[13:06:21] <mazafaka> how bandsaw differs from hacksaw?
[13:07:50] <Jymmm> When the blade breaks, it'll take your face and hands with it
[13:09:06] <mazafaka> not at all, it just stops to move. I used horizontal bandsaws alot
[13:09:29] <mazafaka> (I used wikipedia to find what they are)
[13:09:59] <mazafaka> jthornton: What do you think of my last words about the wood stove?
[13:12:23] <jthornton> I think what ever scheme works for you is the best way to do it
[13:13:44] <mazafaka> i thought of not spending too much of the Earth's resources, you know
[13:15:23] <jthornton> I guess that depends on your location and the sustainability of those resources if you mean the wood your burning.
[13:16:53] <mazafaka> it can be -40 celsius, but about -7...-9 this time
[13:17:34] <mazafaka> deadliest cold when you can not actually squeeze the door key properly
[13:21:17] <jthornton> yes, I'm familiar with -35c temperatures in the state where I was born and raised we lived in the temperate part where the winters were sort of mild compared to the rest of the state

[13:49:24] <jthornton> kinda like a basic jeep knock off
[13:49:31] <jthornton> gas engine?
[13:51:59] <Mjolinor> live axels :o
[13:52:15] <Mjolinor> or even axles
[13:52:50] <mazafaka> unconvinient for jeep gasoline engine
[13:53:10] <mazafaka> spends about 10-11 up to 16-17 litres per 100 km

[14:08:34] <pccnc> hey JT-Shop, happy new year...
[14:10:01] <pccnc> i am using thc comp.. finally its working. but i have 2 issues...Z goes up whenever i abort the running program or it finishes smoothly...i read on forums and downloaded latest 2.4.7 source code but still same problem is there...
[14:10:11] <pccnc> can you give me GIT link with up to date thc comp???
[14:10:56] <pccnc> one more thing z axis is moving to correct posiition but AXIS GUI doesnt show any changes in Z...
[14:11:03] <pccnc> i think both are related to same...
[14:11:45] <pccnc> another question is should i use F+ or F- i am using MESA 7I43 and modified HAL file accordingly
[14:15:49] <pccnc> anyone here??
[14:34:07] <cpresser> pccnc: the reason you dont see the changed position in axis is based on how the comp works
[14:34:54] <cpresser> since the comp does not change the position defined via gcode, but rather adds/sustracts values to the commanded position, you wont see this in axis
[14:35:11] <cpresser> but you are free to add a pyvcp-widget displaying the involved hal-values
[14:47:52] -!- sumpfralle [sumpfralle!~lars@31-16-115-146-dynip.superkabel.de] has joined #emc
[14:49:41] <pccnc> thanks cpresser... but cant we make to change actual position???
[14:50:04] <pccnc> actually i dont have knowledge or hal programming.. and what about jumps at end of motion
[15:00:19] <cpresser> why would you want to change the programmed position?
[15:00:36] <JT-Shop> adding to what cpresser said are you moving the Z in a positive direction after cutting to remove any offset?
[15:00:38] <cpresser> if you want to change that, change the program :)
[15:01:12] <JT-Shop> and as I said before 2.4.7 is the latest version of the thc.comp iirc
[15:03:11] <JT-Shop> this is the git link http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb
[15:04:46] <JT-Shop> the thc history http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=emc2.git;a=history;f=src/hal/components/thc.comp;h=1afa4acfb63567eff604d9b7694c085a833e4928;hb=HEAD

[15:07:31] <pcw_home> F+ or F- are just inverted from each other. they both have the same frequency so if tiy use it single ended either will work
[15:07:33] <pcw_home> Its a differential output so if you have noise problems or need to go a long way with the signal you can use a differential receiver
[15:08:49] <JT-Shop> Hi Peter!
[15:09:01] <pcw_home> HNY JT
[15:09:10] <JT-Shop> HNY
[15:09:28] <JT-Shop> I forget F- F+ are on the THCAD card?
[15:09:38] <pcw_home> Yes
[15:11:06] <pcw_home> So if its 50 feet or so from the computer you use a differential receiver(encoder input probably)
[15:12:00] <JT-Shop> so, I'm safe the THCAD card is <12" from the 7i76 card :)
[15:12:16] <JT-Shop> I need to get that change over done soon
[15:13:00] <JT-Shop> pccnc: ^^
[15:22:08] <emcrules> JT-Shop: did you get my message?

[15:36:52] <JT-Shop> emcrules: yes, I need to look in mine but I have 3 start caps
[15:37:59] <JT-Shop> pccnc: yes, that is a short coming with the thc comp when you hit ESC the Z will travel to the EMC commanded position
[15:38:03] <JT-Shop> at a rapid rate
[15:38:35] <pccnc> is there any workaround for this???
[15:38:36] <JT-Shop> pccnc: do you do a Z up move at the end of your cut?
[15:38:49] <pccnc> may be let me check it...
[15:39:05] <pccnc> m using different pc...
[15:39:20] <JT-Shop> you MUST move Z up at the end of the cut after the torch is off or the offset will not get removed
[15:40:53] <JT-Shop> the only workaround is to get someone smarter than me to look at the thc comp...
[15:42:14] <pccnc> no there is no Z word in whole program.. and i am not using Touch off.. i manually set the z than start the program with THC Enable
[15:43:10] <JT-Shop> after you turn the torch off with M5 you MUST move Z up to remove any offsets
[15:43:12] <pccnc> so may be the last jog on Z is upward +Z.. should i check it with -Z
[15:43:24] <pccnc> ok got it..
[15:43:34] <pccnc> how many MM should i move z up???
[15:43:34] <pcw_home> Wouldnt you want Z up when you are done anyway (for maximum torch clearance?)
[15:43:44] <JT-Shop> I do
[15:43:58] <JT-Shop> to clear tip ups when traversing to next cut
[15:44:32] <pccnc> you mean everytime i use M5 i need to move z up right?? any specific value ???
[15:46:18] <pccnc> pcw_home: my frequency fluctuates sometime.. is it normal ?? i am plannic to put THCAD in Plasma unit itself? my HyperTherm have space.. and than use differential signal to eliminate noise... is there any prblem if i put THCAD in Plasma unit???
[15:46:20] <JT-Shop> yep, any offset will get removed at the rate of change per cycle so the distance depends on how much offset, direction of offset and rate of change. So I can't say a value
[15:47:01] <pccnc> pcw_home: distance between Plasma and THCAD is 8-10feet.. and plasma gives 7.5volt max...
[15:47:24] <JT-Shop> I just move up to Z0
[15:47:40] <pccnc> according to specs.. but i never got higher than 3.5v while cutting.. i tried it up to 6mm thickness
[15:47:58] <pccnc> thanks JT-Shop.. i will try it..
[15:48:22] <pccnc> which plasma u use? and how many volts u get??
[15:48:59] <pccnc> and what is volt tolerence u use?? @JT-Shop
[15:49:02] <JT-Shop> I have a Hypertherm 1250
[15:49:24] <JT-Shop> I use 2.0 volts tolerance
[15:49:26] <pccnc> grt.. its similar i think.. working on 7.5v max???
[15:49:40] <pccnc> you mean 0.2
[15:49:43] <JT-Shop> my output is 0-300v
[15:50:12] <pccnc> oh ok.. i got 50:1 divider inbuilt..:(
[15:50:46] <pccnc> ok if 300v than 2v tolerence is fine.. ;)
[15:50:48] <JT-Shop> my divider provides 0-10v from the 0-300v
[15:51:10] <pccnc> and what are the actual voltage you got while cutting 5mm or less??
[15:51:29] <JT-Shop> tip voltage?
[15:51:33] <pccnc> you mean inbuilt divider or u made divider by urself??
[15:51:46] <JT-Shop> divider I made
[15:51:59] <pccnc> arc voltag i think... ODOMETER voltage ;) in pyvcp
[15:54:06] <JT-Shop> I use the recommendations from the Hypertherm manual for voltage and amps
[15:55:02] <JT-Shop> so 10ga 3.4mm 40amp 83volt 50 IPM that's 1270mm/min
[15:57:21] <JT-Shop> and my meter hovers right at the selected voltage so long as my velocity is proper for that cut
[15:58:50] <JT-Shop> if velocity is too slow due to fumble fingers or other the torch will dive into the work piece trying to get the voltage correct

[16:11:30] <pcw_home> Yes, it would have better following performance (you could actually use a full PID component)
[16:16:04] <JT-Shop> something like copying the pid loop calculation from the PID component http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=emc2.git;a=blob;f=src/hal/components/pid.c;h=8aabb87d72ffc937ddd276d3a061f84f83939e94;hb=HEAD
[16:16:28] <JT-Shop> or just some way to use the PID with I/O pins from the thc comp?
[16:17:14] <JT-Shop> crap the pid comp is 657 lines long :/
[16:19:50] <JT-Shop> I think it would be easier to just have a couple more pins on the thc comp to/from the pid comp :)

[16:21:58] <Ekkeri> it seems that it's not supported anymore
[16:22:08] <Ekkeri> so I will get the 10.04

[16:49:28] <robin_sz> sigh .. why ... why when I write to the serial port, does write(fd, buf, lenght) return that all the buffer was written, but nothing comes out of the port?
[16:49:49] <robin_sz> maybe I need to assert RTS?
[16:51:06] <jdhNC> how do you know nothing is coming out the port?

[16:51:35] <robin_sz> jdhNC, logic analyser hanging on the rs485 bus
[16:52:59] <robin_sz> its actually RS232 poer with a RS485 adaptor, I have had perl scripts use the same port fine and the logic analyser captured the data, so im pretty confidents its not making its way out

[17:24:32] <cradek> do you have to assert DTR to turn on the adaptor?
[17:25:42] <robin_sz> hmm,
[17:26:14] <robin_sz> Id like to read the state of the lines,
[17:26:34] <cradek> can you stick a 232 breakout box between the serport and adapter?
