[00:44:26] <danimal_garage> sudo timemachine
[00:44:31] <cradek> just start it again
[00:44:39] <cradek> if it was still downloading, it'll resume
[00:47:50] <emcrules_d510mo> I think its still running. if i start it again i get. E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

[01:30:42] <emcrules_d510mo> I cant express how much i hate the dlink dir1522 bridge
[01:30:43] <elmo40> emcrules_d510mo: evening
[01:31:01] <emcrules_d510mo> hello elmo
[01:31:17] <elmo40> how goes it?
[01:31:31] <elmo40> oh crap... someone at the door pushing a product. give me a moment ;)
[01:32:07] <emcrules_d510mo> better now that i bypassed my bridge
[01:33:10] <emcrules_d510mo> going to have to buy a wireless card for the atom
[01:34:53] <emcrules_d510mo> downloading a 20k/sec sucks

[01:36:58] <emcrules_d510mo> pulled out my 5i20 and put in a pci wireless card. Whamo back to 300k/sec
[01:37:01] <elmo40> emcrules_d510mo: pcmcia wifi card?
[01:37:28] <elmo40> nm ;)
[01:37:53] <elmo40> so... i installed Squeeze on my home machine. I already broke apt >_<
[01:38:26] <elmo40> tried to install E17 with what now appears to be some sketchy packages. Not very nice, i tellz ya.
[01:38:48] <emcrules_d510mo> no my atom is in my office upstairs so i had a bridge to get hard lines for devices that did not have wireless. end result bridge laying on ground in pieces
[01:39:04] <emcrules_d510mo> ouch start from scratch?
[01:39:27] <elmo40> ya, i think
[01:39:44] <elmo40> it is a fresh install, nothing lost (but time and data writes)
[01:40:08] <elmo40> for some reason it doesnt even see the second drive. i cant mount it.
[01:40:32] <emcrules_d510mo> I know that feeling. I got a bum ssd from mini-box
[01:41:02] <emcrules_d510mo> would not take an install
[01:41:53] <elmo40> on a side note. i pulled apart a samsung multi-camera surveillance system. it uses an embedded ARM9 :) I wonder how i can use it. i wonder if the OS is on an ePROMM chip or something.
[01:42:15] <elmo40> emcrules_d510mo: can u write to the ssd when hooked to something else?
[01:42:51] <emcrules_d510mo> don't know yet haven't played with it since.
[01:43:28] <emcrules_d510mo> do you still want that pendant?
[01:43:56] <elmo40> i have a Heini 12-pack waiting for it :)
[01:44:25] <emcrules_d510mo> You can probably pick it up this weekend
[01:44:45] <elmo40> sorry, heading to ottawa by 9am sat morning
[01:45:51] <emcrules_d510mo> What about tomorrow night?

[02:43:51] <Jymmm> I hate mcmaster
[02:43:53] <danimal_garage> standard thread
[02:43:55] <danimal_garage> me too
[02:43:59] <danimal_garage> fastenal
[02:44:09] <danimal_garage> msc
[02:44:11] <Jymmm> fastenal is mostly construction

[02:44:20] <danimal_garage> ace hardware
[02:44:28] <Jymmm> LOL
[02:44:30] <danimal_garage> fastenal does carry it
[02:44:35] <Jymmm> lets see if enco does
[02:44:37] <danimal_garage> ace does too
[02:44:38] <cradek> you know those threads are .004 inches pitch? I don't think you're going to find that thread
[02:44:56] <Jymmm> cradek: I already have some, just need different head
[02:45:05] <cradek> have a pic?
[02:45:11] <Jymmm> no
[02:45:25] <cradek> what are they for? must be something very special
[02:45:31] <cradek> microscope table?
[02:45:39] <Jymmm> laser
[02:45:43] <cradek> ahh cool
[02:45:51] <danimal_garage> cradek, it's standard
[02:45:57] <cradek> wild
[02:46:10] <danimal_garage> i have a 1/4-60 if you want to see wild
[02:46:11] <Jymmm> it's the one size smaller than 4-40
[02:46:16] <danimal_garage> and an 0-80
[02:46:31] <danimal_garage> there is a #3 as well
[02:46:41] <cradek> yeah 3-48 and 2-56 are very common
[02:46:48] <Jymmm> #3 is sheet metal isn't it?
[02:46:50] <cradek> 2-256 I've certainly never seen
[02:46:59] <atmega328> I have lots of 2-56, but 2-256 would be something
[02:46:59] <danimal_garage> 2-56 is
[02:47:00] <cradek> no, these are standard machine threads
[02:47:23] <danimal_garage> i have a bunch of 2-56 taps, definitely standard
[02:47:31] <cradek> me too - boxes of 'em
[02:47:47] <cradek> http://www.sizes.com/tools/thread_american.htm
[02:47:47] * atmega328 looks around for the crack pipe
[02:48:01] <cradek> atmega328: my thoughts too, but I've been wrong before
[02:48:29] <danimal_garage> ohhh, you're being a smartass lol
[02:48:34] <danimal_garage> i guess i'm slow
[02:48:38] <cradek> ?
[02:48:44] <danimal_garage> he ment 2-56
[02:48:49] -!- Tom_L [Tom_L!~Tl@unaffiliated/toml/x-013812] has joined #emc
[02:49:04] <danimal_garage> he corrected himself, i thought you knew
[02:49:10] <seb_kuzminsky> 2-256 is the standard pipe thread used on crack pipes
[02:49:16] <danimal_garage> haha
[02:49:17] <cradek> 20:43 < Jymmm> Whos carrys 2-256 screws?
[02:49:17] <cradek> 20:43 < atmega328> 2-56?
[02:49:17] <cradek> 20:43 < Jymmm> 2-256
[02:49:25] <Tom_L> try a hobby store
[02:49:29] <cradek> I don't see a correction
[02:49:35] <cradek> but whatever, I don't care about this anymore
[02:49:41] <danimal_garage> ah
[02:49:41] <atmega328> heh
[02:49:44] <danimal_garage> opps
[02:49:57] <danimal_garage> i've never been much of a reader
[02:50:13] <Tom_L> who was it using those APEX itx cases?
[02:50:30] <Tom_L> did you use a 2.5" drive and if so how did you go about mounting it?
[02:51:14] <cradek> bbl, need to find dinner II
[02:51:26] <seb_kuzminsky> see you cradek
[02:51:47] <danimal_garage> adios
[02:51:55] <Jymmm> Had to look at the drawing, 2-56
[02:53:03] <Tom_L> how long?
[02:53:30] <Jymmm> no more than 3/8 I'd suspect
[02:53:30] <atmega328> makes it easier, everyone has 2-56 :)
[02:53:48] <Jymmm> atmega328: ha
[02:53:57] <Jymmm> atmega328: hit home depot and say that
[02:54:05] <Tom_L> i think i have a whole tube full here
[02:54:17] <Jymmm> Tom_L: what head?
[02:54:28] <danimal_garage> i knew it was 2-56 :)
[02:54:37] <Tom_L> nope, that tube is 4-40
[02:54:42] <Jymmm> danimal_garage: Go blow it out yout DC!
[02:54:46] <Tom_L> i got some here somewhere
[02:55:28] <Tom_L> does Fastenal carry any that small?
[02:55:52] <Jymmm> yes, but those fsckeers want $35 for a can of 77
[02:55:56] <Tom_L> my local surplus guy does

[02:58:04] <emcrules_d510mo> any clues to what i messed up during build?
[03:05:39] <seb_kuzminsky> emcrules_d510mo: does emc2-dev/tcl/emc.so exist? the error message says it does not exits
[03:07:39] <emcrules_d510mo> No it's not there
[03:08:21] <seb_kuzminsky> did you run make?
[03:08:27] <emcrules_d510mo> yes
[03:08:53] <seb_kuzminsky> did make finish without error?
[03:08:59] <elmo40> emcrules_d510mo: tomorrow evening would be perfect. when/where?
[03:08:59] <emcrules_d510mo> yes
[03:09:28] <emcrules_d510mo> Elmo40: my house around 8:00pm
[03:11:33] <emcrules_d510mo> Seb_kuzminsky, sorry configure ran fine make did not
[03:11:46] <seb_kuzminsky> ok that makes more sense
[03:12:07] <seb_kuzminsky> what did make croak on?
[03:12:25] <emcrules_d510mo> http://codepad.org/60qdUjpN
[03:13:10] <seb_kuzminsky> ok, your pokeys comp is broken
[03:13:15] <emcrules_d510mo> ah my comp is nfg
[03:14:05] <emcrules_d510mo> well more like my hack at your comp
[03:17:01] <emcrules_d510mo> so should i be looking at like 404 of the comp?
[03:17:10] <emcrules_d510mo> line 404
[03:18:13] <cradek> no, it looks like pretty much all the lines of the comp are bad
[03:18:17] <seb_kuzminsky> no, the "line 404" in the error message is where in the "comp" tool it choked, it's got nothing to do with your pokeys.comp
[03:18:51] <seb_kuzminsky> do you have a bunch of "#" characters in the docs in your comp?
[03:18:53] <cradek> paste the comp
[03:19:15] <seb_kuzminsky> how was second dinner chris?
[03:19:23] <cradek> it was good
[03:19:40] <cradek> leftover whatever-curry and a big red bell pepper that needed eatin'
[03:19:56] <seb_kuzminsky> leftover curry ftw
[03:20:21] <emcrules_d510mo> http://codepad.org/gSmPst9v
[03:20:33] <cradek> oh - that's not a comp
[03:20:35] <seb_kuzminsky> emcrules_d510mo: dude thats not a comp
[03:20:43] <seb_kuzminsky> it's like there's two of us here
[03:21:07] <cradek> I'm redundant, sorry
[03:21:13] <seb_kuzminsky> that's a C file, it wants to be compiled with gcc, not comp
[03:21:22] <seb_kuzminsky> you keep beating me to the punchline
[03:21:25] <emcrules_d510mo> i could nt understand how to get the c to comp
[03:21:35] <emcrules_d510mo> ah ok
[03:22:06] <seb_kuzminsky> look at src/hal/user_comps/Submakefile
[03:23:37] <seb_kuzminsky> eh, i think i'll go drill some holes
[03:26:48] <emcrules_d510mo> so would i use "comp --install shuttlexpress.c" to compile and install?
[03:27:40] <emcrules_d510mo> if that was the name of the "c" file

[03:44:39] <emcrules_d510mo> Ok i must be missing something how do I compile this? I followed the comp docs but no luck.
[03:45:22] <garage_seb> it's not a comp
[03:45:25] <garage_seb> it's a c file
[03:45:30] <garage_seb> dont compile it with comp
[03:45:40] <garage_seb> use gcc, like in the submakefile i told you about
[03:50:58] -!- Tom_L has quit []
[03:53:58] <emcrules_d510mo> Ok why would i get an error about #include "hal.h"
[03:55:04] <garage_seb> what's the error?
[03:55:59] <emcrules_d510mo> http://codepad.org/I2f2Ckhz
[03:56:45] <garage_seb> you need to supply many many arguments to gcc
[03:56:53] <garage_seb> i don't know what they all are, but the submake file knows
[03:57:18] <garage_seb> edit the submakefile, copy the bits about shuttlexpress and replace it with the name of your new comp
[03:58:56] <emcrules_d510mo> sorry this is all new to me. I am using the same filename for now. should it not go?
[03:59:15] <garage_seb> it's confusing that you're using the same filename
[03:59:44] <garage_seb> i think you should make a copy of shuttlexpress.c and name it something to do with the hardware you're trying to write the driver for
[03:59:46] <emcrules_d510mo> i know i just wanted to take small steps first
[04:00:28] <emcrules_d510mo> I agree but my learning curve is steep with the compiling and stuff
[04:00:35] <garage_seb> "cp" is a small step ;-)

[12:23:04] <emcrules_mobile> not much yet having a hard time compiling with gcc
[12:24:16] <jthornton> what are you compiling?
[12:24:56] <emcrules_mobile> user comp c file
[12:25:17] <emcrules_mobile> modbus.c as an example
[12:25:28] <jthornton> your changing seb's for the pokeys?

[12:29:28] <jthornton> what was the name of seb's comp
[12:29:46] <emcrules_mobile> I tried to compile the modbus file just to check without making any mods and I get the same errors
[12:30:04] <emcrules_mobile> shuttlexpress.c
[12:30:36] <jthornton> lol I need to do a pull here I don't have it
[12:31:45] <jthornton> are you doing this with a git version?
[12:31:48] <emcrules_mobile> should I not just be able to run make in the user comp dir
[12:32:08] <emcrules_mobile> yes
[12:32:28] <emcrules_mobile> master
[12:32:32] <jthornton> probably best to just build the RIP
[12:32:45] <jthornton> it is so convoluted how it works
[12:33:30] <jthornton> you working with master?
[12:33:51] <emcrules_mobile> yep and its all new to me so its painfull
[12:34:42] <jthornton> ok I'm up to date and see the shuttlexpress.c now :)
[12:35:05] <emcrules_mobile> that's the version git first pulls is it not
[12:35:30] <jthornton> that is a busy little comp
[12:35:34] <jthornton> ?
[12:37:36] <emcrules_mobile> when I first loaded git it created my dev folder based on master correcrt?
[12:38:02] <jthornton> it should yes
[12:38:12] <emcrules_mobile> I followed the wikki instr
[12:39:03] <emcrules_mobile> then that's what I'm working with
[12:39:38] <jthornton> looks like you need to add your comp to the Submakefile then build the RIP
[12:40:19] <emcrules_mobile> how do I do thjat
[12:40:38] <jthornton> build the RIP?
[12:40:46] <jthornton> or add your comp?
[12:40:55] <emcrules_mobile> the submsake that is
[12:41:52] <jthornton> look at the Submakefile in the src/hal/user_comps directory and you can see where shuttlexpress.c is and kinda copy that I think
[12:44:15] <emcrules_mobile> if you compile it what happens

[12:49:31] <jthornton> did you upgrade your firmware?
[12:50:09] <emcrules_mobile> the submake file right from source so I don't know what to check
[12:50:37] <emcrules_mobile> yes the firmware is current as of 3 weeks ago
[12:51:22] <jthornton> so the stuck on condition is now gone?
[12:52:23] <emcrules_mobile> does the submake file tell the compiler where to look for lib's
[12:52:49] <emcrules_mobile> no stuck condition is still there
[12:53:30] <jthornton> then you need to download the lastest software and it will upgrade your firmware and that problem is fixed
[12:53:34] <alex_joni> jthornton: 1ft of snow last night
[12:53:38] <jthornton> I did that yesterday

[13:43:29] <psha[work]> emcrules_mobile: there is no makefile in comp's dir
[13:43:46] <psha[work]> and Submakefile is only useful as a part of whole
[13:46:25] <emcrules_mobile> yes I am understanding more now
[13:50:07] <emcrules_mobile> so if I run make in emc2-dev/src only what has been changed in any folder will be recompiled?

[17:05:57] <micges> it have some bugs ;)
[17:06:21] <psha> but if you need simulator to check gcode you may pick sim packages from 10.04 - there are chances that they'll just work
[17:06:32] <Gurgalof> Good thing that i will be using simulator vesion then
[17:06:59] <Gurgalof> Already started compiling
[17:07:03] <psha> building sim EMC is very simple - at least in RIP mode
[17:07:09] <psha> i have one on eeepc netbook :)

[19:21:21] <Jymmm> archivist: It's IRC, multiple conversations happen concurrently. If you want a one-on-one conversation, take it privately.

[19:22:20] <archivist> it has a random, if there are multiple factoids per trigger
[19:22:25] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: That would be the intelligent/behaving bot methodology that most bots use.
[19:22:39] <cradek> I think it should only answer once per join

[19:22:57] <Tom_itx> if ever

[19:46:09] <psha> hi
[19:46:13] <psha> :)
[19:47:52] <mrsunshine> how to balance a pulley that i dont want to take of the shaft of the motor.. :/
[19:48:52] <archivist> take to a man with a balancing machine
[19:48:59] <Tom_itx> i'd put props between 2 support points and lighten the heavy side until it would spin and stop anywhere
[19:49:37] <mrsunshine> archivist, well next time i put it on the shaft it might go on differently :P
[19:49:49] <Tom_itx> balancing something like an engine is a whole other art
[19:50:08] <archivist> mrsunshine, some probably could do it mounted
[19:50:13] <Tom_itx> mrsunshine, you just said you didn't wanna take it off the shaft
[19:50:17] <mrsunshine> the engine isnt rocking, its when i get the pulley on :/
[19:50:30] <archivist> I have some code here to do dynamic balancing
[19:50:59] <mrsunshine> tho, might get better if i figure out why its off, it shouldnt be
[19:51:15] <mrsunshine> its a taperlock and it might be that its to tight on the axle to start with or something
[19:51:32] <archivist> taperlock should be perfect
[19:51:34] <mrsunshine> so it never can pull in the slot even a slight bit, making it go more out the side :P
[19:52:02] <mrsunshine> archivist, im thinking with the slot in it, if its to tight and that cant close even a thousand then will it still work as it should? :)
[19:53:13] <archivist> if the taper is out of its range then yes it wont grip correctly
[19:53:40] <mrsunshine> well the taper goes exactly and i mean exactly on the axel (its a 14mm axel and a 14mm taper)
[19:54:00] <mrsunshine> as when i tight it, the side where the slit is always gets a slight bit higher then the one without a slit on it
[19:57:48] <archivist> by slit I assume key way, shaft or pulley
[19:59:46] <mrsunshine> http://www.hug-technik.com/gif/Taperlock_Buchse.jpg <-- that that goes all the way throught the middle hole :P
[19:59:48] <mrsunshine> straight up
[20:01:07] <archivist> ah that slit, then a faulty taper lock bush possibly or incorrect fitting
[20:01:45] <archivist> burr on the slit edges?
[20:02:05] <mrsunshine> nop, im thinking the motor axle is the theif here .. :P
[20:02:32] <mrsunshine> gonna check the taper with a dial guage later to see if it is as i fear it is (that it needs to close slightly to not be to "wide" on that side :P
[20:03:22] <archivist> I have one on my mill its nice and well balanced
[20:03:38] <archivist> not that make of bush though

[21:27:59] <mrsunshine> hmm, might actualy be the motors shaft that is a slight bit krooked :/
[21:28:43] <mrsunshine> took the pulley off and got vibrations in the mill even with it off :/
[21:30:35] <JT-Shop> could be out of balance as well

[21:31:22] <mrsunshine> i have changed them =)
[21:32:02] <mrsunshine> but as the pulley no matter how i do it wobles on the axel i guess it could be crooked :/
[21:33:30] <archivist> hmm bearings damaged could be a sign of it being dropped in the past hence bent shaft
[21:34:26] <mrsunshine> archivist, well they were not damaged in that sense, it was more like rust :P
[21:34:35] <mrsunshine> the lower bearing was just a pile of rust
[21:35:02] <mrsunshine> nothing else in it was rusty tho so it was concentrated to that bearing for some reason =)

[21:46:40] <atmega328> look at it, really closely.
[21:49:09] <seb_kuzminsky> mrsunshine: spin the shaft by hand while probing it with a dti
[21:49:14] <cradek> mrsunshine: a very simple test is to roll it on a surface plate
[21:49:51] <cradek> I've adequately unbent pushrods that way
[21:50:25] <mrsunshine> roll it on a surface plate ?
[21:51:18] <archivist> place between centres and use a dti also
[21:51:31] <cradek> I sense you have a question, but I can't tell what it is by reading the words preceding the ?
[21:51:39] <JT-Shop> or a paper clip, a good light and your eye
[21:52:13] <cradek> how would you use a paper clip?
[21:52:31] <archivist> cradek, its in a motor so how would he roll it, I think
[21:52:41] <JT-Shop> put the end so it just does not touch and turn the shaft slow and look at the gap
[21:52:51] <cradek> ah
[21:52:53] <JT-Shop> touch the side of the shaft
[21:53:03] <cradek> archivist: my fault for not reading back
[21:53:05] <JT-Shop> you can see down very small that way
[21:53:22] <archivist> spin and slow touch and listen for intermittent contact

[23:14:58] <UnderSampled> Hello
[23:15:42] <UnderSampled> my latency measured 200,000
[23:15:52] <UnderSampled> how can I decrease that?
[23:17:27] -!- danimal_garage has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[23:17:39] <seb_kuzminsky> UnderSampled: there are some things you can try, but it may be that your computer just has bad latency (many do)
[23:17:49] <seb_kuzminsky> look here: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?TroubleShooting#RTAI_Latency_test

[23:18:04] <seb_kuzminsky> and here: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?FixingSMIIssues
[23:18:04] <archivist> often, change the video driver you are using, or change video card so you dont use onboard vid
[23:18:09] <seb_kuzminsky> and good luck!
[23:18:37] <UnderSampled> this is on a desktop
[23:18:55] <UnderSampled> with an old agp nvidia graphics card
[23:19:13] <UnderSampled> running the default ubuntu installation's video drivers
[23:19:44] <UnderSampled> could removing any hardware help?
[23:19:54] <seb_kuzminsky> nvidia may be the problem, the fix is described in the first link i sent you
[23:20:24] <UnderSampled> interesting
[23:20:29] <UnderSampled> any reason why?
[23:20:39] <UnderSampled> your link doesn't say much
[23:21:11] -!- odiug has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[23:21:36] <seb_kuzminsky> the nvidia driver disables interrupts for long periods of time, which means the rtai kernel can't switch tasks, which means latency sucks
[23:21:54] <UnderSampled> i'm not using the nvida driver
[23:22:22] <UnderSampled> unless ubuntu installs it now automatically
[23:22:35] <seb_kuzminsky> i dont know what's default
[23:22:49] <seb_kuzminsky> all the collected wisdom on fixing latency issues is in the docs i linked you
[23:23:13] <PCW> Even the open source nvidia driver sucks (in my limited experience)
[23:23:37] <seb_kuzminsky> from that url: "Avoid anything nvidia."
[23:23:46] * seb_kuzminsky shrugs
[23:24:05] <UnderSampled> so i should switch to may even older trident pci video card?
[23:24:23] <seb_kuzminsky> you could try
[23:24:42] <seb_kuzminsky> or you could try some of the other suggestions there
[23:24:53] <seb_kuzminsky> maybe you'll get lucky and one of them will fix the issue
[23:27:42] <archivist> you can test bios issues with http://biosbits.org/
[23:28:44] <UnderSampled> I have an amd in this box
[23:29:05] <danimal_garage> PCW, is a 5i20, 7i37, and 7i33 the best way to go for a basic servo 4 axis mill with no spindle control?
[23:29:44] <danimal_garage> someone i know is looking to dump the mach 3 system on his mill for emc
[23:29:46] <UnderSampled> archivist: specifically, an Amd Athalon Thunderbird 1200MHz
[23:30:10] <seb_kuzminsky> danimal_garage: that's exactly what i'm using on my bridgeport, it works great
[23:30:30] <archivist> I run a cnc on a slower 800meg athlon
[23:31:07] <seb_kuzminsky> oh wait, i'm using a 5i22 now because i added another 7i37 for the control panel
[23:31:22] <seb_kuzminsky> i *was* using the setup you described, for about a year
[23:31:32] <danimal_garage> seb_kuzminsky, i have the same setup plus a 7i42 on both my mill and lathe, but it's been a while since i researched any of it
[23:31:55] <danimal_garage> i didnt know if it's old news now, and something better is out there
[23:31:58] <UnderSampled> how do I measure driver timings?
[23:33:25] <seb_kuzminsky> UnderSampled: I don't know of a way to measure latency of individual drivers
[23:33:37] <seb_kuzminsky> short of measuring the system latency with and without those drivers
[23:36:18] <UnderSampled> seb_kuzminsky: I'm referring to section 6.4 in the getting started guide
[23:36:33] <UnderSampled> my driver isn't on the list on the wiki
[23:36:48] <UnderSampled> and I don't see any figures like those in the manual
[23:37:13] <PCW> danimal_garage, Yes thats the most common configuration people use
[23:37:29] <danimal_garage> ok cool
[23:37:50] <danimal_garage> it's working fine for me!
[23:38:10] <seb_kuzminsky> UnderSampled: oh, you're talking about something different now, i see
[23:38:15] <danimal_garage> i scored an old cnc control pannel today with a bunch of nice buttons ans switches on it
[23:38:18] <UnderSampled> yeah
[23:38:23] <seb_kuzminsky> you're asking about the timing characteristics for your stepper amplifiers
[23:38:23] <UnderSampled> sorry
[23:38:26] <UnderSampled> :)
[23:38:30] <danimal_garage> i might cut it down and use it for the lathe
[23:38:37] <seb_kuzminsky> that info comes from the manufacturer of the stepper amps
[23:38:42] <danimal_garage> i think i can sqeeze my monitor in there
[23:39:07] <seb_kuzminsky> danimal_garage: just bend it if it doesn't fit
[23:39:23] <danimal_garage> lol
[23:39:41] <archivist> weld a go faster bump onto the case to make room
[23:39:53] <danimal_garage> a hood scoop?
[23:40:24] <archivist> yes add cooling too
[23:40:54] <danimal_garage> the pannel had probably a 12" crt in it, i have a 15" and 17"lcd i can use
[23:41:15] <danimal_garage> i think i can make it work
[23:41:34] <seb_kuzminsky> UnderSampled: here's a picture how what those numbers mean: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.4/html/hal_rtcomps.html#fig:StepDir-timing
[23:42:06] <UnderSampled> ah
[23:42:33] <UnderSampled> so, for me I'd look at the TB6560 IC's manual?

[23:43:05] <Lbaroudi> hi there
[23:43:33] <seb_kuzminsky> UnderSampled: i dont know what stepper amps you have, but those timings are a feature of the amps
[23:43:44] <archivist> UnderSampled, yes
[23:44:35] <UnderSampled> archivist: why isn't the tb6560 on the list?
[23:44:46] <archivist> as long as your pulses are longer than the chip minimum you should be ok

[23:50:14] <seb_kuzminsky> Lbaroudi: are you using the parallel port to talk to your machine, or some fancy interface hardware like mesa?
[23:50:15] <Lbaroudi> I am using cnc4pc driversnd power any one who know bout it and the EMC2 ???
[23:51:39] <Lbaroudi> yes kuzminsky its parallel port driver is breakout board is c11g
[23:52:38] <seb_kuzminsky> i think you should start by running stepconf
[23:52:50] <seb_kuzminsky> it will walk you through configuring emc2 for your machine
[23:53:00] <seb_kuzminsky> i've never used it so i can't help much
[23:53:15] <Lbaroudi> thanks alot
[23:54:03] <Lbaroudi> should i connect it to 5 volts or should i connect to external 5v ?
[23:54:27] <seb_kuzminsky> your breakout board? i have no idea

[23:55:30] <Lbaroudi> i mean it would take 5v from lpt port or it need external power ? in general
[23:56:39] <seb_kuzminsky> i dont know, i've never used the c11g breakout board
[23:56:47] <seb_kuzminsky> it'll probably say in the manual
[23:56:59] <seb_kuzminsky> i think the parport can't source much power, but i dont know how much you need
[23:59:03] <Lbaroudi> its not clear in the manual
[23:59:54] <seb_kuzminsky> it's not clear in my mind either ;-)
