[00:01:07] <mikegg> is speed directly proportional to voltage in a BLDC servo?
[00:01:10] <andypugh> In both cases you need to set up the bldc component to interpret the motor feedback and to output the phase/amplitude data in the required format.
[00:01:44] <mikegg> so if this thing is rated at 6000 rpm at 325 VDC, I can take the ratio at 35 vdc to find the max theoretical speed?
[00:02:41] <andypugh> mikegg: Probably. You need to be sure that the commutation is all correct too, and the phase-lead etc.
[00:03:36] <mikegg> hmm. what is phase lead?

[00:04:11] -!- theorbtwo has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[00:04:26] <andypugh> The angle between the motor rotor magnetic field and the magnetic field of the electrical coils.
[00:04:28] theorb is now known as theorbtwo
[00:05:38] <mikegg> so is that something I would measure?
[00:05:40] <andypugh> For maximum torque and efficiency you want the armature field to be 90 degrees in front of the permanent magnet field (that's 90 electrical degrees, so 45 physical degrees for a 4-pole motor)
[00:06:03] <mikegg> these are three pole
[00:06:08] <mikegg> I think
[00:06:47] <andypugh> 6 pole, three electrical cycles per physical rotation.
[00:07:15] <andypugh> (pole count is a daft way to describe motors, but its traditional)
[00:07:26] <andypugh> they will be three-phase.
[00:07:41] <mikegg> ahhh, that's what I meant to say :)
[00:07:48] -!- Valen has quit [Excess Flood]
[00:08:09] -!- Valen [Valen!~Valen@2001:44b8:3199:9100:21e:8cff:fe63:55df] has joined #emc
[00:10:08] <andypugh> the bldc component assumes 90 degrees. You can change it, but you would only do that if you were trying to squeeze the last bit of speed out of the motor.
[00:10:36] <andypugh> And you would need to use clever HAL to change the lead angle according to motor speed.
[00:11:31] -!- elmo40 [elmo40!~Elmo40@CPE0017ee09ce6d-CM001bd7a89c28.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #emc
[00:11:41] <andypugh> The 8i20 applies the angle itself, so needs to see rotor angle on its input pin. The 3pwmgen, however, needs the electrical angle from bldc
[00:13:33] <mikegg> suddenly this seems more complicated than I originally pictured it
[00:14:30] <andypugh> Yes, it came as a bit of a surprise to me when I started to code "bldc"
[00:14:45] <mikegg> heh
[00:15:08] <mikegg> is 3pwmgen available with the 7i43 firmware?
[00:15:16] <andypugh> Yes.
[00:15:29] <andypugh> But you need the _right_ 7i43 firmware.
[00:15:42] <mikegg> i'm running 2.5 pre now.. I don't see the 3pwmgen pins in hal
[00:15:44] <mikegg> ahhh
[00:16:04] <mikegg> i'm using SVST4_4S.BIT
[00:16:42] <andypugh> The correct one probably has 7i39 in the name.
[00:17:41] -!- mhaberler has quit [Quit: mhaberler]
[00:17:53] <jdhNC> what do you call the outer part of a brushed dc perm. magnet motor (round thingie that the magnets are in)
[00:18:42] <andypugh> the stator
[00:21:16] <jdhNC> that's what I thought, but we must be having a language issue.
[00:21:33] -!- cevad [cevad!~davec@host-174-45-229-40.bln-mt.client.bresnan.net] has joined #emc
[00:22:10] <jdhNC> "tube/can thing" seemed to get the idea across though :)
[00:23:27] <andypugh> mikegg: Which FPGA soze is your 7i43?
[00:23:43] <mikegg> small one I think
[00:23:44] <andypugh> (size)
[00:23:46] <mikegg> 200k
[00:24:10] <andypugh> In that case, ignore the file I just tried to send you, that's for the big one.
[00:25:06] <andypugh> I am not actually sure what the full set of Mesa firmwares contains at the moment, or how to get them.
[00:32:37] <andypugh> mikegg: sudo apt-get install hostmot2-firmware-7i43-2
[00:33:08] <andypugh> that will get you a TPEN4_5.BIT file which supports #pwmgens
[00:33:23] <andypugh> 3pwmgens, I mean.
[00:33:47] <mikegg> huh, already had that installed I guess
[00:34:31] <andypugh> check the pinout listing in dmesg after loading, it might not actually match the 7i43.
[00:34:49] <tom3p> could an 8254 core co-exist with hostmot2 in one of the mesa cards? http://preview.tinyurl.com/3sy4wzv
[00:36:48] <andypugh> Pete might know, I doubt anyone else will. (Well, Isssy might, but he is offline. He has installed Hostmot2 on non-Mesa boards)
[00:37:08] <andypugh> Anyway, goodnight all.

[13:12:53] <Loetmichel> the lamp costs in germany 9.95 eur
[13:13:13] <Loetmichel> and has a 3W LED with a fine Optic in front
[13:14:11] <IG-garage> i am clamping and drilling steels thingies with ultimate speed, one per 4 or 5 minutes.
[13:14:17] <Loetmichel> so it lights up the workspace in a very evenly distributed circle of light
[13:14:59] <IG-garage> yeah, these lights, they light up dark places, these lights.

[13:17:38] <Loetmichel> IG-garage_ i meant: the light of the lamp isnd a "hot spot" and gets gradually darker but a circle of light with sharp end, and inside the circle are no "clouds", every point is evenly lighted.
[13:17:59] <Loetmichel> very good for seeing little things and scratches
[13:19:31] <IG-garage> Loetmichel: yeah, i can imagine. I myself deal with drill bits 30 or 60 mm in diameter. They have an edge instead of center and I have to use cone in the spindle when I center it.

[16:11:59] <Loetmichel> ~2 pounds groundplate (China-casted "steel") and a 50cm gooseneck
[16:12:29] <Jymmm> does it seem bright?
[16:12:31] <Loetmichel> the head is about 5cm long and has 3,5cm diameter
[16:13:10] <Loetmichel> it IS bright, even to bright to look in the optics without getting purple stars wandering on your sight
[16:13:24] <Jymmm> does the head get hot too?
[16:13:46] <Loetmichel> but being "only" two watts led, iit is only bright if you are about 10cm to 30cm from your workpiece
[16:14:11] <Loetmichel> it gets hot, but easyly touchable
[16:14:25] <Jymmm> do you think it would be good for sewing machine lighting?
[16:14:27] <Loetmichel> i think somewhere in the 45°c ballpark
[16:14:49] <Loetmichel> i think so, if you find a way to mount it without getting in the way

[16:16:29] <Loetmichel> there is a longer version, but thats a lot more costly
[16:16:49] <Jymmm> name/link?
[16:18:14] <Jymmm> This? http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70169694

[16:19:15] <Loetmichel> exactly
[16:19:17] <Loetmichel> ;-)
[16:19:45] <Jymmm> Sadly, there's only a PRTION of it that's flexible, the main section is a fixed tube.
[16:19:49] <Jymmm> PORTION
[16:19:56] <Loetmichel> yes
[16:20:22] <Loetmichel> i think: if the gooseneck is much longer it will collapse under its own weight

[17:07:01] <Zencncbuild> somebody here with a 3 axis TB6560 board (china-ebay-thing) ?
[17:07:24] <jdhNC> I have one at home somewhere
[17:07:41] <Zencncbuild> i wonder if i can run a 24v psu on it when using nema17's
[17:07:45] <Zencncbuild> any ideas ?
[17:08:04] <jdhNC> dunno, I used 24, but I had 23's
[17:08:25] <jdhNC> My PSU would turn down to 18v or so, that would probably work
[17:08:52] <Zencncbuild> hmm maybe i can adjust mine too
[17:09:07] <Zencncbuild> havent seen a knob for it yet but.
[17:11:52] <jdhNC> I have 4 or 5, all with adjustment pots
[17:12:14] <jdhNC> you could probably scavenge a 12v for 17's from lots of places
[17:13:19] <Zencncbuild> yep :) hmm i probably have one

[20:17:01] <anonimasu> awallin: also, use of a algoritm like that requres it to be fed nurbs data and control points

[21:42:49] <archivist> get a tapping head
[21:43:33] <syyl> if you have a quill
[21:43:39] <archivist> it has gears and an auto reverse when you pull out
[21:43:42] <syyl> and can reverse the spindle
[21:43:48] <syyl> you dont need a tapping head
[21:44:22] <archivist> or use a herbert type which opens the jaws on reverse pull
[21:44:31] <skunkworks_> work of art... http://www.electronicsam.com/images/house/pizza.JPG
[21:44:38] <archivist> or mill the threads
[21:44:52] <JT-Shop> Danimal_garage: no just by myself, I did plan on lowering the rear sprocket by a couple of teeth as it struggles in 5th on hills
[21:45:12] <JT-Shop> woops I mean increasing it a few teeth
[21:45:43] <Danimal_garage> JT-Shop: just thinking it might be easier to sell it and buy a shaft drive bike with a few more cc's
[21:46:15] <andypugh> Shaft drive bikes have very few advantages, and certain disadvantags.
[21:46:16] <JT-Shop> then you have to find an offset rear axle...
[21:46:18] <Connor> No tapping head...
[21:46:21] <Connor> only way to do it?
[21:46:31] <syyl> no
[21:46:36] <JT-Shop> use a cordless
[21:46:46] <syyl> can you reverse the milling machines spindle rotation?
[21:46:51] <Connor> yes.
[21:46:51] <andypugh> Aye, I use my cordless drill to tap holes all the time.
[21:46:58] <syyl> then you have all you need
[21:47:03] <syyl> drill
[21:47:07] <syyl> change to a tap
[21:47:10] <syyl> low speed
[21:47:16] <Danimal_garage> not really John, just shorten it a little more on one side
[21:47:17] <Connor> how do you keep from stripping when it bottoms out?
[21:47:29] <syyl> ah, bottom hole?
[21:47:35] <archivist> Connor, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jbp8SJ9RxqI
[21:47:50] <syyl> make a mark with a sharpie on the tap
[21:48:05] <archivist> Connor, tapping heads have friction drive to avoid breakage
[21:48:16] <syyl> feed it in by hand, stop, reverse
[21:48:27] <syyl> works like a charm
[21:48:31] <syyl> no need for a tapping head
[21:48:40] <syyl> at work we do this on a large drill press
[21:48:55] <syyl> (there is the reverse via a foot-switch)
[21:49:08] <archivist> note how long it takes for the mill to stop, bottom is too late to be thinking must reverse
[21:49:11] <Danimal_garage> JT-Shop: an extra 150lbs, especially in rolling eight, is going to make a major impact on the ability to get up to highway speeds

[21:49:56] <JT-Shop> yea, I'm not expecting too much in the performance department
[21:49:56] <syyl> that will generate minimal overrun
[21:50:09] -!- isssy has quit [Client Quit]
[21:50:56] <andypugh> Extra weight doesn't really affect speed, just accelleration. Increased aero might have a more significant impact.
[21:50:58] <Connor> can't reverse without stop.
[21:51:03] <archivist> one of mine takes time to reverse, even with the vfd controlling it
[21:51:21] <andypugh> Oh, by the way, I just got back from an evening in London meeting up with Viesturs and his girlfriend.
[21:51:24] <syyl> our drill press just changes the phases of the motor
[21:51:43] <syyl> a bit lout
[21:51:48] <syyl> but instant-stop ;)
[21:51:55] <JT-Shop> it will affect speed on hills I assume but I'm thinking 50-60 mph might be top speed
[21:52:00] <syyl> (instant-reverse)
[21:52:16] <Danimal_garage> andypugh: with a 250cc bike, it will definitely make an impact on the ability to maintain highway speeds
[21:52:35] <archivist> I used to do that with a swiss lathe for tapping but the tap was hand held in a chuck so it could slip
[21:52:44] <andypugh> A 250 should manage 80, mine did and it was very tired.
[21:53:03] <JT-Shop> I don't think she will drive it more than a couple of miles on the highway to get to a side road to ride on
[21:53:08] <A2Sheds> maybe with an 8 speed transmission
[21:53:27] <andypugh> "highway speed" in the US is 55mph isn't it? You can do that on a 100cc.
[21:53:40] <JT-Shop> this one on flat ground will do 70 with no problem with me sitting up
[21:53:53] <JT-Shop> 75 in a lot of places now
[21:54:20] <A2Sheds> minimum is generally 45mph
[21:54:39] <A2Sheds> before they ticket for moving too slow
[21:55:28] <archivist> Connor, by the way use proper machine taps under power
