[01:46:23] <ReadError> wish toolpath generation was easier ;/
[01:46:29] <alex4nder> yes
[01:46:42] <ReadError> pycam wont do peck drilling
[01:46:46] <ReadError> which is the real deal breaker
[01:46:56] <alex4nder> yah, but that is so easy to add afterwards
[01:46:56] <ReadError> i got the outside and middle done nice, but the holes
[01:47:06] <ReadError> i can alway create another job to just drill
[01:47:15] <alex4nder> I'd think that would be the least of your worries.
[01:47:20] <ReadError> true
[01:47:26] <alex4nder> the material removal strategy is what bugs me
[01:47:31] <ReadError> i just want a viable method i can repeat for other stuff
[01:47:41] <alex4nder> all of the free/cheap CAM strategies make your mill sound like it's foodprocessing rocks.

[01:49:42] <alex4nder> it seems like the big 'problem' with CAM is that the easy stuff is easy, and the moment you get away from butt-simple, it gets really hard to do well.
[01:50:27] <ReadError> or the software that does it nice, you get it how you want then they say ohai, pay us money for the full version
[01:50:33] <ReadError> cut2d did what i needed
[01:50:41] <ReadError> but i cant find a copy that lets me actually save
[01:50:53] <alex4nder> I mean in general as far as implementing functionality.
[01:51:19] <alex4nder> because I don't want to use anyone else's software unless it's really good, and I haven't seen any that is good that costs less than my car.
[01:51:41] <alex4nder> maybe sprutcam? but then you're locked into running windows
[01:53:00] <ReadError> alex4nder, I run vmware esxi
[01:53:08] <ReadError> im never locked in ;)

[12:46:20] <Tectu> well, i use L297 atm, and they are in the dropdown menu, and i don't want to write stuff on my own
[12:46:26] <Tectu> so i ask if there is also support for them or not
[12:46:57] <jdhNC> nothing to write, that just sets timing values
[12:48:47] <Tectu> ok
[12:48:48] <jdhNC> 1uS min pulse width, 200nS step/dir change.
[12:48:59] <Tectu> where do you get that from?
[12:49:47] <jdhNC> http://www.allegromicro.com/Products/Motor-Driver-And-Interface-ICs/Bipolar-Stepper-Motor-Drivers/~/media/Files/Datasheets/A4988-Datasheet.ashx
[12:49:52] <Tectu> i am also not sure if EMC can handle 16th microstep
[12:50:50] <jdhNC> it doesn't care
[12:50:57] <jdhNC> a pulse is a pulse.
[12:51:36] <micges> if it's parport, you just will get slower speeds
[12:53:04] <Tectu> ok
[12:54:06] <jdhNC> A4988 will work with the same L297 settings. It could just run a little faster.
[12:54:24] <Tectu> ok
[12:54:31] <Tectu> i can take l297 settings?

[16:39:35] <DJ9DJ> hi there :)
[16:39:53] <DrZimmerman> i found very little information about linuxcnc and CanOpen/CanMotion interfaces, is this supported?
[16:40:56] <JT-Shop> I'm suprised you found any information on Can that relates to linuxcnc
[16:41:21] <JT-Shop> a couple of components use modbus in user space
[16:41:43] <DrZimmerman> i found some forum entries debating this matter, but nothing usable
[16:41:51] <JT-Shop> ah, ok
[16:41:59] * djdelorie couldn't even find a cheap CAN card for the PC
[16:42:09] <DrZimmerman> hmm userspace, but i thought cnc control needs realtime kernel drivers?

[16:42:30] <JT-Shop> yep the control does but not everything has to be real time
[16:43:07] <JT-Shop> does Can rely on a smart driver down stream from the control?
[16:47:15] * JT-Shop goes to make half of a peanut butter sandwich...
[16:48:03] <DrZimmerman> i have no clue, never used Can before but i get a new job soon in which i probably have to learn all these things and i'm dreaming of a DIY cnc since some time now

[21:02:10] <gene__> If I set the feedback signal gain way down, then it runs smoothly at about 1/3rd rps, but in 5 ninutes it will be up to 500 rpm
[21:03:11] <JT-Shop> doesn't that board take stepper pulses and convert it to PWM or something?
[21:04:32] <gene__> feedback signal is from the encoder.0.velocity (no, its a pwm to analog that connect where the hand control was on the machines board).
[21:04:56] <gene__> very simple, just optro-isolated.

[21:08:52] <gene__> feedback is encoder.0.velocity in rps =>motion.spindle-speed-in => scale.1.in | scale.1.out=> abs.1.in => abs.1.out =>pid.0.feedback
[21:09:02] <gene__> or is supposed to be. ;-)
[21:10:40] <gene__> that feeds pwmgen.value, and that is the signal oscillating like crazy.
[21:11:06] <JT-Shop> and encoder.0 is the encoder on the spindle motor?
[21:11:16] <gene__> yes
[21:12:06] <gene__> and its working great, except for a lot of noise in the velocity output
[21:12:48] <JT-Shop> is it a home made encoder?

[23:01:16] <r00t4rd3d> what i do
[23:01:18] <r00t4rd3d> http://imgur.com/a/9jvLj
[23:07:33] <cradek> when you do a heated floor like that, do you have to do anything special to allow it to expand and contract?
[23:14:28] <r00t4rd3d> nope
[23:14:46] <r00t4rd3d> just sets in the concrete
[23:15:02] <Tom_itx> cradek,
http://eds.dyndns.org/~ircjunk/shop/dscn8680.jpg
[23:15:11] <r00t4rd3d> thats not the main heat supply
[23:15:13] <Tom_itx> rue did his shop that way as well
[23:15:32] <r00t4rd3d> just a comfort zone
[23:15:50] <cradek> heh I mean the floor changing size, not the tubing
[23:16:07] <cradek> is it just pex like for water, or is it special?
[23:16:16] <r00t4rd3d> pex
[23:16:18] <Tom_itx> yeah i think it's pex
[23:16:37] <r00t4rd3d> we poured it today
[23:16:55] <Tom_itx> rue's got a bunch of pics in that dir
[23:17:31] <jdhNC> what I do:
http://www.physicstogo.org/images/features/reactorrods-large.jpg
[23:18:06] <r00t4rd3d> we normally dont do stuff like that
[23:18:32] <r00t4rd3d> just frame mainly
[23:19:54] <r00t4rd3d> only 3 of us but we had some help today

[23:24:31] <JT-Shop> anyone have a clue what the blue thing is on top of the commutating reactor is?
http://imagebin.org/211467
[23:25:27] <Jymmm> looks like it says SEIMENS
[23:25:55] <pfred1> Tom_itx looks like the baby pump hose to me
[23:31:07] <JT-Shop> yea, it does have $eimens on it

pfred1 has quit [Quit: Lost terminal]
[23:37:15] <tjb1> Is there a setting in linuxcnc to set an output if machine speed reaches 80% of program speed
[23:39:14] <JT-Shop> no, but you can roll your own
[23:39:19] <JT-Shop> in HAL
[23:43:09] <tjb1> Was that in response to my question?
[23:43:21] <JT-Shop> yep
[23:44:13] -!-
A1Sheds has quit [Read error: Operation timed out]
[23:44:32] <tjb1> Can you elaborate on that, I have never used linux
[23:44:59] <JT-Shop> has nothing to do with linux really
[23:45:12] <tjb1> Ive tried to find the setting in Mach3 and either it doesn't exist or I'm blind
[23:45:13] <JT-Shop> the hal pin motion.requested-vel has the current F number in it
[23:45:38] <JT-Shop> mack3?
[23:45:57] <tjb1> Yes, its another cnc controller software
[23:46:07] <djdelorie> my one HAL component reads the current velocity:
http://www.delorie.com/cnc/machineactive.comp
[23:47:14] <tjb1> I need a way to find out when the program is cutting an arc or something that would reduce the speed from straight moves to pause the torch height control so it doesn't dive
[23:47:29] <JT-Shop> yea, I know what mack3 is what does that have to do with your question?
[23:47:41] <JT-Shop> what THC are you using?
[23:47:56] <tjb1> I am making my own
[23:48:12] <JT-Shop> what inputs does it take?
[23:48:25] <JT-Shop> an up down one or one that reads voltage?
[23:48:47] <tjb1> Using the 50:1 output on plasma, and motion start
[23:48:59] <tjb1> then running the z-step and z-dir through it
[23:49:13] <tjb1> just need a way to pause it on corners and such
[23:49:24] <JT-Shop> does your THC compare the voltage and make adjustments on Z
[23:49:41] <tjb1> yes
[23:50:06] <tjb1> Im going to use an arduino to take the 50:1 and compare it to a set number and then take over the z-step and z-dir when motion start is active
[23:50:07] <JT-Shop> did you know LinuxCNC has a THC component?
[23:50:56] <tjb1> Still waiting on it to download at the moment
[23:51:17] <JT-Shop> linuxcnc or the THC component?
[23:51:21] <tjb1> linuxcnc
[23:51:53] <JT-Shop> here is the THC componet that I wrote for the Mesa THC card
http://linuxcnc.org/docview/html/man/man9/thc.9.html
[23:53:01] <JT-Shop> it is included with LinuxCNC and takes a velocity input as well as a few other inputs and hijacks the Z when enabled to keep the voltage constant
[23:55:21] <tjb1> How much is that card?
[23:55:35] <JT-Shop> holy crap it is 7pm and I've not made a cannon part yet...
[23:55:44] <JT-Shop> let me find it for you
[23:55:47] <Tom_itx> holy crap!
[23:55:54] <tjb1> Ah, found it...$199
[23:56:10] <tjb1> PCI Anything I/O - 72 I/O bits?
[23:56:47] <JT-Shop> wrong card the THC is $70
[23:57:46] <tjb1> So the 5i20 isn't needed
[23:58:41] <JT-Shop> well you need something better than the parallel port yes... I just refitted my plasma with a 5i25/7i76 combo and along with the THC card I'm good to go
