[00:00:07] <JT-Shop> ok
[00:00:25] <robin_> yeah, brembos too, on cast iron discs, real stopping power
[00:02:18] -!- theorbtwo has quit [Read error: Operation timed out]
[00:02:24] <robin_> I don't understand modern bikes ... why do you need 6 pot, twin disks when bikes where able to brake hard enough to lift the back wheel off the floor 30 years ago ... I mean, just how much braking power do you need?
[00:02:38] <robin_> my GSXR600 is WAY overbraked
[00:03:34] -!- theorbtwo [theorbtwo!~theorb@91.84.53.6] has joined #emc
[00:05:04] <robin_> im thinking of selling the GSXR and getting another old ducati

[00:06:44] <JT-Shop> I kinda favor the old Honda style like the CB450

[00:11:09] <robin_> ah yeah
[00:11:14] <robin_> the "black bomber"
[00:11:22] <robin_> out of my price range
[00:13:12] <robin_> hmm, actually, not as bad as I expected .. i though they would be more expensive
[00:14:13] <andypugh> Because it is good to be able to stand the bike on the front wheel with only two fingers?
[00:14:37] <andypugh> JT-Shop: I think I bottomed the problem the guy has.
[00:15:05] <andypugh> I blame cmorley
[00:15:31] <robin_> not something I ever needed to do, the RGV i had was over braked too, number of crashes I had from a little over-enthusiastic braking .. I wondered if a bit more lever pressure might have helped
[00:16:09] <robin_> JT-Shop, looks like you can pick up a decent CB450 for around $8000
[00:16:20] <andypugh> But, also, it seems to me to be a bug that you can use the "names=" parameter to create a function with no name. The minimum name length ought to be one character, I feel.
[00:23:26] <danimal_garage> cb450 for 8k? ha!

[00:26:28] <danimal_garage> luckly the guy was willing to pay
[00:28:16] <danimal_garage> and he's got a welding shop so he's gunna help weld up my motorcycle frame in exchange for part of the bill
[00:28:56] <robin_> yeah, I was surprised you could pick up a CB450 that cheap
[00:30:14] <l0st1nsp4c3> any good pages or calculator for feed speed and etc etc for wood and aluminum
[00:31:57] <Tom_itx> http://www.cncexpo.com/SpeedsFeeds.aspx
[00:32:18] <danimal_garage> cheap?

[01:01:57] <nicko> Ello all
[01:02:15] <nicko> I finally have one servo wired up to the Mesa 5i22
[01:02:44] <nicko> I am using pncconf to set up my 'machine'
[01:03:14] <nicko> but where can I play with PID params to tune the servo ? pncconf only has an 'open loop' test
[01:03:24] <nicko> where in EMC can I tune ?
[01:03:30] -!- acemi has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[01:06:39] <danimal_garage> when you start emc, click the machine tab, and then the callibration tab
[01:07:07] <danimal_garage> from there you can test and save the settings for your pid loop
[01:07:19] <andypugh> l0st1nsp4c3: The wrong ones. Sorry, but the spindle speed was way too low, and the feeds were way off.
[01:07:36] <nicko> cheers
[01:08:07] <nicko> I dont know why I dont see this stuff - I'm a mac user, we dont read manual nor *look*
[01:08:12] <nicko> *rolleyes*
[01:08:48] <danimal_garage> it's all good, i never see that stuff either
[01:14:49] -!- nicko has quit [Quit: Visitor from www.linuxcnc.org]
[01:15:08] -!- nicko [nicko!~nicko@222-155-136-159.jetstream.xtra.co.nz] has joined #emc
[01:23:34] <nicko> where is the section in the manuals that explains the servo calibration screens in EMC ?
[01:23:53] <nicko> I have 4 tabs - tune0 through to tune3
[01:24:02] <nicko> I assume (?) 0 is X ??
[01:24:14] <nicko> (for a XYZA setup)
[01:24:20] <andypugh> That depends on how you configured the machine. But normally, yes. ]
[01:24:37] <nicko> I thought I set up the spindle to be servo also
[01:24:46] <nicko> in which case I could expect 5 tabs ...
[01:25:46] <andypugh> I think that the "Caibrate" screens pick up clues from the INI file.
[01:26:11] <andypugh> And I can't remember what it looks for to decide.
[01:29:22] <nicko> I'm having a nightmare at the moment
[01:29:30] <nicko> too many variables to cut through ...
[01:29:52] <andypugh> Start with everything zero, and just adjust P.
[01:30:03] -!- kljsdfhklj has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
[01:30:17] <nicko> The servos are going 'loose' when I plug in the Mesa card inputs to drive encoder *outputs*
[01:31:11] <andypugh> The encoders drive the card, surely?
[01:31:19] <nicko> when I unplug them the servos are stiff (in position mode) and are 'loose but under power' in velocity mode
[01:31:41] <nicko> as soon as I plug the drive encoder outputs into the mesa card they go floppy
[01:31:49] <nicko> yes! now you understand my frustration
[01:32:21] <andypugh> What sort of servo?
[01:32:33] <andypugh> And drive?
[01:32:53] <nicko> Again, too many variables and at this stage apparently intermittent behaviour for me as a beginner to sort it out
[01:33:11] <nicko> Servo BLDC running on Granite Devices VSD-XE
[01:33:12] <andypugh> It might be that the interface card isn't getting enough power to run the logic and power the encoders.
[01:33:55] <nicko> assumed the encoders are powered via the drive ... they can close their own loop (step/dir)
[01:34:02] <andypugh> If that is the problem, you should be able to plug in the encoders, as long as you don't connect the encoder +5V lead.
[01:34:34] <nicko> http://www.granitedevices.fi/index.php?q=servo-drive-vsd-e
[01:34:40] <danimal_garage> i had an issue where i had to run a seperate enable wire to each drive because a single enable pin on the mesa card wasn't enough to turn them all on
[01:34:43] <andypugh> Ah. I can see that plugging the encoder into both at the same time might be trouble.
[01:35:20] <nicko> the drive enables have been set to on all the time - for the time being
[01:35:40] <nicko> both at the same time ?
[01:36:38] <nicko> I am taking the encoder signal from the 'EXT' connector - so yes the encoders are going to the drive then being passed through (hard directly I think, but it could be soft)
[01:37:04] <nicko> I am correct in assuming that I run the drive in velocity mode ?
[01:37:31] <nicko> and you're saying that the encoders should go to EMC *only* ?
[01:39:24] <andypugh> Just reading the manuals. Yes, it ought to be OK to plug the encoders into the EXT connector.
[01:40:53] <andypugh> And yes, velocity mode ought to work well.
[01:40:53] <andypugh> (but the drives need the encoders to do that)
[01:41:06] <andypugh> The EXT connector is a ribbon cable header. Which of the wires are you connecting to the Mesa board?
[01:42:24] <nicko> Oh hang on!!
[01:42:27] <nicko> ok damn
[01:42:34] <nicko> I see at least one error I have made
[01:44:47] <andypugh> Well, good luck with it, I really need to sleep (it's very late saturday for me, conceptually if not chronometrically)
[01:46:51] <nicko> you inadvertently made me look at something that I see is wrong (a differential signalling thing)
[01:47:13] <nicko> about 5mins from now I might *LETS HOPE* be making some sense
[01:47:24] <nicko> g'night!
[01:47:58] -!- ries has quit [Quit: ries]
[01:48:02] <andypugh> Check that you are not pulling anything down to mesa gnd that shouldn't be.
[01:48:22] -!- andypugh has quit [Quit: andypugh]
[01:58:31] <danimal_garage> i wish i had something other than hard chromoly to make these exhaust sleeves. Hard as hell to cut.
[01:59:03] <nicko> I was... I was pulling the negative differential encoder signal to Mesa GND
[01:59:45] <nicko> Now the drives are staying energized - and encoders are passinginfo to EMC without causing weird motor carry on
[02:00:00] <nicko> but they still aren't repsonding to PWM from EMC
[02:00:05] <nicko> small steps I guess
[02:02:06] <danimal_garage> are the motors holding?
[02:05:26] <nicko> holding? as in staying put but offer resistance to attempts at moving them with my hand ?
[02:05:28] <nicko> YES
[02:05:35] <danimal_garage> thats good
[02:05:48] <nicko> yup, solved that issue
[02:06:04] <nicko> but nada to PWM input, not even a squeak
[02:06:05] <danimal_garage> so it isn't moving if you try jogging?
[02:06:31] <nicko> I'll try it in EMC rather than pncconf - ang on !
[02:06:33] <danimal_garage> the servo drives use a pwm input, not +-10v analog?
[02:07:46] <nicko> PWM at the moment (I can choose, but PWM will be the final set up)
[02:08:06] <nicko> Ok, no movement from a jog - I get 'joint2 following error'
[02:08:21] <nicko> its currently set up to be the Z axis on a XYZA set up
[02:09:08] <danimal_garage> hmm i don't know much about pwm
[02:09:25] <danimal_garage> what are you using as an output for the pwm?
[02:09:27] <danimal_garage> 5i20?
[02:09:39] <nicko> well, I figure its just a control signal like any other
[02:09:42] <nicko> 5i22
[02:09:53] <nicko> like any other in that you plug it in
[02:10:00] <nicko> and it should/might 'go'
[02:10:42] <danimal_garage> you set up the hal to output a pwm signal?
[02:10:58] <danimal_garage> it's likely a hal issue i would guess
[02:13:28] <nicko> I'm doing it via pncconf - a UI for HAL set up of Mesa cards
[02:13:42] <nicko> so 'yes' I guess ;)
[02:15:23] <danimal_garage> never used that

[02:22:19] <nicko> EMC aint outputting PWM - none that I can find
[02:22:22] <nicko> hmmmmmm
[02:22:30] <nicko> this is frustrating
[02:26:16] <danimal_garage> i bet
[02:26:35] <danimal_garage> are you sure you're using the right outputs on the 5i22?
[02:26:47] <danimal_garage> stupid question, but i've done it before
[02:29:07] <nicko> I'm just scoping them now
[02:29:10] <nicko> yes I was
[02:29:25] <nicko> I'm getting PWM on the same pin but this time I;m in pncconf
[02:29:35] <nicko> it will output PWM - about to plug it in to the drive
[02:29:49] <nicko> but what concerns me is that I get no DIR signal change
[02:30:21] <nicko> it just sits on 0v if I invert the motor direction setting or toggle between + and -
[02:30:56] <nicko> it shouldnt matter in getting some motion on the drive - but it will eventually matter
[02:33:57] -!- Techrat has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
[02:35:48] <danimal_garage> yea you'll need it
[02:35:57] <danimal_garage> is there a direction pin?
[02:37:20] <danimal_garage> well that wouldnt matter i guess...
[02:37:25] <danimal_garage> you'd still need the pwm
[02:37:48] <danimal_garage> i forgot how to get it to go in the negatives, you'll have to ask one of the pros
[02:44:17] -!- Eartaker has quit [Quit: Not again...]
[02:49:53] <theos> hi! does emc support pcmcia-to-parallel port adapter on a linux laptop?
[02:50:19] -!- Tom_L has quit []
[02:50:32] <l0st1nsp4c3> theos yes
[02:50:47] <l0st1nsp4c3> as long as your pcmcia to parallel assigns a IRQ then should work
[02:50:57] <theos> ah thanks :)
[02:51:04] <l0st1nsp4c3> but
[02:51:14] <l0st1nsp4c3> laptops are notorious to have issues with RTOS
[02:51:26] <theos> my laptop passes the latency test
[02:51:39] <l0st1nsp4c3> so did mine
[02:51:42] <theos> :(
[02:52:03] <theos> so what can be the problem?
[02:52:33] <l0st1nsp4c3> exactly that lol
[02:53:18] <l0st1nsp4c3> http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Hardware_Requirements
[02:53:22] <l0st1nsp4c3> go check out laptop section

[02:53:59] <l0st1nsp4c3> doesn't mean you'll have issues
[02:54:04] <l0st1nsp4c3> just means you should run many tests =)
[03:03:57] -!- geo01005 has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
[03:20:05] <theos> ah ok thanks :)
[03:21:11] <theos> l0st1nsp4c3, i have a dual core 3Ghz laptop, if that changes anything :)
[03:24:23] <l0st1nsp4c3> should be good
[03:24:30] <l0st1nsp4c3> but like i said only testing will let u know
[03:24:32] <Jymmm> Hey SWPadnos
[03:24:40] <SWPadnos> hi
[03:24:46] <theos> how to test?
[03:25:01] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: See you have lost you pasport (at least temporarily)
[03:25:05] <l0st1nsp4c3> i ran a 12hour latency test on laptop
[03:25:09] <SWPadnos> laptops are usually no good, due to power management features
[03:25:13] <l0st1nsp4c3> was very suprised when I came back
[03:25:17] <SWPadnos> Jymmm, ?
[03:25:26] <l0st1nsp4c3> when the cpu heatsink fan kicked it it was software controlled
[03:25:28] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: you've been homw for more than 24h
[03:25:43] <l0st1nsp4c3> huge latency because of interrupts going on to toggle pwm to kick up a notch
[03:25:47] <SWPadnos> yeah. I was here (in the state anyway) for almost 2 months
[03:26:03] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: wow, I'm surprised =)
[03:26:31] <SWPadnos> well, that was until the end of last month - I was in New Orleans from June 29th to July 3rd :)
[03:26:39] <Jymmm> lol
[03:28:01] <l0st1nsp4c3> emc2 defaults to tool 0?
[03:28:18] <theos> hmm
[03:28:39] <SWPadnos> 0 means no tool, which seems a reasonable default
[03:29:11] <l0st1nsp4c3> agreed just wanted to be sure
[03:29:34] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: Have you come across a RELIABLE usb2serial adapter?
[03:29:42] <SWPadnos> reliable for what?
[03:29:48] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: UPS
[03:30:02] <SWPadnos> I have used the ones from Radio Shack for generic serial applications, and they're fine
[03:30:14] <Jymmm> really?
[03:30:33] <SWPadnos> only under Linux though. I know there are issues with some of them under Win7 or XP64 or something
[03:30:34] <SWPadnos> yep
[03:30:50] <l0st1nsp4c3> i like ftdi ft232rl
[03:30:53] <Jymmm> lol, well will be used under FreeeBSD
[03:31:14] <l0st1nsp4c3> linux compatible and come in very small form factors usualy in the usb connector
[03:31:17] <SWPadnos> I don't recall who makes the RS one I have
[03:31:26] <theos> :)
[03:31:37] <l0st1nsp4c3> http://www.adafruit.com/products/70
[03:31:51] <l0st1nsp4c3> if you need above ttl (more then 5volt) then that is not the product for u
[03:33:05] <theos> if it says "No IRQ, DMA, I/O Address resources required. " then it wont work?
[03:33:10] <SWPadnos> it doesn't exactly have a DB9 on it either ...
[03:33:35] <l0st1nsp4c3> theos for your parallel port?
[03:33:51] <l0st1nsp4c3> SWPadnos???
[03:33:51] <theos> yes pcmcia to parallel port adapter
[03:34:06] <l0st1nsp4c3> Theos you need I/O and irq assigned
[03:34:10] <SWPadnos> the adafruit adapter - it only has a pin header for the serial side
[03:34:11] <theos> :(
[03:34:16] <l0st1nsp4c3> if you don't...then you have a usb to parallel port
[03:34:30] <l0st1nsp4c3> SWPadnos yes and the other and is to your direction depending on what you are doing
[03:35:04] <l0st1nsp4c3> discretion sorry lol
[03:35:50] <SWPadnos> something like this is more useful when you have an actual serial device to attach to the other end: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3584699
[03:36:03] <SWPadnos> Jymmm, that is not the one I have, FYI
[03:36:11] <l0st1nsp4c3> theos the way the parallel port is assigned is 0x378
[03:36:35] <SWPadnos> theos, is that a PCMCIA card or an ExpressCard?
[03:36:43] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: bah "web only"
[03:36:52] <theos> http://www.ambery.com/expcpaprpoad.html
[03:37:02] <l0st1nsp4c3> i think he means expresscard
[03:37:10] <theos> it says both :P
[03:37:12] <SWPadnos> the one I have is black, about 6 feet long, and has a lump in the middle IIRC
[03:37:19] <l0st1nsp4c3> since he said it's a 3ghz dual core
[03:37:25] <theos> :D High Speed ExpressCard PCMCIA Parallel Printer Port Adapter For Laptop
[03:37:31] <SWPadnos> that's expresscard, I think
[03:37:34] <l0st1nsp4c3> it's express card
[03:37:36] <SWPadnos> doesn't look wide enough for PCMCIA
[03:37:36] <theos> ok
[03:38:03] <theos> i need help to buy the right card :)
[03:38:04] <SWPadnos> since ExpressCard can connect either via USB or PCI Express, it can be confusing to get the right thing
[03:38:09] <SWPadnos> which is not A USB one :)
[03:38:14] <l0st1nsp4c3> theos be carefull my old laptop was expresscard34
[03:38:20] <theos> oh
[03:38:25] <l0st1nsp4c3> normal expresscard are bigger then the slot i had
[03:38:54] <theos> the port isnt too small. the ir remote fits in it
[03:39:02] <l0st1nsp4c3> then you have full size
[03:39:14] <l0st1nsp4c3> expresscard/54
[03:39:47] <l0st1nsp4c3> is there any tool selection gui python script for emc2?
[03:39:49] <theos> i should be careful when buying the right card
[03:39:56] <l0st1nsp4c3> Theos indeed
[03:40:04] <l0st1nsp4c3> but you need to have an assigned IRQ etc etc
[03:40:21] <l0st1nsp4c3> otherwise you're buying a glorified USB to Parallel port for printers that was bundled in expresscard format
[03:40:28] <l0st1nsp4c3> and those are totaly useless for what you want todo
[03:40:55] <l0st1nsp4c3> just like JTAG'ing you need an assigned IRQ for 99.99% of all software out there
[03:41:29] <theos> hmm
[03:42:05] <l0st1nsp4c3> theos like SWPadnos was trying to explain
[03:42:23] <l0st1nsp4c3> expresscards can use the PCI express bus directly OR they can be USB
[03:42:24] <theos> i understand thanks :)
[03:43:48] <l0st1nsp4c3> =)

[03:44:55] <theos> i am checking my laptop specifications
[03:45:11] <SWPadnos> it's not the laptop that matters
[03:45:14] <SWPadnos> it's the card
[03:45:29] <SWPadnos> well, plus the fact that most laptops aren't useful for CNC control
[03:45:34] <theos> :(
[03:45:48] <theos> what is the main problem with laptop?
[03:45:56] <theos> speed?

[03:46:33] <SWPadnos> the power and thermal management systems, which are needed to extend battery life and/or prevent the thing from catching on fire, will cause extremely high latencies from time to time
[03:46:53] <SWPadnos> and there isn't much that can be done about it
[03:47:00] -!- danimal_garage [danimal_garage!~kvirc@ip68-111-132-33.sd.sd.cox.net] has joined #emc
[03:47:01] <theos> hmm
[03:47:20] <theos> what about laptops that come with a parallel port?
[03:47:20] <SWPadnos> you can try disabling SMI (check the EMC wiki for info on that), but then your computer literally could go up in smoke
[03:47:30] <SWPadnos> still crap, most of the time
[03:47:35] <theos> :(
[03:47:47] <Jymmm> Got Marshmellows?
[03:47:51] <theos> i need a desktop in any case
[03:47:54] <SWPadnos> I think there might have been some dell or IBM Thinkpad that was actually OK, but I don't remember the model number
[03:48:17] <nicko> Use a pin from EMC to set up cooling for your laptop ??
[03:48:29] <SWPadnos> a lot of mini ITX boards are great, and you can put together a complete system, including monitor, for $400-$500 or so
[03:48:30] <Jymmm> lol
[03:48:42] <SWPadnos> probably less these days
[03:48:47] <nicko> yup
[03:48:54] <nicko> less - I have done this recently...
[03:49:41] <l0st1nsp4c3> theos basicly if you want to use a laptop disable SMI and any PWM management for fan and thermal controls and buy one hell of a huge laptop cooler and pray to god
[03:49:56] <theos> :)
[03:49:58] <l0st1nsp4c3> theos not to mention you could have a cheap onboard video card that could cause latency issues
[03:50:00] <SWPadnos> yeah - it was a couple of years ago that I put together a bunch, but those had SSD and no monitor
[03:50:14] <l0st1nsp4c3> if it's taking ram instead of having it's own
[03:50:18] <theos> ati radeon :D
[03:50:48] <l0st1nsp4c3> SWPadnos you wouldn't happen to know if there is a gui addon for tool selection?
[03:50:55] <l0st1nsp4c3> theos sorry nvidia fan here =P
[03:51:00] <theos> :P
[03:51:04] <SWPadnos> no, what would you want it to do?
[03:51:26] <Jymmm> Gawd I love rsync =)
[03:51:32] <l0st1nsp4c3> just tool selection
[03:51:34] -!- Birdman3131 [Birdman3131!~quassel@ip70-178-238-227.ks.ks.cox.net] has joined #emc
[03:51:39] <SWPadnos> considering that you can easily type e.g. T10M6 in MDI, I'm not sure what a GUI would need
[03:52:00] <SWPadnos> well, that's not really a specific problem statement ;)
[03:52:37] <l0st1nsp4c3> never said I had a problem just wanted to know if there was one =)
[03:52:49] <SWPadnos> yeah, the MDI tab ;)
[03:52:54] <l0st1nsp4c3> Jymmm altho rsync is amazing.... it can also be a nightmare
[03:53:14] <Jymmm> NEVER!
[03:53:23] <l0st1nsp4c3> never let the new guy rsync all your machines thinking that's a good thing
[03:53:26] <SWPadnos> I was wondering what purpose such a GUI would serve
[03:53:50] <l0st1nsp4c3> SWPadnos wanted to know if one was out there with homing positions for an automatic tool changer
[03:54:03] <SWPadnos> ?
[03:54:14] <SWPadnos> an array of pockets kind of thing?
[03:55:06] <SWPadnos> this is why I wanted to know what you want - EMC can change tools and check tool length just fine, once you set it up to do so. At that point, you don't need a GUI to do it
[03:55:18] <l0st1nsp4c3> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuyRq23wQcU
[03:56:02] <SWPadnos> so, what would the GUI do?
[03:56:26] <SWPadnos> EMC can do that stuff, but there is no (need for a) GUI to make it look pretty
[03:56:34] <l0st1nsp4c3> i understand you don't need a gui was just wondering if one was out there showing you what tool is in use the usage hours the tools has accumulated etc etc
[03:56:52] <l0st1nsp4c3> total traveled distance etc etc
[03:56:53] <SWPadnos> and the basic functionality will work with any of the EMC GUIs, since it's not a GUI function at all
[03:57:21] <SWPadnos> no total hours, no distance traveled (or more importantly, actual cutting distance traveled)
[03:57:27] <l0st1nsp4c3> i think you misunderstood me I was just asking if such a thing was out there =)
[03:57:41] <SWPadnos> the GUIs should show the active tool - usually in the list of active G codes, as Txx
[03:58:08] <SWPadnos> heh. can't answer whether something exists until I know what you're asking about :)
[03:58:19] <l0st1nsp4c3> agreed my bad lol
[03:58:34] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: My long lost virginty
[03:58:53] <Jymmm> Reward if found
[03:58:59] <SWPadnos> I mean, tool selection could be something like "scrape the web to find the appropriate tool for cutting this particular material" :)
[03:59:21] <SWPadnos> on that note, I think I'll go to bed
[03:59:28] <Jymmm> lol
[03:59:29] <SWPadnos> no relation to Jymm's lost virginity
[03:59:31] <l0st1nsp4c3> would be nice yes to have feeds and rpm per tool and material u are cutting
[03:59:35] <SWPadnos> +m
[03:59:36] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: G'night!
[03:59:40] <l0st1nsp4c3> take care
[03:59:42] <l0st1nsp4c3> sleep well
[03:59:43] <SWPadnos> see you

[10:43:20] <DJ9DJ> hi folks
[10:47:22] <DJ9DJ> I am experiencing high latency values when there is access to the IDE drives (esp. hard drive)
[10:48:17] <DJ9DJ> the computer is a older Athlon Thunderbird on Epox 8KTA+ (VIA KT133 chipset). ACPI/APM is switched of in bios
[10:49:15] <DJ9DJ> I also tried to disable DMA, but no change. if I run the latency-test and start a copy of a large file, i got values above 100.000us
[10:49:32] <DJ9DJ> without copying, the values for max. jitter are about 25.000
[10:50:15] <DJ9DJ> has anyone an idea what causes this problem and how to solve it?
[10:52:21] <jthornton> are you getting lots of disk swapping during the copy? maybe lack of memory... just guessing
[10:52:28] <DJ9DJ> unfortunately, the board seems not to be able to boot from an usb stick, otherwise I would have tested the system without any IDE drive...
[10:52:44] <DJ9DJ> nope, the is enough free ram
[10:52:46] <jthornton> boot from the CD
[10:52:56] <DJ9DJ> yeah, but the CD is also IDE ;)
[10:53:42] <jthornton> hmmm, get a D510MO
[10:54:08] <DJ9DJ> intel atom?
[10:54:49] <jthornton> yea
[10:54:51] <DJ9DJ> is this known to work well?
[10:55:17] <jthornton> yes, read the forum and wiki about them
[10:55:40] <jthornton> most have < 10,000 latency
[10:56:04] <DJ9DJ> hmm, that would be nice :)
[10:56:25] <jthornton> 525 does have the parallel port brought out though the 510 it is on a header
[11:00:28] <DJ9DJ> hmm oksx
[11:00:30] <DJ9DJ> okay
[11:02:16] <DJ9DJ> i will try booting from the CD again and check the latency results (without connected hard drive)

[22:21:41] <anonimasu> psha: if im gonna write a tool to talk to some absolute encoders i'd like to release it as portable as possible
[22:22:21] <anonimasu> I have no idea how serial communication would work in python..
[22:22:30] <anonimasu> I did it before but, what's the default way
