[13:43:48] * anonimasu yawns
[13:45:30] * Loetmichel is happy that the pain is gone... why didnt i get the 2 thomapyrin this morning instead of a few minutes ago? would have spared me 6 hours of pain in the right arm and the neck
[13:46:46] <Loetmichel> ($me is breeding something: yesterday 39°C fever, body aching all over, today 37,8°c and "only" the right side in pain... :-(
[13:46:47] <Jymmm> Asprin?
[13:47:08] <Loetmichel> no, thomapyrin, paracetamol+ coffein IIRC
[13:47:54] <Jymmm> It's showing asprin as a primary ingrediant
[13:48:42] <Loetmichel> is it?
[13:48:49] <Loetmichel> so i stand corrected
[13:48:51] <anonimasu> it's aspirin
[13:49:08] <Jymmm> analgesics with acetyl salicylic acid, paracetamol and caffeine
[13:49:25] <anonimasu> only paracetamol in that one tho
[13:49:28] <Loetmichel> Tablette von Thomapyrin Classic Schmerztabletten enthält:
[13:49:28] <Loetmichel> 250 mg Acetylsalicylsäure (Ph. Eur.)
[13:49:28] <Loetmichel> 200 mg Paracetamol
[13:49:28] <Loetmichel> 50 mg Coffein
[13:49:38] <Loetmichel> ah, we are both right ;)
[13:50:03] <Jymmm> Paracetamol (acetaminophen) == Tylenol
[13:50:15] <Loetmichel> may be
[13:50:24] <Jymmm> I've never heard of asprin AND tylenol being combined before.
[13:50:32] <anonimasu> me neither
[13:50:36] <Jymmm> tyloenol and codene, sure
[13:50:41] <Jymmm> (sp)
[13:50:43] <anonimasu> I've heard of codeine and random stuff opioids but never that
[13:50:55] <Loetmichel> works like a charm for body/muscle ace
[13:50:58] <Loetmichel> ache
[13:51:03] <Jymmm> Yeah, strange. Loetmichel be sure to eat food with that
[13:51:19] <Loetmichel> i did.
[13:51:23] <Loetmichel> but why?
[13:51:38] <anonimasu> because acetylsalicylic acid is not healthy for the stomach
[13:51:41] <Jymmm> will muck up your stoamche
[13:51:44] <Loetmichel> ah
[13:51:47] <Loetmichel> i know
[13:52:02] <Jymmm> anonimasu: the tylenol too
[13:52:36] <anonimasu> yeah, but not as rapidly
[13:52:40] <Loetmichel> but like my sergenant at the Navy said: my stomach HAS to be clad with armor, seeing what i eat ;-)
[13:52:42] <Jymmm> true
[13:53:21] * anonimasu installs build-deps
[13:53:30] <anonimasu> I wonder if this servo will explde.
[13:55:21] <anonimasu> it's entirely possible
[13:55:21] <anonimasu> :)
[13:56:51] * anonimasu looks at the 100uf 450V capcaitor for the power supply
[13:56:52] -!- rooks has quit [Quit: So long, and thanks for all the fish.]
[13:57:08] <Loetmichel> bah, that is so deprimating: i wanted do clean up my mess hre so i can put the CNC back from the car where it belongs. now the weekend is almost gone and i am still in no condition to work...
[13:57:38] <Loetmichel> bet: tomorrow morning when i have to go to work i am absolutely fine ...
[13:58:20] <Loetmichel> s/ deprimating/depressing
[13:59:22] <anonimasu> no discharge resistors :S
[14:01:18] <Loetmichel> anonimasu: i had a 1000W Stage halogen bulb for discharging the capacitors of SPSes in the Power Amplifiers
[14:02:23] <Loetmichel> and the amplifiers had about 16* 5800uF @ 163V ;-)
[14:03:05] <Loetmichel> <- was a repair technican fpr a stage rental company some time ago.
[14:04:51] <anonimasu> I shorted the 500v cap at the big mill when I were working with the vfd
[14:04:59] <anonimasu> it was cool :D
[14:05:27] <Loetmichel> loud bang?
[14:05:28] <Tom_itx> not so good for the cap
[14:05:28] <Loetmichel> ;-)
[14:05:41] <anonimasu> very loud
[14:05:51] <anonimasu> well, rather that then kill myself accidentally
[14:05:52] <Loetmichel> Tom_itx: if its noch flash cap: you are right
[14:06:02] <Loetmichel> -ch
[14:06:29] <Tom_itx> no reason for it to be in that application
[14:06:38] <Loetmichel> Tom_itx: right
[14:07:07] -!- factor has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[14:07:09] <anonimasu> yep
[14:07:18] <anonimasu> well, probably from once it wont die.
[14:07:22] <Tom_itx> next time use your tongue to discharge it
[14:07:24] <Loetmichel> i shortet this one @ 80V lately: http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=7489
[14:07:31] <Loetmichel> accidently
[14:07:38] <Jymmm> LICK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[14:08:00] <Loetmichel> BIG mang and the 4mm screwdriver was COMPLETELY gone!
[14:08:25] <anonimasu> I used a 15 mm one :)
[14:08:37] <anonimasu> it's only 10 in the place where the discharge took place
[14:10:13] <Loetmichel> the cap is for my next CNC
[14:10:49] <Loetmichel> i will use some E240 DC servos, so the PSU shoud be @ aout 80V 20A...
[14:11:08] <Loetmichel> i think it will be sufficient to get clean DC ;-)
[14:11:21] <Tom_itx> maybe better off with a few smaller ones
[14:11:39] <Loetmichel> why?
[14:11:44] <Tom_itx> better esr
[14:11:52] <Loetmichel> ESR should be faily low
[14:12:37] <Loetmichel> if i remember the datasheet correctly
[14:13:30] <Loetmichel> it is intended use is for the car "hifi" guys, to buffer their oversized amplifiers.

[14:28:52] <pcw_home> anonimasu: looks at the 100uf 450V capcaitor for the power supply
[14:28:54] <pcw_home> for 8I20 with 22A peak motor 100 uF is nowhere near enough (dVdT is 50V/mS with 5A primary draw and 100 uF)
[14:29:46] <anonimasu> pcw_home: you gave me the wrong firmware :S
[14:30:05] <pcw_home> How so?
[14:30:10] <anonimasu> one second
[14:30:20] <anonimasu> [158835.165354] hm2/hm2_7i43.0: board has FPGA '3s200tq144', but the firmware in hm2/7i43/ssst8_4b.bit is for FPGA '3s400tq144'
[14:30:52] <pcw_home> Oh I thought you had a 7I43-U
[14:31:14] <anonimasu> that's the number my mailà says that it was replaced with
[14:31:46] <anonimasu> it's got a usb port but the small fpga..
[14:31:58] <anonimasu> pcw_home: how big do you need to draw the full 22a?
[14:32:42] <pcw_home> You would not expect the primary to ever draw 22A (~7KW)
[14:33:16] <anonimasu> err, better phrase it like this, my transformer is at 6A
[14:33:32] <anonimasu> and I dont expect to pull max out of the motor
[14:33:34] <pcw_home> 6A at 220V?
[14:33:46] <anonimasu> yes
[14:34:50] <anonimasu> it was the biggest transformer avaiable without special ordering one
[14:34:57] <pcw_home> so thats ~1320w at the motor continuous
[14:35:31] <pcw_home> (for on motor) Thats really big for a servo
[14:35:49] <anonimasu> yeah, they are 1.9kw continous
[14:36:23] <pcw_home> But since they are rated for higher voltage you wont get their full power
[14:36:41] <anonimasu> http://ah.io23.net/ul/files/servos01.jpg
[14:37:06] <pcw_home> How big a machine?
[14:38:38] <anonimasu> http://www.wotol.com/images/thumbs/800x800/186706_49a1ca5b4461c4f6b2316a83859742d4.jpg
[14:39:13] <anonimasu> a denford easiturn 3 cnc
[14:39:22] <pcw_home> Anyway , your primary draw will depends on how much power out are really getting out of the motors I doubt that you can use more than 500 W total on that Lathe
[14:39:49] * anonimasu nods
[14:39:59] <pcw_home> (as long as the motors are not being a spindle)
[14:40:40] <anonimasu> no, they are only for using as axis motors
[14:41:41] <anonimasu> i bought 9 of them on a auction a while ago :)
[14:43:06] <pcw_home> Anyway a WAG value of capacitance is 1000-5000 uF depending on how far you push things
[14:43:08] <pcw_home> You may also want to lower the peak current so you dont break something
[14:43:47] <anonimasu> I see
[14:46:24] <pcw_home> What were the original servos?
[14:46:47] <anonimasu> nema 34 steppers
[14:48:11] <anonimasu> what should I do about the firmware?

[15:03:05] <IG-garage> heh, my second motorcycle has IKOV (a carburetor), so i was about to assemble it to my altogether with standard air filter, and use another carburetor and custom air filter for it. But couldn't unscrew one of four bolts. Steel to aluminum, hard to reach it, and as a result - problem.

[15:28:55] <archivist> tias
[15:29:58] <archivist> geo01005, ask the real question
[15:31:23] <geo01005> I just put a step dir servo on my lathe lead screw to replace my manual gear change box.
[15:32:00] <geo01005> I would like to be able to change gear ratios without changing the ini or hal file, (ie with a knob). I'm not sure the best way to do that,.
[15:32:26] <geo01005> archivist: what components do you use for hobbing etc.?
[15:32:47] <archivist> see http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode_main.html#G33,%20G33.1%20Spindle-Synchronized%20Motion
[15:33:50] <archivist> geo01005, I used to use a real hobbing machine (with gears), andypugh has done hobbing on his lathe
[15:34:23] <geo01005> ahh, I thought you had done some hobbing on your 5 axis.
[15:34:26] <archivist> I mill gears but most of that is just sensible gcode
[15:35:43] <archivist> one day I may/will mod a hobbing machine I have here at home, but its for tiny gears
[15:36:17] <geo01005> I have it working right now, but I have to change my gear ratio in the hal file, I have some thoughts about how to change in real time, perhaps the encoderratio comp.
[15:39:31] <archivist> use g33 and its live as needed
[15:40:16] -!- MOGLI has quit [Quit: Visitor from www.linuxcnc.org]
[15:40:30] <archivist> when Im milling a worm I cheat and use g1 and encode enough degrees for the A axis
[15:40:53] <archivist> so many ways :)
[15:42:25] <geo01005> that would work, but I'm trying to leave this a manual machine with a emc, or just hal, running as the gearbox. Perhaps some day I'll get around to doing a whole cnc conversion on it. but I need a quick change tool post before I do that.
[15:43:54] <archivist> qc or toolchanger is essential for a cnc lathe
[15:44:16] <geo01005> yes, otherwise I can do most of it faster manually.
[15:44:38] <archivist> I would tend to stick manual anyway for a lot of stuff

[21:57:09] <anonimasu> sometimes the multimeter inputs are too slow to see a step train, but you are usually able to measure with frequency instead then

[22:06:36] <toastydeath> it's like "what the fuck is this" for a second

[22:39:08] <Tom_itx> if it has frequency on it, test the pwm pin

[22:49:42] <jthornton> pull anything loose while doing that?

[22:50:58] <aggrav8d> no. I rechecked the connections. everything between the LPT wire to the servos.
[22:51:06] <aggrav8d> and the PC runs fine and the LPT plugs into that.

[22:51:39] <Tom_itx> might check for a broken wire somewhere
[22:52:19] -!- jbunch has quit [Client Quit]
[22:52:20] <aggrav8d> i have been. every driver has power, I see nothing broken, and my multimeter doesn't pick up on any breaks.

[22:54:47] <jthornton> do you have a breakout board?
[23:00:04] <aggrav8d> for the controller, yes.
[23:00:24] <aggrav8d> i've tried testing at each pin while jogging the machine. nothing.
[23:00:55] <aggrav8d> i don't know if it's my multimeter, the controller, the lpt, or me.
[23:01:11] <Tom_itx> double check the bios
[23:01:16] <Tom_itx> for the lpt port
[23:01:26] <jthornton> got any led's?
[23:01:31] <Tom_itx> may as well do the simple things first
[23:01:39] <jthornton> yea
[23:01:49] <Tom_itx> i suggested an led
[23:02:14] <jthornton> I missed that
[23:02:37] <Tom_itx> i had my hopes up today. we actually had a cloud overhead and heard some thunder
[23:02:41] <Tom_itx> all a hoax
[23:02:52] <jthornton> I'd bet it is a blown flux coupling
[23:02:59] <jthornton> we got some rain a while ago
[23:08:42] <aggrav8d> i checked the bios, it hasn't changed. i don't have any LEDs
[23:09:31] <Tom_itx> well use your meter then
[23:09:59] <Tom_itx> look for 'change'
[23:22:12] <aggrav8d> I don't see any.
[23:22:28] <aggrav8d> EMC notices when I tweak a limit switch.
[23:22:44] <Tom_itx> ini files still in tact?
[23:22:50] <Tom_itx> hal files..
[23:23:13] <Tom_itx> check dmesg for the heck of it
[23:24:24] <Tom_itx> check any fuses on the power supply
[23:24:59] <Tom_itx> these are all unlikely but if it were, you would beat yourself up later for not checking

[23:40:21] <aggrav8d> no fuses
[23:40:35] <aggrav8d> didnt see anything in dmesg
[23:40:46] <aggrav8d> power is good
[23:40:57] <aggrav8d> ini files appear fine
[23:40:58] <Tom_itx> are you using mesa boards?
[23:41:52] <Tom_itx> you should see something in dmesg after running emc if you are i would think
[23:43:19] <aggrav8d> i'm using something from buildyourcnc.com
[23:44:11] <aggrav8d> i've been reviewing http://buildyourcnc.com/CNCElectronicsandWiring.aspx to see if it gives me any hints.
