[00:00:20] <Felix29> hey, does somebody here have a laser cutter by any chance?
[00:01:17] <JT-Shop> need to borrow one?
[00:02:17] <Felix29> well, i'd need some parts cut from melamine
[00:02:47] <Felix29> so if there's somebody or a hackerspace who has one
[00:02:58] <Felix29> i'd be happy to pay reasonably well for it
[00:04:04] <JT-Shop> can't think of anyone off hand that has a laser cutter, Jymmm has a laser engraver I think...
[00:04:36] <JT-Shop> if you live in any kind of city I'm sure there are some near you
[00:05:35] <Felix29> yeah, not really a city
[00:05:40] <Felix29> close to chicago though
[00:06:48] <JT-Shop> chicago laser cutter gets tons of hits on google
[00:08:13] <Felix29> yeah, i might just do that
[00:08:25] <Felix29> i figured giving beermoney to a hackerspace is better
[00:08:36] <Felix29> but worst case, i'll just contract it out to a small company
[00:08:43] <JT-Shop> laser cutters are not cheap to purchase
[00:09:09] <JT-Shop> why laser and not water jet on melamine?
[00:09:14] <JT-Shop> just wondering
[00:09:46] <Felix29> i think laser cutters are more likely to be in a hackerspace
[00:10:01] <Felix29> so there's no preference, but i think finding a lasercutter is more likely

[06:33:48] <mrsun> hehe was something doubleboost on youtube said =)
[06:34:15] <mrsun> found it quite funny as ive found the same thing, but mostly due to slop in the quill of the lathe =)
[06:34:36] <ssi> :)
[06:34:42] <ssi> too many people spot drill with centerdrills
[06:34:52] <ssi> it's my ambition in life to stamp that practice out :D
[06:34:56] <mrsun> ssi, i do that in the milling machine
[06:35:14] <mrsun> as i do not have any spotdrills =)
[06:35:15] <ssi> bad mrsun, bad
[06:35:20] <ssi> spotdrills are cheap :)
[06:35:23] <ssi> and they don't snap off!
[06:35:26] <ssi> and they start better holes
[06:35:46] <ssi> ok now that I've thouroughly chastised someone

[10:30:05] <Valen> doing other stuff around it at the moment
[10:30:15] <Valen> getting 3 phase power to the shed, extractor fans and the like
[10:30:54] <RyanS> jeezus what sort of beast are you building
[10:31:28] <Valen> the extractor is the thing
[10:31:32] <Valen> stupid powerfull
[10:31:46] <Valen> we got our current mill up to 5A on the spindle ;->
[10:31:50] <Valen> 240v
[10:33:06] <RyanS> Are you building to some available plans for the new machine or rolling your own?
[10:33:07] <Valen> thats actual draw
[10:33:12] <Valen> rolling our own
[10:42:57] <RyanS> I read and conflicting reports. Some making it out to be easy to convert a mill using a kit, but then I read about the process and see that there is a lot of work involved.
[10:43:41] <RyanS> Not many options for turnkey stuff here
[10:44:14] herron is now known as archivist_herron
[10:44:48] <jthornton> convert a manual mill?
[10:45:01] <Valen> you can convert
[10:45:10] <Valen> but unless the manual mill is good to start with
[10:45:25] <Valen> you now have a cnc piece of crap rather than a manual piece of crap
[10:46:45] <RyanS> if Money wasn't an issue the choice is easy - get a vmc

[17:50:29] <cbjamo> there is more in dmesg, but no error messages, just status info, as far as I can see.
[17:50:35] <andypugh> Crashing or refusing to run? There is a difference. OK, it amounts to the same thing from your perspective.

[17:51:24] <cbjamo> Good point, it opens the config panel, I choose my config then it sits for a sec and closes.
[17:52:56] <pcw_home> do a 'sudo dmesg -c' before you post the log

[18:13:03] <pcw_home> well thats true, there are no PWM gens
[18:13:48] <cbjamo> right, so I change it to hm2)5I22.0.3pwmgen....
[18:14:23] <pcw_home> And i notice this is a hacked 7I39 config with stepgen outputs on the sense lines, that was a mistake, but it should be harmless

[18:16:44] <pcw_home> No, its just that I copy,pasted from a custom config, I will fix it
[18:17:19] <cbjamo> ok
[18:17:38] <pcw_home> if pncconf doesn't know how to make a 3 phase config you will need to cobble it together yourself
[18:18:12] <pcw_home> (the stepgens will cause no harm unless you want to use the 7I39 sense pins as inputs)
[18:18:32] <cbjamo> Ok, will I be better off starting where I am or from scrach?
[18:19:05] <cbjamo> My motors have hall feedback, and I want to use it.
[18:19:38] <pcw_home> if you have a servo config, its a starting point. maybe andy has some sample 3pwmgen boilerplate
[18:20:16] <cbjamo> that would be great

[18:30:15] <cradek> you can push both jog keys

[18:32:21] <cradek> what are you trying to do?

[18:38:26] <andypugh> You probably want h,h,h for three motors with hall sensors

[18:40:29] <cbjamo> two per axis
[18:41:17] -!- zzolo has quit [Quit: zzolo]
[18:42:18] <cbjamo> and in the addf area it has "addf bldc.N servo-thread"
[18:42:50] <cbjamo> am I going to want 0-5?
[18:43:17] <cbjamo> and am I going to need a pid for each one?
[18:43:28] <pcw_home> yep
[18:44:27] <pcw_home> loadrt pid num_chan=6
[18:44:43] <cbjamo> is the N in "addf bldc.N" just a lable? Can I name them x1, x2, etc.
[18:46:05] <cbjamo> this config has "loadrt pid names=pid.x,pid.y,pid.z"
[18:46:33] <pcw_home> ok so you can extend that with 3 more names
[18:46:39] <cbjamo> ok
[18:46:45] <cbjamo> and the name can be anything?
[18:47:18] <pcw_home> Yes
[18:48:04] <andypugh> You can probably name the bldc components. But perhaps leave "blcd" in the name so you don't mistake them for pids..
[18:48:52] <cbjamo> ok, will bldc.x1 and suchlike work?
[18:49:05] <Jooa> cradek: i have a xyuv hotwire cutter and sometimes it would be handy to fix x-u and y-v movements
[18:50:16] <andypugh> cbjamo: Should do. You still need to declare the config types.
[18:50:27] <cbjamo> ok
[18:50:43] <cbjamo> so it'll be
[18:51:38] <cbjamo> "loadrt blcd names=bldc.x1,blcd.x2, etc cfg=h,h,h,h,h,h"
[18:54:26] <andypugh> Yes, that ought to work.

[22:58:13] <Aero-Tec> oops forgot the spot welder
[22:58:24] <jdh> http://charleston.craigslist.org/tls/3863415635.html
[22:58:51] <ssi> jdh: what kind of machine is that?
[22:59:09] <jdh> no clue
[22:59:14] <ssi> 5k for both?
[22:59:19] <jdh> looks like it
[22:59:21] <ssi> sounds like a reasonable deal if you can move them
[22:59:28] <jdh> and power them
[22:59:35] <ssi> secondary details :)
[22:59:40] <jdh> I can do neither (nor house them)
[22:59:42] <ssi> they're in a house though
[22:59:53] <ssi> I might call him
[23:00:02] <jdh> not to far
[23:00:04] <ssi> nope
[23:00:05] <CaptHindsight> heh, he purchased the house with the machines already in the workshop
[23:00:10] <ssi> I could put them in my hangar
[23:00:13] <ssi> I've got 3ph there
[23:00:57] <Aero-Tec> looks like 5K for both

[23:01:18] <Aero-Tec> getting them moved looks to be lots more money
[23:01:19] <ds3> ssi: u have a hanger?
[23:01:24] <ssi> I have two :P
[23:01:28] <ds3> where?
[23:01:29] <Aero-Tec> buying them is the cheap part
[23:01:34] <ssi> south of atlanta
[23:01:48] <ds3> small civ. aviation airports?
[23:01:52] <ssi> yes
[23:02:01] <ds3> nice
[23:02:06] <ds3> how expensive is a hanger per month?
[23:02:37] <Aero-Tec> can one buy a hanger?

[23:03:22] -!- memleak has quit [Quit: I only have one ethernet cable.]
[23:03:31] <ssi> sure
[23:03:34] <ssi> ds3: varies with the airport
[23:03:36] <ssi> my airport, they'r about $300/mo
[23:03:42] <ssi> by "my airport", I mean the one seventy miles from me that I have hangars at
[23:03:52] <ds3> $300 include power?
[23:03:54] <ssi> because the one a mile from my house has a 12 year waiting list for hangars and they're $1200/mo
[23:03:57] <ssi> yep
[23:04:05] -!- jfire has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
[23:04:07] <ssi> they typically don't have enough power to run a shop in
[23:04:15] <ssi> but I happen to have the hangar on the end where the 3ph comes in
[23:04:20] <ds3> ohhhh
[23:04:30] <ds3> $300 per month sound sweet
[23:04:47] <CaptHindsight> 3 phase 220 or 221?
[23:04:50] <ssi> I pay $400 for that end hangar cause it's bigger
[23:04:54] <ssi> 3ph 220
[23:05:01] <jdh> whatever it takes
[23:05:10] <Aero-Tec> but if one runs a shop machine shop in it the price will go up
[23:05:12] <ds3> can you abuse power by welding stuff and running a small foundry?
[23:05:14] <ssi> Aero-Tec: yes

[23:15:54] <Aero-Tec> is #<td> and #<TD> the same thing in linux CNC?
[23:17:36] <Aero-Tec> thunder storm rolling in here, my power will often go off during a storm, so if I suddenly drop out you will know why
[23:18:49] -!- kjn has quit [Quit: Quit]
[23:19:31] <Aero-Tec> so are names case sensitive in linux CNC?
[23:20:07] <JT-Shop> variable names?
[23:20:27] <JT-Shop> or should I say named parameters?

[23:22:58] <Aero-Tec> cool, thanks a mill
[23:23:11] <Aero-Tec> so not case sensitive

[23:23:42] <Aero-Tec> storm is really getting loud
[23:24:00] <ssi> hdl is hard
[23:24:05] <JT-Shop> no, they get converted to lower case
[23:24:06] <ssi> just letting you all know :(
[23:24:29] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: vars dude, vars
[23:25:37] <Aero-Tec> speaking of witch, what is the best way to protect your CNC and also to best setup to deal with power bumps and outages during a storm?
[23:25:57] <JT-Shop> I turn them off
[23:26:10] <Jymmm> unplug them
[23:26:28] <JT-Shop> and what Jymmm said
[23:26:29] <Aero-Tec> I was thinking a UPS for both the CPU and the servos/steppers drivers
[23:26:53] <Jymmm> Aero-Tec: A UPS will NOT protect you from a storm
[23:27:23] <Jymmm> Aero-Tec: An expensive power conditoner might.
[23:27:59] <Aero-Tec> we have been getting a large number of power bumps here lately
[23:28:10] <Jymmm> Aero-Tec: Most UPS do not deal with inductive laods very well.
[23:28:59] <Aero-Tec> I do not need to produce during a power outage, but would be cool to have the machine start up from where it left off in mid cut
[23:29:54] <Aero-Tec> so large transformers for the steppers and servos would not work well with a UPS?
[23:30:46] <Aero-Tec> have a 1500 watt supply for mill and a 3000 watt one for the lathe
[23:31:24] <Aero-Tec> for the steppers for the mill and servos for the lathe
[23:32:11] <Aero-Tec> do not care if spindle winds down as long as the feed rate follows
[23:32:32] <Aero-Tec> and same with it coming on
[23:32:55] <Aero-Tec> if I was doing a heavy cut if maybe a problem on startup
[23:33:28] <Aero-Tec> soft start may fix that
[23:33:36] <Aero-Tec> any ideas?
[23:34:42] <Aero-Tec> one of the things I love about linux CNC is how it will stop mid cut when spindle is turned off and start up again with the spindle turned on
[23:34:52] <Aero-Tec> Mach would not do that
[23:35:01] -!- gabewillen has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
[23:35:27] <Aero-Tec> it took a read of spindle start of cut and that was assumed to be the speed for the full cut
[23:35:55] <Aero-Tec> sucked
[23:36:41] <JT-Shop> well guys see you all next week
[23:37:00] <Aero-Tec> have fun
[23:37:06] <JT-Shop> thanks
[23:37:27] <Jymmm> Aero-Tec: You will have to check your specific UPS to be sure. But no consumer grade UPS does well with inductive loads that I've ever seen. Industrial UPS is a different story.
