Back
[00:00:43] <r00t4rd3d> you live near PA? You got that pretty quick
[00:01:24] <r00t4rd3d> nvm
[00:01:28] <r00t4rd3d> maine
[00:01:30] <r00t4rd3d> so kinda
[00:01:33] <taiden> yeah
[00:01:45] <taiden> so
[00:01:54] <taiden> i'm not savvy on windows software
[00:02:05] <taiden> what's a decent free utility for making an *.iso from a drive?
[00:02:12] <taiden> i'm on wnidows 7
[00:02:28] <r00t4rd3d> what u trying to do
[00:02:59] <Tom_itx> you can't make one from linux?
[00:03:11] <taiden> i have a usb drive with a disk image that i need to maintain
[00:03:25] <taiden> i will be replacing the contents with the linuxcnc image
[00:03:38] <taiden> normally I would use Disk Utility under OS X to achieve this
[00:03:53] <taiden> at this moment I only have Windows 7 available to me
[00:03:57] <r00t4rd3d> do you just want to add the livecd to a usb drive?
[00:04:01] <taiden> negative
[00:04:07] <taiden> i want to make an image from the USB drive
[00:04:13] <Tom_itx> and make it bootable?
[00:04:16] <taiden> nope
[00:04:18] <taiden> alright
[00:04:23] <taiden> i have Lion disk image on this USB drive
[00:04:35] <taiden> for the purposes of booting my macs up from it for installs and restores etc
[00:04:39] <Tom_itx> you just wanna keep the image
[00:04:40] <taiden> it's the only usb drive i have on me
[00:04:44] <taiden> i just want to revert it to that
[00:04:47] <taiden> after i do linux cnc install
[00:04:54] <Tom_itx> you can't get another thumb drive?\
[00:04:58] <taiden> so i'd like to make an iso from of the USB drive
[00:05:04] <taiden> from the**
[00:05:12] <taiden> that i can use to restore it afterwards
[00:05:24] <taiden> my computer situation is all kinds of screwed up and complicated so just assume this is my only option
[00:05:55] <taiden> i just want a free utility that can make and 'burn' ISOs from and to disks
[00:06:06] <taiden> the apple equivalent is Disk Utility
[00:06:29] <r00t4rd3d> you cant just redownload a new mountion lion image?
[00:07:12] <r00t4rd3d> magic iso will probably work but its not free
[00:09:53] -!- tjb1 [tjb1!~tjb1@74.43.52.140] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:12:07] <tjb1> Why would someone put ballscrews on a machine made out of plywood?
[00:12:40] <jdh> why not
[00:13:37] <r00t4rd3d> ball screws are cheap
[00:13:50] <tjb1> seems a little overkill
[00:13:54] <r00t4rd3d> as long as you dont go too long
[00:15:01] <taiden> i'm considering belt drive seriously
[00:18:49] <tjb1> belt on belt or just belt?
[00:38:46] <taiden> either or
[00:38:49] <taiden> but mostly just belt
[00:39:02] <taiden> belt on belt is like that 'servodrive' or whatever that guy calls it, right?
[00:39:09] <taiden> supposed to reduce stretch and oscillation
[00:41:36] <r00t4rd3d> http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=97d_1345938269
[00:41:39] <r00t4rd3d> lol
[00:42:04] <taiden> <3 windows
[00:42:08] <taiden> can't format my usb drive
[00:42:11] <taiden> wont say why
[00:42:16] <taiden> probably because it's HFS+
[00:42:28] <taiden> you'd think that it'd be able to format whatever it wanted to
[00:42:32] <taiden> into FAT32
[00:45:48] <r00t4rd3d> unetbootin wont format it?
[00:46:18] <ReadError_> right click
[00:46:20] <ReadError_> format
[00:46:21] <ReadError_> then try
[00:48:50] <Tom_itx> that would be my suggestion
[00:50:42] <taiden> unetbootin just throws the files into the usb drive
[00:50:53] <taiden> it doesn't actually 'burn' the image onto the drive
[00:51:06] <taiden> right click format does not work
[00:51:18] <taiden> it gives errors on every format type or quick vs not quick format
[00:51:22] <taiden> USB drive is HFS
[00:51:42] <ReadError_> you dont have like 20 extra usb drives laying around?
[00:51:48] <taiden> (i thought it was hfs+ but windows claims it's hfs)
[00:51:50] <taiden> I do not
[00:51:59] <taiden> I only have need for one
[00:52:01] <taiden> so I only own one
[00:52:20] <Tom_itx> not now :D
[00:52:32] <taiden> i only have need for one that works :)
[00:52:33] <ReadError_> shoot
[00:52:36] <ReadError_> i have a gaggle of them
[00:52:47] <taiden> i hate software that doesn't work
[00:52:50] <ReadError_> 32gb down to 128mb (OG)
[00:52:51] <taiden> for what it's worth
[00:53:12] <ReadError_> usb 3.0 down to USB 1.0 (or w/e)
[00:53:18] <ReadError_> you need to keep a stash !
[00:53:24] <ReadError_> goto walmart
[00:53:27] <ReadError_> grab one, they are like 4$
[00:54:02] <taiden> i *hate* walmart
[00:54:26] <taiden> if I wanted to walk into an airplane hanger filled with imported crap and men with bigger tits than angelina jolie I would go to walmart
[00:55:09] <taiden> plus dont you guys also have the insatiable need to fix things?
[00:56:35] <ReadError_> well throw it in your mac
[00:56:40] <ReadError_> and deleted the partition
[00:56:51] <taiden> lol
[00:57:18] <taiden> here's the part where i tell you that my mac's system folder is corrupt because the battery in my laptop decided to go and it shut down repeatedly while I was using it causing serious file corruption
[00:57:35] <taiden> brb
[00:57:36] <ReadError_> and you havnt fixed it yet?
[00:57:51] <taiden> i coudl tell you exactly what's going on with my computers right now
[00:57:54] <taiden> and why it's the case
[00:57:55] <ReadError_> fine, PXE network boot

[01:07:12] <ReadError_> should you like uhhh
[01:07:15] <ReadError_> fix the mac 1st
[01:07:18] <ReadError_> then format it?\
[01:08:20] <taiden> haha
[01:08:20] <r00t4rd3d> hit that bitch with a hammer
[01:08:29] <taiden> i gave that bitch an australia
[01:08:34] <taiden> bitches love australias
[01:09:29] <taiden> so now unetbootin is apparently taking 50 times longer than before when it just threw everything direclty into the usb drive alongside lion install stuff
[01:10:24] <r00t4rd3d> unetbooting is not known for speed
[01:10:45] <r00t4rd3d> just for working
[01:11:14] <r00t4rd3d> copying files to usb is never really a fast process anyway you do it
[01:13:20] <ReadError_> you can single user and fsck the disk maybe taiden
[01:14:01] <r00t4rd3d> lol

[01:28:56] <Jymmm> taiden: you are using unetbootin to put an image on to the usb stick you have Lion on?

[02:06:17] <r00t4rd3d> based on thought, not on fact.

[02:18:07] <taiden> we might be able to help you figure on the gcode
[02:18:43] <r00t4rd3d> were you able to restore your grub and boot normally?
[02:21:13] <r00t4rd3d> or are you reinstalloling ?
[02:21:19] <Jymmm> taiden: you used unetbootin to put an image on to the usb stick you have Lion on?
[02:22:21] <r00t4rd3d> it didnt work he had to format it
[02:26:00] <taiden> i am just reinstalloling
[02:26:05] <taiden> eff that noise
[02:26:13] <taiden> the whole point of this was to have something reliable
[02:26:47] <taiden> good news is ubuntu loves the single 4gb stick
[02:26:50] <taiden> against intel wishes
[02:26:51] <taiden> go figure
[02:28:53] <r00t4rd3d> it will take another 4gb chip to
[02:29:00] <taiden> yeah i just dont see the value
[02:29:05] <taiden> for what i am doing
[02:29:08] <taiden> here's a dumb question though
[02:29:19] <taiden> could i make a lightweight gaming pc out of this thing with a pcie video card?
[02:29:27] <r00t4rd3d> probably not
[02:29:32] <r00t4rd3d> its a pci-e header
[02:29:40] <r00t4rd3d> not a pci-e slot
[02:29:52] <Jymmm> hdpc
[02:30:11] <taiden> hdpc would be nice
[02:30:17] <r00t4rd3d> you could add a pci video card and probably game alittle
[02:30:22] <Jymmm> taiden: what dont you like aboutit?
[02:30:28] <taiden> about what?
[02:30:58] <taiden> the only thing i can think of that i don't like right now is the fact that i have to move the house and the shop 2 hours in about 6 days
[02:31:37] <Jymmm> taiden: "taiden: i am just reinstalloling; eff that noise; the whole point of this was to have something reliable"
[02:31:55] <taiden> i did the isclolololoples mod or whatever
[02:31:58] <taiden> and video quit working
[02:32:03] <Jymmm> ah
[02:32:10] <taiden> so i suppose i didn't like the grub2 isclolpelellselspdl mod
[02:32:15] <taiden> :]
[02:32:30] <Jymmm> taiden: so got your mac fixed yet?
[02:32:49] <taiden> going to 'burn' the mountain lion usb stikc tonight
[02:32:52] <taiden> and tackle that tomorrow
[02:32:59] <taiden> also get my stupid iphone working too haha
[02:33:05] <taiden> everything i own is rigged
[02:33:06] <Jymmm> taiden: dont use time machine huh?
[02:33:12] <taiden> negative
[02:33:21] <Jymmm> taiden: you should,
[02:33:31] <Jymmm> would have savd you a lot of grief
[02:33:34] <taiden> how do you prefer to have it set up?
[02:33:44] <Jymmm> taiden: the mac?
[02:33:52] <taiden> time machine
[02:34:04] <taiden> network disk / partition / onboard disk / external disk
[02:34:08] <Jymmm> taiden: Get a USB ext hdd, one that does NOT requires a ps
[02:34:48] <Jymmm> taiden: Create a 10-15GB partition on it
[02:34:57] <taiden> that's it?
[02:35:04] <Jymmm> taiden: use disk util to copy the install media to that partition
[02:35:13] <taiden> ah yes
[02:35:30] <taiden> clever
[02:35:37] <Jymmm> taiden: What that allows you to do is actually boot from the usb hdd in the future if you ever need it and no need to find the usb install stick
[02:35:48] <taiden> yeah it's a good solution
[02:35:49] <taiden> i like it
[02:36:02] <taiden> so totally unrelated
[02:36:10] <taiden> if any of you guys cook regularly
[02:36:16] <taiden> snag a 8" Lodge cast iron pan
[02:36:25] <taiden> it's $10 with amazon prime shipping
[02:36:28] <taiden> and this thing is incredible
[02:36:30] <Jymmm> After that, when you replug it in tie machine will pop up and ask if you want to sue this drive for backups, say yes and it'll format the balance of the drive into your new backup partition
[02:37:07] <Jymmm> taiden: Then every 10 days it'll nag you to backup, plugin your usb hdd andit backs up for you
[02:37:36] <Jymmm> taiden: LOCK your hdd away in a safe place when not in use.
[02:37:58] <taiden> do you have a preferred hdd to use?
[02:37:59] <Jymmm> taiden: If your mac dies/stolen, you can restore to any mac
[02:38:12] <Jymmm> as you can boot from it as well.
[02:38:40] <Jymmm> Wd and hitachi
[02:38:50] <Jymmm> well, hitachi, then WD
[02:39:28] <Jymmm> You can even install multiple OS version on the same hdd and boot from any of them
[02:40:05] <Jymmm> lion, Mnt Lion, Seal Lion, Walrus, Hippo, Anteater, blah blah blah
[02:40:58] <Jymmm> taiden: try to get the largest size you can,
[02:41:45] <Jymmm> taiden: I say the PS-less ones only to make it easy and convientant to use.
[02:42:24] <Jymmm> Makes it easy to toss in a pelican box too
[02:44:39] <Jymmm> taiden: yo an resote from a blank hdd in about 40m, even where the icons are on your desktop, your data, apps, OS, etc
[02:49:43] <Jymmm> Neil Armstrong died today
[02:53:33] <taiden> what a legend

[14:44:46] <bpuk> we use a box at work that does exactly that - it has 1 3 pin IC and a pot in... and I'm trying to remember the part number (shifts the phase angle from memory)
[14:44:47] <taiden> you could buy a cheap PID controller

[14:44:58] <taiden> with PID logic

[14:47:11] <taiden> is it 120v?
[14:47:25] <jthornton> Tom_itx, that's a good idea, take a thermostat off of another heater and put it under the cover and leave the original one for her to twiddle with
[14:47:26] <bpuk> ah-ha - it's an SCR I was thinking of - somewhat less complex than a PID controller

[14:47:55] -!- mhaberler has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]

[17:21:24] <pcw_home> I suspect Good Old Standard Oil has paid for the fire repairs about 100 times because of the price increase
[17:21:51] <Tom_itx> no doubt
[17:22:10] <IchGuckLive> the companys make Bil out of it and now go green to the Backdoors
[17:22:15] <Tom_itx> there are plenty of other refineries around the country they could rely on

[22:59:59] <r00t4rd3d> do you make parts for it with a cnc router?
[23:04:18] <taiden> r00t4rd3d; updated bios
[23:04:26] <taiden> dual core latency is better
[23:04:32] <taiden> than before
[23:04:42] <taiden> but not nearly as good as with isolcpu-1
[23:04:43] <taiden> =1
[23:05:08] <taiden> however, using the box suffers when you do anything but linuxcnc
[23:05:18] <taiden> significantly

[23:21:13] <taiden-cnc> anyone else have a spindle that is turned on every time the computer is off?
[23:21:28] <taiden-cnc> I keep my estop disengaged when i'm not here, but it's still an awkward thing
[23:21:43] <Tom_itx> change the logic
[23:22:11] <Tom_itx> more than awkward... dangerous
[23:29:36] <r00t4rd3d> I can believe a mormon nut job from Utah is in the running to be president.
[23:29:46] <r00t4rd3d> how the hell does that happen
[23:30:22] <r00t4rd3d> first thing he will probably do is pardon warren jeffs
[23:31:47] <Tom_itx> well, they let the last one in...

[23:38:05] <cpresser> i just wrote a small script to delay the shutdown if estop is not engaged
[23:40:49] <tjb1> How much travel is "ideal" on a router on the z-axis
[23:41:50] <Tom_itx> all you can get
[23:41:57] <cpresser> depends on your application :)

[23:42:14] <tjb1> Well I don't need/want too much ;)

[23:43:42] <tjb1> With the parts I have now, I can probably squeak about 10" out max
[23:43:57] <cpresser> mine has 180mm travel in Z, which is okay for most applications
[23:46:06] <r00t4rd3d> tjb1, how low is your Y axis
[23:46:18] <tjb1> which one do you consider Y?
[23:46:33] <r00t4rd3d> left to right
[23:46:40] <tjb1> 80 total
[23:46:46] <r00t4rd3d> mm?
[23:46:46] <tjb1> 65 inside rails
[23:46:49] <tjb1> inch
[23:46:53] <r00t4rd3d> no how high
[23:46:55] <r00t4rd3d> off the table
[23:46:59] <tjb1> Oh...
[23:47:16] <r00t4rd3d> say you got 3 inches of space between your table and the bottom of your gantry
[23:47:19] <tjb1> I think its 7-8" to bottom of extrusion
[23:47:35] <tjb1> I would have to load water table and stuff to check

[23:50:02] <r00t4rd3d> I measured my lowest point and doubled it and figured out my z axis travel
[23:50:11] <tjb1> By the time I stuff 2 bearing blocks and the locking rings and the motor coupler I am going to blow a lot of that
[23:50:26] -!- chris_99 has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[23:51:32] <r00t4rd3d> say you got 3 inches between your table and the bottom of your gantry, you can only go down 3 inches and only need to go back up 3 inches so 6 inches would be ideal, a touch more for play.
[23:52:03] <tjb1> If it was 3 inches, going down 3 and back up would only require 3 inches of travel :P
[23:53:22] <r00t4rd3d> true if you only used 1 pillow block for your z axis
[23:53:33] <r00t4rd3d> if you have 4 spaced apart
[23:54:00] <r00t4rd3d> you need room for the top set of blocks
[23:54:58] <r00t4rd3d> you get what i mean?

[23:59:14] <r00t4rd3d> yeah
[23:59:43] <tjb1> I switched to the 8" long carriages instead of the 4" ones on the Z
