[00:38:53] <r00t4rd3d> fiddly bits?
[00:39:20] <r00t4rd3d> tjb1, i stain the whole thing then just wipe off the flat stuff
[00:39:47] <r00t4rd3d> but u have stained the cuts before and sanded the face down
[00:39:52] <r00t4rd3d> but i have*
[00:40:10] <r00t4rd3d> paint the cuts with a paint brush
[00:40:43] <r00t4rd3d> if you put a light coat of sealer on before you cut, the stain wont take to the wood as well a the cuts
[00:40:44] <tjb1> Just wiping it off right after putting it in the cuts keep it from staining the face?

[02:14:40] <tjb1> can anyone identify what board is plugging into the G540 at the top left of the picture
[02:15:04] <tjb1> Looks great r00t4rd3d

[02:20:56] -!- jamesp has quit [Quit: Page closed]
[02:21:14] <tjb1> This thing is talking about firing the torch relay
[02:25:13] <r00t4rd3d> i dont have a clue
[02:27:15] <r00t4rd3d> the only thing i can think of is the output off the g540 is not even to trigger the torch relay
[02:27:30] <r00t4rd3d> is not enough*
[02:28:08] <r00t4rd3d> by looking at the spec sheet you should be able to tell if that is wrong or right
[02:29:16] <r00t4rd3d> say the torch relay needs 110v or someshit and the g540 only outputs 12v , that board would bump it up enough to trip the torch relay
[02:29:20] <r00t4rd3d> im high.

[08:56:49] <Valen> So I'm thinking about making a spindle
[08:57:01] <Valen> wondering how one goes about doing this with a crappy lathe
[08:59:27] -!- sumpfralle [sumpfralle!~lars@31-16-20-95-dynip.superkabel.de] has joined #linuxcnc
[09:14:51] <archivist> depends on what the spindle is for, and you could fix the crappyness
[09:22:17] <Loetmichel> Valen: a good Machinistr cam make the finest things even on a VERY crappy/weared down lathe
[09:22:21] <Loetmichel> -r
[09:22:47] <Valen> spindle is to be a metal cutting spindle in the 1-2Kw range
[09:22:51] <Valen> with tool changer
[09:23:07] <Valen> and I'm a crap machinist, my dads a bit better but not a god
[09:26:21] <archivist> part of it is doing things in the right order, part is good sharp tooling, good user and sturdy machine in adjustment
[09:27:00] <Valen> adjusting the machine could be interesting
[09:27:05] <archivist> the right order is about maintaining stiffness of the part during the operations
[09:28:02] <archivist> or you can rough turn and then finish grind
[09:29:29] <archivist> or..just get a parallel shaft er collet holder and build around that
[09:33:06] <Valen> going to be a pretty big size spindle, I'm going to build a big brushless into the back of it
[09:33:20] <Valen> so 2" OD is probably in the ballpark
[09:33:25] <archivist> the internal taper is one of the fun parts
[09:33:52] <archivist> or steal a part from a scrap something
[09:34:15] <Valen> yeah, the taper is posing something of a challenge
[09:34:27] <archivist> my southbend can do the internal tapers :)
[09:34:43] <Valen> thinking we might put the compound slide back on but getting the angle and such right could be interesting
[09:36:12] <archivist> cnc the lathe
[09:37:14] <archivist> I picked up a right angle head with a 30 sized spindle off ebay
[09:39:37] <Valen> we have .005mm linear glass scales on it at the moment, using it for DRO
[09:42:40] <archivist> http://www.collection.archivist.info/archive/DJCPD/PD/2012/2012_06_16_vertical_head/
[09:44:24] <Valen> back in a sec desiginging a computer for a friends sister
[09:56:51] <Valen> I like the use of the heatsink for scale and roll resistance
[09:59:40] <archivist> and if the spindle is for cnc mill, leave the internal taper final cut for on the machine so it is true to the bearings etc
[10:00:17] <Valen> good plan
[10:00:27] <Valen> that actually makes things much easier
[10:00:27] <archivist> point a toolpost grinder upwards
[10:00:43] <r00t4rd3d> -_o
[10:02:03] <Valen> I had that plan before but I forgot about it lol
[10:02:23] <Valen> Our biggest issue is making tool holders for it
[10:02:34] <Valen> as they require accurate lathe work
[10:03:39] <archivist> make it suitable for standard bt30/40/whateva
[10:04:20] <Valen> I was also thinking that
[10:04:46] <archivist> although I am working on a fixed length system for ER holders, I saw some at a show
[10:05:09] <Valen> I was going to have a height probe as part of the tool change
[10:06:12] <archivist> for some tool types a height probe does not cut it
[10:06:44] <Valen> hrm?
[10:07:10] <archivist> gear cutters
[10:08:05] <Valen> could you not have a known offset for the tool from the probed height?
[10:08:35] <archivist> one needs the centre line of the tool and od, the nut holding the tool is lowest
[10:09:35] <archivist> this turned 90 http://www.collection.archivist.info/archive/DJCPD/PD/2012/2012_03_31_contrate_gear_prototype/IMG_1205.JPG
[10:09:37] <Valen> wouldn't the centerline be set by the toolholder, OD in the tool table and the offset between cutters and nut shouldn't change unless you mess with stuff?
[10:10:01] <archivist> each cutter is different
[10:10:45] <Valen> yeah, but once you have loaded it and set it up, it wouldn't change from use to use other than how far it is into the spindle?
[10:10:50] <archivist> and for the smaller sizes you need to include mounting errors
[10:12:52] <archivist> needs to be better than a thou that most seem to think is all right :)
[10:14:30] <Valen> mounting errors in which way?
[10:14:38] <Valen> i want to be able to cut gears
[10:16:35] <r00t4rd3d> http://i.imgur.com/tzrtV.jpg
[10:18:31] <archivist> Valen, think of a swash plate type error, it cuts a wider slot, so the centre line needs adjusting a bit for that

[19:45:55] <cpresser> documentation for that part is quite sparse, right now i am fighting with the PIs OpenMAX implementation

[19:47:16] <cpresser> generally speaking, the PI is not fast. some say it can be compared to a PII-200Mhz X86 cpu
[19:47:22] <jdh> I got a Pi a few months ago. Haven't found anything useful to do with it other than boot it.
[19:47:43] <Jymmm> jdh: That was my issue witht he PicoITX too
[19:47:52] <andypugh> It's a fair bit smaller than a PicoITX
[19:48:09] <Jymmm> andypugh: performance or physical?
[19:48:22] <andypugh> Physical.
[19:48:34] <cpresser> however, it can decode FullHD video. On the other hand the X-Server is quite slow. I would try to use it as desktop
[19:48:39] <jdh> it was kind of cool hooking it up to a 60" teevee. Powered via USB from the TV
[19:48:42] <Jymmm> andypugh: yeah.

[19:49:45] <Jymmm> to do the other stuff

[20:05:34] <tjb1> I need some help, my Z axis bypasses the limit switch but I can clearly see the switch activate. Is there a debounce setting or something for the inputs?
[20:06:39] <r00t4rd3d> do a continuity test on your wires to start
[20:07:20] <tjb1> It works just not in certain ways
[20:07:24] <r00t4rd3d> then use your tester to check the switches function
[20:07:32] <tjb1> It works :P
[20:07:38] <r00t4rd3d> apparently not.
[20:07:50] <tjb1> …it does, just not in this situation
[20:08:35] <r00t4rd3d> I cant believe you built your machine from scratch and you need micro switches to keep it within its limits.
[20:08:40] <tjb1> If I go up-down-up-down-up-down-up-down between the switches and then send it up far enough to the trigger it blows by it and I can see the prox sensor light up…if I just go up it stops the axis on the trigger like it should
[20:09:22] <tjb1> Why, because you use soft limits?
[20:09:33] <r00t4rd3d> i dont use any
[20:09:48] <r00t4rd3d> besides what i entered in stepconf
[20:09:55] <r00t4rd3d> but i dont stick to that either
[20:10:02] <r00t4rd3d> i zero my machine to my material
[20:10:11] <r00t4rd3d> how ever I clamp it
[20:11:18] <r00t4rd3d> I want to tell the machine where zero is, not a switch.
[20:12:53] <tjb1> Thats not telling the machine where zero is…its telling it where home is :P

[20:20:24] <r00t4rd3d> most of my engravings dont go deeper then 1/4
[20:21:02] <skunkworks> tjb1, how are your limits hooked into linuxcnc?
[20:21:14] <tjb1> Shared input on G540
[20:21:23] <tjb1> through parallel port to computer
[20:21:59] <skunkworks> if you run it slower across the limit it see's it?
[20:23:47] <tjb1> Yes
[20:24:06] <tjb1> Well it can run the same speed across and trip it if I dont do the up-down-up-down-up-down before hitting it
[20:24:38] <skunkworks> I think you need to explain that better...
[20:24:46] <r00t4rd3d> i think if i used JT-Shop's align program it would make my life easier
[20:25:39] <tjb1> Its the Z axis…if I send it up-down-up-down-up-down and then up high enough to hit the switch, it doesnt stop

[20:25:55] <tjb1> So if it hit page up-page down-page up-page down...
[20:26:06] <skunkworks> how is the limit switch hooked in to linuxcnc?
[20:26:15] <skunkworks> are you wanting it to estop?
[20:26:56] <tjb1> Well its a limit so it kills the power
[20:27:35] <skunkworks> right - but do you actually have it killing power physically - or does it go though linuxcnc first?
[20:27:59] <skunkworks> my limit switches are part of the estop loop.
[20:28:13] <jdh> not mine
[20:28:22] <tjb1> linuxcnc
[20:28:34] <tjb1> I cant, I have 1 switch per axis that is both limits and the home for the axis
[20:28:53] <r00t4rd3d> you can wire all the limits together
[20:29:10] <tjb1> They are
[20:29:43] <r00t4rd3d> so set them as estop in parallel settings
[20:29:52] <r00t4rd3d> not limits
[20:30:04] <skunkworks> how is it hooked in hal?
[20:30:12] <r00t4rd3d> i think you can defined a couple uses for them
[20:30:18] <r00t4rd3d> define*
[20:30:36] <r00t4rd3d> i think its just limit and home though
[20:31:00] <tjb1> There are(going to be) 3 proximity sensors, all wiring to input 1 on the g540. They do the homing/limit for all axis
[20:31:09] <tjb1> I currently only have 1 hooked up
[20:32:06] <tjb1> net both-home-z <= parport.0.pin-10-in-not
[20:33:16] <skunkworks> what is both-home-z also hooked to?

[23:22:28] * JT-Shop leaves Harro W. Wong Fong Sang to andypugh
[23:22:43] <andypugh> I wondered what was happening there
[23:23:16] <JT-Shop> were they disappearing on you?
[23:23:37] <andypugh> I deleted all the spammers, and 4 of the real people disappered too.

[23:23:51] <andypugh> Wong Fong Samg looks OK to me
[23:23:52] <JT-Shop> we must have been working at the same time
[23:23:56] <JT-Shop> yea, me too
[23:24:58] * JT-Shop goes back to running 3-phase to the grinder and lathe
[23:29:01] <SWPadnos> on the subject of spammers, I've been getting between 10 and 100 messages a day from DreamHost saying that various messages are undeliverable because the user doesn't exist
[23:29:11] <SWPadnos> at gmail most of the time
[23:29:20] <JT-Shop> yea spammers love gmail
[23:29:44] <JT-Shop> we get thousands of spammers a day it seems like trying to register on linuxcnc.org
[23:30:19] <SWPadnos> yep, and a lot of them don't use valid email addresses, so I get the "undelivered mail" notifications
[23:31:03] <andypugh> They like to put spaces in. I guess that what is bouncing is the confirmation email,
[23:31:18] <SWPadnos> nope, not the ones I'm getting
[23:31:23] <andypugh> We could consider putting confirmation emails on manual. Or turning them off, actually.
[23:31:29] <SWPadnos> it's either no user by that name, or host not found

[23:32:34] <SWPadnos> another type (not much we can do about this one)
[23:32:55] <SWPadnos> maybe there are DH panel settings that can turn off certain kinds of these notifications
[23:33:14] <andypugh> xiao.yao looks probably genuine
[23:33:36] <SWPadnos> sure, could be
[23:33:59] <SWPadnos> that one was from yesterday, and it's possible that the mail server tried again

[23:34:39] <SWPadnos> That's the other kind of message I remember
[23:37:36] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[23:37:46] <JT-Shop> andypugh: if I turn it off then you/me can send them manual I think
[23:38:14] <JT-Shop> but knowing what I know about Joomula I better not
[23:39:12] <Valen> I'd suggest perhaps just filtering the email
[23:39:13] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: BTW... "Service unavailable - try again later" is a RFC valid anti-spam method.
[23:39:32] <Valen> greylisting ftw ;->
[23:39:42] <Jymmm> Valen: hardly
[23:39:44] <JT-Shop> and we are behind by a zillon versions 1.8 and latest is 2.5.6
[23:40:07] <Valen> ""service unavailable - try again later" is a RFC valid anti-spam method." aka greylisting
[23:40:07] <JT-Shop> Diggy Liggy Lo
[23:41:36] <Valen> for SWPadnos I'd suggest a few mail rules to just file all the errors off somewhere

[23:42:25] <Jymmm> Valen: No, it's not.
[23:42:52] <Valen> enlighten me then
[23:43:07] <Jymmm> Valen: colorlistings, implies a list is created, there is no list created or referenced.
[23:44:31] <Valen> so this method you speak of, how does it work?
[23:45:53] <Jymmm> Valen: Read RFC2821
[23:46:11] <Valen> I have
[23:46:44] <Valen> and i'm curious as to what method uses a "try later" message that isn't greylisting
[23:50:30] <SWPadnos> hi Jymmm
[23:51:13] <SWPadnos> yep, the 550 response and "service unavailable" could be used as filters, but I still get the notifications since I'm the "webmaster" for the domain

[23:54:30] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: Ok, is there an SPF record?
[23:54:42] <SWPadnos> SPF 90, I burn easily
[23:55:03] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework
[23:55:57] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: also DomainKeys
[23:56:16] -!- rob_h has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[23:56:29] <Valen> that probably wouldn't actually reduce the bounce messages much, it'll at best give another reason for the bounce
[23:56:33] <SWPadnos> no, I don't see anything in the headers that look like that
[23:56:35] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: and what MTA are we talking about?
[23:56:45] <Valen> its a good idea to put spf in place anyway
[23:56:59] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: wait, what?
[23:57:11] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: what MTA are we talking about?
[23:57:15] <SWPadnos> these are notifications from the mailer daemon to the webmaster about failed emails, which were auto-generated by joomla
[23:57:33] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: what domain?
[23:57:41] <SWPadnos> linuxcnc.org
[23:57:54] <SWPadnos> it's the automatic email when you register, saying "we'll get back to you"
[23:58:01] <Valen> yeah, your system is making the emails itself, then its bouncing from the other server, so SPF isnt going to fix it
[23:58:03] <SWPadnos> but if it bounces, I get a notice
[23:58:15] -!- micges has quit [Quit: Leaving]

[23:58:59] <SWPadnos> this isn't a spoofing problem
[23:59:06] <Valen> you are sending "from" a legit source and the bounces are valid errors, you need to try not to send the messages in the first place
[23:59:14] <Jymmm> SWPadnos: SPF record is something YOU add to the dns records for the domain.
[23:59:26] <Valen> Jymmm: YOU dont understand his problem
[23:59:26] <SWPadnos> someone uses a bot to try to register spam accounts on the forum
[23:59:45] <SWPadnos> the forum code sends an email to the (bogus) address used to register
[23:59:56] <SWPadnos> the automatically sent email bounces
