[14:17:34] <anonimasu> pcw_home: can I run the sevo board from you without load?
[14:17:45] <anonimasu> like for checking the encoder power?
[14:17:52] <anonimasu> so im not wiring something up wrong?
[14:21:05] <fragalot> Someone should combine the pliers of the SOG S66N and it's phillips screwdriver with the rest from the leatherman surge
[14:21:10] <fragalot> I'd buy 4 >.>
[14:22:52] <pcw_home> yes you can run it without motor power
[14:23:16] <anonimasu> will I still have power on the encoder pins?
[14:23:37] <anonimasu> and can I run without load and motor power? or will the output transistors blow up like the geckos?
[14:24:31] <fragalot> o.O pretty poor design if something blows up when there's no load attached imo
[14:24:56] <anonimasu> ah.. sorry about the stepper drives with too high load -_-
[14:25:03] <pcw_home> Sure you can run it with no power/load in any combination (what is bad for Geckos and us is disconnecting the load when there is motor current)
[14:25:24] <anonimasu> I forgot the resitor for current limit
[14:25:53] <anonimasu> next question can I get 0-10v from the outputs on the 7i?? board as pwm
[14:26:12] <anonimasu> if I power the outputs with 24v that should just be a matter of duty cycle right?
[14:27:04] <pcw_home> Not sure what you are asking...
[14:27:24] <anonimasu> I need to control a vfd that takes 0-10v pwm
[14:27:57] <anonimasu> can I do that without extranal hardware and without using 10v as input voltage for the outputs
[14:28:39] <anonimasu> external... I mean
[14:28:45] <pcw_home> 10V supplied to which card?
[14:29:42] <anonimasu> 7i37
[14:30:43] <anonimasu> com or normal one(I have both)
[14:31:01] <pcw_home> Yes, but you need to use a low enough PWM frequency because of the relatively slow output switching time of the 7I37 say 1KHZ or less
[14:32:10] <anonimasu> I see
[14:32:33] <pcw_home> 0 to 10V sounds analog to me the VFD takes PWM?
[14:33:07] <anonimasu> it says pwm in the datasheet
[14:33:29] -!- dgarr has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[14:33:31] <anonimasu> I cant remember the name of the vfd right now but I have the datasheet out in the shop
[14:33:45] <pcw_home> does it specify a frequency range?
[14:33:54] <anonimasu> I can wait until I have a chance and get online from there when I can check
[14:34:52] <anonimasu> bbl, I'll ask you when I have it infront of me again
[14:35:56] <pcw_home> OK there's probably a simple way to do it though it may need an external transistor or Opto-coupler if the 7I37 is not fast enough
[14:55:11] <mrsunshine__> yeey, melted and casted ingots of all my current cast aluminium =)
[14:55:18] <mrsunshine__> now i can start making milling blocks =)

[15:42:08] <atom1> when you get ready to mess with the lathe package, let me know. i'd like to figure it out as well
[15:42:12] <atom1> it looks pretty simple
[15:42:19] <anonimasu> 2 or 3 weeks I think
[15:42:34] <atom1> it's been 15 years and i haven't used it "D
[15:42:47] <atom1> probably more
[15:43:01] <atom1> but i'd like to know how it works anyway

[17:03:33] <Jymmm> HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes. To be used when you want to cut anywhere BUT the starting notch...
[17:03:42] <Jymmm> VISE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand. Also handy to 'pinch you' to make sure you're not dreaming....
[17:03:47] <Jymmm> OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub as you try to remove a bearing race. Can also be used to trim excess facial hair...

[17:06:16] <archivist> wtf
[17:15:03] <anonimasu> i have a top for everyone... buy a probe.
[17:16:25] <anonimasu> tip....
[17:17:31] <cradek> anonimasu: aren't they great?
[17:17:54] <anonimasu> yes
[17:18:04] <anonimasu> if only my alignment were as great as the probe...
[17:18:19] <cradek> you mean getting it centered?
[17:18:32] <cradek> it can be tedious.
[17:18:33] <anonimasu> yeah
[17:18:51] <anonimasu> it was centered when I did it, but it seems like it's not on the spindle..
[17:19:05] <anonimasu> so my encoder mounts might be off.. -_-
[17:19:50] <anonimasu> anyway the point was, they save a shitload of time...
[17:19:51] <anonimasu> :)
[17:20:22] <cradek> I use mine pretty much exclusively for finding edges/top and centers of holes
[17:20:36] <anonimasu> me too
[17:20:53] <anonimasu> I will hae one on the lathe too
[17:20:59] <cradek> I've never digitized an object, or anything like that - but it would be possible I guess
[17:21:20] <cradek> something to measure lathe tools would sure be nice - not sure how to do that though.
[17:22:44] <anonimasu> hm, just stick into spindle and run the tool over it at diff z passes
[17:23:12] <anonimasu> or probe for z and then x
[17:23:27] <anonimasu> (the disc thing that you get with some probes)
[17:23:57] <cradek> yeah, you're right
[17:24:19] <cradek> I should do it sometime.
[17:39:14] <anonimasu> I know what happened..
[17:39:18] <anonimasu> the shaft broke of my probe -_-

[17:58:52] <maximilian_h> Hello
[17:59:14] <maximilian_h> is there a way to see the preview in axis starting at the current position ?
[17:59:34] <maximilian_h> Currently it is always starting at machine origin
[17:59:48] <maximilian_h> even though I have all coordinates in G91 incrememtal mode
[18:00:13] <cradek> I don't think so
[18:00:47] <maximilian_h> is the preview a function in axis that I can easily "touch" myself ?
[18:01:20] <maximilian_h> so that I can implement a redraw myself
[18:01:42] <cradek> sorry, I don't know what would be involved in making it work that way
[18:02:04] <maximilian_h> Ok, I'll have a look at the axis source myself
[18:02:22] <maximilian_h> do you happen to know at which source file I'll have to look ?
[18:02:22] <cradek> some way you'll have to feed it the initial position
[18:02:28] <maximilian_h> yes
[18:02:31] <cradek> I don't see how you'll make the preview move around as you jog the machine
[18:02:42] <cradek> that's the real issue isn't it?
[18:02:52] <maximilian_h> yes
[18:03:07] <maximilian_h> I jog the machine to the place from which I'd like to start
[18:03:15] <cradek> it seems like you could make it regenerate at reload time without much work. I suspect you don't really want to regenerate it every time the machine moves a little bit.
[18:03:41] <maximilian_h> no, just maybe a button to redraw at current position
[18:03:51] <cradek> well there is already a redraw button
[18:04:17] <maximilian_h> which one do you mean ?
[18:04:19] <cradek> this might be a general fix that would be appropriate to incorporate; let me know what you come up with please
[18:05:36] <maximilian_h> Yes, once I see a solution I'll get back in touch with you to discuss if the solution is ok
[18:06:02] <cradek> thanks, bbl
[18:06:28] <maximilian_h> but which redraw button do you mean ?
[18:07:05] <maximilian_h> In the axis that comes with 2.4.6 I don't see a redraw, or maybe I am handicapped ?
[18:08:27] <maximilian_h> there is the green arrows which is reload the ngc file
[18:08:48] <maximilian_h> and there is one to clear to already accumulated tool path
[18:25:20] <atom1> anonimasu, renshaw probes?

[20:39:01] <atom1> meter*
[20:39:40] <Jymmm> I think he's saying he has 200A max, but can feed it to any panel
[20:39:48] <JT-Shop> the house panel is feed from the meter, also next to the meter is a 200 amp service disconnect that feeds the garage and shop
[20:40:10] <atom1> that's sorta what i had pictured
[20:40:21] <JT-Shop> just like you can have 400 amps of breakers in a 200 amp panel
[20:40:29] <atom1> yeah
[20:40:45] <atom1> the disconnect makes it more serviceable
[20:41:08] <JT-Shop> yes I wish I had put one on the house too

[20:44:51] <Connor> Well.. It was the exact size I was wanting.. right in the middle.. bigger than the little bench top's, but, smaller than most.

[20:47:37] <Connor> Looking for one that can be easily converted to CNC.. and people have already done.
[20:48:17] <Jymmm> call tem and ask what stores still have one in stock
[20:48:53] <Connor> They're having issues with the motors it appears.

[20:54:11] <Connor> or something

[20:58:03] <Connor> Sounds like the Soup Nazi.
[20:58:13] <Jymmm> Mill Nazi!
[21:00:04] <Jymmm> I got some of these on the way http://www.dealextreme.com/p/designer-steel-tool-knife-7606

[21:07:09] <Jymmm> Is it just a rearanded china special?
[21:07:16] <Jymmm> rebranded
[21:07:53] <Connor> No, They've replaced the screws, with 20tpi, and replaced the dials so that they're true inch instead of 1/16"
[21:08:24] <Jymmm> So, it's modded china special?
[21:08:25] <Connor> They have it for 695.95 with R8 2/3Hp
[21:08:36] <Connor> Yea.
[21:08:56] <Jymmm> 2/3HP ????
[21:09:10] <Connor> MT3 Version with .47Hp motor..
[21:09:13] <Jymmm> My router motor is 2.25 HP
[21:09:19] <Connor> yea. .67 hp
[21:09:30] <Connor> These are X2 style.
[21:09:32] <Connor> Small guys
[21:09:50] <Jymmm> MY router is from Sears (rebranded Bosch)

[21:18:02] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Hey, you got my pet tag un/loader all designed out yet?
[21:23:39] <Jymmm> You know, I just thought of something. My laser has a DB9 connector in it that is to connect a rotary attachment to (for doing wine bottles, glasses, etc). I wonder if I could get away with using a single stepper motor on a round disc that rotates from the loading tube, to under the laser, to drop into an unloading hopper ???
[21:23:51] -!- OoBIGeye [OoBIGeye!~kent@81-231-96-193-no48.tbcn.telia.com] has joined #emc
[21:25:24] <JT-Shop> I'd bet you could make that work
[21:26:14] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Then just replace the top disc with a dofferent one to accomidate different shape pet tags
[21:27:38] <Jymmm> Even if i have to orient the tags by hand, still much faster than loading/unloading by hand.
[21:28:15] <Jymmm> Make lil tag magazines... 20 rounds, 100 rounds, lol
[21:28:21] <Jymmm> LOCK N LOAD!
[21:30:19] <JT-Shop> yep your on a roll now
[21:31:59] <anonimasu> atom1: not very much
[21:32:03] <JT-Shop> you could also use a shuttle if that makes more sense
[21:32:04] <Jymmm> Now I just have to figure out how they take an image and convert it for rotary engraving, then convert that to turret rotation

[21:32:30] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: shuttle?
[21:33:05] <anonimasu> atom1: you could easily make one with the same design if you are able to make pcb's
[21:33:40] <JT-Shop> a flat plate with a cutout to match the tag, it slides under the magazine and feeds tags out one at a time
[21:33:58] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Oh, yeah thats what I was thinking
[21:36:37] <JT-Shop> if you stack 2 cheap air cylinders back to back you now have a 3 position slide... pos1 pick tag, pos2 burn, pos3 eject

[21:58:08] -lindbohm.freenode.net:#emc- [freenode-info] channel flooding and no channel staff around to help? Please check with freenode support: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#gettinghelp
[22:00:08] <JT-Shop> yep, that works if you have the need for the speed and are willing to pay for that
[22:01:02] <Jymmm> Well, I have stepper motors already, and can laser cut the discs.
[22:01:13] <JT-Shop> when ever I design something I have to balance the production rate with the cost of the machine... if I can use a slide instead of a disk it saves me 75% of the cost of using a disk or more
[22:01:34] <JT-Shop> yea, if you can make all the parts go for the gusto
[22:01:40] <JT-Shop> make/have
[22:01:58] <Jymmm> But wouldn't a slde need to move 1,2,3,1?
[22:02:07] <JT-Shop> yep
[22:02:30] <JT-Shop> what cycle time do you need?
[22:02:37] <JT-Shop> not counting burning
[22:02:53] <Jymmm> I just figured the disc would save the extra movement need to go back home
[22:03:09] <JT-Shop> yes it does but it adds complexity
[22:03:22] <Jymmm> I just dont need to be there hand loading and unloading one tag at a time
[22:03:34] <JT-Shop> does 3 seconds per cycle sound like too much?
[22:03:39] <JT-Shop> for indexing
[22:03:57] <Jymmm> Full cycle?
[22:04:04] <JT-Shop> yea
[22:04:17] <atom1> depends what you're cycling
[22:04:23] <JT-Shop> or faster if your tags don't fly out
[22:05:04] <Jymmm> Heck it could be slower than that... open lid, remove old tag, load new tag, align to xy, close lid, hit start, repeat.
[22:05:13] <JT-Shop> but if you have a stepper to play with you just need some bearings and turntable and masks
[22:05:32] <Jymmm> ronically have some skate bearings too, abut 100
[22:05:37] <Jymmm> Ironically
[22:05:54] <JT-Shop> I have a box full of skate wheels too
[22:06:02] <JT-Shop> from a convayer
[22:08:43] <JT-Shop> for that matter Jymmm you could have a nest that holds 25 tags... load, put nest in, close lid, press start, load second nest...
[22:08:44] <Jymmm> Since there is no real weight (grams) and no pressure being applied (laser and gravity), I might be able to connect the top disc to a stepper motor shaft directly
[22:09:20] <JT-Shop> do you burn thousands of these at a time?
[22:09:21] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: That's an idea, I'm limited to 12" in the Y axis though.
[22:10:06] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: I plan on doing multiple short-run jobs. If I can do 10 or 100 per job, goto the next job, do another 100, etc
[22:10:07] <JT-Shop> you just need some fixture pins to align the nests inside of the laser
[22:10:30] <JT-Shop> nests sound easier to implement for that short of runs
[22:11:10] <Jymmm> If I can load a tube with 100 tags, might be less time consuming.
[22:11:32] <JT-Shop> as an added benefit the nest could have pins to align the tags
[22:11:47] <JT-Shop> might be, but is it worth the effort and cost?
[22:12:15] <Jymmm> It very well could be (new client prospect)
[22:12:31] <JT-Shop> only you would know that :)
[22:12:58] * JT-Shop wanders out to the new shop to do a little wiring
[22:13:10] <Jymmm> bu-bye
