[13:19:20] <Loetmichel_> mrsun: for ac some windings around the primary power live cable is the better way.
[13:19:41] <mrsun> Loetmichel_, was that i ment with the wire around the pin :P
[13:19:43] <Loetmichel_> Even isolated to the primary power
[13:19:57] <Loetmichel_> unlike your circuit ;-)
[13:20:01] <mrsun> that you just warp some cable around the live cable and get some induced voltage =)
[13:20:09] <mrsun> Loetmichel_, was an example circuit i found =)
[13:21:09] <Loetmichel_> 0.1 Ohm is a bit high, though
[13:22:16] <mrsun> as low as possible imo and then use an opamp to get the reading higher before adc =)
[13:22:20] <Loetmichel_> that would be around 1,6V for 16A and about 26Watts for the resistor. NOT a good idea if it cant cope with that ;-)
[13:23:34] <mrsun> http://circuits.linear.com/images/circuits/236_circuit_1.jpg thats more like it =)

[16:37:28] <pcw_home> My take on this is that LinuxCNC can close the velocity loop with a torque mode drive but this requires a faster servo thread than normal
[16:37:30] <pcw_home> that is, LinuxCNC can make a velocity mode drive out of a torque mode drive. LinuxCNC and most LinuxCNC supported hardware has good
[16:37:32] <pcw_home> velocity estimation so can do just about as well as tachometer feedback velocity mode drives with a torque mode drive. The advantage of a torque mode drive
[16:37:33] <pcw_home> is that you know the force being applied to the load. This can be valuable for spindles and cases where you may want to limit torque (say during homing)

[17:24:17] <Mjolinor> I have a bolt 5.8 mm OD, pitch 0.5 mm
[17:24:28] <Mjolinor> is it a standard size, I can't find any reference for it
[17:25:05] <Mjolinor> i asume it is nominal 6mm, possibly metric fine

[17:26:18] <jdhNC> does it fit an m6x.5 nut?
[17:26:25] <Mjolinor> I dotn have one :)
[17:26:52] <Mjolinor> I have never even seen one, tahts my problem maybe :)
[17:27:36] <Mjolinor> it is the thread on the thing I am using for my Z axisa on this small engraver thing I am making
[17:28:03] <Mjolinor> but it is only 23mm of movement, if I could find a bolt with the same thread I could increase my movement to 50 mm or so
[17:30:44] <archivist> make one
[17:31:16] <Jymmm> Mjolinor: Sounds like it's time to hit the hardware store for M1, M2, M3, M4,etc nuts to test it out =)
[17:31:32] <archivist> not a standard metric
[17:31:46] <Jymmm> ah
[17:31:54] <Jymmm> imperial?
[17:31:59] <archivist> no
[17:32:59] <Mjolinor> i think it is bespoke
[17:33:05] <Mjolinor> cant find any refernce to it anywhere
[17:33:33] <archivist> it is normal to make specials for certain work
[17:34:52] <Mjolinor> it must be very well made, I cleaned it wiht alcohol and still its easy to turn but no backlash in tit that I can detect

[17:38:13] <syyl> wait a second
[17:39:15] <syyl> refering to DIN m6x0,5 is a standard size
[17:39:49] <Mjolinor> so where would I go for a bolt?
[17:40:01] <syyl> to the next lathe

[21:42:41] <Gromits> Anyone know offhand how to cause a message to appear in Axis (as various warnings do)? We have a custom M code and want to send a message to Axis rather than (in addition to, actually) std out.
[21:43:16] <cradek> you can do it with a gcode comment like this: (msg,This is the text)
[21:44:29] <Gromits> can we put that in the sh script for the M code?
[21:44:36] <cradek> no
[21:44:53] <cradek> for that perhaps check out the message hal component?
[21:45:06] <Gromits> ah, ok that is what we were looking for.
[21:45:10] <Gromits> thanks
[21:45:39] <skunkworks> Gromits: how is the journey?
[21:55:15] <andypugh> Gromits: Another way to print a message is from an M-code, have a look at
http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/component/kunena/?func=view&catid=21&id=16859#16878 et. seq.
[21:56:33] <andypugh> Also suggestions for ways to have voice prompts (M-code, MP3 and command-line audio)
[21:57:15] <cradek> http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2012/01/25
[21:58:15] <cradek> oh I misunderstood :-)
[21:58:57] <andypugh> Talking cartoons, I had a real one of these today:
http://www.xkcd.com/979/
[21:58:59] <cradek> hahahaha a png with the fixed message "Re-orientate [sic] part in vice [sic] !!"
[21:59:33] <cradek> I know it's a proof of concept, but still...!
[21:59:33] <andypugh> That's English.
[22:00:15] <cradek> it's the approach of displaying a png of text that makes it entertaining
[22:00:33] <andypugh> (Well, "Vice" is certainly correct for the poster, I am not sure about "orientate")
[22:00:40] <cradek> (msg,Text in whatever dialect you want here)
[22:00:53] <cradek> !!
[22:00:58] <andypugh> He wanted something visible across the room.
[22:01:42] <cradek> ok....
[22:02:01] <cradek> you still can't convince me it's not funny :-)
[22:02:35] <Gromits> Ok, the message component worked. Thanks! No need to display porn or female voices (yet :-)
[22:03:14] <Gromits> skunkworks: we have the machine working great....except the torch failed. I am taking it in tomorrow to be repaired :-(
[22:03:16] <cradek> I have always been able to notice when the machine has stopped and is waiting for me to do something, regardless of the size of text on the screen, but perhaps the situation is different in this case.
[22:03:22] <cradek> Gromits: yay!
[22:03:46] <andypugh> Well, am EPS would have been more efficient, and could be created on-on-the-fly...
[22:04:07] <cradek> or it could have two large flags and use semaphore
[22:04:53] <dvmirc> PNGs can be created on the fly as well :-)
[22:05:02] <andypugh> I wrote a Semaphore Tutor for the Psion Organiser. I used the Venus-de-Milo as the interlocutor.
