[00:00:03] <FinboySlick> SWPadnos: No, ours use plain ATX.
[00:00:09] <SWPadnos> ah
[00:00:28] <SWPadnos> I've been wondering about some of the ones with integrated power supplies, but haven't tried any of those yet
[00:00:29] <FinboySlick> SWPadnos: Got them in a lovely little 1U 8" deep case.
[00:00:43] <SWPadnos> they're kind of expensive compared to a normal one and a PicoPSU
[00:01:12] <FinboySlick> SWPadnos: We needed 48v input so we went for a standard 48v 1U atx PSU.
[00:01:15] -!- OoBIGeye has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[00:01:25] <SWPadnos> ah
[00:01:44] <SWPadnos> incidentally, Netgear GS105T gigabit switches don't work so well on 48VDC
[00:01:52] <SWPadnos> just FYI
[00:02:17] <atom1> this case was recomended to me here and i'm happy with it: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811154091&cm_re=itx_case_with_power_supply-_-11-154-091-_-Product

[00:02:50] <FinboySlick> SWPadnos: They could be wonderful if they didn't use that dreadful config utility.
[00:03:02] <SWPadnos> which?
[00:03:07] -!- theorbtwo has quit [Read error: Operation timed out]
[00:03:12] <FinboySlick> SWPadnos: GS105T
[00:03:19] -!- theorbtwo [theorbtwo!~theorb@91.84.53.6] has joined #emc
[00:03:20] <SWPadnos> oh. actually I menat GS105, no T
[00:03:25] <SWPadnos> so not managed
[00:03:52] <FinboySlick> If there was a web if (like the 108T) for its built in features, it'd be a killer little switch for the price.
[00:05:41] <SWPadnos> hmm. is there a 105T?
[00:05:48] <SWPadnos> Netgear doesn't seem to think so
[00:06:41] <FinboySlick> I meant 105E apparently.
[00:06:56] <FinboySlick> http://www.netgear.com/business/products/switches/prosafe-plus-switches/GS105E.aspx
[00:07:03] <SWPadnos> ah. phew
[00:07:30] <Jymmm> wth is a 5port good for???
[00:08:05] <SWPadnos> well, for one thing you can stick them in a small case with a computer on the inside and "network in" and "network out" ports on the outside
[00:08:11] <FinboySlick> Jymmm: These can be used as surprisingly accurate little rate limiters, they can do vlan tagging on dumb hosts, etc.
[00:08:47] <Jymmm> 5 port managed switch?????????
[00:08:51] <FinboySlick> Yup.
[00:09:04] <FinboySlick> All it's missing is a non-idiotic way of managing it.
[00:09:16] <Jymmm> java?
[00:09:26] <FinboySlick> Adobe air or some other nonsense.
[00:09:34] <Jymmm> dumbasses
[00:10:03] <FinboySlick> Jymmm: I was thinking of reversing the protocol and writing a python config front-end at some point.
[00:10:19] <Jymmm> ssh ftw
[00:10:22] <elmo40> FinboySlick: that JetWay only has DDR2. Why is it more then the DDR3 version? same CPU. Although, it does support more memory then the DDR3 variant, odd. Maybe it is the PCIe slot that costs more?
[00:10:58] <atom1> pretty sure mine has a pcie slot
[00:11:42] <FinboySlick> elmo40: I don't know. The one I got had an add-in card for 3 (total 5) discrete gigabit lan, which is why we picked it.
[00:11:43] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: Ok, a 4x5" mgnd gig switch aint too shabby and even 12v too, not some funky ass 17.5 crap
[00:12:12] <Jymmm> it gets 3.5 stars, 5 if it had ssh
[00:12:13] <SWPadnos> I actually don't need the management (unless it's in the same case as the GS105)
[00:12:27] <SWPadnos> nope. too big :)
[00:12:37] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: pull it out of the enclosure
[00:12:53] <SWPadnos> hmmm. or not. apparently the new model is the same size. cool
[00:12:59] <Jymmm> just case the enclsoure fo rthe lifetime warranty
[00:13:05] <Jymmm> save
[00:13:10] <SWPadnos> Jymmm, that doesn't work so well - there's nothing to grab onto
[00:13:25] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: screw pules on teh pcb
[00:13:28] <Jymmm> holes
[00:13:37] <SWPadnos> the GS105 has two screws that hold the board to the case, in the back, and the front is held in place by the jacks
[00:13:39] <Jymmm> duct tape, velcro
[00:13:50] <SWPadnos> no good when you move the machines around
[00:13:58] <Jymmm> ok, DUCK tape
[00:14:07] <Jymmm> silicon
[00:14:13] <Jymmm> liquid nails
[00:14:25] <Jymmm> two part epoxy
[00:14:51] <SWPadnos> too bad there are pins sticking out the bottom of the board ;)
[00:15:06] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: lots of silicon
[00:15:09] <FinboySlick> You guys are likely to see a bit more of me in the coming weeks/months, btw. I bought some pretty serious steel for a total noob.
[00:15:21] <Jymmm> atom1: does that case PS have a fan in it?
[00:15:29] <SWPadnos> I thought about board guides, similar to the ones sometimes used for motherboards, but that actually takes up more space
[00:15:52] <FinboySlick> SWPadnos: What are you trying to put it in?
[00:16:38] <SWPadnos> oh, there's a system I designed that uses 12-24 computers which are in custom-cut enclosures
[00:17:04] <SWPadnos> each enclosure has a mini-ITX PC, SSD, ethernet switch, and other custom hardware
[00:17:55] <Jymmm> (detonator)
[00:18:03] <SWPadnos> the switch is so they can daisy-chain, and the computers don't have to be on (as they would need to be if you used software routing on motherboards with 2 ports)
[00:18:08] <FinboySlick> Why a bunch of 5 ports then? Wouldn't you have better port density with a larger switch?
[00:18:09] <Jymmm> (Secure Rf Trigger)
[00:18:17] <SWPadnos> not within each case
[00:18:29] <FinboySlick> SWPadnos: Oooh.
[00:18:49] <FinboySlick> SWPadnos: There are boards with dual-lan that do passthrough when off.
[00:18:55] <SWPadnos> gigabit?
[00:19:06] <Jymmm> 10GigE ?
[00:19:18] <FinboySlick> SWPadnos: Think so. I found them while shopping for another embeded thing, lemme look.
[00:19:51] <SWPadnos> does it act like a switch/bridge when the board is on?
[00:20:02] <SWPadnos> I wouldn't want routing to change when I boot up each machine
[00:20:30] <SWPadnos> and there's also the time between power-up and OS switching, when I'd rather keep the connection active

[00:21:32] <FinboySlick> SWPadnos: I think it acts like a pair of interfaces when it's on so you'd probably want to start a bridge early. I'll have to find one.
[00:21:46] <SWPadnos> ok. post a link if you find it. gotta run though, thanks
[00:24:16] <Jymmm> atom1 you whore, get back to the kybd!
[00:24:34] <atom1> huh?
[00:24:41] <atom1> what did i do now?
[00:24:56] <Jymmm> atom1: you have that apex case?
[00:25:07] <atom1> yessir
[00:25:32] <atom1> http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/intel_atom/atom_index.php
[00:25:50] <Jymmm> atom1: Favor, could you take some hi-res photos of the internal front bezel and the side vents? I'd like to mod it with some lights
[00:26:26] <atom1> in a bit i can

[00:26:29] <Jymmm> atom1: is that a 2.5 or 3.5 hdd?
[00:26:36] <atom1> 2.5
[00:26:39] <atom1> on the side
[00:26:44] <Jymmm> yeah, ew
[00:26:47] <atom1> it wasn't really meant to mount there
[00:26:57] <Jymmm> k
[00:27:03] <atom1> the rails were made for a 3.5
[00:27:10] <Jymmm> they even sell replacement PS too
[00:27:24] <FinboySlick> Cute, a little sherline! I have one of those. Sadly not CNC though.
[00:27:27] <Jymmm> atom1: http://www.apextechusa.com/products.asp?pID=42
[00:27:55] <atom1> nice
[00:28:08] <Jymmm> atom1: Yeah, I wanted to see if it had a fan in it
[00:28:13] <atom1> it does
[00:28:19] <atom1> it runs really slow
[00:28:29] <Jymmm> it's variable speed
[00:29:34] <Jymmm> atom1: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817154024&Tpk=AL-8250SFX
[00:29:59] <Jymmm> atom1: cheaper than buying a replcement fan
[00:30:05] <Jymmm> for the price
[00:30:09] <atom1> yup
[00:30:25] <Jymmm> atom1: is the fornt bezel plastic?
[00:30:31] <atom1> yes
[00:30:37] <atom1> snaps in with 4 clips
[00:30:45] <Jymmm> atom1: PVC ?
[00:30:52] <atom1> i'll get some pics in a few min
[00:30:55] <atom1> probably
[00:31:12] <Jymmm> atom1: FUUUUCK, I cna't lsaer PVC anything else sure
[00:31:38] <atom1> any way to tell for sure?
[00:31:50] <atom1> the recycle mark on the back maybe?
[00:31:51] <atom1> if it has one
[00:32:13] <Jymmm> atom1: Well, if you can get a piece of the plastic itself, there is a destrucive test for pvc
[00:33:27] <Jymmm> Get a piece of copper wire (14-13ga), and tourch it till there in no more green color in the flame. touch the hot wire to the plastic till a bit melts on it, hit it with the tourch agian and if there is a green flame == Chrlorine == PVC
[00:33:48] <Jymmm> less the typos
[00:34:28] <atom1> you just want me to screw up my front bezel :D
[00:35:08] <atom1> maybe there's some flash on the back...
[00:35:40] <Jymmm> atom1: Nah, like cd bezel

[00:41:26] <Jymmm> atom1: Or if there was a way I could fab my own bezel and attach it would work too
[00:42:53] <atom1> ok, you want pics of the inside front and what else?
[00:43:13] -!- atom1 has quit []
[00:43:43] <Jymmm> If you remove the bezel, the metal where the bezel would sit, the inside of the bezel itself, and the inside of the vents of the vents of the cover
[00:44:18] <Tom_L> i'll take a few here and if you want more detail we'll go from there

[00:49:43] <Jymmm> OH HAWT DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[00:49:51] <Jymmm> I can do ABS =)
[00:50:22] <Jymmm> and there is a 3pin fan header on the mobo
[00:51:35] <ds3> do ABS?
[00:51:56] <Jymmm> ds3: I can laser any plastic BUT PVC
[00:52:04] <Jymmm> lethal
[00:52:14] <Jymmm> to hu-mons and machine
[00:52:34] <ds3> Jymmm: have you cut ABS yet?
[00:52:42] <Jymmm> nah
[00:53:08] <ds3> the problem I found was massive warping in ABS
[00:53:23] <Jymmm> Yeah, too much heat for too long.
[00:53:43] <ds3> how much power do you hve?
[00:53:49] <Jymmm> 30W
[00:54:22] <ds3> I have 40W and I used max power
[00:54:30] <ds3> acrylic is the only one that is reliable
[00:54:54] <Valen> FinboySlick: the mesa products plug into a normal PC, they run the servo and stepper controllers, not the whole thing
[00:54:56] <ds3> well, and paper ;)
[00:54:59] <Valen> I use a dual core atom

[01:13:55] <Jymmm> mounting, clearance, blah blah blah
[01:14:15] <Jymmm> LOL you use PCB for a table top, that's funny
[01:15:15] <Tom_L> that's a small piece

[01:17:33] <Jymmm> these holes http://www.apextechusa.com/images_u/psu/AL-B200SFXa.jpg
[01:18:02] <Tom_L> i think they blow but i'll check once i get it plugged back in
[01:18:07] <Jymmm> np
[01:18:37] <Jymmm> In the 3.5" slot, it looks Like I could mount fan blowing up on the bottom of the hdd

[01:21:11] <Tom_L> yes
[01:21:19] <Tom_L> i was just getting ready to say that
[01:21:31] <Tom_L> no fan unless you mod it
[01:21:42] <Jymmm> well, I guess I could cut it, not like it'll show
[01:22:17] <Tom_L> might be hard to get to to cut
[01:22:28] <Jymmm> it looks removable
[01:22:40] <Tom_L> riveted from the front
[01:22:52] <Tom_L> you might take out the psu and get to it from the top

[01:33:41] <Tom_L> i got that one
[01:34:11] <ds3> Jymmm: say I pay you to cut a 1" square, can you give me a 1.000x1.000 peice +/-0.001 and have all the corners be 90deg?

[01:34:47] <Jymmm> how thick?
[01:34:47] <Tom_L> does it flare the edged like waterjet?
[01:34:53] <Tom_L> edges*
[01:34:58] <ds3> say 0.125 nominal (i.e. 3mm)
[01:35:02] <Jymmm> Tom_L: tapered you mean?

[01:37:37] <Jymmm> is the sq an insert? wall? bracket?
[01:38:07] <ds3> Jymmm: that is just a test sample size.. the actual peices are basically a bezel around a LCD
[01:38:18] <Jymmm> ah

[01:41:09] <Jymmm> trapazoid from side or top view?
[01:41:15] <ds3> top
[01:41:23] <Jymmm> oh, heh.
[01:41:23] <ds3> side view is normal with lasers
[01:41:32] <ds3> hence the belief I have a lash issue
[01:41:55] <ds3> I can reproduce it on cardboard. always homing before changing directions seems to have a lot (at least on paper)
[01:42:09] <Jymmm> ah, gotcha
[01:42:20] <Jymmm> 1/8" or ???
[01:42:33] <ds3> 1/8"
[01:42:53] <Jymmm> actual dimensions?
[01:43:41] <ds3> final dimensions depends on how well things simulate in alibre (got a nasty "flex" cable to accomodate)
[01:44:51] <Jymmm> I have some 0.108" clear
[01:44:52] <ds3> no peice will be bigger then a letter size paper
[01:45:03] <ds3> I can supply material
[01:45:17] <ds3> going to have to get it regardless if I do it or someone else does it
[01:45:29] <Jymmm> cast or extruded?
[01:45:54] <ds3> cast, IIRC... it'll probally be the stuff from tap with the paper backing

[01:46:14] <Jymmm> well, hold off on buying it.
[01:46:29] <ds3> why?
[01:46:36] <Jymmm> do you need JSUT the window, or an entire enclosure?

[01:46:58] <ds3> I need the enclosure and it is designed as a laminate of 1/8" peices
[01:47:17] <ds3> anyways... can you cut it accurately? otherwise this is moot
[01:48:40] <Jymmm> Sure, not measured to 0.001" but I can adjust for beam kerf to accomiate a snug fit. Even weather can effect the results.
[01:49:40] <ds3> Hmmm
[01:50:41] <ds3> Jymmm: what about squareness? that really got me into a bind with that one
[01:51:09] <Jymmm> My laser is not a "home brew" system if that's what you mean.
[01:51:18] <Jymmm> It's a ULS M-300
[01:51:20] <ds3> as in, that case is actually inside out (buttons are on the wrong side) due to the inability to assembly it
[01:51:48] <ds3> Jymmm: I donno if this is an emdemic problem to lasers or just my poor quality chinese laser

[02:00:13] <ds3> shouldn't be too complex... if there are sticky stuff, I can design it out ;)
[02:00:39] <ds3> atom1: still modeling it to make sure the cables can fit (!@#$@!$#;2R$!@$#@! flex cable with a non flex section in the middle)
[02:00:39] <Jymmm> (famous last words ;)
[02:01:01] <ds3> Jymmm: I am designing it assuming I was going to cut it myself
[02:01:12] <ds3> so I either tackle the lash issues or outsource it
[02:01:34] <ds3> and I write the G-code for EMC to cut it
[02:02:53] <Jymmm> I don't need to write/use gcode
[02:03:12] <ds3> yes, but that gives you an upperbound on complexity

[16:38:33] <tom3p> skunkworks_, often the old 'spool valves' ( moog & pegasus brands ) were just 20ma devices, and any amplifier was more for signal matching than amplifying :)
[16:39:18] <tom3p> meaning a simple op-amp might suffice ( it'd buffer and size & offset for you )
[16:40:02] <tom3p> the valve is the real amplifier, converting 20ma to thousands of pounds of pressure

[16:41:08] <tom3p> elmo401, use a text editor and vismach try the examples in your emc installation, see the 'vismach' directory
[16:41:27] <elmo401> there are simple machines in there? 3-axis?
[16:42:40] <tom3p> well the 'hbm' is 4 axis xyzw
[16:43:36] <tom3p> my dir is full of different attempts, but the other choices in a std install are a bit complex ( like 5 to 9 axis )
[16:43:46] <tom3p> so start looking into hbm
[16:45:20] <tom3p> i should set up a fixed bed one, my machines have fixed tables and move the xyzwc from a pedastal sitting behind the fixed table.
[16:45:43] <tom3p> and A&B are trunnions mounted on fixed table
[16:46:40] <tom3p> damn the hack for displaying the HUD is in the vismach.py, so i always get same message on all cfgs :(

[17:17:30] <anonimasu> yes
[17:18:05] <anonimasu> one that works very good, just the issue about the serial transfer that i figured out
[17:18:14] <IchGuckLive> yes means there is a controling on the mashine working ?
[17:18:30] <anonimasu> yes
[17:18:45] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: Donkey
[17:19:16] <anonimasu> got emc on other machines, but the issue is that I cant really swap that over since I'd have to teach others how to use g-code or cad/cam for everything
[17:19:31] <anonimasu> better fixed cycles, and stuf for drilling/boring/facemilling and everything
[17:19:36] <tom3p> anonimasu, there is a source code available for LSV2 transfer protocol. i used to have it , i bet those contacts can get you the src
[17:20:03] <anonimasu> tom3p: I figured out my big problem it was with a usb->rs232 adapter but im wondering in general if it's supposed to be slow
[17:20:06] <IchGuckLive> anonimasu: im from Germany so you only need the transfering
[17:20:33] <tom3p> for those who think gcode is easy, they havent used canned cycles on heidenhain ( its the MAC of CNC's )
[17:20:40] <anonimasu> agreed :)
[17:20:46] <IchGuckLive> anonimasu: your mashine does accept RS485 i think
[17:21:08] <anonimasu> no
[17:21:10] <anonimasu> only rs232
[17:21:22] <anonimasu> it's a old control but it works too well for 90% of the stuff i do to replace
[17:21:32] <anonimasu> and we'll see if it's up to cut this stuff
[17:21:40] <tom3p> anonimasu, agreed usb2ser is a prob withthe heid protocols, best find ancient laptop with rs232 and use dos xfer apps
[17:22:10] <anonimasu> i'm gonna get set up with a normal computer someday soon
[17:22:11] <tom3p> (dos xfer apps from heid )
[17:22:25] <IchGuckLive> http://www.adontec.com/index.htm?GO=/plsv2_e.htm
[17:22:26] <anonimasu> it made a wold of difference with another adapter but i still think a normal serial port would push data faster
[17:22:32] <IchGuckLive> there is a free tool
[17:23:01] <anonimasu> seems like the new adapter did 2kb/s
[17:23:24] <Jymmm> TRUE UART, DOS support as well as linux, mac, etc... http://www.microbarn.com/details.aspx?rid=102431
[17:23:32] <anonimasu> and the old one did like 0.9kb/s
[17:23:45] <anonimasu> probably a normal port would be even faster
[17:24:23] <Jymmm> and only $16 too
[17:24:30] <anonimasu> tom3p: ah so you knew about the usb to serial problem ^_^
[17:24:35] <tom3p> Jymm its the LSV2 protocol thats the bitch
[17:24:46] <anonimasu> I think it relies on interrupts or something
[17:25:05] <Jymmm> USB polling is the issue with USB2Serial
[17:25:14] <anonimasu> that's what I figured
[17:25:15] <IchGuckLive> anonimasu: Notebook or Dektop
[17:25:27] <tom3p> lsv2 ( heidenhain & bosch ) http://www.control.com/thread/1002637731
[17:25:45] <anonimasu> they still keep the lsv2 for the new controls so it cant be extremely terribly bad
[17:26:01] <Jymmm> tom3p: I love telling ppl I have a serial port on my Mac =)
[17:26:16] <anonimasu> my control is supposed to handle 60m/min so how the hell can they not allow for enough data to be transferred :)
[17:26:53] <anonimasu> IchGuckLive: btw, that 160k lines was the finishing op :)

[21:54:49] <skunkworks_> ?
[21:54:52] <cradek> skunkworks_: cool - can you keep that amp part? looks like several amps at +-10v

[21:55:29] <skunkworks_> cradek: sadly - we had thrown them out...

[21:56:13] <cradek> oh noooooo
[21:56:13] <skunkworks_> heh
[21:56:26] <cradek> darnit
[21:56:35] <skunkworks_> ;) - so - we like re-inventing the wheel.
[21:57:04] <cradek> you don't have six spare machines just like this?
[21:57:14] <alex_joni> haha
[21:57:24] <skunkworks_> we have 2 - but all but one was scrapped.
[21:57:34] <skunkworks_> did that make sense? ;)
[21:57:49] <alex_joni> we're used to you by now, don't feel bad
[21:57:55] <alex_joni> :P
[21:58:24] <cradek> wonder what DIR COIL is
[22:01:02] <skunkworks_> dir coil?
[22:01:33] <cradek> contacts between amp and valve, NC shorting the output (?)
[22:01:58] <skunkworks_> ah - I see
[22:02:18] <skunkworks_> I bet estop maybe?
[22:02:27] <cradek> yeah maybe so
[22:02:31] <skunkworks_> some sort of safety coil
[22:02:43] <skunkworks_> it makes sense that it is n/c
[22:03:01] <cradek> right
[22:03:41] <skunkworks_> the valve is actually 4 coils hooked in parallel - wonder if you could hook them in series for higher voltage and more sensitivity
[22:04:30] <skunkworks_> *2 sets of coils hooked in parallel

[23:32:51] <Jymmm> Anyone enjoy chess?
[23:33:10] <jdhNC> no, I find it quite frustrating
[23:33:19] <Jymmm> LOL
[23:33:31] <Jymmm> Patience Grasshoper
[23:34:01] <Jymmm> jdhNC: What do you think of GO then?
[23:34:32] <jdhNC> never really played
[23:34:38] <Jymmm> ah
[23:35:19] <Jymmm> I was just looking for ideas for a themed chessboard
[23:35:24] <Jymmm> on granite
[23:35:51] <jdhNC> back in college, when I used to partake in things of a less than legal nature, I would play chess and we played go for a brief time.
[23:36:20] <Jymmm> Maybe I could do something like this and overlay the scene... http://www.victorianweb.org/art/illustration/tenniel/lookingglass/2.3.jpg
[23:36:38] <Jymmm> how in the hell do you play chess stoned?!
[23:36:56] <Jymmm> well, I guess you don't actually.
[23:37:04] <jdhNC> sure you do, just not so well.
[23:37:10] <jdhNC> but, you think it is
[23:37:16] <Jymmm> lol
[23:37:27] <Jymmm> chess with a checkers mentality, huh?
[23:37:41] <jdhNC> no, as I recall, it took a realllly long time to play
[23:37:47] <Jymmm> Oh I bet
[23:38:33] <Jymmm> I like that tree scene a lot. I think I have some line art like that already.
[23:38:39] <jdhNC> we wrote a lot of code on a TRS80 model I also
[23:38:59] <Jymmm> Oh, like that took effort. <rolls eyes>
[23:39:10] <Jymmm> too it longer to rewind
[23:39:14] <Jymmm> took
[23:40:32] <Jymmm> plowed fields might give the field some character
