[01:04:02] <andypugh> I think I definitely need to look at up-speeding my spindle. Now I have the encoder I can confirm that it runs 50-1000rpm in high gear, and 0.5 to 45rpm in low gear. I wanted a milling machine not a clock or a record player.

[01:15:05] <andypugh> Tom_itx: There were two optional belt ratios and 2 optional vertical head ratios. The belt ratios gave 1000 or 1500 rpm on the horizontal spindle, and the vertical head head gave either 1:1 or 1.86:1 depending on option. So 2800rpm was a standard option. I have the slowest possible combination. I can compensate for the belt ratio with the VFD, but I am chary of going all the way to 140Hz on the VFD to emulate the high-sp

[02:08:54] <jdh> I punched one hole in SS with a harbor freight punch set.
[02:08:58] <Tom_itx> how thick?
[02:09:10] <jdh> it was a SS outlet cover thing
[02:09:13] <Tom_itx> jdh was the punch junk afterward?
[02:09:14] <Jymmm> 0.024"
[02:09:16] <jdh> they gave me a new one

[02:09:33] <Jymmm> jdh: which one?
[02:09:57] <jdh> I don't remember. Probably 1", it was a switch mount
[02:10:02] <Tom_itx> Jymmm use the end of a pipe and sharpen it

[02:12:52] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: 50K+
[02:13:35] <Tom_itx> you need something made from tool steel properly
[02:14:30] <Tom_itx> with dowel guide pins springs to return it and cork in the relief to push out the part
[02:15:00] <Jymmm> Yeah, no mill and no off the shelf stock the size I'd prefer
[02:15:31] <Tom_itx> maybe a .090" straight cutting edge so it can be sharpened and then maybe a 2 or 3 deg relief angle from there on back
[02:16:00] <Tom_itx> we used to make them for punching out aluminum aircraft parts
[02:16:03] <Tom_itx> non critical parts
[02:16:23] <Tom_itx> +-.030 from mylar drawings
[02:18:11] <Jymmm> might have to have it made

[02:19:04] <Tom_itx> may be cheaper
[02:19:25] <Tom_itx> somebody's gonna have to make tooling though
[02:19:59] <Jymmm> If Ido enough searching, I'll find it, but it'll take a while
[02:20:26] <Tom_itx> i worked at a place that stamped parts out like that too
[02:20:28] <Jymmm> oh fuck.... hang on
[02:20:36] <Tom_itx> up to maybe 8" discs
[02:20:50] <Tom_itx> maybe a bit bigger
[02:21:00] <Jymmm> found em
[02:21:03] <Tom_itx> but they were mild steel

[11:19:56] <Jymmm> jthornton: you up at 6am on a saturday
[11:20:44] <jthornton> yea, slept in for a change
[11:20:53] <Jymmm> oh, heh
[11:21:11] <jthornton> usually up at 5am
[11:21:35] <Jymmm> jthornton: Didn't realize it. usually dont see you till 8ish
[11:22:31] <jthornton> I'm usually reading the forum, banning spammers etc.
[11:23:24] <Jymmm> jthornton: LOL, Hey I need about 2.5" disc punched from 0.024" SS, suggestions?
[11:24:19] <jthornton> you need 1 or 10,000?
[11:24:26] <Jymmm> 50K
[11:24:36] <Jymmm> But, I dont need all that many immediatly
[11:25:41] <Jymmm> jthornton: I can get away with 100+ for now.
[11:27:30] <jthornton> 100 would be kind of expensive to make a die for, stacked and cut on a water jet maybe...
[11:27:58] <Jymmm> jthornton: can a waterjet engrave?
[11:29:20] <jthornton> dunno
[11:29:24] <jthornton> but doubt it
[11:29:56] <Jymmm> jthornton: I sent out RFQ's to a few precision sheet metal place, what they've been quoting so far is really out there.
[11:30:16] <Jymmm> I like the stacked idea though.
[11:30:56] <jthornton> if you don't spec the tolerance correctly the price of an item goes up exponentially
[11:31:32] <Jymmm> Well, I told them I'm really flexible
[11:32:45] <jthornton> flexible is subject to interpretation and shops don't like that
[11:32:52] <Jymmm> ah
[11:33:17] <Jymmm> Well, I think much of the price they gave was due to the laser engraving on SS.
[11:33:33] <jthornton> you have to give them exact tolerance like 2.5" +- 1/8"
[11:33:57] <jthornton> ask them to break out each op in the quote
[11:34:22] <Jymmm> I did ask them to itemize the quote, none of them did
[11:35:07] <Jymmm> Hell, I had oen place decline, and had to put a flame under the asses of two others to even get a quote.
[11:36:45] <jthornton> in that case what you got was "I don't want to do this job but if you pay this much I'll be happy to do it"
[11:37:09] <Jymmm> I'm sure, I'm just nto sure why, it's an easy job.
[11:38:32] <Jymmm> except for the laser engraving
[11:38:37] <jthornton> many things look easy till you try and do them
[11:39:04] <Jymmm> jthornton: can your plasma cut that thin of SS ?
[11:42:19] <jthornton> the thinest listed on the cut chart for ss is 24ga
[11:43:40] <Jymmm> oh, so you can. would it warp?
[11:44:32] <jthornton> I've never tried to cut 24ga, I don't even know how one would touch off much less hold the material still
[11:45:11] <jthornton> I'm guessing you would need some kind of frame to stretch the material to keep it flat
[11:45:13] <Jymmm> ah
[11:51:05] <jthornton> does it have to be laser etched? you can't use a pad printer?
[11:51:29] <Jymmm> jthornton: Text needs to withstand 1200F+
[11:51:39] <jthornton> ah
[11:51:46] <Jymmm> Unless thee is a high temp ink
[11:51:49] <Jymmm> there
[11:52:29] <jthornton> there might be... what does header paint withstand?
[11:52:42] <Jymmm> 600F iirc
[11:53:37] <Jymmm> hmmmm 2000F

[12:55:36] <andypugh> wb mah
[12:57:21] <jthornton> andypugh, did you ever run a BLDC from the arduino?
[12:57:46] <andypugh> Yes.
[12:58:52] <andypugh> Well, I ran a resolver-feedback AC servo from an Arduino. A conventional BLDC would probably be easier.
[12:59:40] <jthornton> hmm so you need some kind of switch to power the windings and read the position with the hall inputs?
[13:00:29] <andypugh> However, I seem to recall some problem with the Arduino not dong phase-locked three-phase PWM easily, so I ended up using a single PWM output gating a buffer chip.
[13:00:53] <andypugh> Yes, if you have halls it is all rather simple.
[13:01:23] <jthornton> I imagine simple once you know how :)
[13:02:03] * jthornton searching for some info on the web but not really finding much
[13:03:10] <andypugh> If you have the right hall pattern decoding no phases ever go straight from high to low-side drive, so you don't actually have to take precautions about shoot-through. Though the Arduino PWMs allow you to set up two thresholds on the same counter so that you can cover for it anyway.
[13:04:20] <jthornton> just found a graph of the hall output and I can see that only one hall changes at a time
[13:05:47] <jthornton> ah found a Microchip AN885 Brushless DC Motor Fundamentals pdf

[13:10:18] <r00t4rd3d> i have one of those, what should i do with it

[13:36:14] <jthornton> Tom_itx, thanks, and yes I assume 3 phase
[13:36:33] <jthornton> I have one with a built in drive but I need more than it can provide
[13:36:37] <Tom_itx> http://www.atmel.com/Images/doc8311.pdf
[13:36:42] <Tom_itx> there's one for the xmega series
[13:36:54] <Tom_itx> it would be more robust probably
[13:37:02] <Tom_itx> but they're 3.3v chips
[13:37:13] <jthornton> what does that mean?
[13:37:26] <Tom_itx> it means you run them at 3.3v not 5
[13:37:57] <Tom_itx> non tolerant i believe, they may be 5v tolerant on the io... i don't know enough about them yet
[13:38:55] <Tom_itx> they're alot more complex than the regular 8bit avrs
[13:39:40] <jthornton> this is what I have atm

[13:42:35] <Tom_itx> An external potentiometer (10K) or external voltage (0-5VDC) can be used to control the speed
[13:43:12] <Tom_itx> the xmega have dac out i believe
[13:43:31] <Tom_itx> so you read the hall feedback and spit out dac to the control on the motor

[13:59:42] <Tom_itx> you may have to do your own comutation with that one
[13:59:48] <Tom_itx> i can't tell from that page

[14:01:40] <Tom_itx> the link?
[14:01:42] <Tom_itx> These star wound motors come with integrated hall sensors for closed loop control for velocity applications
[14:01:54] <Tom_itx> they're confused

[14:02:12] <jthornton> I stay confused
[14:03:19] <Tom_itx> it doesn't have the built in controller like the first one
[14:03:39] <jthornton> no, these are just BLDC motors with gear boxes attached
[14:03:59] <Tom_itx> so you would have to do your own BLDC function and feedback

[14:09:18] <jthornton> they have other models
[14:09:37] <Tom_itx> depends how cheap you are :)
[14:09:52] <Tom_itx> the avr will do it but you have to write your own
[14:10:01] <jthornton> depends on how much torque I need for the application really
[14:10:13] <Tom_itx> i have quadrature for one already
[14:10:17] <Tom_itx> using pcint
[14:10:52] <JessicaRN> you all talking about using a avr as a stepper driver? (sorry... came in the middle)

[15:47:09] <pcw_home> common exception is a step motor which is a brushless 2 phase normally 50 pole motor
[15:49:54] <andypugh> This is what you get when you run a stepper as a brushless.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SozZ7af3wg
[15:52:18] <jthornton> so that is a stepper with hall feedback?\
[15:52:27] <andypugh> Encoder feedback.
[15:52:38] <jthornton> cool
[15:52:51] <andypugh> Though you probably _could_ do it with halls.
[15:53:41] <pcw_home> You need to have about 10 times the step size encoder resolution
[15:53:59] <andypugh> Hmm. Using halls as encoder feedback on steppers is a really neat idea. Is there a patent lawyer in the house?
[15:55:07] <andypugh> pcw_home: For an encoder, yes. But if you are tracking whether the last step "worked" and not sending the next step until has...
[15:56:03] <r00t4rd3d> every app Vectric makes is awesome
[15:59:55] <pcw_home> Yeah if it were just used to keep in sync with the rotor (and not get better than 1/2 step or so resolution)
[16:01:12] <pcw_home> Is seems to me you would have to mimic the rotor/stator magnetics away from the stator coils (a rotor extension)
[16:01:57] <andypugh> It might be worth an experiment. I can imagine it would be easy to make replacement motor end-covers.
[16:02:12] <pcw_home> just 2 sensors

[16:11:52] <jthornton> another few inches to go I suspect
[16:12:23] <pcw_home> But if you could use the magnetic rotor of a hybrid stepper and so matching pole pieces on a HAL stator pickup with interpolation, then you would have something (a absolute over one electrical rotation relatively high res encoder permanently synced with the rotor)

[19:49:48] <joe9> i added a tool length probe switch. instructions at
http://forscience.nl/?p=144 work fine. I can see the False and True states in HalMeter.
[19:50:03] <joe9> Now, I am checking this out
http://forscience.nl/?p=197
[19:50:40] <joe9> and it feels that I do not need it. I just need to program M6 so that the machine automatically does a "tool length" probe, whenever there is a tool change.
[19:51:07] <joe9> Is adding the gui component as mentioned in the tutorial superior to just a custom program to M6?
[19:51:13] <joe9> any thoughts, please?
[19:51:48] <joe9> i see the instructions here:
http://softsolder.com/2010/04/14/emc2-ugliest-tool-length-probe-station-ever/ and they do not seem to be for M6
[19:52:11] <joe9> It just seems to be a standalone program for "tool length probe". I could be wrong.
[19:52:46] <jthornton> to change the behavior of M6 you will need to look at master
[19:52:58] <jthornton> do you need a link to the documents on that?
[19:53:03] <joe9> andypugh: any thoughts, please?
[19:53:16] <joe9> jthornton: I think I am going down the wrong path.
[19:53:27] <andypugh> Which path do you want to go down?
[19:53:33] <joe9> I don't want to change how M6 works. just to call this tool length probe function when M6 happens.
[19:53:50] <joe9> andypugh: is this what you meant yesterday?
[19:53:59] <andypugh> So, you are happy to have an extra bit of G-code after the M6 command/
[19:54:09] <joe9> andypugh: i want to stick with your recommendation. so, that any tool change automatically does the length check.
[19:54:23] <andypugh> Then you need to change M6
[19:54:32] <andypugh> Ah, actually...
[19:54:37] <andypugh> You might not need to.
[19:54:58] <jthornton> classicladder?
[19:55:03] <joe9> oh, ok. how about a sed script that "s/M6/M6 <more gcode>/g" for my gcode programs?
[19:55:07] <joe9> is that good enough.
[19:55:13] <andypugh> MDI_COMMAND on the tool-change pin...
[19:56:56] <joe9> http://softsolder.com/2010/12/06/improved-tool-length-probe-switch/ seems to be pretty good.
[19:57:07] <joe9> andypugh: is ^^ that how you are thinking?
[19:58:09] <andypugh> I am not thinking. You are the one doing the thinking.
[19:58:10] <joe9> andypugh: is there something that I can do to replicate the homing behaviour for tool length probe too?

[19:59:12] <r00t4rd3d> i think andy posted it
[19:59:38] <joe9> r00t4rd3d: that is the switch I have
[19:59:46] <joe9> i worked off of it.
[19:59:49] <r00t4rd3d> i could make that, just not sure how to set it up
[20:00:29] <r00t4rd3d> i think you could use that as a z homing switch
[20:00:44] <joe9> but, could not find any gcode on how it works.
[20:01:28] <r00t4rd3d> it would be your machine setup, not gcode
[20:02:11] <r00t4rd3d> you would set that switch to z home in the parallel settings
[20:02:33] <joe9> r00t4rd3d: i have the same switch and wired similarly.
[20:02:36] <joe9> r00t4rd3d: gotcha.
[20:02:46] <joe9> so, this new switch will become the z-home switch.
[20:02:49] <r00t4rd3d> im guessing though
[20:02:51] <joe9> is that what you mean?
[20:02:55] <r00t4rd3d> yeah
[20:03:04] <joe9> i already had a z-home switch at the top.
[20:03:21] <joe9> which I use as a limit switch too.
[20:03:35] <joe9> I just wanted to add a tool length probe switch to measure the tool length.
[20:03:57] <joe9> I want the existing limit switch to work
[20:04:12] <joe9> r00t4rd3d: does that make sense?
[20:05:26] <r00t4rd3d> im not sure on probes at all

[20:08:45] <andypugh> joe9: I just managed to make LinuxCNC run G-code automatically after a tool-change using MDI_Command. But I have a feeling it won't work inside a program.
[20:10:00] <joe9> andypugh: Do you think this could work for me?
http://softsolder.com/2010/12/06/improved-tool-length-probe-switch/ Is this what you had in mind when you recommended the tool length probe.
[20:10:09] <joe9> not exactly that but that idea, I mean.
[20:10:37] <andypugh> I have no idea which "idea" there you are talking about.
[20:11:58] <andypugh> Yes, you probably could bolt a microswitch to your machine table.
[20:12:14] <andypugh> Yes you could use G-code to control the probe move.
[20:13:39] <Jymmm> joe9: a micro switch with a long lever on it would provide more sensativity if you need it
http://www.isplc2006.org/b2b/pics/Micro_Switch.jpg
[20:14:02] <andypugh> Jymmm: Les sensitivity

[20:14:35] <r00t4rd3d> http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=9d6_1344053879
[20:15:37] <Jymmm> andypugh: more precision?
[20:16:37] <andypugh> No. It takes more travel to operate the switch with the lever, so variations in switching point are larger variations in tool travel.
[20:18:35] <Jymmm> andypugh: more macho?

[20:24:45] <joe9> andypugh: that is helpful.
[20:25:42] <andypugh> It looks like 8 lines of Gcode. You could just insert it when required, or put it in a named subroutine and use O<toollength> call
[20:27:06] <andypugh> The alternative is to change the behaviour of M6, which is possible, but not trivial:
http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/remap/structure.html
[20:33:06] <joe9> changing M6 behaviour seems to be a more involved. let me get the subroutine stuff working first.

[22:05:49] <Jymmm> well, *IF* by a slight chance it is, he'll get over it.
[22:06:53] <jthornton> I should give mah credit for this "Pavel committing a patch ;-)"
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=4cf_1343665540
[22:08:25] <Jymmm> wtf
[22:08:26] <andypugh> looks like they got away with it.
[22:08:35] <Jymmm> grenade?
[22:08:52] <Jymmm> (suicide) grenade
[22:08:57] <andypugh> Maybe a floating grenade?
[22:09:08] <jthornton> short fuse I'd think
[22:09:18] <andypugh> But it seemed like a very short timer
[22:09:19] <Jymmm> one thing for sure, dumbasses with a grenade
[22:09:41] <Jymmm> 2s fuse
[22:10:37] <jthornton> I can't quit staring at jtgui
[22:11:06] <Jymmm> jt? he's such a whore.
[22:11:42] <andypugh> I am working on laser-rasta-gui. Or, rather, the motion controller for it.
[22:12:03] <Jymmm> rasta?
[22:12:07] <Jymmm> ya mon
[22:12:23] <andypugh> Yeah, I like the idea of Bob Marley with a laser.
[22:12:46] <Jymmm> precision doobage?
[22:13:14] <andypugh> I suspect it might all be a bit vague, actually.

[22:17:19] <joe9> is that too high?
[22:17:27] <joe9> i have a search velocity of 0.1
[22:17:33] <joe9> this is in inches
[22:22:10] <andypugh> Search vel should be as high as possible such that the machine can still stop before crushing or over-running the switch.
[22:23:18] <andypugh> latch_vel should be as slow as makes sense given the accuracy of your switch. Think in terms of how far the machine moves in 1mS
[22:24:18] <joe9> oh, once I think in terms of mS, then I guess what I have is not that bad.
[22:24:19] <joe9> thanks.

[22:40:57] <Tom_itx> did i hear andypugh volunteer to rewrite axis in glade?
[22:41:04] <Tom_itx> looks nice jthornton
[22:41:10] <jthornton> yea, I think that's what he said
[22:41:12] <jthornton> thanks
[22:41:27] <andypugh> Tom_itx: No, you heard me asking for volunteers. Well done.
[22:42:02] <Tom_itx> how hard would it be?
[22:42:25] <andypugh> If ye ken Python, posibly quite easy.
[22:42:39] <Tom_itx> i don't know python or glade
[22:42:42] <andypugh> Actually, the Python already exists,.
[22:42:45] <Tom_itx> but i'm interested in it
[22:42:54] <andypugh> Well, perhaps you ought to learn :-)
[22:42:59] <jthornton> read my tutorials
[22:43:05] <Tom_itx> perhaps you should teach us
[22:43:22] <andypugh> Who is "you"?
[22:43:30] <Tom_itx> yeah you
[22:43:44] <andypugh> I know _nothing_ about Pythin
[22:43:52] <Tom_itx> i'm doing good to boot linux
[22:43:55] <andypugh> I can't even spell it.
[22:43:58] <Tom_itx> heh
[22:44:23] <Tom_itx> jthornton you're using the builtin gui for linuxcnc with a glade front end?
[22:44:33] <Tom_itx> err backend of linuxcnc
[22:44:45] <joe9> i have this setup in my .hal file:
http://codepad.org/W6bBDgLV
[22:45:03] <joe9> How do I know when this "tool-length-probe-in-filtered" is triggered?
[22:45:06] <joe9> in gcode.
[22:45:17] <joe9> in halmeter, I can debounce.0.3.out
[22:45:18] <jthornton> Tom_itx, ?
[22:45:27] <joe9> see that the value is being triggered.
[22:45:41] <jthornton> GladeVCP and LinuxCNC and a little python
[22:45:45] <joe9> but, am not sure how to read this "tool-length-probe-in-filtered" in gcode.
[22:46:03] <Tom_itx> jthornton, how do you hook glade to the backend of linuxcnc?
[22:46:53] <jthornton> that will be in tutorial 3 and it is only a few lines long
[22:48:51] <Tom_itx> so what do i need to load to get started?
[22:49:03] <Tom_itx> i can put off my touch probe longer :)
[22:49:20] <jthornton> to get started with GladeVCP?
[22:49:42] <Tom_itx> isn't gladevcp builtin linuxcnc as a front end option?
[22:49:58] <Tom_itx> are you using glade or gladevcp?
[22:50:02] <jthornton> yes
[22:50:07] <Tom_itx> :)
[22:50:07] <jthornton> and python
[22:50:26] <Tom_itx> glade does the screen and python makes it work
[22:50:55] <jthornton> gladevcp makes it work really if I understand correctly
