[02:54:35] <fritzgutten_> i need a hal specialist, anyone willing to help?
[02:56:39] <archivist> just ask the real question
[02:58:09] <fritzgutten_> trying to set up a stepper driven spindle, having trouble understanding how to connect signals and pins
[02:59:11] <fritzgutten_> i've gotten emc to start again...and the spindle controls show up, but i'm not getting any movement
[02:59:44] <fritzgutten_> tested the hardware configured as an a axis

[03:34:02] <fritzgutten_> i dont think i understand the syntax of the hal file. i thought i had read that a net comand is followed by a signal and however many ?readers ? is that right?

[13:52:19] <JT-Shop> OK I finally got my mind right and see from dmesg that pin1 from the 5i20 is Step0 and pin 1 to the 7i47 is TX4... I knew I had seen it somewhere or another
[13:58:48] <pcw_home> Yeah its a little awkward, you need to look at the configuration pinout, and two pages of the 7I47 manual at once
[13:59:37] <JT-Shop> I need to put a tip in the manual about the connections
[14:00:17] <JT-Shop> that is a weird pinout now that I look at it
[14:04:10] <JT-Shop> pcw_home: if I'm just driving 3 stepper drives do I need to supply the Aux 5v to the 7i47?
[14:04:16] <pcw_home> Yeah its intended for differential encoders and step/dir migh have been better to rename the TX pins so TX4 was TX0 but I think its a compromise
[14:04:18] <pcw_home> to use our standard encoder pinout on the RX lines and have some mathing TX near the RX for serial use
[14:04:54] <pcw_home> No you should not need to (mainly thats for encoders)
[14:05:04] <JT-Shop> OK, just wanted to make sure

[15:43:02] <pcw_home> but the receivers issy used had slow enable/disable times so never really drove the bus

[16:33:07] <JT-Shop> SWEET! my ngcgui sub for the plasma works :)
[16:33:51] <sarariman_seb> ngcgui seems really cool, but i haven't played with it yet
[16:34:27] <Danimal_garage> i dont even know what it is lol
[16:35:39] <Danimal_garage> i'm assuming since i only do production work on my machines i probably wouldnt need it, right?
[16:35:44] <sarariman_seb> i think of it as a gui for mdi subroutine invocation
[16:35:54] <sarariman_seb> yes i think it's more for "manual cnc"
[16:36:26] <Danimal_garage> gotcha, kinda what i thought it was
[16:36:38] <Danimal_garage> makes it into a conversational control
[16:36:46] <sarariman_seb> yeah
[16:37:28] <Loetmichel> re @ home
[16:37:31] <Danimal_garage> is that what you would set up for probing? or no?
[16:37:55] <sarariman_seb> you could use it for probing, sure
[16:38:30] <Danimal_garage> cool
[16:38:39] <Danimal_garage> i'd still like to set up a probe someday
[16:38:53] <JT-Shop> you can make a pyvcp button to run any sub you want

[16:41:32] <Danimal_garage> so i wouldnt have to go and search for programs

[16:42:27] <Danimal_garage> JT-Shop: yea, that's great for what you do, totally makes sense. that was the cool thing about proto traks
[16:42:53] <JT-Shop> the one I just did for the plasma cuts a square/rectangle of any size with corner radius and torch lead in

[16:47:05] <Danimal_garage> JT-Shop: nobody has heard of any heavy duty garage door seals around here, all they have is the crappy ones i already have
[16:47:44] <Danimal_garage> although i did notice that the seals aren't actually touching the door, i was considering buying more of the same stuff and putting on another layer
[16:48:10] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: about 5 times, it's a natural mild topical anesthetic
[16:48:38] <Danimal_garage> i have one lonely aloe plant in my back yard
[16:48:46] <Danimal_garage> not even sure how it got there
[16:49:34] <Jymmm> Danimal_garage: one? The ones I have go bannanas. I have to split them apart each year. Even shipped one to a friend in SoCal and now it's 4ft tall
[16:49:53] <Loetmichel> Jymmm: aloe plants?
[16:49:56] <Loetmichel> here in germany?
[16:50:36] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: you can buy aloe vera gel too. just check the label and make sure water is NOT the first ingredient
[16:50:59] <Loetmichel> where it rains only 2 times a year? (from march to july and from augus 'til november ;-) )?
[16:51:31] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: Aloe vera is one of those plants you can seriously abuse and it still grows.

[16:53:28] <Danimal_garage> i can actually see them grow day by day

Rogge [Rogge!~IceChat77@69.129.221.34] has joined #emc
[17:44:09] <Rogge> Hello, all. Is it possible to set a tolerance for G2/G3 I and J values? I keep getting a "Radius to end of arc differs from radius to start" errors. The errors are tiny (tenths), and I think I get them because my code has only 3 decimal points of precision.
[17:44:27] <Rogge> The same code runs fine on a Fanuc-style control.
[17:45:47] <Rogge> Code can be found here:
http://pastecode.com/bc
[17:46:44] <IchGuckLive> Rogge: 0.002 millimeter (if millimeters are being used).
[17:46:54] <IchGuckLive> i think your code is bad
[17:48:36] <Rogge> Code is in inches, works on other controls. Is there a way to change the .002mm seting?
[17:49:12] <IchGuckLive> in inche i see but only 3 digits why ???
[17:49:42] <IchGuckLive> dident you got a cam system
[17:51:30] <Rogge> Yes - but I don't have the solid model for this part (old code left over from previous era). I'm stil curious, why does EMC balk at this when other controls are OK with it?

[19:39:36] <andypugh> Rogge: I just looked, and it seems that it doesn't recalculate arc centres. However, it ought to be possible to use that code to actually recalculate arcs with some simple changes
[19:39:55] <cpresser> Rogge: do you want to run the program on emc2? if yes, just change G20/G21
[19:40:35] <Rogge> Andy: That'
[19:40:39] <andypugh> cpresser: The problem isn't units, it is that the arc centres are not specified to enough tolerance to satisfy EMC2
[19:41:04] <cpresser> ah sorry, i didnt get the whole conversation
[19:41:16] <Rogge> that's OK - I'll go about redoing the model and CAM. I'm surprised that the tolerance on the arc centers isn't something that can be set in the INI file though...
[19:42:03] <Rogge> Out of curiosity, is IchGuckLiv's response correct - that I/J and arc centers must line up within .002mm?
[19:42:09] <andypugh> Well, the question is what should EMC2 do about inaccurate centres? Where should it actually put the cutter if the centre of the arc is ambiguous?

http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html/gcode_main.html#sub:G2,-G3:-Arc

[19:44:53] <JT-Shop> well I know where some are
[19:45:20] <Rogge> Ahah! I hate to bother people for information that I could have found myself. Embarassingly, it took me months to find out how to search the user list...

[19:46:14] <JT-Shop> Rogge: thanks for the link
[19:46:26] <andypugh> Rogge: I wonder how many lines need changing? if it is only one in 760 lines, it might be manageable, and IchGlucklive seemed to hint that changing only line 760 was enough for him.
[19:47:22] <andypugh> (Though possibly only for a small portion that you posted, thinking about it)
[19:47:22] <Rogge> Well, it's 20,000 lines long, and it started throwing errors on line 30 of the roughing toolpath. The finishing path looks much worse.

[19:47:53] <Rogge> I think I can dig up a model, and it shouldn't take too long to redo the CAM.
[19:48:40] <andypugh> Just adding another place of decimals should be all it needs.
[19:49:12] <Rogge> Admission here: I ran the code in Mach and had loss of position that was concretely attributable to the (lack of) processing power. I wanted to see (as I suspect) if EMC was more stable in its software step generation.
[19:49:45] <JT-Shop> did you run the latency test?
[19:52:04] <Rogge> I did - results seemed quite good (~4 uS jitter)
[19:52:26] <JT-Shop> nice
[19:52:41] <JT-Shop> now if your step timings are correct for your drive your good to go
[19:53:03] <JT-Shop> also did you know on huge files you can turn off the back plot?
[19:53:05] <Rogge> Andy - OT, but I saw your VFD run as a servo for that lathe spindle motor with EMC closing the PID loop... very cool!
[19:54:07] <Rogge> Did you see an increase in the low speed torque of the motor as a result of the velocity feedback?
[19:55:08] <Rogge> JT - Does EMC draw the toolpath when you're not on the toolpath display tab?
[19:55:28] <JT-Shop> I don't know the answer to that :/
[19:55:49] <Danimal_garage> JT-Shop: yea, mine are being obstructed by something, i cant really move them any closer
[19:56:01] <Danimal_garage> mine dont sit flat like that at all

[20:01:10] <Danimal_garage> ah, you got it pulled apart?
[20:01:30] <JT-Shop> yea, yesterday
[20:01:33] <Danimal_garage> how are you going to mount the sprocket?
[20:01:50] <JT-Shop> not got that far yet...
[20:03:47] <JT-Shop> http://imagebin.org/177702
[20:04:53] <Danimal_garage> do you think that can handle 24hp? lol
[20:05:33] <JT-Shop> probably mount it where the ring gear is the sproket is 8" in diameter and the housing is only 5" in diameter
[20:05:44] <JT-Shop> yea, I think it will be ok
[20:06:21] <JT-Shop> and the 8" sprocket is a tad small already
[20:09:10] <Danimal_garage> should be pretty cool
[20:12:22] <andypugh> Rogge: I was just experimenting with the spindle. I was surprised it worked at all with that particular VFD, it made me wonder how well you could make a flux-vector VFD work.
[20:14:49] <Rogge> I'll most likely try it in the next few months... I have an Emerson sensorless vector drive that I'd like to use on a lathe motor, but it performs poorly at low RPMs

[21:39:30] <Danimal_garage> it's because i'm residential
[21:40:29] <Danimal_garage> 20rpm? mine won't go below 150rpm
[21:40:39] <Danimal_garage> mainly because that's how i have it set
[21:41:01] <Danimal_garage> i guess i can put it in low gear any maybe get 75rpm

[23:08:37] <PCW> Andy, No unless you want to list the selected mode name in dmesg
[23:10:37] <andypugh> Easier not to. Quite a lot easier.
[23:11:41] <jthornton> proboStep is negative logic on the 7i47 connect step and direction to /TX and +5vdc?
[23:12:23] <PCW> andy: yes then just skip records you dont like

[23:16:54] <PCW> Confusingly enough, I think you want the TX+ lines
[23:17:20] <jthornton> and gnd?
[23:18:11] <PCW> These are RS-422 names
[23:18:13] <PCW> Yes always gnd with that drive (its not isolated so make sure your PS is isolated)
[23:18:52] <jthornton> thanks Peter
[23:19:56] <jthornton> so leave /TX not connected?
[23:20:14] <PCW> so you can use TX+ or TX- but the GND needs to connect to the drive
[23:20:15] <PCW> Yep TX- unconnected
[23:20:30] <jthornton> OK, thanks again

[23:21:13] <PCW> TX+ and TX- can be used if you have floating (uncommited LEDs on the optos)
[23:21:26] <mshaver> The drive won't stand a 5V peak reverse voltage on it's inputs? Or it's got a common ground on the inputs?
[23:21:38] <mshaver> PCW just answers this :)
[23:21:52] <PCW> Unisolated common GND
[23:22:23] <PCW> differential is the classiest way
[23:22:24] <mshaver> If there was ever a place to spend a connector pin...
[23:22:32] <PCW> best noise immunity
[23:23:09] <mshaver> is dgarrett or seb around?
[23:23:52] <mshaver> guess not...

[23:29:16] <GoSebGo> One what?
[23:29:21] <andypugh> It's a baseless assumption on my part.
[23:29:41] <mshaver> One of the set of seb or dgarrett
[23:29:58] <mshaver> I just asked about you
[23:30:13] <GoSebGo> Ask and you shall receive!
[23:30:40] <mshaver> if only that would work when I ask for money!
[23:31:00] <GoSebGo> Heh
[23:31:18] <GoSebGo> How's life matt? Long time no see
[23:31:19] <mshaver> anyway, dgarrett sent me your comments on my ini file commits regarding ngcgui
[23:31:49] <mshaver> I'm alive and the mortgage is current :)
[23:32:28] <mshaver> should I make 2.4 and 2.5 specific files?
[23:32:48] <GoSebGo> Oh yea! It made the merge awkward - not a showstopper but it did excessively eat into valuable drinking-beer-on-the-couch tome
[23:33:00] <GoSebGo> *time
[23:33:24] <mshaver> The 2.4 specific ini file key/value pairs didn't cause problems with 2.4, but dg thought them confusing for people who would use it as an example
[23:34:41] <mshaver> I'm getting close to making scripts to autogenerate all those smithy config files

[23:37:09] <GoSebGo> Ugh this phone keyboard sucks
[23:37:13] <GoSebGo> Ok ttys
[23:40:58] <Jymmm> mshaver: (but is the property taxes?) ;)
[23:41:06] <dgarr> mshaver: what is committed for 2.4 works, but _you_ must supply your users several files (tkapp.py, ngcgui.tcl, ngcgui_app.tcl, ngcgui_ttt.tcl)
[23:41:19] <dgarr> for 2.5, TKPKG provides everything and your users should not supply these files
[23:42:18] * JT-Shop loves ngcgui
[23:42:21] <dgarr> so i recommend removing the unrequired directives for 2.5 as they will cause great confusion
[23:45:19] <Danimal_garage> JT-Shop: did your pipe thread one work?
[23:46:17] <mshaver> I think I've removed all the 2.5 specific stuff. If the files you mention aren't in the config file directory, there is no error message, just no ngcgui.
[23:46:51] <JT-Shop> Dan yes
[23:47:16] <JT-Shop> the plasma one is awesome... next is box for the plasma
[23:47:23] <Danimal_garage> sweet
[23:47:27] <Danimal_garage> box?
[23:47:38] <Danimal_garage> you're gunna get your plasma laid?
[23:47:41] <JT-Shop> yea, to cut the bottom and sides of a box
[23:47:59] <JT-Shop> it would be shocking for sure
[23:48:21] <Danimal_garage> ha
[23:48:54] <dgarr> mshaver: a current (Just now) checkout of v2.5 branch has TKAPP= lines in smithy ini files, these are not needed and will cause confusion for 2.5
[23:50:27] <mshaver> OK, I'll have to checkout that branch & fix it.
[23:56:58] * JT-Shop retires to the cocina to start some chow
[23:58:02] * mshaver will be back in about 15 mins
