[00:59:39] <CaptHindsight> anyone recall the brand of mini lathe that Skunkworks was playing with a couple of months ago
[01:00:16] <CaptHindsight> I thought it was larger than a Sherline but maybe I'm wrong

[01:01:50] <andypugh> I think they were the Compact5 PC, without the built-in controller
[01:02:06] <CaptHindsight> good size to use for a cnc lens polisher/grinder

[01:46:28] <atom1> i noticed that spiral test has no tool associated with it
[01:46:38] <andypugh> SIM doesn't compile any hardware drivers, RIP is a self-contained installation in a directory, rather than one installed in /usr/bin

[02:03:04] <atom1> andypugh, the idea was to be able to do hardware tests on the new TP code

[02:03:34] <CaptHindsight> looks like it won't be quite as cold as expected, only -20F

[02:36:09] <skunkworks> (this is pretty new code - he has re-writen it in just a few months)
[02:36:10] <atom1> running gcode it does a regular toolchange and the dialog box comes up but in the MDI window nothing happens
[02:36:37] <atom1> check halconfig and no activity there either
[02:36:52] <skunkworks> might want to explain it on the devel list - circular blend thread
[02:37:26] <atom1> i don't think i've ever been on the list :)
[02:37:39] <skunkworks> does it work in 'normal' master?
[02:37:50] <atom1> haven't tried that
[02:37:59] <atom1> how would i recompile for that?
[02:38:43] <skunkworks> I would just pull master into a new directory and build.
[02:38:49] <atom1> ok
[02:39:07] <skunkworks> then you can switch between the two - that is what I do to compare the performace between the two

[02:49:35] <tjtr33> i'm cranking the car over now to make sure
[02:49:38] <CaptHindsight> takes me maybe 3 hours to restore my Linux systems, 3-5 days for win7
[02:49:52] <jdh> 64F here
[02:50:05] <CaptHindsight> <-- parks indoors
[02:50:11] <skunkworks> -6F at the moment..
[02:50:18] <CaptHindsight> 58F in the shop
[02:50:29] <jdh> geez... people live like that?

[02:51:35] <CaptHindsight> 53F in Nanjing but I'm stuck here
[02:51:48] <tjtr33> i got email from buddy in Kph Phanagn today, he's coming back to skokie, i told him dont! kick a cop or something, anything but dont come now.
[02:51:55] <tjtr33> Koh
[02:52:03] <somenewguy_chips> CaptHindsight: souns about right
[02:52:36] <somenewguy_chips> I remember in like 05 or so when linux officially became the eaieer install than windows for a non-technical person...
[02:52:41] <somenewguy_chips> and the gap has only gorwn
[02:52:44] <somenewguy_chips> grown
[02:53:18] <somenewguy_chips> skunkworks: I think its about time for you to buy a lottery ticket
[02:53:29] <ChuangTzu> i bike to work
[02:53:39] <ChuangTzu> going in tomorrow. fuck what they say
[02:53:40] <CaptHindsight> how far?
[02:53:44] <ChuangTzu> 7 mi each way
[02:53:46] <somenewguy_chips> bike commute for ever!
[02:53:47] <tjtr33> i thought you were in Chi
[02:53:49] <ChuangTzu> i am
[02:54:01] <CaptHindsight> ^^ south sider
[02:54:05] <ChuangTzu> yup
[02:54:17] <tjtr33> wear a mask so you dont freeze your lungs
[02:54:31] <ChuangTzu> it's not even going to be that cold. i don't know why everyone is freaking out
[02:54:39] <somenewguy_chips> how cold?
[02:54:42] <ChuangTzu> -10f
[02:54:47] <somenewguy_chips> hahah
[02:54:53] <CaptHindsight> I'm just tired of cold and snow already is all
[02:55:03] <CaptHindsight> yeah -20F, been there
[02:55:04] <tjtr33> not as cold as predicted but not healthy fer sure
[02:55:13] <somenewguy_chips> I'm tired of the damn snow getting into the shop...
[02:55:18] <ChuangTzu> yeah, it's a pain
[02:55:19] <somenewguy_chips> freaking water damage
[02:55:30] <somenewguy_chips> previous owners were hippies and useless I guess
[02:55:39] <ChuangTzu> but at least when it's -10, even the salt water freezes so i don't have to deal with all the muck on my bike
[02:55:47] <ChuangTzu> the muck is the worst
[02:55:50] <somenewguy_chips> or squirrels, I have not ruled out squirrels at this point
[02:55:54] <somenewguy_chips> salt muck
[02:55:56] <CaptHindsight> back in the 80's this would be about the time my trans or clutch would need to replaced in the snow
[02:56:01] <ChuangTzu> heh
[02:56:07] <somenewguy_chips> I thought my bike was covered in snow and ice
[02:56:10] <tjtr33> haha busting ice-cicles off gutter, filling them with salt & laying out heater cables today
[02:56:21] <somenewguy_chips> then when my hands went all dreid out slug on me, I realized what I was cleaning up...
[02:56:49] <ChuangTzu> i wish they'd stop salting
[02:56:53] <ChuangTzu> and use sand/gravel instead
[02:57:07] <CaptHindsight> won't happen here
[02:57:13] <tjtr33> yeh, better idea, just hard to clean up
[02:57:21] <ChuangTzu> they have trucks that suck it up
[02:57:24] <ChuangTzu> basically street cleaners
[02:57:30] <ChuangTzu> so you can reuse like 90% of it
[02:57:35] <CaptHindsight> I think they use sand up in Milwaukee
[02:57:42] <tjtr33> elgin street sweepersw ( yay elgin illinois :)
[02:57:58] * ChuangTzu spent 3 winters in finland
[02:58:22] <CaptHindsight> so you're no stranger to cold
[02:58:38] <tjtr33> stranger to the sun tho
[02:58:48] <ChuangTzu> depends on the time of year
[02:58:59] <ChuangTzu> land of the midnight sun in the summer
[02:59:18] <ChuangTzu> i forgot to mention that i was there for 3 summers too
[02:59:26] <CaptHindsight> mosquito free?
[02:59:27] <ChuangTzu> i think andypugh goes there every winter too
[02:59:33] <ChuangTzu> up in lapland
[02:59:50] <ChuangTzu> yeah, mosquitos stopped biting me sometime when i lived in florida
[02:59:52] <CaptHindsight> he said Minnesota or canada this year
[03:00:51] <CaptHindsight> if i wasn't so busy I'd go to CES this week

[03:13:21] <atom1> skunkworks, master does the same thing
[03:13:40] <CaptHindsight> do people buy oscilloscopes and not know how to fix them? I was surprised by how many questions are on the forums about scope issues
[03:16:02] <ChuangTzu> hmm, i wish i had a scopt
[03:16:11] <atom1> however master did have the modified hal_manualtoolchange in it
[03:16:33] <skunkworks> atom1: ah
[03:16:50] <atom1> i wonder if his ver overwrote that
[03:17:29] <skunkworks> I would guess it is a change in master that doesn't work the same as 2.5 or whatever you run normally
[03:18:19] <atom1> odd it works ok running gcode
[03:19:02] <skunkworks> you will have to explain the issue to someone in the know..
[03:19:17] <atom1> where would i do that?
[03:19:58] <skunkworks> either the mailing list, post a bug on source forge or get on linuxcnc-devel and ask.. (although 1 or 2 is proably the best)
[03:20:01] <atom1> -devel?
[03:20:12] <skunkworks> give it a shot

[12:28:05] <Tom_itx> make sure your field voltage isn't more than the mpg will be happy with
[12:28:55] <R2E4> the docs says you can use it on pins 16, 17,18 and 19, but there is no option in pncconf there, just the encoder slots you can select hand wheel
[12:28:57] <jthornton> I have a 7i77, let me look that up for you in the manual
[12:28:58] <Tom_itx> read up on it grasshopper
[12:29:24] <R2E4> I have been reading for weeks, and I don't think its going to work out!!!
[12:29:32] <jthornton> pncconf can not do it all, sometimes you have to venture out on your own
[12:29:46] <Tom_itx> just when you start to think that, it will all fall together
[12:30:08] <Tom_itx> yeah jump off the deep end and open up the config files yourself
[12:30:19] <R2E4> I wanted to get a head start on it, thought hooking up an mpg was a start, but apparantly not. I dont want to start with the servo amps....
[12:30:32] <Tom_itx> good idea
[12:30:36] <Tom_itx> start with estop
[12:30:43] <Tom_itx> then maybe the mpg
[12:30:51] <Tom_itx> then work to the limit switches
[12:30:54] <Tom_itx> then maybe the amps
[12:30:59] <jthornton> start with a blank config and go from there
[12:31:42] <Tom_itx> may the force be with you
[12:31:46] <R2E4> I started with pncconf with adding the pwm for axis and encoders. I can start linuxcnc with it. Can I start from there?
[12:32:32] <jthornton> you can drop pncconf any time you like if that is what you mean
[12:32:33] <Tom_itx> long as it matches the boards you have
[12:32:37] <R2E4> Listen, maybe your not hearing me...... I am not Frodo's brother, I dont have the ring, so starting with a blank config is just asking for Orc visitors.
[12:33:06] <R2E4> haha
[12:33:22] <Tom_itx> last drop in the cup is gone... i'm out
[12:33:23] <jthornton> but you will know what you have after
[12:34:21] <R2E4> So I have used pncconf for motors and encoders so I will start looking at that and then try for the e-stop, then mpg with manually configging the hal.
[12:35:52] <R2E4> Let me look at your docs on the 5i25 and 7i77 configs and see if mine are similar
[12:36:19] <jthornton> what mode did pnconf leave you in for the 7i77
[12:36:21] <jthornton> ?
[12:36:35] <R2E4> let me check
[12:38:09] <jthornton> what does the loadrt hm2_pci config= line have on it in your .hal file?
[12:42:13] <R2E4> loadrt hm2_pci config=" num_encoders=6 num_pwmgens=0 num_3pwmgens=0 num_stepgens=0 sserial_port_0=000xxxxx "
[12:43:03] <jthornton> ok, that is mode 0 change it to sserial_port_0=300xxx" for mode 3 which enables the mpg inputs

[16:58:58] <JT-Shop> that's where I have the MPG until I move the wires to 16,17 and change the code for enc0
[17:04:07] * JT-Shop fires up the plasma table...
[17:06:41] <R2E4> you use up 2 inputs, but if I put it in the encoder 6 slot like you have it, You dont lose inputs. I just dont know if my mog will work in encoder 6
[17:07:29] <R2E4> Just dont know if my mpg will work there.
[17:08:26] <JT-Shop> I have a problem using the encoder input with counts getting lost
[17:08:56] <JT-Shop> it's better to use 2 inputs, you have a ton of them
[17:09:01] -!- GuShH_ [GuShH_!GuShH_Lap@unaffiliated/gushh] has joined #linuxcnc
[17:11:04] <pcw_home> The reason to use the MPG inputs is that they
[17:11:06] <pcw_home> support 1X quadrature mode, the normal encoder inputs do not
[17:11:43] <pcw_home> so if you have a standard 100 PPT MPG, the MPG inputs are better
[17:12:04] <R2E4> ok, pins 16 and 17 it is then.
[17:12:42] -!- mhaberler has quit [Quit: mhaberler]
[17:13:34] <pcw_home> remember that the 5V MPG power needs to have a common gnd with the field power
[17:14:02] * JT-Shop takes notes
[17:14:12] <R2E4> It will be powered with the field power 12vdc.
[17:14:29] <pcw_home> OK
[17:15:05] <R2E4> I have a 5-12v mpg,
http://irmtl.com/LinuxCNC/VM40/MPG/mpg.jpg http://irmtl.com/LinuxCNC/VM40/MPG/mpg1.JPG
[17:17:05] <pcw_home> as long as the outputs swing near ground that should be fine at 12V
[17:17:27] <pcw_home> (the threshold is set to 2.5V for MPG inputs)
[17:18:01] <R2E4> Then I'll power it with 5v to be sure no problems.
[17:18:59] <R2E4> nad tie the gnds together....:-)
[17:20:23] <pcw_home> Either way should be OK

[18:59:42] <pcw_home> that example should be fine with some substitutions and deletions
[19:06:09] <Tom_itx> yeah the low pass works great for mpg
[19:06:58] <R2E4> it doesnt like this => setp encoder.0.x4-mode 0
[19:07:12] -!- patricka_ has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[19:08:19] <pcw_home> sure, theres no encoder comp to setp
[19:09:27] <R2E4> yeah, deleted it and it found the other encoder sigs I didnt know what to do with.
[19:09:57] <Tom_itx> R2E4 are you writing a book as you go?
[19:09:59] <pcw_home> I would always start by launching linuxcnc
[19:10:00] <Tom_itx> book of notes
[19:10:01] <pcw_home> and then
[19:10:02] <pcw_home> halcmd show all > halobjects
[19:10:39] <pcw_home> and use halobject as a list of available pins,parameters etc
[19:11:35] <pcw_home> the encoder on the 7I77 field I/O has _no_ pins other than the count
[19:12:29] <pcw_home> so the mpg setup is simplified relative to the example
[19:12:32] <R2E4> ok
[19:13:11] <pcw_home> I can't imagine typing in or guessing long hal names

[20:35:39] <WalterN> with a two wheel one
[20:36:16] <einar_> You do! That's why a small lathe will have a problem. With 2 wheels the forces are between them and not on the x-slide.
[20:36:41] <WalterN> oh, you are talking about the kind that are not the bump kind
[20:36:52] <WalterN> the bump kind can be two wheel

[20:40:00] <WalterN> I've used that kind before
[20:40:09] <WalterN> and the bump style two wheel ones
[20:40:10] <einar_> This is a typical DIY tool.
[20:40:21] <WalterN> but never a single wheel one
[20:41:03] <einar_> I use a single wheel on my big lathe, and really have to force it.
[20:42:02] <WalterN> this lathe is rated at... 30hp I think?

[21:11:08] <R2E4> I can see the inputs changing, but how do i check if the output is being set to what is selectedd?

[21:13:08] <JT-Shop> put the output in the watch window
[21:13:36] <R2E4> output in the watch window.....hmmm
[21:13:55] <einar_> This is a Universal Stepper Controller.

[21:14:40] <einar_> Strangely enough it uses a PID even though it's a stepper system w.o. encoders.
[21:15:15] <PCW> the step generator is a velocity mode servo
[21:15:46] <einar_> I believe what the board does is just to copy the step counter as the encoder input.
[21:16:01] <PCW> the PID corrects for direction change time, timebase errors, etc
[21:17:14] <PCW> one thing I have noticed is that you want FF2 = period (so 0.001 at 1 KHz)
[21:21:07] <einar_> So when CYCLE_TIME = 0.010 I want FF2 the same? Is 0.010 a good choice?

[21:25:04] <R2E4> What output you talking about?>
[21:25:34] <R2E4> I really didnt want to ask, but i have been trying to figure that one out, the enco increments allways the same.

[21:43:26] <einar_> I don't understand: Halscope shows it takes >500ms to get from 0 to 2000PPS (max)
[21:44:48] -!- PCW has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[21:44:51] <einar_> My Tektronics says it takes 200ms. Which is about the same as the controller I'm throwing out, so should be OK for the motors & mechanics.

[21:47:58] <tjtr33> einar_, halscope works in multiples of the thread period. so its more accurate if the measurements are using 2x thread period ( sampling limitation )
[21:48:17] <PCW> einar_ no, servo thread period
[21:48:32] <PCW> (so 0.001 at 1 KHz)
[21:48:55] <tjtr33> i used to go nuts trying to measure 10uS pulses with hal. 1) i couldnt generate them with my thread 2) icouldnt measure them to 1 unit of thread period accuractely
[21:51:34] <einar_> Hmm. I think I'll dig up a frequency to voltage converter and hook up between Step out and Tek. It's quite fiddly to zoom/pan to find the shortest pulses where to place a cursor.

[22:25:41] <andypugh> ROFL. (Well, smued giggling anyway) I decided I wasn't actually comfortable with sudo not asking me for a password when I used sudo, so (looking on the internet blindly) I dud sudo visudo, and commented out the %sudo ALL... line.
[22:26:24] <andypugh> And now there are no accounts in the sudoers file to change it back :-)
[22:27:04] <andypugh> (smued = amused) Not sure how I got that that wrong.

[23:31:03] <WalterN> what does TPI mean when buying a knurling tool?
[23:31:06] <JT-Shop> very productive day here, got lots of the garage cleaned up and starting fabricating my hydraulic tank for my splitter.
http://gnipsel.com/images/splitter/
[23:31:23] <WalterN> I want to match an existing knurl
[23:32:17] <andypugh> I would guess, turns per inch
[23:32:49] <andypugh> Bit if it is axiallly or circumfrentially I have no idea
[23:33:26] <WalterN> I have no idea
[23:33:36] <Tom_itx> or 'thread' per inch
[23:33:50] <WalterN> teeth per inch?
[23:33:58] <Tom_itx> basically the same thing
[23:34:17] <WalterN> http://www.innovativetoolsales.com/Dorian%20Circular%20Knurling%20Info.pdf
[23:35:03] <WalterN> ok, so I need a 14 tool
[23:37:51] <WalterN> its measured radially... (assuming round part)
