[00:00:04] <Guest90838> yeh - ok imagine, a large object - too heavy to push by hand that is articulated along an 'axis' - a linear bearing and a screw for instance
[00:00:28] <Guest90838> you stick a stick on the side of it - poking out, like a big thing you could push it with
[00:00:49] <Guest90838> then stick a strain gauge on the back end of it
[00:01:18] <Guest90838> push it - it aint going anywhere! cos its too heavy (and connected to a braked motor also)
[00:01:27] <Guest90838> the stick will bend
[00:01:45] <Guest90838> the strain gauge will provide a voltage differential
[00:02:17] <Guest90838> appropriately connect this output into the control of the motor - via, maybe M52 ...
[00:02:21] <Guest90838> object moves
[00:02:27] <Guest90838> strain goes away !
[00:02:32] <Guest90838> object doesn't move
[00:03:31] <Guest90838> and so on - tune it right you pretty much have assisted but (hopefully) *natural* response - you could tune it to be however 'heavy' you wanted
[00:03:43] -!- theorb [theorb!~theorb@91.84.53.6] has joined #emc
[00:03:57] <Guest90838> so you could job your X, Y and Z by hand ?
[00:04:07] <Guest90838> oops
[00:04:10] -!- theorbtwo has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[00:04:16] theorb is now known as theorbtwo
[00:04:16] <Guest90838> 'job' = 'jog'
[00:04:57] <Guest90838> am I boring you lot ?
[00:05:04] <toastydeath> the major reason for tool breakage in manual feeding is feed inconsistency
[00:05:24] <Guest90838> in carbide thats my experience yes
[00:05:30] <toastydeath> you could reduce tool breakage by just flipping a "smooth this input" switch
[00:05:57] <Guest90838> that could be tuned that way yes - a Low pass filter
[00:06:36] <toastydeath> an even better way (and the way most manufacturers deal with it) is to offer up a pair of operation controls rather than just an mpg
[00:06:58] <toastydeath> one jogwheel, and then arrows with a "feed lock" button + feed adjustment knob
[00:07:00] <Guest90838> actually, hmmm - carbide breakign was more a function of chatter - maybe feed inconsistency helped in that case ?
[00:07:19] <Guest90838> operation controls ?
[00:07:34] <toastydeath> operation controls, i.e. how you move the machine by hand
[00:07:38] <toastydeath> rather than under program control
[00:07:50] <Guest90838> like a joystick ?
[00:07:55] <toastydeath> no, a joystick is terrible
[00:07:56] <Guest90838> or what I;m talkign about ?
[00:08:00] <toastydeath> no
[00:08:34] <toastydeath> these are a manual jogwheel with discrete movement increments, and then a set of arrow keys in each direction
[00:08:45] -!- robh__ has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[00:08:50] <Guest90838> I'd liek to google it - but fear, well... the results from googling 'operation controls'
[00:08:58] <toastydeath> when you want to jog to a dimension, you use the mpg, and when you want to feed, you press one of the buttons
[00:09:05] <toastydeath> and the machine operates like a power feed
[00:09:08] <toastydeath> on a manual machine.
[00:09:13] <Guest90838> right
[00:09:31] <toastydeath> there's usually a switch to toggle from power feed to instantaneous feed
[00:09:39] <Guest90838> I used the mill analogy as that is what most people use EMC for
[00:09:42] <toastydeath> some of the better ones also have a "move by this specified amount per push"
[00:09:48] <Guest90838> but I'm actually talking about other machines
[00:10:02] <Guest90838> like the axis interface ...
[00:10:17] <toastydeath> relying on the feed pressure is not a reliable way to control the radial forces that break cutters, unfortunately
[00:10:36] <toastydeath> IIRC a few manufacturers experimented with it but nobody wound up using it because it broke cutters in other circumstances
[00:11:02] <Guest90838> yeh>?
[00:11:22] <Guest90838> so its not even better than *not* using it ? its worse ?
[00:11:30] <Guest90838> other machines = http://www.alphagrip.co.uk/communities/3/004/006/692/773/images/4523305833.jpg
[00:11:47] <toastydeath> it's not worse, i just read that it fails in certain cutting conditions

[00:11:49] <toastydeath> what those are i am not sure
[00:12:01] -!- andypugh has quit [Quit: andypugh]
[00:12:08] <toastydeath> they already have that kind of interface on those robots
[00:12:17] <toastydeath> it's fairly new
[00:12:24] <Guest90838> I use those very robots
[00:12:31] <Guest90838> I know them ;)
[00:12:58] <Guest90838> they use buttons and analog joysticks
[00:13:12] <toastydeath> no, i am not talking about buttons and joysticks
[00:13:19] <toastydeath> i am talking about the industrial robots where you push them
[00:13:25] <toastydeath> to get to them to move
[00:13:30] <Guest90838> I am ;) Just sayign what those cranes use
[00:14:04] <Guest90838> this stuff can be implemented in EMC2 ?
[00:14:34] <toastydeath> i have no idea, you'll have to ask one of the devs
[00:14:57] <Guest90838> the feed pressure thing I guess it has a bit of thinking to be done around the difference between slotting and plunging (and all the angles in between)
[00:16:58] -!- moopy has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[00:18:06] <Guest90838> like if your 'feed' was more in Z as opposed to horizontal the rate change might be more or less than if it were more horizontal

[00:19:36] -!- jthornton has quit [Ping timeout: 258 seconds]
[00:19:50] <toastydeath> i am not sure under what circumstance you'd be doing a manually controlled combined move
[00:19:55] <toastydeath> other than perhaps a rapid feed
[00:20:20] <toastydeath> but even in that circumstance it is usually only done in the situation where the cutter is free of obstruction in the movement plane

[00:43:33] <Valen> yeah
[00:43:36] <Tom_itx> no his
[00:43:44] <Valen> his i'm not so sure
[00:43:48] <Valen> its something thats for sure

[00:44:07] <Tom_itx> tell me about this ssd setting in ubuntu
[00:44:25] <Tom_itx> i don't have mine installed right now but can i see where to do it?
[00:44:26] <Valen> if your using ext4 you need to add discard to the options in mount
[00:44:38] <Tom_itx> where?
[00:44:40] <Jymmm> ewwwwww ext4, yuck

[00:44:56] <Tom_itx> just an innocent bystander
[00:45:03] <Valen> whats so bad about ext4?
[00:45:07] <Jymmm> innocent my ass
[00:45:17] <Tom_itx> uh huh
[00:45:21] * Valen doubts Jymmms ass is innocent
[00:45:30] * Tom_itx doesn't care about it

[00:46:29] <Jymmm> Valen: have you ever tried doing data recovery on an ext4 drive?
[00:46:48] <Tom_itx> it's called.. back it up before you need to
[00:47:07] <Valen> data recovery means you have already failed
[00:47:19] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: Yeah, say that in an electrical storm
[00:47:34] <Tom_itx> i keep drives on the shelf
[00:47:36] <Tom_itx> backed up
[00:48:00] <Jymmm> ok, whatever you say
[00:48:17] <Tom_itx> some of the stuff i have i could not ever get back if i had to
[00:48:29] <Tom_itx> so it's well backed
[00:48:45] <Tom_itx> i may loose some data but nothing too terribly critical
[00:49:50] <Jymmm> When you get to 4.2TB worth, let me know.
[00:50:10] <Tom_itx> yeah that's alot to manage
[00:50:12] <Valen> thats only 2 drives
[00:50:31] <Jymmm> Valen: (and climbing)
[00:50:38] <Tom_itx> big drives just die harder
[00:50:44] <Valen> and when one of the drives explodes anyway?
[00:51:18] * Tom_itx gives Jymmm a truckload of floppies
[00:51:24] <Jymmm> I'm working on building another NAS
[00:51:28] -!- DaViruz has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[00:51:28] <Valen> if its important you need to back it up
[00:51:36] <Tom_itx> i live by that
[00:51:43] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: 720KB ?
[00:51:48] * Valen hopes Jymmm has raid at least ;-P
[00:51:56] <Jymmm> Valen: ZFS
[00:51:57] <Tom_itx> no, you can drill a hole in em and reformat em
[00:52:08] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: xacto!!!
[00:52:16] <Tom_itx> soldering iron tip
[00:52:22] <Jymmm> that works =)
[00:52:38] * Tom_itx goes back to his innocence
[00:52:39] <Valen> 8 inch ibm disks 237kb ftw
[00:52:40] <Jymmm> all my floppies are backed up to image files now
[00:53:40] <Jymmm> Total: 7.25TB | Free: 3.22TB
[00:53:45] <Tom_itx> i finally ditched all (most) of my floppy installs of novell
[00:54:04] <Jymmm> Huh, you STILL using novell?
[00:54:04] <Tom_itx> funny you never even hear that word anymore
[00:54:09] <Tom_itx> :)
[00:54:10] <Valen> how much of that is movies though?

[00:55:20] <Valen> pr0n of course ;-P
[00:55:33] <Jymmm> Nah, the pr0n is only 430MB
[00:55:38] <Tom_itx> torrent stuff?
[00:55:41] <Valen> amature ;-P
[00:55:43] <Jymmm> oh hell no
[00:55:51] * Jymmm dont do torrent
[00:55:56] <Tom_itx> heh

[00:59:00] <Jymmm> how the hell I'll back that up I have NFC
[00:59:56] <Valen> are hdds still cheaper than tape?
[01:00:09] <Jymmm> 2TB $69 USD
[01:00:12] -!- robh__ has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[01:00:27] <Jymmm> 3TB $99
[01:00:28] <Valen> you may be able to get used tapes cheaply
[01:01:16] <Jymmm> Valen: cradek loves tape, I hate it
[01:01:37] <Valen> I only have a little bit of data i actually care about
[01:01:46] <Valen> and thats backed up onto my web server
[01:01:56] <Jymmm> Oh, I have a data rated fire safe
[01:02:51] <Jymmm> Valen: Have you seen the google servers?
[01:03:08] <Valen> in what sense?
[01:03:24] <Jymmm> Valen: Battery backup built in... http://news.cnet.com/i/bto/20090401/Google_data_centers-1.jpg
[01:03:31] <Valen> yeah saw that
[01:03:43] <Valen> i'm not entirley sure it'd be worth it really
[01:03:57] <Valen> it'd be cheaper to just provide high voltage DC
[01:04:13] <Jymmm> not on a per-server basis
[01:04:14] <Valen> UPS it at the rack/datacenter/whatever level
[01:04:24] <Jymmm> And VERY expensive too
[01:04:36] <Valen> it'd be cheaper than an assload of batteries
[01:04:56] <Jymmm> No, becasue you STILL need an ass load of batteries for the ups
[01:05:01] <Valen> basically all datacenters have battery backups anyway, they just run through giant UPSes
[01:05:07] <toastydeath> flywheels!
[01:05:08] <Valen> yes but you can get very large batteries
[01:05:14] <Valen> toastydeath: they use those too
[01:05:30] <Valen> a few large batteries is going to be cheaper than lots and lots of smaller ones
[01:05:40] <Valen> especially when you need to replace them every 18 months
[01:05:42] <Jymmm> Valen: And I've seen whole sections of DC's go down for hours because of that.
[01:05:56] <Valen> yes, inverters are bad
[01:06:13] <Valen> feeding straight off the battery wires around the place would be lots cheaper
[01:06:23] <Valen> also you don't need a battery charger everywhere
[01:06:35] <Valen> lots of battery chargers rather
[01:07:19] <Valen> also by providing DC to the power supply you need only a simple step down supply, it'd boost the efficiency of the PC by a good % and drop the cost of the supply
[01:08:07] <Valen> given that power is one of googles largest costs it seems prudent
[01:08:22] <Jymmm> I think you might want to read about google's power effeciancy ratings

[01:09:57] <Valen> they have even released papers saying they would like it if all the components in the PC ran off 12V without wasting power on not much used 5v/3.3v rails these days
[01:10:44] <Jymmm> I was JSUt lookign for the 5v rails here, I dont' see any... http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/bto/20090401/GoogleServerLarge.jpg
[01:11:23] <Valen> red wire going into the hdds
[01:14:14] <Jymmm> Yes, I know. But I don't see a SOURCE for it
[01:15:02] <Valen> I guess the pcb under the drives
[01:15:27] <Jymmm> http://www.pricedbelowmarket.com/assets/img/293866_1_600w.jpg
[01:15:28] <Valen> photos of the mbo seem to indicate only pata ports
[01:15:38] <Valen> ahh theres the sata
[01:15:39] <Jymmm> 6x SATA
[01:15:52] <Valen> photo i saw was from the other side
[01:15:57] <Jymmm> =)
[01:18:30] <Jymmm> Valen: I dont even see any 12V lines going to under the drives to even convert to 5V
[01:20:51] <Valen> i think the google one must do it on the motherboard
[01:22:11] <Valen> unless its just cheaper for them to get the sata plugs with all the wires in them
[01:22:45] <Jymmm> I can't see the striped wires coming our of the PS
[01:22:59] <Jymmm> hdd dont need that much amperage
[01:23:02] <Valen> no the cnet article says the psu only makes 12v
[01:23:22] <Jymmm> no idea
[01:23:25] <Valen> personally i like high voltage DC for distribution
[01:23:51] <Valen> everything is DC these days and the amount of work involved in AC > DC efficently is painfull
[01:24:25] <Jymmm> I want DC run thru the house, just like AC. I still ahven't figured out how to get different voltages
[01:24:36] <Jymmm> efficianly
[01:24:49] <Valen> run high(ish) voltage DC then make stepdowns
[01:24:59] <Valen> one fet + inductor and a cap if your feeling fancy
[01:25:10] <Jymmm> +48VDC
[01:25:23] <Valen> something like that
[01:25:31] <Jymmm> and how effeciant is your fet+cap?
[01:25:39] <Jymmm> think solar
[01:25:51] <Valen> 90+ should be easy
[01:26:41] <Jymmm> 10% is HUGE in solar terms
[01:26:54] -!- John_f_ has quit [Quit: Ex-Chat]
[01:26:58] <Valen> i said 90% is easy
[01:27:19] <Jymmm> not high enough damnit!
[01:27:22] <Jymmm> ;)
[01:27:33] <Valen> with some clever design and a few more components you should be able to hit 98% without going too nuts
[01:28:11] <Jymmm> I wonder what the loss is for most walworts?
[01:28:18] <Valen> pretty high
[01:28:31] <Valen> personally I wanted to run ~350Vdc
[01:28:43] <Jymmm> generatd how?
[01:28:48] <Valen> that way you can make AC with a simple h bridge
[01:29:19] <Valen> I figured you convert the entire electricity grid over to DC and save ~20% of the energy generated ;->
[01:30:06] <Jymmm> See, I have an alarm panel PS/Charger. I am thinking with of those Pico ATX PS
[01:30:48] <Jymmm> My NAS now is only drawing between 68-84 Watts with 4x 2TB hdd
[01:32:04] <Valen> thats quite a lot of power really
[01:32:19] <Valen> each drive should be what 6-8W?
[01:32:26] <Jymmm> BIG ASS FANs in it
[01:32:41] <Jymmm> nothing kills hdd's faster than heat
[01:32:46] <Valen> google says that hdd temp has little bearing on life
[01:32:53] <Jymmm> they lie
[01:33:11] <Valen> http://labs.google.com/papers/disk_failures.pdf
[01:33:18] <Jymmm> when you can't touch the hdd becasue it's too hot, will degrade the hdd
[01:33:27] <Valen> you shouldn't need that much air
[01:33:40] <Valen> a single 120mm fan at 5v should be enough
[01:33:49] <Jymmm> ralize they are in a cliamte controlled environment, I'm not.

[01:36:36] <Jymmm> See, googles PEAK hdd temp was 20c, mine is 43c currently
[01:37:24] <Valen> actually their peak is 50
[01:37:31] <Valen> thats peak average temp
[01:37:51] <Valen> fig 4
[01:38:20] <Valen> seems to indicate that up to around 45c is fine
[01:38:39] <Valen> with a sweet spot around36c
[01:39:00] <Jymmm> Mine AVG at 42c
[01:39:13] <Jymmm> Google AVG at 20c
[01:41:30] <Valen> your mis reading the graph
[01:42:00] <Valen> the bars show the number of drives that have that average that temperature
[01:42:03] tlab is now known as tlab-away
[01:42:27] <Valen> the dots show the failure rate of drives that average that temperature
[01:42:56] <Valen> so the afr (average failure rate) of a drive that averages 40C is ~1.8%

[11:50:57] <IG-garage> It would be less doubtful to keep commands at separate lines.
[11:51:11] <Tom_itx> i doubt it, M30 is end of program isn't it?
[11:53:39] <IG-garage> To end a program, program M2. To exchange pallet shuttles and then end a program, program M30. Both of these commands have the following effects. (http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html/gcode_main.html#sub:M0,-M1,-M2,)
[11:54:05] <Tom_itx> so you wouldn't end a program and put more code after it
[11:54:27] <Tom_itx> M30 program end, pallet shuttle, and reset
[11:54:39] <Tom_itx> M2 program end
[11:56:00] <Tom_itx> http://www.linuxcnc.org/handbook/RS274NGC_3/RS274NGC_33a.html#1002379
[11:58:16] <IG-garage> why m05 after m30 then?
[11:58:30] <Tom_itx> i didn't write it
[11:58:37] <Tom_itx> and wouldn't do that
[11:59:00] <Tom_itx> it may work (i'm not saying it will) but it's poor practice to end a program and add code after it

[12:14:01] <IG-garage> Can you give me any good links - e.g. to Youtube videos - to see how many types of machine are being used by people around the world, for what 5-axes mills are used (and I only can imagine 2.5D milling, I'm from a tiny town, not even from the provincial capital :)
[12:14:38] <archivist_emc> IG-garage, I have emc on a 5 axis
[12:15:16] <IG-garage> archivist_emc: and what other 2 axes are for?
[12:15:17] <psha[work]> IG-garage: theoreticaly you need only 4 axis (SO_3 group has 4 dimensions) but practicaly you need fifth one

[14:03:33] <IG-garage> tried this brush, 0.3 mm at an angle, 10k rpms angle grinder. everything depends on an angle at which you remove the paint from the surface. 90 degree or so - steel isn't really fine but it cleans quickly, almost parallel to the surface of steel, and it is almost as fine as needed, but it takes some time to remove the paint.
[14:05:38] <IG-garage> I have finally decided to put a piece of thick rubber (former conveyor belt) onto the concrete floor of the garage and clean them with angle grinder this way, not on the table.
[14:12:34] <JT-Shop> what are you cleaning?
[14:12:48] <IG-garage> paint from motorcycle gas tank
[14:14:40] <IG-garage> JT-Shop: used mini drill (with a pin with longitudinal cut in which 2 cm x 9cm stripe of sandpaper had been clamped) before, now i'm about to use angle grinder (Makita) for large flat surfaces
[14:15:03] <JT-Shop> have fun
[14:16:32] <IG-garage> heh, i had fun... At work, I polished steam pipes (400mm up to 900 mm in diameter) with usual grinding wheel and pneumatic grinder

[14:54:30] -!- psha[work] has quit [Quit: leaving]
[15:04:57] <IG-garage> rooks: i've decided to start to rebuild some stuff for free, doing a motorcycle these days. about 12 hours of work or so are spent, and 15 hours of work or so after it will be ready. Then plan to help repaint some stuff (make it look better, like maybe a 'snakecharmer' at ICON motorcycles)
[15:05:01] <IG-garage> rooks: and start to take orders and do some stuff for free. Most of the youth around is drinking beer, looking on the shiny stuff at TV, playing games and so forth
[15:05:54] <rooks> IG-garage, awesome! have you thought about making tumbleweed houses?
[15:06:40] <IG-garage> i just put the lacquer onto metal, don't deal with primer and colour, it's because of my general maximalism in ecological thingies
[15:07:02] <rooks> IG-garage, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Y15dxUZN3s
[15:07:31] <rooks> cool approach :)
[15:07:38] <IG-garage> rooks: I have two at two our gardens. Wood of one hous needs to be repainted to protect it, roof of another claims for some work
[15:07:49] <rooks> i never worked much with metal so i dont have opinion
[15:08:50] <rooks> IG-garage, check out that link about small homes, you might get interested in making them for living if you wanna put your creative energies somewhere :)
[15:10:19] <IG-garage> i also hadn't worked with it. Just have bought my first motorcycle with license for USD 150, and put about USD 70 to it. it's ready. Have put about USD 100 to self-made air compressor, small air brush, and mini drill and started to work in the garage
[15:12:12] <IG-garage> rooks: I live in apartment, we don't spend much of electricity, i also have a couple of gardens (20 x 30 meters with small houses at each one), garage (industrial district of the town) and ambar (in front yard of my block of flats - same garage but with narrow doors.)
[15:13:42] <rooks> doing stuff on your own is nice, however there is something called as effect of scale, meaning that cost of making stuff is smaller when you make many things than if you would make one, plus its not always feasible time-wise to "build a brewery to just have a drink of beer"
[15:15:06] <rooks> (im alcohol free vegan btw, that saying is a figure of speech, by no means i approve drinking beer :P )
[15:15:19] <IG-garage> rooks: yeah, i only do small hobby projects
[15:18:07] <IG-garage> There's a recession in what people do nowadays. There are not many skateboarders at the street, people think of what i do in the garage as of a waste of money - they don't know I haven't spent a ruble on it, only physical efforts
[15:19:49] <IG-garage> When I have told of the motorcycle I do to coworkers, they thought I buy shiny jewelries to it, and wanted to explain that life is somewhat complex, that I need to love TV programs and all this freaking around me.
[15:19:54] * anonimasu yawns
[15:20:27] <rooks> IG-garage, you might like this then http://pleasanthacking.com/2011/07/03/unsandboxing-yourself/ ...

[15:21:11] <IG-garage> rooks: no, i don't have any powerful air compressor for it, which price is about USD 250
[15:21:58] <IG-garage> oh, thought 'sanding' aka 'sanboxing' or so. :)
[15:22:15] <rooks> IG-garage, that link is not about sanding :P its about life, you might find it useful, since its against tv and figuring out whats needed in life... :)
[15:23:49] <IG-garage> well, i for example didn't spend money into fence around my garden. Instead, at one garden the neighbours have built the fence themselves :), at another one, there's grass, nettle and the stuff. Nettle is a good nutrition supplement if you didn't know.
[15:26:38] <rooks> i know this and that about nutrition, im vegan and i follow lots of advice from i.e. brendan brazier (he won 2 thriatlons while been vegan since 15yo) :)

[15:31:23] <rooks> IG-garage, at that link http://pleasanthacking.com/2011/07/03/unsandboxing-yourself/ there are lots of info on how to grow your own food in the backyard
[15:31:43] <rooks> IG-garage, no idea.. i dont amass quotes, i'd rather do stuff
[15:32:57] <IG-garage> rooks: we grow up potato and carrot, apples and some berries. do not using any fertilizers. the grass is the fertilizer by itself, even if it grows under the bush of berries

[15:34:26] <Loetmichel> re @ home
[15:35:30] <IG-garage> Cob houses are somewhat really attractive, rooks . I was so exited when I first time have fond they exist. At soviet union, there were a lot of cob houses at e.g. Ukraine
[15:36:30] <rooks> oh.. nice, i wasnt aware of that :) i thought it was mostly african thingy
[15:37:33] <IG-garage> no, not at all. There's some mountain town in Arizona, where it's snow. So, it almost totally consists of cob houses with thick walls

[17:32:41] <IG-garage> AC servo are generally more fast, what is their advantage over steppers?
[17:33:27] <Tom_itx> accuracy
[17:33:37] <Tom_itx> steppers generally don't have feedback
[17:34:49] <IG-garage> so, encoders are possible with AC servo motors, steppers do not understand if they have lost one step?
[17:34:58] <anonimasu> yes
[17:35:14] <anonimasu> but you can use steppers with encoders also.
[17:35:27] <IG-garage> and steppers if they run fast can start loosing steps and finally just stop?
[17:35:34] <anonimasu> but it only gives you more accurate positioning
[17:35:36] <IchGuckLive> or simply run a good driver
[17:35:45] <IG-garage> ok...
[17:36:06] <IchGuckLive> if you calculate the load no step will be lost

[17:46:12] <IG-garage> off course, i just thought of some small lathe and cnc mill in the garage
[17:46:15] <IchGuckLive> or got it from the ARMY

[17:47:07] <IchGuckLive> IG-garage: yes
[17:47:18] <IG-garage> we wanted to buy small *manual* lathe for USD 250, without the motor
[17:48:21] <IG-garage> lathe is needed rather manual, but mill might have a cnc
[17:48:51] <IG-garage> lathe is for various tightly-fit parts, there are no drawings for them
[17:48:53] <IchGuckLive> build the CNXC yourself on the manuell Harware
[17:49:06] <IG-garage> and mill is for metal/steel sheets, aluminum
[17:50:31] <IG-garage> i don't have anything, I would order all the stuff for such a conversion to CNC for money as well.
[17:50:36] <IchGuckLive> yes ofcause ther are many russion mashines look around you in the newspapers
[17:50:56] <IG-garage> yeah, will keep money for it.
[17:51:20] <IchGuckLive> for a shop setup you will need to do some stuff yourself
[17:51:36] <IG-garage> like what?
[17:51:59] <Tom_itx> if you don't know maybe you don't need a shop

[18:44:56] <Tom_itx> smt i would use narrow stuff
[18:45:02] <JT-Shop> desolder the caps
[18:45:09] <Tom_itx> but for your caps either of those would do
[18:45:12] <JT-Shop> acre of clear board to work with
[18:45:46] <Tom_itx> while you're at it, it's nice to have flux with it
[18:45:56] <Tom_itx> it has flux in it but i generally add a little
[18:46:02] <Tom_itx> kester 186
[18:46:05] <Tom_itx> is a flux pen
[18:46:09] <JT-Shop> ok
[18:46:12] <Tom_itx> will last a lifetime
[18:46:17] <JT-Shop> I have only paste flux
[18:47:28] <Tom_itx> sob, they don't show it anymore

[18:51:16] <Tom_itx> so much for RoHs
[18:51:26] <Tom_itx> fackers
[18:52:23] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop, you can use the paste too it's just not as handy
[18:52:37] <Tom_itx> the flux in the braid may be enough
[18:52:47] <Tom_itx> i add some if it burns off while i'm working
[18:53:41] <Tom_itx> you could always melt the solder and blast it with your air hose
[18:53:42] <Tom_itx> :)
[18:54:48] <JT-Shop> I have a solder sucker but it works only so so with larger size pins

[18:56:58] <Tom_itx> the problem with thru hole components is, even when you get the blob desoldered you still have to heat the board enough to melt both sides so the wire will pull out
[18:57:10] <Tom_itx> or you end up pulling the traces off
[18:57:22] <Tom_itx> use a nice hot iron
[18:57:43] <archivist_emc> heat the wire not the trace
[18:58:02] <Tom_itx> sometimes i've even used 2 held like chop sticks for caps etc so i can get both leads hot at once
[18:58:12] <Tom_itx> yes listen to archivist_emc
[18:58:21] <Tom_itx> or you'll melt the trace off the board
[18:58:57] <JT-Shop> I've heated the wire and pulled at the same time before to get things off
[18:59:10] <archivist_emc> we even had wide tips for the job, plenty of solder so ALL get molten at the same time
[18:59:10] <JT-Shop> sometimes going back and forth
[18:59:44] <Tom_itx> good point, you may want to leave the solder puddle until you get the wires out
[19:00:09] <Tom_itx> then wick it off
[19:00:24] <Tom_itx> postal run.. later
[19:00:27] <archivist_emc> or, solder sucker to remove as much as possible then heat wire and push from the side in contact with the hole side, takes care
[19:01:01] <archivist_emc> I hate wick rarely works well
[19:01:23] <Tom_itx> i use it on smt stuff
[19:01:30] <archivist_emc> needs to be new with good flux
[19:01:34] <Tom_itx> yup
[19:01:41] <Tom_itx> that's why i suggested the extra flux

[19:30:38] * anonimasu knows he's a pita in friday afternoon
[19:31:13] <PCW> You will need to setup the 8I20s current max current (needs windows unfortch)
[19:31:54] <andypugh> PCW: You can change the max current in EMC2
[19:32:13] <IG-garage> pcw why needs Windows? any special software which works with this 8I20 ?
[19:32:20] <PCW> Not with much safety
[19:33:14] <PCW> Actually I think the utility could be compiled to run under linux, just have not tried
[19:33:15] <andypugh> Yes, I should have said that there is an undocumented, little-tested procedure to change the max current using EMC2. :-)
[19:33:41] <PCW> Yes I forgot you have a back door
[19:34:32] <IG-garage> L84Supper: What is the price for e.g. http://www.aerotech.com/products/stages/pro115.html (just interesting, thinking of it, could probably find the prices myself)
[19:35:20] <PCW> anonimasu: actually forget what I said I thing the default max current setting is 7.5A which should be nice and safe for testing
[19:35:32] <PCW> I think
[19:35:37] <L84Supper> IG-garage: $3200 for 300mm w/o motors
[19:36:16] <IG-garage> omg. is it really relies on air or something? it has no linear bearings or what?
[19:36:41] <anonimasu> I think that it should be
[19:36:47] <anonimasu> my max is more then that anyway
[19:36:48] <L84Supper> IG-garage: air bearings or linear servo would be several times more
[19:37:04] <IG-garage> "air bearings"?
[19:37:09] <Tom_itx> yes
[19:37:30] <anonimasu> actually no, it's too high
[19:37:35] <anonimasu> continous stall current 6.4
[19:37:49] <anonimasu> err peak stall current 22A
[19:37:51] <anonimasu> :D
[19:37:53] <anonimasu> safe.
[19:38:21] <anonimasu> at 460v..
[19:38:28] <anonimasu> PCW: so, no need to change that
[19:38:39] <PCW> OK so you will need to set the max current to 22A (2200) eventually
[19:38:54] <anonimasu> maybe.
[19:39:02] <anonimasu> I have a small lathe :D
[19:39:12] <anonimasu> so, at stall they will push my bed ~
[19:39:13] * IG-garage makes an assumtipn that air bearings = magnets
[19:39:20] <anonimasu> no, they arent
[19:39:26] <anonimasu> they are different altogther
[19:39:41] <IG-garage> oh, sorry, http://www.newwayairbearings.com/
[19:39:55] <anonimasu> PCW: the steppers on the machine gave like 3N/m peak or something
[19:40:07] <anonimasu> the motors are rated at 13.5
[19:40:21] <PCW> OK
[19:40:56] <anonimasu> and my alternate motors that i intended to build with are at 2.5N/m peak
[19:41:07] <anonimasu> so, probably 7.5 will be more then enough
[19:43:39] <L84Supper> PCW: BMS60 http://www.aerotech.com/products/motors/bmsspecs.html you have an amplifier for this size don't you?

[22:42:37] <PCW> let me look Ive forgotten
[22:44:36] <PCW> Heres my comment in the source:
[22:44:38] <PCW> -- The way this mess works is that we have 4 byte wide FIFOs with duplicated data
[22:44:39] <PCW> -- but the readout point is shifted by one byte for each succeeding FIFO so we can read up to
[22:44:41] <PCW> -- 32 bits (4 bytes) at once. Wasteful, but SRL16s are cheap
[22:45:28] <PCW> and the pop size is address dependent
[22:46:15] <andypugh> I guess that you are not expecting people to asynchronously mix data lengths?
[22:47:59] <PCW> Only an issue for EMC, stream uses just read the FIFO count and do the most efficient thing
[22:48:45] <PCW> that is if there are 14 bytes do 4,4,4,2
[22:49:13] <andypugh> Ah, OK, so the incoming bytes get packed into the FIFO?
[22:49:48] <PCW> Yes sure, if you dont care about efficiency, just read bytes
[22:49:48] <andypugh> And the fifo count is in bytes, not FIFOs?
