[00:03:51] -!- theorbtwo has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
[00:03:57] <JT-Shop> cool
[00:03:57] theorb is now known as theorbtwo
[00:04:53] <Danimal_garage> yea, i just made them about 8 rings, now they want to work with me to integrate some bash rings
[00:05:06] <JT-Shop> what is a bash ring?
[00:05:08] <Danimal_garage> good exposure for me
[00:05:24] <Danimal_garage> a ring that protects the chain and sprocket from trees, rocks, etc
[00:05:33] <JT-Shop> ah

[00:05:45] <Danimal_garage> probably a piece of polycarbonate
[00:06:45] <Danimal_garage> i hired someone to get me at the top of the google rankings as well
[00:07:26] <JT-Shop> cool, did it work?
[00:08:31] <Tom_itx> until someone else bumps him probably
[00:08:36] <Danimal_garage> i just hired him today
[00:08:50] <Danimal_garage> he's gotta work on it first
[00:09:02] <Danimal_garage> Tom_itx: perhaps
[00:09:12] <Danimal_garage> but if it works it'll pay for itself
[00:09:29] <Tom_itx> yeah
[00:10:37] <Danimal_garage> i have yet to find any advertising that wasnt worth it
[00:10:46] <Tom_itx> fill up a meta file with words
[00:11:10] -!- Thetawaves has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[00:13:21] <Tom_itx> <meta name="keywords" content= entire english dictionary>
[00:15:07] <Tom_itx> i wound up in russian electronics publications for my programmer with no effort
[00:15:32] <Tom_itx> ukraine stole the design
[00:16:05] <Tom_itx> they had to mod it though because they couldn't get the same parts :)
[00:16:56] <Danimal_garage> yea
[00:17:20] <Tom_itx> do you sell worldwide?
[00:17:27] <Danimal_garage> its easier for me to pay him for it. i'd spend more money on time for myself than i will for him
[00:17:30] <Danimal_garage> yes
[00:17:42] <Tom_itx> any problems shipping to any countries?
[00:18:04] <Danimal_garage> not too much
[00:18:13] <Tom_itx> i had trouble with italy, S africa and parts of russia
[00:18:20] <Tom_itx> but it was spotty
[00:18:32] <Danimal_garage> i did have a package that took a month to italy recently
[00:18:50] <Danimal_garage> i ship alot to japan, uk, canada, and AU
[00:18:52] <Tom_itx> that's somewhat common to russia
[00:19:01] <Tom_itx> au is about 14 days
[00:19:14] <Danimal_garage> singapore, russia, chili, brazil
[00:19:17] <Tom_itx> canadian post just down right sucks
[00:19:18] <Danimal_garage> yea
[00:19:22] <Danimal_garage> YES
[00:19:25] <Tom_itx> heh
[00:19:39] <Danimal_garage> israel sucks too, i actually banned that country from my site
[00:19:57] <Tom_itx> yeah i discussed it with a couple guys and decided not to ship
[00:19:58] <Danimal_garage> thats the only country i've banned so far
[00:20:01] <Tom_itx> one was in dubai
[00:20:14] <Tom_itx> he admitted he may not ever get it
[00:20:23] -!- Loetmichel has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
[00:22:00] <Tom_itx> but once the guys in customs all had one they started going thru fine
[00:23:27] <Danimal_garage> lol
[00:24:04] <Tom_itx> it sure seemed like it
[00:24:36] <Danimal_garage> i just noticed everyone was a dick about it there
[00:24:51] -!- AitalMAC has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[00:25:00] <Danimal_garage> the last guy that gave me shit i canceled his order and banned his country lol
[00:25:22] <Tom_itx> i initially started on ebay and had a guy in singapore screw me
[00:25:37] <Tom_itx> he waited like 3 days and filed a complaint
[00:25:49] -!- Loetmichel [Loetmichel!Cylly@p54B156EF.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #emc
[00:25:50] <Tom_itx> hell you can't even get it across the US in 3 days
[00:26:05] <Tom_itx> he just wanted a free one i'm sure
[00:27:43] <Danimal_garage> that blows
[00:27:59] <Tom_itx> ebay ALWAYS settles in favor of the buyer
[00:31:10] -!- rooks has quit [Quit: Ex-Chat]
[00:37:30] <A2Sheds> what overrides "MAX_ACCELERATION =" in *.ini ?
[00:38:05] <Tom_itx> max velocity?
[00:39:47] <A2Sheds> I used pncconf to get a new config and there seems to be no accel decel ramp even though i have accel set to 2mm/sec
[00:45:57] -!- toastydeath [toastydeath!~toast@c-69-140-223-139.hsd1.md.comcast.net] has joined #emc
[00:46:15] <Tom_itx> i set MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY in mine and didn't use acceleration
[00:46:24] <Tom_itx> stepper setup
[00:47:20] <danimal_laptop> A2Sheds: try a bigger value
[00:48:26] <danimal_laptop> there's the acceleration values in the traj section of the ini, but i dont think that overrides the max joint accel
[00:48:45] -!- toastyde1th has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[00:50:06] <Tom_itx> if you have acceleration in the joint do you need it in the traj too?
[00:50:28] <danimal_laptop> it was in there by default for my ini, but i dont think so
[00:50:42] <Tom_itx> it's commented out in mine right now
[00:50:51] <danimal_laptop> i dont use pncconf though
[00:50:57] <A2Sheds> I saved an older config a max accel is set to '2' and it works fine
[00:50:59] <Tom_itx> i did alot of fiddling with it and found what i have to be the best so far
[00:52:33] <Tom_itx> i'm not getting the feedrates i expected but it's a crappy little mill too
[00:53:00] <Tom_itx> with no ballscrews
[00:54:11] <A2Sheds> I have to run a diff between configs
[00:55:18] <danimal_laptop> A2Sheds: is the velocity the same for both configs?
[00:59:12] <A2Sheds> the angular velocity settings were different, now it's fine
[00:59:40] -!- micges has quit [Quit: Ex-Chat]
[01:00:30] <Danimal_garage> yay
[01:00:53] <A2Sheds> not sure how they effect each other yet
[01:01:36] -!- Nick001-Shop has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
[01:02:04] <Danimal_garage> i dont think accel is units per sec
[01:02:13] <Danimal_garage> its related to velocity
[01:02:36] -!- robh__ has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[01:02:48] <Danimal_garage> the accel on my lathe is set to 40, and it definitely cant do 40 inches in a second
[01:03:36] <Danimal_garage> i know if i toy with the velocity i have to change the accel too usually
[01:03:39] <A2Sheds> it's in mm/sec(squared)
[01:08:22] <A2Sheds> I haven't played with the debug setting in .ini

[01:16:54] <A2Sheds> is there a way to have EMC ignore a "joint following error"?
[01:19:56] <A2Sheds> FERROR and MIN_FERROR have a limit of 10
[01:27:23] <Danimal_garage> just make it 100
[01:27:39] <Danimal_garage> for tuning purposes

[02:00:05] <A2Sheds> Danimal_garage: if you attempt to set it to anything higher than 10 it defaults to 10, it's ok, I just wanted to be able to have the motor track the encoder when I moved the encoder by hand
[02:01:07] <A2Sheds> I can set the servo amp to torque mode and do the same in pncconf servo test in open loop

[02:15:54] <Turtl3boi> weeeeeeee
[02:16:22] <Turtl3boi> hey danimal how is that little mini lathe from harbfreight
[02:16:27] <Turtl3boi> is it any good bro
[02:17:25] <Danimal_garage> probably not
[02:18:26] <Turtl3boi> k
[02:18:44] <Danimal_garage> im the wrong person to ask though
[02:18:53] <jdhNC> it's fine for a cheap chinese small 7x
[02:19:03] <Danimal_garage> there ya go
[02:19:49] <Turtl3boi> if i want to machine bike head tubes on it
[02:20:07] <Turtl3boi> do you think it will accomodate up to a 1.5 inch diameter tube
[02:20:56] <jdhNC> if it wasn't very long
[02:21:44] <jdhNC> I don't think anyone would ever call them 'good', but how bad they are is up to the user.
[02:21:49] <Danimal_garage> gmx, road, or mtb?
[02:21:55] <Danimal_garage> bmx*
[02:22:10] <Turtl3boi> mtb
[02:22:25] <Danimal_garage> for who? yourself?
[02:22:33] <Turtl3boi> in order to install a integrated headset you gotta lathe out the bike head tube
[02:22:37] <Turtl3boi> for myself
[02:22:41] <Turtl3boi> i want to make my own bike frame
[02:22:44] <Danimal_garage> you build frames?
[02:22:48] <Danimal_garage> ah
[02:22:50] <Turtl3boi> i tried a little
[02:22:56] <Turtl3boi> with mild steel
[02:23:05] <Turtl3boi> i'm decent so far but i haven't tried on the high end steel
[02:23:07] <Turtl3boi> the ultra thing stuff
[02:23:15] <Turtl3boi> i also have tried aluminum or titanium frames
[02:23:19] <Turtl3boi> ultra thin*
[02:23:35] <Turtl3boi> modern steel mtb frame tubes are about 0.7mm thick
[02:23:42] <Danimal_garage> www.homebrewedcomponents.com
[02:23:42] <Tom_itx> carbon fiber
[02:23:43] <Turtl3boi> road bike tubes can be 0.4mm thick
[02:24:08] <Turtl3boi> carbon fiber is dope
[02:24:15] <Turtl3boi> i wanna try making a frame out of CF
[02:24:26] <Tom_itx> i think you need to bake it
[02:24:33] <Danimal_garage> i have 3 cf frames, they're the best
[02:24:34] <Tom_itx> but i know very little about it
[02:24:42] <Danimal_garage> not really
[02:24:55] <Tom_itx> depends on the resin i suppose
[02:24:58] <Danimal_garage> yea
[02:25:47] <Turtl3boi> http://www.harborfreight.com/8-inch-x-12-inch-precision-benchtop-lathe-44859.html OR this? http://www.harborfreight.com/7-inch-x-10-inch-precision-mini-lathe-93212.html
[02:25:54] <Turtl3boi> do you ride MTB?
[02:26:15] <Danimal_garage> yea
[02:26:20] <Danimal_garage> did you see the link?
[02:26:25] <Danimal_garage> thats my company
[02:26:33] <jdhNC> the 8x is a whole different class, much less sucky
[02:26:46] <jdhNC> (much less sucky, but it's still a chinese lathe)
[02:27:41] <Turtl3boi> holy crap that's your company
[02:27:56] <Danimal_garage> yea
[02:27:57] <Turtl3boi> so jdh i guess i should get the 8x12
[02:28:00] <Turtl3boi> it does look more beastly
[02:28:20] <Turtl3boi> so danimal did you go to that san diego custom bike show
[02:28:24] <Danimal_garage> all made on emc powered machines!
[02:28:36] <Danimal_garage> yea i had a booth for the past 2 years
[02:29:05] <Turtl3boi> lol i went 3 years ago
[02:29:11] <jdhNC> I know nothing of bike parts, but the prices look too low.
[02:30:58] <Turtl3boi> do you actually machine those chainrings
[02:31:09] <Turtl3boi> or do you just buy them from someone else
[02:31:09] <Danimal_garage> i do everything, yes
[02:31:24] <Turtl3boi> nice man, nice
[02:31:33] <Turtl3boi> have you ever made your own frame before?
[02:31:46] <Turtl3boi> either weld or braze
[02:32:54] <Danimal_garage> na
[02:33:00] <Danimal_garage> not worth it to me
[02:33:11] <Danimal_garage> i can trade chainrings for them lol
[02:33:39] <Turtl3boi> hahaha i'm surprised chainrings make any money
[02:33:49] <Turtl3boi> doesn't sugino already make cheap enough ones
[02:34:32] <Danimal_garage> you'd be suprised..
[02:35:23] <Turtl3boi> well you make titanium and stainless chainrings that's pretty cool
[02:35:33] <Turtl3boi> i don't see those from sugino
[02:35:35] <Danimal_garage> i'm making some for specialized/monster's dh race bikes for next year
[02:35:59] <Danimal_garage> for the world cup, etc
[02:37:12] <Turtl3boi> hahaha
[02:37:27] <Turtl3boi> i'm surprised you make any money
[02:37:41] <Turtl3boi> nice though
[02:39:19] <Danimal_garage> why? it's a consumable, people use the shit out of them
[02:39:37] <Danimal_garage> i sell about 400 or so a month
[02:41:11] * Tom_itx wonders how many chinese women Danimal_garage has on staff
[02:41:31] -!- tlab has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[02:41:44] <Turtl3boi> 400 doesn't seem like much
[02:41:46] <Danimal_garage> depends on what you mean by on staff
[02:42:04] <Turtl3boi> let's say the average price per sale is $50
[02:42:17] <Turtl3boi> that's 20000 of revenue per month
[02:42:26] <Danimal_garage> and?
[02:42:31] <Turtl3boi> and i bet you make about $5k in profit
[02:42:38] <Danimal_garage> maybe 1500 of it is overhead
[02:42:42] <Turtl3boi> you're gonna have to hope that your revenue goes up
[02:42:46] <Tom_itx> take out material, electricity, lubricants, tooling....
[02:42:57] <Turtl3boi> that's slim margin dude
[02:43:08] <Danimal_garage> LOL
[02:43:21] <Turtl3boi> just keep marketing and get your revenue numbers up
[02:43:26] <Turtl3boi> then you'll be fine
[02:43:28] <Tom_itx> make a foundry and melt the chips down... you get more for solid scrap than chips
[02:43:28] <Danimal_garage> i have about $5 invested in each ring when it's all said and done
[02:44:31] <Turtl3boi> 7075 aluminum is not cheap
[02:44:33] <Tom_itx> when i ran that row of gridleys, i went thru a barrel of coolant oil a day generally
[02:44:34] <Turtl3boi> stainless ain't cheap
[02:44:37] <Turtl3boi> and titanium definitely aint cheap
[02:45:04] <Danimal_garage> cheaper than you think
[02:45:09] <Turtl3boi> danimal doesn't use coolant oil
[02:45:10] <Tom_itx> alot of it got spun out of the chips in the big spinner
[02:45:19] <Turtl3boi> he just blows on it with his air compressor
[02:45:20] <Danimal_garage> i sell a ti ring for $140, and i have $17 invested
[02:45:26] <Turtl3boi> hahaha
[02:45:34] <Turtl3boi> you serious?
[02:45:36] <Turtl3boi> titanium sheet costs a ton
[02:45:45] <Danimal_garage> 17/lb
[02:45:49] <Turtl3boi> 1/8" titanium sheet is insanely expensive
[02:45:50] <Danimal_garage> is what i pay
[02:45:57] <Turtl3boi> how the hell do you get it so cheap
[02:46:02] <Tom_itx> bulk
[02:46:11] <Danimal_garage> i have a source
[02:46:16] <Danimal_garage> and yes, i buy a lot
[02:46:18] <Turtl3boi> must be topsecret
[02:46:35] <Danimal_garage> well im not giving it out, they barely keep it in stock
[02:47:11] <Danimal_garage> my shop is in my garage, i barely have any overhead
[02:47:35] <skunkworks_> logger[psha]:
[02:47:37] <Turtl3boi> 400 a month doesn't sound like much still
[02:47:40] <Danimal_garage> i gotta pay the mortgage regardless
[02:47:45] <Turtl3boi> i hope you do more marketing in the dirt rag magazine and such
[02:48:13] <Danimal_garage> i think you need to work on your math...
[02:49:06] <Turtl3boi> just saying lol....
[02:49:17] <Turtl3boi> im' sure your biz will grow
[02:49:53] <Danimal_garage> i dont see how 20k in sales a month is poor for a 1 man shop with low overhead
[02:50:10] <Turtl3boi> no it's good actually
[02:50:14] <Turtl3boi> i'm impressed
[02:50:24] <Turtl3boi> and i'd still like a quick tour if you could
[02:50:35] <Danimal_garage> sorry, too poor, can't afford it
[02:50:39] <Turtl3boi> but then again it's not a big deal because now i see what you do
[02:52:44] <Turtl3boi> Hey man don't take what i was saying as criticism
[02:53:28] <Turtl3boi> i was just trying to get some details out of you and you have to sound suspicious to do that
[02:53:32] <Turtl3boi> =p
[03:01:20] <jdhNC> .msg turtl3head sure you can turn those out on a harbor freight mill
[03:03:56] <Turtl3boi> well i have to turn out the inside surface of a head tube
[03:04:03] <Turtl3boi> is that easy enough?
[03:04:07] <Danimal_garage> his dad wouldnt let him have it
[03:04:31] <jdhNC> move one, get over the dad thing
[03:05:23] <Turtl3boi> well i'm sure i can get away with the little harbor freight ones
[03:05:27] <Turtl3boi> like he mini mills and micro lathes
[03:05:39] <Turtl3boi> i just can't get away with a supermax
[03:06:12] <Tom_itx> have em bring in a Mori Seki and he won't be able to move it out
[03:06:51] <Danimal_garage> exactly
[03:07:18] <Turtl3boi> haha
[03:08:34] <Tom_itx> Okumas aren't so bad either and a little cheaper
[03:10:05] <Danimal_garage> if i had the room i'd love to pick up an sl0
[03:10:37] <Tom_itx> what is that?
[03:10:54] <Turtl3boi> Okumas?
[03:11:03] <Turtl3boi> sounds japanese once again
[03:11:16] <Tom_itx> they're good quality
[03:13:26] <Tom_itx> http://www.okuma.com/products/machines/vmc/mcv_series/mcv4020/
[03:14:46] <Danimal_garage> the japs make good machines
[03:14:50] <Danimal_garage> i have 2
[03:15:20] <Tom_itx> we had one with a pallet changer. i forget what model it was
[03:15:33] <Tom_itx> 2 pallet with ~90 tool changer iirc
[03:16:21] <Danimal_garage> nice
[03:16:31] <Tom_itx> http://www.clearwateren.com/
[03:16:42] <Tom_itx> that was his place before he retired and sold it
[03:17:23] <Tom_itx> i wired most of the machines to the engineering room for him
[03:17:52] <Tom_itx> dan, if you look close at the left pic, you can see the room for the screw compressor at the rear
[03:18:03] <Tom_itx> right in the middle
[03:18:33] <Danimal_garage> nice
[03:18:41] <Danimal_garage> wish i had that much space
[03:18:54] <Tom_itx> he started in a 24x24 garage
[03:19:00] <Turtl3boi> wow......
[03:19:08] <Turtl3boi> real estate must be cheap in kansas

[03:29:05] <seb_kuzminsky> it works for some things and not for others, it's a bit picky about its input format
[03:29:17] <alex4nder> ok
[03:29:21] <alex4nder> thanks
[03:29:26] <seb_kuzminsky> oh and it's incredibly slow - many minutes to make toolpaths even for a simple drawing
[03:29:50] <Tom_itx> what about sheetcam?
[03:29:52] <seb_kuzminsky> i'm pretty excited about freecad + opencamlib, but that's not up and running yet
[03:30:01] <seb_kuzminsky> i've never tried sheetcam - it's closed-source, no?
[03:30:06] <Tom_itx> i dunno
[03:30:12] <Tom_itx> never used it
[03:30:35] <Tom_itx> or that emc addin that jt likes...
[03:31:11] <Tom_itx> ngcgui or something..
[03:32:31] <seb_kuzminsky> ngcgui looks cool, but i've never tried it either
[03:32:44] <seb_kuzminsky> i think it's for "conversational programming"

[15:23:54] <jdhNC> yeah, I saw you pinged out
[15:24:28] <jdhNC> you need a username map
[15:24:46] <jdhNC> there is/was/might-be some gui samba config tool that will set it up for you.
[15:25:40] <jdhNC> or you can just change the samba create mask to be open so anyon can access files created via samba
[15:26:11] <JT-Shop> ok thanks
[15:30:30] <skunkworks> I don't remember how I did it.. I ended up asking on ubuntu forums as when I initally set it up - it would copy the files as read only. iirc
[15:31:32] <skunkworks> here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1719086
[15:33:06] <jdhNC> heh, didn't know samba would do that. That would be my least preferred way of doing it. Fine for a single-user box though.

[18:37:06] <FinboySlick> Something messed up with your python modules maybe? I don't have an ubuntu box handy but you could just uninstall and reinstall it.
[18:37:48] <FinboySlick> On gentoo, python modules need to get updated when you upgrade python so maybe it's a similar situation.
[18:38:42] <FinboySlick> gentoo has a python-updater script that scans for modules that are linked against an earlier version of python and rebuilds them.
[18:40:31] <skunkworks_> hey - reinstalling pyserial fixed that one

[19:03:41] <skunkworks_> (so there is already a sensor in the spindle (thermistor)

[19:04:15] <skunkworks_> I would just have to track it out once and it would be set
[19:05:57] <FinboySlick> skunkworks_: How big is this machine? I'd have never thought of factoring in thermal expansion.
[19:10:27] <skunkworks_> big
[19:10:29] <skunkworks_> ;)
[19:11:17] <skunkworks_> bigish

[19:12:11] <FinboySlick> It's totally awesome.
[19:12:43] <skunkworks_> cool machine - 60's vintage
[19:13:15] <skunkworks_> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39q6kvrSBSk
[19:13:27] <skunkworks_> there are a bunch of videos on that channel
[19:13:42] <skunkworks_> all done with emc2
[19:14:48] <FinboySlick> Setting up part on a vertical surface must be a bit tricky at times though.
[19:15:19] <skunkworks_> eh - works great for chip removal though
[19:15:50] <FinboySlick> Moves reasonably fast for an old granny too.
[19:16:23] <Turtl3boi> so Danimal can you sell me a chain ring at wholesale
[19:16:25] <skunkworks_> we made the conversion so it maxed out at 200ipm.. (what the original control would shuttle at)
[19:16:53] <danimal_laptop> i just scored a 4th/5th axis rotary table at the surplus yard!
[19:17:01] <skunkworks_> it originally had hydraulic servos. (we converted it to 80's vintage huge brushed servos)
[19:17:24] <skunkworks_> Danimal_garage: awesome! is it a trunion?
[19:17:50] <danimal_laptop> not sure what that is lol
[19:18:39] <danimal_laptop> http://www.cnc-rotary-table-tanshing.com/5-axis-rotary-table.htm
[19:18:43] <danimal_laptop> kinda like that
[19:18:52] <danimal_laptop> got it for $175!
[19:18:56] <skunkworks_> yes - trunion!
[19:19:03] <skunkworks_> Danimal_garage: wow - great find
[19:19:11] <skunkworks_> price of steel ;)
[19:19:13] <Turtl3boi> i got this monocog frame conversion
[19:19:21] <FinboySlick> It's bigger than my mill...
[19:19:35] * FinboySlick feels inadequate.
[19:19:39] <danimal_laptop> it's part of this big contraption, they didnt know what it was.
[19:19:47] <Turtl3boi> i'd like to convert it over to an on road bike
[19:19:51] <danimal_laptop> it was covered under some pannels
[19:20:04] <danimal_laptop> i gotta go pick it up, bbl!
[19:20:11] <Turtl3boi> wholesale chainring man
[19:20:14] <Turtl3boi> hook me up dan
[19:20:19] <danimal_laptop> no

[19:25:31] <jdhNC> get a bridgeport
[19:25:36] <Turtl3boi> can't convince my dad to let me have a humongous 1.5 ton mill in the garage
[19:25:44] <Turtl3boi> and we have a 3 car garage too.......
[19:26:01] <jdhNC> get a job, move out, be your own man
[19:26:09] <Turtl3boi> funny thing is i have my own place
[19:26:27] <Turtl3boi> but obviously living in an apartment you can't put a mill in there
[19:26:42] <Turtl3boi> i wish i lived in kansas or somewhere uber cheap so i could afford a place with a garage
[19:26:43] <FinboySlick> Turtl3boi: Just sneak it in when nobody's looking.
[19:26:52] <Turtl3boi> my dad has a bad temper
[19:26:59] <Turtl3boi> if i did that he would have a heart attack lol
[19:27:13] <Turtl3boi> where do you live Finboy?
[19:27:34] <FinboySlick> Turtl3boi: Eastern Quebec.
[19:27:47] <Turtl3boi> is real estate cheap there?
[19:28:05] <Turtl3boi> for instance, can you buy a decent house with garage for $100k or less
[19:28:22] <FinboySlick> Yeah.
[19:28:38] <FinboySlick> But you have to heat it up half the year.
[19:29:21] <Turtl3boi> Ahh that's true, i guess that's the nice part of living in california
[19:30:37] <jdhNC> that and the cheap ladscaping labor.
[19:30:45] <Turtl3boi> Rofl
[19:30:45] <jdhNC> err... landscaping.
[19:30:51] <Turtl3boi> i do the landscaping for my parents
[19:31:01] <Turtl3boi> i'm not going to hire cheap mexican labor
[19:31:04] <jdhNC> of course, you alwo have boxer and pelosi
[19:31:16] <jdhNC> and gov. moonbeam.

[19:31:40] <Turtl3boi> he's turned out to be a hardass
[19:32:36] <Turtl3boi> but in any case i'd rather live in arizona or nevada
[19:32:47] <Turtl3boi> LOTS cheaper and i don't mind the hotter weather

[19:53:41] <skunkworks_> Nick001-Shop: how are you burning the iso?
[19:54:04] <Nick001-Shop> windows with power ISO
[19:54:59] <skunkworks_> what happens?
[19:56:15] <skunkworks_> jepler: one more thing.. ok - first time start I get the python traceback error and halrun stops with arduino-analog-in-00 does not exits.
[19:56:26] <skunkworks_> second try it works
[19:56:38] <Nick001-Shop> burns ok and verifies - put it into the linux machime and I have to hit enter fast for a screen to come up -hit install and the screen sort of flashes a couple of times and blackness
[19:57:11] <skunkworks_> now if I exit the pyvcp - it takes a good minute before it seems to let go of the port so that I can run the the hal file again. Then it errors first - then runs.
[19:57:49] <skunkworks_> Nick001-Shop: what happens if you try to just boot off of the livecd?
[19:58:18] <Nick001-Shop> then I get zip untill I reboot and the same thing over again. New dvd player and hard drive but I know there working
[19:58:44] <Nick001-Shop> I do boot off of it - boot order is cd first
[19:58:58] <skunkworks_> so it seems you just get a blank screen when linux tries to boot (the install also runs the gui)
[19:59:23] <skunkworks_> is this a new machine or have you had emc installed before?
[19:59:51] <Nick001-Shop> it boots with a purple sceen with 2 icons on the bottom of the screen

[21:00:49] <Turtl3boi> so did you have to buy a new one at some point?
[21:00:59] <Turtl3boi> and if so, how much did it cost u?
[21:01:19] <alex4nder> I went down to the skateboard shop and bought some high-end rebuildable ABEC 7 bearings
[21:01:25] <alex4nder> it cost me $30
[21:01:37] <alex4nder> and I got 8 bearings, and only needed 2
[21:01:56] <Turtl3boi> lol you can use skateboard bearings
[21:02:25] <jdhNC> actually, skateboards use mill bearings.
[21:02:33] <Turtl3boi> ahh ok
[21:02:33] <alex4nder> yup
[21:02:49] <Turtl3boi> so i see some milling bits in teh background tehre
[21:02:58] <Turtl3boi> are those the ones that came with your Taig?
[21:03:14] <alex4nder> no
[21:03:43] <skunkworks_> alex4nder: nice work!
[21:03:46] <jdhNC> did your skateboard shop have odd size bearings or just 1 or 2 normal sizes?
[21:04:07] <alex4nder> just the normal sizes
[21:04:14] <jdhNC> I bought some super-cheap ebay ones the other day. I'm starting to rethink the wisdom of $1. ball bearings
[21:05:05] <Turtl3boi> so do you have any other videos of what you've done on your Taig so far?
[21:05:12] <Turtl3boi> (by the way, your garage seems very clean haha)
[21:05:29] <alex4nder> jdhNC: http://www.shortysinc.com/black_panther_bearings/abec7.html <- I bought these, I don't know if they're actually ABEC 7, since these are sold to skaters.
[21:05:59] <alex4nder> but these seem fine..
[21:06:25] <jdhNC> do you know the sizes offhand?

[21:19:00] <alex4nder> I have a toolamker's vise that I need to be able to clamp down.
[21:19:12] <Turtl3boi> so you hadn't really done any machining with your Taig so far?
[21:19:16] <Turtl3boi> is that what you're saying
[21:19:20] <alex4nder> nope.
[21:19:28] <alex4nder> I'm saying I don't have any videos.
[21:19:29] <Turtl3boi> interesting....you went straight to the CNC
[21:19:35] <Turtl3boi> before learning the manual operation
[21:19:44] <Turtl3boi> how come you didn't just buy the Taig CNC'd to begin with
[21:20:40] <alex4nder> no, I've been milling manually for a couple months.
[21:21:53] <Turtl3boi> k
[21:22:00] <Turtl3boi> darn take some videos of it next time!
[21:22:16] <alex4nder> I milled out the plastic enclosure that I mounted the geckodrive in
[21:22:42] <alex4nder> and random fixturing gear
[21:22:49] <alex4nder> but manual milling with 20 TPI screws sucks.
[21:25:51] <Turtl3boi> what kind of plastique was it?
[21:26:13] <Turtl3boi> 20 TPI? turns per inch?
[21:26:23] <Turtl3boi> were you using Delrin or ABS plastic?
[21:27:22] <alex4nder> this was ABS
[21:29:33] <Turtl3boi> how much have you invested total in this so far? how much did the CNC kit you bought cost you ? how much did the mill bits cost you?
[21:29:47] <alex4nder> I don't know, I didn't buy a kit.
[21:29:49] <Turtl3boi> (yes i know how much a Taig costs so i'm not asking about that)
[21:29:54] <alex4nder> I'd have to do some bookkeeping.
[21:29:58] <Turtl3boi> k
[21:31:13] <alex4nder> but the parts are easy to look up.. 166 Oz/in steppers, gecko 540, 45v power supply, etc.
[21:34:39] <mrsun> Just had an urgent vital job fail inspection.. why?
[21:34:40] <mrsun> because the operators never checked the parts or wondered where you get everlasting endmills from .... and the inspector handily always busily checked the part on the bench instead of the last one in the box....... one day he might notice he´s been checking the same part for 4 days instead of asking the operator for the last part machined
[21:34:41] <mrsun> ough _:P

[22:01:08] <Turtl3boi> wow......
[22:01:11] <toastyde1th> most usually do, is it full contouring or just indexing

[22:01:14] <danimal_laptop> pretty friggin stout, it says it's 500lbs

[22:03:36] <danimal_laptop> ah might be
[22:04:12] <danimal_laptop> that would make more sense based on where the lines are

[22:05:51] <danimal_laptop> toastyde1th: is hydrostatic bearings a good or bad thing?
[22:06:31] <danimal_laptop> the servos on it are about 400 oz/in
[22:07:32] <skunkworks_> any pictures?
[22:07:34] <skunkworks_> yet?
[22:07:58] <danimal_laptop> no, ill take some in a few
[22:08:17] <toastyde1th> i don't know what you mean by good/bad thing
[22:08:26] <toastyde1th> it's a very high load type of bearing
[22:08:39] <toastyde1th> but don't you dare try to move any of the axes by hand without the bearing running
[22:08:42] <toastyde1th> or you'll fuck the thing up
[22:09:49] <toastyde1th> hydrostatic bearings are how very very large machine tools run
[22:09:52] <skunkworks_> asus M4n68t-m v2 motherboard
[22:10:10] <mrsun> gah i want to have a foundry that can melt cast iron =)
[22:11:09] <danimal_laptop> toastyde1th: i take it there's better precision and rigidity over regular bearings?

[22:22:11] <danimal_laptop> i see oil sight lenses, probably for the bearings
[22:22:26] <danimal_laptop> so the hydraulics are probably for brakes
[22:23:42] <toastyde1th> hydrostatics have better rigidity but not necessarily better accuracy
[22:23:52] <sparrW> Tom_itx: sadly that chart starts too large for me :(
[22:24:29] <danimal_laptop> it's got a 6.5" faceplate

[22:27:16] <Tom_itx> sparrW, but it does show you that the dimensions are given
[22:27:37] <sparrW> Tom_itx: aye, thanks
[22:27:50] <Tom_itx> which was i believe your question

[22:29:50] <danimal_laptop> i need to make a hoist to get that thing on and off the machine i guess lol
[22:31:57] <Tom_itx> we'll call you Jt_jr
[22:32:53] <danimal_laptop> does anyone have any use for some cameras? i got some off of some machine, they apparently were part of a sensor or measuring device for a bending machine
[22:32:55] <Tom_itx> did that come with your mill?
[22:33:05] <danimal_laptop> no, i got it today at the surplus yard
[22:33:16] <Tom_itx> oh cool
[22:33:41] <danimal_laptop> i heart the surplus yard :)
[22:34:03] <Tom_itx> save the cameras and use them for xy alignment in emc
[22:34:19] <danimal_laptop> too much like work lol
[22:34:27] <danimal_laptop> there's 2 facing eachother
[22:34:34] <danimal_laptop> dont know much about them
[22:38:43] <Turtl3boi> give me the address of the surplus yard at some point
[22:39:04] <danimal_laptop> 1600 pensilvania ave
[22:39:09] <Turtl3boi> lol
[22:39:24] <danimal_laptop> just look up escondido surplus yard
[22:40:00] <danimal_laptop> i doubt there's much in there your dad will let you put in the garage though, most of it is large useless equipment
[22:40:16] <danimal_laptop> like conveyor stuff, huge server racks, ovens, etc

[22:56:46] <Nick001-Shop> Can I get 2.4.7 loaded into 8.04 rather than getting ubuntu 10.04
[22:57:05] -!- mhaberler has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[22:57:05] mhaberler_ is now known as mhaberler
[22:57:44] <PCW> I think you can use the latest master with 8.04
[22:58:22] <PCW> take a look at what the buildbot makes
[22:58:37] <Nick001-Shop> what's a master? I know - dumb question
[23:00:18] <PCW> The current development branch (and 2.5 is the current pre-release branch)
[23:00:20] <PCW> I may not be totally buzzword correct
[23:01:33] <PCW> so 2.47 and 2.5 are both available from the buildbot for Hardy and Lucid (8.04 and 10.04)
[23:08:01] <Nick001-Shop> good - found the wiki with the info so I'll be doing that tomorrow. Need to put another HD in so I can go back to the working system incase I screw it up -) Thanks for the info
