[02:47:20] <Tom_itx> i can use the 7I47 to drive a SSR right?
[02:47:33] <Tom_itx> it says 35ma in the pdf
[02:47:49] -!- stormlight [stormlight!~jasonandt@c-50-131-97-216.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has joined #emc
[02:48:42] <Tom_itx> using the inverted side and tying the SSR + to power
[02:49:26] <Tom_itx> testing with an led seems to work ok
[02:54:31] <pcw_home> Sure 7I47 has 5V swing outputs
[02:55:55] <Tom_itx> i was testing what we talked about the other day with a pullup on it but i may not need one
[02:56:21] <Tom_itx> haven't tried the actual hardware yet though
[02:57:20] <Tom_itx> i think i reserved a pin on the 47 so i may not need to tap into P3 on the 7I43 just yet
[03:01:47] <Tom_itx> to assure it is off on startup the inverted signal is needed though
[03:02:31] -!- stormlight has quit [Quit: stormlight]
[03:06:51] -!- nicko has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[03:22:48] <pcw_home> No pullup is needed on the 7I47 output, Either output will drive a SSR either way (5V referred or gnd referred loads OK)
[03:24:36] <pcw_home> yes inverted signals are needed if you use the FPGA pins directly since the FPGA pins are active low (and high at power up)
[03:30:18] <Tom_itx> i tested it on both
[03:30:39] <Tom_itx> they both seem to work (at least with an led) with no pullup
[03:38:36] <jdhNC> what SSR? I have some opto22's that draw almost nothing
[03:39:02] <Tom_itx> i'm not sure what it it for sure
[03:39:57] <Tom_itx> (if that made sense) reaching across 2 kbds and looking at 3 monitors here
[03:40:14] -!- automata_ has quit [Ping timeout: 258 seconds]
[03:41:05] <Tom_itx> i've been using it on my sherline for quite a few years now
[03:41:15] <jdhNC> for spindle power?
[03:41:19] <Tom_itx> yes
[03:41:26] <jdhNC> any leakage problems?
[03:41:29] <Tom_itx> switching it over to emc to try
[03:41:35] <Tom_itx> not that i've noticed
[03:42:17] <jdhNC> mine hums sometimes... a few mA leakage
[03:42:39] <Tom_itx> never noticed anything unusual
[03:46:24] <pcw_home> Yeah I guess most SCR/TRIAC based SSRs always leak a few mA through the host leadswhen off
[03:46:36] <pcw_home> hot leads
[03:47:11] <pcw_home> probably needed to run the SCR side logic
[03:47:59] <jdhNC> just enough to make my cheap router motor hum in some spots
[03:48:52] <pcw_home> Or get a fair shock so I have heard
[03:49:13] <jdhNC> I'll attempt to not verify that.
[03:50:17] <jdhNC> I have a contactor I could use instead, but it would require a DC relay for the coil
[03:51:32] <pcw_home> You have a DC coil contactor?
[03:52:03] <jdhNC> this one is 120 coil, I'd need the dc relay to switch the 120
[03:52:22] <pcw_home> Ah 120VDC
[03:52:41] <pcw_home> How many mA?
[03:53:15] <jdhNC> no, it's an AC coil, but it would require the other relay for teh coil
[03:53:59] <pcw_home> yea or a weensy SSR
[03:55:02] <jdhNC> is a 5i25 operationally much different than a 5i22?
[03:55:15] <pcw_home> I think there are some of those photovoltaic/MOSFET OPTOs that would work for that
[03:57:11] <pcw_home> well 5I25 has much fewer I/O pins, a newer but smaller FPGA (Sort of 400k-ish like the 5I23s FPGA)
[03:57:47] <jdhNC> this is for a 3 axis step/dir, home/limits, estop, probe, maybe spindle encoder
[03:58:14] <pcw_home> and also has on card configuration storage (it need to, it contains the PCI bus interface)
[03:58:38] <jdhNC> I noticed the vendor id's changed
[04:00:18] <Tom_itx> don't FPGA's load their config on startup opposed to CPLD's?
[04:00:23] <Tom_itx> it's been a while for me...
[04:00:38] <pcw_home> well simple configs like that should be fine, We figured that most slow (well updated at servo thread rate = 1 --> 5 KHz)
[04:00:40] <pcw_home> GPIO could use serial IO expanders so we dont need so many pins anymore for most motion systems
[04:02:40] <pcw_home> Yes FPGAs often load their config from an external chip (or from the system bus like most of our FPGA cards)
[04:02:42] <pcw_home> There are some FPGA with on chip flash storage, but all eventually get get loaded into RAM cells in the FPGA
[04:04:12] <pcw_home> Even some CPLDs are RAM based (they load the RAM cells from on chip EEPROM memory at power up)

[04:10:18] <pcw_home> (other 5I25,5I22 difference is that 5I25 is target only at least until I get more ambitious and write a bus master PCI core)
[04:10:20] <pcw_home> not that this makes any real difference as the Hostmot2 driver does not yet support DMA

[12:56:47] <Loetmichel> any 2k car paint?
[12:57:10] <JT-Shop> no, this is a specific one for machines... I can't remember the brand
[12:57:12] <Loetmichel> meaning two component paint

[13:34:04] <JT-Shop> found it
[13:41:48] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Do yo have Smart and Final stores in your area?
[13:41:55] <JT-Shop> no
[13:41:57] <syyl> hammerite as a good machine paint? Oo
[13:42:04] <JT-Shop> yea
[13:42:15] <syyl> over here, that stuff is water based since a few years
[13:43:02] <Loetmichel> hammerite (the kinde with the scructurend surface) is the worst thing you can do to a macine
[13:43:18] <Loetmichel> it contains silicone oil for the "hammered" look
[13:43:29] <JT-Shop> the smooth one it what I will use
[13:43:41] <JT-Shop> not looking for a "look"
[13:43:47] <Loetmichel> which means that jou NEVER get a nea new paint
[13:44:21] <Loetmichel> which means that jou NEVER get a new pain on te machine without grinding it completely off AND usind silicone remover in masses
[13:44:38] <syyl> i would go for a good primer and paint (maybe even 2k) from a well knowed brand
[13:44:58] <Loetmichel> yeah that would be my way too
[13:45:13] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Well, if you ever come across this, grab a bag or two (frozen)... http://fresh.amazon.com/product?asin=B00113YTF2
[13:46:47] <JT-Shop> I use Nason Ful-Thane 2k urethane on my tractor
[13:47:57] <JT-Shop> http://pc.dupont.com/dpc/en/US/html/visitor/b/nsn/home.html
[13:49:34] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Nuke the chicken as directed, then toss the sauces in a pan over med heat, add the chicken, and stir occasionally till the sauce is reduced to your preference.
[13:49:55] * ries re-checks if this is the EMC channel :D
[13:49:57] <JT-Shop> can you e-mail me some
[13:50:48] <syyl> now its the chicken-channel
[13:50:52] <syyl> and i get hungry

[13:52:52] <syyl> that paint sounds good
[13:53:10] <JT-Shop> I'm cooking a roasting hen on the Big Easy this afternoon drizzled with EVOO garlic powder and adobo powder
[13:53:27] <JT-Shop> I've used it on my tractor and it seems to hold up well
[13:54:05] <JT-Shop> the color match ends up being the same as a 1980 Porsche Bamboo Beige
[13:56:29] <Jymmm> In a frying pan, add 2-4 tablespoons of water, tablespoon of chicken bullion, fresh/frozen brocolli, carrots, couple of onion slices, head of cabbage sliced to about 1.5" wide, blk pepper to taste. cover and simmer over med-heat till everything is softened partially. Add some corn starch (pre-diluted in water) and let it cook out and thicken up a bit. Makes a nice sauce instead of just steamed veggies.

[18:04:32] <FinboySlick> Actually, let's move to a more EMC related question that is linked to that insecurity. When I tested higher movement rates on the machine, I found that EMC doesn't ramp down speed when it's nearing an axis limit.

[18:05:50] <FinboySlick> This a bug or a feature?
[18:08:14] <FinboySlick> Or merely the fact that steppers are just expected to stop dead when you aren't sending pulses to them?

[18:11:26] <archivist> FinboySlick, steppers have to be decelerated properly
[18:12:14] <FinboySlick> archivist: That's sort of what I assumed. Could it be that EMC doesn't do that when 'keyboard jogging'?
[18:12:44] <FinboySlick> Or more likely that I didn't set the acceleration limits properly?
[18:13:05] <Jymmm> Sounds like an axis misconfiguration to me, but what do I know
[18:14:11] <FinboySlick> Jymmm: Well, that too. Assuming that it does decelerate properly though, does it decelerate once it reaches a soft limit or before it reaches a soft limit?
[18:14:46] <Jymmm> FinboySlick: soft limit? Like a physical point?
[18:15:46] <FinboySlick> Jymmm: Soft limit as in telling EMC that the X axis can only go from -150mm to 150mm when physically, the machine can go to -155mm and 155mm.
[18:16:25] <Jymmm> FinboySlick: If you're "overdriving" it, and requires 10feet to come to a complete stop, but give the soft limit at 7 feet, it's gonna crash.
[18:19:31] <FinboySlick> Jymmm: Obviously. I'm definitely no expert in axis configuration but according to the wizard, you supply max travel, max speed and max acceleration. When you jog along an axis and hit max travel going max speed, it's obviously going to keep going. My question is does EMC start decelerating before it hits max travel or after it hits max travel.
[18:20:48] <FinboySlick> If it's before it hits max travel, I loose speed near limits. If it's after it hits max travel, then I loose range.
[18:26:39] <Jymmm> FinboySlick: I'm sorry, you can't do 100MPH and expect to make a right turn at 0.25 feet from the brick wall... IT"S THE LAW!
[18:27:13] <FinboySlick> Jymmm: I'm not complaining about loosing either, I'm trying to figure out which I should expect to loose.
[18:27:45] <Jymmm> d) All the above.

[18:28:08] <Tom_itx> you don't watch enough cartoons
[18:28:25] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: Ah, true enough. my bad
[18:28:41] <FinboySlick> Jymmm: OK, so I set the axis limits according to the time it will take EMC to decelerate past them?
[18:29:27] <Jymmm> FinboySlick: I suspect cradek_ jepler would know
[18:31:41] <FinboySlick> If such is the case, I'm thinking it's a bit counter-intuitive.
[18:31:52] <Jymmm> Has anyone ACTUALLY used a stepper motor as a generator?
[18:32:05] <Tom_itx> not for very long
[18:32:07] <Tom_itx> but yes
[18:32:15] <FinboySlick> Jymmm: I have a feeling you'd get some pretty nasty voltage spikes.

[18:32:59] <Jymmm> FinboySlick: That's what regulators are for =)
[18:33:08] <FinboySlick> Jymmm: Heh, I think it wouldn't take much speed for it to start outputting RF ;)

[20:23:48] <awallin> on windows I have used mastercam and surfcam. nowadays something that works in solidworks is maybe more popular.

[20:25:01] <FinboySlick> eli7777: Most of my learning process doesn't involve CAM so far, just trying to learn how to get good finishes, proper speeds/feeds, optimizing the machine so I can reach those goals and that is on very little actual spare time to toy with it.
[20:25:05] <eli7777> for cad i use solidegde. i used mastcam 9.1 but that has been a few yeas.
[20:25:07] <Tom_itx> awallin, which do you prefer?
[20:25:12] <Tom_itx> MC or SC?
[20:25:46] <Tom_itx> i liked sc comms better at the time i was actively spitting out g code
[20:26:19] <awallin> I'm no expert... used them both a few years ago, but maybe MC.
[20:26:35] <Tom_itx> i liked smartcam over mastercam at the time
[20:26:48] <awallin> it's funny that if you read the camzone blog basically most programs have the same components under the hood anyway
[20:26:51] <Tom_itx> they've been bought and sold a couple times since
[20:27:18] <awallin> this take: http://camzone.org/2011/09/07/component-technology-theres-no-fun-without-it/
[20:27:21] <Tom_itx> yeah, one nice thing is smartcam allowed you to write custom posts for any machine
[20:27:29] <Tom_itx> iirc, you had to purchase them with mc
[20:29:01] <awallin> pirate-party voted into parlament in GER it seems :)
[20:29:18] <FinboySlick> awallin: They have majority yet? ;)
[20:29:29] <awallin> 9% says the news
[20:29:36] <FinboySlick> Wow, that's pretty good.
[20:29:52] <FinboySlick> The times, they are a-changin' it seems.
[20:30:05] <Tom_itx> everywhere
[20:30:09] <awallin> hm 9% in Berlin region. maybe. anyone from GER here?

[21:12:14] <FinboySlick> I think I got my answer as far as jog and acceleration. Doc says: "If a jog would pass the soft limit, it is terminated at the soft limit." Which sugests that EMC will start decelerating *after* the soft limit.

[21:39:23] <FinboySlick> cradek: Not in my experience, unless I set something wrong.
[21:39:43] <FinboySlick> If I go slowly enough, yeah, it stops at the limit. If I go faster, it stops past it.
[21:40:14] <cradek> do you mean the mechanism travels too far, or do you mean the commanded value as shown on the screen goes too far?
[21:40:16] <FinboySlick> I assume that might have to do with the max accel param?
[21:41:02] <FinboySlick> cradek: I mean if I hold the x axis jog until it reaches the end of its travel range, it will overshoot if I was jogging too fast.
[21:41:18] <cradek> I still don't know what you mean by that
[21:41:37] <cradek> do you understand my question?
[21:43:21] <FinboySlick> cradek: If I set movement to 'continuous' in Axis. Then press the 'left' key to move the x axis to the left until I hit +150mm (which is what I set as a limit), it will physically go past 150mm.
[21:43:49] <FinboySlick> And bump into its hard limit.
[21:43:56] <FinboySlick> (as in hardware going clunk)
[21:43:59] <cradek> does the number on the screen go past 150?
[21:44:49] <FinboySlick> cradek: I don't recall (tested this a while back before I set the speed limit low enough that it wouldn't overshoot). I suspect it didn't.
[21:45:03] <cradek> I'm trying to ask you to discern between slop in the hardware and an overshoot in emc's commanded position
[21:45:13] <cradek> emc will not command a position outside the soft limits
[21:45:58] <FinboySlick> cradek: Oh I'm sure EMC didn't command anything past its limit. I'm just wondering if it took time to decelerate before hitting the limit.
[21:46:06] <cradek> but if your hardware is sloppy in various ways, including mechanically, or in the PID tuning on a servo system, the actual position may be different from the commanded/desired position by an arbitrary amount
[21:46:30] <FinboySlick> cradek: It's a stepper setup, no feedback.
[21:46:50] <cradek> yes, emc's commanded position will NEVER exceed the constraints you configure
[21:47:25] <cradek> that means that to stop at a certain position, it has to decelerate when coming up to it
[21:47:48] <FinboySlick> cradek: Yes, that bit I understand. I was just wondering if it did so while jogging because it didn't seem to.
[21:48:13] <cradek> it does
[21:48:20] <cradek> you can verify that using halscope
[21:48:39] <cradek> you could plot the position and velocity
[21:48:42] <FinboySlick> cradek: So most likely I didn't set my max accel parameter low enough.
[21:48:57] <cradek> yes that could be it
[21:49:29] -!- micges has quit [Quit: Ex-Chat]
[21:50:26] <FinboySlick> It seems to do fine when I feed it gcode however.
[21:51:35] <FinboySlick> cradek: I'm assuming this has a lot to do with rotational inertia on the ballscrew, couplings and rotor.
[21:51:45] <cradek> if you're in G64 mode, the acceleration when running gcode is (often) half that of your configured value, which is what jogging uses
[21:52:04] <cradek> so you might be seeing higher accel when jogging, even though that accel is below your configured number
[21:52:43] -!- Fox_Muldr has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[21:52:53] <FinboySlick> That's a bit worrysome, I set accel to manufacturer's recommended 'if you don't know what you're doing' setting.
[21:53:35] <cradek> it can be hard to pick the best accel.

[21:57:54] <FinboySlick> Maybe do a full speed back and forth for a few inches, stopping at a specific dial indicator value and see if I always get the same result.
