[00:03:16] <CHNCguy> Hey Hey guys IM BACK :)
[00:03:44] <g_mouer> gottcha
[00:03:57] <CHNCguy> So, here is where I am at with my cnc lathe conversion, hoping to get some help: I installed linuxcnc with 10.04
[00:04:05] <CHNCguy> got my mesa 7I75 and 5I25
[00:04:19] <CHNCguy> hooked up it and I got a yellow light on 7I76*
[00:04:26] <CHNCguy> its a 7I76*
[00:04:33] <g_mouer> all done, think I am all set now, its ran ok and is under master
[00:04:37] <g_mouer> thanks a bunch
[00:04:57] <CHNCguy> Now I am in Pncconf, but can not see or select 5I25, any help?
[00:04:58] <ju-emb> update runs without errors?
[00:05:16] <g_mouer> everything is currrent it shows
[00:05:53] <ju-emb> apt-get update
[00:05:56] <ju-emb> completed?
[00:06:28] <ju-emb> so run
[00:06:30] <ju-emb> apt-cache search libmodbus
[00:06:59] <g_mouer> yes, did it, no errors
[00:07:35] <ju-emb> does
[00:07:37] <ju-emb> apt-cache search libmodbus
[00:07:39] <ju-emb> it show any lines
[00:07:45] -!- andypugh has quit [Quit: andypugh]
[00:08:42] <g_mouer> yes found "library for modbus protocol" think we got it
[00:08:50] <ju-emb> perfect
[00:09:02] <g_mouer> can't thank you enough
[00:09:26] <ju-emb> so type:
[00:09:28] <ju-emb> apt-get install libmodbus-dev
[00:09:30] <g_mouer> now back to my 3rd linuxcnc retrofit, a RF45 mill, got the 10,000 rpm spindle running
[00:11:46] <g_mouer> install dev just fine
[00:12:20] <ju-emb> so you shouldn't have any deb problems anymore
[00:12:45] <g_mouer> look to be in good shape. Thanks again
[00:12:45] <CHNCguy> Not to highjack the chat but, quick question guys, how do I get the 5I25 to show up in the PncConf?
[00:13:33] <g_mouer> there is a autoinstall script in the linuxcnc forum, under the pncconf section, download and run that and your 5i25 will appear
[00:13:38] <g_mouer> just did it today

[00:15:36] <JT-Shop> what a PIA
[00:15:37] <CHNCguy> thanks g_mouer, got a link?
[00:15:56] <g_mouer> yes, give me a sec and I will get you the link
[00:16:07] <CHNCguy> thanks, im looking for it also :D
[00:16:09] <JT-Shop> I had to clean up a mid tower case to fit the motherboard in and...
[00:16:41] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop, the pastebin link for the 2.6 install... will that interfere with a current 2.5 install or can they both reside together?
[00:16:56] <JT-Shop> at least my monitor is recognized now and the screen resolution is right
[00:17:08] <JT-Shop> it overrides it Tom_itx
[00:17:14] <g_mouer> here are the 5i25 support files in this link
http://linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/39-pncconf/21670-5i25-firmware-xml-files-for-pncconf
[00:17:26] <Tom_itx> crap. i didn't wanna mess up my current setup
[00:17:26] <JT-Shop> if you want to play with master I'd use a RIP
[00:17:36] <JT-Shop> just get a RIP
[00:17:42] <Tom_itx> rip?
[00:17:48] <JT-Shop> Run In Place
[00:17:59] <CHNCguy> thanks g_mouer, ;)
[00:18:01] <Tom_itx> i got a ssd i could plug in
[00:18:33] <Tom_itx> is 2.6 stable enough to use yet?

[00:18:59] <JT-Shop> do you need a feature from master?
[00:19:06] <Tom_itx> nope
[00:19:12] <JT-Shop> CHNCguy, is this mike
[00:19:15] <Tom_itx> other than better card monitoring
[00:19:34] <JT-Shop> it does have some better features for Mesa cards
[00:19:45] <Tom_itx> are you running it on anything?
[00:20:17] <JT-Shop> I was running it on the BP knee mill but I'm running 2.5 at the moment
[00:20:59] <JT-Shop> CHNCguy, are you Mike?
[00:21:20] <g_mouer> master has a lot of the pncconf improvements for the new mesa 5i25 daughter boards too
[00:21:22] <JT-Shop> Tom_itx, you should have seen the dust build up in that mid tower
[00:21:34] <Tom_itx> i bet
[00:21:40] <JT-Shop> pncconf is a one shot deal
[00:21:45] <Tom_itx> i blow mine out every few months
[00:21:54] <JT-Shop> once your configuration is set up you never use it again
[00:22:17] <JT-Shop> I started putting those filter things on the fans you can cut up
[00:22:20] <Tom_itx> i'm not sure i ever used it
[00:22:24] <g_mouer> true, I have done it a few times, but it sure helps a beginner get started with the mesa boards
[00:22:47] <g_mouer> gets a decent start on a hal
[00:23:06] <ju-emb> JT-Shop: seems to be the day of PC modding
[00:23:08] <ju-emb> I miss a Y power cable for hdd, someone can halp me out here ;-)
[00:23:11] <JT-Shop> sometimes yes, but the configs are hard to read
[00:24:19] <g_mouer> all the cables I have around and I don't have a Y hdd cable, sorry
[00:24:36] <JT-Shop> an like Andy says if you can't fix it you don't own it
[00:24:59] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Um....
[00:25:06] <g_mouer> I dopn't find them hard to read but it does make a lot of pins that are probably not going to get used, that clutters the hal up a bit

[08:35:35] <uw> hello
[08:35:54] <archivist_herron> a good rats nest never hurt anyone :)
[08:42:06] <Jymmm> We had a custom vibration testing machine, the bed was 110lbs of magnesium floating on oil, connected to a 220VAC 3ph coil (basically a giant speaker), the "amp" was three cabinets wide, the power transistors were water cooled with no clamps....
[08:42:50] <archivist_herron> I did take a picture of american street wiring while on holiday as it is just as bad
[08:43:50] <Jymmm> the wireing was so beautifully done that you could trace each wire in the cables. All suspend in mid air, wax string tied perfectly.
[08:44:16] <Jymmm> It was THE MOST BEAUTIFUL wiring I have ever seen, beyond artwork.
[08:44:35] <Jymmm> Each bend was a PERFECT 90 degree
[08:45:28] <Jymmm> This went WAY beyond ADD
[08:46:25] <Jymmm> They must of made special fixtures for it all.
[08:47:27] <archivist_herron> http://www.pinterest.com/overstim/cable-porn/
[08:52:11] <Jymmm> archivist_herron: Not anythign even close to this cabinets wiring, it truly was beautiful.... You could trace a single wire in a harness even arounds bends.
[08:53:13] <Jymmm> If a wire was in the 3oclock position of the harness, it was that way all the way thru the harness.
[08:57:49] <Jymmm> Take tis for example...
http://cdn.speednik.com/image/2013/06/IMG_12181.jpg
[08:59:11] <Jymmm> Each wire would be bent perfectly coming down from the screw terminal, then you would be able to visiually trace the pink wire all the way to it's end without having to twist the harness around or anything.
[09:00:00] <Jymmm> not one cable clamp anywhere. All self standing/supporting.

[09:51:17] <vikingsraven> ok thanks, ill be finished at work soon, need to get this running this weekend if possible. do you know if anyone is using it on a gravgraph x86 machine?
[09:51:37] <archivist_herron> a lot run a network cable to the machine to update and ask in irc while setting up
[09:51:55] <archivist_herron> not aware
[09:52:52] <vikingsraven> ill do that. cheers, not sure on what settings ill need for the stepper motors, been using mach 3 so far but its limited to 150 lines of g code without purchasing license.

[11:15:30] <jthornton> morning
[11:18:50] <CHNCguy> Hey John
[11:19:24] <jthornton> CHNCguy, are you Mike?
[11:19:29] <CHNCguy> tried to call you back yesterday, sorry about that
[11:19:31] <CHNCguy> Yes
[11:19:58] <jthornton> I'm in and out of the shop all day
[11:20:08] <CHNCguy> same here ;D
[11:20:48] <jthornton> for me I prefer to start with a basic config and add bits at a time so I know what is in the config
[11:21:01] <CHNCguy> I was setting up the io for my 7i76, and i set 0 to x step and 1 to z step, is their a dir pin also?
[11:21:14] <CHNCguy> I am there too, just trying to get the motors to spin ;)
[11:21:42] <CHNCguy> Do you remember your pulley ratio?
[11:22:17] <jthornton> the 7i76 has step and direction pins for up to 5 axes
[11:23:02] <CHNCguy> Yes, I just need to look on mesa to see which pin is which ;)
[11:23:43] -!- skunkworks has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[11:23:48] <jthornton> do you have a sample configuration to start with or are you going to use pncconf?
[11:24:03] <CHNCguy> Just curious, but what kind of rapids were u able to achieve?
[11:24:25] <CHNCguy> I am using pncconf
[11:25:08] <jthornton> I'd have to look, the travel on the CHNC is pretty short so I did not dwell on rapid speed much
[11:25:57] <CHNCguy> No worries ;), I am stumped though on my step spacing, I can not seem to find the step and hold timing for my HBS86 leadshine drives
[11:26:03] <jthornton> I used the original drives
[11:26:13] <CHNCguy> I set the default to 10000 as per linux site
[11:26:42] <jthornton> cncbasher on the forum is your guy for leadshine drives
[11:26:50] <CHNCguy> I sold my original drives, but I do have 2 of the black boxed brushless drives still
[11:27:00] <CHNCguy> ill have to look him up
[11:29:42] <CHNCguy> So I just now working on the elctronics, ill get the motors to work first, then the limits, then the turret. Im still stuck on the turret part, how do I get your files into linuxcnc? (Sorry for the newb question ;)
[11:30:51] <jthornton> well I would start with the e-stop then the limits then move the axes
[11:31:10] <jthornton> just copy and paste the relevant sections
[11:31:11] <CHNCguy> *the motors and all electronics are on the bench
[11:31:21] <CHNCguy> not connected to anything
[11:31:23] <jthornton> oh that is a different story
[11:31:35] <CHNCguy> but e-stop would be great ;D
[11:34:06] -!- The_Ball has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[11:34:20] <CHNCguy> How would you go about configuring your hardware on the bench, since you have done an in machine retro. *I will be the machine with new wires, old wires were cracked and nasty
[11:35:55] <jthornton> first thing you might want to do is figure out your scale which is how many turns per inch of the ball screw * how many pulses per rev for your motors * any gear reduction
[11:38:06] <jthornton> TB2 is the step and direction terminal block on the 7i76
[11:39:50] <CHNCguy> well the motors are 200 steps per in, but the drives can micro step a ton, I just set it to default 200 steps per rev, the ballscrew is .2 pitch to 5 tpi, and the reduction is I am thinking a 6 to 1 from the motor pulley to the ballscrew pulley.
[11:39:59] <CHNCguy> 200 steps per rev*
[11:41:16] <jthornton> on steppers microstepping can be good and bad at the same time, good for slow speed bad for high speed
[11:41:44] <jthornton> 6:1 is a lot are you sure?
[11:42:16] * jthornton wishes he knew the link to archivist stepper micro stepping page that he likes
[11:42:38] <CHNCguy> the pulley on the ballscrew has 60 teeth, and (I am guessing here, can't find the motor pulley at the moment) the motor pulley was 10 i think
[11:42:54] <CHNCguy> in the pncconf it asked the teeth ratio, not the gear ratio in the settings
[11:43:01] <jthornton> yep that is 6:1
[11:43:27] <CHNCguy> it might be like 15 or so but these are just rough calculations
[11:44:34] <CHNCguy> So what accuracy where u able to achieve with your machine? (Resolution and part accuracy)
[11:45:09] <jthornton> it's pretty tight and can hold 0.001" easy
[11:45:47] <jthornton> accuracy really depends on the condition of your ball screws
[11:45:57] <CHNCguy> nice, I am hoping for that level of accuracy especially since I reground the slide, and am currently re-turciting the saddle.
[11:46:51] <CHNCguy> Both machine ball screws look and feel brand new, except the z axis on one of them, cant feel any slop, but its was just really muky and nasty
[11:47:00] <CHNCguy> *correction I mean i regound the ways
[11:47:17] <CHNCguy> Don't ever use water based coolant on these machines....
[11:47:46] -!- GuShH [GuShH!~GuShH@unaffiliated/gushh] has joined #linuxcnc
[11:47:49] <CHNCguy> I have spent hours and hours cleaning and cleaning water based coolant out of the one
[11:48:22] <jthornton> I use a water based coolant and yea it is fun to clean the coolant tank
[11:48:58] <CHNCguy> I would recommend not using it. It gets into everything
[11:49:22] <CHNCguy> It toasted the spindle bearings, corroded lots of parts
[11:49:36] <jthornton> I had to make a shield for the turrent motor area
[11:49:36] <CHNCguy> ruined the turcite on the saddle
[11:49:51] <jthornton> some water based is not as bad as others
[11:50:02] <CHNCguy> The turret was super nasty did u see my pics LOL
[11:50:04] <jthornton> sounds like you have a major rebuild going
[11:50:09] <jthornton> no

[11:52:07] <jthornton> you should post that on the LinuxCNC forum
[11:52:25] <jthornton> mine was nasty in the turret area too
[11:52:29] <CHNCguy> maybe Ill link it LOL
[11:52:50] <CHNCguy> I am currently repaint and rebuilding
[11:56:10] <CHNCguy> So, if i didnt want to use the turret encoder, and wanted to use an encoder could i?
[11:56:37] <CHNCguy> the reason is because I only have 1 turret encoder and 2 machines ;D
[11:59:25] <jthornton> rob_h, changed one of his CHNC's turret to a servo drive and got rid of the air motor
[11:59:38] <jthornton> no turret encoder needed with that setup
[12:01:28] <CHNCguy> I thought about that, but not a lot of room.

[12:10:49] <jthornton> better is such a hard word to quantify, what is better to use a less efficient air motor that you have or buy a new servo
[12:11:16] -!- b_b has quit [Changing host]
[12:12:02] <jthornton> if I was running a production shop were every second = $ I would not think twice about changing the air motor out for a servo which gives shorter times tool to tool as you can go either direction
[12:12:42] <jthornton> just about every part I make for the machines I build is a one off so seconds don't mean much for me
[12:13:10] <CHNCguy> true, how would you home it though? Wouldnt you need to home it first? And how could you do that nicely?
[12:14:15] <jthornton> just like you home any axis to a prox then use the index from the encoder
[12:15:19] <CHNCguy> I looked at your thread, is there a thread from rob_h?

[12:16:47] <CHNCguy> haha ;) maybe, do you think a small stepper might do the job fine?
[12:16:55] <CHNCguy> ahh scratch that stepper such
[12:16:57] <CHNCguy> suck
[12:17:07] -!- kent1 has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
[12:17:31] <CHNCguy> ill try to size up a small servo to stick in their and get a gecko drive for it.
[12:19:27] <jthornton> that just sounds so wrong to use step and direction with a servo... IMHO
[12:19:50] <CHNCguy> so how might I program the tool change positions? By degrees? Also the turret spins until the stop dog is fired correct? Could I get rid of the stop dog all together.
[12:20:49] <CHNCguy> ** I will most likely just get servos, but I heard they hybrid servos are awesome, so I will attempt to see how good they are. They have 8nm of torque, about 4 times the torque of the original motors, they act just like a servo, they auto correct and everything
[12:21:41] <jthornton> try and catch rob_h on here later in the day and ask him what he did
[12:21:42] <CHNCguy> And they run at 3k also
[12:22:11] <CHNCguy> I am thinking you could get rid of the stop dog, because when the turret seats, it has its own alignment dogs on the top
[12:22:56] <jthornton> sounds right to me, the servo just moves the turret to the correct place and down you go
[12:23:12] <jthornton> so the only pneumatics left is the lift cylinder
[12:23:34] <CHNCguy> yup, and so does it take air to hold the turret down?
[12:23:59] <jthornton> I think that is correct
[12:24:38] <CHNCguy> Awesome, I will swap out the air motor, Ill get it to work :), and nicely too :D
[12:25:16] <CHNCguy> Ill upload all the info on the thread I posted earlier
[12:31:03] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop, i've always been curious.. since in your situation you do alot of one off parts, is it still beneficial to use cnc to cut them or would it timewise be just as productive to manually mill them?
[12:31:15] <Tom_itx> or do you just like the idea of cnc?
[12:32:27] -!- PetefromTn [PetefromTn!~quassel@75-139-0-138.dhcp.kgpt.tn.charter.com] has joined #linuxcnc
[12:32:57] <jthornton> I think the CNC is faster just because I don't have to stop and measure a lot
[12:33:16] <Tom_itx> i wasn't sure given the programming time etc
[12:33:27] <CHNCguy> i agree, you can always get better at programming faster parts, but manual machining is MANUAL machining....
[12:34:12] <jthornton> well on the lathe I do 95% of the Ops using ngcgui so there is no programing at all just fill in the blanks
[12:34:28] <CHNCguy> and, you have a database of parts, if you ever need that part again, keep your notes and files, and hit start ;D
[12:34:31] <jthornton> G code generators for many tasks on the mill
[12:34:42] <Tom_itx> most of our lathe parts we'd MDI then save anyway so on that i would tend to agree
[12:34:51] <jthornton> I usually just create new files
[12:35:11] <Tom_itx> we generally would rerun all the parts we did
[12:35:53] <jthornton> I almost never make the same parts twice, the last two machines I built was the exception as they were #2 and #3
[12:35:54] <CHNCguy> If you have a tight machine, then you won't worry to much and finish pass accuracy and baby sitting the machine, unlike a manual machine with manual feeds
[12:37:29] <CHNCguy> I think it boils down to what your doing, if you a shop then cnc, if your a hobbyist then cnc/manual. Its easier to train someone how to punch in numbers from a drawing, and showing which tools for what, then training them manually IMHO
[12:38:13] <jthornton> bty have you seen ngcgui?
[12:38:19] <jthornton> btw
[12:38:21] <Tom_itx> it's a hobby for me now but i was at a 5k sq ft shop full
[12:39:20] <Tom_itx> there were 7 or 8 mills and an okuma lathe
[12:39:25] <CHNCguy> how big are the parts u wanna machine, that plays a huge factor also
[12:39:28] <Tom_itx> beside the manual stuff
[12:40:22] <CHNCguy> Large parts (feet+) I would do manually, because your only doing a few unless you have a 1mil+ budget for a cnc machine that size
[12:41:16] <CHNCguy> but it is so much easier to crash a cnc lathe then a manual one LOL
[12:41:18] <Tom_itx> some parts were 6+ ft long i would guess
[12:41:28] <Tom_itx> stuck out the side door
[12:41:45] <Tom_itx> long skinny parts we vacuum held
[12:41:49] <CHNCguy> im talking 10 ft, by 3 ftt lathe parts
[12:42:09] <Tom_itx> i know
[12:42:15] <CHNCguy> :D
[12:42:25] <Tom_itx> most of what we did was mill
[12:42:26] <CHNCguy> What machine do u have tom?
[12:42:39] <Tom_itx> now i got a little sherline i play with
[12:42:52] <CHNCguy> Ohh I just saw Johns post, have u tried NGCGUI? Back to you john :) I have not played with it yet
[12:42:58] <Tom_itx> but my bud had a bunch of tree and okuma
[12:43:39] <CHNCguy> Sherlines are fun ;D
[12:43:55] <Tom_itx> i wish i had room for a big mill
[12:43:57] <jthornton> ngcgui is a huge time saver for a lathe
[12:44:06] <Tom_itx> the principles are all the same
[12:44:08] <ju-emb> Tom: does thaty Okuma run on original controller or lcnc?
[12:44:20] <Tom_itx> all his stuff ran original controls
[12:44:28] <jthornton> you just fill in the blanks for each op then concatenate them into a full program in seconds
[12:44:30] <Tom_itx> purchased new
[12:44:53] <Tom_itx> one of his first mills is looking pretty ratty now
[12:44:55] <jthornton> also I added 8 buttons to my pyvcp panel to change tools manually for setup
[12:45:00] <Tom_itx> i was out there the other day

[13:23:21] <jthornton> you want to make a directory under /configs for the sample
[13:23:38] -!- tmcw has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[13:23:50] <jthornton> to change it to a lathe you just change the ini file
[13:24:05] <CHNCguy> like /configs/lathe/

[13:24:54] <ju-emb> that makes it easier to help you
[13:24:55] <jthornton> in the ini add the lathe entry as shown in the manual link

[13:27:13] <CHNCguy> ju-emb?
[13:27:18] <CHNCguy> Im all ears ;D
[13:27:31] <ju-emb> do you have a terminal open?

[13:29:18] <ju-emb> really?
[13:29:19] <CHNCguy> says chnc
[13:29:26] <ju-emb> ahh ok
[13:29:42] <ju-emb> so your usernanme is chnc
[13:29:46] <CHNCguy> yes
[13:30:31] <ju-emb> so all files related to lcnc are located in

[13:30:45] <CHNCguy> check :)'
[13:31:01] <ju-emb> /home/chnc/
[13:31:03] <ju-emb> is your HOME

[13:32:03] <ju-emb> is where your personal LinuxCNC files live
[13:32:58] <ju-emb> if you let the config by defaults
[13:33:00] <ju-emb> LinuxCNC will search all there
[13:33:28] <CHNCguy> ok
[13:33:34] <ju-emb> so: let me scroll back to see where you got your config

[13:37:34] <CHNCguy> k
[13:37:41] <ju-emb> wait
[13:38:24] <ju-emb> pncconf will ask you whether you'll create a new config or modify an existing one
[13:38:38] <CHNCguy> yes it did
[13:39:22] <ju-emb> so you say change an existing
[13:39:49] <ju-emb> and select one that works with the hardware you have

[13:41:08] <ju-emb> http://gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/configs/index.html
[13:41:33] <CHNCguy> yes i did
[13:41:53] <ju-emb> and where did you copy that config?
[13:42:21] <CHNCguy> to /home/chnc/linuxcnc/configs
[13:42:23] <ju-emb> in terminal type
[13:42:24] <ju-emb> cd
[13:42:29] <CHNCguy> k
[13:42:50] <ju-emb> then
[13:42:51] <CHNCguy> nothing happens
[13:42:52] <ju-emb> cd linuxcnc/configs
[13:43:05] <ju-emb> then ls
[13:44:19] <ju-emb> pastebin the result of
[13:44:21] <ju-emb> ls /home/chnc/linuxcnc/configs
[13:45:07] <CHNCguy> i just copied the files there...there in there...
[13:45:10] <CHNCguy> their*
[13:45:41] <ju-emb> ok
[13:45:43] <ju-emb> but the files shouldn't be in the config directory
[13:46:03] <ju-emb> inside the config dir create another dir
[13:46:07] <CHNCguy> well they are in a file called lathestock..../configs/lathestock
[13:46:24] <CHNCguy> i can select them from linuxcnc under lathestock --- 7i76 drop down menu
[13:46:27] <ju-emb> for example i525_sample
[13:47:09] <ju-emb> OK, but we like to get you a clean config dir
[13:48:02] <ju-emb> so pls pastebin the output of
[13:48:04] <ju-emb> ls /home/chnc/linuxcnc/configs
[13:48:05] <CHNCguy> so you want me to type in cd linuxcnc.configs ls pastebin ls home/chnc/linuxcnc/configs ?
[13:48:19] <ju-emb> no
[13:48:20] <CHNCguy> not sure what pastebin is
[13:48:31] <CHNCguy> sorry ;)
[13:48:34] <ju-emb> oops OK I see
[13:48:51] -!- kent11 has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[13:49:25] <CHNCguy> so what did you want me to do :D
[13:50:10] <ju-emb> long listings shouldn't be posted on a IRC chat
[13:50:12] <ju-emb> so you do it on a free service named pastebin for example
[13:50:16] <ju-emb> in your webbrowser go to pastebin.org
[13:51:04] <CHNCguy> i see what pastebin is....
[13:51:13] <ju-emb> the you type
[13:51:15] <ju-emb> in your terminal
[13:51:17] <CHNCguy> the machine is not hooked up to the internet
[13:51:17] <ju-emb> ls /home/chnc/linuxcnc/configs
[13:51:30] <ju-emb> and copy and paste it to the pastebin web site
[13:51:34] <CHNCguy> its sitting on a desk a couple feet away ;D
[13:51:54] <ju-emb> ahh ok
[13:52:25] <CHNCguy> ;D
[13:52:34] <ju-emb> so
[13:52:56] <ju-emb> do you still have the zip file you downloaded
[13:53:04] <ju-emb> as sample config
[13:53:07] <CHNCguy> yes
[13:53:10] <ju-emb> ok
[13:53:17] <ju-emb> type
[13:53:33] <CHNCguy> u want me to just send them to ya ?
[13:53:43] <ju-emb> no
[13:54:10] <ju-emb> type
[13:54:12] <ju-emb> cd /home/chnc/linuxcnc/configs
[13:54:44] <ju-emb> then
[13:54:46] <ju-emb> mkdir chcnc_test_config
[13:55:18] <ju-emb> then copy the zip file into that new created folder
[13:55:28] <CHNCguy> ok done
[13:55:42] <ju-emb> now unzip it inside that folder
[13:56:13] <ju-emb> now you start pncconf new
[13:57:24] <CHNCguy> k started
[13:57:42] <ju-emb> so yo say modify existing config
[13:58:07] <ju-emb> and select that folder
[13:58:21] <ju-emb> chcnc_test_config
[13:58:25] <jthornton> ju-emb, just so you know my samples are not pncconf generated
[13:58:55] <ju-emb> nop
[13:59:39] <ju-emb> ok, now I do know
[13:59:57] <CHNCguy> haha im confused... :D
[14:01:23] <ju-emb> if you start linuxcnc you can select that folder just created as machine_config
[14:01:32] <ju-emb> right?
[14:01:33] <CHNCguy> So this is where I am at....the files are in CHNC_test_config I added LATHE = 1 to the ini, and now I have a lathe screen
[14:01:46] <CHNCguy> yes I can select it
[14:02:09] <jthornton> your making progress then
[14:02:17] <ju-emb> OK, what you like to do next?
[14:03:47] <CHNCguy> :D well, I need to get the motors running, so now that I have loaded your config files JOHN, how do I edit them for pin outs and tuning and such,
[14:03:56] <CHNCguy> or is pncconf the better way to go?
[14:04:01] <CHNCguy> Remember im a newb at linux
[14:04:45] -!- jfire has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[14:05:03] <jthornton> the scale and soft limits are in the .ini file
[14:05:11] <ju-emb> best way is to learn "hal", but for first results pncconf may be easier
[14:05:26] -!- gimpspace [gimpspace!~gimps@unaffiliated/gimps] has joined #linuxcnc
[14:06:25] <ju-emb> jthornton: you guide him through the ini file?
[14:06:33] <CHNCguy> well if i start with pncconf, wont that just ignore johns files or can I edit the existing files?
[14:07:18] <jthornton> no, pncconf creates its own files, your better off learning what is in the config files
[14:07:40] <ju-emb> while hacking inside the files you get a better feeling for it
[14:07:41] <jthornton> if you have a working config you change one thing at a time
[14:07:48] <ju-emb> john is right
[14:07:48] <jthornton> then test
[14:09:09] <ju-emb> jthornton: he's in your hands now,
[14:09:11] <ju-emb> I'm going grab my coffe
[14:09:16] <CHNCguy> ok, i like working with files better you can see the hole picture, ill try both ways
[14:09:20] <CHNCguy> thats ju-emb :D
[14:09:41] -!- Valen has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[14:09:59] <jthornton> it is best to try both and learn even more
[14:11:20] <jthornton> here is some instructions for using pncconf to create a 7i76 configuration

[14:11:52] <jthornton> it is step by step

[14:12:10] <CHNCguy> thank you john, ill play with it and come back with any questions, I actuallty printed all of you instructions out LOL

[14:15:22] <ju-emb> CHNCguy: while learning that, just remember
[14:15:49] <ju-emb> each machine config has it's own dir inside the config dir
[14:15:50] <CHNCguy> ?
[14:16:30] <CHNCguy> ok
[14:16:40] <CHNCguy> U mean the step and dir?
[14:16:50] <CHNCguy> direction for motors?
[14:17:04] <ju-emb> history of linuxcnc is: there was only one ini file for each machine
[14:17:23] <ju-emb> actually machine config
[14:17:38] <ju-emb> so one .ini file for each machine config
[14:17:58] <CHNCguy> gotcha
[14:18:36] <ju-emb> that means one directory where all .ini files live was OK
[14:18:48] <ju-emb> but now, config's get more complex and can have xxxx of files all related to one machine config
[14:19:28] <ju-emb> so it's better to put all files belonging to one config in it's own directory
[14:19:38] <CHNCguy> will do
[14:19:59] <ju-emb> then you'll never have problems
[14:21:42] <CHNCguy> cool appreciate your help
[14:21:42] <ju-emb> so, have fun trying it

[18:35:38] <Connor> Looking for a Box and Pan brake.. Can't make up my mind on the size and style..
[18:35:50] <Connor> Shop is small.. so unit has to be small.
[18:36:44] <jthornton> what size metal do you want to bend
[18:37:11] <Connor> Options are 12" mini (goes in vise), 14" portable, 12" standard, 12" combo (does sheering, bending and rolling) 24" standard, and 30" combo (3-in-1 also)
[18:37:41] <jthornton> I have the 30" 3 in 1 from Griz
[18:37:52] <Connor> Just HOW big is it ?
[18:38:01] <jthornton> just depends on the thickness you want to work
[18:38:01] <Connor> compared to the 24"
[18:38:03] -!- gazprom has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[18:38:13] <Connor> Mostly going to be doing alum or sheet metal
[18:38:17] <jthornton> I'll measure it

[18:39:30] -!- thomaslindstr_m has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[18:41:27] <Connor> Cobo's look nice because the ability to sheer.. not sure how much rolling I'll do..
[18:41:42] <Connor> but the price jump from the 24" standard to the 30" combo is alot
[18:41:50] <JT-Shop> it's 3' wide 2' tall and needs about 2' of depth
[18:42:33] <Connor> Damn.. That's way to large for my little 7'x10' shop with a mill already in it.
[18:42:37] <JT-Shop> keep in mind the 3 in 1's are press brakes so no box or pan work unless you have removable press dies
[18:42:39] -!- alixaxel has quit [Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client]
[18:42:59] <JT-Shop> mine is one with removable press dies
[18:43:02] <JT-Shop> and it is very heavy
[18:43:19] <Connor> it has to be stored under my work bench. 7'x 40" or so.
[18:43:28] <Connor> yea.. looking at the grizzly ones.
[18:43:40] <JT-Shop> you ain't gonna want to move the 30" 3 in1 much
[18:43:56] <JT-Shop> it takes two people to pick it up
[18:44:06] <Connor> Yea, took big.. okay..
[18:44:14] -!- thomaslindstr_m has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[18:44:17] <JT-Shop> bbl
[18:44:23] <Connor> and the 24" is pretty big too.. but..
[18:44:43] <Connor> I just need to extend my workshop.. make it bigger.
[18:44:50] <archivist> lots of force bending that much
[18:44:52] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop don't do nuthin lightweight

[18:50:48] <archivist> if you got an old toggle press with an open front like
http://www.collection.archivist.info/archive/DJCPD/PD/2013/2013_10_11_Smart_Brown_Press_repaired/IMG_1672.JPG
[18:51:11] <archivist> you can also make the tooling for bending
[18:51:37] <archivist> all depends on the final sizes
[18:53:28] <Connor> That's getting way above what I want to do.. I just want to be able to bend alumn and sheet metal to make enclosures etc.
[18:54:26] <archivist> then you want to punch holes :)
[18:55:05] <Connor> I have chassis punches for that.. drill hole.. install it.. and cranck down.
[18:55:16] <archivist> I have always wanted a brake but never got a round tuit
[18:55:26] -!- kent1 has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[18:55:34] <Connor> or, mill it out before bending.
[18:55:43] * Tom_itx has square pegs but no round tuits
[18:56:09] <Connor> Thoughts on this little thing ?
http://www.grizzly.com/products/Portable-Benchtop-Brake-14-/T10052
[18:56:19] <Connor> it's a finger break..
[18:58:40] <archivist> looks usable for light work
[19:00:16] <Connor> Wonder how thick of alumn it could do...

[23:50:21] <Tom_itx> just waiting for some tooling
[23:50:26] <JT-Shop> cool
[23:50:36] <skunkworks> (time in the right lower)
[23:50:36] <JT-Shop> let me know how it works for you\
[23:50:58] <skunkworks> It is coming along.. Robert seems to be quite a smart cookie..
[23:51:03] <Tom_itx> i will
[23:51:13] <JT-Shop> wow
[23:51:39] <JT-Shop> are you using my cycle timer?
[23:51:56] <Tom_itx> i am as well
[23:51:57] <skunkworks> JT-Shop: yes - thank you. It works perfectly
[23:52:04] <JT-Shop> cool
[23:52:18] <Tom_itx> i modded it a bit
[23:52:19] <skunkworks> didn't have to think - copied the hal and xml bits and it just worked
[23:52:31] <Tom_itx> actually just running 2, one for overall time and one for cycle
[23:53:01] <JT-Shop> wow that is 3.75 times faster
[23:53:30] <PCW> That is really impressive
[23:53:46] <JT-Shop> talk to you guys later
[23:53:50] <Tom_itx> later jt
[23:54:06] <Tom_itx> what was the improvement due to?
[23:56:08] <skunkworks> read ahead..
[23:56:21] <skunkworks> it only works for line-line transistion so far.. but still
[23:56:34] <skunkworks> and circular blending between segmetns
[23:56:46] <Tom_itx> is that spiral line segments?
[23:56:58] <skunkworks> a good percentage of cam output is short line segments
[23:57:02] <Tom_itx> yep
[23:57:08] <Tom_itx> especially surface stuff
[23:57:28] <Tom_itx> HUGE files
[23:57:29] <skunkworks> it actually is - but the naive cam detector made the arc segments into short line segments...
[23:58:52] <skunkworks> a very large file with a G64p.005 ran 2.5 hours vs 1.5 hours.
