[09:30:14] <scanf> Hello
[09:30:18] <scanf> doing a little testing here
[09:31:07] <scanf> i have 9 wires pins 2-11 soldered to a db25, i have a stepper hooked to a driver board, i should be able to hook up wires 2 and 3 to step/dir and get EMC to spin that axis
[09:31:10] <scanf> correct?

[10:05:04] <cpresser> scanf: depends on your configuration. look into the hal-file. it says which pins (step/dir/...) are connected to which parport-output
[10:30:04] <scanf> pin 25 is the only thing i need to ground right?
[10:31:07] <cpresser> 18-25 are all ground. just take them all to be sure
[10:31:50] <scanf> my cable only has pin 25 and pins 2-11
[10:48:17] <Valen> guess its been done for you
[10:48:27] <Valen> or somebody cheaped out lol

[13:53:50] <|n0b0dy|> how prone are stepper motors and stepper drivers to interference from power? my stepper drivers are setup like XY|Z where | is the power running between them ...
[14:00:26] <cradek> it really depends. there are all sorts of ways you can get interference, but I don't think wires running nearby is one of the big ways
[14:01:04] <cradek> there are huge threads on the mailing list about proper grounding and what goes wrong if you don't have it. everyone should read those! I'm hoping gene h writes a book on grounding one of these days.

[14:12:44] <skunkworks> that would be awesome
[14:13:22] <Loetmichel> |n0b0dy|: the power lines alre not prone to interfrerence
[14:13:43] <Loetmichel> but the Step/direction lines to the drivers from the parallel port are

[15:32:39] <Danimal_garage> how goes it
[15:34:28] <Jymmm> |n0b0dy|: Not bad I guess, might be better as a t-shirt gun . I prefer spud a la Compessed Nitrogen Gas =)
[15:34:41] <Jymmm> Danimal_garage: Not too shabby thus far =)
[15:35:24] <Danimal_garage> too many margaritas saturday :( still feeling it

[15:44:34] <Danimal_garage> haha
[15:44:44] <Danimal_garage> in my case it was crap meat
[15:45:31] <Jymmm> I made a 7ft 2.5" diam syringe once, Shoots 60ft too
[15:45:43] <Loetmichel> re @ home
[15:56:34] <skunkworks> best projectile for potato gun - ripe hickory nuts.
[15:57:09] <Loetmichel> hmmm
[15:57:32] <Loetmichel> <- *google* "hickorey nuts"
[15:57:41] <skunkworks> also - if doing the combustion style potato gun - multi spark gaps thoughout the chamber really helps the speed of the explostion
[15:58:25] <Jymmm> how did you find that out?
[15:58:47] <Loetmichel> Jymmm: sounds like "learning by doing"
[15:58:48] <Loetmichel> ;-)
[15:58:49] <skunkworks> R&D ;)
[15:59:07] <Danimal_garage> what else do they have to do in the middle of nowhere lol
[15:59:09] <Jymmm> skunkworks: how did you sync them?
[15:59:23] <Danimal_garage> you shouldnt need to
[15:59:24] <skunkworks> I made the gaps all in series
[15:59:53] <Jymmm> battery?or bbw igniter
[15:59:56] <Jymmm> bbq
[16:00:00] <Danimal_garage> the fuel won't get to the spark until the projectile passes the spark plug

[16:00:14] * Loetmichel is building a coil gun for fun.
[16:00:14] <Danimal_garage> big beutiful woman ignitor?
[16:00:18] <skunkworks> I used a grill igniter
[16:00:54] <Loetmichel> but with 4 coils in series and some electronics for triggering them in time
[16:01:16] <skunkworks> I made a small rail gun in high scool. (single coil) would shoot a BB though a few sheets of paper ;)
[16:01:17] <Loetmichel> ... and a cap charger which niedds 1s for charging al 4 cap-banks ;-)
[16:01:27] <Loetmichel> needs
[16:01:37] <Loetmichel> +less
[16:01:54] <Loetmichel> skunkworks: rail gunb or coil gun?
[16:02:18] <skunkworks> rail I assume - don't know what a coil gun is
[16:02:27] * Loetmichel will accelereate broken TC bits/1/8" shafts
[16:03:02] <Loetmichel> railgun is with 2 power rails and the "bullet" is conducting in between
[16:03:47] <Loetmichel> Coilgun is the one with one or more coils oitside a plastcs tube to accelereate frerromagnetic projectiles ;-)
[16:04:33] <skunkworks> ah - then a coil gun. (think I used a copper tube though - or was it brass)
[16:04:57] <Loetmichel> i was stunned to see that TC bits are ferromagnetic
[16:05:10] <Loetmichel> i thought Tungsten isnt magnetic?

[17:55:51] <Danimal_garage> sounds like how i mived my shizuoka, minus the backhoe
[17:56:30] <Danimal_garage> the hardinge is nice, it can be moved by hand
[17:56:35] <JT-Shop> if there is a will there is a way
[17:57:07] <Danimal_garage> i just spray a little car detailer on the floor, glides right along
[17:57:12] <Danimal_garage> :)
[17:57:13] <JT-Shop> all mine can be moved by hand... on the jack or gantry crane or a couple of come-a-longs
[17:57:21] <Danimal_garage> lol
[17:57:31] <Danimal_garage> i mean my just pushing it on the floor
[17:57:55] <JT-Shop> the HCN is that lite?
[17:58:11] <Loetmichel> haaaaayeah... nothing better tan sitting in the hot bathtub with eukalyptus oil if having a bad cold...
[17:58:32] * JT-Shop goes to make a few holes in some parts
[17:58:33] <Danimal_garage> JT-Shop: 2200lbs i think
[17:58:37] <Loetmichel> <- lets som more hot water in the tub ;-)
[17:58:42] <Danimal_garage> i can move the b-port by hand too

[20:34:28] <Danimal_garage> hmmm i need to find some lead sheet for the cathodes in my new anodizing tank (when i get it)
[20:35:14] <andypugh> How big?
[20:37:08] <ve7it> Danimal_garage, go see a sheet metal shop or roofing guy. I just updated all the flashing on my tile roof with lead sheet. It was about 1.5mm thick, easy to cut to size
[20:37:22] <Danimal_garage> 4 pieces, about 12"x19"
[20:37:45] <Danimal_garage> ve7it: thanks, thats where i got it before (roofing place)
[20:38:14] <andypugh> You can almost certainly buy 12" lead flashing form Builders' merchants
[20:38:18] <ve7it> where are you... I still have about a 30kg roll

[20:39:42] <ve7it> it comes in 3' wide rolls, but for most flashing, one cuts it into 12" wide rolls and then lengths as required for step flashings

[21:33:35] <JT-Shop> it plugs into the CD plug and has rather large plugs on each end of the cable
[21:34:04] <JT-Shop> now I have to make a hole plug
[21:34:12] <andypugh> Pity, I had visions of a dog-head sized hole in the top of the box, with a hole-sized dog head poking out.

[22:00:27] <JT-Shop> now I just have to figure out how to make the plug...
[22:05:17] <andypugh> 4 half-circles of Ali with 8 holes, a rubber disc sandwiched between them sized to squeeze out into the hole, and in onto the cable, and 8 screws?
[22:05:56] <andypugh> I am assuming that total waterproofness is called for?
[22:08:14] <Danimal_garage> duct tape
[22:12:54] <JT-Shop> andypugh: yea pretty much water/dust proof is the ticket
[22:14:25] <andypugh> Well, that should work. The rubber disc needs to be the same size as the hole and a shade thicker than the box. The ali plates need to be a few mm bigger than the hole. The screws go through the rubber, not the box.
[22:16:49] <JT-Shop> something like this made from Delrin http://imagebin.org/179544
[22:17:43] <JT-Shop> the hole is under the seat on top of the inner fender so dust tight is good enough
[22:18:37] <andypugh> That will work too. My idea is more hermetic.
[22:19:11] <JT-Shop> yes it is
[22:19:38] <andypugh> I am quite hermetic myself :-)

[22:20:28] <JT-Shop> interesting factoid "The process used a secret seal whose invention was attributed to the legendary patron of alchemy, Hermes Trismegistos."
[22:21:30] <andypugh> Actually, I seem to have misunderstood the meaning of the word, it seems totally unrelated to being a hermit.
[22:22:46] <andypugh> It is based on a belief in alchemy, astrology and theurgy. So I am triply not hermetic.
[22:23:12] <JT-Shop> a friend asked me the other day if my wife minded that I spend so much time in the shop
[22:23:40] <JT-Shop> generically speaking your sealed off if your a hermit
[22:24:30] * JT-Shop wanders over to the VMC to make a plug or two
[22:24:40] <andypugh> Yes, but (possibly) interestingly, there is no connection between "hermit" and "hermetic"

[23:21:47] <andypugh> Well, I don't know. But I cut mine off on my D510.
[23:21:49] <Tom_itx> i sorta figured cpu power might be needed
[23:22:11] <Tom_itx> beside the other 24pin
[23:23:13] <Tom_itx> wait, that's not the one i have

[23:23:44] <andypugh> I did some reading around, and decided it was worth trying just plugging it in to see what happened with 4 vacant ways on the MB and a separate plug waving in the air. It worked fine, so I stopped worrying.
[23:23:47] <Tom_itx> holy crap
[23:24:14] <andypugh> Ah, different issue.
[23:24:29] <Tom_itx> the others may not have that
[23:24:41] <andypugh> In my case the Pico PSU had a separate 4 pin plug I didn't use :-)
[23:25:02] <Tom_itx> maybe the newer picopsu come with it
[23:25:04] <Tom_itx> mine is older

[23:25:32] <Tom_itx> the apex case is still cheaper with the 250w psu

[23:26:33] <Tom_itx> Jymmm found the psu separate on newegg as a replacement for it too

[23:30:45] <skunkKandT> wow - I though I totally screwed up some parts. Seemed to measure off by a good .010. but it fit together perfectly. go figure. I guess I suck at digital calipers.
[23:31:10] <JT-Shop> calipers only get you kinda close
[23:31:33] <skunkKandT> I usually have pretty good luck

[23:31:59] <skunkKandT> but I was freaking out. ;) I think it was because I was trying to measure 2 edges that where both curvs
[23:32:02] <skunkKandT> curves
[23:32:18] <JT-Shop> it seems to be an acquired feel on calipers
[23:32:40] <JT-Shop> that can be trickey... you could use your probe heh
[23:32:59] <FinboySlick> JT-Shop: Don't be naughty.
[23:33:32] <skunkKandT> yah - thought that is what I thought was off. (I was machining a part on both sides - probing a hole after flipping)
[23:34:03] <skunkKandT> trust the machine!
[23:36:45] <Danimal_garage> i use callipers for everything lol
[23:37:06] <Danimal_garage> but most of my measuring only is checking for concentricity, so the actual number doesnt matter
[23:47:38] <JT-Shop> I'm so glad, I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad
[23:48:15] * Tom_itx gives JT-Shop some wine to settle him down

[23:55:57] <JT-Shop> I use micrometers for most stuff and calliope for everything else
