[01:10:07] <ReadError> yea, i dont want wood on it :)
[01:10:09] <jdh> even though I think cnc lathes are probably the least useful thing for me.
[01:10:16] <ReadError> maybe just the spoil board
[01:10:44] <r00t4rd3d> a good part of my machine is aluminum
[01:10:59] <ReadError> updated pics?
[01:11:04] <r00t4rd3d> no

[01:20:13] <alex4nder> ReadError: yes, the taig lathes
[01:21:38] <ReadError> i got one for xmas
[01:23:43] <r00t4rd3d> the first thing he made was a rather large black dildo
[01:23:57] <ReadError> why would i do that on a lathe?
[01:23:59] <ReadError> ;p
[01:24:24] <r00t4rd3d> so you can rib it, duh....
[01:25:31] <alex4nder> ReadError: oh awesome

[03:22:33] <ReadError> got my vac setup ;)
[03:23:13] <ReadError> aww man its sideways for me
[03:23:36] <Tom_itx> no kidding
[03:24:01] <ReadError> yea i been in work mode not cleaning mode
[03:24:20] <Tom_itx> no mist lube?
[03:24:29] <ReadError> nah i would make even more mess with that
[03:24:37] <Tom_itx> hard on bits
[03:24:59] <ReadError> these are only 3$ each
[03:25:07] <ReadError> if i had nicer stuff i would probably
[03:25:25] <Tom_itx> learn good habits no matter what
[03:25:50] <ReadError> does a mist lube require a spraying setup?
[03:25:56] <ReadError> or just a spray bottle
[03:27:22] <Tom_itx> you can do it either way
[03:27:38] <Tom_itx> the good ones use an air compressor and a reservoir
[03:27:40] <ReadError> well, i noticed when i put a lube on it, the chips want to gunk up and stick around
[03:27:55] <r00t4rd3d> mill me a qc
[03:27:55] <ReadError> where was just the vacuum pulls them all away

[03:28:43] <ReadError> you seen that one?
[03:28:57] <r00t4rd3d> ya that one
[03:29:06] <ReadError> i got full blown gcode if you want that
[03:29:13] <ReadError> its for 1/8" endmill tho
[03:29:40] <r00t4rd3d> i have those but i would probably do it wood
[03:29:53] <jdh> how would spruce or something work for that?
[03:30:03] <ReadError> i seen plenty of folks use aluminum on routers r00t4rd3d
[03:30:13] <ReadError> jdh, not sure, i dont know much about woods/strengths
[03:30:23] <ReadError> but wood would work i think
[03:30:34] <r00t4rd3d> lots of people use wood
[03:30:58] <ReadError> you making jabs at my mom again?
[03:31:49] <Tom_itx> what did you use to generate the gcode?
[03:31:51] <r00t4rd3d> most kits are laser but plywood
[03:31:58] <r00t4rd3d> cut*
[03:32:08] <ReadError> Tom_itx, HSMXpress
[03:32:09] <ReadError> its free
[03:32:12] <ReadError> pretty decent too
[03:32:23] <Tom_itx> do you start with a solid model or what?
[03:32:49] <ReadError> yup
[03:32:58] <jdh> free + solidworks?
[03:32:59] <ReadError> its built in so if i change the model, the code adapts
[03:33:00] <Tom_itx> solidworks add on?
[03:33:02] <ReadError> yea
[03:33:07] <ReadError> its completely free though
[03:33:10] <Tom_itx> what ver will it work with?
[03:33:18] <ReadError> 2009-2012 i think
[03:33:22] <Tom_itx> crap
[03:33:30] <jdh> except SW is far from free!
[03:33:51] <r00t4rd3d> borrow a boat
[03:34:29] <Tom_itx> ahh.. limited to 2.5d
[03:34:37] <Tom_itx> no 3d surfaces
[03:34:56] <ReadError> yea ;/
[03:34:57] <Tom_itx> mine'll do surfaces
[03:35:00] <ReadError> thats how they get you
[03:35:04] <ReadError> what do you use Tom_itx ?
[03:35:12] <Tom_itx> an old ver of smartcam
[03:35:15] <r00t4rd3d> if i had the dimensions I could make that in Aspire in minutes
[03:35:23] <ReadError> oh i use visual mill also
[03:35:27] <jdh> export it as a dxf
[03:35:28] <ReadError> its pretty decent as well
[03:35:44] <ReadError> i can when i get back upstairs
[03:35:48] <ReadError> babysitting the mill
[03:36:03] <ReadError> i suspect all this airflow will keep things cool as well
[03:36:10] <ReadError> theres tons of air going around the endmill
[03:36:15] <Tom_itx> how does it handle pockets etc?
[03:36:29] <jdh> does air really cool well?
[03:37:02] <ReadError> Tom_itx, worked good on the last one
[03:37:16] <ReadError> i should get my IR gun and see what the temp difference is
[03:37:53] <Tom_itx> how much is solidworks now?
[03:38:35] <ReadError> no idea tbh
[03:38:42] <ReadError> i hate the scam they have going
[03:44:31] <ReadError> i figure after a few more mcmaster orders i will never need to buy ziplock bags again
[03:48:41] <jdh> they don't last
[03:50:20] <Tom_itx> for what?

[04:20:38] <thrile> I have a problem. I have a machine with a maximum A and V. I need it to reach a specific point X at a specific time (t). It can do so only by applying a fixed acceleration (a) for tb seconds, and then applying -a for tb seconds before stopping. Thus, I can control its position only by messing with the acceleration. Here's a reverse run, I can't figure out the formulas.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9B78Ofn6Af3c0dkU3VKUW11Vmc/edi
[04:21:04] <thrile> (I'm interested in the math behind figuring out discrete X points, and the blending time start position, in theory)
[04:36:58] <pcw_home> stopped at beginning and end?
[04:37:33] <jdh> hsmworks/hsmexpress are owned by Autodesk... but it's for solidworks only.
[04:38:21] <thrile> yeah, no blending between motions, I'll do that later.
[04:38:30] <thrile> for now I just want to understand the math behind a simple trapezoidal motion.
[04:39:37] <pcw_home> P = 1/2at^2 so A= 2P/T^2 (for first 1/2 of trip)
[04:45:22] <thrile> hmm
[04:45:28] <thrile> that seems about right
[04:45:44] <thrile> it graphs ok in mathematica, so, yeah...
[04:46:13] <thrile> but how do I know where's my transition point? (the ones between 0 and constant acceleration)
[04:57:55] <pcw_home> for trapezoidal you need to have the maxvel specified (and then break the trajectory into 3 pieces: ramp-up (to maxvel), slew(at maxvel) , ramp-down)
[05:00:32] <tjb1> ReadError: r00t4rd3d is scared to cut aluminum
[05:00:40] <tjb1> all he cuts are paradise boxes :P
[05:01:27] <ReadError> lol
[05:02:55] <toastyde1th> aluminum cuts pretty easily
[05:03:15] <toastyde1th> HUNDRED AND TWENTY INCHES A MINUTE
[05:03:20] <toastyde1th> baller statusssss
[05:05:35] <thrile> yeah, knowing maxvel of course.
[05:06:39] <thrile> also, what makes the X snap exactly to t (at least mathematically)? is a different value of a used sometimes? or is the maxvel altered in some way?
[05:06:49] <toastyde1th> at my old college i used to cut aluminum with a 4" facemill at 80-100 ipm because it was so loud
[05:07:05] <toastyde1th> people would come out of classes to watch
[05:07:45] <toastyde1th> 6000 rpm, 100 ipm, and .150 deep
[05:07:47] <ReadError> cut super clean ?
[05:08:07] <toastyde1th> the facemill was fucked up so it never cut clean
[05:08:28] <toastyde1th> the teeth pockets were all banged up and filed back down so the teeth were all at different heights

[09:37:44] <mrsun> ofc, germany doesnt have the gulf stream or whatever its called on engrish ...
[09:37:51] <mrsun> what is normal winter temperatures there ?
[09:39:10] <IchGuckLive> -7°C
[09:39:38] <IchGuckLive> it is cold enoph if you got a open shop doar and parts with length > 4m

[09:40:38] <mrsun> hehe =)
[09:40:57] <mrsun> finaly climbed up a bit here, had -25C on the nights a couple of days in a row =)

[09:53:55] <IchGuckLive> i need a relay that handles only 500mA to the optocopler direct
[09:54:06] <IchGuckLive> so optocopler drives relay
[09:54:19] <IchGuckLive> Loetmichel: on reichelt what is your guess
[09:54:23] <Loetmichel> IchGuckLive: s/ of/for
[09:54:53] <Loetmichel> any 12V card relay should be under the 500mA rating
[09:55:07] <Loetmichel> but why not use a transostir to be sure?

[16:34:30] <thrile> I'm trying to understand the math behind the trapezoidal profile.
[16:34:51] <IchGuckLive> in lath or the tread it self
[16:35:03] <IchGuckLive> or speed profiling Ramps
[16:35:17] <thrile> the speed profiling ramp
[16:35:28] <thrile> not acme machining :)
[16:35:53] <thrile> what I don't understand is how to express this mathematically.
[16:36:11] <thrile> i've come up with a "reverse" example, starting from what I want to obtain, to figure out my formulas, with no success.
[16:37:10] <thrile> for example, I graphed that if I apply 4mm/s^2 of acceleration for 25 seconds, 50 of the "speed" of 100mm/s and -4mm/s^2 for 25 seconds, I'll reach exactly 7500mm in 100 seconds.
[16:37:42] <Jymmm> LOL you HAVE to watch "Iron Sky" (on netflix)
[16:38:11] <thrile> Esentially, I'm trying to come up with a set of equations where I put 7500 mm in and 100s (XY and F) and a range (or just the correct) values should come out - 4mm/s^2 for 25 s
[16:39:01] <thrile> Jymmm: you should watch primer
[16:39:11] <thrile> not of any relevance to iron sky, just because it's awesome

[16:41:09] <Jymmm> thrile: added to queue =)
[16:41:12] <thrile> anyway, what I don't understand is what are my limits/boundry conditions? for example, I need to get to 7500 in 100s, that would imply a linear speed of 75mm/s. But how would I know to pick 100mm/s, given the fact the critical distance has lower displacement then the maximum velocity one (obviously)
[16:42:05] <thrile> and of course, how would I know to accelerate by 4mm/s^2? Would there be any cases where I'd use less? Or what about overriding the maximum velocity by 0.9-1.1 to keep up?

[18:01:27] <Connor> Hey Guys, what's a good PPR for encoder on spindle? (Using Par-port, no mesa)
[18:02:04] <pcw_home> depends on your base thread period
[18:02:22] TekniQue_ is now known as TekniQue
[18:02:23] <Connor> 25 or 30k I think..
[18:02:26] <Connor> Atom based PC
[18:03:27] <Connor> 48,96,100,125,192,200,250,256,384,400,500,512,800,1000,1024,2048 are my options
[18:03:38] <pcw_home> so max 33KHz edge rate but you probably want about 2x safety margin
[18:03:54] <pcw_home> what is the maximum spindle speed?
[18:09:02] <archivist> I have 48 on my lathe
[18:10:34] <Connor> 7000RPM.
[18:10:40] <Connor> oh. and don't forget index.
[18:10:57] <archivist> not many rpm on spindle I start to lose counts and get a bad thread
[18:11:34] <pcw_home> 48 would be 192 counts/rev or 22400 Hz count rate at 7000 RPM so probably just OK at 30 usec
[18:11:59] <pcw_home> but not much margin
[18:12:02] <ReadError> http://i.ebayimg.com/t/New-CNC-Mill-Milling-Machine-Complete-with-Cooling-System-Grizzly-G0704-/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/$T2eC16VHJHEE9ny2rTo9BQtORuvri!~~60_57.JPG
[18:12:12] <ReadError> seems like the x axis would run in to that metal tray
[18:12:24] <Connor> That was my thought..
[18:12:31] <Connor> Not to mention.. it's priced WAY to high.
[18:12:37] <ReadError> yea
[18:12:38] <ReadError> 5.1k
[18:12:51] <Connor> My X stepper is on the other side.
[18:13:13] <ReadError> did you buy the conversion kit?
[18:13:18] <Connor> No.
[18:13:23] <ReadError> seems pretty expensive
[18:13:51] <Connor> Made all mine on the mill manually.. First time I ever worked with a mill.. had some lathe experience as a Kid.. but, that was YEARS ago.
[18:17:15] <archivist> pcw_home, does your math include the dead time when the part port is not being looked at (software polling), I dont seem to be able to go anywhere near that speed
[18:18:58] <pcw_home> No I am assuming perfect sampling (but would allow about 2x margin for quadrature error and sampling uncertainty
[18:20:17] -!- sumpfralle [sumpfralle!~lars@31-17-116-179-dynip.superkabel.de] has joined #linuxcnc
[18:20:55] <pcw_home> so for safety i would not want to try and track more that 1/2 the edge rate (so 22400 is probably too high for reliable operation at 48 PPR/7000 RPM/33KHz sample rate)
[18:21:27] <Connor> okay, base thread is 35000, servo is 1000000
[18:22:10] <pcw_home> yeah so even 48 PPR is iffy (unless you dont really need to use the encoder at high speeds)
[18:22:16] <Connor> how do you get 192 out of 48 PPR ?
[18:22:20] <archivist> I must measure my max rpm where I lose it
[18:22:56] <pcw_home> a 48 ppr encoder has 4 edges per cycle 48x4 =192
[18:23:26] <archivist> only if it has A and B in quadrature
[18:23:32] <pcw_home> Yes
[18:23:51] <archivist> I only have A and index
[18:25:14] <pcw_home> so you should be able to do twice as well speed wise
[18:25:57] -!- Sendoushi has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[18:25:59] <pcw_home> if its a home built encoder the sensors may be too slow (photo darlintons are)
[18:26:28] <Connor> Probably will be limiting it to around 6500.. any faster and the motor is out of range on continuous duty on voltage.
[18:27:29] <pcw_home> So marginal for quadrature probably OK for A only (unidirectional)
[18:27:38] <pcw_home> (at 48 PPR)

[18:29:36] <ve7it> I found high spindle rpms were not very useful when cutting threads.... the Z axis had problems keeping up.... but I was trying to cut 0.5" pitch thread!
[18:30:11] <pcw_home> Yeah so you may not need the encoder above a few K RPM anyway
[18:30:59] <pcw_home> wow .5" pitch would tax the Z axis
[18:39:16] <Connor> Going to use is for Tapping and RPM..
[18:39:56] <Connor> What's a good RPM for tapping? This is a 1 to 1 setup.. so, Not sure how torque will be a lower RPM..
[18:40:09] <mrsun> hmm is mild steel good enough for gibs ?
[18:40:20] <mrsun> or what material are they usaly made out of ?
[18:41:27] <pcw_home> I suspect the RPM limitation for tapping is chiefly how fast the spindle can reverse
[18:43:37] <Connor> Why would that mater? Does the Z not follow the speed of the spindle.. as it slows down, does the Z not slow too?
[18:44:47] <pcw_home> the plunge depth may exceed the tap length if the starting RPM is to high
[18:45:20] <pcw_home> which will cause emission of bad words
[18:45:51] <Connor> Probably would only do through hole tapping.. and might get one of the compression tap heads for Tormach.
[18:48:25] <pcw_home> you would probably want to air tap at various starting RPMs to
[18:48:27] <pcw_home> see what distance is needed for the spindleto come to a stop
[18:49:08] <Connor> Well that not change when tapping? More friction? Also, Have Dynamic resistor on my SCR controller..

[19:37:45] <Index-Werke> VERY pleased with it.
[19:43:09] <pcw_home> but 2 ms should be sampled 50 times at 25 KHz so I still dont understand
[19:47:29] <pcw_home> Sure its not a photo Darlington OPTO? those are often dreadfully slow
[19:49:21] <archivist> no I go direct from the encoder optos to the pc, base period is 40000 , so Im running slower

[19:50:44] <pcw_home> 40 usec base thread is 25 KHz so should be fine for 3000 RPM or more
[19:52:26] <pcw_home> I still suspect your OPTOs not sure what else could be the limit (wrong thread for fast part of encoder comp?)

[22:26:35] <lwizardl> I have downloaded just about everything that comes up in the ubuntu software list and nothing seems to be as I wanted. most seems to be more like scripting then render in 3d

[22:27:28] -!- tronwizard has quit []
[22:27:34] <tjb1> Not sure lwizardl, the school just got a laser cutter today and I know he said something about photoshop can only rasterize and you have to use illustrator for vectors
[22:27:52] <tjb1> And then something about the color determines laser power
[22:27:58] <lwizardl> tjb1, inkscape also does vectors
[22:28:21] <tjb1> I think he was just talking about CS at the time
[22:28:47] <lwizardl> which is what I have been using so far for all my art needs (which are very basic stuff)
[22:29:05] <lwizardl> k
[22:29:54] <lwizardl> I plan to build my cnc machine when taxes come in. so I have time still but trying to get used to the program i will be using so I can have some stuff ready to use for testing the build

If so, which tool (MeshLab, something else)?

[22:45:51] <abetusk_w> meaning you don't bother with higher level 3d modelling at all and just write straight g-code?

[23:45:49] <JT-Shop> hp
[23:45:50] <JunkieHobbo> Manual show for Pin 2-5 as STEP1,STEP2,STEP3,STEP4 Pin 6-9 DIR1,DIR2,DIR3,DIR4 Pins 10-13 IN1,IN2,IN3,IN4 , With that I am wondering how the Parallel Port mapping should look in the Setup on LinuxCNC???
[23:46:25] <JT-Shop> the pins should be the same
[23:46:53] <JT-Shop> you might need to invert the pins to get them to work
[23:48:56] <JunkieHobbo> So for PIN 2-4 I have them Set as X Step,Y Step, Z Step, A Step, PIN 6-9 I Have them set as X Dir, Y Dir, Z Dir, A Dir what should PIN 10-13 be set as?
[23:49:39] <JunkieHobbo> I am guessing they will be the Limit Switches...
[23:50:54] <tjb1> 10-13 are inputs
[23:51:09] <tjb1> 1 and 17 are outputs
[23:51:43] <JT-Shop> if you have limit switches
[23:51:57] <JT-Shop> does your bob need an enable pin
[23:52:25] <ReadError> is it possible to fireoff an air compressor at preset intervals?
[23:52:31] <ReadError> if i hooked it to a solenoid
[23:52:43] <ReadError> and had some lockline going out of it
[23:52:47] <ReadError> locline*
[23:52:50] <JunkieHobbo> I have the Enable set to Pin 1
[23:55:23] <Tom_itx> tjb1, something about hyperthread
[23:55:44] <Tom_itx> what's that option in the bios you're supposed to disable for dual core and linuxcnc?
[23:55:56] <Tom_itx> anybody?
[23:56:45] <JT-Shop> dual core is isolcpus
[23:57:21] <JunkieHobbo> I ran the config with invert option on pins and still the same result...
