[00:13:13] <r00t4rd3d> JT-Shop, the Sheet Alignment, how is that different then offset?
[00:13:51] <r00t4rd3d> or does that just make it easier?
[00:15:16] <r00t4rd3d> i never installed my limit/home switches so i am constantly setting my own x,y 0
[00:18:04] <r00t4rd3d> so say i cut 2 of the same parts in the same material, i normally just unclamp the material, slide it forward, start.
[00:18:24] <r00t4rd3d> which is a giant pita
[00:18:31] <r00t4rd3d> for some stuff
[00:18:49] <ScribbleJ> Mmmm giant pita.
[00:19:11] <r00t4rd3d> p.i.t.a

[00:38:13] <WillenCMD> root
[00:38:18] <r00t-Shed> yeah
[00:38:31] <WillenCMD> you can set your .ini for no homing upon start
[00:39:16] <r00t4rd3d> yeah
[00:39:19] <WillenCMD> then before shut down send our machine to home and shut it off, i have observed what the normal movement is power on of stepper motor's and its usually less the .0002
[00:39:25] <WillenCMD> your*
[00:39:45] <r00t4rd3d> how do you send home?

[00:40:06] <WillenCMD> G28 X0.Y0.Z0.
[00:40:36] <Tom_itx> but be careful
[00:40:41] <Tom_itx> i send z first
[00:40:46] <WillenCMD> tom is right
[00:40:47] <Tom_itx> because they all move at once
[00:41:00] <Tom_itx> not all machines do that but linuxcnc does
[00:41:08] <WillenCMD> its standard procedure to home z first on any cnc milling machine i have seen or ra
[00:41:49] <r00t-Shed> when you say G28 X0.Y0.Z0. , I have no clue
[00:41:56] <WillenCMD> i don't always follow this procedure especially if there is no tool in the machine and now work mounted on the table
[00:42:06] <WillenCMD> thats a Gcode command
[00:42:10] <WillenCMD> go to MDI
[00:42:20] <Valen> we have home sensors now after years of not having them
[00:42:21] <WillenCMD> type G28 Z0.
[00:42:22] <Tom_itx> you say G28 Z0
[00:42:28] <Valen> they are a bit of a meh really
[00:42:30] <Tom_itx> then G28 X0 Y0
[00:42:31] <WillenCMD> press enter
[00:42:47] <r00t-Shed> oh, ive never really looked in that tab
[00:42:52] <WillenCMD> lol
[00:43:12] <Valen> putting something back into the jig is going to be less accurate than lining up on it again generally so we just line up again
[00:43:12] <WillenCMD> i use mdi frequently
[00:43:28] <Valen> we have machined whole parts by typing gcode into mdi lol
[00:43:36] <r00t-Shed> umm cause i use inch, is it stll g28?
[00:43:42] <WillenCMD> yes
[00:43:43] <Tom_itx> yessir
[00:43:52] <Tom_itx> units takes care of inch/metric

[00:44:30] <WillenCMD> the only difference in inch and metric is a math problem :)

[00:45:00] <WillenCMD> doesn't matter what leadscrew you have what pitch it is or what the dial says on the handle, when its cnc it takes care of the math
[00:45:03] <r00t-Shed> sad part is i have 6 limit/home switches just sitting in a bag
[00:45:18] <WillenCMD> they can be a pain to find a location for
[00:46:02] <WillenCMD> i use the encoder index for home, and a proximity switch
[00:46:23] <r00t-Shed> yeah thats my issue , placement and wire management
[00:46:43] <WillenCMD> rapid back until i had the proximity sensor, slow the feed down untill the index mark comes around
[00:46:52] <WillenCMD> hit*
[00:48:43] <WillenCMD> thats the method i use on all the machines i design, but i also have a mechanical switch before the end of the travel, just in case the proximity sensor fails
[00:48:44] -!- guest45674t has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[00:49:07] <WillenCMD> if they both fail, well shit
[00:50:22] <WillenCMD> kidding, it remember's its location upon start up if it goes beyond 1 revolution of where home should be if the motor's didn't move on startup it will through an error also
[00:51:10] <WillenCMD> but if that fails i have a ball pit like those in the mcdonalds play ground that the table can fly off into
[00:51:21] <WillenCMD> so nothing gets damaged
[00:51:27] <WillenCMD> :)
[00:52:25] <WillenCMD> okay now to work on the hal IDE
[00:52:43] <r00t-Shed> couldnt those commands be done with hal and buttons?
[00:53:11] <r00t-Shed> Home Z , Home X, Home Y
[00:53:28] <jp__> yes
[00:53:53] <r00t-Shed> it seems like that feature should be included
[00:54:16] <jp__> it is via the wikki

[01:51:41] <r00t4rd3d> Ive been through 3 logitech g700 mice in 2.5 years. Their most expensive model.
[01:52:31] <r00t4rd3d> All end up double clicking on a single click eventually.
[01:53:19] <Valen> replace the micro?
[01:53:49] <r00t4rd3d> i know how to fix them and i do after they send me a replacement
[01:53:57] <Valen> lol
[01:54:56] <r00t4rd3d> its a pain in the cock though

[01:56:27] <r00t4rd3d> check out the tiny ass piece of metal they rely on
[01:57:12] <r00t4rd3d> its a bitch putting that little metal piece back in the switch after you flatten it out some.

[12:45:13] <MrTrick_> evening, #emc
[12:45:59] <MrTrick_> I'm wondering - if I have a program that dynamically generates G-code, can I programmatically run EMC2?
[12:50:58] <MrTrick_> Also, can EMC2 work with the EiBotBoard? (USB serial interface, takes commands in the form "MC,dt,Xpos,Ypos\n" instead of needing step signals)
[12:55:18] <micges> hi MrTrick_
[12:56:05] <micges> no linuxcnc don't send any serial commands instead of pulses
[12:56:39] <MrTrick_> damn.
[12:56:43] <micges> but you can always write this part of code
[12:56:56] <MrTrick_> What about a program (java, say) making EMC2 jump?
[12:58:04] <micges> starting emc is simply issuing 'emc path/to/ini'
[12:58:20] <micges> if you can do this in your program then you can start emc
[12:58:40] <MrTrick_> and being able to generate some g-code and feed it to emc?
[13:00:40] <micges> after axis starts you can use axis-remote to remotely load gcode file
[13:00:41] <micges> http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gui/axis.html#_axis_remote
[13:01:24] <MrTrick_> ah, interesting.

[13:03:48] <MrTrick_> micges: It's for a plotter that operates continuously and automatically, for about two weeks straight.
[13:04:06] <MrTrick_> and then will be retired.
[13:05:02] <micges> why can't you use emc2 step/dir?
[13:06:44] <MrTrick_> well, my main concern is not knowing how difficult it's going to be integrating the rest of the program with emc.

[13:11:16] -!- WillenCMD has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[13:13:12] <MrTrick_> and emc2 step/dir is a parallel-port thing only, and I'm not sure whether the other software that has to interact with this program is windows-only.
[13:17:21] <micges> what is the 'other software'?
[13:18:07] <MrTrick_> something someone else is writing. ^_^
[13:18:30] <MrTrick_> basically, my domain is 'accept line of text, render and plot'
[13:20:28] <micges> if this 'other' is windows program then you could have problem to use emc2
[13:23:41] <MrTrick_> well yes. That's why I'm tempted to abandon emc2 and write my own motion control code.
[13:23:58] <MrTrick_> The robot is a fairly simple 2.5D plotter.

[16:04:43] <Dolence> I dont get it... I have to attach hardware buttons to have a fully functional touchscreen interface? I mean, it's suposed to be touchscreen...
[16:05:12] <Dolence> i think i will stick to Axis
[16:05:20] <tjb1> Dolence: "Touchy is a user interface for LinuxCNC meant for use on machine control panels, and therefore does not require keyboard or mouse.
[16:05:21] <tjb1> It is meant to be used with a touch screen, and works in combination with a wheel/MPG and a few buttons and switches."
[16:05:55] <tjb1> 3 buttons and a wheel required
[16:06:44] <Connor> How big a deal is it to have a motor pulley slightly over-bored? shaft is 17mm, the pulley is 17.17mm

[16:09:49] <Connor> No. Shaft is 17mm, pulley hole is 17.17mm
[16:10:04] -!- theorbtwo [theorbtwo!~theorb@91.84.53.6] has joined #linuxcnc
[16:10:07] <Connor> I slightly over-bored it by .17mm
[16:10:14] <archivist> cockup will be a bit out of balance
[16:10:29] <Connor> cockup ?
[16:11:21] <tjb1> One instructor told me to grind a O drill down a thousands and ream with it
[16:11:30] <archivist> http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/cock-up.html
[16:11:35] <tjb1> Try that before I blow $30 on a reamer
[16:12:10] <r00t4rd3d> goto a heating place that sells furnaces and get a orifice reaming kit
[16:12:47] <archivist> I better hide my reamers
[16:12:55] <Connor> archivist: So, it might be a tad out of balance.. I spun it up with the motor last night.. couldn't really fill anything except a super low speeds
[16:13:48] <r00t4rd3d> they sell adjustable orifice reamers too
[16:14:02] <Connor> other option is to swap my pulleys out.. they're basically the same. Both need to be bored out.. this one had 2 set screws in the boss, which is needed for the motor.. the other had no set screws in any of it..
[16:14:06] <syyl_ws> ever hit the actual size with an adjustable reamer? :D
[16:14:07] <syyl_ws> me not
[16:14:32] <archivist> I have hit size, boring though
[16:14:36] <syyl_ws> "ok a bit more"..."and a bit more..".."once more"..."damn, to big"
[16:14:55] * syyl_ws pulls his hat
[16:15:09] * r00t4rd3d tugs his reamer
[16:15:11] <syyl_ws> i prefer a boring head/boring bar...or a fixed size reamer
[16:15:21] <archivist> depends on ones definition of size :)
[16:15:23] <Connor> Well, in my defense.. I'm use to using the mini-lathe in inches.. but.. tried this in metric since the hand-wheel has both marks.
[16:15:33] <Connor> I just think I miss counted or something.
[16:15:33] * syyl_ws hugs his reamer-kit
[16:15:45] <syyl_ws> 1 up to 18mm :D
[16:16:07] <Connor> How's that going to help ?
[16:16:20] <archivist> I has adjustable set 1/2" to 1 1/4" plus others
[16:16:37] <syyl_ws> for a dirty rescue
[16:16:45] <syyl_ws> you can wrap the shaft with shim stock..
[16:16:47] <r00t4rd3d> get a fat sewing needle
[16:16:47] <Connor> oh, you have 1 up to 18mm.. I was thinking you were saying up the size to 18mm..
[16:16:49] <archivist> Connor, or over bore some more and sleeve
[16:17:08] <r00t4rd3d> use your penis
[16:17:16] <Connor> r00t4rd3d: Grow up.
[16:17:21] <r00t4rd3d> Nope/
[16:17:23] * archivist admits to the shim fix a few times
[16:17:36] <syyl_ws> or weld the bore up und remachine ;)
[16:17:49] <syyl_ws> or put a few massive centre punch marks on the shaft..
[16:17:51] <Connor> It's aluminum.. and I don't have a welder.
[16:17:57] * syyl_ws runs away
[16:18:19] <Connor> piece of paper or tape would be thick enough for a shim..
[16:18:26] <Connor> not sure how long it would last..
[16:18:31] <archivist> knurl the shaft
[16:18:49] <syyl_ws> 0.17 more diameter by knurling?
[16:18:57] <Connor> .17MM
[16:19:05] <Connor> That's what .007"
[16:19:17] <syyl_ws> dont know, i am metric :D
[16:19:19] <Connor> so, .0045" on either side..
[16:19:40] <archivist> it would be brutal knurling :)
[16:20:00] <syyl_ws> common technique
[16:20:09] <syyl_ws> "we enlage the shaft by brutal knurling.."
[16:20:12] <syyl_ws> ;)
[16:20:27] <syyl_ws> hmm
[16:20:35] <Connor> wait.. math wrong. .0035"
[16:20:59] <syyl_ws> best way would be to bore the pulley out
[16:21:09] <syyl_ws> and glue/shrink/pressfit a sleeve
[16:22:37] <Connor> or, swap the pulleys out.. only diff between them is like I said.. one has the set screws in the Boss of the pulley, the other has no set screws at all. I over-bored the one with the set screws. The other has to be bored out way larger that 17mm
[16:22:39] <archivist> at the last job we did the knurling trick in production for clock winding keys
[16:23:50] <archivist> you could taper bore in the pulley and make a taper adjustable bush with pulling in device
[16:24:03] <archivist> works rather well
[16:24:59] <syyl_ws> very elegant solution :)
[16:26:16] <archivist> very good grip on the shaft too, far better than grub screws
[16:28:35] <tjb1> Might grab one off amazon
[16:28:42] <tjb1> $22 and $4 to get it here tomorrow
[16:28:59] <Connor> grab what ?
[16:29:13] <tjb1> reamre
[16:29:15] <tjb1> reamer
[16:34:20] -!- ink has quit [Disconnected by services]
[16:35:08] <Dolence> ayone using gscreen as UI?
[16:36:48] <tjb1> Im thinking grinding this O drill will work
[16:36:52] <tjb1> Its already 7.99mm
[16:37:12] <tjb1> knock a tad off and good to go
[16:37:29] <Connor> tjb1: What are you trying to do ?
[16:37:39] <tjb1> make an 8mm hole for a dowel pin
[16:38:04] <Connor> ah.
[16:38:23] <Connor> could polish the dowel pin down.
[16:39:49] <r00t4rd3d> tjb1, get a sewing needle
[16:40:27] <tjb1> Guess I should wait until I have the dowel pin
[16:40:35] <tjb1> Whats a sewing needle going to do?
[16:40:50] <r00t4rd3d> act as a reamer
[16:41:18] <r00t4rd3d> or cut the head off a finish nail
[16:41:27] <r00t4rd3d> put it in a drill
[16:41:37] <tjb1> Where am I going to get an 8mm needle?
[16:41:49] <tjb1> That probably cost as much as the reamer
[16:42:02] <r00t4rd3d> they make fat ones, try joanne fabrics
[16:42:16] <tjb1> 8mm is .315"
[16:42:20] <tjb1> Thats pretty fat
[16:42:27] <r00t4rd3d> they make them for yard and stuff
[16:42:30] <r00t4rd3d> yarn*
[16:42:58] <r00t4rd3d> or just buy an 8mm drill bit
[16:43:06] <Connor> 8mm drill won't work.
[16:43:10] <Connor> it'll be oversized.
[16:43:18] <r00t4rd3d> so a 6mm
[16:43:28] <Connor> He's already at 7.99mm
[16:43:40] <tjb1> Im gonna grind this drill bit and keep checking it in a scrap
[16:43:56] <Connor> tjb1: Could chill the pin in Freezer.. :)
[16:44:19] <tjb1> Only reamer we have is 5/16
[16:44:26] <tjb1> can I get it down to that? :P
[16:45:06] <Connor> I bet you can.. that's VERY small amount.
[16:45:20] <tjb1> 2.5 thousandths
[16:45:38] <tjb1> That would work nicely
[16:46:02] <Connor> 0.000393701"
[16:46:12] <tjb1> ?
[16:46:14] <Connor> 7.99 from 8 is .01mm which is 0.000393701
[16:46:17] <Connor> in inches
[16:46:21] <tjb1> I dont have a 7.99mm hole
[16:46:29] <Connor> Oh, I thought you said you did.
[16:46:36] <tjb1> I have a drill that measures 7.99 with a caliper
[16:46:43] <Connor> Oh.
[16:46:46] <tjb1> I can make a hole .3125
[16:47:14] <cradek> you can't measure .01mm with a caliper!
[16:47:38] <tjb1> Thats what it says, I would use my mic but I would have to convert :P
[16:48:07] <cradek> are you going for a tight or loose fit for your dowel pin?
[16:48:16] <tjb1> press
[16:48:23] <tjb1> or freeze and expand
[16:48:36] <Connor> Well.. drill bit @ 7.99mm will drill out larger..
[16:48:36] <cradek> ah then if you drill with that 7.99 drill the dowel will fall through :-)
[16:49:21] <tjb1> drill bit is .3143
[16:49:40] <tjb1> which is 7.98322mm
[16:49:53] <cradek> yeah still too big
[16:50:10] <tjb1> im gonna put it in a surface grinder and take some off
[16:50:12] <cradek> if you want a press fit you need a round hole anyway - no drill will give you one
[16:50:24] <tjb1> its just to hold a bearing
[16:51:01] <tjb1> http://www.cncrouterparts.com/images/Extended%20Linear%20Carriage%20ABEC%207.jpg
[16:51:05] <tjb1> the 2 bearings inside the block
[16:51:42] <cradek> if the bearing ID is 8mm an 8mm DP won't go in easily
[16:52:56] <tjb1> it may be a 5/16 dowel
[16:54:28] <tjb1> I may just use a 5/16
[16:54:35] <tjb1> its not THAT important.

[17:06:18] <Dolence> I will try it right now!
[17:06:23] <Connor> Dolence: What your talking about is CAM. Most of the time CAM is done on the same machine that you do the CAD work on.
[17:06:43] <Connor> not, on the CNC controller.
[17:06:51] <IchGuckLive> Connor No Cad = no CAM
[17:06:55] <Dolence> hmmm, and them I send the already covnerted file to CNC

[17:09:08] <IchGuckLive> oh Portugise
[17:09:11] <Dolence> yeah
[17:09:34] <IchGuckLive> so why on Linuxcnc not on MACH3 iff you are a Windows Man
[17:09:48] <jdh> c'mon, that was uncalled for.
[17:10:02] <Dolence> me and my uncle work together, doing some "inventions" like filling machines, etc
[17:10:17] <Dolence> I have to bea linux man to use linux os?
[17:10:18] <IchGuckLive> ok
[17:10:39] <Dolence> on my house i am using Mac OS X, linux (NAS and XBMC media center) and windows on my work
[17:10:45] <IchGuckLive> no Corel is windows GIMP is Linux

[17:11:00] <IchGuckLive> Gimp is also on Windows available
[17:11:12] <Dolence> yeah, but i'm used to corel
[17:11:24] <IchGuckLive> Try Qcad
[17:11:32] <IchGuckLive> or Librecad
[17:11:41] <Connor> and for CAMing use CamBam.
[17:11:43] <ktchk> corel in linux is inkscape

[17:15:28] <Dolence> Connor ty very much
[17:15:29] <IchGuckLive> so Why if i Stay CADCAM Windows i use Windows CNC
[17:15:50] <syyl> because mach3 is crap?

[17:52:28] <Dolence> I'm on final stage of redoing eletric wiring and so, after that I will put the machine to work :D
[17:52:43] <Dolence> thank you very much IchGuckLive, thanks you guys!
[17:52:59] <Dolence> now i just need some practice :D
[17:53:51] <IchGuckLive> is this for lasercut

[18:04:56] <IchGuckLive> milling is a better then a router
[18:05:09] <IchGuckLive> Milling are most Servos router steppers
[18:05:22] <jdh> routers are better if you need routing
[18:05:29] <IchGuckLive> ktchk: i got the last now compiled and its there
[18:05:41] <ktchk> when
[18:05:58] <ktchk> now?
[18:05:59] <jdh> servo/stepper has nothing to do with being a mill or a router
[18:07:43] <Dolence> my machine have a stationary tool, and table moves
[18:07:55] <Dolence> 3 axis
[18:08:30] <Dolence> I'm not sure if it's a mill or router
[18:08:43] <jdh> what would you like to call it.
[18:09:05] <Dolence> just machine is ok?
[18:09:27] <Dolence> HAL is a good one too
[18:09:29] <jdh> You could call it Carmen.

[21:38:30] <Connor> Okay, so, what the heck is the trick to getting a 4" chuck off of a R8 Arbor? It had 3 bolts on the back that I removed.. and I can't get it off.. Or, are they suppose to come off after being mated?
[21:38:54] <Tom_itx> put the pulley in a vise
[21:38:57] <Tom_itx> measure the diameter
[21:39:04] <Tom_itx> move the cnc over half that
[21:39:07] <Tom_itx> drill a hole
[21:39:41] <Tom_itx> leave the arbor on it
[21:40:19] <Connor> Kinda hard to use the chuck on the rotary table if it's on the arbor..
[21:40:53] <Tom_itx> mark it before you separate it
[21:41:21] <Connor> I did.
[21:41:29] <Connor> with a sharpie.
[21:41:35] <Connor> but, I can't get it apart.
[21:41:38] <Tom_itx> that's not very permanenet
[21:41:44] <Tom_itx> oil will remove that
[21:42:20] <Connor> Marking isn't going to do me any good if I can't get it apart.

[22:28:34] <r00t4rd3d> why is a motorcycle called a "motor"cycle, shouldnt it be called an enginecycle?
[22:28:53] <Tom_itx> Dolence reverse them
[22:29:03] <r00t4rd3d> motors are electric, engines are gas.
[22:29:06] <Tom_itx> what's your scale?
[22:29:29] <Dolence> change the switches position or can I do it on software?

[22:43:48] <Dolence> do you know whats the meaning of "joint 0 on limit switch error" ?
[22:45:07] <jdh> your first axis is either on the limit switch, or the logic is inverted.
[22:46:52] <Tom_itx> yeah you need to set up your limit switches next
[22:46:55] <Dolence> when I do a home scan, tjhe limit is being activaded
[22:47:06] <Tom_itx> or disable them
[22:47:19] <Dolence> hmmm, I already had limit pins setted on wizard

[22:53:43] <Tom_itx> read about it first
