[16:19:52] <mazafaka> guys give me some good article for noob about the differences between steppers and servos (e.g. DC brushless)
[16:20:10] <mazafaka> there was an article but I have no link by now
[16:22:06] <pcw_home> awallin yes the PCIE card (6I25) is supported
[16:22:33] <pcw_home> Theres no SPI breakout but thats just mechanical
[16:23:52] <awallin> pcw_home: I was thinking of having some 24-bit ADCs for temperature measurement over SPI. by SPI-extension I meant 7I46
[16:24:32] <awallin> If I were to build my own cards with SPI ADC and DAC chips, would it be hard or easy to get the signals into HAL ?

[16:26:25] <tjb1> I recommend not posting a question about laser on cnczone unless you want "frank wang" and the "gweike" crew to spam you
[16:26:39] <awallin> pcw_home: oh, actually I meant the 6I68. that is the latest development?
[16:35:47] -!- mhaberler has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[16:40:25] <pcw_home> 6I68 has been supported for along time, the latest and lower cost card (the 6I25) is supported by the 5I25 driver
[16:41:56] <pcw_home> There's a HostMot2 SPI driver but because SPI devices are so different you basically need a component for setup for each chip type
[16:45:40] <awallin> pcw_home: ok thanks.
[16:46:17] <awallin> pcw_home: also I wanted to ask about counting pulses with the FPGAs, for example the 3X20. what is the fastest it can count?
[16:46:45] <pcw_home> Theres an example component for the 7I65
[16:47:12] <pcw_home> The quadrature counter?
[16:47:51] <pcw_home> the FPGA itself can count maybe a few hundred MHz
[16:48:02] <awallin> the pulses would be TTL pulses, short pulses where we just want to count how many rising edges we see
[16:48:16] <awallin> the pulse-train would not be regular, pretty random in fact
[16:50:04] <pcw_home> the encoder counter has a limit because is has a digital filter (3 clocks minimum with filter 'off') on all inputs
[16:50:06] <pcw_home> so with a3X20 (50 MHz clocklow) this is 60 nS minimum recognizable pulse
[16:50:14] <awallin> the pulses come from a photomultiplier. one of the has a 10ns wide pulse according to the spec
[16:50:33] <awallin> pulse height 2-2.2V
[16:50:46] <pcw_home> OK so that doable, but requires a different counter type
[16:51:52] <awallin> we would count the number of pulses into a register during some time-interval, say 1ms or 10ms, and then read+reset the register over PCI/HAL
[16:51:57] <pcw_home> how many channels do you need

[16:53:55] <awallin> pcw_home: for fast pulse-counting is it possible to raise the clock with PLL for some parts of the fpga?
[16:54:15] <pcw_home> Yes, I would probably just use a newer Spartan 6 card like a 5I25 (ClockHigh of 200 MHz)
[16:54:17] <pcw_home> and add a simple 32 bit counter
[16:54:28] <awallin> ReadError: wouldn't it be even greater if it was made with open-source cam + machine-controller
[16:55:05] <pcw_home> that would resolve down to 5 ns without needing a FPGA hardware clock pin

[16:57:08] <pcw_home> Its default ClockHigh is 100 MHz but could probably go higher
[16:57:30] <pcw_home> (you donr need a big FPGA for this kind of thing)
[16:57:34] <pcw_home> dont
[16:58:12] <awallin> right. well I will have to think some more about these things and convince people at work about the open-source way :)

[18:50:47] <IchGuckLive> what is on the attempt to bring linuxcnc to 12.04
[18:51:00] <IchGuckLive> is thee a timeline or still realtime issues
[18:51:25] <awallin> rtai might never happen for new kernels I think
[18:51:36] <L84Supper> RTAI is in the works
[18:51:39] <awallin> so it's xenomai or rt_preempt or something else
[18:52:20] <IchGuckLive> ubuntu studio works on realtime so it might be solved somewhere
[18:52:36] <L84Supper> RTAI has only one main dev, we won't be able to help him out until Jan-Feb
[18:53:16] <L84Supper> if xenomai gets pushed upstream, so will RTAI
[18:53:17] <IchGuckLive> ah ok so Next year it is the plan to be up to date
[18:53:37] <awallin> it seems mah's work will make linuxcnc build for a number of rt-kernels. that would give more choice
[18:53:38] <L84Supper> IchGuckLive: not sure about the official word from the LinuxCNC devs
[18:54:04] <IchGuckLive> wait and see
[18:54:04] <L84Supper> I just know that I will need it for some projects next year
[18:54:28] <L84Supper> we will share whatever we work on with RTAI

[20:50:55] <mevon> hello the PID values are set in the .ini file right? by default, if none are defined in the ini, I and D are set to 0?
[20:51:35] <JT-Shop> they can be set in either the ini or the hal it just depends on what is in your hal file
[20:53:26] <mevon> can I see to what it it set in HAL config?
[20:53:53] <mevon> it is* set
[20:53:55] <JT-Shop> can you rephrase the question?
[20:54:16] <mevon> HAL configurations
[20:54:24] <JT-Shop> http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config/ini_config.html#_custom_sections_and_variables_a_id_sub_custom_variables_a
[20:54:36] <mevon> does it show the value of P, I and D?
[20:54:43] <JT-Shop> does that answer your question?
[20:54:56] <JT-Shop> what is it?
[20:55:43] <mevon> integrators?
[20:55:51] <JT-Shop> yes
[20:55:58] <mevon> where do I set the values
[20:56:13] <mevon> in the ini section in the link you pposted?
[20:56:44] <JT-Shop> the values can be in either the ini or the hal file, it depends on how they are written
[20:56:48] <mevon> ive read this page many times I cannot say I understand every part of it
[20:56:53] <mevon> ok
[20:56:59] <awallin> if your HAL file has things like [AXIS_0]P then that value comes from the INI
[20:57:18] <mevon> ok I get that thks
[20:57:25] <JT-Shop> if it is used in the hal file
[20:57:51] <JT-Shop> your hal file has to have something like setp stepgen.0.position-scale [AXIS_0]SCALE
[20:58:04] <mevon> my last question was can I use the HAL configurations interface to see the values they are set by default
[20:58:11] <JT-Shop> to use[AXIS_0] SCALE = 16000
[20:58:21] <mevon> yep
[20:58:26] <JT-Shop> ah yes the show hal configuration
[20:58:35] <JT-Shop> or the tune one
[20:58:41] <awallin> use halmeter or halshow ?
[20:58:50] <mevon> position-scale is P
[20:58:53] <mevon> ?
[20:59:15] <mevon> thing is Im trying to reduce the overshoot
[20:59:50] <mevon> when jogging manually, holding the jog down give me a accumulated error
[21:00:01] <mevon> and after a while it gets too large
[21:00:10] <mevon> thus the f-errors I get

[21:36:41] <mevon> usb arduino
[21:37:01] <mevon> and i update the pos every 1ms
[21:37:27] <awallin> not really a standard linuxcnc way that...
[21:37:36] <mevon> ikr
[21:37:40] <JT-Shop> have fun, that is not in my guesspertice
[21:38:16] <mevon> lol well its just that insteed of setting the joints velocity, i use pos-cmd
[21:39:22] <mevon> and receive pos-fb while moving

[22:51:51] <JT-Shop> not exactly clear to me what your saying
[22:52:02] <Xabster> but 1/10 millimeter might mean that it will cut downwards into whatever is below my object

[22:52:14] <Xabster> and taking 1/10 of a millimeter off the machine itself
[22:52:22] <Xabster> when cutting completely through something
[22:53:14] <tjb1> Shouldnt be JT-Shop
[22:53:38] <tjb1> Should activate G43 at a safe position though, but good that you have the spindle on before you activate it
