[00:23:07] <JT-Shop> http://linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/man/man9/thc.9.html
[00:24:04] <PCW> you will have to add the encoder comp and wire its velocity out to the thc comp
[00:25:40] <tjb1> Reading
[00:25:45] <tjb1> :)
[00:25:52] <PCW> the man page is a bit more specific than it needs to be (any encoder velocity signal should work)
[00:26:38] <PCW> you will also need to jumper the THCAD so it generates a frequency that the software encoder counter can read

[00:27:42] <tjb1> Which part determines where the jumper is set?
[00:27:47] <tjb1> The frequency the BOB can transmit?
[00:28:23] <PCW> probably your base thread frequency
[00:29:19] <JT-Shop> this? HAL Plasma Connections hm2_5i20.0.encoder.00.velocity => thc.encoder-vel
[00:29:28] <PCW> which determines how fast the inputs can be sampled
[00:30:17] <PCW> Yes. You may also need a low-pass filter to get enough resolution with the software encoder
[00:30:57] <PCW> encoder.velocity --> lowpass--> THC input
[00:30:59] <tjb1> So that would end up being something like parport.1.encoder.00.velocity => thc.encoder-vel
[00:31:04] <Valen> pcw or any other clever person, somebody was on here recently having issues with a rotary axis doing exact stop moves only not G64 P style, was that resolved?

[00:31:37] <Valen> I'm going to get a rotary soon so i'm somewhat interested too
[00:31:51] <PCW> Not that I know of, Andy had a nice video demo of the bug
[00:32:55] <Valen> I suggested a workaround for his paticular issue by using the rotary axis as a linear but its much less than ideal
[00:33:33] <PCW> JT-Shop, yes it should work with any encoder input tha has decent velocity estimation though you may need a low-pass filter
[00:34:11] <tjb1> PCW - parport.1.encoder.00.velocity => thc.encoder-vel?
[00:34:26] <tjb1> Well thats using parport 1 and it doesnt have an encoder pin so scratch that.
[00:34:36] <Valen> andypugh: you are playing with rotating ballnuts hrm?
[00:34:39] <PCW> Yes but like I said you will likely need a lowpass in there
[00:35:13] <Valen> My local hywin rep said the pre-made ones only come where the lead matches the diameter of the screw, IE the 25mm nut has a 25mm lead which is less than ideal
[00:35:35] <tjb1> PCW: software filter?
[00:35:39] <tjb1> http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/lowpass.9.html

[00:36:27] <andypugh> As I see it they are 100% equivalent and you should choose which way you go on the basis of other factors.
[00:36:43] <JT-Shop> at the time it was monkey see monkey do...
[00:37:02] <Valen> I figured the lube arrangement may well be different as could the returns given all that spinning

[00:41:35] <andypugh> Time to find out what is left of option 2
[00:41:38] <Valen> I'd probably just mill out the "casting"
[00:42:03] <Valen> the reason I'm interested is we are doing a half sheet mill/router and want some decent speeds
[00:42:10] <andypugh> It will cost me £25 if I make the pattern out of MDF.
[00:42:23] <Valen> thats dirt cheap, where are you getting the casting done?
[00:42:31] <andypugh> Birmingham
[00:42:52] <andypugh> It's cheaper than the blank in steel.
[00:42:57] <Valen> by the same token I can get 25mm offcut 6061 blocks for around $25 australian so its kinda a wash ;->
[00:43:06] <Valen> your casting it in iron or Al?

[00:43:24] <PCW> Is the spinning ball nut common in CNC machines?
[00:43:33] <Valen> nice
[00:44:27] <Valen> it isn't its used more commonly in high speed positioning systems, but I think it'll become more popular in milling type applications
[00:44:35] <andypugh> I am using castings partly because I want to keep the machine looking like Harrison made it. I am rather infected with the vintage vehicle ethos.
[00:44:47] <PCW> nicely avoids whipping for high speeds
[00:45:02] <Valen> rofl!
[00:45:22] <Valen> we are making our router/mill out of 4x4 RHS steel ;->
[00:45:42] <Valen> (the other machine the "mill" is going to be 400kg of epoxy granite)
[00:45:50] <andypugh> Exactly. And it means that the motors are not waving about with the mass and wiring issues that introduces.

[00:46:50] <Valen> I think after the whipping (which is what I'm looking at it for, over 1200 I need like 25mm screws or a 10mm lead to avoid it at only 4m/minute) the biggest impact would be on inertia

[00:50:10] <Valen> and mounting stuff onto it
[00:50:18] <Valen> we aren't always going to do full sheets
[00:50:21] <PCW> hard to make a water tray (though I guess you could make a water curtain)
[00:50:21] <JT-Shop> kinda hard to keep the water in the table with a vertical plasma cutter

[00:55:04] <Valen> do you have an "in" with them or is that just their usual pricing?
[00:55:57] <toastyde1th> andypugh, do you do a lot of casting?
[00:56:27] <andypugh> I personally do none. (I used to when I had a foundry at work, though :-) )

[00:57:18] <Valen> lol
[00:57:36] <toastyde1th> oh
[00:58:51] <andypugh> That is their normal pricing. I actually send my patterns to a friend who is rebuilding a 1912 truck (oldest Dennis truck extant) who has a relationship with them, but it isn't special pricing.
[01:00:32] <andypugh> That part might actually be £30 but this was definitely £100 all-in:
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/3nh6qw_vccyheS13Perwa9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink
[01:00:48] <Valen> no minimum order or any of that crap?

[01:02:58] <andypugh> Sadly so.

[01:04:13] <andypugh> That's both quite a lot, and baffflingly few :-)
[01:05:49] <PCW> I guess the detectors are like Geiger counters so output pulses
[01:06:46] <PCW> might be a CAT-scan type of deal

[01:12:44] <andypugh> Oh, and FEA
[01:13:59] <andypugh> (I also know very little electronics)
[01:16:29] <andypugh> What sort of rate were the counters looking at? I guess that as the CAT detector rotates then it is the position that gives the spatial resolution, and the channels that give the density data?
[01:17:22] <PCW> They are 16 bit and polled at 20 ms so 12 MHz max
[01:17:28] <andypugh> Tomography is really rather clever.
[01:18:15] <PCW> sorry 3 MHz
[01:18:38] <PCW> pulses are 100 ns wide nominally
[01:19:09] <andypugh> 12Mhz sounds quite a lot in pixel-terms. even if the combined data is only worth one pixel per scan, that's a 12Mpixel picture in 1s
[01:19:29] <andypugh> Or a 3Mpixel image. Still pretty good.
[01:19:45] <PCW> just 3 and I'm not sure how close they come to the limit
[01:19:51] <PCW> OK material scientist can you figure out how to make a wire with a negative temperature coefficient of resistance? (for foam cutting with self regulating temperature)
[01:20:17] <Valen> use a regular PTC wire with a NTC termistor in it somewhere ;-P
[01:20:49] <FinboySlick> PCW: Come on dude... Give him a real challenge and ask for a wire with negative resistance.
[01:21:03] <andypugh> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomography
[01:21:38] <PCW> FinboySlick: this is hard enough...
[01:22:18] <andypugh> Hmm, in theory any NTC material of sufficient strength would work.
[01:23:18] <andypugh> Actually, don't you need PTC?
[01:23:33] <Jymmm> FinboySlick: You call that a challenge? HA! Try a negative resistance wire that generates 2MW/Day on nothing more than Nitrogen and/or CO2
[01:23:43] <andypugh> The current in the wire is constant, so you want higher resistance in the cold bits?
[01:23:57] <FinboySlick> Jymmm: I'll go for N, co2 isn't that abundant.
[01:24:19] <PCW> Yes
[01:25:08] <andypugh> So, normal resistance wire is close, but could usefully be _more_ P
[01:25:42] <andypugh> No, sorry, I am upside-down.
[01:26:06] <PCW> It really seem the a PTC or resistance is a basic property of metals

[01:29:28] <andypugh> Wiki says that NTC has been normal in underfloor heating since 1971.
[01:29:49] <Valen> I'm suprised its not used more, with modern cpus and gpus the heavy lifting should be almost trivial now
[01:30:16] <Valen> so rather than xray a fracture, why not CT it ;->
[01:30:28] <andypugh> dose.
[01:30:58] <Valen> modern detectors are that sensitive you could almost get a CT from backround radiation

[01:33:45] <andypugh> You mean other than the one I posted earlier?
[01:33:46] <Valen> what PCW is really trying to do is have the entire wire at the one temp regardless of the thermal load sucking heat out of various bits

[01:46:31] <andypugh> Steady-state they ought to be the same.
[01:47:15] <PCW> It would not bother me except I get called on to help people tune things
[01:47:17] <PCW> yes steady state they are the same
[01:47:34] <Valen> i am curious about this tuning pid error, i haven't heard it mentioned
[01:48:06] <andypugh> Roger (With the Hardinge) is possibly the fussiest customer, but he is trying to make really tiny things.
[01:49:43] <PCW> Ferror is calculated differently than pid error (one sample different commanded position) mean you can tune the PID or tune for least Ferror but not both
[01:50:01] <andypugh> This website of his really is worth a look:
http://www.f1-2000.co.uk Particularly the conrods and the fuel system.
[01:50:30] <PCW> I think this is a bug , not everyone agrees
[01:50:47] <andypugh> I am on the fence :-)
[01:51:15] <Valen> ferror i understand distance from commanded position to actual position, how is pid error different?
[01:52:51] <PCW> PID error is current commanded - current feedback Ferror is _next_ commanded - current feedback
[01:53:15] <Valen> ahh
[01:54:12] <PCW> so if you have a torque mode loop and you have enough I term to null out the PID error during a slew you will find tha you now have Ferror proportional to velocity/sample period
[01:54:32] <Valen> that could explain a few things
[01:55:15] <Valen> because I have noticed a ferror depending on velocity in cruise unless i add an assload of I
[01:56:13] <Valen> I think I'll try bumping up the cycle time for the servo thread, see if that helps things along
[01:57:38] <andypugh> Ooh! highlight of that F1-2000 website, thread-milling M2 threads in titanium using G-code because the machine can't do Y-horizontal interpoltion.
[01:57:39] <PCW> so at 240 IPM you have 4 mill error at 1 KHz sample rate when the PID is perfect
[01:58:15] <Valen> milling a 2mm thread, pretty game lol
[01:58:37] <andypugh> apparently 2mm taps just can't do Ti
[01:58:50] <PCW> I think the reason this has not caused loud complaints is that most retrofits use velocity mode drives and this error can be tuned around with FF1

[05:29:42] <ssi> I need to test the clippard valve that runs the airmotor and raises the turret
[05:29:56] <ssi> I guess I'll just cut its wires off midway and buttsplice them back on
[05:30:07] <ssi> I did find a place to buy the amp tools used
[05:30:13] <Jymmm> ssi: from molex type plugs?
[05:30:15] <ssi> $100 for the extractor and $75 for the insertor
[05:30:29] <ssi> Jymmm: no, these stupid amp taper pins... they're a screaming hassle
[05:30:33] <Jymmm> my extractor tools dont cost anywhere near that

[05:31:49] <Jymmm> hang on, let me grab the PN from mine
[05:34:41] <Jymmm> ssi: Ok.... These are molex, and there are three sizes of them, but they look REALLY close to what you showed me. For the cheap price of them, you might give it a shot. I use them on all kinds of molex socket, much like the 4pin powe cords in PC's and even soem amp products...
[05:34:53] <ssi> I've got molex tools
[05:34:57] <ssi> they're not even close to the same thing
[05:35:00] <Jymmm> ssi: First one... Mine is RED
http://www.alliedelec.com/search/productdetail.aspx?sku=70190780
[05:35:01] <ssi> the taper pins seat with a lot of force
[05:35:12] <ssi> and they have to be pulled out
[05:35:13] <Jymmm> well, these are spring loaded
[05:35:21] <ssi> the extractor pushes against the block and pulls the pin out
[05:35:29] <ssi> the molex ones push through... it's very different
[05:35:37] <Jymmm> well, use molex then =)
[05:35:57] <ssi> it's not like I decided that hardinge should use these taper pins back in the seventies :P
[05:36:10] <Jymmm> liar
[05:36:19] <Jymmm> retrofit them
[05:36:30] <ssi> sounds like a giant hassle
[05:36:35] <ssi> it may come to that one day, but I hope not
[05:37:05] <Jymmm> There are chea alternatives now... what abotu those pluggable screw terminal strips
[05:37:28] <ssi> for where these things are located, I'm not sure what a good alternative would be
[05:37:44] <Jymmm> are they sealed?
[05:37:57] <ssi> not really
[05:38:06] <Jymmm> then n biggy
[05:38:08] <Jymmm> no
[05:38:14] <ssi> but they're very dense and in a small space
[05:38:15] <Jymmm> or use the europena type
[05:38:25] <ssi> I might be able to do it with DB connectors
[05:38:33] <ssi> but I don't know how they'll hold up
[05:38:40] <Jymmm> just signals?
[05:38:47] <ssi> I believe so
[05:39:11] <Jymmm> db is okey if you have the crimpers
[05:39:16] <ssi> I do
[05:39:34] <ssi> I do avionics work; have all mil-spec db and molex tools
[05:39:36] <Jymmm> what gauge wire?
[05:39:56] <ssi> mostly small, 20-22 prolly
[05:40:41] <ssi> anyway, the electrical's not the real problem
[05:40:43] <Jymmm> Yeah, I'd do db, cheap preltiful
[05:40:46] <ssi> the real problem is the pneumatics
[05:40:49] <Jymmm> plentiful
[05:41:04] <Jymmm> size tubing?
[05:41:07] <ssi> I'm just hung up on electrical because I need to remove a clippard valve so I can test it
[05:41:08] <Valen> we run some battery chargers through DB connectors ;->
[05:41:34] <ssi> there's this machined aluminum valve block that the clippard valve screws to
[05:41:39] <Jymmm> ssi: tubing diameter?
[05:41:43] <ssi> 1/8 or so
[05:41:56] <ssi> I had it all apart and had to replace a check valve
[05:42:03] <ssi> and now that it's back together, the valve block is venting overboard
[05:42:13] <ssi> and i think it's cause the valve is stuck in the wrong position
[05:42:15] <ssi> but I'm not sure
[05:43:02] <Jymmm> ssi: Yeah, I have no idea on that. Not something I do mass quantities of. I'd usggest JT-Shop, ut he does the fancy shit, not the cheap stuff =)
[05:43:29] <Jymmm> ssi: Oh, what about drip irrigation stuff?
[05:43:32] <ssi> jt might know about what I'm up against, since he has a similar machine

[05:44:00] <ssi> I'm trying to fix a lathe, not make something from scratch
[05:44:10] <Jymmm> just one?
[05:44:16] <ssi> just one
[05:44:27] <ssi> we're not on the same page here somewhere
[05:44:28] <ssi> heh
[05:44:55] <Jymmm> WHAT THE HELL THEN?! You paid $500 for the lathe, you have to pay $4000 for that ONE part to make it work =)
[05:45:06] <ssi> yeah been there done that
[05:45:14] <ssi> several times
[05:45:27] <archivist> molex is crap for professional work anyway
[05:45:32] <ssi> the stupid little bellows coupler that couples the leadscrew reduction to the resolvers is $88
[05:45:47] <Jymmm> ssi: I just bought an inexpensive HF Radio, But I need a antenna tuner that costs more thanthe radio
[05:45:55] <ssi> my turret quit running, got into the pneumatics and discovered a broken checkvalve which I just replaced for $260
[05:46:05] <ssi> and when I put it back together, now it's broken in a different way
[05:46:12] <ssi> and I really have NFC what I'm doing with pneumatics
[05:46:12] <Jymmm> ssi: Hey, $20 at home depot =)
[05:46:24] <ssi> what's $20 at home depot?
[05:46:32] <Jymmm> your check value =)
[05:46:32] <ssi> certainly not this hardinge-made shuttle valve
[05:46:54] <ssi> it's not that kind of valve
[05:47:17] <ssi> there's a bore in the cross slide and there's a brass body oringed that slides into the bore, with a shuttle and a piston and a spring in it
[05:47:21] <ssi> all custom made
[05:47:21] <Jymmm> ssi: Are you restoring this lathe?
[05:47:35] <ssi> no I'm not restoring it
[05:47:40] <ssi> it's a running lathe minus the current broken
[05:47:45] <Jymmm> then ghetto it =)
[05:47:48] <ssi> I'm trying to get it back running so I can do a job that I bought metal for
[05:48:07] <Jymmm> ssi: You must become one with MAcGyver
[05:48:12] <ssi> oh believe me I'd ghetto it if I could, but I don't have a good way to
[05:48:20] <Jymmm> ah
[05:48:24] <ssi> about the only ghetto option I have right now is fuck the turret and run it as a gang tool machine
[05:48:28] <ssi> which is a terrible idea
[05:49:22] <Jymmm> ssi: Well, get the current job done any way you can to get it off your mind, then walk away and come up with a practical solution
[05:49:44] <ssi> I don't really have a good way to get the current job done without fixing the lathe
[05:49:54] <ssi> or else I would have already
[05:50:05] <Jymmm> ssi: I say that becasue the next broken thing comes along and you'll be back at this again.
[05:51:28] <Jymmm> ssi: Well, good luck either way
[05:52:00] <ssi> right now I'm up against trying to decipher the pneumo schematic (which I have fortunately) and figure out how it translates to the valve block
[05:52:10] <ssi> and figure out a way to test the clippard valve that runs the valve block
[05:52:22] <ssi> in order to test it, I feel like I need to disconnect it from the terminal block
[05:52:29] <ssi> which requires either stupid tools or cutting wires and butt splicing
[05:52:57] <ssi> I don't like either option
[05:53:28] <Jymmm> how many conductors?
[05:53:34] <ssi> just 2
[05:53:44] <Jymmm> what?!
[05:53:53] <ssi> not on the whole terminal block
[05:54:00] <ssi> it's a 48 position block I think
[05:54:06] <ssi> but the clippard valve is just two conductor
[05:54:19] <Jymmm> so 48 conductors total?
[05:54:24] <ssi> yes
[05:55:20] <Jymmm> 2x db25
[05:56:00] <Jymmm> ssi: heh, punch down block
[05:56:21] <ssi> that's really not a good idea

[05:59:27] <Jymmm> Melt/heat the plastic shell

[09:39:09] yuvipanda is now known as BlindSidedPanda
[09:39:11] <V0idExp> Anyone using 7i43 board? I have a problem after LinuxCNC shutdown
[09:39:26] <V0idExp> It seems that the firmware, after shutdown, pulls-up all pins to HIGH
[09:40:49] <V0idExp> how can I force it to stay down? cause it seems that with HIGH drives are enabled after linuxcnc shutdown, and any electromagnetic disturbs make them move
[09:43:05] <Jymmm> All 7I43 pins are pulled up. Its for compatibility with I/O module racks (which are active low) and because the only pre-configuration option on FPGA pins is pullup or no pullup. This is described in the STARTUP STATE section of the 7I43 manual.
[09:44:01] <V0idExp> So, as I guess, the only way is to set that option in my drives' settings? My drives are programmable via a JTAG port, and they can optionally invert the pin logic

[18:19:15] * JT-Shop will be right back time to make a sandwitch
[18:19:41] <Bruce_Tamlzn> I inquired about a finished table here in Germany but the proprietary software is only in German

[18:20:06] <cpresser> Bruce_Tamlzn: please post a link
[18:21:02] <Bruce_Tamlzn> And the table has not DTHC torch height control
[18:23:42] <Bruce_Tamlzn> http://www.ib-weigelt.de/index.php?start.php
[18:27:41] <JT-Shop> if you use a Hypertherm and go with Mesa interface cards the THCAD card is $70 in the US
[18:27:59] <IchGuckLive> this is integreadet into workbench so linuxcnc needt this to go for a userdefined Mcode
[18:28:58] <JT-Shop> so for $300 you have a 5i25 7i77 and thcad, then you need drives and servos, power supply and a computer
[18:29:31] <JT-Shop> and a closed loop servo driven plasma table with torch height control

[20:01:09] <Connor> hehe. Yea. He helped me turn down a part for my G0704 conversion. I don't have a very good lathe. He's going to re-do my pulleys. Hopefully we can help each other out.
[20:02:02] <Connor> He's converting a Arrow 500 VMC to LinuxCNC and I'm going to help him out. He's never used LinuxCNC. He was using Mach3 with his RF-45 conversion he did before he sold it to buy that Arrow500
[20:02:45] <Connor> I need to do some research into 5i25+7i77 combo using the pnconf wizard thingie.
[20:07:50] <skunkworks> should be fun :)

[20:13:43] <skunkworks> Does z have to move to do a tool change? or does the arm move vertially?
[20:13:48] <skunkworks> vertically
[20:15:07] <Connor> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSXR3FsN0EE&feature=plcp
[20:15:47] <Connor> It's CAT40 too, so, the spindle has to be indexed correctly too for the locking lug.
[20:15:47] <skunkworks> ugh.
[20:16:42] <Connor> skunkworks: ugh? :(
[20:17:52] <skunkworks> well - you are going to learn a lot.. In my opinion - the hardest part is going to be the z move during the tool change. TO make work seamlessly I think you would have to look seriously at gcode remapping.
[20:18:46] <Connor> I played around with the 2.6 sim with the tool change stuff.. I had it working using Z movements for a rack based system.
[20:21:10] <skunkworks> Neat - how did you do it? disconnecting motion from the axis and moving them in hal?
[20:21:15] <Connor> and that's similar to how I'm going to have mine done.. Though, I'm using Tormach tooling, so no need to index the spindle.
[20:21:28] <Connor> I dunno.. It's with the 2.6 stuff.
[20:21:45] <skunkworks> oh - I have not looked at that - maybe there is something setup already
[20:22:26] <Connor> something called remap

[20:23:45] <skunkworks> ok - so it shoudl be a cake walk :)
[20:24:32] <Connor> I hacked it to do a 4 tool rack setup.. it lowers the Z. moves the tool into the rack. raises the Z and moves over the next tool. drops down, then moves it out and the goes to home.
[20:28:12] <skunkworks> nice - you are not going to have any issues helping out pete
[20:28:41] <Connor> I've never done MESA. :( But, That shouldn't be a huge deal.
[20:29:19] <skunkworks> no - it is pretty easy - if you understand hal - it is all pins.. (and it sounds like the wizard works well - I have never used it)
[20:29:51] <Connor> Yea, the part I need to figure out is getting the wizard to see the 5i25 and 7i77 cards.
[20:30:17] <Connor> and does firmware have to up uploaded to them prior to running the wizard ?
[20:30:48] <skunkworks> umm - I think the firmware is there.. Didi you update to the latest linuxcnc version?
[20:31:10] <Connor> yes, he's running 2.6.blahblah from the repo
[20:31:55] <skunkworks> well - that is a good question. I though it should just work. exspeccially with 2.6
[20:32:45] <skunkworks> I have the older 5i20 which the firmware does get loaded during the run of linuxcnc. The 5i20 - the firmware comes installed IIRC
[20:32:50] <Connor> That was my thinking.
[20:33:10] <skunkworks> andy or peter may chime in here..
[20:38:29] <skunkworks> for sure I think the 7i77 needs field power to be recognized - but the 5i25 should be seen
[20:39:24] <PCW> You also need to download the latest xml files for pncconf to 'see' the 5I25/7I77
[20:39:36] <skunkworks> yay peter!
[20:39:48] <PCW> (look in the pncconf section of the forum)
[20:42:38] <PCW> and yes the 5I25 has on card firmware storage (you can change or update it with the mesaflash utility)

[20:45:53] <gene77> I am asking trhe spindle for 600 rpm, what is the time between index pulses?
[20:48:12] <gene77> according my my calc it should be 100ms between pulses, right?
[20:48:56] <gene77> halscope says its 240 millisecs
[20:51:25] <gene77> Somewhere, I don't have the right full scale vs rpm ratio set, according to halmeter, 409 rpms is the best I can get, yet the spindle in low gear, can do around 1250 and sounds like it is.
[20:56:01] <gene77> So I put it in high gear and my accel ramp promptly cleared the fuse, put a 4 amp in and slowed the ramp 50%, and promptly shook my coffee cup off the table making several pieces out of it.
[20:56:21] <gene77> Heck It wasn't even dirty enough to need rebored yet...
[20:57:20] <gene77> But while it shook everything loose, it did show 100 mx index pulses. I think halscope is funkity
[20:57:39] <gene77> So I'm going to get a real scope out and test.

[22:07:27] <gene77> well, my hitachi, with it adjusted for 100 ms between index pulses,600 rpms, makes my encoder show 180 rpm, what the heck do I have miss-set?

[22:26:54] <gene77> I adjusted the encoder.0.position-scale upward by 1.5, and it now reads 120 rpm for an index every 500 milliseconds. Kewl, but when I crank it up to what s/b 600 rpm, I show arund 250 in the halmeter, and taking the math to the calc says its actually spinning 1270 rpms!

[23:06:38] <Aero-Tec> updating to 2.5 did not fix the stopping problem

[23:07:06] <Aero-Tec> skunkworks: you around?
[23:08:35] <Aero-Tec> any emc gurus?
[23:09:00] <Aero-Tec> was wondering if updating to 2.6 would be wise to do
[23:09:28] <Aero-Tec> I run my machines for profit so I need them working and reliable
[23:10:06] <roh> try on a fresh hdd.., then you can swap back without worrying
[23:10:08] <cradek> you mean master (there are no 2.6 releases yet). if you sorely need a feature that is not in 2.5, then the answer is maybe. otherwise the answer is very clearly no.
[23:10:10] <JT-Shop> unless you need a feature on 2.6, 2.5 is more stable
[23:10:10] <Aero-Tec> someone said that what the basic stuff I am doing that 2.6 would not be any problem
[23:10:29] <cradek> to me it sounds like that's answering the wrong question
[23:10:35] <Aero-Tec> what does 2.6 have that 2.5 does not?
[23:10:58] <roh> i still have a machine on 2.3.1 and its fine.. so no worries.. when its fine for you, dont touch it besides security updates
[23:11:02] <cradek> there is no 2.6. master has many many features that are under development/testing
[23:13:00] <Jymmm> ...broken as hell ;)

[23:15:16] <Aero-Tec> master, yes master
[23:15:18] <Aero-Tec> lol
[23:15:40] <Aero-Tec> reminds me of some horror flick
[23:16:06] <Aero-Tec> Dracula, and the like
[23:16:34] <Aero-Tec> is there a list of what they are doing to master?
[23:17:02] <JT-Shop> you might read the git log
[23:17:13] <Aero-Tec> but if it is broken I will not want to use it
[23:17:33] <Aero-Tec> the one I did read only went to 2.5
[23:17:51] <JT-Shop> you don't want to use it unless you have to have something in master
[23:19:15] <Aero-Tec> http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl
[23:19:17] <Aero-Tec> ok
[23:20:21] <Aero-Tec> that is what I thought, so even tho I was told to use master I chickened out and did 2.5

[23:26:08] <Valen> JT-Shop: is it just me or is filling a bunch of mild steel with water feeling like a bad idea in terms of rust
[23:26:15] <Valen> Aero-Tec: (with your g64 issue)
[23:27:47] <Aero-Tec> the update did not change anything
[23:28:07] <Aero-Tec> have some new configs to do to see if that helps
[23:29:05] <Aero-Tec> like changing b axis to z axis and see if that blends well
[23:29:51] <Aero-Tec> I was going to see if making b axis linear would help but s guru here said it would not help
[23:29:56] <tjb1> Valen: I believe JT is using the "plasma quench" mix
[23:29:58] <JT-Shop> Valen: it is not just H2O... I've added sodium nitrite for rust and physan 20 for critters
[23:30:14] <Valen> ahh ok i was kinda wondering there lol
[23:30:38] <Valen> it should help if g64 works on 3 axis machines
[23:30:43] <Valen> how many axies do you have Aero-Tec?
[23:30:53] <JT-Shop> the sodium nitrite actually removes rust slowly
[23:30:59] <Aero-Tec> also have to try making the steps closer to the same, so instead of steps per deg I will do steps per rev

[23:31:33] <Valen> what was the title of your post to the mailing list?
[23:32:28] <Aero-Tec> I want to do 5 moves of lin axis X and rot axis B with out stopping
[23:32:46] <Aero-Tec> does g64 work on 3 axis moves?
[23:32:55] <Aero-Tec> my mill has 4 axis
[23:33:03] <Aero-Tec> but no Z right now
[23:33:07] <Valen> that was our thinking
[23:33:17] <Valen> that its working on linear axies but not the rotary
[23:33:21] -!- servos4ever has quit [Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.85 [SeaMonkey 2.0.11/20101206162726]]
[23:33:55] <Aero-Tec> I took the Z apart when using mach, need to add it now that I have linuxcnc
[23:34:36] <Aero-Tec> you would think g64 would work with 3 axis
[23:34:53] <Aero-Tec> if so, making b linear should work
[23:35:06] <Valen> its not the number of axies, I think its the rotary vs linear axis issue
[23:35:21] <Valen> if you have 2 linears already you could test it straight away
[23:35:44] <Aero-Tec> that was why I was going to make B linear, but someone here said it would make no difference
[23:36:12] <Aero-Tec> will still try it and see
[23:36:14] <Valen> i just meant you could test it simply with no changes, see if that is the issue
[23:36:20] <Aero-Tec> so 3 things to try
[23:36:36] <Aero-Tec> make B steps per rev
[23:36:40] <Valen> well yeah just make it a linear axis and run the same g code ;->
[23:36:44] <Aero-Tec> make B linear
[23:36:56] <Aero-Tec> and move B to Z

[23:38:05] <Valen> fairy nuff
[23:38:28] <Aero-Tec> now have to rename the dir and edit the ini

[23:51:14] <Aero-Tec> I did not edit the INI yet or anything
[23:51:26] <Valen> if its running and moving its probably ok lol
[23:51:27] <Aero-Tec> just did the SMI edit in the rtapi.conf file
