[00:07:48] <JT-Shop> actually quite good if prepared right
[00:08:03] <JT-Shop> you can't freeze it as it turns to mush

[06:25:49] <The_Ball> Does anybody know if you use close loop servo/stepper control and use EMC as a DRO in e-stop mode, would backlash be active in the DRO display?
[06:26:28] <The_Ball> (backlash compensation)
[06:43:05] <awallin_> the dro/display would normally read a value based on encoder counts, which would not have any compensation applied to it
[06:43:08] <archivist> closed loop and backlash is a non starter, that has a discontinuity in the loop
[06:43:45] <The_Ball> I see
[06:44:33] <The_Ball> archivist, there isn't backlash in the closed loop, but there is backlash in the acme thread the servo drives, which emc compensates for when changing direction

e-jones [e-jones!~jkastner@nat/redhat/x-zzstlgjqcnhvcuot] has joined #emc
[06:45:51] <archivist> with out it in the loop, you can just lean on the table and it move and no way for emc to see the movement
[06:47:34] <The_Ball> that's of course true, but when changing the direction on the handwheel it would be nice for the DRO not to update for the first 0.05mm or whatever the backlash is
[06:47:51] <archivist> I do have compensation on my stepper machine (open loop), but im careful how I write code so readings are always on the driven side for a cut
[06:48:46] <The_Ball> sure, no climb milling... or is that down milling..
[06:49:13] -!-
mhaberler has quit [Quit: mhaberler]
[06:49:32] <archivist> yes no climb milling but that is also a method of using one side of the screw for measurment
[06:50:28] <archivist> that matters to me most on the rotaries
[06:51:46] <The_Ball> I've got a direct drive linear motor for a rotary, so shouldn't have a problem there, but that's a different project

[11:13:54] <Paragon39> jthornton: Thanks for the offer... I may well do as I am completely new to it. I purchased a 8x relay card and wish to send on / off signals to the relays by using classicladder (as an initial test) . The relay card connects to the paraport. Could you give me some quick get this going quick pointers? ;-)
[11:15:44] <jthornton> make sure you only use an output once
[11:16:12] <jthornton> think like a plc 1 scan inputs, 2 solve logic, 3 update outputs
[11:17:13] <Paragon39> Would that be a rung you just described?
[11:17:28] <jthornton> that is the whole program
[11:17:54] <jthornton> a plc reads all inputs, solves all logic, then updates all outputs
[11:18:23] <Paragon39> Right, I see what you mean.
[11:18:28] <jthornton> you might set up some pyvcp buttons to test with
[11:19:05] <Paragon39> That maybe the an easier route..
[11:19:16] <jthornton> so in hal you connect the pyvcp button to the ladder input and the ladder output to your parallel port pin
[11:19:43] <jthornton> what is the intended use of the relay card?
[11:19:59] <Paragon39> That is exactly what I am looking at...
[11:20:37] <jthornton> I use ladder for a few things like my way oiler and my tool turret
[11:21:24] <jthornton> for the oiler if there is motion it starts a timer after a numbers of seconds it gives a squirt of oil...
[11:22:09] <Paragon39> The card will eventually start main spindle, Control tool change motor 12v/24v Forward and reverse.
[11:23:12] <Paragon39> The tool changer uses greycode as output so was looking at classicladder for this purpose.
[11:23:35] <Paragon39> Like the oiler idea :-)
[11:23:38] <jthornton> so for the spindle it would be easier to just do that in hal unless you wanted to get experience with classicladder
[11:24:02] <The_Ball> jthornton, "tool turret", you show off ;)
[11:24:08] * The_Ball want's one
[11:24:14] <jthornton> yes, my tool turret has an absolute encoder
[11:24:22] <Paragon39> Sure hal would be easier and I will probably use that for spindle :-)
[11:25:12] <jthornton> but it would be a good exercise to do a simple one first
[11:26:04] <jthornton> later on today I'll put my tool turret classicladder on the forum
[11:26:06] <Paragon39> I am in the process of converting a Denford Starturn lathe to EMC2. Most of the signalling is 12v. For example it has baldour senses for home switches etc
[11:27:36] <Paragon39> jthornton: That would be great to see. As you mentioned I am looking at learning ClassicLadder for the interest of it as much as anything else.
[11:28:05] <jthornton> ok, I'll post it when I get out to the shop
[11:29:06] <jthornton> I'm using 2.5 on my lathe so the tool abort thing works say if my turret missed the latch
[11:29:08] <Paragon39> jthornton: Thanks, let me know when it's up and I'll take a look at it... :-)
[11:29:41] <Paragon39> jthornton: 2.5?
[11:30:09] <Paragon39> Version?
[11:30:10] <jthornton> EMC 2.5
[11:30:17] <Paragon39> OK :-)

http://www.linuxcnc.org/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,20/func,view/catid,25/id,9584/lang,english/#9584
[13:57:09] <Paragon39> Thanks JT-Shop
[14:05:41] <JT-Shop> you might want to refresh the screen, I made a few corrections
[14:08:24] <Paragon39> JT-Shop: What do you mean by timer input on block?
[14:08:44] <Paragon39> Ie the timer is already running?
[14:09:37] <JT-Shop> the way a TP type of timer works is when you turn on the I (input) the output Q stays on for the duration of the preset
[14:10:30] <JT-Shop> so looking at the upper branch if moving > 0 then the run is true up to that point
[14:11:23] <JT-Shop> if TM2 is running and the Q output is on then the normally closed contact in front of the timer has changed states and is open
[14:11:42] -!-
mk0 has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[14:12:15] <JT-Shop> once TM2 times out then the N/C contact is closed and if moving is true then the timers starts up again
[14:12:33] <Paragon39> JT-Shop: I think it was the way I was reading it... ie as one sentence as opposed to If timer 2 output is on then block the input.
[14:12:56] <JT-Shop> yea, that is not really very clear
[14:13:48] <Paragon39> and not being familiar with the working of classicladder I took it literally.
[14:13:48] -!-
pingufan has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[14:13:57] <JT-Shop> lol
[14:14:14] <Paragon39> :-)
[14:15:48] <JT-Shop> do a refresh and see if it makes better sense now
[14:16:11] <Paragon39> That makes sense now :-) .. BTW I tested the relay with pycvp.
[14:16:34] <JT-Shop> cool
[14:16:41] <Paragon39> looking now
[14:17:22] <JT-Shop> the pinkish-red indicates that part of the rung is true
[14:18:46] <JT-Shop> when a rung or branch evaluates true all the way to the output then the output is true
[14:19:30] <JT-Shop> if any part of the rung up to the output is false then the output will also be false
[14:23:16] <mrsunshine_> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpA9FHcC3Vg&feature=related <-- in the beginning of that film, at like 1 minute, damn that vise was smart =)
[14:24:09] <Paragon39> Right... I think line 2 and 3 are a little confusing they both mention 'if timer 2 output is on'
[14:25:11] <Paragon39> But they appear to have conflicting output?
[14:27:21] <Paragon39> It's probably the way I am reading it ;-)
[14:31:44] <JT-Shop> I'm trying to describe the state of the N/C contact
[14:32:24] <JT-Shop> the contact is TM2.Q so when the timer output is on the state of the contact is reversed from normal
[14:32:58] <JT-Shop> I added more
[14:33:01] <Paragon39> Arrr... got it!
[14:33:27] <JT-Shop> take a look at the other two screenshots
[14:39:05] <Paragon39> JT-Shop: Those screenshots make it much more clearer :-)
[14:48:21] <JT-Shop> Paragon39: do a refresh and see if the new image helps
[14:49:48] <JT-Shop> opps just fixed a typo
[14:50:37] <JT-Shop> I raccoon I better do some work
[14:51:03] <Paragon39> JT-Shop: Just did a refresh but it appears to be the same as before... Thanks for uploading this info JT!

[14:56:51] <JT-Shop> yea
[14:57:25] <Paragon39> JT-Shop: The explanation is much clearer. BTW the typo was it having two on's in the previous step 2 and 3?

[15:31:26] <anonimasu> an inch...
[15:31:54] <archivist> they are more likely referring to tenths of a thou

[15:35:00] <anonimasu> I figured 0.025mm
[15:36:54] <archivist> some have unrealistic expectations for mechanical accuracy
[15:37:17] <archivist> far too many error sources

[17:08:59] <cpresser> did anyone successfully use a stepgen combined with a RC-Lowpass to generate a analogue-signal?
[17:09:25] <cpresser> i am wondering it it is possible to controll my VFD (which has a 0-10V input) with this method
[17:09:54] <archivist> look at pwm output
[17:11:52] <archivist> example at
http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html/examples_spindle.html
[17:12:55] <archivist> so its pwmgen not stepgen
[17:13:06] <cpresser> nice. ty
[17:14:17] <PCW> If you are picky run a CMOS PWM buffer powered from a reference voltage into a Op Amp (x2 gain for 5V buffer)
[17:15:05] <PCW> well into a RC filter with a op amp fiollower+gain

[17:27:45] <Connor> IchGuckLive: That's whole idea of making it open source.. If you want to use a low cost encoder.. your welcome to.. I'll write the code in such a way that it can work with it. you'll have to set a multiplier.

[17:30:36] <Connor> I have a I2C Backpack, and a custom serial Arduion backpak.
[17:30:58] <jdhNC> i2c would be nifty, where did you get that?

[17:47:32] <IchGuckLive> B)
[17:51:03] <ssi_> I got some inexpensive encoders from digikey, but the mounting backs of them aren't big enough to be able to use the existing tapped holes in the backs of my steppers
[17:51:35] <ssi_> and I don't want to pull the backs off the steppers to drill and tap new holes, cause I've heard letting the rotor move around laterally will screw up the holding torque
[17:51:47] <ssi_> think I could get away with epoxying the encoder back to the stepper?
[17:54:17] <IchGuckLive> ssi do you have a link for them

[17:56:23] <IchGuckLive> there are on Faulhaber DC motors for 5Euros
[17:56:42] <IchGuckLive> so you got the 56xx series
[17:58:12] <ssi_> the mounting bases on them are kinda sacrificial
[17:58:20] <ssi_> so I figured epoxying them down probably wouldn't be a big deal
[17:58:33] <ssi_> and there's not really any force on the encoder

[19:29:16] <atom1> minimal but will be ok
[19:29:33] <Jymmm> those six caps in series/parallel?
[19:29:43] <atom1> i'll parallel them
[19:30:02] <atom1> and the 2 transformers after the diode packs
[19:30:25] <Jymmm> ehhhhhhhhh, ok
[19:30:38] <atom1> gotta run
[19:30:43] <Jymmm> keep looking though
[19:30:57] <atom1> it should be ok
[19:31:09] <atom1> if not i can split the steppers
[19:31:28] <Jymmm> sure, but singular always better, especially if problem
[19:31:32] <Jymmm> arise
[19:31:49] <Jymmm> look at torriods too
[19:31:53] <atom1> i know but you can be picky with surplus
[19:32:06] <atom1> so 12A @50v

[19:43:55] <ssi_> to cut the pip, yes?
[19:44:00] <JT-Shop> if the sub uses g41/42 you need the radius set in the tool table

[19:48:37] <JT-Shop> #<stock-diameter> = #1 (=1.000 Stock Diameter)
[19:48:44] <JT-Shop> http://www.linuxcnc.org/images/fbfiles/files/face2.ngc
[19:49:22] <ssi_> what's different?
[19:49:23] <JT-Shop> use that ^^^ one
[19:49:57] <ssi_> I see
[19:50:03] <ssi_> < G0 X[#<stock-diameter>+0.050] Z[#<start-z>+0.050]
[19:50:03] <ssi_> ---
[19:50:04] <ssi_> > G0 X[#<stock-diameter>+#5410] Z[#<start-z>+#5410]
[19:50:06] <ssi_> proper cutter comp
[19:50:08] <JT-Shop> it ain't full of < than and >
[19:50:13] <ssi_> plus set zero
[19:50:52] <JT-Shop> I use the set zero to face off the end of the stock then set the end of the stock as Z0 for the rest of the ops
[19:50:54] <ssi_> ok silly side question for you
[19:51:10] <ssi_> you are calling T#<tool> M6 G43
[19:51:22] <ssi_> in my code that I've written so far, I've done G43H#<tool>
[19:51:58] <ssi_> does G43 alone give you the offset for the selected tool, and H allows you to use offset for a separate tool?
[19:52:00] <JT-Shop> the order doesn't matter, I just prefer it that way as it is logical in my mind LOL
[19:52:06] <JT-Shop> oh H
[19:52:10] <JT-Shop> I missed that
[19:52:21] <ssi_> yea ok that looks right
[19:52:30] <ssi_> looks like G43 alone uses the current T's slot
[19:52:42] <JT-Shop> H allows you to use an offset of a tool that is not loaded AFAIK without looking
[19:52:43] <ssi_> T2 G43H3 would give you tool 2 but tool 3's compensation
[19:52:58] <JT-Shop> yea, crassh city
[19:53:01] <ssi_> heheh
[19:53:24] <JT-Shop> that's another reason I to Tn M6 G43
[19:53:30] <JT-Shop> I do
[19:53:36] <ssi_> yeah I'll stop using the H
[19:53:38] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Crash City? Nah, I prefer JTown instead.
[19:53:41] <ssi_> I just thought I had to for wahtever reason
[19:54:17] <JT-Shop> Jymmm: hurry up and come over there's lots of insulation left to hang on the walls today
[19:55:14] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Wouldn't that cause a riot in JTown?
[19:55:23] <ssi_> yeah I dunno why, but it's still hanging up in a loop whenever I try to finalize
[19:55:28] <ssi_> nothing on the console
[19:57:58] <JT-Shop> odd
[19:59:37] <JT-Shop> ssi_: try this one
http://www.linuxcnc.org/images/fbfiles/files/od-210333afdb0cd20f1a1878435175df8c.txt
[19:59:58] <ssi_> you think it's the od sub itself causing the issue?
[20:02:09] <ssi_> same thing... I hit finalize, I see it populate the code box at the bottom
[20:02:14] <ssi_> but spinny cursor and locked up
[20:02:29] <ssi_> and high load on the machine, too
[20:02:41] <Jymmm> pause the pr0n dl
[20:02:49] <ssi_> dedicated machine
[20:03:02] <Jymmm> dedicated pr0n machine? nice!
[20:03:10] <ssi_> nah, that's a different machine :D
[20:03:17] <Jymmm> ah, gotcha
[20:03:29] <psha> single task machines are coming back!
[20:03:32] <psha> bb
[20:03:34] -!-
psha has quit [Quit: leaving]
[20:03:50] <Jymmm> Yeah, their called VM's.
[20:04:10] <ssi_> yup
[20:04:28] <ssi_> back in the day, we had tiny wimpy machines and aspirations for big tasks
[20:04:32] <ssi_> so we created beowulf clusters
[20:04:36] <ssi_> now we have fast machines and nothing to do with them
[20:04:39] <ssi_> so we virtualize :D
[20:04:58] <JT-Shop> ssi_: must be something in the config then
[20:05:23] <JT-Shop> this is the step by step for 2.4.x
http://www.linuxcnc.org/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,20/func,view/catid,40/id,8285/lang,english/
[20:05:30] <Jymmm> I have this 2U 8 removable bay full depth box that's just too deep. Else it be a NAS box in a heartbeat.
[20:05:30] <ssi_> http://pastebin.com/gngX0ZDi
[20:05:59] <ssi_> i followed those directions exactly
[20:06:27] <ssi_> except I used the lathe subs
[20:06:40] <ssi_> and I moved them from my config's subroutines dir into ~/emc2/nc_files/
[20:09:05] <JT-Shop> the tcl and py files are in your config directory?
[20:09:10] <ssi_> correct
[20:09:31] <JT-Shop> Hmmmmm
[20:10:24] <JT-Shop> and everything seems correct until you hit finalize?
[20:10:41] <ssi_> yep
[20:10:50] <ssi_> I see it generate g-code in the box, and then it locks the hell up
[20:11:06] <ssi_> one time I hit finalize, and it had a tool number that didnt exist in my tool table
[20:11:13] <ssi_> it gave me an error dialog about that, and locked up
[20:11:18] <ssi_> and every time I Have to kill emc
[20:12:05] <JT-Shop> you see g code in the white box at the bottom of Axis?
[20:12:09] <ssi_> yes
[20:12:41] <JT-Shop> I'm stumped at the moment
[20:12:53] * JT-Shop hollers Dewey!
[20:12:58] <ssi_> heheh
[20:16:02] <JT-Shop> try this one
http://pastebin.com/8bCDmKs0
[20:16:06] <JT-Shop> name it test.ngc
[20:16:40] <ssi_> ke
[20:20:14] <ssi_> I got a "missing equals sign" in auto.ngc
[20:20:17] <ssi_> and then the same spinny lockup
[20:22:47] <JT-Shop> #<length> = #1 (=1 test length)
[20:22:49] <JT-Shop> opps
[20:23:40] <ssi_> k trying again
[20:24:47] <ssi_> same thing
[20:24:53] <ssi_> #<length> = #1 (=1 test length)
[20:24:56] <ssi_> is what I made it
[20:25:01] <fragalot> could EMC run via a GPIO instead of parallel port?
[20:25:07] <ssi_> dialog says "equal sign missing in parameter setting"
[20:25:14] <ssi_> line 20, auto.ngc

tom3p [tom3p!~tomp@74-93-88-241-Illinois.hfc.comcastbusiness.net] has joined #emc
[20:25:34] <ssi_> and locked up as usual
[20:36:21] <JT-Shop> did you restart EMC after making the change?
[20:36:25] <ssi_> yes
[20:36:57] <ssi_> I'll try it again
[20:38:18] <ssi_> same thingh :P
[20:40:37] * fragalot takes this as a "possibly"
[20:41:08] <fragalot> i'm looking at the nohrtec JrMX with the 24bit GPIO option to replace my halfdead laptop cnc controller
[20:45:11] <JT-Shop> ssi_: something must be wrong with the tcl or py file
[20:45:19] <cpresser> fragalot: if you know how to change the GPIO-Pins, this is possible. you just need to create a hal-component for it
[20:45:53] <fragalot> hmm...
[20:46:11] <ssi_> JT-Shop: yeah, and I don't know where to begin :P

[23:20:18] <atom1> can i use the 7i47 as a pendant interface or do i need something else to go with it?
[23:20:24] <atom1> aside from the 7i43
[23:22:07] <atom1> i was planning to use the 7i47 along with the 7i43 as a stepper interface with limit switches etc
[23:23:24] <mikegg> if you have a spare encoder counter, I think you can..
[23:24:12] <atom1> i was looking at one of the mpg's and some buttons
[23:24:26] <atom1> http://homanndesigns.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15&products_id=30&zenid=87985edee7234d38aa76bd9392a1f909
[23:24:28] <atom1> or similar
[23:25:55] <atom1> i haven't got to the software side yet
[23:26:09] <tom3p> "7i47 12 channel motion oriented differential interface" for a pendant?
[23:26:32] <atom1> and stepper & limit input
[23:26:33] <tom3p> "The 7I47 is mainly intended for motion oriented applications, for example as an output buffer and line receiver for connecting step and direction drives and encoders to Anything I/O FPGA cards."
[23:26:47] <atom1> iirc, pcw suggested it
[23:26:50] <atom1> but i wanted to be sure
[23:27:17] <tom3p> check the cpnversation PCW knows best, but it may have been another number
[23:27:22] <atom1> there should also be plenty of pins left on the 7i43
[23:28:14] <atom1> the 7i47 would serve as a buffer for the stepper drives too
[23:34:44] <tom3p> grab the manual and see what you think
http://www.mesanet.com/pdf/motion/7i47man.pdf
[23:35:06] <atom1> i think i have it already
[23:51:56] <tom3p> ask PCW, i just think that board is 12 serial channels, good for serial data and serial devices, not so good for buttons w/o additional encoding/interfacing
