[00:15:10] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: Ah, PPPoE ?
[00:15:31] <SWPadnos_> err, could be. it's cable though, so at some point it's not "oE"
[00:16:07] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: Well if they are using authentication, you might chekc the MTU, that cna lead to drops

[00:23:41] -!- crazy_imp has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[00:24:18] <jcizek> Getting a 'Unable to open file <touchoff>' when I run my gcode. I generated it with your scpost file, have modified the touchoff.ngc to suit my specs. Am i missing a path or something?
[00:24:58] <JT-Shop> in 2.4 make sure it is in nc_files
[00:25:17] <jcizek> kinda figured there was a magic place for it to live :-)

[00:26:15] * JT-Shop is a tired puppy and melts into the house for dinner
[00:26:23] <jcizek> jt-shop: nice... it loaded this time... After a week of getting this config working, it's time to try a run!
[00:26:30] <jcizek> Thaks for all yrou help!
[00:28:05] <jcizek> hmm, well that was short lived :)
[00:34:52] <jcizek> JT-Shop: know your at dinner, but if you see this later, I seem to have run into an issue with your SC post file.. each time the torch moves, it raises the entire Z plane by the Z float distance... hence, at 7 cuts, my design is now 7" high and exceeding Z travel limits! Am I doing something wrong?
[00:37:18] <jcizek> maybe not the SC post, maybe the touchoff.ngc the more i look at it..

[01:57:32] <Roguish> hey all. is PYVCP being deprecated in favor of GLADEVCP?
[01:58:49] <cradek> not in 2.5.x
[01:58:57] <cradek> I can't predict any further in the future
[02:01:23] <Roguish> cradek: thanks for the reply. i just don't see too much new in the docs. definitely seems like glade is being pushed.
[02:01:59] <Roguish> and heck, i'm not a programmer and it looks like the gladevcp takes significantly more programming than pyvcp.
[02:02:17] <Roguish> i'm going to try though.

[15:37:04] <The_Ball> any ideas on where to get a cheap 240V 12A DC motor dumb drive/amp?
[15:37:20] <The_Ball> for a big treadmill motor

[15:44:34] <skunkworks> little more spendy but 400v 30a peak
[15:44:40] <The_Ball> skunkworks, that's a brushless, this is a DC not BLDC :)
[15:45:42] <skunkworks> the b and be ones can be configured to run brushed servos
[15:45:56] <The_Ball> oh..
[15:46:02] <skunkworks> (take a look at the manuals on emc's site
[15:46:10] <skunkworks> *amc... heh

[15:53:02] <The_Ball> sweet, might build a custom h-bridge with pwm from the mesa card though, this is just for speed control for the lath
[15:53:07] <The_Ball> s/lath/lathe
[15:53:58] <The_Ball> $300+ is a bit steep for speed control on the lathe ;)
[15:54:15] <anonimasu> that's pretty normal
[15:54:24] <anonimasu> I got quoted 680 euros for one
[15:56:06] <The_Ball> auch
[15:56:17] <anonimasu> but that was for a vector one with positioning
[16:00:08] <Aero-Tec> what is the best IRC client to use?
[16:00:26] <Aero-Tec> I am using chatzilla now
[16:00:42] <Aero-Tec> but thought there may be a better on to use

[16:09:30] <willburrrr2003> Well, went to the download page of linuxcnc.org, clicked on the download link in the box that said emc release 2.4.6....downloaded the cd, and installed it. But when I an emc, the verson said 2.4.3.... is the link not pointing to the riht file?
[16:09:41] <cradek> willburrrr2003: run the updates
[16:10:16] <willburrrr2003> Ok, I will et it up with a net connection tonight and give that a try
[16:12:05] <willburrrr2003> 2.4.6 fixes a bug with the reloading of the tool table.... I'm thinking that is part of the problem I was experiencing with my tool offsets the other night
[16:14:24] <willburrrr2003> when I touched them off they were set about 0.6ish, when I reloaded the tool table they were 6.5ish and causing a major tool jump on screen

[17:42:13] <IchGuckLive> i mill 0.3mm depth
[17:42:51] <Anthro> ok, how much overlap between passes?
[17:43:23] <IchGuckLive> the routing is on 30mil of eagle times 0.0254 mm
[17:43:49] <mrsunshine> is grade 1 good enough as a plane surface ? ... (master surface)
[17:43:49] <IchGuckLive> 0,762mm
[17:43:56] <mrsunshine> 12um accuracy
[17:44:50] <IchGuckLive> the path is 50mil big and 40 mil lowest
[17:45:43] <Anthro> ok and what was the 30mil then ?

[17:48:39] <IchGuckLive> syyl: dont forget a cooling tuneel
[17:49:00] <anonimasu> does autoruouted stuff produce ok boards?
[17:49:01] <syyl> yeah
[17:49:02] <IchGuckLive> Connor:
[17:49:41] <Anthro> depends on your application
[17:49:44] <anonimasu> mrsunshine: well, depends on what you want to do
[17:49:47] <anonimasu> :)
[17:49:55] <mrsunshine> fix my ways on the chinese mill :P
[17:50:03] <mrsunshine> aka learn scraping =)
[17:50:17] <Anthro> but looking at the simplicity of the PCB and the thickness of the traces i think this is a low speed design
[17:50:20] <anonimasu> mrsunshine: your dining plates will work for making it better

[17:51:06] <anonimasu> scraping is easy
[17:51:12] <IchGuckLive> the overall is to give all EMC users with all kiind of Chees routers the posibilyti to make his own Pendant
[17:51:13] <anonimasu> tho, the hard part is sharpening the scrapers
[17:51:25] <syyl> thats not to hard

[17:51:35] <anonimasu> that's my big problem
[17:51:38] <syyl> when you want to learn scraping
[17:51:43] <anonimasu> tho, I think I'll go for a carbide one instead soon
[17:51:47] <syyl> watch the videos of muellernick on youtube :)
[17:51:51] <anonimasu> amazing work
[17:52:05] <syyl> his workshop is only 100km away from here :)
[17:52:12] <syyl> i visit him every few weeks
[17:52:14] <Anthro> how is your tool life on 0.3mm deep cuts IchGuckLive
[17:52:37] <IchGuckLive> about this abound of milling
[17:52:48] <Anthro> I dont like hitting that FR-4 material too much
[17:53:04] <The_Ball> IchGuckLive, looks great, do you have any pictures of the prototype?
[17:53:12] <IchGuckLive> no cost's for resharping here so no factor
[17:53:35] <Anthro> thats nice :)
[17:53:37] <IchGuckLive> The_Ball: im going to do al over
[17:53:48] <Anthro> you drill first then mill ? or first mill the drill ?
[17:54:19] <The_Ball> I mill, spot drill with the same bit at the end 0.3mm before changing to drills
[17:54:59] <Anthro> ok so you only drill in the fiberglass and not in the copper
[17:55:26] <Anthro> right ?
[17:55:29] <The_Ball> no more as a stable start point so the drill will not wander off center
[17:55:39] <The_Ball> gives you a perfectly centered hole
[17:56:03] <Anthro> i sometimes have problems with the copper delaminating or leaving burrs

[17:58:46] <IchGuckLive> so all parts comming from one supplyer kosts under 80Euros
[17:59:09] <IchGuckLive> and everyone can do this on its own we will present everything
[17:59:19] <Anthro> nice
[17:59:21] <IchGuckLive> including all and Howto
[17:59:34] <Anthro> what interface towards EMC ?

[18:00:03] <IchGuckLive> USB
[18:00:12] <Anthro> nice
[18:01:27] <Anthro> you have a link to the schematics of the device?
[18:02:14] <IchGuckLive> if you sent me in the querry your emal i will male it to you but we are still in the DEV state
[18:03:00] <willburrrr2003> nice looking pendand/jog controller :D
[18:03:45] <Anthro> im an electronics engineer so if you want me to look at some things just ask

[18:11:27] <IchGuckLive> the main problem is to keep the main loop as short as posible within 10ms
[18:11:39] <IchGuckLive> both way communication
[18:11:59] <IchGuckLive> to get a workiing jog weehl rate
[18:12:37] <IchGuckLive> Anthro: files arived ?
[18:12:48] <Anthro> yes they just came in, what version of eagle are you using ?
[18:13:03] <IchGuckLive> its the new freeware
[18:13:35] <Anthro> ok ill have to dl that. i have a licensed 4.16r but that doesnt open 5.x verison files
[18:13:43] <IchGuckLive> i shoudt better have done this in 4.16
[18:14:15] <IchGuckLive> this is the most popullar to all out ther
[18:14:51] <Anthro> if it fits the freeware limitation of 100x80mm then i think everyone should be ok
[18:15:03] <IchGuckLive> it does
[18:15:13] <Anthro> you can have multiple versions installed at the same time
[18:15:21] <IchGuckLive> thats the guess of all keep everything free and available
[18:15:42] <IchGuckLive> Bopla Hand hald are also available in the usa

[19:54:16] <DaViruz> an adjustable one takes care of a lot of situations. for more serious work better tools are more suited
[19:54:22] <andypugh> I used to carry a little one all the time. Then I got one integral to a multi-tool. Then they messed up the law such that having a knife meant straight-to-gaol so I stopped.
[19:54:40] <Jymmm> DaViruz: Um, http://ToolFetish.orgy/
[19:55:06] <DaViruz> sweden has an excemption in the "Knife law" for pocket knives and multi-tools
[19:55:08] <DaViruz> that's nice
[19:55:23] <Jymmm> knife law?
[19:55:46] <mrsunshine> yes, as in you cant carry a knife around if its not in your trade
[19:55:46] <DaViruz> we have a law tect that deals specificalt with "knives and other dangerous objects"
[19:55:55] <DaViruz> text*
[19:56:00] <DaViruz> specifically
[19:56:01] <DaViruz> what the hell!
[19:56:10] <Jymmm> eeeesh
[19:56:14] <DaViruz> eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh
[19:56:23] <Jymmm> That's just BS
[19:56:43] <andypugh> Yeah, we had, then they brought in a new law about "bladed weapons" so you are OK with a multi-tool unless the cops reckon you are carrying it as a weapon, at which point even nail scissors can mean gaol time. (that is the main problem, there is a mandatory custodial sentence, Magistrate friends of mine are incensed that they can't actually let people off)
[19:56:52] <syyl_> even here in germany we can carry a knife :)
[19:57:05] <DaViruz> andypugh: yeah sounds like our law. intent makes all the difference
[19:57:26] <andypugh> Yeah, and the "Intent" is an argument between you and the cop...
[19:57:32] <DaViruz> if you use your car keys as a weapon they will probably be treated as a knife in the court
[19:57:44] <DaViruz> andypugh: sadly yes
[19:58:08] <DaViruz> walking around with a holstered handgun is ok though ;)
[19:58:20] <Jymmm> DaViruz: seriously?
[19:58:24] <DaViruz> as long as you are on your way to a gun range
[19:58:40] <DaViruz> (also it can't be loaded)
[19:58:48] <Jymmm> oh
[19:58:54] <andypugh> Depending on who/what you are your word might have more weight than the cops. But generally, its unlikely.
[19:59:14] <DaViruz> but if you hit someone with it it's a knife ;)
[19:59:42] <Connor> Not a club?
[19:59:56] <Jymmm> I'll stick with my 4cell mag light =)
[20:00:11] <DaViruz> "knife or other dangerous object" to be exact
[20:00:28] <Jymmm> well, a pencil could be that
[20:00:34] <DaViruz> indeed
[20:00:40] <Jymmm> or a sheet of paper
[20:00:45] <DaViruz> and if you stab someone with it it will be treated as such
[20:00:47] <Jymmm> those paper cuts are nasty!
[20:01:01] <DaViruz> (or the cops thinks you carry it with the intent of stabbing someone)
[20:01:21] <Connor> Yea, Some strange laws here too... Like, your not allowed to saw off a riffle, but you can build a handgun out of a new frame (using a riffle frame etc)
[20:01:45] <DaViruz> all in all, i think our knife and weapon laws are pretty ok
[20:03:12] <DaViruz> Connor: where are your from?
[20:03:24] <Connor> US
[20:03:29] <DaViruz> oh.
[20:03:57] <Connor> If the gun has been registered as a riffle.. you can't saw it off.. but if your building a new one.. and it's never been registered.. then it's okay...
[20:04:00] <Connor> go figgure.
[20:04:39] <DaViruz> you can usually always do as you please as long as you don't tell anyone
[20:04:41] <DaViruz> :)
[20:13:20] <psha> DaViruz: "don't tell anyone" is pretty universal law
[20:13:35] <psha> i guess we here in Russia has same one
[20:13:58] <psha> difference is in what happens when you tell... :)
[20:14:22] <andypugh> I think in the UK it is OK to shorten a rifle, but not a smoothbore (like a shotgun).
[20:15:01] <DaViruz> we have a minimum length here, 450mm for rifles and 480mm for shotguns if i remember correctly
[20:15:02] <andypugh> It's one of those stupid laws brought in to address something that was already illegal, ie "It is illegal to rob a bank, regardless of the length of the shotgun"
[20:15:56] <andypugh> There was a spoof campaign in the UK to bring in a new law "Making it illegal to murder children and bury them in shallow graves in woodland"
[20:15:57] <DaViruz> but if you apply for a permint for a shotgun for competition in "cowboy action shooting" you can shorten it to your hearts content
[20:17:18] <DaViruz> i don't get that idiom coming to think about it

[21:13:42] <Anthro> can you suck up aluminium chips with a household vacuum cleaner or will I destroy it
[21:14:51] <andypugh> Depends on the vacuum cleaner. No problem at all with a Dyson as the dirt does not pass through the motor.
[21:15:07] <Anthro> its a bag type
[21:15:39] <Anthro> so if its fine enough it will go through the bag and through the engine
[21:16:00] <andypugh> I though that Wikpedia was meant to explain things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SL2(R). A sample: "SL(2,R) is the group of all http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_transformation of R2 that preserve http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientation_(mathematics) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_(geometry). It is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_isomorphism to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symplectic_group Sp(2,R) and the genera
[21:16:00] <andypugh> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_unitary_group SU(1,1). It is also isomorphic to the group of unit-length http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-quaternion. The group SL±(2,R) preserves unoriented area: it may reverse orientation."
[21:16:00] <Anthro> but its non ferrous so i would expect it to fly out without harm
[21:16:30] <andypugh> Does the cleaner blow through the bag, or suck through the bag?
[21:16:48] <Anthro> it sucks through

[21:44:23] <andypugh> The same as I can with the UPA3. They all go down to zero, and the UPA4 won't fit any of my machines.

[22:06:06] <andypugh> Interesting idea, but why put all the clever stuff on the less-capable CPU when you need a PC anyway?
[22:06:40] <andypugh> Though I guess it could turn out a fair bit cheaper than PC + interface + stepper drives

[22:07:43] <andypugh> It does look quite nice.
[22:08:04] <andypugh> (I am trying to avoid being EMC2 partisan here)
[22:08:14] <jdhNC> why?

[22:11:31] <syyl_> ok, THATS clever
[22:11:37] <syyl_> and pretty simple
[22:12:27] <andypugh> Yeah, not even a left-hand thread, just different. It actually means you get more force per torque
[22:13:05] <Jymmm> Actually here's a nice write up https://www.synthetos.com/blog/what-is-tinyg-and-why/
[22:13:06] <syyl_> my draw bar on the manual mill has also such a differential thread
[22:13:11] <syyl_> to push the tool out
[22:13:47] <andypugh> (You actually screw the fine thread all the way in, then screw down the shank until the pegs nearly touch, then back out the screw to clamp it all into place.
[22:19:58] <Jymmm> andypugh: I just thought it was interesting
[22:20:37] <andypugh> There is a 3-axis Arduino shield. That is also rather intersting.
[22:22:12] <Jymmm> takes gcode directly?
[22:22:22] <andypugh> Not sure.
[22:22:31] <Jymmm> ok
[22:23:02] <Jymmm> BTW, whatever is going around right now... DONT GET IT.... you will feel like utter shit
[22:23:17] <andypugh> My impression is that there is software so that it does, but that you could always code your own. I can imagine tyou could make a rather nice self-contained toolchanger with it, for exampls.
[22:23:42] <Jymmm> Wear a hazmat suit if ya have to!!!
[22:23:58] <andypugh> Only the weak get infections
[22:24:21] <Jymmm> infections yes, not viruses
[22:24:32] <andypugh> viruses are infections.
[22:25:00] <andypugh> (As far as I know, unless there is a subtle semantic difference)
[22:25:33] <andypugh> But my plan for the next week is to be out of sight of land on a boat, that should do the trick.
[22:25:42] <DaViruz> there is not. viral infection or bacterial infection (and a few more), none being any less of an infection
[22:27:05] <Jymmm> dont know dont care jsut dont catch it!
[22:27:10] <andypugh> I guess you can add fungal infection and animal (parasite) infection. Oddly, as far as I know, you never get infected by plants. No nasty cases of Wisteria, or acute Oak.

[22:39:48] <KimK> Was it George Bernard Shaw that proposed his method of spelling English words as they sound? His famous example was "ghoti". The gh as in enough, (how did the O get in there again?) and the ti as in invention. So ghoti is "obviously" pronounced "fish"!
[22:40:59] <andypugh> I have heard it before, but I am equally unsure of the source
[22:42:10] <skunkworks> andypugh: if I am not using any kind of shielded cable to the resolver cause problems? cable is about 2ft long for testing. (shielded pairs - not even twisted)

[23:37:22] <jcizek> Hi all, wondering if I can get some insight on some code. http://pastebin.ca/2074343 This subroutine is called where a normal M03 would be. But it's stair stepping. Any help appreciated
[23:39:29] <Anthro> line 9, you gave #1 in absolute coords?

[23:41:00] -!- Aero-Tec [Aero-Tec!~chatzilla@d142-179-74-204.bchsia.telus.net] has joined #emc
[23:41:20] <jcizek> it's passed in as a decimal distance (I'm still learning this stuff, it's generated by the CAM post)
[23:41:23] <jcizek> did that makes sense?
[23:41:38] <jcizek> for example, #1 is 0.18 for example
[23:42:17] <KimK> Are lines 1-4 in G90 mode?
[23:43:31] <Anthro> yes you better set G90/91 at the start of a subroutine that to prevent weirdness, unless you exactly know what you're doing :)
[23:43:40] <jcizek> can't remember of hand... heading out to shop to check now..
[23:44:32] <andypugh> I think the G92 belongs straight after the probe.
[23:45:28] <jcizek> I;ve spent the last 3 months trying to master HAL, guess its time to start learnig Gcode now :)
[23:45:48] <jcizek> and maybe how to spell words properly and use good grammar
[23:46:29] <Anthro> yes thats it andypugh, because the G1 move at line 6 will go to an absolute position based on previous Z0 level so your touch off height is 'gone'
[23:46:47] <Anthro> no crap im wrong :D
[23:47:08] <jcizek> I have a G90 at the top of my code, but there is a G92 a few lines before the subroutine is called
[23:47:11] <Anthro> its G91 so relative move
[23:47:21] <KimK> Yes, I think the G90/G91 business is fooling you. Can you use a fixture and G10 L2/L20?
[23:48:42] <KimK> Once you probe, say this is Z x.xxx an be done with it.
[23:48:52] <KimK> s/an/and/
[23:49:23] <jcizek> So how would you handle pierce height in that case?
[23:49:35] <KimK> Then move to desired Z position without using G91
[23:49:48] <andypugh> So, you probe, then move up 1.1in, then call that Z0. That seems, illogical.
[23:50:05] <JT-Shop> jcizek: what do you mean by stair stepping?
[23:50:41] <KimK> I don't know exactly how your probe is set up, but 1) you find metal 2) you know where you are. Done.
[23:50:44] <JT-Shop> andypugh: that makes up for the backlash on the mechanics of the floating plasma torch switch
[23:51:03] <jcizek> well, when I look at the preview window, i can see that the first cut is where it belongs, but the second cut is 1.1" higher Z, the third 2.2" higher etc...
[23:51:15] <JT-Shop> KimK: the torch head has to move up (floats ) and trip the switch it is not a probe
[23:51:17] <jcizek> so over 7 cuts, the Z is almost 8"
[23:51:55] <jcizek> JT-shop: did that make any sense?
[23:52:12] <JT-Shop> after touching off do you run a program and cancel out the offsets with G92.1?
[23:52:23] <andypugh> Step through the code by hand, with pencil and paper. I think you will find the problem.
[23:52:40] <KimK> It's a probe? it's not a probe? Got a line drawing?
[23:52:40] <jcizek> JT: I generated this using your sheetcam post
[23:52:50] <JT-Shop> I think he is not canceling the offsets
[23:52:53] <Anthro> and is parameter #1 correct (ie does it need to be positive or negative)
[23:53:01] <JT-Shop> hmm should have a G92.1 at the end
[23:54:03] <JT-Shop> KimK: the plasma torch head floats and you use a probe move to "find" the top of the material but there is some hysterics in the mechanics
[23:54:30] <JT-Shop> so the torch tip touches and you keep going down till the switch trips then you have to Z up the difference to be at Z0
[23:54:41] <KimK> jcizek: Usually when I have to use G91 for some reason, I'm always careful to return to my starting point before going back to G90. Or make calculations that give the same result.

[23:54:49] <jcizek> JT-Shop: G92.1 at the end of what?
[23:55:23] <JT-Shop> what G91?
[23:55:38] <JT-Shop> your cut program
[23:56:37] <jcizek> JT-Shop: I think he is referring to the G91 in the touchoff.ngc
[23:56:42] <JT-Shop> this is my X-trim http://pastebin.ca/2074357
[23:56:58] <KimK> JT-Shop: OK, slop in mechanism is OK, when your switch trips you know you're at Z "-0.5", let's say. Does that work?
[23:57:07] <JT-Shop> ok
[23:57:25] <JT-Shop> sure but it works for me now
[23:58:29] <JT-Shop> the G91 is just to move the up by the amount of slop and G90 is right after the move
[23:59:50] <jcizek> Yep, you're right there
[23:59:56] <JT-Shop> KimK: yes you could just as easy say G92 Z-1.1 then G0 Z0
