18:17:55] <danimal_garage> pcw_home, what were you saying before about the new PID for 2.4.x? Do i need to change my config files at all, or is it pretty much the same as far as that's concerned? I'm pretty much using the same ini and hal files from 2.3.x
[18:19:53] <pcw_home> The new PID comp has some new pins, one of which you will need to connect in HAL for any benefit
[18:20:11] <danimal_garage> ah ok cool, i'll check it out
[18:20:12] <danimal_garage> thanks

[18:24:03] <danimal_garage> when in opendrain on the 7i42, i connect the + from the 5v connector on the 7i42 to the + on the ssr, then hook the negative from the ssr to the gpio pin on the 7i42, right?
[18:26:50] <danimal_garage> pcw_home, if that's correct, then i tried opendrain

[18:28:57] <danimal_garage> pcw_home, yea i had it that way first. it didn't turn the ssr's off
[18:29:12] <pcw_home> To use the new feature of the PID comp you need to connect hm2_5i20.0.encoder.XX.velocity to the pid.XXfeedback-deriv pin of the new PID comp
[18:29:27] <SWPadnos> did you wire it that way and also set pin.xx.is_opendrain 1 ?
[18:29:33] <danimal_garage> i had it as opendrain and inverted in hal
[18:29:34] <SWPadnos> danimal_garage, ^^
[18:30:00] <SWPadnos> ok
[18:30:42] <danimal_garage> SWPadnos, i had it as opendrain 0
[18:30:49] <pcw_home> Well something is wrong, Can you check th GPIO output voltage when off? (and is_opendrain is set true)
[18:30:59] <SWPadnos> danimal_garage, ??
[18:31:15] <SWPadnos> there should be a *.is_opendrain parameter for every GPIO
[18:31:24] <danimal_garage> really?
[18:31:24] <SWPadnos> you need to setp that to 1
[18:31:27] <SWPadnos> yes

[18:32:17] <SWPadnos> (I shouldn't have chosen 73, I guess :) )
[18:32:40] <danimal_garage> yea, none of my gpio's have an opendrain parameter if they arent opendrain
[18:33:14] <danimal_garage> i wasnt aware you needed it. opps.
[18:34:05] <danimal_garage> SWPadnos, you're a photographer, right?
[18:34:22] <SWPadnos> no, but I play one for some TV channels
[18:34:26] <danimal_garage> lol
[18:34:53] <danimal_garage> i had a photographer here for wired magazine. the equipment was impressive
[18:34:55] <SWPadnos> I'm probably responsible for more still photographs than the average pro too :)
[18:35:15] <danimal_garage> filled up half my livingroom with equipment
[18:35:20] <SWPadnos> I'm sure. remember the equipment brands?
[18:35:37] <danimal_garage> his main camera was a pentax i believe
[18:35:52] <danimal_garage> the other one was a cannon, it had a huge body
[18:35:53] <SWPadnos> medium format? (like the 645?)
[18:36:03] <danimal_garage> no clue
[18:36:03] <SWPadnos> still or motion?
[18:36:06] <danimal_garage> still
[18:36:09] <SWPadnos> huh
[18:36:17] <SWPadnos> I guess huge is relative

[18:41:03] <SWPadnos> oh, neat
[18:41:25] <danimal_garage> they wanted to do a step by step on how i make one of my products, and they asked how i got started, etc
[18:41:42] <danimal_garage> emc should be mentioned!
[18:41:44] <SWPadnos> do you know which issue it should be in? (or on the web)

[19:24:27] <mrsunshine> hmm, a three phase motor that has a maximum amparate of 1.6 amps, what should one expect that motor to draw unloaded? :)
[19:33:36] <skunkworks> probably halfish (just a guess)
[19:33:55] <SWPadnos> that sounds like a high guess :)
[19:34:27] <skunkworks> we have some 5hp that we have just amped and they are around 1/3 of the amps
[19:34:39] <SWPadnos> I'd bet no more than 5-10% of full current, based on what I read about rotary phase converters (that they waste about 5% of rated power max)
[19:34:53] <skunkworks> interesting
[19:35:17] <SWPadnos> but I'm not right, just throwing in my unqualified opinion
[19:35:59] <skunkworks> that is also assuming that I am remembering rigrt ;)
[19:36:02] <skunkworks> right

[20:04:14] <mikegg> it's a function of feedrate and number of flutes too, no?

[20:05:22] <cradek> thanks, that's what I came up with too
[20:05:32] <archivist> seems so low
[20:05:43] <cradek> 1m/min is awfully low surface speed

[20:29:10] <archivist> danimal_garage, you need to reverse a coil if the connections are brought out so you can
[20:29:10] <cradek> danimal_garage: unbolt it and turn it around
[20:29:19] <danimal_garage> i swapped the leads on the cap, but it didnt change the direction
[20:29:32] <archivist> cap has ac
[20:29:32] <danimal_garage> funny cradek
[20:29:59] <cradek> danimal_garage: I try
[20:30:06] <danimal_garage> any coil archivist?
[20:30:22] <danimal_garage> i cant figure out which is the start coil
[20:30:39] <danimal_garage> there's 6 wires, 2 red, 2 black, a yellow, and a white
[20:30:45] <cradek> http://en.allexperts.com/q/Electric-Motors-3782/reverse-rotation-single-phase.htm
[20:30:47] <danimal_garage> and 2 caps
[20:31:04] <archivist> does it have a centrifugal switch
[20:31:14] <cradek> I think you only have to reverse the start coil
[20:31:34] <cradek> I think the motor will run either way if it's started that way
[20:32:08] <danimal_garage> if it has 6 wires, is there a chance it has a center tap for reducing the speed?
[20:32:20] <archivist> I think either coil can be reversed, my southbend has a duff switch so I manually spin then connect
[20:32:27] <SWPadnos> the cap is non=polar, else it would explode when placed across an AC line
[20:32:27] <SWPadnos> non-polar
[20:32:36] <danimal_garage> ah
[20:32:45] <SWPadnos> he's got the right answer though
[20:32:59] <Jymmm> so it has a borderline personality disorder
[20:33:30] <Jymmm> or is it just bi-polar
[20:33:54] <Jymmm> with extroverted tendancies
[20:34:31] <danimal_garage> i cant tell which is a starting coil
[20:34:49] <Jymmm> look for the word "START"
[20:35:00] <cradek> can you tell which one is hooked through the switch?
[20:35:00] <archivist> smaller wire sometimes
[20:35:22] <JT-Shop> danimal_garage: does it have any kind of nameplate?
[20:35:32] <danimal_garage> JT-Shop, no

[20:36:36] <danimal_garage> i would assume it's the one with the cap on it right?
[20:36:58] <JT-Shop> or catalog.wegelectric.com/img/Wiring_Diagrams.pdf
[20:37:15] <danimal_garage> it's single phase
[20:37:28] <JT-Shop> below the three phase ones
[20:37:35] <danimal_garage> there's 2 caps, one would be a start cap and one would be a run cap, right?
[20:37:56] <cradek> yes
[20:37:57] <mrsunshine> i wonder if my vfd will go all the way down to 0.37kw ...

[20:39:21] <archivist> probably ok, you may be able to abuse the motor :)
[20:39:35] <JT-Shop> danimal_garage: the only one with 6 wires on that chart is the dual voltage/reversible without thermal overload
[20:41:28] <mrsunshine> may be able to abuse the motor? :P

[21:28:33] <tom3p> the logs at http://www.linuxcnc.org/irc/irc.freenode.net:6667/emc/2011-02-11.txt ... most recent is 4 days old
[21:29:34] <psha> tom3p: logger[psha] logger[mah]
[21:29:45] <psha> both respond to any message with log link
[21:30:01] <danimal_garage> i have a single phase motor that i need to wire
[21:30:17] <danimal_garage> there's no markings on the motor or leads
[21:30:34] <danimal_garage> there's 2 red, 2 black, a white, and a yellow wire
[21:30:40] <danimal_garage> and 2 caps
[21:31:01] -!- emcrules_mill [emcrules_mill!~jp1@CPE001310e6c94f-CM001bd71cb794.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #emc
[21:31:05] <archivist> danimal_garage, can you measure resistance of the coils
[21:31:06] -!- L84Supper [L84Supper!~ly@unaffiliated/l84supper] has joined #emc
[21:31:22] <danimal_garage> it looked all about the same with my meter
[21:31:44] <danimal_garage> 3 have resistance to eachother, and the other 3 have resistance to eachother
[21:32:09] <archivist> lift all, find the two coils, reverse one
[21:32:21] -!- SadMan [SadMan!sadman@sadman.net] has joined #emc
[21:32:34] <danimal_garage> so the 2 reds and the yellow have impedence, along with the 2 blacks and white

[21:33:16] <danimal_garage> i dont know how to wire up the coils
[21:33:22] <archivist> and the mains connects too
[21:33:22] <danimal_garage> it's 115v

[21:33:46] mhaberler_ is now known as mhaberler
[21:34:24] <archivist> I mean which wires in the motor
[21:38:18] <danimal_garage> the wires i mentioned are in the motor
[21:38:38] <danimal_garage> all 6 wires come from the motor
[21:38:43] <archivist> grrrrr
[21:38:51] <danimal_garage> nothing is connected
[21:39:04] <danimal_garage> so i dont know what your asking
[21:39:07] <archivist> so you dont even know where to connect 115
[21:39:31] <danimal_garage> i know one wire
[21:39:33] <danimal_garage> thats it
[21:39:47] <danimal_garage> white went to white
[21:40:20] <archivist> and...there are two involved in a power connection
[21:40:31] <danimal_garage> and i dont know where the other one goes
[21:40:36] <danimal_garage> which is the problem
[21:45:14] <danimal_garage> ok i got it to spin again but it's still the wrong direction
[21:45:14] -!- mhaberler has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[21:46:03] <archivist> so your other power wire goes to which ?
[21:46:44] <danimal_garage> it goes to a red and one lead from one of the caps
[21:50:28] <archivist> does not feel right to me
[21:51:55] <danimal_garage> what should it be connected to?
[21:52:34] -!- mhaberler [mhaberler!~chatzilla@62-47-140-78.adsl.highway.telekom.at] has joined #emc
[21:56:08] <archivist> across a coil, you said the two groups of 3 were high resistance
[21:56:59] <danimal_garage> yes
[21:57:49] <danimal_garage> each group of 3 had resistance, but the groups did not have resistance to the other group

[22:01:00] <tom3p> skunkworks, did you connect external estop to iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in? maybe like this? http://imagebin.org/138140
[22:02:21] -!- micges [micges!~micges@bxk126.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl] has joined #emc
[22:02:30] <archivist> danimal_garage, before you go any further and let the smoke out, either work out the real diagram or get someone who knows that motor
[22:03:24] <danimal_garage> there's absolutely no markings on the motor
[22:03:40] <danimal_garage> no brand, nothing
[22:03:54] <danimal_garage> there's no diagram
[22:04:14] <skunkworks> tom3p: I would have to look - I used the sample ladder on the wiki for an external estop loop
[22:04:30] <danimal_garage> so unless there's a way to figure out by checking resistance, etc, it's going to be a guessing game
[22:04:59] <tom3p> danimal_garage, pretty graphical, may be of use http://tinyurl.com/6jmdoco
[22:05:26] <archivist> danimal_garage, I would be exploring deeply, making sure what is what
[22:06:01] <skunkworks> tom3p: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Sample_HAL_And_ClassicLadder
[22:06:04] <skunkworks> example 4
[22:07:08] <danimal_garage> you mean dissasemble the motor?
[22:07:20] <tom3p> skunk, great thx "Output from CL * Q0 emc-enable-in"
[22:08:37] <tom3p> 'twist and latch' tho, sounds like a 1960's dance craze

[23:47:23] <Valen> that'd be my guess anyway
