[00:49:51] <John_f_> between two coils of what?
[00:50:40] <mikegg> sorry, a transformer
[00:51:15] <John_f_> well if it is low voltage and high current mabe not
[00:51:16] -!- OoBIGeye has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[00:51:25] <John_f_> maybe
[00:52:01] <mikegg> I thought I was going to do a series deal of 30 volts
[00:52:29] -!- OoBIGeye [OoBIGeye!~kent@194-237-160-59-no48.tbcn.telia.com] has joined #emc
[00:52:36] <mikegg> going to have to rethink my strategy
[00:52:45] <John_f_> oh from one winding to another?
[00:52:52] <mikegg> yes
[00:52:55] <John_f_> then you have a problme
[00:53:04] <jeramee> do you have to run a CNC with Gcode ?
[00:53:20] <John_f_> no
[00:53:23] <jeramee> can you just send signals to x, y and Z
[00:54:01] <John_f_> but if you want to use EMC you probably
[00:54:05] <John_f_> do
[00:54:13] <mikegg> I guess I'll take it out of the case, plug it in and see if it smokes again
[00:54:54] <jeramee> hmm
[00:55:10] <jeramee> so maybe program pic to understand g code then?
[00:56:23] <John_f_> sounds like re inventing the wheel
[00:56:48] <John_f_> a lot if work goes into a g code interpreter

[00:58:34] <jeramee> really
[00:58:52] <John_f_> what kind of machine do you want to control?
[00:59:04] <jeramee> any canned Code for Pic or AVR
[00:59:21] <jeramee> small machine with stepper motors on tracks
[00:59:28] <jeramee> with bearings
[00:59:44] <jeramee> moved by ball and cable or acme threads
[01:00:27] <John_f_> why not use EMC2?
[01:01:28] <jeramee> do I need to interperate Gcode
[01:01:31] <jeramee> to use
[01:01:40] <mikegg> can you wire two transformer secondary windings in series? is it just a matter of getting the phase right?
[01:02:11] <jeramee> or just send directions and full or half step
[01:02:13] <John_f_> yes as long as the voltage is not too high
[01:02:17] <PCW> yep they will add or subtract
[01:02:18] <jeramee> pulses
[01:03:02] -!- OoBIGeye_ has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[01:03:06] -!- OoBIGeye [OoBIGeye!~kent@194-237-160-59-no48.tbcn.telia.com] has joined #emc
[01:03:10] <John_f_> EMC2 will interperate the Gcode and make the pulses
[01:03:33] <John_f_> you don't have to invent anything
[01:04:14] <jeramee> nice
[01:04:45] <jeramee> does it send out direction, half, full step?
[01:05:09] <jeramee> what about input from encoder or limit switch or speed?
[01:05:13] <John_f_> it can send out direction and step
[01:05:35] <jeramee> I have read documentation and still unclear on a lot.
[01:05:55] <John_f_> you don't need encoder feedback with steppers
[01:06:04] <jeramee> hard to know where to begin, I have power supply designed and put together
[01:06:17] <jeramee> and my buddy has the frame 75% done
[01:06:39] <jeramee> just need to work on the interface and drivers
[01:06:44] <John_f_> you need stepper drives that take pulse and direction inputs
[01:06:46] <mikegg> i think the voltage shouldn't be higher than 30 volts pk-pk on these legs . has two other coils that go higher..
[01:07:34] <mikegg> would getting the phase wrong cause a transformer to smoke?
[01:07:39] <John_f_> mikegg: then series should be ok. it is best if the windings are the same
[01:07:43] <mikegg> I think I let some smoke out...
[01:07:53] <John_f_> no you wont get any voltage
[01:07:57] <mikegg> just a little bit!
[01:07:59] <John_f_> if the phase is wrong
[01:08:08] <jeramee> I have some that I can send pulses A -A B -B
[01:08:16] <jeramee> they were free
[01:08:27] <jeramee> and they go with the 3 amp motor
[01:09:24] -!- OoBIGeye has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
[01:09:31] <John_f_> A -A B -B should go to the motor
[01:09:37] <jeramee> I could program pic to interpret the direction and send the proper pulse to the motors
[01:09:53] -!- OoBIGeye [OoBIGeye!~kent@194-237-160-59-no48.tbcn.telia.com] has joined #emc
[01:10:33] <jeramee> is there an easy way to do than with pics
[01:11:01] <jeramee> I just was going to do it that way cause I know more about programming the pics than designing the circuits
[01:12:11] <PCW> mikegg if these are primary windings, yes wrong phasing on a spit primary will make a almost dead short
[01:12:25] <PCW> s/spit/spilt/
[01:12:45] <PCW> s/spilt/split/
[01:13:14] <jeramee> you know smoke runs the chips right?
[01:13:42] <jeramee> is why they stop working when you let the smoke out, lol
[01:14:18] -!- OoBIGeye has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
[01:14:53] <jeramee> no seriously though Mikegg, I am not a master of electronics and perhaps my power supply will not work at all, idk.
[01:15:11] -!- OoBIGeye [OoBIGeye!~kent@194-237-160-59-no48.tbcn.telia.com] has joined #emc
[01:15:17] <jeramee> But I ran all the math formula's and according to the numbers it will work.
[01:16:07] <jeramee> I will tell you what I built and maybe others that are more experienced than me can tell you if this is the proper way or not
[01:16:54] <jeramee> big transformer, bridge rectifier and some capacitors
[01:17:10] <jeramee> then on the other end make a switched mode power supply
[01:17:18] <mikegg> http://www.antekinc.com/pdf/AN-4458.pdf
[01:17:33] <mikegg> brown/brown and orange/orange are secondaries, no?
[01:18:01] <jeramee> put 3 switched mode power supply in parallel to the main power
[01:18:34] <jeramee> in theory if 1 or 2 motors are on the other will route current through diode
[01:18:50] <John_f_> mikegg: yes those are secondaries
[01:19:23] <jeramee> and if the current gets too high it will the switched power boards will route power through diode as well
[01:19:24] <John_f_> how did you connect the primarys red black
[01:19:45] <jeramee> the other way to do it is to use thermal shutdown powersupply
[01:19:48] <Tom_itx> jeramee, you do know there is code for avr to interpret gcode?
[01:20:00] <mikegg> i don't understand why it smoked. I wired one of the browns to one of the oranges. and went to measure between the other two. and it started smoking
[01:20:04] <John_f_> connect red to red and black to black
[01:20:09] <jeramee> spends more energy with thermal though.
[01:20:17] -!- OoBIGeye has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[01:20:17] <mikegg> they are all open now. no smoke
[01:20:21] -!- mhaberler has quit [Quit: mhaberler]
[01:20:29] <jeramee> I will go check on that schematic mike see if I can help
[01:20:47] <jeramee> <---- not all that knowledgeable though
[01:21:10] -!- Techrat_CT has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[01:21:48] <John_f_> mikegg: what you described soiunds OK
[01:22:26] <John_f_> did you apply 120V to the red and black?
[01:22:32] <mikegg> yea
[01:23:08] <John_f_> green and blue wires un connected?
[01:23:32] <mikegg> I have those wired in parallel. I surmise
[01:23:44] <mikegg> blue to blue and brown to brown
[01:23:52] <mikegg> ooooh maybe that smoked
[01:24:31] <mikegg> but I left that stuff hooked up and it didn't smoke just now
[01:24:42] <John_f_> brown to brown would be a shorted secondary
[01:24:48] <mikegg> right
[01:25:34] <John_f_> I would disconnect all secondaries then hook up the primary to power
[01:25:52] <John_f_> then measure each seconday winding and see if you get the correct voltages
[01:26:15] <John_f_> if not then you may have an internal shorted turn or turns and it will get hot
[01:29:29] <jeramee> oh tom stll here?
[01:32:47] <jeramee> i really only program pics been meaning to get into avr though cause usually you run out of pins on projects Pics tend to have more program memory etc but less pins
[01:33:00] <Tom_itx> i used to do pic
[01:33:21] <jeramee> people been saying AVR is good and easier to work with so I am thinking of changing
[01:33:32] <jeramee> if nothing else just for the extra pins
[01:33:34] <Tom_itx> avr have free tools and i think are better
[01:34:13] <Tom_itx> i've done up a programmer for em
[01:34:36] <jeramee> yeah I stay on Ubuntu and I downloaded a compiler that works in my code blocks so I am thinking of giving AVR as spin
[01:34:56] <jeramee> did you build from scratch and if so do you have any tips?
[01:35:28] <Tom_itx> http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/boards/USBTiny_Mkii/USBTiny_Mkii_index.php

[01:37:56] <jeramee> tom do you really think i need a pwm to send to my data lines on driver chips
[01:38:15] <Tom_itx> i wasn't following the thread
[01:38:24] <Tom_itx> just got in on the tail end of it
[01:38:27] <jeramee> can't i just use time delay like 1 what 5 sec
[01:38:38] <jeramee> or 0 wait 5 sec
[01:38:49] <jeramee> no one said i did on here
[01:39:09] <jeramee> just me and my buddy was talking about it last week
[01:39:29] <Tom_itx> for steppers?
[01:39:37] <mikegg> i gotta read up on this stuff. night fellas. thanks for your help
[01:39:53] <jeramee> yeah

[01:45:49] <Tom_itx> step and direction
[01:47:01] -!- OoBIGeye has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[01:49:19] <jeramee> yeah like if i send x forward = 1, x pulse =1, then i just send the pulse stream to A, -A, B, -B in the proper order based on the direction info
[01:49:44] <jeramee> if x pulse or x full step
[01:50:06] <jeramee> then no need to send pulses
[01:50:32] <jeramee> not sure if this is how EMC2 works
[01:50:42] <Tom_itx> if you're using a stepper driver you send it a pwm pulse and a direction
[01:51:03] <Tom_itx> unless you're generating the step pulse yourself
[01:51:44] <jeramee> i am generating the step pulse myself cause this is the chip that went with the motor
[01:52:03] <jeramee> a -a b -b
[01:52:18] <jeramee> so i would need 4 PWM outputs?
[01:52:57] <Tom_itx> http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/step/index.html
[01:55:45] <jeramee> you build reflow ovens tom?
[01:56:09] <jeramee> and btw thanks for link that is really helpful
[01:56:21] <Tom_itx> np
[01:56:23] <Tom_itx> and yes
[01:56:28] <Tom_itx> i built one
[01:58:16] <jeramee> you should build ones that are mountable to assembly line
[01:58:24] <jeramee> and pick and placement machines
[01:58:48] <jeramee> hack a day has 1 that is buildable for under 1 k

[02:23:20] <jeramee> does anyone recommend dynamic breaking for unipolar stepper motors?
[02:24:00] <jeramee> as I realize that torque is already an issue with stepping motors I am guessing no

[16:25:07] <syyl> second one :D

[16:25:29] <skunkworks> NOOOoooooo
[16:25:45] <syyl> *throws a rock*
[16:25:50] * skunkworks now writes a program to cut a 2X4 to length
[16:26:14] <syyl> emc controlled circular saw?
[16:26:40] <psha> skunkworks: all questions are on russian forums :)
[16:26:55] <psha> last week one guy was building contact rotrary scaner
[16:27:12] <Loetmichel> syyl: YOU of all peope throwing stones?
[16:27:25] <Loetmichel> for using manual machines?!?
[16:27:30] <syyl> of course :P
[16:27:41] <archivist_emc> I have been thinking of a cnc controlled microfiche scanner
[16:28:16] <archivist_emc> but cannot afford the camera I want yet
[16:28:17] <Loetmichel> syyl: you see me in total disbelief ;-)
[16:28:40] <syyl> im a cnc machinist finaly :P
[16:28:41] <Loetmichel> archivist_emc; microfiches?
[16:28:47] <syyl> at work and home..
[16:28:59] <Loetmichel> a 5Mpix webcam should be sufficient
[16:29:10] <Loetmichel> for ONE fice at a time
[16:29:21] <archivist_emc> Loetmichel, I think 10mp
[16:29:43] <Loetmichel> hmm, i think tahts not necessary
[16:29:49] <archivist_emc> some are smaller than others
[16:29:57] <psha> archivist_emc: microfiches?
[16:30:24] <Loetmichel> a single picture on a MF is as much information as on a legal sheet of paper
[16:30:39] <Loetmichel> so 5MPix should be enough

[16:31:25] <Loetmichel> and cheap usb-webcams have the advantage that the optics are easily adapte to macrofunction
[16:31:36] <archivist_emc> Loetmichel, fold out diagrams and in the denser format
[16:31:53] <psha> archivist_emc: ah, got it
[16:32:05] <psha> Loetmichel: cheap webcam is crap :(
[16:32:12] <Loetmichel> depends
[16:32:13] <psha> it's built from crap sensor
[16:32:17] <psha> and crap optics
[16:32:22] <psha> glued using melted crap
[16:32:27] <archivist_emc> been practicing with 7mp camera and its not up to the job
[16:32:34] <Loetmichel> i have an old 3,3 mpix mustek digicam
[16:32:37] <psha> archivist_emc: get some canon camera with chdk

[16:33:33] <Loetmichel> (for about 30$ it has decent optics)
[16:33:47] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=111

[16:34:13] <archivist_emc> so I know already 5mp wont cut it
[16:34:32] <psha> archivist_emc: maybe you need to project it somehow?
[16:35:27] <archivist_emc> http://www.collection.archivist.info/archive/fiche_experiments/50mm_on_stand/IMG_1063.JPG
[16:35:43] <archivist_emc> that is not a full coverage on 7mp
[16:36:12] <archivist_emc> canon 300D
[16:36:41] <Loetmichel> hmm, i dont have any microfiches to test
[16:37:00] <Loetmichel> but i think a better Webcam would do
[16:37:05] <archivist_emc> I have 600 ish to scan
[16:37:20] <Loetmichel> have heard there are now some with 8mpix on the market
[16:37:28] <archivist_emc> oops 0 missing 6000
[16:38:04] <archivist_emc> I have seen 10mp microscope cameras, cannot afford though
[16:38:40] <Loetmichel> hmm, maybe it would be better to buy a cheap usb dia scanner and adapt the optics?=
[16:38:41] <archivist_emc> getting the camera stand solid enough is another problem
[16:39:34] <syyl> use more steel
[16:39:37] <syyl> ;)
[16:40:17] <Loetmichel> and then dont project the image but use some steppers to move it on the scanning surface of the dismantled diascanner directly?
[16:40:19] <archivist_emc> psha, I did take a pic of one projected in a microfiche reader. poor light coverage
[16:41:24] <psha> archivist_emc: btw your 300d has macro mode?
[16:42:02] <archivist_emc> psha, I added a close up, also done an experiment with lens on a tube

[16:48:21] <jtektool> anyone got any tips on homing maybe just slow it down?
[16:48:41] <jtektool> im getting +-.005 on homing position
[16:48:41] <anonimasu> jtektool: trip the sensor make a slow move when going bck
[16:48:43] <anonimasu> back
[16:49:04] <psha> very slow latch velocity don't help?
[16:49:10] <psha> maybe your sensor is not ideal?
[16:49:17] <archivist_emc> and make sure the switch is a good one
[16:49:22] <jtektool> hmm just using defaults now i just ran my first art two days ago
[16:49:29] <jtektool> *part
[16:49:50] <jtektool> they are origial anilam sensors
[16:50:26] <jtektool> prolly just need to slow it down a little in the ini right
[16:51:01] <psha> jtektool: there are two velocities - search and latch
[16:51:07] <jtektool> aha
[16:51:09] <psha> you need to lower latch
[16:51:10] <psha> not search
[16:51:15] <psha> search is initial part of homing
[16:51:19] <jtektool> gotcha
[16:51:25] <jtektool> thanks a billion
[16:51:30] <psha> there is very good scheme describing this process in docs
[16:51:33] <psha> in Homing section
[16:51:37] <jtektool> cool

[17:01:12] <skunkworks_> finally cooled off a bit here
[17:01:13] <jtektool> we get like 4 days a month in the 70s
[17:01:13] * anonimasu has a infinite stream of one off parts
[17:01:25] <IchGuckLive> in spring we also got 16weeks with no drop of rain and 100f here

[17:05:25] <anonimasu> brass
[17:05:35] <anonimasu> i dont have any copper stock
[17:05:54] <anonimasu> it's kind of heavy and the shaft is springy, but it was intentional
[17:05:59] <IchGuckLive> jtektool: only 2 vids
[17:06:09] <anonimasu> so whatever you slap dosent hurt you
[17:06:20] <IchGuckLive> brass is not good for tooling anonimasu
[17:06:39] <anonimasu> hmm, it should be alot softer then the steel im machining
[17:07:32] <jtektool> yeah new setup
[17:07:33] <anonimasu> jtektool: before you know it you'll have big servos with encoders and 10m/min rapids :]
[17:07:55] <jtektool> hmm i got two new machines to do i just finished that one
[17:07:59] <IchGuckLive> jtektool: Monitor more worth then the hole mashine
[17:08:09] <jtektool> hah
[17:08:17] <jtektool> it just drills rails
[17:08:34] <anonimasu> wouldnt it be better to drill them faster :D
[17:08:37] <IchGuckLive> is ther only one driver stage
[17:08:39] <anonimasu> zip zip zip
[17:09:12] <jtektool> yeah that was a first run so i slowed everything way down cuz i get paranoid
[17:09:26] <jtektool> if i break a tool or something someone will hang me
[17:09:32] <anonimasu> why?
[17:10:00] <IchGuckLive> its yout tol so break as mutch as you want
[17:10:09] <jtektool> no its my dads tools
[17:10:16] <jtektool> we run the shop together
[17:10:27] <IchGuckLive> ah
[17:10:28] <anonimasu> you know, you cant really be cheap on tools or be scared to break them if you intend to be machining stuff
[17:10:31] <anonimasu> take my word for it
[17:10:44] <anonimasu> it's the cost of buisness :)
[17:10:45] <IchGuckLive> onky one tool in the shop thats good to the envirermant payment
[17:11:02] <jtektool> yeah that was the first time running that post processor in mastercam too
[17:11:22] * anonimasu sums up the broken tools of today 1 insert edge.. -_-
[17:11:32] <anonimasu> it went better then my first run
[17:11:32] <IchGuckLive> ah use heekscnc this will reduce the cost by 100%
[17:11:34] <jtektool> 4/cutter speed /diameter i know
[17:11:45] <jtektool> 4*cutter speed / diameter
[17:11:58] <anonimasu> mhm, chipload * speed = feed
[17:12:17] <anonimasu> for everything up to 5-20mm that works pretty good
[17:12:17] <jtektool> right not much chipload in fiberglass
[17:12:39] <IchGuckLive> V=d*PI*n to get n
[17:12:40] <syyl> forgott number of tooth, anonimasu
[17:12:47] <jtektool> correcto
[17:12:56] <anonimasu> I did
[17:13:06] <anonimasu> mhm, chipload * speed * teeth = feed
[17:13:07] <anonimasu> sorry.
[17:13:08] <anonimasu> :)
[17:13:12] <syyl> :)
[17:13:17] <jtektool> :)
[17:13:18] <IchGuckLive> thees*chipload*n 0 speed
[17:13:22] <syyl> or you use only flycutters :D
[17:13:33] <anonimasu> I never ever use thoose
[17:13:42] <anonimasu> most stuff I cut with my indexable 20mm cutter
[17:13:57] <IchGuckLive> and kep the chipload low for real good cost efficency
[17:14:02] <anonimasu> long overhang so it chatters a bit, but not enough to destroy the inserts
[17:14:17] <anonimasu> like 80mm overhang..
[17:14:17] <archivist_emc> psha, do you know which canon 10mp powershot does work with chdk, dont want to buy n cameras to find a working one
[17:14:17] <anonimasu> :)
[17:14:22] <syyl> hu?
[17:14:26] <syyl> hold the chipload up
[17:14:30] <syyl> the cutter wants to cut
[17:14:32] <syyl> not rub
[17:14:38] <anonimasu> then i tweak the speed to make it not chatter in cut
[17:14:44] <syyl> needs something to bite ;=
[17:14:54] <jtektool> anyways we have tool libraries in mastercam that just saves it all but i have know library for this machine every machine seems to have nuances
[17:15:10] <jtektool> like a 30 year old machine
[17:15:22] <syyl> every job has its nuances...
[17:15:24] <psha> archivist_emc: there is extensive list on chdk dev wiki
[17:15:30] <psha> better to check there
[17:15:49] <syyl> some parameters that work on one job, sometimes don't even close work for another
[17:16:16] <IchGuckLive> syyl: agree
[17:16:34] <jtektool> and then theres the different kinds of stainless
[17:16:40] <jtektool> i hate machining stainless
[17:16:42] <anonimasu> I cut pretty much only flame cut steel
[17:16:56] <syyl> i cut plastics most of the time.. ;)
[17:17:09] <IchGuckLive> 1.2316 is the most hate to me
[17:17:44] <anonimasu> IchGuckLive: that seems neat compared to the hardox :D
[17:17:47] <jtektool> man one time this dude was eying this piece of stainless and a molten hot chip flew of and burned his face
[17:17:49] <syyl> stuff like that..

[17:18:48] <anonimasu> indeed
[17:18:56] <IchGuckLive> anonimasu: but i found a new one its only in Böhler M303 that is better and more millable but more prici 2
[17:18:58] <anonimasu> I cut a piece for a furnace the other day
[17:19:12] <anonimasu> IchGuckLive: what if you factor in tool cost?
[17:19:22] <anonimasu> does it even out?
[17:19:44] <anonimasu> syyl: what amazing fun fixturing that must have been
[17:19:44] <anonimasu> :D
[17:19:46] <IchGuckLive> tool is ok
[17:19:57] <Loetmichel> syyl: is that really plastics?

[17:24:15] <IchGuckLive> i got a modell builder in town that sells this for 2,5Euros per KG
[17:24:35] <syyl> we use it always for milling fixtures as its pretty cheap and can be machined easylie
[17:24:44] <Loetmichel> but glass fibre shoud be about a tenth the price
[17:24:56] <IchGuckLive> syyl: as here 2
[17:25:02] <syyl> :)
[17:25:14] <syyl> also doing prototyping work?

[17:26:05] <syyl> hehe
[17:26:12] <Loetmichel> source
[17:26:19] <syyl> we do below 10 parts...
[17:26:20] <IchGuckLive> Loetmichel: size ?
[17:26:22] <Loetmichel> small
[17:26:38] <Loetmichel> about 200*200*20-100mm
[17:26:40] <IchGuckLive> 100x100x300
[17:26:49] <Loetmichel> would be ok also
[17:26:56] <Loetmichel> cutoffs and such
[17:28:28] <Loetmichel> and maybe some parts in 210*120*40 or bigger and a density which can accomodate a spax screw without bulging

[17:33:07] <Loetmichel> as i have two ppl here wich have experience with this stuff: is it possible to get a double sided tape fixed on the lighter densitys AND peel it off without damaging the plate or the need to shave the glue off by milling it some tenths?
[17:33:37] <syyl> with a good grade of double sided tape, yes
[17:33:45] <syyl> just peel of and be happy
[17:34:00] <syyl> its my standard sacrificial milling plate

[17:37:46] <jtektool> these are what ligns up backup cameras in all ford gm hummer nissans
[17:38:53] <anonimasu> a weird thing
[17:39:13] <jtektool> actual goal is to automate these knobs with servos and emc in the future
[17:39:56] <jtektool> the deal is there is a photosensor on the chip which must align exactly on the lens or they dont work
[17:40:44] <jtektool> cant give up pictures of the automated one yet cuz we have only one finished and therez some serious trade secrets but i can tell you that
[17:41:26] <jtektool> it aligns lens to photosensor and takes a picture of target and references a jpeg
[17:42:15] -!- awallin has quit [Quit: http://quassel-irc.org - Chat comfortably. Anywhere.]

[17:42:57] <jtektool> i just dont want trouble from ford
[17:43:50] <anonimasu> good point :D
[17:44:16] <jtektool> but hey where linux dudes i like sharing
[17:44:21] <jtektool> we're
[17:45:25] <anonimasu> I wouldnt like people giving away how my stuff works inside either ^_^
[17:46:22] <jtektool> its funny tho therez not much secrets just a very standard camera with a very standard 12v signal
[17:47:10] <jtektool> and a very standard signal i use a rca cable to hook up to that tv in the picture and a computer psu with a load resistor across 5v

[17:56:48] <jtektool> so anybody got any idea about licensing issues if i do you emc in custom machines?
[17:57:27] <jtektool> i know people prefer bsd license for selling things i wouldnt really be selling the software
[17:58:15] -!- Loetmichel has quit [Ping timeout: 258 seconds]
[17:58:16] <newbynobi> jtektool: You dont sell the software, but your technical solution.
[17:58:22] <jtektool> but if i build a machine and use emc as a control (with some added custom python widgits) can i get in trouble for selling the hardware
[17:58:27] <jtektool> right
[17:58:29] <alex4nder> jtektool: that alignment is cool, I worked on a project where our camera had 3 CCDs, and each one was offset from the other by half a pixel (north/south, east/west)
[17:58:33] <newbynobi> So there should not be a problem
[17:59:03] <alex4nder> jtektool: so the CCDs had to be aligned down to a half pixel, and then glued in place.
[17:59:26] <newbynobi> No, I don't think you get trouble, but you are forced to give all changes as open source
[17:59:51] <jtektool> what about python widgets
[18:00:25] <jtektool> i really dont care all these guys are so scared of linux anyways and i like sharing
[18:00:30] <newbynobi> If they are includes in the software, you have to open all the source
[18:01:01] <jtektool> yeah prolly just will anyways i dont want any legal snafus
[18:01:12] <alex4nder> it also depends on how you tie the python code into the existing source
[18:01:18] <jtektool> but we got ideas for hexapods and such
[18:01:37] <alex4nder> but if you GPLed your Python, anyone who you sold it to, would have to give back to the changes if they distribute it.

[18:02:11] <jtektool> i dont want someone changing stuff and then reselling it
[18:02:17] <alex4nder> then don't use the GPL
[18:02:18] <IchGuckLive> id Go open or Go Home !
[18:02:23] <jtektool> we get a lot of that
[18:02:28] <alex4nder> because you don't have a choice in that case.

[18:03:01] <alex4nder> if you ship modified EMC, and your code is part of the EMC application, people could potentially resell the changes you've made.
[18:03:22] <alex4nder> but I mean, you got EMC for free with that stipulation, so it's just part of the process.
[18:04:00] <jtektool> well we do a lot of first run engineering and theres so much backstabbing in the game right now
[18:04:38] <jtektool> stuff ends up in china and then these guys call us like we cant get this to work...can you fix it for us...
[18:04:44] <alex4nder> haha
[18:05:15] <newbynobi> What about writing your own comp file. I donn't thing this ones mus be open source, because the are not integratet in EMC
[18:05:16] <alex4nder> that's when you name your price
[18:05:39] <jtektool> lol
[18:05:48] <alex4nder> newbynobi: I've never heard that config files used by GPLed code inherit a GPL license.
[18:06:11] <alex4nder> but then again, the GPL is kind of hazy on how it applies.
[18:06:18] <anonimasu> no it's not hazy on that part
[18:06:23] <jtektool> yeah so what about xmls that add buttons to axis and such
[18:06:27] <anonimasu> you can write closed source components that links with gpl code
[18:06:31] <alex4nder> hahaha
[18:06:35] <alex4nder> anonimasu: no you can't.
[18:06:42] <alex4nder> that's the whole point.
[18:06:54] <anonimasu> as a matter of fact you are allowed i think in lgpl2 or something
[18:07:01] <alex4nder> the LGPL isn't the GPL
[18:07:16] <anonimasu> or was it gpl2
[18:07:21] <jtektool> oh so confusing
[18:07:31] <jtektool> i think thats the diff between 2 and 3
[18:08:04] <jtektool> i just want to build stuff
[18:08:27] <alex4nder> jtektool: the GPLv3 is more expansive than the GPLv2,.. it doesn't let you link binaries either.
[18:09:04] * anonimasu sighs
[18:09:23] <anonimasu> I think you can use gpl software commercially but only if you ship the source with whatever you distribute
[18:09:46] <jtektool> The GPL does not require you to release your modified version, or any part of it. You are free to make modifications and use them privately, without ever releasing them. This applies to organizations (including companies), too; an organization can make a modified version and use it internally without ever releasing it outside the organization.
[18:10:03] <jtektool> got that from gpl site^^^
[18:10:09] <anonimasu> that's nice
[18:10:18] <alex4nder> jtektool: if you ship your software to someone else, it's no longer used internally.
[18:10:30] <alex4nder> e.g. if you sell a product based on the GPL to someone, and give them the product.
[18:11:41] -!- El_Matarife has quit [Quit: Nettalk6 - www.ntalk.de]
[18:12:21] <jtektool> Does the GPL allow me to sell copies of the program for money? answer coming
[18:12:40] <jtektool> Yes, the GPL allows everyone to do this. The right to sell copies is part of the definition of free software. Except in one special situation, there is no limit on what price you can charge. (The one exception is the required written offer to provide source code that must accompany binary-only release.)
[18:13:01] <jtektool> so i am confused
[18:13:10] <alex4nder> what's confusing?
[18:13:16] <anonimasu> it's pretty clear
[18:13:22] <anonimasu> you need to provide the sourcecode on request
[18:13:43] <alex4nder> you have to give people the same rights you got.
[18:14:09] <jtektool> yeah so i can sell it to them but they can redistribute it to anyone?
[18:14:40] <alex4nder> yes
[18:14:44] <jtektool> this a totally academic discussion by the way the plan is to give the software and sell the hardware
[18:15:21] <jtektool> which was by the way how all computer hardware was before microsuck
[18:15:21] <anonimasu> you can always patent the mechanical part of a process
[18:15:35] <jtektool> for 8,000
[18:15:37] <jtektool> $
[18:15:55] <anonimasu> or "design" protect it
[18:16:02] <jtektool> we had a situation once where we didnt patent something and the company we sold it to did
[18:16:10] <anonimasu> so nobody can build a machine that looks similiar
[18:16:19] <anonimasu> you couldnt show prior art?
[18:16:46] <jtektool> yeah and as a matter of fact its a linux box hookt to ntp
[18:16:49] <jtektool> server
[18:17:00] <anonimasu> you can trademark how things look also...
[18:17:15] <anonimasu> if you want to protect them a bit, but you dont want to have a full parent
[18:17:17] <anonimasu> patent
[18:18:19] <jtektool> said situation is why i brought all this up cuz business people just seems slimy to me as an engineer/programmer
[18:18:39] <alex4nder> jtektool: business people think they're better than you at business.. because they probably are.. so they exploit that.
[18:19:42] <jtektool> yeah well of course they are i'm thinking on how to actually build something it goes back to a sort of tesla/edison debate

[19:57:03] <skunkworks> that sounds like a plan - get a 5i20 or such for you big mill
[19:57:14] <danimal_garage> i have a 5i20 on there
[19:57:21] <danimal_garage> i'm out of room
[19:57:27] <skunkworks> oh - really - and you used all the i/o up?
[19:58:01] <danimal_garage> i have a 7i42 and a 7i37, and they're mostly full
[19:58:13] <danimal_garage> all the outputs are used on the 7i37

[20:17:25] <danimal_garage> whats with the 7i64?
[20:17:30] <danimal_garage> ah
[20:17:33] <danimal_garage> beat me to it
[20:18:13] <danimal_garage> how do i connect that? do i need a 7i50 or something to connect it to the 5i20?
[20:18:35] <andypugh> 7i44
[20:19:09] <andypugh> I think you could just use wires, but the 7i44 lets you hook it all up with ethernet patch cables

[20:47:35] <anonimasu> ^_____________^ perfect! thanks
[20:48:53] <danimal_garage> PCW: do you have any 7i48's in stock?

[20:53:11] <PCW> You will need EMC 2.5 for the 7I48 (and 7I48 is a little different, than 7I33: needs PWM mode 2 @24 KHz)

[21:06:01] <anonimasu> by default yes, but there's a million usb adapters for it
[21:06:50] <JT-Shop> ok, I'll just use my wife's laptop to download some photos from my phone and quit looking on all the rest of the computers
[21:07:08] <IG-garage> What if I draw in XY plane (with QCad) a detail, and pathes for cutter, then create G-code for it as it's a profile (in HeeksCAD), and manually edit it, what would you guys say, "it's OK for hobby stuff" or "it's stupid at a firm which does milling and turning"?
[21:07:33] <anonimasu> it's ok, but it's not cost efficient
[21:08:00] <IG-garage> JT-Shop: USB bluetooth dongle can be added to any computer
[21:08:17] <anonimasu> IG-garage: i'd say that you should spend a hour or two tweaking until it works flawlessly
[21:08:18] <IG-garage> anonimasu: i thought the same :)
[21:08:25] <JT-Shop> yea, I just need to download some photos, I'll use the wife's laptop
[21:08:44] <IG-garage> yeah, exactly, i'm tweaking after SprutCAM about 15 minutes only
[21:09:00] <anonimasu> IG-garage: also, it opens space for errors(expensive ones)

[21:10:21] <JT-Shop> got a few more things to move like my 1500lb workbench
[21:10:41] <danimal_garage> nice
[21:10:42] <IG-garage> anonimasu: no, i'm using EMC to clearly see the paths of cutters, and i edit g-code from postprocessors a bit with assistance of EMC
[21:10:42] <JT-Shop> I have some mudding to do now on the last couple of rows of sheetrock
[21:10:56] <danimal_garage> cool

[21:16:11] <anonimasu> mhm, I wonder if I could force it to post heidenhain..
[21:16:24] <Connor> danimal_garage It can be loud at max RPM.. But, I have it in a enclosure.. with the door to my office closed, my wife can't here it in the bed room (next room over)
[21:16:29] <IG-garage> anonimasu: in HeeksCNC, context menu on 'Program' offers to choose the type of the g-code produced

[21:25:01] <danimal_garage> it was an industrial part marker, it had a printer head on it
[21:25:03] <anonimasu> or how can I change the post it uses?
[21:25:10] <danimal_garage> it was made by a company
[21:25:37] <danimal_garage> very heavy duty though, it weighs a couple hundred lbs, and has ball screws and linear bearings

[21:26:48] <anonimasu> actually how do i change the post?
[21:26:49] <andypugh> PCW: I can't really think of a good way to integrate the UART FIFO into TRAM addressing. Can you?
[21:27:00] <danimal_garage> Connor: that's the machine
[21:27:10] <andypugh> low-level reads and writes seem more sensible.
[21:27:49] <andypugh> danimal_garage: Is it rigid enough for engraving? I would imagine that a printer exerts zero force.
[21:28:02] <danimal_garage> yes
[21:28:04] <Connor> danimal_garage: interesting.
[21:28:14] <skunkworks> andypugh: I think there is a #cam channel that is related to heeks

[23:27:41] <Guest90838> anyone here using adaptive feed control ?
[23:27:56] <JT-Shop> for?
[23:28:19] <Guest90838> adapting their feed ?
[23:28:34] <JT-Shop> to what?
[23:28:48] <Guest90838> exactly ...
[23:29:00] <Guest90838> I'm wondering what for
[23:29:30] <JT-Shop> well I use voltage feedback to control my Z axis position
[23:29:41] <Guest90838> yeh ?
[23:29:49] <Guest90838> voltage feedback from ?
[23:29:55] <IG-garage> CAM software have adaptive feeds through implemented data about chip load and amount of flutes and material. IT generates the G-code afterwards. You may change feed rates it produces though.
[23:30:25] <Guest90838> IG>> that is the analogy of 'open-loop' feed control
[23:30:27] <Guest90838> ?
[23:30:27] <JT-Shop> tip voltage
[23:30:36] <IG-garage> I mean, it offers feed rate, but you also can assign it yourself.
[23:30:56] <Guest90838> tip voltage huh - ooh, for ... um, yeh whats that ?

[23:32:00] <IG-garage> do you mean velocity of movements or any hardware thingies?

[23:32:18] <JT-Shop> finally the real question
[23:32:31] <Guest90838> its *a* question
[23:32:43] <Guest90838> I did want to know about other uses also

[23:32:56] <Guest90838> shucks - I might just not ask it now ;)
[23:33:39] <Guest90838> anyways - cant resist:

[23:34:43] <Guest90838> ok, so you have a spindle that is tryign to maintain an RPM - when it loads up - the current will go up - you output a signal proportional to this
[23:34:56] <Guest90838> to EMC - via, I dunno a Mesa board ?
[23:35:19] <IG-garage> oh, this question is not to me.
[23:35:46] <JT-Shop> could be done but...
[23:35:58] <Guest90838> EMC2 can now propotionally modify the feed (the coodinated feed of all axes) so that the drive will never overload
[23:36:12] <Guest90838> or if set appropriately - the tooling wont break
[23:36:33] <JT-Shop> if g code is done correctly tooling will never break
[23:36:36] <Guest90838> this way, you can have a set load, rather than a set feed
[23:36:50] <JT-Shop> and proper examination of cutting edges before a job
[23:36:57] <Guest90838> this way, you dont have to set g-code correctly - which takes time
[23:37:10] <JT-Shop> no time at all to do it right the first time
[23:37:16] <Guest90838> also the feed rate will effectviely me maximised to whatever load you set
[23:37:24] <Guest90838> another time saver -
[23:37:30] <JT-Shop> tooling is not designed to be used that way
[23:37:44] <JT-Shop> and will wear out quicker wasting time
[23:38:03] <JT-Shop> good idea though
[23:38:04] <Guest90838> but you can set the load to be anything - minimal if you choose
[23:38:14] <Guest90838> *less* than normal ...
[23:38:32] <JT-Shop> that will wear out your tools real fast and cause breakage
[23:38:47] <Guest90838> ok, *optimised* for your tool
[23:39:34] <JT-Shop> then that is the proper SFM and FPT for the tool set by S and F
[23:39:34] <Guest90838> whatever it is about non-adaptive 'constant feedrate' that is better for tooling - you could program
[23:39:45] <Guest90838> yes
[23:40:10] <Guest90838> but your part isn't a series of linear moves in everycase
[23:40:14] -!- adb has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[23:40:22] <JT-Shop> like I said earlier yes you can do it if you want
[23:40:59] <Guest90838> it might have turns and weird conventional to climb crossovers - ball mills on 5 axis etc...
[23:41:19] <JT-Shop> might be...
[23:41:49] <Guest90838> why woudl it " wear out your tools real fast and cause breakage " ?
[23:42:22] <JT-Shop> minimal feed rates will cause heat build up and destroy your cutting edges
[23:42:40] <Guest90838> ahh ok
[23:42:46] <Guest90838> yes agreed
[23:42:50] <JT-Shop> end mills are designed to remove material at a rate to also remove the heat build up from cutting
[23:44:01] <Guest90838> so is there any way or at least partial correration between 'proper' speed+feed and current/drive load ?
[23:44:11] <JT-Shop> yes, you can do it
[23:44:36] <Guest90838> but it aint the bucket of kittens I thought it was ? (I like kittens)
[23:44:47] <JT-Shop> so do I
[23:45:19] <Guest90838> so does what I'm talking about have any at least partial correlation to a bucket of kittens ?
[23:45:22] <andypugh> Guest90838: Yes, that is what adaptive feed is for, and EMC2 has a pin for it.
[23:45:24] <JT-Shop> it should not be much of a challenge to do with HAL
[23:45:41] <andypugh> motion.adaptive-feed I think..
[23:45:54] <JT-Shop> that in 2.5 Andy?
[23:46:11] <Guest90838> seems like its there in 2.4.x
[23:46:33] <andypugh> It's been there a while. Since at least 2,3
[23:46:36] <andypugh> http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config_emc2hal.html
[23:46:38] <JT-Shop> yep I see it in 2.4
[23:46:55] <Guest90838> just wondering who is using it this way ?
[23:46:59] <andypugh> M52 to turn it on.
[23:47:04] <Guest90838> yup
[23:47:05] <Valen> its probably cheaper than a copy of mastercam with enough addons to do it "right"
[23:47:24] <Guest90838> "right" ?
[23:47:25] <andypugh> I seem to recall hearing of it as the latest thing.
[23:47:32] <andypugh> (But that was 10 years ago :-)
[23:47:45] <JT-Shop> motion.adaptive-feed IN float
[23:47:47] <JT-Shop>
[23:47:49] <JT-Shop> When adaptive feed is enabled with M52 P1, the commanded velocity is multiplied by this value. This effect is multiplicative with the NML-level feed override value and motion.feed-hold.
[23:47:50] <Valen> the way JT-Shopwas talking about
[23:48:03] <Guest90838> ahhh
[23:48:31] <Guest90838> but that way seems to have a bit of a breakdown in the 'feedback' loop
[23:48:46] <andypugh> So, with a closed-loop spindle you could probably just hook direct into the P-term of the PID as your adaptive feed input :-)
[23:48:49] <Valen> in theory you should need no feedback

[23:49:21] <Valen> in practise it might help prevent a gouge being a really bad day

[23:49:50] <andypugh> It isn't just EMC2
[23:49:53] <JT-Shop> I'd bet it would be too late if you program G0 instead of G1
[23:50:18] <Tom_itx> who would do such a thing?
[23:50:25] <Valen> i dunno we seem to be able to take out a fair chunk before the tool snaps ;->
[23:50:28] <JT-Shop> let me find the photo
[23:50:41] <andypugh> I have thought about using it as a way to give a closed-loop stepper the chance to "catch up"
[23:51:22] <Guest90838> in saying you can program your moves so that feeds and speeds are perfect and you'll have no feedback is forgetting that the knowledge you used to program the part drew upon observations of previous work and applied it *yourself* - i.e. you were closing the loop ;)
[23:51:29] <Valen> it'd be usefull when optimising toolpaths

[23:52:13] <Valen> see that made a fair dent ;->
[23:52:26] <JT-Shop> HSS end mill too
[23:52:30] <andypugh> How about machining a natural material like wood, where there is piece-to-piece variation?
[23:52:41] <Guest90838> I wonder what they mean by "other process data" ->>>>"depending on the respective spindle power consumption and other process data"
[23:52:45] <Valen> we are doing some wood now
[23:52:51] <Valen> its *really* variable

[23:52:58] <JT-Shop> that's where your ears and the FO knob come into play yes?
[23:53:20] <Valen> spindle power feedback is doing that automagically for you
[23:53:23] <Guest90838> yes! you are the feedback
[23:53:29] <andypugh> Well, yes, but adaptive feed means you fon't need ears.
[23:53:30] <Guest90838> in that case
[23:53:32] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop, is that how you warm up your bbq?
[23:53:53] <JT-Shop> what's that Tom_itx ?
[23:53:59] <Tom_itx> the pic
[23:54:01] <andypugh> JT-Shop: I reckon you could braze that cutter back together, it still looks sharp.
[23:54:16] <Guest90838> Those two cutters in that pic are missing ends ...
[23:54:22] <JT-Shop> not really sharp any more
[23:54:44] <Guest90838> you'd need another two broken in just the same spots though ??
[23:54:58] <JT-Shop> I could make a rotary broach from the upper part...
[23:55:21] <Guest90838> reduced shank huh ?
[23:55:44] <JT-Shop> oh yea Kate Bush Coffee Homeground... I like that one
