[00:00:51] <andypugh> 10A 80V?
[00:01:02] <Tom_itx> ok
[00:01:11] <andypugh> Maybe twice that current?
[00:01:41] <andypugh> Just a guess.
[00:01:50] <Tom_itx> that's all i'm asking for :)

[00:42:31] <jimlay> I just finished getting my stepper controller working and I'm trying to test EMC but it doesn't look like there are packages for Ubuntu 10.10 or 11.04.
[00:42:41] <nicko> " For fun, the Radium Girls painted their nails, teeth and faces with the deadly paint produced at the factory"\
[00:42:49] <nicko> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium_Girls
[00:43:13] <nicko> jimlay>> thats right
[00:43:19] <jimlay> Is this a reflection of many people building from source?
[00:46:34] <jimlay> What I'm really looking for is someone who can give me a good pointer towards my next steps. I have a 3 axis setup working using a DAQ card I had around and I C program I've written that is controlling them excellently but I can't really tell from what I've read on the EMC2 website if I should be using EMC2, or something else.
[00:46:54] -!-
capricorn_one has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[00:47:15] <jimlay> It looks like EMC2 is really designed to work with the EMC2 controller and parallel port and my system is using USB and a totally different driver system.
[00:47:28] <jimlay> Do people often write different stepper drivers for EMC2?
[00:51:55] <nicko> hmmm, I;m no expert - but what do you mean by 'stepper driver' ?
[00:52:13] <nicko> as in something outboard with higher step rates than the pport ?
[00:52:54] <jimlay> no as in totally different software.
[00:53:45] <nicko> hmmmm, no they dont do it often
[00:53:48] <jimlay> My controller uses my USB port and I have code I've written that does things like "step_x(500 steps/ 10ms/step)
[00:54:26] <nicko> you mean - non-gcode non cnc control type paradigms ?
[00:54:38] -!-
tom3p [tom3p!~tomp@74-93-88-241-Illinois.hfc.comcastbusiness.net] has joined #emc
[00:54:42] <jimlay> so I can easly controll the machine with code, but I don't really know what I need next.
[00:54:59] <jimlay> I want to use gcode.
[00:55:15] <nicko> then EMC2 is out of the box - er, for you !
[00:55:39] <jimlay> EMC2 does pretty much everything right? dxf -> gcode -> parallel port -> steppers.
[00:56:15] <jimlay> but can I make EMC2 work with my setup over my USB port?
[00:56:30] <nicko> not the dxf>gcode part as far as I know (not sure why no one else is chirping in, there are people here who develop the dang thing!)
[00:56:46] <jimlay> :) That's why I stopped by.
[00:56:59] <nicko> but I bet there a zillion ways to get that done easily - inside or outside of EMC2 with a little trick or two
[00:57:04] <jimlay> You know if I'm going to run into a lot of trouble if I try to build from source on my ubuntu 10.10 system?
[00:57:27] <jimlay> there are a zillion ways ... sort of an overwhelming number.
[00:57:30] <nicko> well, usually this board is where you'll get someone who can help - I can only help so far ...
[00:57:58] <jimlay> I figured the hard part was supposed to be getting the steppers wired up and controlled by my computer.
[00:58:02] <nicko> A lot of trouble - not sure, I just used the live CD - easy peezy
[00:58:32] <nicko> zillion ways - yes, EMC is so open plan it is overwhelming ... thats the part I got to a few weeks back
[00:58:57] <nicko> you have to cut your plans down into managable chunks or you'll get lost here
[00:59:00] <jimlay> I do a lot of linux development so a livecd would feel like a step backwards.
[00:59:06] <jimlay> :)
[00:59:17] <nicko> well, then you're ahead of me ;)
[00:59:35] <nicko> steppers are easy
[00:59:45] <jimlay> I guess I'll wait for someone more experienced to pipe up.
[00:59:51] <nicko> so your drives - you have drives ?
[00:59:56] <nicko> they take step/dir ?
[01:00:07] <jimlay> in software.
[01:00:28] <nicko> you developed them ?
[01:00:39] <jimlay> yeah.
[01:00:54] <nicko> ok, well - ha ha ha

[04:47:53] <factor> canid:Cool they work well
[04:48:31] <canid> i'm designing a 3 axis controller
[04:48:36] <factor> as am i
[04:48:54] <factor> been working on it for months, just got a test axis working
[04:49:33] <factor> hope to get the X axis running for test tomorrow .
[04:49:48] <factor> and maybe my tool mount closer to hooking up a tool
[04:50:02] <canid> i'm going to be interested to see how i can signal 3 steppers wtih full/half step, full current/idling, cw/ccw, etc in just 16 bits
[04:50:04] <canid> but we'll see
[04:50:20] <canid> i know some signals won't need to be independent for each motor
[04:50:40] <factor> I do it with just 4 bits
[04:50:53] <factor> plus two bits for speed control.
[04:51:47] <canid> sure, i could make the controller more complicated and stream serial commands
[04:52:10] <factor> 4 bits got to two pic 16F684 pic chips.
[04:52:25] <canid> but i was hoping to make it as simple as possible using one serial interface
[04:52:39] <factor> just using one parallel port.
[04:52:52] <canid> lpt or maybe using pata, if that's possible (i don't see how it wouldn't be)
[04:52:57] <factor> will make a usb connection when I get it all working
[04:53:21] <factor> printer ports are just far easy to work with to get the ball rolling
[04:53:44] <canid> being half-educated; i can't see why people don't make more use of PATA, since so many boards still have at least one controller for that interface
[04:53:55] <canid> even where the lpt has been abandoned
[04:54:08] <canid> so that's one of my quests

[05:00:06] <canid> unfortunately i ordered my ICs from china. the prices and shipping were both great, but i'm afraid to see how long $1.3 shipping from china will take
[05:01:01] <canid> and i'd have loved to be able to buy several of each, but i only went wtih 1, and some burly schottky diodes since i only had a couple bucks to spare

[15:25:13] <jtektool> so i could get money from management to make another
[15:25:36] <A2Sheds> is there something unique about the machine that will prevent its conversion?
[15:25:47] <jtektool> I dont know its just huge
[15:25:57] <jtektool> when im in the box its like whoa!
[15:26:13] <jtektool> theyre huge gian cnc drives
[15:26:27] <A2Sheds> time and $$

[15:28:13] <jtektool> I have a 900 and an 1100
[15:28:14] <skunkworks> Do you know what the drives are? what they take for control?
[15:28:33] <jtektool> yeah i guess thats what im asking is about the drives
[15:28:33] <archivist> jtektool, just ask skunkworks if huge was a problem :)
[15:29:15] <jtektool> im not on the site right now but will come back with details later i guess
[15:29:31] <skunkworks> Huge is not a problem... Although if you are set on using the printer port - you are pretty limited in the size of servo drives you can get (step/dir servo drives)
[15:30:07] <jtektool> no not set on parallel port at all
[15:30:19] <skunkworks> and imho a pretty crappy way of doing it. :) (step/dir)
[15:30:22] <jtektool> i just did that as my entry level project on a smaller knee mill
[15:30:25] <A2Sheds> PRO 1000AP?
[15:30:38] <A2Sheds> sorry, wrong model
[15:30:55] <jtektool> the parts were making on that knee mill are only 1" by 1"

[15:41:22] <A2Sheds> I don't see a problem with the controls, you'll just have to find servo amps you like for the spindle
[15:41:47] <A2Sheds> I see used equipment from Ohio all the time
[15:42:08] <jtektool> yeah theres an auction house up here every week
[15:42:33] <jtektool> thinking of making this a side business and retrofitting all those old machines are cheap here
[15:43:01] <A2Sheds> moving a 25,000Lb machine from Ohio to Chicago can cost as much as the used machine
[15:43:24] <jtektool> yeah but not from cleveland to sandusky
[15:43:31] <jtektool> (OHIO)
[15:43:39] <A2Sheds> upper or lower?
[15:44:07] <jtektool> well upper sandusky is actually south and i live on the lake in sandusky
[15:44:20] <jtektool> its a common misconception that lower sandusky is south
[15:44:43] <jtektool> it actually has its name because its on a hill
[15:44:49] <A2Sheds> working used CNC are selling for so low here that it doesn't make much sense to repair or retrofit

[15:47:45] <jtektool> retrofit kits are like $20 - 30 k
[15:48:01] <A2Sheds> true, but people don't want to pay for an upgraded cnc center
[15:48:19] <A2Sheds> it's like used cars, they just see age and model
[15:48:47] <jtektool> i guess i have no experience in that market but people are just giving us stuff
[15:49:05] <jtektool> i have 20+ robots someone just gave me
[15:49:14] <jtektool> (xyz) robots
[15:49:24] <jtektool> was thinking of making a 3d printer
[15:49:25] <A2Sheds> 10 year old Toyota with 200K miles with new engine and trans might only sell for a few hundred more
[15:50:12] <A2Sheds> Cartesian, what travels?
[15:50:35] <jtektool> one is like i guess 18 x 20
[15:50:36] <A2Sheds> that's what we build
[15:50:52] <jtektool> was thinking of retrofitting and repainting
[15:51:07] <A2Sheds> ball screw type? ?
[15:51:08] <jtektool> they have good steppers in them (oriental motors)
[15:51:45] <jtektool> no ones i have travel on wire wound and a greased slide
[15:51:57] <A2Sheds> add some reprap extruders and you're all set
[15:52:12] <jtektool> we wre also thinkings of making a cnc soldering machine
[15:52:30] <jtektool> with so many here therez lots of posible projects
[15:52:50] <jtektool> also have access to some old epson robots
[15:53:03] <A2Sheds> nice toys
[15:53:10] <jtektool> in this economy hoping to find a niche
[15:53:29] <jtektool> people just throw them out when controls go out
[15:54:00] <jtektool> so we told them we would pich them up before the trash man
[15:54:27] <A2Sheds> the DIY 3dp people will like those
[15:54:46] <A2Sheds> #reprap
[15:56:25] <A2Sheds> there a guy build a large 3 axis extruder for shredded milk bottles, he's going to print a boat for a contest where the boat has to be made entirely out of old plastic milk bottles
[15:57:05] <A2Sheds> the rules don't say you can't shred and melt the bottles, but i have a feeling the rules will be changed for next years contest

[17:56:28] <jtektool> *expect
[17:57:27] <jtektool> pcw...whats the mhz on a mesa card ie max ipm?
[17:57:58] <cradek> do you mean step generation or encoder reading or what?
[17:58:16] <jtektool> step gen
[17:58:38] <cradek> not sure of the number, but it's faster than your drives can accept pulses
[17:59:03] <jtektool> is it like the 33.3 mhz of pci or less
[17:59:50] <jtektool> best mesa card with least problems
[17:59:52] <jtektool> ?
[17:59:59] <jtektool> 5i20 5i23 etc
[18:00:01] <cradek> 5i2*
[18:00:13] <Tom_itx> or parport 7I43
[18:00:33] <cradek> the parport cards are fine too, but your computer is far more likely to have bogus parport than bogus pci slots
[18:00:44] <Tom_itx> true
[18:02:17] <jtektool> any diffs between a parport 7i43 and just pport BOB
[18:02:17] <jtektool> as far as i know i can only get about 50khz out of pport
[18:02:17] <jtektool> with my setup
[18:02:34] <cradek> yes they're entirely 100% different
[18:02:52] <jtektool> my wlan just quit (overheated) did i miss a coment

[18:04:00] <skunkworks> think of a bob as just a buffer for the printer port. The 7i43 is a device that does the pwm/step generation - encoder counting. (so the computer doesn't have to)
[18:04:16] <jtektool> oh so its faster
[18:04:38] <jtektool> and yeah the bob has buffers thats about it
[18:05:24] <skunkworks> (as does the 5i2*
[18:06:05] <jtektool> im using moschp parport cards that seem much better than the onbord parport
[18:06:23] <jtektool> that was my "proof of concept" project
[18:06:42] <jtektool> but as i live in the rust belt therez no lack of projects
[18:07:05] <jtektool> people are practically giving away old mills
[18:07:36] <Tom_itx> where would the 'rust belt' be?
[18:07:41] <jtektool> ohio
[18:07:47] <Tom_itx> oh so true
[18:07:49] <jtektool> very near cleveland
[18:08:13] <cradek> rust belt emanates from HGR
[18:08:25] <jtektool> our customers run from detroit to cleveland
[18:08:26] <Tom_itx> are they usually worn out?
[18:08:53] <jtektool> some have worn ballscrews some dont usually the sticking factor is the controls
[18:09:05] <jtektool> which is where emc falls into place
[18:09:37] <cradek> fwiw, if you're worried about stepgen while retrofitting commercial machines you're likely doing it wrong
[18:10:43] <jtektool> um well im going to do pid loops on bigger machines
[18:11:00] <cradek> ok, just saying
[18:11:06] <jtektool> i just wanted to learn all the ins and outs so started at parport
[18:11:18] <cradek> gotcha
[18:11:21] <jtektool> and step/dir drives
[18:12:03] <jtektool> weird ive been messing with hal in gen2 for a while and this has put it all together with me
[18:12:06] <jtektool> in my head
[18:12:52] <jtektool> but i dont understand in linux kernel theyre mving away from hal towards udev...will this impact emc2

[19:20:29] <mhaberler> ah, italiano?
[19:20:34] <KimK> No, Google
[19:20:53] <mhaberler> I *knew* *you* arent Italian ;-)
[19:20:54] <cradek> he said earlier he is running "emc2-70f223754b2d267f121daf6f8130aa65b519308c 2.5.0 branch"
[19:21:13] <cradek> which clearly doesn't have any recent fix, since it's from march
[19:21:38] <mhaberler> the suspect wont confess
[19:21:50] <cradek> well he already answered the question...
[19:21:56] <mhaberler> sortof
[19:22:02] <cradek> he is trying the master buildbot version now, I think
[19:22:25] <mhaberler> motioncontrol: I guess I can read Italian if thats easier
[19:22:36] <KimK> Sure, go for it
[19:22:43] <mhaberler> only 100km from here ;-)
[19:22:45] <motioncontrol> mhaberler, ok grazie
[19:23:04] <motioncontrol> posso scrivere in italiano
[19:23:08] <mhaberler> si
[19:23:13] <motioncontrol> bene
[19:24:04] <motioncontrol> io ho provato la versione master di marzo-2011 , ma ha il problema che non esegue g40-g80-g90 quando comando abort

[19:25:52] <motioncontrol> ho provato la versione emc2-449512fd53c53a79af80d47281c103cec06d9063
[19:26:09] <motioncontrol> essa e' vecchia di 40 ore fa
[19:26:57] <motioncontrol> in questa versione funziona bene la on_abort, infatti esegue correttamente g40-g80-g90
[19:26:59] <motioncontrol> ma
[19:27:08] <motioncontrol> ha altri problem:
[19:27:34] <mhaberler> si, pero questa versione è di tre mesi
[19:28:00] <mhaberler> Non ha senso di sperimentare

[19:28:43] <mhaberler> non si tratta di versioni supportate, e non c'è sviluppo attivo
[19:29:14] <motioncontrol> scusami allora il problema è che non ho capito dove scaricare l'utima versione debaggata, mi aiuti. io su git ho scaricato snapshot di 40 ore fa
[19:29:41] <mhaberler> Vi raccomando di installare il 'maestro' la versione: ~

[19:33:38] <mhaberler> se vuoi tradurre dal codice sorgente, allora si dovrà ottenere la versione 'maestro' come descritto qui: #

[20:26:29] <mhaberler> si, un poco
[20:27:25] <motioncontrol> ok grazie
[20:27:51] <motioncontrol> ho scaricato da git ed ho compilato la versione scaricata come mi spegavi
[20:28:11] <motioncontrol> ho aggiornato il file lathe.ini
[20:28:17] <motioncontrol> per usare iov2
[20:28:25] <motioncontrol> comando m6 t1
[20:29:01] <motioncontrol> viene lanciata la sub tdemo e mi chiede di settare mot.dig-in-00
[20:29:10] <motioncontrol> imposto esso a true

[22:10:07] <elmo40> ewww. iron?
[22:10:26] <JT-Shop> black iron
[22:10:29] <elmo40> better have a filter before your tools. rust+sucks=BAD
[22:10:36] <elmo40> people never learn...
[22:10:37] <JT-Shop> air is dry
[22:10:44] <elmo40> sure it is.
[22:10:49] <JT-Shop> < 50% humidity in here
[22:10:50] <elmo40> where is the dryer?
[22:10:53] <elmo40> lol
[22:10:55] <elmo40> that means nothing
[22:11:03] <JT-Shop> dryer is right after air tank
[22:11:06] <elmo40> what happens to a gas when it changes pressure?
[22:11:17] <JT-Shop> the pressure changes
[22:11:32] <JT-Shop> I know where you going with this...
[22:11:56] <elmo40> when droping pressure it absorbs heat(hence feels cool) and absorbs moisture
[22:12:11] <elmo40> should use plastic PEX for air lines.
[22:12:35] <elmo40> plus... the outside will 'sweat' and rust ;)

[22:34:47] <JT-Shop> the real question arrives
[22:35:12] <nicko> and since we have a PHd aboard - what then is the disctinction between a doctorate and a masters or bachelors
[22:35:43] <A2Sheds> more loans to pay off :)
[22:35:46] <awallin> if you really want to forget real work and only manage people/money then get the highest degree, they'll make you manager in no time :)
[22:36:02] <nicko> JT-Shop>> I will *always* ask questiosn in such a fashion ... I think on things and see a progression of questions, and ask them in that way
[22:36:18] <nicko> if no one here had a masters then it'd be no use me asking ...
[22:36:37] <JT-Shop> you didn't ask if anyone had a masters...
[22:36:54] <nicko> so the 'real' question - was contingent ... NOT a foregone conclusion
[22:37:12] <JT-Shop> and we are all having fun tonight
[22:37:20] <nicko> INTP personality types have fun ?!
[22:37:44] <JT-Shop> if you say so
[22:38:06] <A2Sheds> does the TP stand for toilet paper?
[22:38:07] <nicko> A2sheds>> I am in a peculiar position in that %66 of my masters fees will be covered by an assistance grant
[22:38:35] <nicko> and PHd's as far as I can ascertain are 'free' in this part of the world
[22:38:37] <JT-Shop> Sweet!
[22:38:52] <nicko> YUP - real sweet
[22:38:58] <A2Sheds> go for the MBA then
[22:39:06] <elmo40> nicko: your method to deduce what people have then ask more questions is rather time consuming. shoot from the hip!

[22:40:42] <elmo40> nicko: what part of the world are you in? i wanna move
[22:40:45] <awallin> it all depends on so much. if you stick around at uni/school, make sure you are reasonably good at it and you like it. no point whatsoever in getting a higher degree while hating every minute or being last in class

[22:43:36] <nicko> they want 10k over 4 years for a BE
[22:44:25] <nicko> but in Australia, they'll give me $5000 a year to pay off $7.5k fees to do a Masters

[22:44:49] <nicko> in 3 years
[22:44:52] <A2Sheds> 2 years here of community college is ~$5K
[22:45:04] <nicko> here = $US ?
[22:45:11] <A2Sheds> yes US
[22:45:29] <JT-Shop> and it will get higher with the Chinese hording REM
[22:45:35] <nicko> with the exchange as it is those numbers I gave you are pretty much $US too
[22:46:05] <A2Sheds> NZ $ = .82 $ USD today
[22:46:37] <nicko> so, ha ha - another indirect question >> now that I've asked my 'real' question, is anyone going to answer it ?
[22:46:55] <nicko> Aus dollars ...
[22:47:12] <A2Sheds> you know where we live and what we drink, what else is important?
[22:47:34] <JT-Shop> it is so local no one can really answer the question
[22:47:41] <nicko> 0.95
[22:47:51] <nicko> they could answer it locally ?
[22:47:54] <JT-Shop> for example I don't have a BE but I make more money that a BE
[22:48:01] <JT-Shop> here
[22:48:31] <JT-Shop> depends on the market for engineers at your target location
[22:49:37] * JT-Shop starts the pizza now
[22:49:42] <A2Sheds> the Australian economy is taking a dive now
[22:49:44] <elmo40> i too make more money then a BE... but who doesnt? :P

[23:02:08] <nicko> but we all pitch in on whatever needs doing - I was on the rubgy world cup at the time
[23:02:21] <A2Sheds> they used to have educational shows for kids in the US, now it's mostly Jersey Shore
[23:03:40] <nicko> I remember the sequences on Seasame St where they filmed production lines

[23:04:21] <Connor> Hey Guys, I'm trying to tram my head to my column.. (Got my DTI in today).. I'm noticing that when I tighten up the Lock screws on the Z axis.. it throws it out a few .0001's
[23:04:23] <Connor> Is that normal ?
[23:04:40] <nicko> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-2-1_Contact
[23:04:42] <JT-Shop> can be
[23:04:57] <JT-Shop> did you see the link the other day on tramming your head?
[23:05:13] <nicko> its certainly 'normal' on my chinese ZX45 clone
[23:05:14] <Connor> Maybe.. I've watched some of Hoss's videos on it.
[23:05:23] <A2Sheds> if they filmed those shows today, it would be of production lines in China
[23:05:43] <Connor> Okay, so, what's the practice, not to tighten up the locks and tram without them ?
[23:06:12] <JT-Shop> you have to kinda sneak up on it so to speak
[23:06:26] <A2Sheds> or scenes with brokers and bankers throwing darts or picking possible trades out of a hat
[23:06:47] <JT-Shop> it takes some practice to learn how your machine reacts
[23:07:21] <Connor> Yea.. I'm a very meticulous person when it comes to stuff.. and this is driving me nuts..
[23:07:50] <JT-Shop> I'm the same way, but they don't call it that around here
[23:07:54] <Connor> So, I have a 1/2 rod in my collet.. I have the DTI setup using a mag base attached to the column.
[23:08:27] <Connor> hehe.. let me guess, Anal Retentive ?
[23:08:32] <JT-Shop> LOL
[23:09:23] <JT-Shop> does your head move like a BP knee mill?
[23:09:33] <Connor> It's a G0704
[23:09:37] <nicko> driving your nuts is driving you nuts ?
[23:10:09] <Connor> nicko: Ha!

[23:10:38] <JT-Shop> what is adjustable on that one?
[23:11:04] <JT-Shop> I'm looking at the photo but don't see much
[23:11:07] <Connor> The head can rotate.. the column is bolted on to the base, so, you can adjust the column to the table.
[23:11:18] <JT-Shop> ah ok
[23:11:30] <Connor> so, First process, is to tram the head to the column.
[23:11:46] <JT-Shop> so you have two possible areas to be out of square
[23:11:47] <Connor> then, tram the head/column combo to the table.
[23:12:30] <Connor> Now, I haven't done ANYTHING to the column/table.. It's still factory set.. But, I have rotated the head and removed it and put it back on.
[23:12:42] <Connor> But, of course, factory set doesn't mean crap.
[23:12:48] <JT-Shop> yep

[23:13:56] <JT-Shop> so you put the magnet base on the column and Z up and down till your parallel?

[23:14:10] <Connor> Yes, that's what I'm doing now.
[23:14:50] <Connor> and I tightened up the lock, and it changed the reading.
[23:15:31] <JT-Shop> I find on my BP that there is a sweet spot on the fixing bolt where I could still move it but it was solid enough that the DTI didn't change when I locked it up solid
[23:15:59] <Connor> re-watching this video:
http://www.youtube.com/hossmachine#p/search/0/RlSa5bu2aK8
[23:16:13] <JT-Shop> you say you had the head off so no crap in there and surfaces look good
[23:16:44] <JT-Shop> nice machine specific for your G0704
[23:16:45] <Connor> yea. I drilled to more holes to have a 3-hole bolt pattern to the Z Saddle.
[23:16:51] <Connor> Yuo.
[23:16:54] <Connor> er Yup

[23:19:26] * JT-Shop hums the final jeopardy song while the video goes through China to get to me
[23:20:18] <JT-Shop> did you spin the rod to make sure it is straight?
[23:21:09] <Connor> yea, I think it's off a bit... I have a nice 1/2" rod from a scanner I'm going to have to cut down to use for my tramming rod.. it's perfectly straight.
[23:21:09] <JT-Shop> did you add the tramming aid?
[23:21:22] <Connor> no. I need some steel bar stock to make those.
[23:21:36] <Connor> so, I have to use the bump and tap method. :)
[23:22:51] <JT-Shop> it sounds like a touchy feely thing... hit no what too hard darn hit other side oh too hard crap
[23:23:24] <Connor> yea.
[23:24:10] <JT-Shop> make the tramming aids from anything handy... on my BP I use the jacking worm to move as I can predict the amount of movement
[23:24:29] <Connor> A what?
[23:25:24] <Connor> and I found a scratch in my table from the damn vise.. Must of had something on the table when I placed the vise.
[23:25:38] <JT-Shop> what do you have around
[23:25:49] <Connor> to make the tramming aid?
[23:25:55] <JT-Shop> yea
[23:26:06] <Connor> I've got some 3/8" thick alumn stock.
[23:26:16] <JT-Shop> that would work
[23:26:50] <JT-Shop> it would be so much easier to loosen the left bolt 1/16 and tighten the right one 1/16 you know
[23:26:59] <Connor> Oh yea. I know.
[23:27:32] <Connor> he also modded the column by adding set screws in it..

[23:27:35] <JT-Shop> all of the automation machines I design I put "tramming aids" on
[23:27:36] <Connor> look at part 2
[23:27:51] <JT-Shop> LOL I'm still downloading part 1
[23:28:37] <Connor> o wait.. it's Part 2 version B is the one where he has drilled 1/4=28 holes in the column.

[23:29:41] <Connor> I guess I can throw my vise back on and mill down the tramming aids.
[23:30:13] <JT-Shop> yea, good idea... make it as easy as possible
[23:30:17] <Connor> looks like the set screws are parallel to the flange column.
[23:30:25] <Connor> which has a bit over a tapper.
[23:30:45] <Connor> Why are you having to download the video instead of streaming it ?
[23:31:03] <JT-Shop> I live in Swamp East Missouri!
[23:31:41] <JT-Shop> I can walk out on my deck and take a leak and no one will see... out in the woods you know
[23:31:57] <Connor> yea.
[23:33:32] <Tom_itx> mosquitos as big as B52's?
[23:33:41] <JT-Shop> make sure your indicator tip is on the X side of the rod as close as possible so your not seeing other issure
[23:33:47] <JT-Shop> issues
[23:34:04] <JT-Shop> only on the flat lands up here we have Bob Cats
[23:34:07] <Connor> Yea, parallel to the X.
[23:34:25] <Connor> otherwise, Y being out of tram could cause issues.
[23:35:58] <Connor> okay, Done watching both video's.
[23:36:04] <Tom_itx> link?
[23:36:04] <JT-Shop> keep in the back of your head that how precise do you need the mill to be so you don't spend a lifetime trying to indicate better than possible
[23:36:33] <Tom_itx> nm ^^
[23:36:46] <Connor> yea, I'ts probably good nuff now for what I'm doing.. I would just need to tram the vise and be done with it.
[23:37:00] <Connor> the head looks pretty close.
[23:37:06] <JT-Shop> looks like basic tramming info in the vid but the mods seem to be nice
[23:37:11] <Tom_itx> i wish there was a way to save those videos
[23:37:29] <Connor> you mean youtube videos?
[23:37:33] <Tom_itx> yes
[23:37:38] <Tom_itx> well there probably is..
[23:37:42] <Connor> They're apps out their that can rip'm
[23:37:45] <Tom_itx> i'm just not savvy
[23:38:13] <JT-Shop> is it CNC or did the guy mod his to be CNC?

[23:38:27] <Connor> He modded it.
[23:38:37] <Connor> That's what I'm doing.. making the parts to mod mine for CNC.
[23:38:39] <A2Sheds> you can download plugins for your browser to grab youtube video
[23:38:48] <JT-Shop> cool
[23:39:07] <Connor> stepper mounts don't need to be all that exact.
[23:39:52] <Tom_itx> ok i picked up another transformer so i should be set in that department
[23:39:53] <JT-Shop> you need some adjustment so you can tension the belts
[23:40:01] <Tom_itx> 3x 6A x 48v
[23:40:33] <JT-Shop> cool
[23:41:02] <A2Sheds> Tom_itx: try Firefox and just go to the Add-on tab and search for youtube, there must be 20 plugins, only a couple are up to date since youtube changes its code every week or two

[23:41:13] <Connor> Direct drive on Y and Z, Belt on the X eventually (rear mount).
[23:41:21] <Tom_itx> those x 3 now
[23:41:30] <PCW_> looks like linuxcnc.org is down
[23:41:33] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop, no i don't think so
[23:41:44] <JT-Shop> logger[psha]: log
[23:42:02] <Tom_itx> so 3x 220µF caps should be enough for each one you think?
