[11:25:20] <kengu> nice battery
[11:25:23] <AdnanCloud> is this linux like the linux OS?
[11:25:27] <AdnanCloud> why you guys talking about batterys
[11:25:42] <archivist> AdnanCloud, not in their right mind, you do realise this place is about cnc
[11:25:51] <AdnanCloud> whats cnc
[11:26:00] <archivist> machine tool control
[11:26:03] <AdnanCloud> ohhhh right
[11:26:09] <AdnanCloud> this is totally not what i wanted

[11:27:30] <jthornton> is the probe wireless?
[11:27:45] <archivist> it flashes the LEDs
[11:27:54] <archivist> I hope :)
[11:31:15] <Jymmm> archivist: This is VERY close phyiscally. you might need to find some plastic tubes for the diameter, and for the height, they are using thin magnets (DX.COM) http://www.batteryjunction.com/ultrafire-18350.html
[11:32:02] <Jymmm> archivist: Your battery: 25.6 x 31.7m
[11:32:43] <Jymmm> archivist: That battery: 18 x 35mm (nominal)
[11:35:00] <archivist> too long
[11:35:09] <Jymmm> archivist: spring contacts?
[11:35:48] <Jymmm> and no idea if that's protected (PCB) or not.
[11:36:15] <archivist> they are in a tube from the side
[11:36:51] <archivist> so about 6mm longer total

[11:37:44] <archivist> not dont exact measurements to see what space is left yet
[11:37:55] <archivist> done
[11:38:40] <Jymmm> I can't even find "1/2 C" size, only "1/2AA"
[11:38:53] <kengu> those lithium (18650 etc) cells are pretty easy as they tell the size in their type
[11:39:15] <archivist> they do seem very rare hence the silly price
[11:40:38] <Jymmm> archivist: Screw it, get some 16340's and make some adapters
[11:40:51] <Jymmm> CR123 etc
[11:40:54] <Jymmm> same diff

[13:00:20] <JesusAlos> I think have a problem with my machine for electronic noise issue
[13:00:46] <JesusAlos> Have linuxcnc any kind of input filter?
[13:01:16] <JesusAlos> software filter
[13:01:18] <jdh> debounce and lowpass
[13:01:36] <jdh> http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/debounce.9.html
[13:02:36] <JesusAlos> there are a example?
[13:02:46] <JesusAlos> example to use
[13:03:11] <Einar> As a rule you don't filter out noise in a digital system. Then you often also filter out your data. Use proper grounding and screening rules.
[13:03:48] <Einar> Use diodes or snubbers on relays, contactors and other noise sources.
[13:04:31] <jdh> what he said.
[13:04:31] <Einar> Follow installation rules for any VFD's. Do not save on filters where they are prescribed by the manufacturer.
[13:05:31] <Einar> Snubbers are used on AC components. Diodes are used on DC components (except reversible voltage equipment, where snubbers are used.
[13:05:53] <JesusAlos> I filter my electronic input with capacitor and resistor circuit
[13:05:57] <Einar> Snubber = Resistor and capacitor in series.
[13:06:05] <JesusAlos> but there still have noise
[13:06:38] <JesusAlos> so, I think in software filter
[13:06:48] <JesusAlos> or change the electronic board
[13:06:49] <Einar> Proper grounding of all components? Do not rely on your cabinet to provide good ground.
[13:07:32] <Einar> Noise are fought on 2 fronts! 1: Where it originates. 2: Where it can be picked up.
[13:08:07] <JesusAlos> the origin is from stepper drivers
[13:08:12] <Einar> Do you have a picture of your cabinet?
[13:08:24] <JesusAlos> Stepper drivers AC
[13:08:41] <JesusAlos> you refer my electrical schema?
[13:09:01] <Einar> No. A picture taken with a camera.
[13:10:10] <JesusAlos> not here
[13:10:17] <JesusAlos> late pass to you

[13:10:28] <JesusAlos> this is the card
[13:11:07] <JesusAlos> http://www.rta.it/es/prodotti.php?id_prodotto=42
[13:11:14] <JesusAlos> this the drivers
[13:13:50] <Einar> And you did notice the grounding tab on the drive, and you connected it to ground?

[13:14:24] <JesusAlos> I did connected all to GND
[13:14:42] <JesusAlos> and have a capacitor filter in input card
[13:14:50] <Einar> There is also a connection for Shield. Did you connect the shield of the motor cabling to this?
[13:14:51] <JesusAlos> capacitor to GND
[13:15:43] <JesusAlos> I connect the shield in side motor only
[13:16:14] <JesusAlos> but try connect in both fist and cabinet only then
[13:16:34] <JesusAlos> and the resut is different, but still noise
[13:16:46] <Einar> I have not read the manual for the stepper drive, but I would connect shield for motor cable to that point on the drive.
[13:17:43] <Einar> Also: How do you know you have noise entering your system, and at what point? ( Symproms? )
[13:18:00] <Einar> 'Symptoms'
[13:19:22] <JesusAlos> I connect my oscope in input. whe the drivers are with out power supply , no have noise
[13:19:40] <JesusAlos> when start drivers power supply. A lott noise
[13:20:00] <JesusAlos> you understand me?
[13:20:24] <Einar> What frequency? Is it stable or varying with your motor speed?

[13:20:59] -!- Loetmichel has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
[13:21:07] <JesusAlos> nor sure. but is not easy measure the noise
[13:21:43] <Einar> I often use the FFT function on the scope to get an idea.
[13:22:37] <JesusAlos> I thought in change my LPT card, because work with 5V
[13:22:44] <JesusAlos> and mount a 24V card
[13:23:19] <JesusAlos> the noise value voltage is abut 4-6 volts
[13:23:45] <JesusAlos> but the most easy now is try with a software filter
[13:24:48] <Einar> What poer supply do you yse for the drivers? Do not use a regulated supply. And certainly not a switch power!
[13:25:18] <JesusAlos> use 230V direct
[13:25:22] <Einar> Use just transformer + diode bridge + capacitors.
[13:25:34] <JesusAlos> no
[13:25:44] <Einar> OK. So it's internal to the drive then. That's OK.
[13:25:47] <JesusAlos> this is stepper AC drivers
[13:27:07] <JesusAlos> I would like to try with DEBOUNCE function. Do you know a sample to use?
[13:28:11] <Einar> If you have 4-6V noise, you need to take care of the noise. You may be able to filter it in software. But it may still kill youre electronic parts.
[13:28:56] <Einar> Is there noise just on the flanks of the signal? ( Switch chatter? )
[13:29:43] <Einar> When you say noise, do you mean overlaid noise or do you just mean false transistitions?
[13:29:46] <JesusAlos> no
[13:29:52] <JesusAlos> in both states
[13:30:07] <Einar> Can you post a scope snapshot?
[13:30:38] <JesusAlos> false transition
[13:31:11] <JesusAlos> don't have information in this PC
[13:31:12] <Einar> OK. And the transitition comes from where? An end switch?
[13:31:53] <JesusAlos> yes
[13:32:07] <JesusAlos> from Estop and Joint 2 (Z)
[13:32:12] <JesusAlos> principally
[13:33:08] <JesusAlos> wait go for pictures

[13:33:16] <Einar> OK. Then debounce is OK. If you use mechanical switches there will be bounce, but I would not call that noise. And for an end switch an RC filter is also OK. As it is not a fast signal.
[13:34:15] <Einar> But if you filter your step signal or encoder signal you will loose data at higher speeds.
[13:34:22] <jdh> (he's gone)
[13:34:56] <jdh> nobody would debounce a st or encoder signal
[13:35:14] <Einar> So will I. Have to make a component order so I get them tomorrow. Oh yes! Some will! I promise you. ;-)

[14:27:52] <Einar> And it looks like you don't run both leads from your limit switches back to the BOB. I guess one lead is going to all switches. That can be a noise pickup.

[14:29:03] <Einar> I would use optocouplers between switches and parport. I can't see any on your BOB.
[14:30:29] <Einar> But anyway, if what you have is false transititions when switces open or closes, then RC filtering can be used. It will delay the signal some, but those are really low bandwidth signals anyway.
[14:33:31] <Einar> Your scope should be able to show if you got noise or contact bounce.

[15:07:23] <gotham> I'm thinking of buying a lathe to retrofit to linuxcnc and I need a reality check.
[15:08:14] <gotham> Its a south bend magnaturn and the spindle and tool motion are controlled by hydraulics. Position is by glass scale.
[15:08:18] <mrsun> http://hidcomp.sourceforge.net/ found that also
[15:08:44] <cradek> would this be your first retrofit?

[15:11:59] <gotham> i've been looking for a lathe for awhile now. they seem to hold their value pretty well or be huge.
[15:12:36] <gotham> this hydraulic one is the right size and cheap and looks like its in great shape, seller says came out of vo tech for what that is worth
[15:13:14] <gotham> i've been reading about this lathe and people tend to complain about them but a lot of that seems like controller issues

[15:30:16] <gotham> Einar - I think that is an unconventional way to build a turret.
[15:30:41] <Einar> It's what is on the Boxford 250B.

[15:34:37] <Einar> How. Programming it in G-Code, ladder, C-code or .....
[15:36:48] <kwallace1> I wrote a comp component for my turret. http://www.wallacecompany.com/cnc_lathe/HNC/00025-1a.jpg
[15:37:43] <kwallace1> It uses a bit of basic C code.
[15:38:17] <cradek> I did a turret similar to kwallace's very easily in classicladder
[15:38:48] <cradek> mine doesn't have to turn backward, though, and it's run by an airmotor, not a stepper
[15:39:32] <Einar> How will that connect into the toolchange G-code? Does it interface through hal pins?
[15:39:42] <cradek> yes exactly
[15:40:09] <cradek> a hal pin says what tool or pocket to load, another one says GO, then you later say OK I'M DONE on a third pin
[15:41:26] <Einar> OK. So prety much as I would do it using an autonomous controller PLC or uCtrlr then. Except these pins will be tied not to a physical pin, but a logical pin?
[15:42:03] <cradek> I can't imagine a microcontroller being easier to use than classicladder
[15:42:29] <Einar> For me that could be the case. ;-)
[15:42:40] <Einar> Any examples in the source code?

[18:42:29] <JT-Shop> yea, that's why I turned off wifi on the eye things
[18:43:34] <Jymmm> Since your router doens't support snmp, you could setup a proxy and have everything go thru that, then setup filters to block stuff you dont know
[18:43:58] <Jymmm> Everything Blocked, and open as needed.
[18:44:16] <Jymmm> Maybe even a local caching dns server
[18:44:28] <JT-Shop> don't know how to do any of that
[18:47:05] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Check out "squid", lots of beginner tutorials for it.
[18:47:12] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Basically what is does is
[18:48:00] <Jymmm> cache things for you to save bandwidth, but also you can restrict what goes thru it as you can setup for authentication to even get to the internet

[18:56:08] <JT-Shop> it can be 4 port and be inbetween the 8 port and the modem?
[18:56:13] <Jymmm> you can just reuse your existing wifi routers if you like, up to you
[18:56:20] <JT-Shop> that would be simple to install
[18:56:22] <Jymmm> sure you can do that
[18:57:19] <JT-Shop> google had lots of hits for cisco when looking for snmp router
[18:58:19] <Jymmm> heh
[18:59:55] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: I just came across this... http://helpdeskgeek.com/networking/limit-bandwidth-on-a-netgear-wireless-router/
[19:00:02] <JT-Shop> will the box say snmp?
[19:00:29] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Dont worry about SNMP if oyu are going to buy a new one.
[19:00:44] <Jymmm> just make sure if has traffic control features
[19:00:45] <JT-Shop> why is that?
[19:00:49] <JT-Shop> ok
[19:02:36] <Jymmm> I think you want "Advanced Quality of Service (QoS)" but read the manusls before you buy
[19:03:47] <Jymmm> The reviews are iffy on that netgear router http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122378
[19:07:46] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: It seems a few netgear routers have somethning called "Traffic Meter" or "Traffic Monitor"
[19:08:00] <Jymmm> you can even set daily limits
[19:08:35] <Jymmm> But I have no clue how well it actually works.
[19:08:55] <Jymmm> the netgear implentation that is
[19:09:29] <Jymmm> It doens't look like you can select which traffic to alow/limit
[19:11:45] <Jymmm> It looks like SQUID can throttle traffic on a per user basis
[19:12:19] <Jymmm> Example: when the user have downloaded 2200 bytes after that its connection will be 32 kilo bits per second
[19:12:50] <Jymmm> but setup isn't exactly point and click
[19:12:57] <cradek> making a proxy does nothing if you don't block non-proxied traffic

[19:13:25] <Jymmm> cradek: Setup for all his lan traffic to go thru the proxy
[19:13:34] <Jymmm> cradek: via authentication
[19:13:51] <cradek> you mean web traffic? squid is a http proxy
[19:14:02] <Jymmm> cradek: it's more than web
[19:14:03] <cradek> you might guess his problem is with http, but that's only a guess
[19:15:01] <Jymmm> cradek: Nah, I wasn't making that assumption, just tring to come up with somethign straight forward
[19:15:47] <Jymmm> traffic shaping in consumer land is not something I usually do.
[19:16:07] <cradek> I think he probably just needs to sniff out his smoking gun
[19:16:27] <Jymmm> He needs to to be able to control/block traffic
[19:16:33] <Jymmm> and monitor too
[19:16:45] <Jymmm> so this doens't happen in the future
[19:16:58] <cradek> when he figures out what shitty ipad app is loading ads all day, he can nuke it and move on...
[19:17:16] <Jymmm> and then the next app that does it?

[19:17:24] <cradek> you might be right about it maybe recurring
[19:17:38] <cradek> but so far it's been a problem one time in the whole of history :-)
[19:17:39] <Jymmm> right when he's waiting for an important email, etc
[19:18:08] <Jymmm> as long as he's limited traffic wise, it won't hurt
[19:18:15] -!- motioncontrol has quit [Quit: Sto andando via]
[19:18:32] <Jymmm> he can also speed up surfing by blocking ads at the router
[19:19:10] <Jymmm> or whatever device he intends to get, so it has extra benefits
[19:19:26] <Jymmm> super high latency on sat as it is
[19:20:13] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: your sat modem might have SNMP too
[19:20:27] <Jymmm> if they give you any access to that that is

[21:13:14] <somenewguy> so this will make it obvious I have yet to get linuxCNC up and running since I desperatly need to make the parts in que right now, but I have a question about g-code generators
[21:14:02] <somenewguy> the most awfull (awfullest?) thing with Mach3 is using wizards" to create g-code and then manually splice it all together, removing non-standard starting and end blocks at the begging of each segment
[21:14:31] <somenewguy> I am wondering if there is a toolset out there that lets you stack a handfull of cutting operations and spits out one file when done
[21:14:52] <somenewguy> ie, face thsi area, cut a slot here, slot here, cut a hole here, stop
[21:15:08] <somenewguy> makeing it 400x times easier to tweak designs later, or is this a thing I would need to write myself if I wanted it?
[21:16:27] <andypugh> somenewguy: ngcgui
[21:17:34] <andypugh> http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gui/ngcgui.html

[21:19:55] -!- tmcw has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[21:20:05] <somenewguy> model all the negatives you need in space, you then punch that into the g-code generator as a "part" file and wham instant g-code
[21:20:12] <somenewguy> but thank you for telling me what it is called
[21:20:31] <somenewguy> hopefully I will be done with these parts by tonight so I can start the install/calibration before weds
[21:21:00] <somenewguy> can't imagine its more than 5 hours work to go from zero to a calibrated install on a stepper driven mill
[21:22:04] <andypugh> I have something simpler than ngcgui on my lathe, I just have a bunch of parameterised routines, and do them in sequence. No good for production, but really quick for one-offs and "thinking in metal"
[21:22:19] <somenewguy> which is basically what I do
[21:22:30] <somenewguy> everything is a one off, but verrrrry similar to the last one off
[21:22:56] <somenewguy> and lots of arcs and slots off axis, which is hard for us newbies to read and edit intelligently
[21:23:31] <somenewguy> although with this mill being my step up from using a drill press, praise the gods for peck drill cycles. I can make the prettiest holes in acrylic wherever I damn well please!

[21:45:47] <jd896> That should work I'm reading your webpage as we speak Andy about your lathe routines

[21:47:54] <somenewguy> stupid question ab out home switches
[21:48:16] <somenewguy> I accidently ordered some switches that I love, but they had less in stock than claimed and are 3 weeks out for me to get the other two
[21:48:26] <somenewguy> I am using microroller switches
[21:48:30] <andypugh> jd896: I now have a GladeVCP version. http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/41-guis/26550-lathe-macros
[21:48:46] <somenewguy> do I want MORE or LESS actuating force? I think more is more accurate since shwarf is less likely to remain in the way
[21:48:57] <jd896> I've had a few part runs on there where the plate thickness has changed and I have to go back and change the file in pronest
[21:48:59] <somenewguy> but if its a ton of force, mabye the dinky little arm is flexgin during press?

[21:55:22] <somenewguy> switch bounce is delicious
[21:55:28] <jd896> Is that still only in master ?
[21:55:46] <somenewguy> I can turn the homing down nice and slow, linuxcnc zeros on release, right?

[22:15:11] <PCW> but fabs_chan_0=AA64 does not work either
[22:16:12] <somenewguy> can linuxcnc directly toggle output pins in a clear and straightforward way?
[22:16:20] <PCW> yes
[22:16:22] <somenewguy> either teh two outputs on my gecko driver are dead, or mach3 is confusing me
[22:16:30] <somenewguy> and I can't tell if I am really toggling the outputs
[22:16:36] <somenewguy> in linuxCNC it is clear?
[22:16:50] <PCW> setp (pinname) true
[22:16:50] <somenewguy> alternatly I can toggle them with nothing on the far end of the cable and use a DMM?
[22:16:52] <PCW> setp (pinname) false
[22:16:55] <andypugh> How are you trying to toggle the outputs?

[22:23:06] <somenewguy> these parts only need a few slots and peck drilling, so I am considering pushing my luck
[22:23:12] <somenewguy> haha
[22:23:42] <somenewguy> how long does it take to set up the mechanics of the mill? IE setting up stepper drivers, calibrating whatever the eheck needs calibrating on initial setup etc
[22:24:10] <somenewguy> I plan on re-using as many numerical settings from mach3 (accel, limits etc) so I don't need to fuss too much on that, but I don't konw how much mroe is involved
[22:24:13] <JT-Shop> stepper drives are pretty easy, what drives do you have?
[22:24:31] <JT-Shop> oh by the way I can convert you mark config to stepconf

[22:38:12] <somenewguy> JT-Shop: how much work goes into converting hte mach3 config to stepconf?
[22:38:58] <andypugh> somenewguy: It's a macro: http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/16-stepconf-wizard/25900-mach-3-conversion-to-stepconf-wizard
[22:39:37] <JT-Shop> type about 15 letters and hit enter
[22:39:50] <somenewguy> I think I can hanlde that
[22:40:07] <somenewguy> I take it you are bigjohnt JT?
[22:40:26] <JT-Shop> uh, no I type it and my program converts it for you then I give it back
[22:40:35] <JT-Shop> aye we are the same person
[22:41:07] <somenewguy> ok, gonna go grab a pizza, then its back to the dungeon to grab that config and pm it to you?
[22:41:20] <somenewguy> also linuxCNC seems to support a sidewinder pad, yes?

[22:46:16] <PCW> andypugh: I would expect halscope to see a 1KHz signals as 1 Hz if
[22:46:18] <PCW> 1. its running at 1 KHz servo thread
[22:46:19] <PCW> 2. its not phase locked for some reason (so the DPLL is running at 1Hz faster or slower than the servo thread)

[22:47:06] <andypugh> I need to put the GPIO read in the fast thread too!
[22:47:09] <andypugh> Doh!
[22:47:51] <PCW> 1 Hz does suggest that the DPLL is not phase locked
[22:49:23] <andypugh> There is something funny going on, anyway.
[22:50:56] <PCW> I would normally not use a base thread as it will just add more jitter
[22:52:56] <PCW> 1 Hz is .1 % so should lock easily
[22:52:57] <PCW> (lock can be determined by watching phase error)

[22:55:57] <somenewguy> JT-Shop: yeah Im registered now, same nick
[22:56:00] <andypugh> The over-run error bit triggers at 1Hz too, for 25mS at 1000kHz SSI frequency, and for 130ms at 200kHz
[22:56:27] <PCW> Yeah, you are not locked
[22:57:00] <somenewguy> well I found a usb drive with my old college senior project on it, but not the one with the backed up configs
[22:57:02] <JT-Shop> just attach your mark xml to the sticky in StepConf Wizard section
[22:57:09] <somenewguy> how should I send you the ... oh ok
[22:57:11] <somenewguy> got it
[22:57:26] <somenewguy> i will do that ass soon as I finish eating

[23:10:52] <andypugh> I am not sure I follow 0xA000 as FPrescale. If that is the param I think you mean, it is the top 8 bits of a 32 but register, and A000 doesn't fit either way I read it.
[23:12:04] <PCW> Prescale if for the DPLL frequency FPrescale sets the low pass filter time constant

[23:16:30] <PCW> Ok Thanks, and ' night
[23:16:37] <Aero-Tec> need some help
[23:17:18] <Aero-Tec> need to measure the dia of something with out touching it and that EMC can monitor
[23:18:06] <andypugh> If it is around 100m diameter I have just the device.
[23:18:14] <Aero-Tec> EMC will need to react to the out put of the measurements system
[23:18:35] <Aero-Tec> less then 2mm
[23:19:04] <andypugh> How big? Stationary or moving (like an extrusion, for example)
[23:19:05] <Aero-Tec> to 0.05mm accuracy
[23:19:22] <andypugh> Actual size or limits?
[23:19:37] <PCW> Andy maybe the AA64 thing just stopped working, Ill try a suitable format string
[23:19:39] <Aero-Tec> it is controlling a extrusion process
[23:20:08] <PCW> capacitive sensor?
[23:20:23] <Aero-Tec> plastic?
[23:20:32] <PCW> Sure
[23:20:53] <andypugh> PCW: AA64 is definitely working here.
[23:21:00] <andypugh> Let me commit then push.

[23:22:09] <Aero-Tec> not sure how that can work
[23:22:20] <Aero-Tec> ant examples of this?
[23:22:24] <Aero-Tec> any
[23:22:35] <archivist> shadow and webcam, laser and and similar
[23:22:52] <Aero-Tec> I was thinking laser
[23:22:56] <PCW> Let me find a link
[23:23:13] <archivist> mitutoyo sell something that has a laser
[23:23:18] <Aero-Tec> but how to sense it and input it to EMC?
[23:23:30] <archivist> scanner sensor
[23:23:47] <andypugh> Webcam and (err, that image recognition thing) sounds cheapest to me.
[23:24:11] <Aero-Tec> I was thinking web cam
[23:24:29] <archivist> but your optics will require some calibration
[23:24:47] <Aero-Tec> but had no idea how to use it as a way to sense and use that in EMC

[23:27:09] <Tom_itx> inductive to digital

[23:27:16] <archivist> there are those laser line devices one gets in home tool products too
[23:27:17] <Tom_itx> i'm checking
[23:27:21] <Tom_itx> it's in the logs for sure

[23:34:40] <Tom_L> there's the sensor for what it's worth

[23:37:12] <Aero-Tec> mitutoyo one is way to much money
[23:37:47] <Aero-Tec> sensing deviation for a feedback loop may work
[23:37:54] <andypugh> The Keyence one is basically a CCD. SO much the same as Webcam / OpenCV solution.
[23:38:15] <Aero-Tec> OpenCV?
[23:38:26] <Aero-Tec> should I do a search for that?

[23:41:24] <jdh> how accurate are you looking for?

[23:44:03] <andypugh> LED and photosensor might work.
[23:44:24] <andypugh> (more or less shadow)

[23:44:47] <archivist> the output temp may be sensed instead of size
[23:44:59] <Aero-Tec> that OpenCV looks like it may work
