[02:41:53] <r00t4rd3d> wow i just got a weird request. A lady wants a sign for a flower girl to hold instead of flowers
[02:42:00] <jp_> but how does the controller know?
[02:42:11] <r00t4rd3d> "Last Chance To Run Cal!"
[02:42:32] <jdh> it uses the stepgen output
[02:42:46] <r00t4rd3d> parallel settings
[02:43:55] <jp_> i still fail to see why the controller would see a following error
[02:44:13] <jdh> the requested step rate can not be generated
[02:44:32] <jp_> ah ok that makes sense
[02:44:52] <jdh> I've seen it when the base period was too high for the requested speed
[02:44:52] <jp_> hardware limitation
[02:45:08] <jdh> if the values are accurate, it is a HW limit.
[02:45:39] <jp_> i get it. sorry it's my first time playing with steppers
[02:46:01] <jdh> I only know because I had the same thing happen.
[02:46:38] <jp_> so if i lower my microstep rate per rev i can go a bit faster
[02:46:45] <jdh> yep.
[02:47:08] <jdh> or decrease screw pitch, or get a box with lower latency, or get a cheap mesa card
[02:47:17] <jp_> or accelerate faster
[02:47:26] <jp_> im using mesa
[02:47:35] <jp_> 5i25 and 7i76
[02:47:37] <jdh> then it is a config issue
[02:48:18] <jp_> ill drop the drive down to 1000ppr
[02:48:47] <jdh> I doubt you are hitting a mesa HW limit.
[02:48:54] <jdh> more likely just a config prolem.
[02:49:21] <jp_> just running pncconf for right now
[02:50:03] <jdh> my pncconf config did the same
[02:51:12] <jdh> stepgen.00.maxaccel and .maxvel perhaps.
[02:51:39] <jdh> for all axes
[02:51:50] <jp_> yeah when i increased those thats when i got the error
[02:52:07] <jp_> sorry in the ini
[02:53:54] <jdh> I think even my pport driven 7i43 can do mhz stepping. the pci one should be as good or better.
[02:54:45] <Tom_itx> jt's config is likely on his site
[02:54:58] <Tom_itx> he's using a 5i25 on his plasma
[02:55:24] <Tom_itx> i'm using the 7i43 as well with good results
[02:56:16] <jp_> i use the 7i43 on my mill
[02:56:25] <jp_> no complaints
[02:58:42] <pcw_home> If you have a following error with the hardware stepgen it usually means you have fairly high jitter in the servo thread
[02:58:44] <pcw_home> the workaround is to set the stepgen maxaccel about 20% higher than the machine maxaccel
[02:59:08] <Tom_itx> http://gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/configs/index.html
[02:59:21] <jp_> jitter numbers look good on the latency test
[02:59:35] <Tom_itx> that might give you a starting point
[02:59:41] <pcw_home> the 5I25 will do up to 8.33 MHz step rates, the 7I43 12.5 MHz
[03:00:13] <pcw_home> As I pointed out lately in the emc developers list the servo thread latency test lies
[03:01:03] <pcw_home> (measured >100 usec jitter via scope latency test shows 6 usec)

[03:02:39] <r00t4rd3d> stupid peer
[03:03:12] <pcw_home> Yes, you can also get that error if the steplen and stepspace will not allow the requested step rate
[03:05:11] <jp_> it's default is 1000 in pncconf. I didn't bother to change it
[03:06:03] <pcw_home> the hardware stepgen is actually OK with pretty high jitter but the driver part goes bad if you
[03:06:05] <pcw_home> dont limit its velocity corrections (of what it thinks is wrong due to jitter but is not actually wrong)

[03:06:36] <pcw_home> 1000 is probably too fast for a lot of drives
[03:07:11] <jdh> too fast would just miss steps, not cause the following error message?
[03:07:12] <jp_> checking thew drive specs right now
[03:07:45] <pcw_home> Yes it would likely cause missed steps (but not a following error)
[03:08:05] <jdh> guess I should have commented the change, you or andypugh told me what to change in mine to fix it (wasn't len/space though)
[03:08:37] <jp_> In pulse & direction mode, motor steps on falling edge of step input.0.25 μsec minimum pulse, 2 MHz max step rate. 1 μsec minimum setup time, 50μs minimum hold time for direction signal.
[03:09:25] <skunkworks__> pcw_home: just certain motherboard combos?

[03:10:48] <jdh> I was going to buy another d525. Guess I'll wait :)
[03:12:09] <pcw_home> stepgen maxaccel set to 0 (no limit) , stepgen maxvel set with no headroom are other reasons for a stepgen following error
[03:13:06] <pcw_home> the d525 is OK just dont expect it to run servo threads faster than about 1.5 KHz
[03:16:38] <jp_> well that works much better

[03:18:17] <tjb1> Do you still use collars and thrust bearings to contain ball screws?
[03:18:36] <jp_> yep
[03:20:53] <jp_> unless you have coin to spare for angulars

[03:21:49] <tjb1> So for that, I would need 16mm collars, 16mm thrust bearings, 16mm support block
[03:22:08] <jdh> he sells them all together also

[03:23:09] <jp_> I use thrust on my knee mill with no issues
[03:23:22] <jdh> or that
[03:23:49] <tjb1> Well I am just a little confused as to how im going to attach it to my stepper unless I have them machine the end or make a special adapter from 16mm-3/8"
[03:24:05] <tjb1> I know you cant take it apart...
[03:24:12] <jdh> have him machine the end.
[03:24:31] <jp_> You can take them apart
[03:24:46] <tjb1> Without dropping balls everywhere?
[03:24:48] <jdh> those are already machined for the bearings
[03:25:00] <jp_> that what the bucket underneath is for
[03:25:26] <jdh> they are finicky to repack, but not a big deal
[03:25:27] <tjb1> jdh: are those bearings also thrust?
[03:25:46] <jp_> it's not a job you want to rush but it can be done
[03:26:11] <jdh> one end is radial only, one end has thrust
[03:26:40] <jp_> im sure the screw is barely case hardened as well so cutting the ends would not be a big deal either
[03:26:47] <jdh> I think connor got a set from him like that. Might ask him.
[03:27:10] <tjb1> Wonder how high those blocks are
[03:27:18] <jdh> not a big deal, but also not enough $$ to worry about having them do it.

[03:28:09] <jdh> I got AC bearings for my mill. They were fairly cheap.
[03:28:48] <tjb1> ac bearings?
[03:28:55] <tjb1> Oh angular contact
[03:29:09] <jdh> doubt they really added much over the plain thrust bearings.
[03:29:27] <tjb1> Connor: you awake?
[03:30:10] <tjb1> Im thinking its not worth it to go for ball screw over acme on my Z
[03:31:29] <jp_> where is a good place for acme with preload nuts?
[03:32:07] <tjb1> anti backlash?
[03:32:14] <jp_> yes
[03:32:37] <tjb1> cncrouterparts has them from dumpstercnc
[03:33:02] <tjb1> http://www.cncrouterparts.com/dumpstercnc-acme-assembly-p-36.html
[03:34:35] <tjb1> Damn I dont know, might be very close to just go with ballscrew
[03:35:26] <jp_> 5/8 rolled ball screws at mcmaster carr are pretty cheap too
[03:35:43] <tjb1> $32 for that anti backlash nut, $16 for the acme screw, $30 for 2 bearing blocks, $8 for 2 thrust bearings, $6 for 2 collars
[03:36:02] <tjb1> thats $90...
[03:36:32] <tjb1> Plus some type of coupler
[03:36:38] <tjb1> I think its $20 for an oldham
[03:36:51] <jp_> http://www.mcmaster.com/#ball-screws/=iu7yxu
[03:37:55] <jp_> for some reason 5/8 is the cheapest
[03:38:10] <jp_> made by thompson
[03:38:28] <tjb1> $36 for 2 ft, $30 for nut without flange…no idea on support blocks
[03:40:03] <jp_> not much to make support blocks if you have a friend with a mill
[03:40:11] <tjb1> If I go with thrust washers, can I just have 2 of them with each on the inside of the support blocks
[03:40:19] -!- gmagno has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[03:40:34] <tjb1> Or do you need one on each end of support blocks
[03:40:54] <jp_> use a regular bearing at one end and trap the other between thrusts
[03:41:41] <tjb1> So the block near the stepper would just have a radial bearing and the other end would have the radial and a thrust on each side with collars
[03:42:02] <jp_> the other way
[03:42:16] <tjb1> constrained at the stepper side?
[03:42:21] <jp_> yes

[04:14:27] <tjb1> Just exploring options Jymmm
[04:14:49] <Jymmm> belt for a router is not an option, too much mass.

[04:14:56] <Jymmm> and force
[04:15:03] <jp_> not true
[04:15:27] <tjb1> My gantry is probably going to be around 70#
[04:16:04] <Jymmm> 2.5HP router 25000 RPM, cutting into material is too much force for a belt
[04:16:27] <Jymmm> unless you like to replace them often
[04:17:24] <jp_> im sure it could work fine soon i will know the answer
[04:18:54] <tjb1> Well rack is cheaper so I am going that direction :D
[04:19:19] <Jymmm> Everything that we tell you is what we consider "best practices". Of course, only YOU know your own requirements, so you may feel you need to do something we told you not to. Just don't say we didn't warn you.

[12:31:40] <jp_> Jthornton: yes
[12:35:41] <jthornton> you see the timing belt with one belt glued down and one belt that goes over a pulley?
[12:35:53] <jthornton> no stretch
[12:36:08] <jp_> yes look at bell everman servo belt
[12:36:31] <jthornton> is that what you were talking about earlier?
[12:36:43] <jthornton> for your router belt?
[12:36:53] <jp_> yes and no thats one way to do it
[12:37:38] <jp_> my way was simpler im not convinced that cutting forces are that high for a belt
[12:38:06] <jthornton> what is your way?
[12:38:41] <jp_> just a simple loop and size the belt accordingly
[12:39:50] <jthornton> I used belts with the ends fixed and running under a roller then over the pulley then under another roller
[12:40:08] <jthornton> seems a loop would have double the stretch
[12:40:19] <jp_> it just frustrates me to hear it cant be done yet people forget that there using nema 23's to drive a router
[12:40:36] <jp_> yes it would
[12:40:39] <jthornton> only so much power there
[12:41:11] <jp_> my point exactly
[12:41:15] -!- geo01005 has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
[12:41:28] <jthornton> my belt drive is on a plasma and I should have went one size bigger on the Y axis I get vibration from the belt if the ways are not perfectly clean
[12:41:52] <jthornton> btw, I build automation equipment too
[12:41:57] <jp_> how do you like it?
[12:42:34] <jthornton> what?
[12:42:43] <jp_> i use timing belts all the time on servo axis and get excellent performance
[12:42:54] <jp_> How do you like your belt setup
[12:43:11] <jthornton> I like it, it does what I expected it to do
[12:44:06] <jthornton> http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f163/johnplctech/Plasma%20Cutter/
[12:44:29] <jthornton> that's how I built it
[12:44:56] <jp_> I actually replaced a festo $13000 linear motor with a servo and belt and got faster speeds and accels/decels
[12:45:34] <jthornton> yea linear motors are not very fast but they are accurate
[12:47:10] <jp_> yeah they also forgot to mention when the encoder gets damaged the whole motor needs to be replaced
[12:47:30] <jp_> wasn't happy
[12:47:50] <jthornton> I think the panasonics I use are the same way
[12:48:32] <jp_> nice setup on the plasma
[12:48:38] <jthornton> thanks
[12:49:09] <jp_> i think i will have to get back to work on mine once this 3d printer is done
[12:49:28] <r00t4rd3d> I hate when I give someone a stupid number on something I dont want to do and they take it.
[12:50:37] <archivist> profit!
[12:51:46] <r00t4rd3d> elaborate wedding sign.
[12:51:58] <jp_> jthornton: when you do gantrys in emc do you just take the command and send it to two septate stepgens?
[12:52:24] <jthornton> that's the easy way
[12:52:38] <jthornton> mine is driven by one motor and a jack shaft
[12:52:51] <jp_> ah
[12:53:05] <jthornton> or split one stepgen out to 4 pins
[12:53:41] <jp_> how do you like the 7i76?
[12:53:53] <jthornton> I like it a lot
[12:54:15] <jp_> just started to play with it so far so good

[17:43:19] <L84Supper> skunkworks, I could see writing script to check on the space left in the temp dir and then having it change the permissions at some trip point
[17:44:24] <archivist> you need more than permissions fixing when running out of space
[17:44:50] <L84Supper> yeah, I'm not sure what he's actually trying to end up doing

[17:45:16] <skunkworks> Thanks.. We had a server that we don't manage where the apache error_log file filled up the drive (140gb) after fixing that - the timp file permissions needed to be fixed also.
[17:45:29] <skunkworks> *tmp

[17:46:46] <L84Supper> I've been stung by similar issues, updates that fill up the tmp or similar
[17:48:22] <archivist> skunkworks, are you on some vm/whatever where they borked the permissions when getting full, complain
[17:48:45] <skunkworks> The company that set it up made some snide remark that we must have been playing with the permissions. (but honestly - we don't touch it)
[17:48:56] <skunkworks> No VM
[17:49:24] <skunkworks> we did figure out what was causing the space issue though.
[17:49:33] <archivist> Ive never heard of /tmp having problems like that
[17:49:43] <skunkworks> Neither does google.
[17:49:55] <skunkworks> whatever - fixed now I guess
[17:50:12] <archivist> seen some stupid attempts by some admins at controlling users though

[19:54:19] <jp_> what control
[19:54:59] <JT-Shop> EMC
[19:55:25] <jp_> what is it a lathe
[19:56:09] <JT-Shop> a weird machine like a mill but no Y axis and A is in line with X
[19:57:45] <micges> what is the problem?
[19:58:31] <JT-Shop> the machine speeds up and down, I think the Z axis is slow
[20:00:42] -!- theorbtwo [theorbtwo!~theorb@91.84.53.6] has joined #linuxcnc
[20:01:37] <JT-Shop> at first I told him to use G64 Pn but got to thinking that the rotary my break that but now he says that it helped
[20:03:22] <JT-Shop> I see his max acceleraton on X is 5 and Z is 1 so that might be the problem
[20:03:23] <micges> probably when he use A axis then all axis slow down
[20:03:46] <JT-Shop> I think the A is moving all the time
[20:03:47] <micges> yes it could be also
[20:06:16] <archivist> often recommended to use inverse time mode
[20:10:18] <archivist> just trying an experiment, latency-test during a system update
[20:11:13] <JT-Shop> he is using G94, there is a combination of X Z and A moves on each line of the sample code I have here
[20:12:01] <JT-Shop> I don't know if his CAM software can properly calculate the F for inverse time mode
[20:13:06] <archivist> the rotary currently has no clue of radius and correct F using the normal mode
[20:13:26] <archivist> feature :(
[20:14:08] <cradek> he's probably misunderstanding how F works
[20:14:37] <JT-Shop> hows that?
[20:14:45] <archivist> I wonder if the css for a lathe could be show horned in
[20:14:52] <archivist> shoe
[20:15:09] <cradek> http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/machining_center.html#sub:feed-rate
[20:16:47] <JT-Shop> with an X Z and A move on every line the A should move to the end point at a speed to keep up with X and Z right?
[20:17:39] <cradek> you say an A *move* on every line. do you actually mean an A *word* on every line?
[20:17:57] <JT-Shop> yes
[20:18:01] <JT-Shop> X0.511 Z-0.1355 A4.12 F20.5
[20:18:03] <cradek> it's moves that are important, not the presence or absence of words
[20:18:09] <JT-Shop> X0.4772 Z-0.1329 A3.81
[20:18:26] <JT-Shop> every line the A is different
[20:19:23] <cradek> ok in G94 that means the XZ-only line is requested to be at 20.5 inches/minute
[20:19:38] <cradek> but it sure may be slower to wait for A
[20:20:22] <JT-Shop> and if A is not the slow one it will just keep up?
[20:20:58] <cradek> for this gcode to work right (assuming you want constant cutter-to-workpiece velocity) I'd expect a different F word for every line, whether in inverse mode or not
[20:21:25] <cradek> feed is obviously tricky in this situation
[20:22:01] <cradek> yes if A is infinitely fast you'll get your 20.5 in the XZ plane and A will follow it at whatever speed necessary to stay coordinated
[20:23:03] <cradek> like archivist says, 5 axis cam always generates G93 code for this reason
[20:23:42] <JT-Shop> I think I'm understanding now
[20:24:30] <cradek> if the A axis is a worm he might be able to set the accel VERY high
[20:25:02] <JT-Shop> its 4 times faster than the X now
[20:25:14] <cradek> only 4??? you know it's in degrees right?
[20:25:50] <JT-Shop> yes, but didn't take degrees into account
[20:26:16] <JT-Shop> degrees per second right?
[20:26:31] <JT-Shop> for max velocity?
[20:26:41] <cradek> most machines will have MANY more (steps or counts)/inch than /degree, so scale on rotaries will look very low and vel/acc will look very high
[20:26:44] <cradek> yes
[20:27:25] <JT-Shop> yes scale is 1/10 of the X
[20:28:07] <cradek> he may have his vel/acc really wrong then
[20:28:20] <JT-Shop> thanks
[20:28:30] <cradek> that will sure make it worse, but I still suspect gcode feed rate problem too
[20:28:32] <cradek> welcome
[20:28:48] <JT-Shop> I'll pass all this on to him

[22:43:22] <JT-Shop> yo
[22:43:52] <JT-Shop> hey I have a web site just like that

[22:44:48] -!- zzolo has quit [Client Quit]
[22:45:51] <Tom_itx> change the ip from the menu
[22:46:23] <Tom_itx> system -> preferences -> network connections
[22:47:24] <Tom_itx> edit eth0 IPv4 settings to manual and enter the info there
[22:48:22] <JT-Shop> ok
[22:48:51] <Tom_itx> i still don't know why it ignores the interfaces file
[22:50:57] <JT-Shop> http://184.63.140.99:81/public/BP-Conversion/
[22:51:54] <Tom_itx> is that static now?
[22:52:06] <Tom_itx> no, that ip isn't
[22:52:16] <Tom_itx> that's why you wanna use dyndns
[22:52:22] <JT-Shop> yea but set in the router to be static
[22:53:01] <Tom_itx> the outbound one?
[22:53:28] <Tom_itx> your local 192.168.... can be but is the outbound one?
[22:53:30] <JT-Shop> yea
[22:54:33] <Tom_itx> you might wanna shrink those
[22:55:06] <JT-Shop> yea, just installing gimp now
[22:55:19] <JT-Shop> last one is the 7i77 installed
[22:55:22] <Tom_itx> 2 and 3 aren't visible
[22:56:02] <JT-Shop> i just deleted a couple so refresh
[22:56:08] <Tom_itx> 324 & 325 not found
[22:56:18] <elmo40> JT-Shop: what is the large capacitor for? filtering DC power?
[22:56:45] <Tom_itx> that or zapping your tongue
[22:57:06] <elmo40> nothing like a good sizzle every now and then ;)
[22:57:08] <JT-Shop> that's one of the three parts of the power supply for the drives
[22:58:14] <elmo40> is this for steppers?
[22:58:54] -!- sumpfralle has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
[22:58:58] <Tom_itx> so you run the db25 out the pc to the 7i77 from the 5i25
[22:59:12] <Tom_itx> or is your pc inside a control box?

[22:59:47] <elmo40> I like the large cables on the lower right :)
[22:59:52] <JT-Shop> atm the pc is sitting on the rear electrical cabinet
[22:59:54] <elmo40> screw on connectors?
[23:00:06] <JT-Shop> mil connectors
[23:00:22] <elmo40> have built in shielding, I take it
[23:00:30] -!- djcoin has quit [Quit: WeeChat 0.3.2]
[23:01:30] <Tom_itx> i rewired all my stuff using shielded cable
[23:01:34] <Tom_itx> it helps
[23:02:03] <JT-Shop> ok refresh I rotated and made them smaller
[23:02:31] <JT-Shop> I assume at this point the pc will be on top of or inside that cabinet
[23:02:57] <JT-Shop> most of the stuff on the lower left will go, the vertical cards are the drives and they stay
[23:03:47] <JT-Shop> look at all the M3 stand offs in 26
[23:03:51] <Tom_itx> what do those relays do?
[23:04:06] <JT-Shop> on the board?
[23:04:12] <Tom_itx> yeah
[23:04:18] <Tom_itx> psu?
[23:04:29] <Tom_itx> there's a couple mov's on there too
[23:04:31] <JT-Shop> one is for power supply for the drive
[23:04:39] <JT-Shop> mov?
[23:04:46] <Tom_itx> the red disks
[23:04:56] <JT-Shop> oh
[23:05:09] <JT-Shop> I thought they were caps
[23:05:16] <Tom_itx> i doubt it
[23:05:32] <Tom_itx> they might be but those are usually baby poo brown
[23:05:41] <JT-Shop> ah ok
[23:06:16] <Tom_itx> surge clamps
[23:06:37] <Tom_itx> open your surege strip and you'll find some more
[23:06:43] <Tom_itx> along with some chokes etc
[23:07:38] <JT-Shop> I was just thinking I'd put a SSR in there to turn on the power supply controlled by the 7i77
[23:07:47] <JT-Shop> drive enable
[23:11:43] <JT-Shop> the only thing left to sort out is where the encoders get the 5v from
[23:12:09] <Tom_itx> get a little smps like i did
[23:12:20] <Tom_itx> it will take like 35v input
[23:12:24] <Tom_itx> i forget exactly
[23:12:38] <JT-Shop> got a link?
[23:12:45] <JT-Shop> the power supply is 120v
[23:12:58] <Tom_itx> no DC lower than that?
[23:13:17] <Tom_itx> http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/misc_stuff/5v_switcher.jpg
[23:13:22] <Tom_itx> those are what i used
[23:13:23] <JT-Shop> 24v on field power
[23:13:29] <Tom_itx> i could send ya one if you want
[23:13:36] <Tom_itx> i took the input cap off
[23:13:43] <Tom_itx> since it's only rated for 16v
[23:13:45] <JT-Shop> tiny little buggers
[23:13:56] <Tom_itx> good for like 2.5 - 3 A
[23:14:14] <JT-Shop> it only switches 16v?
[23:14:24] <Tom_itx> no it's a 5v reg
[23:14:40] <Tom_itx> but i made it for something else and only needed 16v caps on the input
[23:14:48] <JT-Shop> all my stuff is 24v on the coil side
[23:14:51] <Tom_itx> the input on yours will be filtered anyway
[23:14:54] <Tom_itx> that's fine
[23:15:01] <Tom_itx> mine is 25v input
[23:15:19] <JT-Shop> and it will switch 120vac?
[23:15:22] <Tom_itx> http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/psu/control5.jpg
[23:15:32] <Tom_itx> you can see it just left of the mesa cards
[23:15:41] <Tom_itx> no it needs DC in
[23:15:49] <Tom_itx> lemme find the data sheet
[23:15:55] <jdh> http://www.mpja.com/5V-4A-Desktop-Supply-Cisco/productinfo/18464+PS/
[23:16:04] <JT-Shop> I had to squint to see it lol
[23:16:45] <Tom_itx> http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/misc_stuff/switcher.png
[23:16:48] <Tom_itx> there's the schematic
[23:18:47] <Tom_itx> max supply voltage 45v
[23:19:02] <Tom_itx> http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm2596.pdf
[23:19:34] <JT-Shop> I'll just stick to the SSR's I have laying about
[23:19:41] <JT-Shop> thanks for the offer
[23:19:47] <Tom_itx> np
[23:20:05] <Tom_itx> i could have put it on my main supply but didn't want to push the limit on it
[23:20:15] <Tom_itx> so i put a cap on the centertap with a diode
[23:20:23] <Tom_itx> and got 25v for it
[23:20:41] <Tom_itx> that's what the cap by itself in the box is for
[23:22:58] <Tom_itx> http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/misc_stuff/board3.jpg
[23:23:01] <Tom_itx> that was the prototype
[23:23:54] <JT-Shop> your a wiz at that stuff and I struggle with it like understanding inverse time mode lolo
[23:24:55] <Tom_itx> they give you the design layout
[23:25:07] <Tom_itx> and what parts to use
[23:25:13] <JT-Shop> that helps

[23:26:51] <Tom_itx> most of those mfg have a design page
[23:27:17] <JT-Shop> yea, but you have to know a little about what your looking at to make sense of it all
[23:27:57] <Tom_itx> i should put a few more of those together
[23:28:05] <Tom_itx> i dunno how many boards i have

[23:41:04] <Tom_itx> elmo40 does it come with a bar feed for that :)
[23:42:05] <asdfasd> just modified PC power supply for something else, there is an inductor between the diode rectifier and output capacitor, and that inductor is heating too much, Im not sure wire or core, how to reduce that heat
[23:43:07] <JT-Shop> elmo40: is that a hydrolic chuck?
[23:43:39] <JT-Shop> hydraulic
[23:44:51] <JT-Shop> Tom_itx: isn't there an electronics channel of some sort?
[23:44:56] <Tom_itx> asdfasd i dunno if this will help or not:

[23:45:08] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop yes but ##electronics is sh**
[23:45:21] <JT-Shop> ah ok
[23:45:27] <Tom_itx> you can get answers a couple other place like #robotics or #seattlerobotics
[23:45:32] <Tom_itx> possibly #avr
[23:46:12] <Tom_itx> asdfasd too much heat may mean too much load
[23:46:42] <r00t4rd3d> lol
[23:47:53] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop you may get an answer in ##electronics if you happen in when they're OT but generally they're not
[23:48:18] <asdfasd> I did something similar as in this project, but the load is well below the rated, the PC psus are just tuu much over rated
[23:49:21] <asdfasd> rated at 22A, I do continuous load at 10A and only that inductor is heating
[23:49:55] <asdfasd> I tried 2 wires in prallel still heating the same
