[00:12:46] <PCW> Danimal_garage its in the 7I48 manual but it could be a little clearer
[00:12:47] <PCW> PWM mode is up/down frequency is 24 KHz (for 5I20)
[00:13:32] <Danimal_garage> ah ok, if it isn't bluntly worded i probably didnt understand lol
[00:13:34] <Danimal_garage> thanks
[00:14:08] <PCW> page 8 of the manual
[00:14:18] <Danimal_garage> i guess my buddy just called you about the stuff he ordered for his mach to emc conversion
[00:14:45] <Danimal_garage> asking about the index pin z vs x
[00:16:55] <PCW> I notice I updated the manual to say mode 2 PWM in addition to up/down mode but did not put the updated manual on the website
[00:17:03] * JT-Shop listens to Don't mess with my Toot-Toot
[00:17:33] <Danimal_garage> PCW: maybe thats what got me

[00:18:31] <PCW> As i get older I notice that I think I finished a lot of things I only 1/2 way finished
[00:18:43] <Danimal_garage> same here
[00:19:14] <Danimal_garage> i only put one sock on this morning, and it wasnt even on my foot
[00:20:28] <skunkKandT> I just hacked cradeks probing routines to find the center of a square. (outside perimeter.
[00:20:30] <Danimal_garage> JT-Shop: ever mess with suspended ceilings?
[00:20:41] <skunkKandT> it isn't pretty
[00:20:48] <skunkKandT> but seems to work ok
[00:21:02] -!- Loetmichel has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
[00:21:26] <Danimal_garage> im thinking of getting that suspended acoustic panneling for the shop, it's the only i can do it without a hell of a lot of work
[00:22:43] <Danimal_garage> there's wiring annd gas lines and bracing for earthquakes that prevent me from just hanging drywall
[00:23:05] <Danimal_garage> plus the fact that i need to be able to remove the panneling to get the drawbars out of the mills
[00:24:18] <skunkKandT> http://pastebin.com/YfEDvyzj
[00:25:35] <JT-Shop> Dan, yes

[00:25:54] <skunkKandT> assumes a 5mm ball
[00:26:28] <Danimal_garage> JT-Shop: am i right to feel guilty about using it to take the easy way out?
[00:26:54] <JT-Shop> no, you can insulate the hell out of it after it is up
[00:27:13] <Danimal_garage> my only other option is to basically extend the rafters down 4 inches so i can hang drywall
[00:27:19] <Danimal_garage> thats the plan
[00:28:19] <JT-Shop> you need about 6" to 12" to hang a suspended ceiling to get the tiles in and out... depends on the size
[00:28:31] <Danimal_garage> it should be the quietest room in the house
[00:28:39] <Danimal_garage> hmm i read 3-4"
[00:29:23] <JT-Shop> it is possible but not much fun to hang it at 4"
[00:30:05] <JT-Shop> the wires are so short they are a pia and then if anything gets in the way you have to shuttle tiles across the room to get them in place
[00:31:44] <Danimal_garage> yea thats what i figured
[00:35:58] <PCW> 7I48 manual updated...
[00:37:06] <JT-Shop> Hello. This is a collect call to Mrs. Floyd from Mr. Floyd will you accept the charges from the United States?... he hung up... I wonder why he hung up
[00:39:17] <danimal_laptop> pink floyding it up, huh
[00:42:25] <JT-Shop> lol
[00:43:18] * danimal_laptop is spilling the wine and taking the girl
[00:43:48] <danimal_laptop> at the house of the rising sun
[00:48:18] <JT-Shop> nice

[00:50:22] <Danimal_garage> Derek and the dominos or clapton solo?

[02:27:53] <Danimal_garage> same here, it might get into the 60's
[02:27:58] <Danimal_garage> :)
[02:28:52] <Tom_itx> pfft
[02:29:08] <Tom_itx> how you comin on the mill update?
[02:29:21] <Danimal_garage> working on the enclosure now
[02:29:32] <Tom_itx> did you ditch the big one?
[02:30:16] <Tom_itx> and did you find another transformer?
[02:31:36] <Danimal_garage> i ditched the nastiest one, i got another slightly smaller one to replace it, so there's 2 enclosures, 3 if you count the smaller one for the monitor and buttons
[02:31:56] <Danimal_garage> i got the old enclosure that i'm keeping all cleaned up and repainted
[02:32:14] <Danimal_garage> now im just laying out the pannel
[02:33:07] <Tom_itx> you know we expect pics right?
[02:34:08] <Danimal_garage> sure, when it's to the point where there's something to take pics of
[02:36:35] <Danimal_garage> i got a 24x20x11 enclosure and a 30x20x11 enclosure
[02:36:58] <Tom_itx> i wish i had a small one for mine
[02:37:02] <Danimal_garage> the bigger one is for the servo amps, computer, and mesa cards
[02:37:24] <Tom_itx> all the electrical pannels i find are too thin
[02:37:32] <Danimal_garage> the smaller one is for all ac stuff, power supply, and dc spindle controller
[02:37:35] <Tom_itx> and i'm not gonna spend much on it
[02:38:19] <Danimal_garage> i got a 24x14x4 for the touch screen, mpg, and buttons to go in
[02:38:33] <ssi> it's 38 here :P
[02:38:40] <Danimal_garage> look for machinery dismantlers, they'll usually be happy to give you one
[02:44:15] <Tom_itx> i've looked around the few surplus places i go but they don't deal alot in machinery

[03:33:06] <Danimal_garage> in one of the enclosures
[03:34:15] <Danimal_garage> i made a streel frame that holds the motherboard, 5i20, hard drive, and power supply in less than an 8x8x8" cube
[03:34:31] <Danimal_garage> open frame chassis basically
[03:34:43] <Tom_itx> fanless mb?
[03:34:47] <Danimal_garage> yea
[03:34:55] <Danimal_garage> 525
[03:35:06] <Tom_itx> i think i'd put one on or near it somewhere
[03:35:07] <Tom_itx> yep
[03:35:35] <Tom_itx> or direct the case fan over it at least
[03:36:34] <Danimal_garage> i dont have any issues with the other machine
[03:36:41] <Danimal_garage> it has the same setup
[03:37:11] <Danimal_garage> arent they designed to be fanless?
[03:37:18] <Danimal_garage> i thought that was the point
[03:37:24] <Tom_itx> yeah
[03:37:40] <Tom_itx> i figured it could get pretty warm in a shop environment though
[03:37:57] <Tom_itx> my itx will cut out in the garage if it's a hot day
[03:38:08] <Tom_itx> it's old and has a cpu fan too
[03:38:17] <Danimal_garage> coolest room in the house, it's the only one with insulation and air conditioning lol
[03:39:51] <Danimal_garage> i think it'll be fine, it's a pretty big enclosure, and the heat sink for the servo drives are outside of it
[03:45:34] <jdhNC> any motor rebuilding experts?
[03:46:13] <jdhNC> I have a 1/4HP permanent magnet DC motor. One of the magnets came loose. Does it matter which way I put it back in?
[03:46:26] <Tom_itx> probably so
[03:46:42] <Tom_itx> check it against the other one and see if it attracts / repels if you turn it
[03:47:06] <jdhNC> depending on what part you get close to first, it does both, from each side
[03:47:44] <Tom_itx> look closely at how it was mounted to see if there are any signs as to which way it was oriented
[03:48:12] <jdhNC> nothing obvious, I tried that too
[03:48:29] <Tom_itx> it probably _does_ matter
[03:48:42] <jdhNC> I'm 50/50 on that.
[03:48:55] <jdhNC> I'm pretty sure that it really does matter, or it doesn't.
[03:53:53] <Tom_itx> that's the whole point of a dc motor, the field reverses as it passes by the magnet and is attracted to the other one. orientation matters.

[16:16:22] <JT-Shop> well if I'm sitting here on the windoze computer and typing out a g code file then send it to say the lathe it's owner is nobody so I have to copy and paste or chmod to edit it
[16:16:43] <jdhNC> samba has a file create mask
[16:17:22] <JT-Shop> is that something you configure?
[16:17:30] <jdhNC> or you can make samba think your windows computer is your local user and the files will belong ot you
[16:17:46] <JT-Shop> how do I do that?
[16:19:11] <jdhNC> look in /etc/samba/smb.conf for the create mask
[16:19:32] <jdhNC> you can make it 775 if you don't really care about security
[16:20:50] <jdhNC> or you can set up a username map that will map that windows box to your local user so all files created/touched by the winbox will be owned by you

[19:36:14] <cradek> use a 1/4" square tool?
[19:36:23] <jdhNC> move on
[19:37:31] <jdhNC> (re: dad)
[19:37:42] <danimal_laptop> a square endmill?
[19:37:54] <cradek> no, like a lathe tool
[19:38:16] <danimal_laptop> yea i thought about shaping it but this is for production
[19:38:20] <danimal_laptop> hot rolled steel
[19:38:30] <cradek> oh, my sympathies then :-)
[19:38:36] <jdhNC> can you drill it then broach the radiuses?
[19:38:41] <danimal_laptop> i need something efficient and repeatable
[19:39:00] <cradek> sinker edm?
[19:39:03] <danimal_laptop> thought about that, i think it would just be a pain
[19:39:19] <cradek> can you change the design so it's at least not blind?
[19:39:33] <danimal_laptop> cradek: customer's part, can't really change it
[19:39:57] <danimal_laptop> it'll screw up a bearing surface if it goes through
[19:40:19] <jdhNC> does the blind end need to be flat/square or can it curve in at the end?
[19:40:21] <cradek> does it have to be square cornered, or is it just for a key?
[19:41:03] <cradek> yeah if it can be round, 1/4" carbide is a fairly stiff end mill
[19:41:17] -!- vladimirek has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[19:41:26] <danimal_laptop> it's for a key, i dont think round will cut it.

[19:41:56] -!- Calyp has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[19:42:06] <jdhNC> and a 1/4" key?
[19:42:10] <danimal_laptop> yea
[19:42:20] <danimal_laptop> 1 1/8 shaft
[19:42:38] <danimal_laptop> electric car
[19:42:59] <FinboySlick> A 500hp electric car sounds pretty neat ;)
[19:43:21] <danimal_laptop> most motors will be in the 200hp range, but i know of one which will be pretty high
[19:43:51] <FinboySlick> we just have to convince andy to don his egghead hat and invent us some proper supercapacitors.
[19:43:59] <cradek> you could make round-backed key stock for them!
[19:44:44] <danimal_laptop> i can send them out for outside processing i guess
[19:45:15] <cradek> I'd experiment with drilling or milling the majority of it and shaping the rest
[19:45:27] <danimal_laptop> it's 2" long
[19:45:35] <cradek> oh wow
[19:45:37] <danimal_laptop> makes it a bit of a pain
[19:45:46] <danimal_laptop> i think deflection is going to suck
[19:45:49] <cradek> yeah no kidding
[19:46:13] <danimal_laptop> even milling it
[19:46:35] <cradek> yeah 8*dia is way too long to mill
[19:46:59] <danimal_laptop> sinking it might be the best option
[19:47:10] <danimal_laptop> edm
[19:47:18] <cradek> but you can still drill the majority and shape, since your shaping tool can stick way out into the hole (think a 1/4" wide lathe parting tool)
[19:47:35] <cradek> sure but that's way slow
[19:47:44] -!- robh__ [robh__!~robert@5ace70df.bb.sky.com] has joined #emc
[19:48:02] <cradek> do you have spindle orient and lock?
[19:48:15] <danimal_laptop> no
[19:48:21] <cradek> arg
[19:48:26] <danimal_laptop> lathe or mill?
[19:48:37] <danimal_laptop> mill, no
[19:48:39] <cradek> you can shape on either if you can lock the spindle
[19:49:00] <danimal_laptop> HNC can lock
[19:49:00] <FinboySlick> danimal_laptop: Just for the sake of my understanding, you need to mill 1/4" keyway in a 1 1/8" bore?
[19:49:10] <danimal_laptop> yes
[19:49:18] <cradek> 2" long
[19:49:33] <danimal_laptop> cradek: think the hnc is up to the task?
[19:49:41] <danimal_laptop> or too gutless?
[19:49:42] <FinboySlick> As in 2" deep in the bore, but that isn't going through the whole part?
[19:49:43] <cradek> you could tryit
[19:50:05] <danimal_laptop> yes
[19:51:09] <danimal_laptop> hmm there's a bit of slop in the lock
[19:51:18] <danimal_laptop> i could make a bigger one i guess
[19:51:48] <skunkworks> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB4xUGZwUog
[19:51:52] <danimal_laptop> a slight taper to it
[19:53:02] <danimal_laptop> thats cool
[19:53:36] <cradek> skunkworks: looks like free-running spindle and g33
[19:53:37] <FinboySlick> If you have fairly fast movement, I'd be tempted to go the ramming a 1/4" wide tool until you hit the right depth, you could make the tool almost 1" thick so I doubt it would flex much.
[19:53:43] <mrsun> gah i need to become a doer ...
[19:53:58] <danimal_laptop> yea
[19:54:03] <danimal_laptop> i think it would work
[19:54:04] <FinboySlick> mrsun: You and I both! I still haven't put my new atom board to use
[19:54:07] <mrsun> boring a couple of holes and making a support for the lathes motor doesnt take a whole day, and then i would have a freakin lathe up and running
[19:54:35] <FinboySlick> mrsun: For me it's building an enclosure.
[19:54:36] <mrsun> i just complain all the time that its not running ... but do i do something about it? ... no and yes, i think alot on how to do it but then i never do it :P
[19:55:04] <mrsun> yeah i need to make some plates to protect the gears (old southbend clone lathe)
[19:55:06] <danimal_laptop> hell, the hnc tacoed a 1/8" thick plate of 6-4 titanium and cracked it as well when i accidentally rapided into it
[19:55:18] <FinboySlick> mrsun: There's a good side to this, you'll likely have your work all organized and planned when you do get to it.
[19:55:33] <mrsun> FinboySlick, yes, but it takes so long
[19:56:02] <mrsun> bought the freakin lathe half a year ago, the bushing was totaly worn out thanks to no one using oil in it the last centrury or two so ive made a new one and all
[19:56:37] <FinboySlick> mrsun: I have even less of an excuse than you. It's been a year and my mill is still brand new.
[19:56:50] <mrsun> haha =)
[19:56:55] <danimal_laptop> ooooh i got a furnace now, i can heat treat a nice piece of a-2 for the broaching tool
[19:57:11] <FinboySlick> mrsun: See? That's a doer.
[19:57:12] <mrsun> when going gets tough i decided to scrape my mill ... and well its been dismanteled for almost a year now :P
[19:57:21] <danimal_laptop> lol
[19:57:31] <FinboySlick> danimal_laptop: lead us, oh great guru of doing.
[19:57:35] <mrsun> haha :P
[19:57:39] <danimal_laptop> right....
[19:57:46] <mrsun> thing mostly for me is that i haev very little money
[19:57:53] <mrsun> so i lack the fundings for the tools i need =)
[19:57:56] <danimal_laptop> i've been on the interwebz all day, what makes me a doer?
[19:58:08] <mrsun> but now ive ordered sine bar and gauge bits so i can start making some more tools =)
[19:59:16] <Loetmichel> *grrr* ... working hard to get the wood cut straight on the bandsaw... and its smelling like burning wood... *hmm* mabe changing the blade would help? -> 2 minutes and the beechwood parts are cut to size and straight like a ruler , tooo... reminds me: that was the last new blar, getting some spare couldnt hurt ;-)
[19:59:19] <FinboySlick> mrsun: I say lack of money is just a convenient excuse. I have to actually work to figure out tools to buy so I don't pay too much taxes this year and I still don't get crap done.
[20:01:30] <FinboySlick> This reminds me... Since it was pretty much agreed that a C6 lathe isn't worth the money. Anything of similar or slightly smaller size you guys would recommend so I can add another to my collection of unused tools?
[20:01:48] <danimal_laptop> c6 corvette
[20:02:04] <danimal_laptop> better than a lathe
[20:02:38] <FinboySlick> Can't buy GM, they took government money.
[20:03:41] <Loetmichel> FinboySlick: c6 to small?
[20:03:48] <Loetmichel> what should I say?
[20:04:04] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=520
[20:04:13] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel: It's just a tad too big. I don't make very large parts.

[20:04:40] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel: Ooooh, that's roughly the right size.
[20:04:48] <Loetmichel> sure?
[20:04:58] <Loetmichel> thats mm not inch!
[20:05:04] <FinboySlick> Anything just a tad bigger?

[20:09:18] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel: I do 10l/100km 'rural' driving, which is sort of halfway between city and highway.
[20:10:15] <FinboySlick> But I only feed it super.
[20:10:24] <Loetmichel> if i drive only highway it goes down to 39mpg, if i drive only city its at about 23 mpg
[20:10:57] <danimal_laptop> mine says 20-27mpg, but i beat the crap out of it and i average about 23mpg, city
[20:11:05] <Loetmichel> nice that google can convert any unit you throw at it ;-)
[20:11:13] <danimal_laptop> yea i like that
[20:11:49] <danimal_laptop> averaging 80mph i get a little better than 27mpg
[20:12:12] <danimal_laptop> runs better at 80 than 70
[20:12:36] <mrsun> when looking around at scraping stuff i get more and more sad over how badly made machines are
[20:12:37] <FinboySlick> My car does 0.1687 barrels/furlongs.

[20:12:54] <danimal_laptop> lol
[20:13:13] <Loetmichel> hrhr, if i put the pedal to the metal i get only 15mpg out of it. but at 125mph ;-)
[20:15:37] <Loetmichel> if i put the autopilot in at 55mph i get about 52mpg out of it ;-)

[20:30:40] <FinboySlick> See? German, serious.
[20:31:10] <Loetmichel> .... to think i was THIS guy not tooo long ago... http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=3542
[20:31:30] <Thetawaves> i have a theory about germans

[20:34:47] <FinboySlick> Oooh... I'll treasure every one of those little typos.
[20:35:14] <Loetmichel> hrhr
[20:35:17] <Loetmichel> sorry again
[20:35:44] <Loetmichel> but i hope the meaning gets across ;-)
[20:35:54] <FinboySlick> Even more so.
[20:36:32] <FinboySlick> As danimal_laptop said, it sounds more realistic.
[20:36:42] <Loetmichel> so be it
[20:37:19] <FinboySlick> I do french-typos myself, but since it's so close to english, nobody notices.

[20:38:34] <Loetmichel> FinboySlick: thought so ;)
[20:38:37] <FinboySlick> I'm trembling with expectation.
[20:38:59] <Loetmichel> maybe more like "fear of the own courage"?
[20:39:01] <Loetmichel> ;-)
[20:39:09] <Loetmichel> *poke*
[20:39:14] <Loetmichel> :-)
[20:39:40] <FinboySlick> I'm not familiar with that expression actually.
[20:39:53] <Loetmichel> i meant Thetawaves
[20:40:02] <FinboySlick> Is it like finland's sisu?
[20:40:37] <Loetmichel> no
[20:40:43] <Thetawaves> Loetmichel, i regret mentioning it cuz you look quite respectable
[20:40:53] <Loetmichel> more like "coward" ;-)
[20:40:53] <Thetawaves> not my target audience
[20:41:21] <Loetmichel> Thetawaves: i can cope with it, let it out ;-)
[20:41:35] <FinboySlick> Thetawaves: Yeah, you've built it up now.
[20:41:40] <FinboySlick> No going back.
[20:41:55] <Thetawaves> hahaha
[20:42:29] <FinboySlick> Besides, we can all go find ourselves a swede to pick on later.
[20:44:18] <Loetmichel> FinboySlick: the expression means "to announce something and then retreat cowardly because fear of failing got greater than boldness"
[20:45:20] <Loetmichel> hrhr, the swedes are nice guys... mabe a french? i have some not so great experiences with them ... work related
[20:45:20] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel: What's the german statement/word?
[20:45:43] <Loetmichel> FinboySlick: "angst vor der eignen courage haben"
[20:45:52] <FinboySlick> Heh, they must have been from Paris.
[20:46:06] <Loetmichel> FinboySlick: and from cholet
[20:46:08] <Loetmichel> ;-)
[20:46:41] <FinboySlick> We have a frenchman here... Poor guy, Quebec must be harder on the french than the british themselves.
[20:48:35] * FinboySlick loves the Swedes, they're like germany with a sense of humour ;)
[20:49:27] <Loetmichel> things like getting my boss to send me 1200km by car to cholet (near nantes) and teach them how to service our computers... and as i arrive there there are 6 of the 8 guys that should have attended, and *surprise* NONE of them speaks english.
[20:49:29] <Loetmichel> ...
[20:49:53] <Loetmichel> and i had made it TOTALLY clear that i can only teach in english or german ...
[20:50:20] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel: Yeah, typically french :)
[20:51:09] <Loetmichel> ... not my problem, i also know how to be arrogant.
[20:52:04] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel: Heh, Parisians pretend not to understand people from Quebec when we understand them perfectly well.
[20:52:10] <Loetmichel> <- "Get a translator here. i have no time to waste on doing "baby english" so you can understand me."
[20:53:07] <Loetmichel> second surprise: two of them suddenly remembered enough english to translate for the rest ;-)
[20:54:34] * Loetmichel made the 1200km drive, sleeped a night, did about 8 hours of teaching and work and drove 1200km back...

[21:20:11] <CmdrData> Hi Loetmichel
[21:20:28] <Loetmichel> hmm?
[21:21:21] <CmdrData> I'm trying to measure atmospheric pressure now
[21:21:30] <CmdrData> I have a new MKS pressure transducer
[21:22:01] <CmdrData> I'm having trouble figuring out how to convert "inches" to standard PSIA units (which the MKS transducer outputs in)
[21:23:24] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel: Heh, I'm from Quebec, I'm not even supposed to have canadian identity ;) The bastards still worship the queen.
[21:23:49] <Loetmichel> FinboySlick: let them
[21:24:00] <CmdrData> LoL queen worshipers
[21:24:03] <Loetmichel> she's a nice grany
[21:24:07] <Loetmichel> +n
[21:24:25] <andypugh> CmdrData: Inches of mercury, water, or an unspecified alternative fluid?
[21:24:41] <FinboySlick> Did you guys know we still have to send her a tribute of x tons of maple syrup every year?
[21:24:42] <CmdrData> i dunno, some website says the current pressure is "17.72 in"
[21:24:47] <Loetmichel> andypugh: thats what i wanted to ask
[21:24:53] <andypugh> I wish she was my granny, I would get better christmas presents.
[21:24:55] <CmdrData> it doesn't say whether inches of mercury or water
[21:25:06] <andypugh> CmdrData: Mercury
[21:25:16] <CmdrData> how do i convert to PSIA
[21:25:27] <FinboySlick> CmdrData: Wolfram Alpha can do that for you.
[21:25:34] <CmdrData> my pressure transducer says the current pressure is 14.74 PSI
[21:25:41] <Loetmichel> whats the A?
[21:25:47] <Loetmichel> i know psi
[21:25:49] <jdhNC> absolute
[21:25:51] <CmdrData> A = absolute, as opposed to G
[21:25:53] <jdhNC> vs. guage
[21:25:57] <Loetmichel> ah, i see
[21:26:01] <CmdrData> G = Gauge or Gage which means a relative measurement
[21:26:09] <CmdrData> PSIG and PSIA are common for pressure transducerfs
[21:26:22] <Loetmichel> relative to enviroemt pressure i presume?
[21:26:42] <CmdrData> yeah so it would read "0.00" if the pressure is 1.00 atmosphere

[21:29:20] <CmdrData> yes i realize that the conversion is roughly 2:1
[21:29:22] <andypugh> CmdrData: Only true if the current ambient is 1.00atm.
[21:29:26] <CmdrData> but then it wouldn't make sense
[21:29:35] <CmdrData> 17.72 in times 2 is about 35 PSI
[21:29:38] <cradek> 17.72 doesn't sound like ~ 1atm in inHg
[21:29:50] <andypugh> No, but it isn't water either.
[21:29:56] <CmdrData> which doesn't jive with my reading of 14.74 PSIA
[21:29:56] <cradek> nope
[21:30:16] <cradek> % units 14.74psi inHg
[21:30:17] <cradek> * 30.010945
[21:30:29] <cradek> 30 is about right
[21:30:57] <jdhNC> 29.92 sounds familiar for 1ata
[21:31:11] <CmdrData> forget that website
[21:31:15] <jdhNC> for sea level and whatever else is standard
[21:31:21] <CmdrData> i think it's some weird inches unit
[21:31:36] <CmdrData> another website looks more standard and says the pressure is "29.88 in"
[21:32:05] <andypugh> Your 17.72 is (curiously) exactly right for inches of Osmium.
[21:32:14] <cradek> haha
[21:32:23] <CmdrData> Rofl
[21:32:35] <CmdrData> Osmium is not a liquid metal is it?
[21:32:45] <andypugh> It is if it is hot enough
[21:32:45] <CmdrData> well, at standard pressure and temperature
[21:32:54] <CmdrData> lolol
[21:33:10] <CmdrData> cool, they setup a heated barometer and then back calculated based on normal temp
[21:33:41] <andypugh> The web is probably the worst place to look for atmoshperic pressure, being not at all local.
[21:33:52] <CmdrData> http://www.wunderground.com/US/CA/San_Diego.html
[21:34:01] <CmdrData> that's where i got the "17.72 in" from
[21:34:40] <jdhNC> those are california inches
[21:34:53] <CmdrData> hahaha
[21:35:09] <CmdrData> is that why californians speed on the highway so much
[21:35:10] <FinboySlick> jdhNC: I hear everything is bigger in Texas.
[21:35:40] <jdhNC> that one weather station seems to be way off
[21:35:47] <andypugh> Osmium does make the shortest possible barometer, it isn't the least logical choice.
[21:36:06] <jdhNC> http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=san+diego
[21:36:17] <jdhNC> all the other san diegos look normal
[21:36:46] <CmdrData> i'm reading 30.001 in Hg right now on my transducer but it says it's supposed to be 29.88
[21:37:18] <Loetmichel> who supposed?
[21:37:30] <andypugh> Yeah, it can vary on a scale of miles.
[21:37:45] <CmdrData> some derp-tastic meteorologist took that reading in San Diego, CA
[21:37:47] <jdhNC> perhaps it is inaccurate, your a/d conversion is bad
[21:38:04] <CmdrData> Thanks jdhNC, you really investigated that for me
[21:38:22] <CmdrData> Yeah good point it could be my voltmeter is out of calibration
[21:38:44] <CmdrData> heh this could be a good way to calibrate my voltmeter actually
[21:39:11] <jdhNC> I have some freescale transducers and had a similar problem
[21:40:27] <CmdrData> i have the same freescale transducers lol
[21:40:34] <CmdrData> from some free event i went to
[21:40:52] <jdhNC> I paid ~$13 for mine
[21:41:03] <CmdrData> hahaha
[21:41:09] <jdhNC> what are you using for zero?
[21:41:17] <CmdrData> what do you mean
[21:41:38] <jdhNC> mine have a 4.5v span, but the zero is like 200mV nominal
[21:42:28] <jdhNC> but, it doesn't have to be 200mV
[21:43:48] <CmdrData> oh it's 0 to 5V span
[21:43:57] <CmdrData> 0 volts is 0 pressure
[21:44:00] <jdhNC> which one?
[21:44:14] <CmdrData> the MKS Baratron 850B
[21:44:46] <CmdrData> actually yeah 0 V is hard to read by an A/D converter on a microcontroller
[21:44:55] <CmdrData> would be nice if I could offset the zero point a bit above 0 volts
[21:45:05] <CmdrData> i see two adjustments on it for "zero" and "span"
[21:46:00] <jdhNC> I have some others similar to that. I have them hooked up to an ADS1100 i2c 16bit ADC

[21:47:26] <CmdrData> holy crap 16 bits wow
[21:47:37] <jdhNC> transducer->ADC->i2c->AVR
[21:48:58] <jdhNC> microcontroller built-in ADC's tend to suck.
[21:49:17] <CmdrData> wait are you saying the ADC outputs serially in another format, and then you have a separate IC doing the serial to i2c conversion
[21:49:28] <CmdrData> or does the ADC have a built-in i2c bus
[21:49:47] <jdhNC> the ADC chip has built in i2c
[21:50:03] <CmdrData> genius.....pure genius.
[21:50:08] <CmdrData> gotta get me on eo fthose
[21:50:14] <fragalot> 'cos it's T-N-T, it's dynamite!
[21:50:24] <fragalot> somehow ADC's remind me of acdc
[21:50:25] <jdhNC> they are cheap (for the slowish ones)
[21:50:25] <CmdrData> ?
[21:50:48] <CmdrData> do you also have an MKS brand transducer? and do you think it is very accurate enough to read barometric pressure fluctuations
[21:50:51] <jdhNC> actually I got all the ADS1100's free from TI as samples
[21:51:07] <CmdrData> ADS is analog devices dude
[21:51:20] <jdhNC> s/TI/ADS/
[21:51:41] <CmdrData> can you show me a pic of your pressure transducer
[21:51:47] <CmdrData> or at least the model # and make
[21:51:57] <jdhNC> I don't recall what my clunky metal ones are
[21:52:16] <jdhNC> mine are like 0-6kpsi, so they would not be suitable for atmospsheric
[21:57:08] <CmdrData> do you think they are sensitive enough to measure barometric fluctuations in the atmosphere
[21:57:19] <CmdrData> i mean, the one i have
[21:57:52] <CmdrData> because the pressure that it's made for is in the range of 0 to 50 PSIA which is more or less the same order of magnitude as atmospheric pressure
[21:58:22] <A2Sheds> CmdrData: can you raise the reference ground for your transducer?
[21:58:41] <CmdrData> yes it appears that i can, why?
[21:58:56] <CmdrData> actually yeah that would be the same as offsetting the zero point right
[21:59:01] <A2Sheds> yeah
[21:59:04] <CmdrData> from the point of view of the ADC it would be
[21:59:06] <A2Sheds> either way
[21:59:06] <CmdrData> damn, good point
[21:59:16] <CmdrData> so many smart ppl on this channel
[21:59:37] <A2Sheds> raise the bridge or lower the river
[22:00:18] <CmdrData> i prefer your method because then i won't have to mess with calibration
[22:00:31] <Loetmichel> basic circuit skills
[22:00:33] <CmdrData> if i fool around with the zero/span settings then it will be hard to get it accurate again
[22:00:41] <Loetmichel> nothing advanced.
[22:00:48] <CmdrData> Loetmichel, i am an analog and RF engineer and i did not even think of that
[22:01:01] <CmdrData> i guess i've been dealing with AC signals for far too long =p

[22:20:16] <CmdrData> it seems ridiculous to me

[22:22:10] <CmdrData> i'm sure you sell lots of stuff to Northrop Grumman, General Atomics, etc

[22:37:16] <andypugh> mrsun: How does the vice part work?
[22:37:34] <mrsun> andypugh, you just crank it and it holds just like an usual vice? :)
[22:37:52] <andypugh> OK, no bar?
[22:37:58] <mrsun> no bar ?
[22:38:08] <mrsun> dont know if something is missing
[22:38:13] <mrsun> found the picture at practical machinist =)
[22:38:23] <andypugh> I have to say, if I saw that, I would buy it :-)
[22:38:56] <mrsun> as a wannabe blacksmith also im realy thinking of adding something like that to my usual anvil =)
[22:39:05] <mrsun> as holding stuff can be such a freakin PITA =)
[22:39:43] <archivist> dont have time for a vice during hot hammer work :)
[22:40:10] <mrsun> archivist, when wanting to single handed puch holes etc it can be a real good thing =)
[22:40:22] <mrsun> atm i have just a chain running over the anvil to "hold" stuff
[22:40:29] <A2Sheds> I want a magic vise, holds anything at any angle, without getting in the way of the tool
[22:40:35] <mrsun> (ofc i have a threadle hammer also to do 3rd hand hard hitting) =)
[22:41:03] <archivist> make a steam hammer for real fun :)
[22:41:32] <mrsun> wouldnt want steam power close to me in any way :P
[22:41:43] <mrsun> tho going to one day build myself a air hammer =)
[22:42:22] <mrsun> and with the knowledge im collecting atm at the rate im doing it i think i could build a damn good one that wold hold up for a while :P
[22:42:24] <cncbasher> qrz ?
[22:42:41] <archivist> mrsun, http://www.claymills.org.uk/tour/smithy.html
[22:43:21] <mrsun> does cast iron hold any benefits to real steel in machines?
[22:43:26] <archivist> you can just see the hammer drivers head behind the hammer
[22:43:54] <archivist> cast dampens vibration
[22:44:02] <mrsun> ahh
[22:44:38] <mrsun> was thinking incase i want to make a milling table or something i know a guy who has 500kg air hammers =)
[22:44:52] <mrsun> and could make forged tables for me at any given size :P
[22:45:06] <archivist> better use cast iron
[22:45:21] <mrsun> harder to get cast iron if i want some special profile on stuffs :PO
[22:45:30] <mrsun> ok a milling table would be just a square piece
[22:45:34] <mrsun> but other stuff =)
[22:46:01] <archivist> just pattern making and any shape possible

[22:52:12] <mrsun> wtf is that :P
[22:52:20] <CmdrData> i wouldn't know lol
[22:52:23] <mrsun> its for the month before christmas whatever its called :P
[22:52:35] <mrsun> "advent" in sweden :P
[22:52:37] <andypugh> Just thinking that is, technically, not Christmassy

[22:56:15] <CmdrData> i take it there aren't many jewish people in sweden
[22:56:32] <Loetmichel> as in tne biggest religous holyday in the year
[22:56:46] <mrsun> atleast sait stephen was christian :P
[22:57:48] <CmdrData> i wish i could have christmas in sweden with all the snow and real reindeer
[22:58:11] <DaViruz_> we have zero snow so far
[22:58:18] <Loetmichel> CmdrData; than you have to go WAY up north this year.
[22:58:28] <DaViruz_> this is probably the most snowless year i've seen in my life
[22:58:30] <CmdrData> why?
[22:58:37] <Loetmichel> over here in germany there is NO sigh of a snowflake
[22:58:41] <CmdrData> where do you DaViruz
[22:58:42] <DaViruz_> (i'm from sweden)
[22:58:43] <andypugh> I am going to Rovaniemi in january. That should be far enough north.
[22:58:50] <CmdrData> where do you live*
[22:58:51] <Loetmichel> and its about 10°c PLUS
[22:58:53] <mrsun> CmdrData, doesnt look like we get much snow and real reindeer? :P
[22:59:03] <DaViruz_> yeah, 10 degC here too
[22:59:12] <DaViruz_> wicked
[22:59:23] <mrsun> meterological winter has taken like 0.001% of the country so far :P
[22:59:31] <mrsun> usaly we have -20 degrees at this time of year ;P
[22:59:37] <mrsun> degC
[22:59:52] <andypugh> Saw -43 on the car sensor last year.
[23:00:07] <Loetmichel> andypugh: isnt that a city in finland?
[23:00:09] <andypugh> (At that point it doesn't matter if you are using F or C)
[23:00:25] <CmdrData> why do you think the winter is so late this year
[23:00:25] <mrsun> -40 they join right ?
[23:00:29] <andypugh> Loetmichel: Yes.
[23:00:35] <mrsun> CmdrData, fluke of nature
[23:00:42] <CmdrData> or global warming?
[23:00:45] <mrsun> gah
[23:00:49] <mrsun> dont even get people started
[23:00:55] <mrsun> global shlobal =)
[23:01:07] <Loetmichel> hmmm
[23:01:16] <CmdrData> i want to drive my Volvo in Sweden
[23:01:27] <DaViruz_> yeah last year we had the coldest winter i can rememver
[23:01:32] <DaViruz_> must be due to global warming!
[23:01:35] <CmdrData> I also would not mind going to Finland
[23:01:40] <mrsun> im just happy for every day i dont hae to mess with that damn snow =)
[23:01:43] <andypugh> Global Warming would make winter a day or two late (on the projected curve). What we are talking about here is technically called "The Weather"
[23:01:46] <Loetmichel> -40°c... the lappe kicks the tyre of his VW ands starts his lada ;-)
[23:02:29] <andypugh> He won't start his diesel Lada at -40.
[23:03:05] <andypugh> The big problem is that the battery chemistry stops working, so you can't crank.
[23:03:42] <andypugh> When it was -40 last year we were putting cars in the fridges to warm them up to -30....
[23:03:52] <DaViruz_> even gasoline is a bitich to ignite at -40
[23:04:04] <CmdrData> really
[23:04:14] <CmdrData> what's -40C in fahrenheit
[23:04:21] <andypugh> -40F
[23:04:23] <DaViruz_> about the same
[23:04:40] <CmdrData> huh?
[23:05:03] <DaViruz_> you're commander data, surely you must have that information in your data banks
[23:05:21] <andypugh> C and F cross at -40.
[23:05:32] <CmdrData> lol wtf
[23:05:46] <CmdrData> i didn't think about that, i assumed -40C would be like -100 F
[23:05:58] <DaViruz_> mr farenheit thought i could create absolute zero with ice and salt
[23:06:09] <DaViruz_> he*
[23:06:12] <andypugh> That's not quite fair
[23:06:16] <CmdrData> so where do you live Viruz?
[23:06:21] <DaViruz_> still sweden
[23:06:30] <CmdrData> still?
[23:06:37] <CmdrData> or is Still the name of the city
[23:06:44] <DaViruz_> 23:58:41 < CmdrData> where do you DaViruz
[23:06:44] <DaViruz_> 23:58:42 < DaViruz_> (i'm from sweden)
[23:06:49] <Danimal_garage> lol
[23:06:59] <CmdrData> Oh sorry i didn't see that earlier (derp)
[23:07:01] <DaViruz_> i have a still in my garage it that counts ;)
[23:07:18] <andypugh> -40C is -14.5 Rømer
[23:07:23] <CmdrData> i see the pressure has increased from 30.00 to 30.11 in the last hour
[23:07:33] <CmdrData> does that mean it's going to get hotter soon
[23:07:38] <andypugh> +210 on the Newton scale...
[23:07:50] <DaViruz_> andypugh: well at the other point of his scale he chose human body temperature, another entirely arbitrary temperature
[23:07:55] <DaViruz_> i can't forgive that
[23:08:01] <CmdrData> hahaha
[23:08:07] <mrsun> hmm, how to scrape a true square corner ...
[23:08:15] <DaViruz_> and to make matters worse he made it 96 degrees
[23:08:33] <DaViruz_> every detail of the farenheit scale is fucked up
[23:08:43] <CmdrData> you just love Celsius cuz he's swedish
[23:09:02] <andypugh> I think we should use Kelvin
[23:09:07] <CmdrData> in reality swedish cannot engineer a car as well as germans
[23:09:19] <CmdrData> you just like Kelvin because he's scottish
[23:09:36] <CmdrData> ergo, you must wear a kilt
[23:09:43] <DaViruz_> no i like it because it is based on two transistion temperatures of one of the most abundant compound on earth
[23:09:50] <CmdrData> Pugh is also a gaelic name
[23:09:57] <CmdrData> i figured you guys all out already
[23:10:08] <DaViruz_> kelvin would be fine too
[23:10:15] <andypugh> (Actually, back to the global warming thing, folk might be more prepared to believe that we can influence the climate if they realised that the projected increase is 4 degrees in 300, not in 20.
[23:10:17] <DaViruz_> but i don't see it getting widespread use anytime soon
[23:10:42] <andypugh> Pugh is a Welsh name.
[23:10:44] <CmdrData> 4 degreees is a lot dude
[23:10:45] <DaViruz_> 4 degrees in 300 what?
[23:10:57] <CmdrData> 300 years
[23:11:06] <CmdrData> 300 jahre
[23:11:26] <andypugh> 4 degrees increase on a current level of around 300.
[23:11:27] <DaViruz_> and furthermore, i drave a german car, and i don't like any of the swedish car brands very much
[23:11:44] <CmdrData> Volvo was the shit back when i bought mine

[23:12:14] <DaViruz_> (i don't get it)
[23:12:25] <CmdrData> 4 degrees in 300 years
[23:12:29] <CmdrData> not in 20 years
[23:12:38] <JT-Shop> finally got internet back up
[23:13:07] <DaViruz_> CmdrData: that's not what he said
[23:13:27] * JT-Shop hates loosing internet right in the middle of a conversation
[23:13:36] <CmdrData> i guess i'm dumb then
[23:14:00] <andypugh> No. What I am saying is that average ambient temperature is somewhere are around 280K. An increase of 4 degrees on top of that isn't a very large proportional change. Unlike comparing a 4 degree increase to an ambient of 15.
[23:14:21] <DaViruz_> andypugh: i see
[23:14:31] <DaViruz_> kelvin isn't expressed in degrees
[23:15:02] <DaViruz_> i guess that's why i lost you
[23:15:10] <andypugh> (I read a report from a yacht skipper a while back talking about "the temperature has doubled in less than a day". I hope not)
[23:15:50] <andypugh> DaViruz_: I never gave the 300 in degrees, just the increase. :-)
[23:16:00] <DaViruz_> i asked 300 what, and you said degrees
[23:16:01] <DaViruz_> :)
[23:16:38] <andypugh> Yes, well, err, I was discussing singing groups of the 60s at that point..

[23:18:04] <DaViruz_> also, saying that the temperature doubled, even if he is referring to the celsius scale or something, seems like a pratty lame observation to make
[23:18:12] <DaViruz_> that informatino is entirely useless
[23:18:23] <DaViruz_> and could even mean that it got colder if it was already sub-zero
[23:18:28] <andypugh> Quite. I winced as I read it.

[23:49:18] <DaViruz_> ooh metric!
[23:49:23] <DaViruz_> :)
[23:50:23] <andypugh> Do they make Imperial screws that small? (I know that Whitworth went down to 0.010" / 1000tpi..
