[00:35:53] <danimal_garage> damn, it's raining pretty good out there
[00:40:55] <Emcrules_Laptop> pcw, how far away can a daughter board be away from the board it connects to?

[00:42:13] <PCW> depends...
[00:42:18] <danimal_garage> i run about 3 feet of ribbon with no issues
[00:42:45] <PCW> 3-5 feet is ok for most, 10 ft is ok for 7I37
[00:43:35] <PCW> 100ft is ok for 8I20,7I64 (7I66,7I69,7I70,7I71,7I73)
[00:44:10] <Emcrules_Laptop> What if the cable is sheilded?
[00:44:41] <PCW> Which daughtercard?
[00:45:17] <Emcrules_Laptop> I was thinking of going 50pin idc header to 50pin dsub, 7i48,7i33,7i37
[00:47:48] <Emcrules_Laptop> the 50 pin dsub would be in an empty pci slot and then use a 50 pin cable to another enclosure with the daughter cards and drives
[00:50:59] <PCW> 7I48 is probably the most length sensitive since it has a muxed signal and returned muxed data but
[00:51:00] <PCW> is probably ok with 10 Ft or though you may have to reduce the mux rate (default is Clocklow/8 so ~4 MHz on 5I20, 6 MHz on others
[00:51:20] <PCW> s/or/ or so/
[00:52:31] <PCW> I have tested most things to 15 feet or so but dont reccomend it if you have a noisy environment
[00:53:06] <Emcrules_Laptop> Thanks good to know!!1
[00:54:21] <PCW> If you want another box maybe you want a 6i71/3X20/7I68 then you can have a 7 meter PCIE cable to the box...
[00:58:27] <Emcrules_Laptop> huh you lost me at the 6i
[01:00:16] <Emcrules_Laptop> ah i get it
[01:00:30] <PCW> 6i71 = PCIE slot to cabled PCIE adpater
[01:01:03] <Emcrules_Laptop> emc supported?
[01:01:58] <PCW> yes
[01:02:37] <Emcrules_Laptop> nice!!!

[02:14:42] <danimal_garage> not me
[02:15:14] <danimal_garage> i just have mine in a large electrical enclosure with my servo drives and whatnot
[02:15:31] <Tom_L> you have the D510?
[02:15:35] <danimal_garage> yea
[02:15:44] <Tom_L> i was looking at the D525
[02:15:48] <Tom_L> not decided yet
[02:16:01] <danimal_garage> i just got the 510 maybe 2 weeks ago
[02:16:16] <Tom_L> you like?
[02:16:22] <danimal_garage> yea seems ok
[02:16:24] <Tom_L> you running it fanless?
[02:16:29] <danimal_garage> yea
[02:16:36] <Tom_L> no heat issues?
[02:16:48] <danimal_garage> not yet, but i dont have the door on the enclosure yet
[02:17:00] <danimal_garage> i doubt i will though, it's a decent sized box
[02:17:15] <danimal_garage> the servo drives barely put out any heat
[02:17:24] <Tom_L> i just get tired of changing fans
[02:17:28] <danimal_garage> yea
[02:17:39] <danimal_garage> there's 2 big ones mounted on the door
[02:17:42] <Tom_L> i run my itx 24/7
[02:17:48] <danimal_garage> but i havent decided if i'll hook them both up
[02:17:50] <Tom_L> and it has a cpu and psu fan
[02:18:05] <Tom_L> if i keep the dust out it does ok
[02:18:14] <danimal_garage> easier said than done
[02:18:39] <Tom_L> it'll shut down if the cpu cooler gets too clogged up
[02:18:47] <danimal_garage> yea
[02:18:52] <danimal_garage> my laptop does that
[02:20:51] <Tom_L> how much ram did you get?
[02:22:01] <danimal_garage> 1 gig
[02:22:40] <Tom_L> i think the D525 takes different sticks
[02:22:44] <Tom_L> so dimm
[02:23:14] <danimal_garage> yea, i went cheap
[02:23:28] <danimal_garage> what is the difference? more cores, right?
[02:23:42] <danimal_garage> quad vs dual?
[02:23:43] <Tom_L> 1.8G
[02:23:47] <danimal_garage> ah
[02:23:49] <Tom_L> i think they're both dual
[02:23:59] <danimal_garage> yea the 510 is
[02:24:09] <danimal_garage> i'd save my money personally
[02:24:10] <Tom_L> the 510 1.6Ghz?
[02:24:17] <danimal_garage> yea
[02:24:24] <Tom_L> they're only $5 difference
[02:24:32] <danimal_garage> ram isnt any more?
[02:24:47] <Tom_L> i don't think so
[02:24:49] <danimal_garage> my ram was $19
[02:24:57] <Tom_L> someone said they thought the sodimm was cheaper
[02:25:07] <danimal_garage> hmm
[02:25:13] <Tom_L> i haven't really compared side by side
[02:25:23] <danimal_garage> i just got the 510 because they had it in stock locally
[02:25:31] <Tom_L> 2g is about $35
[02:25:49] <danimal_garage> i like being able to go to the store and buy something

[02:28:48] <Tom_L> well, i'm not so much after speed as i am fanless
[02:29:11] <Tom_L> what psu did you use?
[02:29:20] <danimal_garage> just one i had
[02:29:23] <Tom_L> i might get a picopsu for it but i'm not sure
[02:29:28] <Tom_L> i have some around here too
[02:29:41] <Tom_L> it doesn't use the extra 4pin plug does it?
[02:29:53] <Tom_L> the D525 does i think
[02:29:55] <danimal_garage> no, i use a 20 pin
[02:30:05] <Tom_L> i wonder if it's required
[02:30:36] <danimal_garage> it has a socket for a 24pin but you can get away with a 20 pin on the 510
[02:30:46] <danimal_garage> not sure on the 525
[02:35:25] <danimal_garage> man i did a lot of anodizing this week
[02:36:02] <Tom_L> i did alot of nothing
[02:36:09] <danimal_garage> lol
[02:36:20] <Tom_L> worked on a tan a bit
[02:36:28] <Tom_L> was on vacation :D
[02:39:35] <danimal_garage> where?
[02:39:46] <Tom_L> caribbean

[02:40:22] <Tom_L> actually it's pretty reasonable this time of year
[02:40:24] <danimal_garage> nice
[02:41:19] -!- jrshaul [jrshaul!~joseph@76.201.147.170] has joined #emc
[02:41:37] <danimal_garage> yea, i went there in april/may about 7 or 8 years ago, it was pretty cheap
[02:41:43] <danimal_garage> i went to puerto rico
[02:43:02] <Tom_L> we were on the western side
[02:43:10] <Tom_L> umm cosumel etc
[02:45:44] <pcw_home> man its cold and wet in sunny CA
[02:46:19] <Tom_L> left in -14F temps and came back to 74F today
[02:47:26] <danimal_garage> yea, it's raining here now
[02:47:35] <danimal_garage> in San Diego, CA
[02:48:52] <pcw_home> probably warmer down there, its about 42F and raining here
[02:49:50] <danimal_garage> probably 55ish
[02:50:21] <danimal_garage> 65 in my garage
[02:51:51] <pcw_home> Well, shouldn't have gotten rid of your step motors :-)
[02:51:59] <danimal_garage> haha
[02:52:15] <danimal_garage> hey i'm having trouble with the new pid thing
[02:52:31] <danimal_garage> cradek says it's because it's not in 2.4
[02:52:53] <danimal_garage> what do i have to do to get it? get 2.5?
[02:53:17] <pcw_home> You can just download the comp I think
[02:54:50] <pcw_home> Not sure though. I'm afraid all the EMC gurus are asleep
[02:55:44] <danimal_garage> ah ok
[02:56:07] <danimal_garage> the machine is working fine, it's just noisy
[02:56:17] <danimal_garage> especially the z axis servo
[02:57:00] <pcw_home> Its not too hard to just get the master source and compile (with the RIP option you wont bust anything)
[02:57:42] <danimal_garage> cool, i'll look into it when i get some time
[02:57:52] <danimal_garage> i still gotta get my pendant wired up
[02:57:57] <danimal_garage> thanks
[02:58:04] <pcw_home> yeah the stock derivative term is really noisy (because its count change/period)
[02:58:26] <danimal_garage> ah
[03:00:33] <pcw_home> so if you have a 1 KHz sample rate and 750 Hz encoder count rate your velocity will be something like .2 .2 .2 0 .2 .2 .2 0 (the 0 is when there was no count per sample interval)
[03:01:35] <pcw_home> so you get a nasty beat between the sample rate and the encoder output count rate
[03:01:51] <danimal_garage> yea
[03:02:02] <danimal_garage> it's scary sounding sometimes :)
[03:03:16] <pcw_home> pretty raspy
[03:03:45] <pcw_home> or crunchy
[03:04:19] -!- tris has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
[03:05:14] <danimal_garage> yea
[03:05:26] <danimal_garage> it's definitely the d
[03:07:18] <pcw_home> And if you want torque mode you normally need a little higher sample rate (which makes the stock derivative term even noisier)
[03:07:36] <danimal_garage> yea, it's in torque mode
[03:08:03] <danimal_garage> velocity mode relys a lot on the drive's parameters, it was a PITA to tune
[03:08:46] <danimal_garage> at least for the drives i have (fully digital)
[03:09:49] <pcw_home> torque mode is nice also since you know what % of your drives capacity you are using
[03:10:12] -!- tris [tris!~tristan@173-164-188-122-SFBA.hfc.comcastbusiness.net] has joined #emc
[03:10:32] <pcw_home> and you can do tricks like limiting torque when homing
[03:11:40] <danimal_garage> ah neat
[03:11:45] <danimal_garage> didnt think of that
[03:12:44] -!- jrshaul has quit [Quit: jrshaul]
[03:14:04] <pcw_home> Might as well have EMC control the torque instead being controlled by a velocity loop in the drive where its invisible
[03:19:42] <skunkworks> you can get it from git... I am running trunk right now.
[03:21:42] <danimal_garage> lol
[03:21:54] <skunkworks> does that sound wierd? ;)
[03:22:01] <danimal_garage> i never know what you guys are talking about, but the names sure are funny
[03:22:58] <skunkworks> I like rip (run in place) I can have a few different builds to play with. they are contained in their own directorys and don;t mess with one another.
[03:23:09] <Tom_L> what's the difference between ddr2 and ddr3 ram? just the physical configuration?
[03:23:45] <pcw_home> voltage too I think
[03:23:53] <skunkworks> keyed different ;)
[03:24:03] <Tom_L> idiot proof :D
[03:26:08] <danimal_garage> eh, i can make it fit :)
[03:26:51] <danimal_garage> i wonder how long it's gunna take me to saw cut 24 pieces of 4" diameter 17-4ph stainless steel
[03:28:40] <Tom_L> solid bar?
[03:28:44] <danimal_garage> yea
[03:28:48] <Tom_L> hehe
[03:28:51] <Tom_L> good luck
[03:29:11] <danimal_garage> lol
[03:29:20] <danimal_garage> it's not my first rodeo
[03:29:25] <danimal_garage> i just never timed it before
[03:29:40] <danimal_garage> i'm guessing 5-6 hours
[03:29:52] <Tom_L> we stuck those ti forgings on the bandsaw with a jig and put a counterweight off the other side to put pressure on it and let them cut away
[03:30:17] <danimal_garage> i dont have counterweights on it
[03:30:24] <danimal_garage> i have the feed set pretty slow
[03:30:33] <danimal_garage> it's a small saw
[03:30:41] <Tom_L> those landing gear trailing links...
[03:30:42] <danimal_garage> 9'7" blade
[03:30:56] <danimal_garage> we water jet them
[03:31:09] <Tom_L> that might not be so bad
[03:31:13] <danimal_garage> and wire edm'd them
[03:31:36] <Tom_L> does that work harden it at all?
[03:31:51] <danimal_garage> not enough to matter if it does
[03:32:53] <danimal_garage> took about 10 minutes to cut the first piece
[03:33:36] <Tom_L> what are you making from them?
[03:33:40] <Tom_L> sprockets?
[03:35:13] <danimal_garage> yea

[03:46:12] <danimal_garage> the worst part about the rain is that my dogs still bug me to take them to the dog park
[03:48:46] <pcw_home> Our dog gets gradually crazier with many rainy no long walk days in a row
[03:49:41] <danimal_garage> same here
[03:49:48] <danimal_garage> mine are nuts to begin with
[03:50:07] <danimal_garage> boxer/lab mix and some sort of shepard mix puppy
[03:50:17] <danimal_garage> chock full of energy
[03:51:00] <pcw_home> Ours is a flat retriever from the pound
[03:51:24] <danimal_garage> pound dogs are the best, both of mine are as well
[03:53:56] <danimal_garage> these lennox bi metal blades are the best
[03:54:14] <danimal_garage> i'm sure carbide would be better, but i havent seen them in this size
[03:55:04] <danimal_garage> 2 down, 22 to go
[03:55:32] <danimal_garage> i'll probably cut the whole bar if my blade holds up
[03:56:47] <danimal_garage> but that's only 40 pieces
[04:00:37] <pcw_home> Hes been wonderful and trustworthy with our chickens and sheep and rabbits
[04:00:38] <pcw_home> (not something I can say about all our dogs we've had, there have been some bad chicken incidents)

[04:09:36] <Tom_L> are you using the parport on your D510?
[04:10:38] <danimal_garage> retrievers are great dogs
[04:10:48] <danimal_garage> Tom_L, no
[04:11:06] <Tom_L> is it a standard .1" header?
[04:11:51] <Tom_L> i wonder if it outputs 3.3v or 5v
[04:12:32] <danimal_garage> i believe it's a standard header
[04:12:37] <danimal_garage> not sure on the voltage
[04:12:56] <danimal_garage> i'll likely never use it
[04:13:02] <danimal_garage> i have mesa stuff
[04:13:06] <Tom_L> oh
[04:13:12] <Tom_L> well you're using servos too
[04:13:20] <Tom_L> i'll prolly stick with steppers
[04:13:30] <Tom_L> at least for now
[04:14:28] <danimal_garage> probably a better reason to go with the mesa stuff
[04:14:52] <danimal_garage> then you don't have to rely on the latency as much
[04:15:12] <Tom_L> i wish their site showed what boards were suited for what a bit better than it does
[04:15:41] <danimal_garage> also, i just cant imagine being able to build a practical machine with only 1 parport
[04:16:03] <Tom_L> how does your mesa board interface to it?
[04:16:06] <danimal_garage> just ask pcw_home or call them, they were pretty helpful
[04:16:11] <danimal_garage> pci
[04:16:22] <danimal_garage> i have a 5i20
[04:16:32] <danimal_garage> and a few daughter boards
[04:17:28] <danimal_garage> 7i42, 7i33, and 7i37
[04:17:43] <danimal_garage> 7i42 was good for the steppers

[12:28:51] <cpresser_> jthornton: you dont really need one
[12:29:46] <cpresser_> its not mandatory, but advisable
[12:29:55] <jthornton> well yea I did as I can't find tips for my old one so might as well get a nice one so I did get the WESD51
[12:30:11] <jthornton> and the old one had two settings "too cold" and "too hot"
[12:30:15] <cpresser_> when doing smd soldering, i use Pb-Solder (non RoHS) at about 300-330 degrees celsius
[12:30:52] <jthornton> Pb-Solder? is that a brand?
[12:31:05] <SWPadnos> lead
[12:31:11] <cpresser_> no, its a solder which contains lead
[12:31:13] <SWPadnos> as opposed to nlead free
[12:31:16] <SWPadnos> -n
[12:31:22] <SWPadnos> I generally set my ir
[12:31:33] <SWPadnos> iron to 750-800F
[12:31:43] <SWPadnos> but I don't touch the components for long
[12:31:50] <jthornton> ok
[12:32:20] <cpresser_> you will kill some parts if you are new to smd soldering. especially when desoldering :)
[12:32:39] <jthornton> I have Kester "44" rosin core 60/40 0.031 diameter solder
[12:33:03] <cpresser_> ah, found a picture of the wesd51. i use the same station.
[12:33:37] <cpresser_> when doing smd-ICs, dont try to solder each pin seperately. do all at once and then clean the briges with desoldering wick
[12:33:48] <jthornton> seems to heat up fast and the cord to the iron is very flexible
[12:33:50] <cpresser_> its much easier for beginners
[12:34:44] <jthornton> yea, I saw that method on a tutorial
[12:35:21] <jthornton> I've been soldering for a zillion years but today is my first SIOC component :)
[12:36:01] <cpresser_> then you wont have much problems. smd soldering isnt that hard :)
[12:36:20] <jthornton> I think I'll practice with the through hole parts first to get used to the new iron
[12:36:42] <jthornton> doesn't look hard in the tutorials
[12:37:48] <cpresser_> its about skil and good tools
[12:38:11] <cpresser_> try getting a solder-flux-pen(dont know the exact english word)
[12:39:59] <cpresser_> http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/812049/FLUSSMITTELSTIFT-TYP-X33S-07I

[12:43:37] <SWPadnos> the Wellers are prett ygood solder stations, but they don't seem to have much power
[12:44:04] <SWPadnos> so you can solder most any pad that doesn't have a heavy ground connection with one of those
[12:44:25] <SWPadnos> but a pad tied to a plane in too many places just won't work
[12:44:37] -!- pcw_home has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[12:44:48] <cpresser_> right, SWPadnos. but that is mostly an issue with desoldering
[12:44:50] <SWPadnos> (and that's with "professional" boards with tin plating and solder mask, I wouldn't even try a home-made milled one)
[12:44:58] <SWPadnos> no, it's a problem with soldering too :)

[12:45:14] <cpresser_> i my experienece, 50Watts is enough for most applications
[12:45:43] <SWPadnos> I actually had a board that couldn't be made properly with a Hakko station, but a Pace could do it
[12:45:45] <cpresser_> there were only few times i wished for more power
[12:46:00] <SWPadnos> and Hakko has quite aq bit more power and better regulation that Weller
[12:46:03] <SWPadnos> than
[12:47:39] <SWPadnos> I had made a mistake on that particular board, because I had a ground thermal connection, but also had a wide diagonal trace to the pad, and it was connected to a large ground plane in 2oz copper
[12:49:37] <cpresser_> i agree, there are boards which require more then 50Watts. but in most cases you are fine with such a station
[12:50:07] <cpresser_> http://ca.rstenpresser.de/~cpresser/tmp/pictures/atmo_madness.jpg
[12:50:14] <jthornton> that's when I pull out my torch and heat up grandpa's soldering iron
[12:50:24] <cpresser_> thesee wer all done eith the 50watts weller station
[12:50:41] <cpresser_> ground planes can be worked with heating up the whole board :D
[12:51:08] <SWPadnos> yep
[12:51:13] <SWPadnos> and reworked :)
[12:51:22] <cpresser_> got2go. bbl
[12:52:08] <jthornton> YEA! new computer parts are on the way for the other shop's computer
[12:52:40] <SWPadnos> nice. did you get what I picked out for you?
[12:52:44] <jthornton> solder flux no clean or?
[12:52:46] <jthornton> yes
[12:52:49] <jthornton> thanks
[12:52:52] <SWPadnos> not no-clean
[12:53:02] <SWPadnos> cool. I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed
[12:53:18] <jthornton> I'm sure I won't be disappointed
[12:53:20] <SWPadnos> you could get a faster CPU, but then the CPU itself would be about the cost of the whole computer
[12:54:04] <jthornton> it was time to upgrade to winblows 7 anyway Solidworks is phasing out support for XP
[12:54:26] <SWPadnos> make sure you have Win7 Professional or Enterprise
[12:54:34] <jthornton> what would you pick from this http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Cat=1311241&k=solder%20flux%20pen
[12:54:38] <jthornton> professional
[12:54:48] <SWPadnos> even Ultimate (which has all the features of Enterprise) will only have support through 2015
[12:54:54] <SWPadnos> ok, good. support through 2020
[12:54:58] <jthornton> 64
[12:55:23] <jthornton> same thing I'm running out in my shop here at home
[12:55:26] <SWPadnos> oh. I don't use flux. couldn't tell you
[12:55:36] <jthornton> ok
[12:55:44] <SWPadnos> err, wait, those are flux remover pens
[12:55:52] <SWPadnos> (haven't had my coffee yet ...)
[12:55:58] <jthornton> I saw some tutorials that used it, but it seems like...
[12:56:07] * jthornton hands SWPadnos a cup of joe
[12:56:31] <SWPadnos> a toothbrush, lint-free or low lint cloth/napkin, and rubbing alcohol work pretty well
[12:57:38] <pcw_home> 99% IPA is better than rubbing alky if you have it
[12:57:38] <jthornton> to clean the board before soldering or after soldering
[12:57:48] <SWPadnos> after
[12:57:51] <SWPadnos> or before I guess
[12:57:53] <jthornton> yea, I have 99%
[13:01:43] <jthornton> now if I can just remember where it is :/
[13:06:48] <jthornton> as much as I want to start soldering I can see further planning is required to make sure everything is in the correct place... so it's off to the roof I go to start shingling

[17:31:53] <danimal_garage> for my pendant, should i use a gpio pin for the encoder, or should i use the 7i33? the example in the wiki uses a parport
[17:32:32] <danimal_garage> i dont want to waste a 7i33 channel if i dont have to, but i want the pendant to work well
[17:33:07] <alex_jon1> depends on the encoder and how fast you'll be spinning it'
[17:33:07] <danimal_garage> would an input on the 7i37 be fast enough?
[17:33:30] <SWPadnos> which FPGA card are you using?

[17:33:36] <danimal_garage> 5i20
[17:34:27] <danimal_garage> i dont neccesarily care about accuracy unless i'm moving slow
[17:34:30] <SWPadnos> you can use GPIO then. the 5i20 read function can be put into a faster thread than the servo thread (or you can increase the servo thread rate)
[17:34:49] <SWPadnos> you should always care about accuracy :)
[17:34:50] <danimal_garage> cool
[17:35:34] <SWPadnos> but you don't need to. the 5i20 can have many encoders, and you don't need to use the 7i37 for it - you can connect to the encoder pins (like you would connect to a GPIO), and turn on the encoder
[17:35:48] <danimal_garage> well if i spin the mpg fast, i don't care if it misses a few clicks. it's when i'm indicating a part and i'm moving .0001" at a time where i care
[17:36:09] <SWPadnos> ie, use the pins that would be for the next encoder input after the 4 on the 7i37 for your input, and enable 5 encoders
[17:36:19] <danimal_garage> ah
[17:36:46] <danimal_garage> ok, thanks
[17:37:12] <danimal_garage> oh wait a minute, the firmware is going to delegate where the pin is going to be, huh
[17:37:14] <SWPadnos> it's better to maintain accuracy in all cases. you could e.g. spin the knob so that 000 is up (assuming you have a graduated dial), and then spin as fast as you want for a while, then slowly move back to 000, and you know that the machine will be at the right spot
[17:37:28] <danimal_garage> good point
[17:37:48] <SWPadnos> yes. you would need to use something like SVST8_8 (that's 8 servos 8 steppers)
[17:37:57] <SWPadnos> or however it's spelled :)
[17:38:11] <SWPadnos> then look at the dmesg output to see where the pins are
[17:38:18] <SWPadnos> or consult some manual somewhere ahead of time
[17:38:38] <danimal_garage> darn. i dont want to change a bunch of stuff, if it isnt in a convenient spot, i'll probably just use my 7i37
[17:39:27] <danimal_garage> i just rewired my machine, i dont want to do it again :)
[17:40:43] <danimal_garage> i guess i'm lazy
[17:41:15] <pcw_home> I think normal MPGs are low enough resolution that you are unlikely to out-spin the software encoder
[17:42:07] <pcw_home> Aren't they normally 25 lines = 100 counts / turn ?
[17:44:39] <pcw_home> thats only 1 KHz count rate at 600 RPM (probably about as fast as you can spin it without a motor or a string)
[17:45:04] <danimal_garage> yea, 100 counts per rev
[17:45:35] <danimal_garage> i figured that, but it's really gunna depend on where the pin falls on my board
[17:46:14] <pcw_home> with the software encoder you can put the pins anywhere
[17:47:14] <pcw_home> you might need a base thread however depending on how fast you servo thread is
[17:50:10] <danimal_garage> i can? i thought it was like the stepgen where the firmware delegates the pins
[17:51:22] <pcw_home> EMC has a software encoder counter that reads GPIO bits
[17:51:43] <danimal_garage> ah cool
[17:52:38] <danimal_garage> it's already all wired using the 7i33, but i'll keep that in mind for when i eventually add a spindle encoder
[17:52:57] <pcw_home> so QA.QB can be on any input pin (say a couple of 7I37 inputs)
[17:53:53] <danimal_garage> neat, good to know!
[17:54:05] <danimal_garage> thanks
[17:58:38] <pcw_home> Thank EMC

[19:07:27] <JT-Shop> :)
[19:07:38] <Jymmm> wth is a roof jack?
[19:07:42] <danimal_garage> do i need to add the base thread? because when i start emc, it gives me an error saying it cant find the base thread

[19:15:04] <pcw_home> ?
[19:15:08] <danimal_garage> trying to, yes
[19:15:59] <pcw_home> ok you will be limited to I think 300 RPM if you use the servo thread

[19:23:41] <danimal_garage> i'll try it again, that was on the old PC i believe
[19:24:19] <danimal_garage> well the encoder is working
[19:24:22] <pcw_home> running at higher servo rates may make the D term noisier (until you update ti the new PID comp)

[19:30:37] <Jymmm> In all these centuries, I still dont get why they still use the same damn materials for roofing
[19:30:40] <Tom_itx> yeah, tie a rope around your neck and hook it to the opposite side truss's. it'll help break the fall
[19:31:01] <Tom_itx> because it works?
[19:31:33] <Jymmm> It doesn't, that's the problem. Lasts maybe 10years then fucking leaks and expensive to repair/replace
[19:31:54] <Jymmm> tar goes on roads, not roofs
[19:32:07] <Tom_itx> put on a copper roof then

[20:17:33] <JT-Shop> LOL I just calculated it
[20:18:19] <JT-Shop> after the 10th row I don't spend as much time and effort not falling off the roof so I can concentrate on slinging shingles and nailing

[22:32:29] <danimal_garage> welcome to yesterday
[22:32:48] <danimal_garage> :)
[22:32:50] <coldelectrons> Ugh. Umpteen different dxf-to-gcode conversion utilities, and none work like I want
[22:33:10] <coldelectrons> Good thing most of them are open source :)
[22:33:10] <danimal_garage> matercam for the win

[22:33:53] <danimal_garage> i used panduit
[22:34:03] <coldelectrons> danimal: I'll look at it, but if it's windows, uh-uh
[22:34:08] <danimal_garage> although it's a bit missmatched for now
[22:34:23] <danimal_garage> coldelectrons, it is windows based
[22:34:33] <Jymmm> cool
[22:34:34] <danimal_garage> but it's the standard
[22:34:59] <Jymmm> its not cheap stuff, thats for sure
[22:35:28] <danimal_garage> mastercam? yea, but if you run a business, it pays for itself
