Back
[00:02:07] <andypugh> There are many, well several, cars out there with no tyres. For example the 1893 Benz Victoria. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b4/Benz_Victoria_(3hp)_(1893)_pic1.JPG
[00:03:53] <JT-Shop> that has tires...
[00:05:40] <andypugh> Yes, sadly I couldn't find a picture of one without the retrofit rubber bands. To be truly pedantic the steel bands originally fitted were called tyres, but were not, I feel, what ReadError had in mind)
[00:06:19] <JT-Shop> ah, I was thinking of steel tires like wagon and cannon wheels
[00:06:49] * JT-Shop is off to Hydes, anyone want some fish and chips?

[00:07:56] <PCW> shoot some over here!
[00:07:57] <TheLargeRod> ok back
[00:08:37] <TheLargeRod> it seems that slowing down EMC a LOT helps the case
[00:08:55] <TheLargeRod> which of course I couldn't try right away because my x-axis screw went lose
[00:09:01] <TheLargeRod> so gotta wait for JB weld to dry up
[00:11:30] <andypugh> JT-Shop: Yes, the early cars had exactly that. of course roads were softer back then, it probably worked fine except in towns with stone cobbles.

[00:39:55] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Yes, do you offer free 30m delivery by chance? You can hit PCW on the way out too
[00:40:35] <Jymmm> PCW: I have yet to find fish and chips reasonable in the bay area.
[00:40:49] <Jymmm> PCW: $7 and up for this dinky lil thing.
[00:41:34] <Jymmm> andypugh: How much is F&C from street vendors?

[00:41:59] <PCW> I have not had fish&chips in years, used to be good ones in Berkeley
[00:42:03] <Jymmm> andypugh: or holes in the wall
[00:42:24] <andypugh> it's not a steet-vendor thing
[00:42:48] <Jymmm> PCW: I look ALL the time, even hit Race St, they want $10 for a basket, and it doens't look that good
[00:42:53] <andypugh> Fish and Chip shops tend to be open very limited hours, which only the locals are aware of.
[00:42:59] <L84Supper> http://www.theredlionlincolnsquare.com/ all you can eat fish and chips tonight
[00:43:08] <Jymmm> andypugh: ok, so how much on avg?
[00:43:33] <andypugh> And it isn't cheap. It depends on the fish, and where you are, but £7 probably.
[00:43:47] <Jymmm> andypugh: quality?
[00:44:03] <Jymmm> L84Supper: I dont see all you can eat
[00:44:09] <andypugh> Generally very good, for the type I described.
[00:44:17] <L84Supper> Jymmm: every Friday
[00:44:29] <Jymmm> andypugh: I suspect there are far more curry places than anything else
[00:44:33] <Jymmm> L84Supper: ah
[00:45:28] <andypugh> Jymmm: Kebab shops probably outnumber curry places
[00:45:42] <Jymmm> Kubatay?
[00:45:47] <Jymmm> (sp)
[00:46:36] <Jymmm> andypugh: You guys now have good "fast food", we still have greasy stuff.
[00:47:25] <andypugh> A kebab is like a an elephant's leg made of lamb rotating in front of a gas fire. They carve it off as it reaches the peak of bacterial content, and serve it in a flat bread with a token salad.

[00:51:11] <L84Supper> but if you enjoy eating things that most people throw away, you're in luck
[00:52:29] <andypugh> L84Supper: Are you in China now?

[00:59:40] <andypugh> In Qingdao I can't even recall seeing any insects. I saw one cat, and not a single seagull. Which is just strange in a port.
[01:00:15] <L84Supper> animals at farms, lots of pets in the cities, ducks in cages at most markets

[01:02:36] <L84Supper> maybe it was still cold
[01:03:29] <L84Supper> haven't been to Qingdao yet though
[01:03:33] <andypugh> It wasn't warm, but that didn't seem to bother the seagulls in the UK or US
[01:04:49] <andypugh> My Garmin GPS is great. Their route planning software is horrible, and their website is worse.
[01:05:35] <andypugh> I can't buy a map update because I need to log on. I can't create an account because I already have one. I can't use that account because the password doesn
[01:05:56] <andypugh> 't work. Not even the reset one that they took an hour to send me.

[01:37:12] <andypugh> The GPS is a Zumo 660.

[01:37:41] <andypugh> (so only a rather expensive one)
[01:38:18] <andypugh> I got the route downloaded to the GPS. The maps will just have to stay out-of-date
[01:38:29] <Jymmm> andypugh: What maps do you have now?
[01:39:14] <andypugh> Even downloading a route from Base Camp is stupid. It transfers it, but that doesn't make it appear in "Custom Routes", You need to No, you need to go to tools -> my data -> import data -> routes, then
[01:39:14] <andypugh> watch it crash and reboot it before it show up in "Custom Routes"
[01:39:24] <Jymmm> andypugh: City Navigator® Europe ???

[02:06:21] <andypugh> I posted a link to a pdf there from Contitech which said what belt tension to use.
[02:06:40] <andypugh> Basically half of the "torque tension" is about right.

[02:12:17] <andypugh> If you look at the one the chap is holding, it is in a very sorry state
[02:12:22] <Tom_itx> heh cool
[02:12:43] <Tom_itx> looks pretty beat up
[02:13:33] <andypugh> Yes, it was repaied (for £270) three years ago. They swaged a copper ring in. It didn't work, it just tore off the whole rim.
[02:13:34] <Tom_itx> you plan to roll the edges together then?
[02:13:58] <andypugh> Tom_itx: Solder. (and a beaded edge on the outer layer)
[02:14:05] <ReadError> hey r00t4rd3d
[02:14:10] <ReadError> did i tell you i got my collets ?
[02:14:37] <Tom_itx> you could probaby mill it too
[02:17:52] <andypugh> Tom_itx: From solid?
[02:18:29] <Tom_itx> the molds
[02:18:41] <Tom_itx> well the piece too if you were ambitious
[02:18:50] <andypugh> Ah, yes, probably. Still have a CAM problem.
[02:19:02] <Tom_itx> huh?
[02:19:02] <Tom_itx> cam?
[02:19:05] <Tom_itx> i don't :D

[02:19:37] <Tom_itx> ahh
[02:19:45] <Tom_itx> is that soldered on the top?
[02:20:16] <andypugh> The crown is soldered on, yes.
[02:20:55] <andypugh> It belongs to the 1922 club. Guess when it was founded :-)
[02:21:31] <Tom_itx> you sure don't wanna bugger that up
[02:22:28] <andypugh> I don't think the pot is nearly that old, probably 1950s
[02:23:02] <Tom_itx> you gonna use brass?
[02:23:26] <Tom_itx> oh, do you want me to face off the very end as part of the code?
[02:23:30] <Tom_itx> skin cut
[02:23:52] <Tom_itx> and do you prefer cutting center out or to the center?
[02:24:12] <Tom_itx> generally to the center i believe is the most acceptable
[02:26:53] <andypugh> I think with the tool geometry outside to centre makes most sense.
[02:27:03] <andypugh> Does the code work on your sim?
[02:27:10] <Tom_itx> i haven't tried it
[02:27:20] <Tom_itx> i've been lazy this evening
[02:27:53] <andypugh> No problem. I won't be doing anything for at least a week.
[02:28:07] <Tom_itx> i know for sure the post for the lathe needs some work
[02:28:16] <Tom_itx> but i've never had a lathe to polish it on
[02:28:28] <Tom_itx> we always MDI'd the lathe jobs
[02:28:46] <skunkworks> andypugh: did you figure out your backlash issue
[02:28:53] <Tom_itx> so maybe i'll gain from this too
[02:29:39] <andypugh> I normally use my macro config: http://www.bodgesoc.org/lathe/lathe.html

[02:30:26] <skunkworks> ah
[02:30:39] <skunkworks> leaving again?
[02:30:51] <andypugh> Yes, off skiing next week.

[11:26:59] <b6> that seems intuitive to me. you don't want to pick sharp corners.
[11:27:21] <jthornton> you can use any point for entry with plasma
[11:28:24] <b6> hmm. but the leadin path should start inside the region you expect to throw away, right?
[11:28:33] <b6> otherwise you're scribbling on the good stuff.
[11:28:51] <cncbasher_> you need a lead in and a lead out so , say a 90 deg corner or use an arc in or out if on a curve etc
[11:29:04] <cncbasher_> yes correct
[11:29:10] <jthornton> yes you should use a lead in arc
[11:29:30] <b6> hmm, ok. i'll review the settings. maybe i told it to do something impossible.

[15:44:30] <Gene34> hehehe I am comfortable and have wired several 220 outlets to several garages since all garages need a couple :) but I am faltering on this effort for dc supply
[15:45:45] <Gene34> can I throw some cash your way pcw to help in your efforts?

[15:48:23] <pcw_home> (his firts mistake was no output filter capacitor) its not rocket science but mistakes with power electronics will cause failure in microseconds

[16:10:16] <mikegg> well that's a little strange. but it's working
[16:10:51] <mikegg> I'm calling "show thread" from the hal file. time and max-time are both zero
[16:11:05] <pcw_home> I never messed with the threads module
[16:12:08] <pcw_home> does show thread show all threads?
[16:12:09] <mikegg> ok, if I fire up another terminal and do a haldcmd show thread, they are non-zero
[16:12:42] <mikegg> so I guess the thread hasn't quite got-going when you show thread in the halfile
[16:12:49] <mikegg> yes, only one thread
[16:13:19] <pcw_home> yeah show is a one time thing

[18:25:53] <mikegg> cool, I've got a temperature PID loop running through an arduino
[18:27:03] Cylly is now known as Loetmichel
[18:27:06] <mikegg> the temperature sensor is a little noisy or something. and if you peg the ADC it faults on divide by zero
[18:27:20] <Loetmichel> re @ home
[18:30:33] <mikegg> pcw_home: I did get a couple of V-F converters and some SMD breakout boards as a backup, like you said...
[18:32:20] <mikegg> using the arduino will make all the wiring & connections more easy I think.
[18:32:37] <mikegg> my electronics enclosure is already a mess..
[18:33:29] <mikegg> I need to bite the bullet and start buying amphenol connectors.
[18:35:46] <skunkworks> I am using the arduino to measure spindle temp.. seems to work quite well
[18:36:06] <skunkworks> (using jeplers hal/arduino interface)
[18:36:16] <mikegg> yeah, me too
[18:37:15] <skunkworks> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-CdFd2Zakc&feature=share&list=UUHk52YjGT8HryRYmJKSl-lg
[18:38:51] <mikegg> man, that's slick
[18:39:17] <mikegg> I'm going to use it for a dual FDM extruder
[18:39:27] <mikegg> hopefully
[18:41:32] <mikegg> I need to tie in the step drivers. and not smoke both of them, this time
[18:42:16] <mikegg> I should go sacrifice a chicken first
[18:45:46] <skunkworks> neat
[18:46:51] <Loetmichel> skunkworks: NICE. bur only necessary for big spindles, am i right?
[18:47:36] <Loetmichel> i dont thing a 800W chinese HF spindle will enongate much when the Temperature goes up from 20°c to 35°c...
[18:47:50] <Loetmichel> (it doesent get warmer, watercooled)
[18:47:59] <Loetmichel> s/thing/think
[18:48:08] <skunkworks> On this old machine - the spindle sticks out from the ways about 12". so when it goes from room temp to 110 degres - the spindle grows about .003" or so
[18:48:13] <Loetmichel> *elongate
[18:48:29] <skunkworks> enough to be an annoyances...\
[18:48:38] <Loetmichel> my machine is not very big...

[18:49:38] <seb_kuzminsky> ooohh, shiny! http://denver.craigslist.org/bfd/3601296380.html
[18:49:41] <archivist> small machine trying to make something to .0003" may need temperature compensation
[18:49:59] <Loetmichel> i dont think it will deform much mti the 10 or so degeees celsius ith heats up
