[00:00:25] <robin_sz> I would still get leather gloves
[00:00:39] <robin_sz> hands get hurt easy
[00:00:42] <mazafaka> In MX boots, leg is protected from the side, right?
[00:01:12] <mazafaka> robin_sz: last summer, I had fallen from MTB and deeply scratched the palms
[00:01:13] <robin_sz> yep
[00:01:29] <robin_sz> leather MX gloves would save you
[00:01:52] <robin_sz> MX gear and MTB gear will be similar
[00:01:55] <mazafaka> I know of cases when a car hits bike from the side, and riders say 'only boots have saved my legs'
[00:02:00] <robin_sz> MX a bit tougher
[00:02:02] <robin_sz> yep
[00:02:31] <robin_sz> MX boots no good for MTB bike though, wont pedal in those :)
[00:02:52] <robin_sz> good for all biking on rough roads though
[00:02:59] <mazafaka> So, MX gear can slide a little on a rough tarmac, or they will grip it too much so I can not protect myself from falling further?
[00:03:19] <robin_sz> MX gear tends to have impact protection
[00:03:25] <robin_sz> but not much sliding protection
[00:03:46] <robin_sz> its OK so say 40 kmh?
[00:04:04] <mazafaka> :) heh, cycling in boots is tricky. Legs in some boots just move aside on the pedals when you land on e.g. stairs on a hardtail.
[00:04:12] <robin_sz> yep
[00:04:19] <robin_sz> MTB has different needs
[00:04:24] <mazafaka> 40 km/h is rather OK for a bicycle
[00:04:28] <robin_sz> yep
[00:04:47] <robin_sz> so you can choose
[00:05:07] <robin_sz> I dont ride bicycle only moto
[00:05:23] <robin_sz> I wuold get some good MX leather gloves, save your hands
[00:05:26] <mazafaka> I think of road gears, anyway.
[00:05:39] <robin_sz> road gear is for road bikers .. 200 kmh +
[00:05:55] <mazafaka> save from scratches, but does not protect from rough surfaces like tarmac?
[00:06:20] <mazafaka> oh, didn't think of it
[00:06:24] <robin_sz> MX gear is OK to 40 kmh, saves from bruises, some scratches
[00:06:38] <robin_sz> road gear is OK to 200 kmh, but not flexible ...
[00:06:48] <robin_sz> too heavy for mtb
[00:06:57] <mazafaka> I fear of rough tarmac, and some type of gravel roads
[00:07:01] <robin_sz> yeah
[00:07:22] <robin_sz> MX jackets I would look at
[00:07:26] <robin_sz> light
[00:07:30] <robin_sz> plenty of air
[00:07:36] <robin_sz> good impact protection
[00:07:49] <robin_sz> and mx jeans .. with in built protection
[00:08:04] <mazafaka> some MTB gloves look like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/motocross-mx-racing-gloves-knuckle-protection-velcro-closure-Medium-/251044002270?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Gloves&hash=item3a736379de
[00:08:31] <mazafaka> there are no mx jeans :)
[00:08:38] <robin_sz> they look good
[00:09:15] <robin_sz> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UFO-MX19-MOTOCROSS-ENDURO-RACE-JEANS-BLUE-36-4294C-/270678117884?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f05ac4dfc
[00:09:51] <mazafaka> I don't know, I fear of something since I had seen photos of injured road bikers. Tarmac + stupid moments = harm
[00:10:01] <robin_sz> might be too heavy for MTB riding?
[00:10:27] <mazafaka> I thought jeans are made of cotton :)
[00:10:39] <robin_sz> MX gear will protect you .. depends if it has enough "air" for MTB riding .. you might get too hot
[00:10:49] <robin_sz> nope,
[00:10:55] <robin_sz> thats denim jeans :)
[00:11:02] <mazafaka> maybe heavy, but i never cycle in shorts or so. Skin must be protected at least with something
[00:11:09] <robin_sz> yep
[00:11:22] <robin_sz> skin + tarmac = pain
[00:11:39] <robin_sz> its like a giant grinding machine :(
[00:12:16] <robin_sz> http://www.newturfers.com/mwf/attach/16/168616/madrash.jpeg
[00:12:35] <mazafaka> I have seen worth
[00:12:46] <mazafaka> e.g. thorn apart bodyparts

[00:13:43] <robin_sz> you see, when you fall off, the road doesnt know if you fell off motorbike or mtb ... it chews you up just the same
[00:14:56] <robin_sz> anyway
[00:14:58] <mazafaka> I actually know nothing of falling from the motorbike. If you fall from MTB, it is mostly possible to fall happily protecting yourself pushing you hands in front of you. But bike may squeeze you and slide with you.
[00:15:29] <robin_sz> mmm .. I seen mtb guys pretty cut up
[00:15:57] <robin_sz> I fell off bycyles it always hurts

[00:17:18] <robin_sz> yeah
[00:17:54] <mazafaka> I only felt because of chain fails - it have started to fall of the gear, and leg gone down to the asphalt, And I hit several times and then felt on ahuge speed. A car could drive just behind me (modern Russian drivers aren't smart at all, kids of any age)

[00:19:38] <mazafaka> MX gear, its jeans, protect what? knees and what else?
[00:19:46] <robin_sz> hips
[00:19:50] <robin_sz> top side of leg
[00:20:01] cylly2 is now known as Loetmichel
[00:20:24] <mazafaka> With carbon thingies which do not restrict the moves?
[00:21:15] <robin_sz> msotly leather for amrasion
[00:21:18] <robin_sz> abrasion
[00:21:29] <robin_sz> and with sorbothane rubber for impact
[00:21:42] <mazafaka> I'll look if there's some Moto store in the nearest big city and visit it, ask for prices and sales and discounts
[00:23:36] <robin_sz> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTyrxhqN5ak
[00:23:37] <mazafaka> Seems like thoughtfull protection for sane rider. But I would be extra carefull for other vehicles' behavior and moves on the road. Some drivers show themselve with they style of driving, and this reveals and predicts potential accident.
[00:23:50] <r00t4rd3d> http://imgur.com/a/V6ggD
[00:24:23] <robin_sz> oh yes, watching drivers is something you learn quite soon on motorbike or mtb
[00:24:31] <robin_sz> you can see the dangerous ones easy
[00:24:34] <r00t4rd3d> finally getting enough parts to build trial and errors
[00:26:09] <mazafaka> Yeah... Another time has come on the roads... Some vehicle is always behind you, it's dangerous to cycling agressively, must be careful enough to not fall down on the road in front of the car which has no space to stop before you.
[00:26:19] <robin_sz> oh watch this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVN98EwM3l0&feature=related
[00:26:40] <mazafaka> Many people here have bought cars for themselves.
[00:26:55] <robin_sz> good mx gear often has thin sorbothane pads over the bones
[00:27:03] <robin_sz> hips, knees
[00:27:19] <robin_sz> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVN98EwM3l0&feature=related << very impressive :)
[00:27:43] <mazafaka> it's probably like resin sneakers and e.g. ecco shoes which are suitable for running 'just from the store'
[00:29:13] <robin_sz> similar
[00:29:34] <robin_sz> anyway, yuo can imagine it is good to have even 5mm of this when you hit the road
[00:30:27] <mazafaka> robin_sz: What do you think of the installation of MX front end and front and rear wheels with disk brakes to the 2-stroke 350 cc bike which dry weight is 160 kg because of heavy front end and wheels?
[00:31:09] <mazafaka> off course. besides, jeans always tear apart when you het the surface with the knees.
[00:34:38] <mazafaka> And, alwasy a happy case. Or whatever can happen with any good protection.
[00:36:17] <mazafaka> These ones look nice, but ends of the fingers aren't really armoured ( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WULFSPORT-WIGGSTYLE-MX-OFF-ROAD-MTB-ENDURO-BIKE-ARMOURED-WULF-MOTOCROSS-GLOVES-/190590712097?pt=UK_Cycling_Clothing&var=&hash=item72185d0435 )

[00:50:59] <jdhnc> anyone know of an easy to make, fairly accurate pwm->0-10vdc circuit?
[00:51:20] <robin_sz> jdhnc, yes, yes it is
[00:51:44] <jdhnc> cool, can you make it and send it to me?
[00:51:54] <jdhnc> or failing that, give me a reference.
[00:52:03] <robin_sz> its called a "resistor" and "a capacitor"
[00:52:13] <jdhnc> yeah, I wanted a little better than that.
[00:52:30] <robin_sz> what aspect of it do you want to improve?
[00:52:49] <robin_sz> basically, you need an input buffer
[00:52:53] <robin_sz> a RC filter
[00:53:15] <robin_sz> an output buffer (with gain trim to get 10V for 100% mod)
[00:53:18] <robin_sz> thats it .
[00:54:25] <jdhnc> so, how do you pick R/C for 100khz 5v pwm
[00:54:57] <djdelorie> or, for maximum overkill, an MCU or FPGA that measures the actual pulse widths, and outputs to a precision DAC... ;-)
[00:55:15] <jdhnc> djd: that's more likely for me.
[00:55:46] <r00t4rd3d> whats a good gantry height?
[00:56:24] <jdhnc> depends, what's your favorite color.
[00:56:30] <r00t4rd3d> mine is 18 miles too long atm, http://i.imgur.com/UnrMB.jpg
[00:56:52] <robin_sz> yep
[00:56:57] <jdhnc> heh... I saw that earlier and thought, damn, that's a really high gantry.
[00:57:02] <robin_sz> want a good plan?
[00:57:13] <robin_sz> use the same height as the base
[00:57:15] <djdelorie> mine is only 3.75"
[00:57:22] <robin_sz> or maybe 2 x the base
[00:57:30] <robin_sz> yes, your base is MUCH too small
[00:57:40] <robin_sz> 1 x base is strong
[00:57:41] <r00t4rd3d> i own all your base
[00:57:52] <ReadError> i want to build one out of 80/20
[00:57:53] <robin_sz> 2 x base is ok for light materials
[00:58:03] <robin_sz> all your base are belong to us
[00:58:14] <r00t4rd3d> my base is too small?
[00:58:16] <jdhnc> how think is your material. How big is yoru spindle. How much Z do you need
[00:58:20] <r00t4rd3d> my mom said it was average
[00:58:30] <robin_sz> she lied
[00:58:31] <jdhnc> that's what she told me too.
[00:58:44] <robin_sz> your mom said mine was just fiiiiine
[00:59:35] <r00t4rd3d> what else should I do?
[00:59:36] <r00t4rd3d> http://imgur.com/a/V6ggD
[00:59:45] <r00t4rd3d> tell me what i should change now
[00:59:59] <r00t4rd3d> besides gantry height but I knew that already.
[01:00:06] <r00t4rd3d> im not gonna carve stumps
[01:00:22] <robin_sz> coo
[01:00:40] <robin_sz> lateral stablilty will be poor
[01:00:42] <ReadError> http://p.twimg.com/ArCQoV8CMAERK-t.jpg:large
[01:00:44] <jdhnc> need to shorten it, or at least add another cross piece lower.
[01:00:45] <robin_sz> (left, right)
[01:00:45] <ReadError> ;o
[01:01:01] <robin_sz> or an under-piece
[01:01:09] <robin_sz> the dise will just push apart
[01:01:09] <r00t4rd3d> its getting an under
[01:01:11] <jdhnc> or both
[01:01:24] <r00t4rd3d> i was waiting till i got the height right
[01:01:31] <robin_sz> take those blocks
[01:01:37] <robin_sz> cut them in the middle
[01:01:43] <robin_sz> make the base 10"
[01:01:58] <r00t4rd3d> i got linear rods and blocks too
[01:02:04] <r00t4rd3d> for the other axis
[01:02:24] -!- dimas [dimas!~dimas@84.53.240.63] has joined #linuxcnc
[01:02:27] <robin_sz> try an get base nearer 10" or so for that gantry
[01:02:50] <r00t4rd3d> i have to stick with the base width cause i already have a lead screw for it
[01:03:00] <robin_sz> ?
[01:03:05] <robin_sz> not WIDTH
[01:03:13] <robin_sz> the distance from front bearing to back bearing
[01:03:33] <r00t4rd3d> oh
[01:03:36] <r00t4rd3d> well
[01:03:37] <robin_sz> too small
[01:03:40] <robin_sz> much too small
[01:04:08] <r00t4rd3d> for a dremel ?
[01:04:19] <robin_sz> mm
[01:04:28] <robin_sz> might be OK, btu the height ...
[01:04:30] <r00t4rd3d> or maybe a small trim router
[01:04:43] <robin_sz> yes, too smalll by a lot for a trim router
[01:04:54] <r00t4rd3d> yeah im gonna fix the height next
[01:05:04] <robin_sz> drop it to 4" or so
[01:05:10] <r00t4rd3d> ok
[01:05:18] <r00t4rd3d> im gonna pretty it up too
[01:05:22] <r00t4rd3d> put a dress on it
[01:05:23] <robin_sz> meh
[01:05:28] <robin_sz> boobies?
[01:05:50] <r00t4rd3d> no one has square corners
[01:05:56] <robin_sz> it would be .... unique
[01:06:06] <r00t4rd3d> i got sawz
[01:06:14] <r00t4rd3d> all of them
[01:06:32] <robin_sz> I know a perfect Z axis slide for you
[01:07:00] <r00t4rd3d> i was gonna have one made out of aluminum
[01:07:15] <r00t4rd3d> i know this metal guy now

[01:09:42] <robin_sz> guess
[01:09:48] <r00t4rd3d> 2-300

[01:10:23] <r00t4rd3d> what
[01:10:24] <robin_sz> no, its not worth telling you
[01:10:47] <robin_sz> you really think I would recommend a $600 actuator to someone building a $100 router?

[02:15:28] <Tom_itx> you think those caps will filter the supply well enough?
[02:15:42] <Jymmm> uf and voltage?
[02:15:43] <Tom_itx> 2200 uf ea iirc
[02:15:47] <Tom_itx> 63v
[02:15:54] <Tom_itx> supply is ~45 iirc
[02:16:01] <Tom_itx> need to check it again for sure

[02:17:34] <Tom_itx> 1 per axis
[02:17:36] <Jymmm> just 4400uF?
[02:17:42] <Tom_itx> 6600
[02:17:46] <Tom_itx> 3 ea
[02:18:32] <Jymmm> iirc seems low, but I could be mistaken. Also you are overvoltage for the caps, no error for margin
[02:18:46] <Jymmm> reverse that
[02:24:43] <Tom_itx> i think the v for the caps is ok

[02:43:33] <Tom_itx> or less transfomer
[02:43:42] <Tom_itx> can i combine the outputs of 2?
[02:43:50] <Tom_itx> if they're in phase
[02:44:05] <Jymmm> what do you mean?
[02:44:18] <Jymmm> less current? less voltage?
[02:44:23] <Tom_itx> make 1 big transformer from 2
[02:44:35] <Jymmm> for what purpose?
[02:44:59] <Tom_itx> or would i be better off keeping them as separate supplies
[02:45:04] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: wait, were you going to make one PS per axis?
[02:45:17] <Tom_itx> yup

[02:46:05] <Jymmm> the idea is that when one stepper is stopping, the BENF produces goes to another axis
[02:46:11] <Jymmm> BEMF
[02:46:22] <Jymmm> one PS for all three axis
[02:46:28] <ThadiusB> hello everyone
[02:46:33] <ThadiusB> what a long, kickass day
[02:46:42] <Tom_itx> well i'd have a total of 18A
[02:46:47] <Tom_itx> i probably don't need it all
[02:47:04] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: what is the secondary voltage from onw xfmr?
[02:47:09] <Jymmm> one
[02:47:11] <Tom_itx> but you don't understand my queston
[02:47:24] <Tom_itx> i'm not sure if it's advisable to do it or not
[02:47:35] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: what is the secondary voltage from one xfmr?
[02:47:39] <Tom_itx> i already combined secondaries on each transformer
[02:47:47] <Tom_itx> to boost the current
[02:48:17] <Tom_itx> so if i keep the phase correct, can i combine 2 transformer secondaries?
[02:48:30] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: what is the secondary voltage from one xfmr?
[02:48:38] <Tom_itx> i told you already
[02:49:10] <pcw_home> sure you can parallel secondaries (if they are identical)
[02:49:21] <Jymmm> to double the current
[02:49:42] <pcw_home> and identical PRI/SEC ratios
[02:49:43] <Tom_itx> pcw_home, these would be parallel transformers
[02:49:52] <Tom_itx> they are 3 identical transformers
[02:50:04] <Tom_itx> http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/temp/cnc/psu1.jpg
[02:50:09] <Tom_itx> 2 of the 3 shown there
[02:50:09] <Jymmm> if one xfmr is 32vac@8A you may not even need the second xfmr
[02:50:28] <Tom_itx> they are ~32v ac approx 6A
[02:50:37] <Tom_itx> ea
[02:50:40] <Tom_itx> x 3
[02:50:45] <Tom_itx> or 2
[02:50:52] <Jymmm> you might not even need a second xfmr
[02:50:58] <Tom_itx> but i was gonna use one per axis
[02:51:07] <Tom_itx> for later expansion
[02:51:14] <Jymmm> BEMF
[02:51:14] <Tom_itx> with a common ground
[02:51:22] <pcw_home> if you worry, check the voltage difference in the secondaries before you parallel
[02:51:37] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: BEMF
[02:51:40] <pcw_home> (differentially)
[02:52:07] <Tom_itx> pcw_home i just wondered if it was safe to parallel separate transformers
[02:52:14] -!- Valen has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[02:52:16] <Tom_itx> these were surplus
[02:52:20] <Tom_itx> so i got em
[02:52:44] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: I seriosuly doubt you need more than one xfmr for all three axis
[02:52:59] <Tom_itx> Jymmm at 4A on the stepper driver?
[02:53:19] <Tom_itx> i know it doesn't draw all that unless you need it
[02:53:24] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: read that pdf, and you need to accoutn for BEMF and using multple PS does not do that
[02:53:37] <Tom_itx> i know a little about back emf
[02:54:27] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: then read the pdf
[02:54:37] <Jymmm> I beieve he talks about it in there
[02:56:01] <Jymmm> The easiest factor in choosing a power supply is its current rating, which is based on your motor
[02:56:01] <Jymmm> ratings. A motor control will always draw less than 2/3 of the motor’s rated current when it is parallel
[02:56:01] <Jymmm> (or half-winding) connected and 1/3 of the motor’s rated current when it is series (or full-winding)
[02:56:02] <Jymmm> connected. That is to say, a 6 amp per phase motor will require a 4 amp power supply when wired in
[02:56:04] <Jymmm> parallel and a 2 amp power supply when wired in series. If multiple motors and drives are used, add the
[02:56:06] <Jymmm> current requirements of each to arrive at the total power supply current rating.
[02:57:00] <Tom_itx> ok but the drivers are rated at 7A
[02:57:10] <Tom_itx> and i'm building this for future expansion
[02:57:26] <Jymmm> it's all in the pdf
[02:57:53] <Tom_itx> i'll read it
[02:58:06] <Tom_itx> later. i think if i tried now, i'd fall asleep in the middle
[02:59:13] <Tecan> i just bought a Item Title:NOK 037-XL-0471A-J Timing Belt what kinda pully would i need for it ?
[02:59:21] <Jymmm> pcw_home: in a buck boost circuit, whats the easiet way to shield/block/filter emi from everything around it?
[02:59:31] <alex4nder> lead
[02:59:32] <Jymmm> emi/rfi
[03:01:03] <pcw_home> first optimize PCB layout to minimize the size of high frequency high current loops
[03:01:19] <pcw_home> use shielded inductors
[03:02:21] -!- ThadiusB has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[03:02:57] <pcw_home> high frequency capacitors across and ferrite beads in series with I/O
[03:04:44] <Thetawaves> the best way is to put at least 10kohm resistor in series, and TVS diodes between power, signal and ground
[03:05:19] <Thetawaves> and then a small capacitor to eliminate any remaining surges
[03:06:23] <Thetawaves> it's hard to do 10k ohm outputs, so you should at least use 10-20ohm resistor
[03:06:33] <pcw_home> I think jymmm is talking about radiated EMI. not ESD
[03:07:10] <Thetawaves> any length of wire will not be sufficiently protected in any circuit is connected to without that
[03:07:22] <Thetawaves> it is*
[03:07:56] <Thetawaves> should you have a 20 foot cable, you will be very disappointed to find that your electronics no longer work the morning after a thunder storm.
[03:12:01] <Thetawaves> ahhhh he wants to know about how to make a noise free power supply
[03:12:07] <Thetawaves> to which i say: good luck
[03:13:20] <Thetawaves> try a battery powered system in a metal case
[03:15:26] <Thetawaves> Jymmm, what do you want to do with your emi-less power supply
[03:15:49] <pcw_home> There are many low noise switching PS techniques but they all cost more (sine wave PS's for example)

[12:05:33] <r00t4rd3d> Jymmm, when you say tension the bearings what do you mean?
[12:05:41] <r00t4rd3d> tighten them to the rail?
[12:05:50] <Jymmm> r00t4rd3d: basically, yes
[12:06:03] <Valen> generally you use pairs of bearings and load them up against each other to get rid of backlash

[12:16:16] <Jymmm> your child is your fathers brother
[12:17:14] <Jymmm> r00t4rd3d: with only being 4.5" apart, I think you're ging to have a hell of a lot of stress when your table is at the ends
[12:17:57] <r00t4rd3d> i dont get you
[12:18:49] <Jymmm> r00t4rd3d: When the end of your table is touching the end of the bearing block, your bearings are going to be under a LOT of stress
[12:18:56] <r00t4rd3d> oh
[12:19:24] <Jymmm> If your bearing block was 9" long, much less stress
[12:19:29] <r00t4rd3d> I can set the gantry on one end and push it right off the other with a slight push
[12:19:51] <Jymmm> r00t4rd3d: But push it to 99.999% off
[12:19:56] <Jymmm> and leave it there
[12:20:15] <r00t4rd3d> i can add another 4.5 carriage or get some extended ones if I have issues

[14:08:34] <jdhnc> leave tabs, use hold downs, tape, vacuum table, fingers, holes
[14:09:02] <r00t4rd3d> ive seen lots of people use clear packing tape lol
[14:09:15] <fliebel> jdhnc: tabs, hold downs?
[14:09:25] <r00t4rd3d> ie clamps
[14:09:38] <r00t4rd3d> they make table clamps
[14:09:50] <jdhnc> don't cut all the way through, leave a few places where z doesn't go through. Most CAM packages will generate them.
[14:10:05] <jdhnc> put holes in the inside part and screw it to the spoilboard
[14:10:13] <fliebel> I saw an option in PyCAM to generate support things...
[14:10:14] <r00t4rd3d> then use your one good tooth to bite out the tabs
[14:10:18] <jdhnc> hold it with your fingers as it makes the final cut :)
[14:10:48] <jdhnc> don't cut the last few thou and sand/snap it off
[14:11:27] <jdhnc> let it cut and hope for the best as it finally breaks free and either goes flying or gets gouged by the cutter.
[14:11:47] <Jymmm> or both

[14:44:46] <pcw_home> or in FF with googlebot user agent if you want to see its full glory
[14:45:09] <Jymmm> I think it got hacked way back, but there was residual left behind allowing for a "back door" or sorts. and that's why it keeps getting re-hacked
[14:45:16] <archivist> sounds like the same problem as a few months ago
[14:45:20] <Jymmm> *of sorts
[14:45:52] <Jymmm> Right, but nobody went thru the db or code to look for residue (aka back door)

[16:45:50] <joe9> without the cutter radius reducing the size.
[16:45:51] <Tom_itx> if you have a move of G1 x0, y0 then G1 x0, y1 you don't need to repeat the x0
[16:45:59] <Tom_itx> on most machines
[16:46:15] <joe9> Tom_itx: yes, I agree on that. I was just using that to help with the code reading.
[16:46:39] <joe9> not sure if it actually helps. it feels that it helps to have an (x,y) position for each step.
[16:46:44] <Tom_itx> i think it's easier to read changes
[16:47:00] <Tom_itx> but it doesn't matter much
[16:47:31] <Tom_itx> what's your D1 offset value?
[16:47:45] <joe9> G20 G10 L1 P1 Z0 R0.0625
[16:47:57] <joe9> doesn't this line set it to 0.125 = diameter?
[16:48:02] <joe9> or, am I wrong?
[16:48:06] <Tom_itx> i dunno
[16:48:10] <Tom_itx> i'd have to look
[16:48:17] <Tom_itx> i don't have em all memorized
[16:48:27] <Tom_itx> i use cad cam most of the time
[16:48:38] <cradek> joe9: did you see the examples in the docs at http://linuxcnc.org/docview/2.5/html/gcode/tool_compensation.html#sec:cutter-radius-compensation
[16:48:55] <cradek> they show cutting inside and outside a rectangle
[16:49:33] <Tom_itx> if the D1 value is non zero it may not close the rectangle
[16:49:41] <Tom_itx> cutter comp
[16:49:43] <joe9> cradek: no, I did not see the examples. will check them out.
[16:49:45] <joe9> thanks.

[20:13:15] <andypugh> cradek: Aye, I guess that is one solution. I am trying to answer a query on the forum. An inverse-version of "weighted-sum" is what is required.
[20:13:41] <andypugh> Loetmichel: 5i25 is not a lot more than a parport card, and does a lot more.

[20:18:12] <Loetmichel> THERE i could have used the mini mainboard, because the SBC i have buildt in it is a press fit...
[20:18:15] <andypugh> I can only find them for sale as a kit with the 7i76, but presumably that means that they have stock just over the border in Austria: http://www.retrofit-plus.at/store/7i76-plug-n-go

[20:20:49] <archivist> 219 euro
[20:20:50] <isssy> my smaller machine is 1meter by 2 meters and the big 30 meters by 2,5 meters
[20:21:20] <isssy> the german site is selling them 4 times more expencive than mesa
[20:21:24] <andypugh> It's about $80 for just the 5i25. Which is £40 (using approximate maths) which is a good night on the beer in an expensive pub...
[20:21:41] <CareBear\> $80 in beers?

[21:07:40] <Jymmm> ok
[21:07:53] <pfred1> as much bombing as took place in WW2 it is nothing compared to today

[21:08:24] <Loetmichel> i read somewhre tha amiericans had dropped more bombs in iraq on one day than have fallen in the ENTIRE ww2

[21:08:57] <andypugh> Loetmichel: Maybe in yield, but I very much doubt in number.
[21:09:00] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: I think vietnam was worse than iraq
[21:09:04] <pfred1> one B-52 can carry what 10 WW2 bombers could
[21:09:16] <Loetmichel> but as the advance in technology is: i doubt that as much as in ww2 are "dud"

[21:09:30] <pfred1> andypugh I don't know about that
[21:09:33] <Loetmichel> andypugh: in tonnes, of coures, not number
[21:09:47] <Loetmichel> course
[21:09:51] <Jymmm> andypugh: Yeah, we have FedEx now for overnight delivery, 10am guanrteed
[21:09:59] <Loetmichel> Jymmm: HARHAR
[21:10:02] <Jymmm> =)
[21:10:26] <pfred1> andypugh on top of it we more into precision guided munitions today it took so many bombs ot hit a target in WW2 now we get it first shot
[21:11:09] <pfred1> one bomb that hits is way better than 100 that miss
[21:11:43] <andypugh> Anyway, what really spoilt it for the Nazis (lets blame them, not the nice Germans) was Japan. Though quite _why_ Pearl Harbour meant that the US was at war with Germany is something of a mystery to me. The US could have finished the Pacific war in no time if they hadn't decided to sort out Europe first.
[21:12:28] <pfred1> the USA had been bullying Japan since the early 30s
[21:13:16] <Jymmm> bullying?
[21:13:21] <Loetmichel> andypugh: letzs put it this way: if hitler had listened to his more seroius generals all of you would speak german today.
[21:13:22] <pfred1> roosevelt was doing all he could to actually get into the war no matter what he said
[21:13:29] <Jymmm> ah
[21:13:38] <pfred1> Jymmm sure we weren't allowing htem to get oil or other natural resources
[21:13:46] <Loetmichel> lets greet the fackt taht hitler was so egomanic ;-)
[21:13:59] <pfred1> we were totally screwing woth them
[21:14:11] <Jymmm> pfred1: Ah, I didn't know.
[21:14:23] <andypugh> Loetmichel: Aye, we were discussing that in the bar last night, how depressign it must have been for career generals to be forced to follow the plans of politicians.
[21:15:15] <pfred1> I donno early on the german generals were against then after early success pretty much for the Nazis
[21:15:55] <pfred1> it was only after things went bad again that some went against again
[21:17:01] <Loetmichel> pfred1: hit should have made his peace with either russians OR brits
[21:17:14] <Loetmichel> then no force would have stopped him
[21:17:28] <pfred1> he tried with the brits and the peace he wanted to make with the commies was to kill them all
[21:17:29] <andypugh> I think that they never quite got over seeing the UK as natural allies.
[21:17:49] <pfred1> so you could say he tried pertty hard there too
[21:18:17] <Loetmichel> and after he would have conolidated his land gains in euirope and africa there woulb be no force big enough to stop then, considering the tell-tal german ingeneuety in desinging better weapins
[21:18:20] <Loetmichel> weapons
[21:18:30] <cpresser> as you all know, the nazis havent been defeated. they build a base on the dark side of the moon
[21:18:35] <pfred1> Loetmichel the USA would have crushed him
[21:18:45] <cpresser> spaceships with anti-gravity drives...
[21:19:17] <pfred1> Loetmichel you don't know how many Americans of German descent there really are here :)
[21:19:23] <Loetmichel> pfred1: i want to belive that but i dont think they had the reccources one hitler had conuered half europe
[21:19:38] <Loetmichel> once
[21:19:44] <Loetmichel> conquered
[21:20:10] <pfred1> the Nazis never understood the scale of economics
[21:20:21] <pfred1> the whole war they made what 6,000 tanks?
[21:20:31] <Loetmichel> cpresser: first the dark side of the moon isnt dark
[21:20:52] <Loetmichel> second: that fuilm has more holes in it than the titanic ;-)
[21:20:55] <Loetmichel> film
[21:21:13] <cpresser> but it sounds cool. they even hav a moon highway^^
[21:21:17] <Loetmichel> pfred1: 6000 tanks of the german tiger variant are enough ;-)
[21:21:24] <pfred1> apparently not
[21:21:36] <pfred1> not when we made 60,000 shermans
[21:21:43] <Loetmichel> pfred1: not for a 2 front war
[21:22:08] <Loetmichel> oh, they would have been sufficient to kill 10 times the shermans
[21:22:16] <pfred1> a tiger might be able to take out 20 shermans but the 21st is gonna get him
[21:22:24] <Loetmichel> but not if the majority of them was bound in russia
[21:22:47] <pfred1> it happened time after time
[21:22:48] <Loetmichel> pfred1: totally right
[21:22:50] <Loetmichel> ;-)
[21:22:54] <Loetmichel> do the math ;-)

[21:23:41] -!- skunkworks__ [skunkworks__!~chatzilla@str-bb-cable-south-3-102.dsl.airstreamcomm.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[21:23:56] <Loetmichel> what really puzzled me: i have personnally shot a american ".45 peacemaker" rebuild
[21:24:07] <pfred1> heh yeah I seen this thing I thought it was called the maus
[21:24:28] <Loetmichel> ... wit bullets that have a V0 of 1040m/s... and are supposed to break 38mm armor steel...
[21:24:36] <pfred1> the germans put too much faith into super weapons
[21:24:55] <Loetmichel> whats a mindset to create a small arm that can cope with a tank?
[21:25:00] <andypugh> pfred1: The Ratte was 5x as big as the Maus.
[21:25:18] <pfred1> andypugh ah I see this was one of their pipe dreams?
[21:25:24] <andypugh> Indeed.
[21:25:41] <pfred1> the maus was stupid enough of an idea
[21:25:54] <pfred1> daneg thing would have just sank int othe ground
[21:26:27] <pfred1> yeah the T-34 really shocked and scared the germans
[21:26:44] <cpresser> fortunately hitler tried to push some of those insane projects. just imagine what would have happend if people like speer would have established efficient mass production in early war (pre 42)
[21:26:53] <pfred1> it influenced the design of the panther a lot but not enough
[21:27:11] <Loetmichel> pfred1: i dont think so
[21:27:31] <pfred1> cpresser that was a big factor the germans were always playing catch up they never fully comprehended the scale of the war in time
[21:27:34] <Loetmichel> if the tracks are wide eough the monster would have less ground pressure than an car
[21:27:40] <psha> heh, also don't miss early t34 with t34-85
[21:27:53] <pfred1> up until the last few months of the war they kept on increasing their production
[21:29:14] <cpresser> pfred1: it was quite lucky for the german war-efforts that fritz todt died in a plane crash. after that speer took over war-production and started massive rationalization programs.
[21:29:19] <pfred1> if the germans had gotten on the stick earlier maybe they'd have cone a little better?
[21:29:38] <Loetmichel> pfred1: yeah, thats what i meant by "if he had time to consolodate his land winnings he would be nearly unstoppable
[21:29:39] <cpresser> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/Produktion_von_Panzerwagen_in_Deutschland_1941-1944_ver.2.png
[21:29:42] <pfred1> done a little better even
[21:30:00] <pfred1> Loetmichel the thing is the nazis liked to rest on their laurels
[21:30:00] <Loetmichel> (not that that is a good thin, I would not want to live in a nazi country)
[21:30:11] <pfred1> they were a bunch of lazy sots at heart
[21:30:19] <cpresser> the one thing germans really lacked was a organization like bletchley park
[21:30:35] <pfred1> one thing the germans had was parallel efforts
[21:30:41] <pfred1> there was too much competition
[21:31:08] <pfred1> too many factions inside battling each other
[21:31:16] <Loetmichel> maybe, but when was it that competition switched from being a good thing to being a drawback?
[21:31:26] <pfred1> when you're fighting a war
[21:31:27] <andypugh> I don't think that the Nazi high command had any respect for intellectuals, so they would never have set up anything like Bletchley.
[21:31:34] <pjm__> i bought a book at BP yesterday called 'nazi codebreakers' about the german efforts against allied crypto systems, looks like an excellent read!
[21:31:47] <pfred1> yeah running off the jews wasn't the smartest thing they did
[21:32:00] -!- psha has quit [Quit: Lost terminal]
[21:32:06] <pfred1> the US atomic program was mostly german jews
[21:32:34] <Loetmichel> the jews were a "sacificial cow"
[21:32:45] <Jymmm> kosher?
[21:32:51] <Loetmichel> to put the blame on someone for the bad economics and so on
[21:33:13] <pfred1> pjm__ wen you get done with that read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptonomicon
[21:33:26] <andypugh> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutte
[21:33:31] <Loetmichel> i think it could have been any other ethnic if the leaders were biased another way
[21:33:33] <pfred1> Loetmichel I'm not entirely sure if it was completely misplaced
[21:34:00] <pfred1> but it still hurt them in the short term
[21:34:28] <Jymmm> pjm__: fiction?
[21:34:31] <pfred1> the nazis hardly invented anti-semitism
[21:34:34] <andypugh> Bill Tutte managed to figure out the structure of the Lorenz machine from looking at the cyphertext and plaintext. That's actually almost incredible.
[21:35:04] <pjm__> Jymmm no its non-fiction, based on allied investigations after germany was taken by allies
[21:35:10] <pjm__> and also POW 'interviews'
[21:35:28] <skunkworks__> pjm: ! how is your machine working?
[21:35:38] <pfred1> pjm__ the Cryptonomicon is fiction but some of the events that happen within the story actually occurred
[21:35:38] <Jymmm> pjm__: Cool, I might actually read a non-technical book this decade then =)
[21:36:00] <Loetmichel> harhar
[21:36:11] <Jymmm> hell, it'll take me that long to read it anyway
[21:36:19] <pjm__> sorry i got the title wrong its Hitler's Codebreakers: German Signals Intelligence in World War 2 [
[21:36:20] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: I dont read
[21:36:35] <Loetmichel> i just happen to have the 4 "chtorran" books (sci-fi) on my cellphone
[21:36:42] <Loetmichel> in english
[21:36:58] <pjm__> skunkworks__ yo! it is working nicely thanks, i still have a few little bits to do to tidy it up, but so far its been perfect! and i've made tonnes of things with it
[21:36:59] <pfred1> the only code that wasn't broken in WW2 was the US code based on the navajo Indian language
[21:37:02] <Loetmichel> to read in the car and everywhere/when i have time
[21:37:15] <pfred1> we had a corner on the Indian market :)
[21:37:39] <pjm__> skunkworks__ last project http://pjm.dyndns.org/twtr/nixie4.jpg case for my clock
[21:37:52] <Loetmichel> because my pile of "to read" novels is getting higher and higher
[21:38:20] <skunkworks__> Neat!
[21:38:29] -!- erasmo has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[21:38:31] <pjm__> also re BP i would recommend "Colossus: The secrets of Bletchley Park's code-breaking computers"
[21:38:33] <Loetmichel> pjm__: nice. but a nixie clock HAS to be in a wooden case. IMO
[21:38:55] <pfred1> pjm__ you could polish the edges more
[21:38:56] <pjm__> LOL well i wanted to see the electroncs
[21:39:19] <Loetmichel> ... and it has to be free to air wiring
[21:39:22] <pfred1> pjm__ wet sand it with 600 grit then use polishing compound
[21:39:25] <Loetmichel> not PCB
[21:39:25] <pjm__> yeah i looked at how u get the edges of polycarbonate smoothed, not too sure how
[21:39:26] <Jymmm> pfred1: Someone analyzed encrypted SSL traffic recently and was able to determine from the patterns what content they were looking at.
[21:39:34] <Loetmichel> ... also in my opinion
[21:39:53] <pjm__> could u have a nixie clock in wood case with GPS timing?
[21:39:58] <pjm__> or does that not mix properly
[21:40:02] <pfred1> pjm__ I put the polishing compound on a piece of paper then use it like sandpaper
[21:40:05] <Loetmichel> [23:39] <pfred1> pjm__ wet sand it with 600 grit then use polishing compound <- or use a bunsen burner and some experience
[21:40:19] <Jymmm> pjm__: gps or wwv ?
[21:40:21] <pfred1> Loetmichel nah it comes out better polished
[21:40:28] <pjm__> wwv isnt accurate enuf ;-)
[21:40:34] <Loetmichel> pfred1: depends ;-)
[21:40:38] <pjm__> due to ionospheric disturbance
[21:40:40] <pfred1> torching it it is always wavy
[21:40:41] <Jymmm> pjm__: What do you think FEEDS gps?
[21:40:49] <pjm__> Rb's !
[21:40:53] <Loetmichel> whats wwv?
[21:40:54] <pfred1> Loetmichel no it doesn't polishing always yields a superior finish
[21:40:59] <Loetmichel> something like DCF77?
[21:41:02] <pjm__> yeah
[21:41:03] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: atomic clock in colorado
[21:41:18] <pfred1> and you can't torch all clear plastics either
[21:41:28] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: transmit time on 5,10,15,and 20MHz
[21:41:32] <Loetmichel> pfred1: right, workls best with PMMA
[21:41:45] <Loetmichel> Jymmm: i see, like DCF77
[21:41:51] <Jymmm> yeah
[21:41:55] <andypugh> i like "Cryptonimicon" but I think that the"Quicksilver" series is better. It's science fiction, except the scientists are Newton, Hooke, Liebnitz...
[21:41:59] <Loetmichel> only that DCF77 is on 77.5khz
[21:42:04] <pfred1> I have a piece here that is torched one side and polished the other and i can see the torch waves in the polished side
[21:42:11] <Loetmichel> ... and about 10km from here
[21:42:22] <Loetmichel> with its main transmitter
[21:42:26] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWV_%28radio_station%29
[21:42:37] <pfred1> andypugh ever read Snow Crash?
[21:42:56] <Loetmichel> pfred1: so its not good torched?
[21:42:57] <Loetmichel> ;-)
[21:43:12] <pfred1> Loetmichel its OK but I prefer polished
[21:43:15] <Loetmichel> i never had problems with waves
[21:43:23] <andypugh> Yes. Several times. In fact I have read everything he has written, including the Stephen Bury stuff, and Zodiac.
[21:43:28] <Loetmichel> only wiht blisters if i got to long on one3 place
[21:43:29] <pfred1> polish one side then look through it
[21:43:34] <pfred1> then you'll see them
[21:44:07] <pfred1> andypugh I haven't read everything he's written but a few things
[21:44:26] <pfred1> gibson is a read everything well up until a point
[21:45:02] <andypugh> I Reamde is pretty good.
[21:45:10] <pjm__> Cryptonomicon gets excellent reviews, so probably one to add to my list
[21:45:12] <andypugh> And I really liked Anathem
[21:45:28] <pfred1> pjm__ I thought it was entertaining fast paced too
[21:45:35] <pjm__> great!
[21:45:46] <pfred1> it'd better be for the size it is
[21:46:00] <andypugh> I read anything written by Gibson, Sterling, Cherryh, Stevenson and Weber pretty much as soon as they are ublished.
[21:46:23] <andypugh> Ah, and Ian M Banks too
[21:46:24] <pfred1> a regular cyberpunker are you?
[21:46:32] <r00t4rd3d> pffft
[21:46:43] <Loetmichel> hmmm, who is weber?
[21:46:56] <andypugh> Quicksilver is Stempunk :-)
[21:46:58] <Loetmichel> the rest sits here in the shelf, more or less complete ;-)
[21:47:01] <andypugh> (steampunk)
[21:47:10] <pfred1> andypugh you might like some early greg bear
[21:47:56] <andypugh> David Weber answers your question about armour piercing handguns in "Out of the Dark" which is a really promising Alien Invasion story badly ruined by vampires.
[21:48:07] <andypugh> I have read most stuff by Greag Bear too.
[21:48:10] <pfred1> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Way_(Greg_Bear)
[21:48:30] <pfred1> OK
[21:48:34] <andypugh> And George RR Martin
[21:48:40] <pfred1> his later stuff is a bit too commercial for me
[21:48:56] <andypugh> I really like China Mieville.
[21:50:02] <pfred1> andypugh you like Larry Niven?
[21:50:24] <andypugh> Not especially, he is rubbish with characterisation
[21:50:34] <pfred1> hmm i liked the motie series
[21:50:36] <andypugh> I have read a lot of his stuff.
[21:51:14] <andypugh> Have you read anything by Vernor Vinge? He does better aliens than Niven
[21:51:31] <pfred1> I've read another Vinge not that one
[21:51:46] <pfred1> at least i think i have
[21:51:58] <andypugh> And I _think_ that Cherryh is the only author I know who has written books with no human characters at all.
[21:52:16] <Tom_itx> who reads them?
[21:52:22] <pfred1> Jack Vance?
[21:52:55] <andypugh> Yeah, I like Jack Vance, he has such a laid-back style where he quietly does dreadful things to characters with no fanfare.
[21:53:01] <pfred1> heh
[21:53:21] <pfred1> stanislaw lem?

[21:55:31] <andypugh> I tried to read Dhalgren once. I think that is not unusual.
[21:55:42] <pfred1> heh delany
[21:56:15] <pfred1> as many times as I've read Dhalgren I can't say as I understand it

[21:59:10] <Loetmichel> [23:54] <pfred1> solaris is probably the worst hting he's ever written <- the film is BAD
[21:59:11] <pfred1> andypugh you'll like Lem
[21:59:17] <Loetmichel> the book is quite readable
[21:59:18] <pfred1> Loetmichel which there are two
[21:59:26] <Loetmichel> the new one
[21:59:34] <pfred1> well they're both pretty bad
[21:59:44] <pfred1> but I think the second one is a bit better than the first
[22:00:04] <pfred1> seeing either then reading the book will ruin it for anyone
[22:00:25] <andypugh> If I was going to recommend one book to read in the SF genre I think it would be Cherryh's "The Pride of Chanur". She has written "better" books, but that has a set of really likeable aliens in it.
[22:01:14] <Loetmichel> andypugh: chanur universe is GREAT
[22:01:24] <pfred1> this book when I read it I didn't know if it was true or not I'm pretty sure it isn't but it is so compelling http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/His_Master's_Voice_(novel)

[22:02:37] <pfred1> it kicks ass
[22:03:35] <andypugh> One thing I liked about Stevenson's "Quicksilver" was how often it sent me to Wikipedia to check if events really happened. (it starts in 1666)
[22:03:45] <pfred1> heh
[22:04:09] <Tom_itx> someone have the link to the page to calc your stepper voltage?

[22:33:32] <pfred1> Tom_itx how does higher voltage make you miss steps?
[22:34:24] <Tom_itx> i don't recall saying it did
[22:34:48] <pfred1> the reason manufacturers don't give you the voltage is they know you're going to PWM the motor
[22:35:17] <pfred1> Tom_itx you didn't but thos page does
[22:35:42] <pfred1> "Run that axis and increase the speed until you find the fastest speed that it will run without missing steps with the test voltage."
[22:36:45] <Loetmichel> <- bedtime
[22:37:10] <pfred1> Tom_itx now i never knew inductance limited your maximum voltage
[22:38:30] <pfred1> although it does seem that at equal voltage a lower inductance motor will run faster than a higher inductance one can
[22:38:50] <pfred1> so it is a good thing you can run higher inductance motors higher voltages
[22:39:53] <pfred1> oh this is all for resistor current limiting drives
[22:40:26] <pfred1> I'm not sure if any of this applies to a PWM drive
[22:41:30] <pfred1> I built a resistor limited drive once the resistor you need is crazy

[22:53:44] <pfred1> somewhere around 300 volts I guess
[22:54:12] <pfred1> as long as you don't put more current into it than it can handle it can handle all the volts you throw at it

[22:57:42] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: did you see it? if not scrollup

[23:52:19] <pfred1> ReadError I just bought this over the weekend http://i.imgur.com/WCRO5.jpg
[23:52:28] <pfred1> ReadError and that isn't evne all of it!
[23:52:34] <ReadError> lol
[23:52:40] <pfred1> that bin was full
[23:52:42] <ReadError> why did you buy a box of used pens and markers?
[23:52:46] <robin_sz> Tom_itx, yep, it finishes off the machining department nicely
[23:52:50] <pfred1> it was $3
[23:53:06] <ReadError> did the glitter glue come with it?
[23:53:11] <pfred1> yup
[23:53:16] <ReadError> well thats a good deal then
[23:53:20] <Tom_itx> that's why he bought it!
[23:53:20] <pfred1> those CD-Rs too
[23:53:27] <Jymmm> so was the gameboy!
[23:53:30] <robin_sz> Tom_itx, we have a 8x4 cnc router, 2 small lasers (cardboard and plastic), a Haas VF2 with 4th axis and now an Amada punch
[23:53:35] <pfred1> yeah there was even a gameboy in there
[23:53:43] <alex4nder> ReadError: how's the mill?
[23:53:54] <ReadError> alex4nder: got everything mounted
[23:53:58] <alex4nder> nice
[23:54:00] <ReadError> gotta bring the box and monitor down still
[23:54:00] <Tom_itx> robin_sz our neighbor had newer haas but i've never run one
[23:54:03] <pfred1> I'd say 80% of the pens are good
[23:54:11] <ReadError> plus, i got an enclosure i want to put my stuff into
[23:54:13] <pfred1> by good i mean like new
[23:54:17] <ReadError> like a junction box
[23:54:18] <robin_sz> Tom_itx, we only got ours going really this week
[23:54:37] <ReadError> i was messing with pycam today at work
[23:54:43] <ReadError> it does not work as intended ;(
[23:54:44] <Tom_itx> i've seen a row of em at Tony's shop though
[23:54:45] <pfred1> Jymmm I feel I missed out on a golden opportunity though
[23:54:47] <robin_sz> Tom_itx, just sent first programmes down from VisualMill on Saturday
[23:54:53] <ReadError> importing a svg doesnt work at all
[23:54:54] <Jymmm> pfred1: how so?
[23:55:10] <Tom_itx> i think i got pics of em somewhere
[23:55:14] <robin_sz> look, its Jymmm
[23:55:24] <pfred1> Jymmm the woman I bought it off of is a nurse and a lot of the pens are chewed on so it is likely she has an oral fixation ...
[23:55:38] <Jymmm> pfred1: LOL
[23:55:40] <ReadError> pfred1: you in the USA?
[23:55:46] <pfred1> ReadError yes
[23:55:52] <ReadError> where about?
[23:55:58] <pfred1> ReadError Delaware
[23:56:02] <robin_sz> Jymmm, have you built that CNC parrot yet?
[23:56:12] <Jymmm> pfred1: If she's a nurse, she could be infected, so yes maybe you DID miss a golden opportunity of an STD
[23:56:25] -!- Tom_L [Tom_L!~Tl@unaffiliated/toml/x-013812] has joined #linuxcnc
[23:56:38] <pfred1> Jymmm yeah she might have been a real slob I've been looking at these pens and they tell a story
[23:56:55] <robin_sz> nurses, .. nasty dirty things .. best avoided
[23:56:59] <Jymmm> pfred1: haha
[23:57:00] <pfred1> she was obviously a mad pen kleptomaniac
[23:57:07] * robin_sz checks his wife is not listening
[23:57:10] <ReadError> i only like a certain type of pen
[23:57:17] <robin_sz> sharpie?
[23:57:23] <pfred1> ReadError me too, one that writes
[23:57:29] <ReadError> precise v5
[23:57:32] <ReadError> or g2's
[23:57:39] <pfred1> yeah they'rei n there
[23:57:40] <Jymmm> pfred1: and would have access to date rape drugs too I bet... aka Fatal attraction

[23:57:54] <ReadError> those
[23:58:06] <pfred1> ReadError there are some really nice pens in this mess
[23:58:25] <ThadiusB> ok, another question, does linuxcnc have try and compensate for backlash, and if so, should i change my accel?
[23:59:00] <ThadiusB> if i have anti-backlash installed?
[23:59:20] <pfred1> backlash is one thing luckily I haven't had to fool with
[23:59:27] <Jymmm> ThadiusB: Yes, it does have compensation, but you should always use mechanical whenever you can
[23:59:37] <Tom_L> robin_sz, these are the ones at tony's shop: http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/temp/cnc/stewart/DSC_0007.JPG
