[11:42:11] <bpuk> Good afternoon
[11:44:27] <bpuk> I'm in the middle of converting a lathe over to emc2 through a 5i20 and have managed to get myself somewhat confused with making the optoisolation circuits - does anyone feel up to checking the circuits I'm using and doing a quick sanity check to see what I'm doing wrong?

[11:53:28] <KochBlau> hi yall, i do have a question
[11:53:38] <KochBlau> is there any way that i can test emc without having to install the rt kernel?
[11:53:52] <KochBlau> what i mean is: without the rtai kernel patch and so on?
[11:54:04] <KochBlau> not for milling, just to see it the stepper motors move when connected to my parport
[11:54:21] <KochBlau> i'm thinking of writing an application that directly talks to /dev/parport0, but thought maybe there's a emc way to do it?

[13:01:20] <jthornton> AFAIK you need the rt for anything other than the sim
[13:02:20] <jthornton> you can use HAL to run a stepper but you need RT kernel for it to run
[13:02:23] <jthornton> oh he is not even here

[13:15:44] <bpuk> just got back (keep nipping to the workshop)
[13:16:19] <jthornton> I converted my Hardinge CHNC using a 5i20
[13:16:54] <jthornton> http://gnipsel.com/shop/hardinge/hardinge.xhtml
[13:17:20] <jthornton> I'll convert my ACAD wiring diagrams to pdf after breakfast if it will help you out
[13:18:50] <bpuk> that'd be fantastic, I've got quite a lot of it working (steppers, limit switch inputs, tool changer encoder) - but I've hit a stumbling block with the main axis power relay
[13:20:15] <jthornton> how's that
[13:20:38] <jthornton> and I'll be having breakfast in a bit so I'll be gone for a short while
[13:20:47] <bpuk> heh, no worries
[13:21:02] <bpuk> or pretty much any output that's being run through an optoisolater - I'm driving them as per http://derp.co.uk/e877b
[13:22:07] <bpuk> and what's happening at the moment is that the opto isn't switching - so the relay activates when the computer turns on, and won't turn off when I toggle the output (P2-39)
[13:22:57] <jthornton> be back in a bit

[13:33:24] <pcw_home> bpuk please read the 5I20 manual section about power up state and driving OPTOs,
[13:33:25] <pcw_home> you must use active low outputs and open drain mode to drive OPTOs referred to 5V
[13:34:51] <bpuk> I spotted that bit earlier, W1 is to the right, supplying 3.3v as VCC
[13:39:44] <pcw_home> so OPTO+ anode to 3.3V and OPTO- to output pin?
[13:40:07] <bpuk> yes, with a 330R resister between anode and 3.3V
[13:40:57] <jthornton> pcw_home: yesterday you said "PCW> Yeah deltas (dp/dt in this case) should always be calculated (so you dont get big ones)" what do you mean by dp/dt?
[13:41:36] <pcw_home> Delta Position/Delta Time = velocity

[13:43:49] <jthornton> ok, I'm still struggling to understand what is giving the other guy the large error that I'm not getting when I run thc.comp
[13:45:36] <pcw_home> Looking at it it looks like the first cycle that the torch is off you would not adjust offset by a small number but rather but the current Z_in number
[13:46:43] <pcw_home> (because lastZ was set to 0), rather than the previous z_in
[13:47:11] <jthornton> ok, now I understand thanks
[13:47:18] <pcw_home> so if the commanded Z in was 0 there would be no error or jumo
[13:47:55] <jthornton> yep, and I bet mine is close to 0 when the torch goes off
[13:50:24] -!- theos has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[13:51:24] <pcw_home> Probably the forum guy (forgot his name) "hunting" problem coul be fixed by lowering the correction velocity
[13:51:26] <pcw_home> or perhaps even better, making the correction velocity proportion to the voltage error and mutiplying this by a gain term (P)

[14:09:20] <pcw_home> bpuk: sure you dont have a NPN Darlington, that might have the behavior you've seen
[14:10:21] <Loetmichel> re vom einkaufen
[14:12:46] <bpuk> it's definitely a TIP125 (PNP) after the opto - when I rewired to to use a ground reference the opto switched happily (just inverted)
[14:15:11] <pcw_home> Also that circuit would be marginal at 5V ( since the Darlington would have a 1.2V or so saturation voltage your relay would only get 3.8V)
[14:16:10] <pcw_home> ground reference not good as it will power up on
[14:17:49] <pcw_home> sure you have 3.3? I would use 5V and open drain mode
[14:18:34] <bpuk> I'm sure I've got 3.3V at the moment, I can switch over to 5V easily enough - just not sure how to set it all up for open drain mode
[14:18:42] <JT-Shop> pcw_home: I assume some kind of cap on the amount of correction would be good?
[14:31:30] <pcw_home> Yep
[14:34:26] <pcw_home> bpuk: at either voltage you should be able to put a voltmeter across pin49 power and an output pin.
[14:34:28] <pcw_home> This voltage should be 0 at startup an until you drive the output pin low (on)
[14:34:43] <pcw_home> and until
[14:36:30] <bpuk> hmm, I've checked from pin 49 to ground, and from output pin to ground - havent't checked across those two yet
[14:37:50] <pcw_home> You need to set all outputs to is_output and is_opendrain and also set invert_output (or output invert I forget which)
[14:38:32] <bpuk> but no circuit changes should be required (beyond moving W1 to 5V)? (I am doing the setup in pncconf so far, so that's quick enough to do)

[14:47:41] <jthornton> bpuk: this is my Hardinge conversion if it helps any http://gnipsel.com/shop/hardinge/hardinge.xhtml
[14:52:35] <bpuk> jthornton: I've bookmarked that one to have a dig through :)
[14:54:34] <bpuk> pcw_home: Right, set all outputs to open drain, inverted the outputs - reading 0V between pin 49 and pin 39 (the output I'm looking at) on powerup before firmware is loaded. reading 5v between those when the output is true, reading 1.82v between those when output is false (I hope I haven't just flipped those around in my head). Relay is on at poweron, does not switch off when switching the output
[14:55:07] -!- MuPie has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[14:59:44] <pcw_home> So looks like you did not invert the output or get open drain mode
[15:00:26] <Tom_itx> doesn't open drain require pullups?
[15:02:27] <pcw_home> No I guess you got the invert (so true is on)
[15:02:29] <pcw_home> Yes 5I20 has 3.3K pullups (although for current operated load like OPTOs the pullup is not stricktly required)
[15:02:55] -!- Valen has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[15:04:15] <pcw_home> bpuk so if you got 1.82v OPTO drive when off (~3.2V output) this sure sounds like open drain mode was not selected
[15:05:03] <bpuk> hmm, I'll go check the .hal file to double-check, should it show up as open drain in the dmesg outputs?
[15:07:41] <pcw_home> I think only the HAL file
[15:08:59] -!- capricorn_one [capricorn_one!~capricorn@zima.linwin.com] has joined #emc
[15:18:19] <bpuk> you were right, is_opendrain was not set (for some reason setting outputs to O Drain in pncconf does not save them in the hal file). It's now set, reading 0V/5V in either case. no change in relay behaviour

[15:25:12] <pcw_home> Well if you've got 0,5V across your OPTO thats about all the FPGA card can do

[15:29:32] <bpuk> hmm, it would. something very strange is going on, I think I'll go check the circuit again and hope that I've miswired something when I switched from ground reference to VCC reference
[15:29:59] <bpuk> Tom_itx: I have a transistor in front of it :) I've had the relay switching when referenced to ground - all the problems have started when I rewired to re-reference it
[15:30:33] <bpuk> pcw_home: thanks for your help, it really does look like I've made a stupid wiring error somewhere, time to grab the multimeter
[15:31:16] <pcw_home> maybe you have an unintended common across the isolation
[15:33:28] <anonimasu> tho the 5.5kw vfd and 2.2kw motor might be a bit too big.

[16:11:39] <helpemc> can anyone help me I have a problem with parallel port addresses ?
[16:12:14] <jthornton> just ask the question
[16:12:32] <helpemc> i was working fine and suddenly im getting a parallel port error during startup

[16:13:30] <helpemc> i have moschip 9865 pci card
[16:13:51] <helpemc> tried installing moschip drivers, and also tried re-installing ubuntu with no success
[16:14:06] <Tom_itx> you can't hardcode it to an address can you?
[16:14:29] <helpemc> i cant find the parallel port address with lspci -v
[16:14:42] <helpemc> and the old address isnt working, its giving me an error during emc startup

[19:53:11] <tom3p> using a 10000 nS thread, gets a 610uS sampling period on the LTC1286, so, i wont be able to see useful info during discharges of <1000uSecs.
[19:53:12] <tom3p> so its back to hdwr and away from hal execpt to read the hdwr.
[19:53:17] <tom3p> :(
[19:54:32] <anonimasu> tom3p: how about buffering stuff up and having hal poll a chunk at a time?
[19:57:02] <tom3p> well, i figure i can use hdwr simpler, its a software (hal) window comparator with ~640uSec capture time thats the problem now, and a simple hdwr window comparator (hi low inmiddle) should be readable every clock cycle
[19:57:28] <tom3p> that data could be buffered/averaged/trended as needs be without this damnable sampling time
[19:58:19] <tom3p> i think (could be wrong) that a 10uSec thread is damn fast on emc
[19:58:49] <tom3p> a 5uSec thread kills most of my machines and 3uSec kills the DM150
[19:59:45] <anonimasu> :/

[20:08:44] <andypugh> OK, so the problem is that the LTC chip simply can't talk fast enough
[20:08:46] <andypugh> ?
[20:09:42] <pcw_home> ~16 KHz max conversion rate
[20:10:36] <tom3p> yep, so i remove the LTC ( which converts analog to digital then fed to hal to decide if > < = some thresholds by a hal_window comp...)
[20:10:37] <tom3p> replace that with hdwr window comp and gain speed... good way to go?
[20:11:00] <andypugh> I am still fuzzy on what the problem is.
[20:12:16] <tom3p> the data seen by the LTC is way out of whack to the actual data ( tek scope vs halscope) this is due to 'aliasing', the sampling rate is way slower than the event
[20:13:00] <andypugh> So, EMC2 communications is fast enough, but the chip doesn't convert fast enough?
[20:13:21] <pcw_home> the LTC should be able to run at a say 300 uSec or so servo thread with 20 Usec per bit = 10 usec base thread (looks like 14 clocks needed)
[20:14:05] <tom3p> um no, i think both are too slow ( and 15 are seen in the screenshots AFTER the longish start CS signal ) and
[20:14:11] <pcw_home> or as fast as EMC can sample with hardware clock/sreg
[20:14:30] <pcw_home> what input bandwidth do you need?
[20:15:02] <tom3p> i agree it should be nearer 300 uSecs but 610 to 640 is whats seen on halscope and i dont get inbetween the comp and halscope, this is what happens with 10000nS thread
[20:15:48] <andypugh> If all you are doing with the data is a wcomp to bit-level data then I agree that it might as well be in hardware.
[20:16:34] <anonimasu> wouldnt it be alot better using a paralell chip?
[20:17:14] <tom3p> haha 'what input bandwidth do you need' sorry that question is past me... I think it needs to be faster because halscopes output is unrecognizeable until i slow the events down to 20 mS period
[20:17:44] <pcw_home> But to avoid aliasing you have to limit you input bandwidth (filter) to 1/2 your sample rate
[20:18:29] <pcw_home> Or if this is a peak value, sample it synchronously with your signal
[20:18:54] <pcw_home> what are you trying to measure?
[20:19:03] <tom3p> pcw_home, yes, i'm getting that, and think i need to get rid of sample rate and goto analog hdwr , its immediate
[20:19:10] <tom3p> and yes i need to trigger it
[20:19:21] <tom3p> and its a discharge voltage
[20:19:41] <tom3p> the average value ( after i get data to average)
[20:20:17] <pcw_home> So you need and external A-D thats triggered by an external source
[20:20:48] <pcw_home> and perhaps averages many samples before presenting this to EMC
[20:20:56] <tom3p> will be fed to op window comp to get over/below/between 2 thresholds and i simply change the current position by +1 unit, -2units or 0 units respectively
[20:21:02] <tom3p> sorry your way ahead of me
[20:21:17] <tom3p> i really dont need a digital value
[20:21:28] <tom3p> just the > < = is enuf
[20:22:05] <tom3p> it would be nice to use Hal for all, but not at the price of speed
[20:23:25] <anonimasu> we need a mesa board that can link to hal and do realtime stuff faster.
[20:23:32] <anonimasu> *hint*
[20:25:50] <tom3p> oh heres an idea, how about mesa hal-components? a libray of mesa-and mesa-window-compare, that we build with, and some app generates a bit file for us?
[20:25:50] <tom3p> maybe thats the same idea
[20:25:50] <pcw_home> If you just need a comparator, you could use an external comparator and a PWM gen to generate the reference voltage
[20:25:50] <tom3p> oh, the pwm for the threshold is good idea, thx!

[20:30:57] <anonimasu> it's readble on windows
[20:32:34] <tom3p> pcw_home, sounds great, i think i need to begin simpler, then hand a working design to an engineer and say 'make this in silicon' ;)

[20:33:37] <tom3p> i used google docs 'quick view', that worked (ffox namaroa )
[20:33:52] <anonimasu> isnt there a fast spi adc?
[20:34:41] <tom3p> andypugh, thx that works fine
[20:36:52] <tom3p> anonimasu, the LTC is rated pretty fast, (12kHz conversions ) but you cant get fast enuf clocks out of hal to take advantage of its speed. so back to hdwr
[20:37:17] <anonimasu> yeah, but if you could do spi, it might be faster..
[20:39:37] <tom3p> ok, i dont know what spi is then, the ltc is just S not PI ;)
[20:41:24] <anonimasu> hehe it's a serial interface of some kind popular for µc's
[20:42:15] <andypugh> If you have any Mesa hardware, we have drivers for SPI and serial UARTs. All a bit experimental, but they seem to work.
[20:42:52] <tom3p> the bit twiddler looks great its a full microprocessor built inside a 'anythin-io' board, and seems to exist in parallel with hostmot2
[20:43:27] <anonimasu> andypugh: yep, that was my idea it might be alot faster then manually clocking the adc

[21:11:35] <tom3p> ok thanks, that really good info to know

[21:12:40] <pcw_home> its better
[21:12:44] <andypugh> What i am saying is that if you use the Mesa SPI interface you can get a full 14 bits (or more) every base thread, store them in a 100-element buffer , and then do the maths on the buffer in the servo thread.

[22:20:56] <anonimasu> and in the end i spent the same armount of money to do what I needed to do + alot of time invested
[22:21:24] <anonimasu> i'd rather spend thoose money on good tools and have time left to work on other things
[22:21:48] <A2Sheds> there is no open application for multilayer design constrained PCB design, I'd be lost without cadence capture and allegro
[22:22:32] <anonimasu> i'd love to have solidworks at work but it's too expensive yet
[22:22:45] <anonimasu> and a good cam solution would be money better spent(one with nesting)
[22:22:51] <A2Sheds> unigraphics for mechanical, also run solidworks and proE
[22:22:52] <anonimasu> auto nesting like bobcad..
[22:23:08] * anonimasu is split what to choose
[22:23:13] <anonimasu> spurtcam/bobcad
[22:23:36] <anonimasu> one does auto nesting but only 4 axis and the other one does not but it had full 5 axis.
[22:23:41] <anonimasu> hsd..
[22:23:43] <anonimasu> has..
[22:24:28] <anonimasu> tho, given that I want 5 axis support(or 4 axis lathe)
[22:24:46] <anonimasu> so I can add live tooling once this lathe is done it's a heavy choice

[23:02:28] <Tom_itx> anonimasu, you putting a dial on it?
[23:02:33] <Tom_itx> for fine adjustment
[23:02:50] <anonimasu> no, i'll manufacture the blanks for proper size
[23:03:15] <anonimasu> take a µm off or two for adujstment, and swap inserts
[23:03:20] <Tom_itx> is that the tool holder as well?
[23:03:27] <anonimasu> i have a blank
[23:03:27] <Tom_itx> with retention knob in the end
[23:03:36] <anonimasu> it's just for illustration how it'll go
[23:03:38] <Tom_itx> holder blank?
[23:03:40] <anonimasu> yeah
[23:03:42] <Tom_itx> ok
[23:03:57] <Tom_itx> have you looked at em?
[23:04:15] <anonimasu> at other boring heads?
[23:04:19] <Tom_itx> the ones we used had a dial on them
[23:04:20] <Tom_itx> yes

[23:05:55] <anonimasu> making heads for this one and facing them off for whatever dimension i need is cheaper then buying a boring head
[23:06:07] <anonimasu> and inserts are realtively cheap :)
[23:06:08] <Tom_itx> what about wear?
[23:06:26] <toastydeath> you can make a dead cheap boring head that has no adjustability if that's what you need
[23:06:29] <Tom_itx> what about temp changes throughout the day?
[23:06:34] <toastydeath> just make it like a lathe boring bar
[23:06:38] <toastydeath> and tap the insert around
[23:06:45] <toastydeath> insert/hss tool
[23:06:55] <Tom_itx> other than that, it looks fine
[23:07:03] <toastydeath> also, just make your own boring head
[23:07:10] <toastydeath> put a captive screw in
[23:07:13] <toastydeath> with a fine pitch
[23:07:20] <Tom_itx> toastydeath, did you see his drawing?
[23:07:20] <toastydeath> lathe style toolholder on the end, done
[23:07:31] <anonimasu> I were thinking of that, but making this kind of thing adjustable is extra work, i have a real boring head
[23:07:45] <toastydeath> did not see drawing, just the picture of the tool blank
[23:07:50] <Tom_itx> http://ah.io23.net/ul/files/boring%20head.png
[23:08:02] <anonimasu> also, then I need guides and a slide for mouning the tool on
[23:08:18] <Tom_itx> yeah, it gets more complicated for sure
[23:08:18] <toastydeath> anonimasu, my shop used to make boring heads with a captive screw and they're dead easy to make
[23:08:34] <toastydeath> the screw and the slide don't have to be accurate at all
[23:08:39] <anonimasu> and also, that removes more material and i dont know about rigidity
[23:08:52] <Tom_itx> bak in a while

[23:15:07] <JT-Shop> I need a boring head for some strange reason
[23:15:17] * anonimasu redesigns
[23:20:09] <anonimasu> I know how to make it adjustable question is it worth it?
[23:20:35] <anonimasu> one hole is 50mm another one 65mm
[23:21:05] <anonimasu> and if it takes longer to make adjustable then to cut blanks for the different sizes
[23:21:28] <andypugh> anonimasu: You can buy adjustable tool holders for boring "bars", ie the ones used for line boring that are actually bars.
[23:21:48] <andypugh> (in fact, if your holes are not blind, line-boring might be better)
[23:22:14] <anonimasu> and subbing them out is not a option either..
[23:23:58] <andypugh> anonimasu: Page 40-ish here (though the images have not come out well) http://www.innovativetoolsales.com/Rigibore_catalog_US.pdf
[23:24:11] <toastydeath> anonimasu, I think it's worth it, personally
[23:24:19] <anonimasu> subbing them out?
[23:24:22] <andypugh> Though it looks like you can buy a tool a lot like what you are drawing, direct.
[23:24:24] <toastydeath> because then you have an honest to god tool, and if you make it the standard shank size
[23:24:42] <toastydeath> you can use any harbor freight boring bar you care to put in there
[23:24:50] <toastydeath> for both itty bitty holes and larger ones
[23:24:55] -!- MOGLI has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[23:25:03] <anonimasu> I have a boring head already but it cant do 200mm deep holes
[23:25:05] <anonimasu> or more
[23:25:15] <toastydeath> what shank is it
[23:25:21] <Danimal_garage> sweet, all 3 axii are hooked up and tuned, and all limits are set
[23:25:24] <toastydeath> can you just make an extension?
[23:25:36] <anonimasu> for this one like 45mm
[23:26:22] <Danimal_garage> all i have to do now is hook up a couple relays for the spindle and servo power supply and the machine is done
[23:26:23] <anonimasu> toastydeath: we are talking about making maybe 30 of these holes in year
[23:27:18] <toastydeath> i mean it sounds like you are decided
[23:27:43] <anonimasu> and i have the blank already since 2 years ago
[23:27:46] <toastydeath> so just make it
[23:28:03] <skunkworks> Danimal_garage: videos!!!
[23:29:10] <andypugh> anonimasu: Maybe design your boring bar around one of these adjustable cartridges?
[23:29:10] <andypugh> http://www.ebay.com/itm/KENNAMETAL-BORING-CARTRIDGE-E102AP-/200553420665
[23:29:25] <andypugh> (Or try a web search for "boring cartridge"
[23:32:18] <anonimasu> that would be neat.
