[03:03:41] <elmo40> eli7777: one of these?
http://www.zenbotcnc.com/
[03:05:08] <elmo40> their xml file gives plenty of info.

[16:15:09] <Loetmichel> re @ home
[16:16:09] <pcw_home> We didn't do a garden here this year. Sorta OK since August has been colder than February
[16:17:36] <pcw_home> tomatos would have been in suspended animation...
[16:17:45] <skunkworks> we have had prolonged hot weather this summer - seems to have really helped the peppers
[16:18:38] <pcw_home> Yeah those tropical things like heat if they have enough water
[16:19:34] <skunkworks> right
[16:19:51] <JT-Shop> I'm planting a food plot for the deer for this winter
[16:20:10] <skunkworks> we have 4 55 gallon rain barrels that have really helped
[16:20:13] <JT-Shop> the grass had such a good root system that it would overtake the tomato plants
[16:20:35] <JT-Shop> Eraser took care of the grass :)
[16:21:00] <pcw_home> We did raise an unintentional clutch of chickens, One of our hens dissapeared in June, we thought the worse but she came back middle of July with 16 chicks in tow
[16:21:15] <skunkworks> heh - funny
[16:21:35] <pcw_home> Now we have to deal with the unwanted roosters
[16:22:38] <skunkworks> our little village passed and ordinance that allows for 5 chickens - no roosters.
[16:22:39] <pcw_home> We have food and water for deer , at least thats what they think
[16:23:20] <JT-Shop> coq au vin for the roosters
[16:23:28] <skunkworks> although you are not supposed to butcher them....
[16:23:33] <skunkworks> heh
[16:23:33] <pcw_home> Invariably the little ones the get trapped in our fence and I have to chase them out
[16:23:49] <pcw_home> (little deer)
[16:24:05] <JT-Shop> I bet that can be exciting at times
[16:25:15] <pcw_home> More exciting than I like but its bad for them here because sheep carry diseases deer shoudln't get and vice versa

[17:27:52] <pcw_home> Ive seen some smart controllers that can move the end of the pendulum (or load on crane) to as stop without over or undershoot
[17:28:51] <pcw_home> Convolutional something-aflanget
[17:29:01] <skunkworks> bless you ;)
[17:30:30] <skunkworks> did you see
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtGkUwVr9ZA
[17:30:38] <skunkworks> machine is running really quite well
[17:30:47] * skunkworks knocks on wood
[17:32:14] <skunkworks> pcw_home: I saw references to probe input. I assume that isn't working in emc yet?
[17:33:32] <pcw_home> No not yet, I think Jepler worked on it a couple of years ago but didn't get it working
[17:33:42] <skunkworks> ah - I remember that.
[17:34:23] <skunkworks> It would be nice to probe at speed. But really - it works quite well. I use it a lot.
[17:35:04] <skunkworks> slap someting on the table - probe a few points. know exactly where it is.
[17:35:48] <pcw_home> The hardwares there (latch all axis encoder count on probe edge) but i suspect something is not right in duplicating the software probe logic in the driver
[17:37:05] <skunkworks> I remember jeff having issues where it was just not acting as expected.
[17:37:40] <pcw_home> It turns out that for fancy probes its even trickier since they have a fixed (2 mS?) delay from detection to reporting
[17:37:43] <pcw_home> so to do this right requires a history FIFO
[17:37:54] <skunkworks> ewww
[17:38:40] <skunkworks> I pulled all the electronics out of the probe we bought because I didn't have the reciever. It is hooked directly into a fast opto22 module
[17:39:00] <skunkworks> so far so good
[17:39:03] <pcw_home> Was it optical?
[17:39:15] <skunkworks> some sort of inductive thing
[17:41:01] <pcw_home> Oh. I think the newer Renishaw probes are really accelerometers mounted on the probe with a DSP decideing it the probe has been hit
[17:41:19] <skunkworks> scary
[17:41:22] <pcw_home> hence the fixed decision time delay
[17:41:55] <skunkworks> this feels like a normal kinematic device (6 balls - 3 pins)
[17:43:45] <skunkworks> (some sort of renishaw knock off I think)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOi51ogqels&NR=1
[17:44:11] <pcw_home> Yeah I dont know what the advantage of the accelerometer based devices is maybe harder non-metallic balls/rods

[18:35:58] <ds3> really? I have had luck with brushed on coolant (oil) on the brazed carbide w/o any problems
[18:36:36] <ds3> it was a manual machine and definitely wasn't pushed; did it long enough to show that I used the wrong grade of carbide for alum. (pitting)
[18:37:23] <JT-Shop> HSS is better for aluminum in a manual machine sharpened dead sharp
[18:37:46] <JT-Shop> hard to get brazed carbide sharp enough for aluminum
[18:38:19] <Connor> My 1/2" HSS looked to do a good job on Aluminum when I was working with it.

[20:29:55] <archivist> Ive been out fiddling nasty routers too today
[20:30:19] <Danimal_garage> first i was having problems with my homegroup, then i was having problems with the wireless, then the wired connection crapped out, and i figured out that the router was bad
[20:30:21] <JT-Shop> one more section of air pipe to hang up and all that is left is put drops where and when I need them
[20:30:31] <Danimal_garage> nice!
[20:31:56] <Danimal_garage> plus the router was pretty old, it wasn't IPv6 ready
[20:32:29] <JT-Shop> what is IPv6?
[20:32:41] <JT-Shop> http://imagebin.org/169169
[20:33:08] <Danimal_garage> they ran out of ip addresses so they're coming out with new ones with more digits, however old routers will be obsolete apparently
[20:33:13] <archivist> ew a real expansion loop

[21:41:47] <MOGLI> hello JT-SHOP are you online?? i would like know more about thc control developed by you...
[21:42:51] <JT-Shop> yes for a bit
[21:43:09] <JT-Shop> it's rather simple or I would not have been able to do it :)
[21:43:13] <MOGLI> actually what i would like to know is.. i read about Anti Dive , tip saver features from other vendors, can we implement same in EMC using Other sensors.. if yes which sensors do we neeed
[21:43:28] <MOGLI> or its just a marketing hype
[21:43:58] <JT-Shop> anti dive is the same as corner lock which I called velocity limits I think that is what I called it
[21:44:04] <MOGLI> any good and cheap height sensor for OXYFUEL in your knowledge??
[21:44:20] <JT-Shop> anyway if your velocity is lower than the limit no correction happens
[21:44:36] <MOGLI> so it is already implemented by you .. right??
[21:44:41] <JT-Shop> good and cheap don't seem to go together
[21:44:44] <JT-Shop> yes
[21:44:58] <MOGLI> and what about Tip Saver??
[21:45:11] <JT-Shop> what is it?
[21:45:22] <MOGLI> yes they go together for example EMC.. FREE and Extremly good.... MESA Cheap and BEST ;)
[21:45:56] <JT-Shop> Mesa is what we call cost effective and best support
[21:45:57] <MOGLI> i dont know what it do? something to do with accident.. as far as i can guess..
[21:46:08] <MOGLI> but i read it on candcnc.comi think..
[21:46:55] <JT-Shop> if you have a floating head then no worries and you can use the tip to touch off with a micro switch on the floating head
[21:47:48] <MOGLI> you mean initial height sensing ??
[21:49:22] <MOGLI> and what about THC on OXYFUEL systems?? do you use any???
[21:51:18] <JT-Shop> yes for initial height setting and if the tip touches all stops as the probe input is tripped when not called for
[21:51:34] <JT-Shop> I don't do OxyFuel at this time
[21:52:31] <MOGLI> do i need anything else other than THCAD ??
[21:53:14] <MOGLI> i am planning to use it with 5I20 or 7I43..
[21:53:40] <elmo401> this should work for plasma cutter, no? keep the tip at optimal distance?
[21:55:14] <andypugh> Except, with a plasma you detect arc voltage to set the height. There is no arc voltage with oxyfuel.
[21:55:16] <JT-Shop> for OxyFuel or plasma?
[21:55:37] <JT-Shop> elmo401: that is what I use on my plasma table
[21:58:58] <MOGLI> Plasma
[21:59:20] <MOGLI> any idea for THC on Oxyfuel??

[22:18:22] <Danimal_garage> ha, nice
[22:18:45] <Tom_itx> i saw one at the surplus laying in the mud
[22:18:51] <Tom_itx> made me very sad
[22:18:51] <JT-Shop> I got 4 rails and 8 bearings for cheap
[22:18:59] <Danimal_garage> nice
[22:19:10] <JT-Shop> guy ordered the wrong ones and could not send them back
[22:19:16] <JT-Shop> like scrap price
[22:19:24] <Danimal_garage> i'm thinking 2 rails, 2 bearings per rail
[22:19:33] <Danimal_garage> not sure what size rails i should go with
[22:19:36] <A2Sheds> opendns still blocks linuxcnc.org
[22:20:23] <Danimal_garage> mainly i just need to get rid of the slop
[22:20:28] <JT-Shop> I go by weight or force and double it
[22:20:30] <Danimal_garage> not too much load involved
[22:20:46] <JT-Shop> one extra wide rail may do it for you
[22:21:06] <JT-Shop> just depends on how you can mount them
[22:21:19] <Danimal_garage> the problem is the motor is on a bracket that hangs it off the bearing by like 7 inches
[22:21:27] <Danimal_garage> so any slop is magnified
[22:21:38] <JT-Shop> ouch... lots of overhang
[22:21:54] <JT-Shop> by motor you mean the spindle?
[22:21:55] <Danimal_garage> yea
[22:21:57] <Danimal_garage> yes
[22:23:00] <Danimal_garage> i can lower the actuator to reduce that overhang, but then that reduces workpiece clearance
[22:24:04] <Danimal_garage> so i was thinking, 2 rails, and 4 bearings... keep the bearings far enough apart to reduce the deflection
[22:25:47] <JT-Shop> good thinking

[22:29:39] <andypugh> Yes, assembly jigs, brake and motor dynamometers, test cabinets.

[22:30:37] <andypugh> It was a nice little company, 3 programmers, 3 electrical engineers and three mechanical engineers in one office, machinist and two wiremen out the back.
[22:31:18] <JT-Shop> that can be nice when small like that not as much politicking going on
[22:31:28] <andypugh> That was Mechtric, before Omitec bought them out, and moved the company (but none of the staff) 200 miles away. I am not sure they have actually made anything since.
[22:32:06] <Danimal_garage> nice John

[22:45:06] <Danimal_garage> ah, didnt see that
[22:45:26] <Danimal_garage> size is what i was asking about, i think they're 15mm rails
[22:45:30] <JT-Shop> three bearings per rail for some odd reason
[22:45:38] <Danimal_garage> i can take one off
[22:46:01] <Danimal_garage> length is a bit long, but i can cut them
[22:46:13] <JT-Shop> should be able to google the part number
[22:46:19] <Danimal_garage> i did
[22:46:40] <JT-Shop> $22.20 shipping
[22:47:02] <andypugh> three bearings per rail can be preloaded against each other.

[22:47:38] <Danimal_garage> a bit overkill i think, but i guess that won't hurt and the price is right
[22:48:06] <Danimal_garage> i'll just cut them to about 12"
[22:49:13] <andypugh> Do you think that they might actually be 580mm long?
[22:50:04] <andypugh> But then he would, surely, have said 22" 107/128?

[23:19:54] -!-
Calyp has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[23:20:23] <FinboySlick> I'm thinking of making a plate with tapered t-slots.
[23:20:28] <FinboySlick> That match the table.
[23:20:34] <andypugh> It's not that hard, you need an adaptor plate thick enough to make 4 slots to allow a spanner to get to some nuts.
[23:20:50] <FinboySlick> Pushing dual 't-nuts' in the slots would tighten it in place.
[23:21:14] <FinboySlick> Lemme model it, I'll show in a few minute.
[23:21:15] <FinboySlick> s
[23:21:27] <Tom_itx> anybody know the angle on a last word mount? i'd like to find a cutter for it
[23:22:12] <Danimal_garage> JT-Shop: they're heavy duty i guess according to that
[23:22:19] <JT-Shop> yea
[23:22:22] <Danimal_garage> i bought them
[23:22:31] <JT-Shop> done deal then
[23:23:07] <Danimal_garage> it has like 5/16" linear rods in there now for the z axis
[23:23:39] <Danimal_garage> it's gotta be WAY better than that
[23:23:50] <Danimal_garage> and even that was almost good enough
[23:24:11] <Danimal_garage> the bearing block was only about 2" long
[23:25:09] <JT-Shop> don't need much for a printer I guess
[23:25:30] <Danimal_garage> yea
[23:25:44] * JT-Shop listens to Telstar
[23:25:46] <Danimal_garage> kinda weird that the linear actuators for x and y were pretty beefy
[23:26:17] <JT-Shop> I guess to handle the inertia of direction change to get the speed up
[23:26:30] <Danimal_garage> yea
[23:26:40] <Danimal_garage> good point
[23:26:52] <Danimal_garage> it has some pretty nice thk actuators
[23:28:30] <Danimal_garage> now it's just the waiting game
[23:28:49] <Danimal_garage> probably get them at the end of the week or early next week
[23:29:11] <JT-Shop> I should be making Ballista parts
[23:29:13] <Danimal_garage> should be pretty easy to fashion up the mounts and everything
[23:29:34] <Danimal_garage> i should be repopulating my order list so i can make parts
[23:29:46] <Danimal_garage> kinda took last week off :)
[23:30:01] <andypugh> I should be sleeping, but instead I am waiting for Inventor to load in a VM...
[23:30:25] <JT-Shop> yuck I hate waiting for that
[23:30:41] <JT-Shop> Dan you slacker :P
[23:31:09] <andypugh> It's so slow I have to use ctrl-alt-del to see if it has appeared in the processes after I click the icon
[23:33:03] <Danimal_garage> at least i figured out what was wrong with my old garage computer today, so now i have a spare

[23:33:35] <Danimal_garage> the power connector for the hdd was flakey so it was shutting off
[23:33:53] <Danimal_garage> if you wiggled it, the hdd would turn on and off
[23:34:31] <Danimal_garage> changed the connector it was plugged in to and it booted right up
[23:34:54] <Danimal_garage> which is good because it had a ton of files i needed on it
[23:34:55] <andypugh> Ah, yes, Danimal_garage About the Imperial Metric thing, I spent this evening making some 3/8 UNC x M6 brass threaded inserts for a friend. He had an M6 hole stripped out, re-threaded to a not-very-good M8, and 3/8UNC was the next useful step up :-)
[23:35:23] <Danimal_garage> why not an m10?
[23:35:47] <andypugh> It was a bit too much too big.
[23:35:56] <Danimal_garage> i use metric up to about 19mm and thats it, mostly because of wrench sizes
[23:36:38] <Danimal_garage> it's like another language, i may know what the numbers mean, but i always think in inches
[23:37:51] <Danimal_garage> oh well, back to work for me
[23:38:15] <Tom_itx> on the parport mesa cards do most ppl use vusb to power them, pull 5v from the pc supply or just what?
[23:41:19] <JT-Shop> why not M9
[23:41:50] <JT-Shop> I find tap drills for metric taps a snap to do in your head
[23:42:43] <Tom_itx> how so?
[23:43:02] <Tom_itx> M9 is 7.8
[23:44:08] <JT-Shop> drill sizes for metric taps?
[23:44:23] <JT-Shop> subtract pitch from diameter for drill size
[23:44:44] <JT-Shop> M8 1.25 needs a 6.75mm drill
[23:44:58] <JT-Shop> M6 x 1 is a 5mm drill
[23:45:02] <JT-Shop> easy peasy

Connor has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[23:45:41] <JT-Shop> so if your making a M25 x 1 you need a 24mm hole
