[07:27:19] <mrsun> hmm what can it be when i do not get a plot of the part in linuxcnc?
[07:27:26] <mrsun> it runs the parts fine
[07:27:33] <mrsun> but i do not get the lines outlining the part =)
[07:27:36] <mrsun> the backplot i get
[07:47:53] <awallin> you should see the toolpath
[07:48:22] <awallin> possibly the part-outline if your g-code uses tool-offset
[07:48:36] <archivist> just zoom out far enough to see it and get it in the window
[07:53:13] <mrsun> awallin, only thing i see is the backplot of where the tool has been
[07:53:43] <archivist> click the broom
[07:53:44] <mrsun> archivist, but i can see the lines for where the tool has been and its aligned in the window so i can follow the cutting but the actual part outline isnt there? :)
[07:54:04] <awallin> have you tweaked the AXIS colors? graphics working otherwise ok?
[07:54:11] <mrsun> archivist, this has been so for a while now, even with restarts and everything =)
[07:54:13] <archivist> part outline?
[07:54:17] <mrsun> awallin, havent touched stuff like that
[07:54:35] <mrsun> archivist, yes usaly you can see the part being cut then you see the lines where the tool has been when machine is running
[07:54:51] <archivist> there is no facility to draw the part yet
[07:55:05] <mrsun> archivist, eh ... the outline of the part has been showing before ...
[07:55:36] <archivist> the white lines to show the future cut path you mean
[07:55:42] <mrsun> http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gui/images/axis-currentandselected.png like that
[07:55:46] <mrsun> archivist, ahh yes
[07:55:49] <mrsun> its those i mean
[08:01:29] <awallin> does it work for some g-code and not for something else?
[08:04:22] <mrsun> i do not see the "linuxcnc" thing when i start the program either
[08:04:30] <mrsun> or emc2 or whatever it says

[09:19:11] <OhmEye> lol
[09:19:38] <awallin> is that due to lost steps, or?
[09:20:14] <OhmEye> An arduino RUNS my 3D printer. :) And I haven't had any failures like that in many dozens of kg printed.

[11:40:41] <archivist> buy an antique clocking in clock and some cards for it
[11:41:09] <archivist> or quill and ink
[11:41:38] <archivist> I am terrible at recording jobs too :)
[11:41:52] <ReadError> i just want some good estimates of how long certain toolpaths take
[11:42:03] <ReadError> some stuff i randomly figured out and can set my cellphone timer
[11:42:51] <archivist> this job I am running right now is easy as I know time per pass and number of passes
[11:44:03] <archivist> but your question is a regular in the channel, someone needs to write some code
[11:46:21] <pdurbin> is there an open bug/issue for this?
[11:46:40] <archivist> axis knows everything having parsed the gcode and drawn the plot, it could be summing the approximate total time and then showing a progress percentage, although it cannot know the g0 timings
[11:47:51] <archivist> it is the unknowns, and has the user dragged the feed rate percentage slider etc
[11:58:23] <ReadError> archivist: yea that would be awesome, something that takes the gcode speed and the slider speed, max speed, etc
[12:00:31] <archivist> we await your coding :)

[15:21:09] <taiden> afternoon everyone
[15:21:24] <taiden> i'm having issues calling a subroutine. i've used subroutines in the past with no issues.
[15:21:44] -!- mhaberler [mhaberler!~mhaberler@macbook.stiwoll.mah.priv.at] has joined #linuxcnc
[15:21:46] <taiden> for some reason, after the last move in the subroutine, it stops the parent toolpath
[15:22:25] <taiden> i've scoured the end of the subroutine for clues and have turned off all end program m-codes such that it matches my existing, working subroutine exampls
[15:22:27] <taiden> examples
[15:22:40] <taiden> i turned them off by commenting them out with parens
[15:22:45] <taiden> any wisdom?
[15:23:10] <andypugh> Any chance that a Windows-style line-end found its way into the file?
[15:23:54] <andypugh> (And I rather thought that a subroutine was meant to have an M2 outside the subroutine definition)
[15:23:55] -!- nspiel [nspiel!126f245a@gateway/web/freenode/ip.18.111.36.90] has joined #linuxcnc
[15:24:33] <nspiel> i just went to a swap meet and they had a small sherline cnc lather for sale without controller for $300
[15:24:59] <andypugh> So you now own a small sherline CNC lathe without a controller?
[15:25:03] <Tom_itx> they're pretty light weight. i have a sherline mill
[15:25:09] <Tom_itx> but i have fun with it anyway
[15:25:38] <Tom_itx> i could use the head to make a rotary axis :)
[15:25:59] <nspiel> i havent bought it yet. i dunno if its worth it
[15:26:14] <Tom_itx> i'd sink my money into some steel over aluminum
[15:26:15] <andypugh> Only you can answer that question.
[15:26:37] <Tom_itx> i've had mine for probalby 20 yrs or more
[15:26:44] <taiden> How would I check for a windows style line end?
[15:26:58] <taiden> i wouldn't be surprised, the toolpath was generated on a windows computer, all my others were written on linux by hand
[15:27:09] <taiden> and this is the only toolpath that has given me this issue
[15:27:15] <taiden> i also have added the M2 to the outside
[15:27:28] <taiden> the general conventions match my subroutiens that function fine

[15:49:59] <andypugh> I am perfectly content with http://www.zappautomation.co.uk/en/stepper-drivers/302-m542.html and they have been running my machine for years.
[15:50:51] <spack> i'm using a leadshine at work, it works and was incredibly cheap/free
[15:51:01] <Tom_itx> andypugh, those are discontinued
[15:51:04] <andypugh> ReadError 60V 6A and easy wiring looks very useful.
[15:51:05] <archivist> ah yes leadshine not longshine
[15:51:29] <archivist> looks the same as the arc euro I am using except for the name

[15:52:38] <ReadError> 1/64 microstepping?
[15:52:40] <ReadError> jebus
[15:52:59] <archivist> 1/2 is enough
[15:53:32] <CaptHindsight> what if you need 1um steps for your 2mm lead screws?
[15:53:38] <ReadError> Anti resonance for low and middle speed
[15:53:44] <ReadError> this sounds interesting
[15:53:47] Tecan is now known as z256
[15:54:02] <spack> i need up to 1/16 for some stuff, but i wouldn't trust much higher than that
[16:01:31] <Tom_itx> do you really notice the 1/16 microsteps?
[16:02:32] <archivist> CaptHindsight, that resolution is snake oil
[16:03:44] <archivist> more people should read http://www.micromo.com/microstepping-myths-and-realities.aspx
[16:06:16] <CaptHindsight> so you just oversize the motor by 100x, problem solved :)
[16:10:38] <archivist> nope
[16:10:59] <archivist> the magnetics are not that linear between steps
[16:12:20] <archivist> only if you add optical feedback and put it in a loop could you get that resolution/accuracy

[17:24:12] <IchGuckLive> B) hi
[17:26:57] <Jymmm> archivist: Have you ever come across a flaring tool for tiny diameter, very thin wall tubing?
[17:28:47] <archivist> I would use a blunt watchmakers/clockmakers taper broach/reamer , or just make something
[17:30:59] <Jymmm> archivist: ok, thanks.
[17:31:58] <archivist> but depends on what kind or amount of flaring

[23:38:43] <Aero-Tec> wanting to set up my tool table properly
[23:39:14] <Aero-Tec> been running with my own system, but time to do things the right way, if there is such a thing
[23:40:27] <Aero-Tec> in the JT tut it says to have a tool loaded and fixture selected for zeroing the tool table
[23:41:08] <Aero-Tec> so what if you have no tool table yet, so no tools setup
[23:41:33] <Aero-Tec> and can one use tool zero for setting up tool table?
[23:41:53] <Aero-Tec> any feed back would be great
[23:44:53] <andypugh> I think you can use tool zero (a non-tool with no offsets and no tool table entry) in theory, but in practice it has nowhere to store a diameter, and M6 T0 means "unload tool"
[23:45:19] -!- nspiel has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
[23:45:23] <andypugh> So, it is more normal for Tool 1 to be the no-offsets tool, because at least it has somewhere to store the other tool data.
[23:45:56] <andypugh> And you can just create a tool table with tooledit.
[23:46:36] <Aero-Tec> so tool zero has no tool offset to set?
[23:46:37] <andypugh> Make entries for each tool, with the info about them, but no lengths, then touch them off.
[23:47:03] <andypugh> Indeed.
[23:47:22] <Aero-Tec> I just set up a manual homing system with a dial gage
[23:47:34] <andypugh> Which would be fine, as it would save you the danger of accidentally giving it an offset by pressing the wrong touch-off option.
[23:47:38] <Aero-Tec> and have no idea what to do next
[23:47:59] <andypugh> But neither does it have anywhere to store tool diameter.
[23:48:41] <Aero-Tec> do I home with the new machine zero I just setup?
[23:48:49] <Aero-Tec> then what?
[23:49:21] <Aero-Tec> what about the fixture?
[23:49:42] <Aero-Tec> when I set that if does not have the tool table option any more
[23:50:14] <Aero-Tec> so does selecting fixture auto to zeroing tool table?
[23:50:32] <andypugh> I don't know, I have no idea what anyone means by a "fixture"
[23:50:33] <Aero-Tec> if so why would it matter about what tool is loaded?
[23:51:58] <Aero-Tec> also would like to know whats the difference with setting home zero and zeroing tool table?
[23:52:38] <Aero-Tec> my head is swimming with offsets and wondering how they all fit together
[23:52:50] <andypugh> Mine too, I am going to sleep.
[23:53:09] <Aero-Tec> night
[23:53:19] <Aero-Tec> thanks for the help
