[01:24:55] <peepsalot> archivist, you around? i was told you know quite a bit about generating involute gear profiles?

[01:25:42] <archivist> peepsalot, I generate the profile, why
[01:26:52] <peepsalot> i've read a few descriptions of the geometry of involute spur gears, but only for external gears, i'm wondering how it applies to internal gears, and also to putting teeth along more arbitrary curves (bezier for ex)
[01:27:32] <archivist> for internal you use a shaper to generate
[01:28:38] <peepsalot> shaper?

[01:31:48] <peepsalot> i want to make a javascript/web based design app, to output paths for laser cutting(or other 2d machinig: waterjet/plasma/edm)

[01:35:15] <archivist> hmm a reading list http://www.collection.archivist.info/searchv13.php?searchstr=621.833
[01:35:31] Groguard is now known as zz_Groguard
[01:42:29] <archivist> you only need learn the involute curve for that, that follows the curve, not generate the curve by the action of generation as performed in a machine
[01:43:45] <archivist> http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Involute.html
[01:44:26] -!- PetefromTn_Andro has quit [Quit: Bye]
[01:48:58] <peepsalot> well i think i understand the use of the involute curve for external gears, but i can't conceptualize that taut string analogy for an internal gear
[01:50:33] -!- Connor_iPad [Connor_iPad!~connor@75.76.30.113] has joined #linuxcnc
[01:52:24] <archivist> think of a gear that is one to one but one is internal one external, a spline coupling but with involute for teeth,...the internal is the same
[01:53:16] <archivist> they do actually make involute splines by the way
[01:54:29] <peepsalot> hrm, ok
[01:57:39] <peepsalot> so i'm thinking for an arbitary curve, then generate an involute based on just the radius of curvature at each point along it, so i could make all kinds of weird shapes like the three lobed thing in this pic for example: http://www.samstoybox.com/toypics/SpirographBox86.jpg
[01:58:46] <peepsalot> but besides calculating the involute it seems there is a lot more to consider to avoid interference?
[02:02:38] <archivist> the contact remains correct for a pair of gears when you increase the centre distance, one of the strange parts of the curve, so a small undercut % gives clearance at some nominal distance
[02:05:19] <peepsalot> archivist, ok. does it make sense what i said about attempting this on an arbitrary curve?
[02:08:31] <archivist> yup, http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLihfuOMgTWQ60xbG50GXR4cT9igSgiCb-
[02:11:21] <Tom_itx> any practical applicatons for those?
[02:12:25] <archivist> variable speed motion
[02:12:52] <archivist> or toys like spirograph

[02:53:46] <Connor_iPad> tjtr33: Huh?
[02:59:16] <R2E4_> Hi guys
[02:59:59] <R2E4_> I have on my Z a brake that stops the Z motorfrom turning when power is off. It holds the Z axis where it is.
[03:00:36] <tjtr33> a fusee was done linuxcnc by John Kasunich
[03:00:54] <tjtr33> he wrote Hal
[03:02:09] <R2E4_> In the schematics, When power is applied to the machine it closes one of two relay contacts in series. The second relay contact the old control controlled it. When the two relays are energized, it sends 90vdc to the brake. I would imagine when the Z axis drive gets enabled it closes the second relaywhich removes the Z brake\
[03:03:41] <R2E4_> Myt question is, does it make sense to put it in a ladder so that when the machines-is-on start a timer for a few seconds then energize the second relay so it will give a few seconds after drive is enabled so the Z wont drop if they are enabled at the same time.
[03:04:01] <R2E4_> Does that make sense?
[03:04:03] <tjtr33> usually brake are off when they get powered ( a safety method, if you loose power, brake is on )
[03:04:44] <R2E4_> yes, it removes the brake upon powerup and control says to. Thats the way it worked on the old system.
[03:04:53] <tjtr33> so i dont hink "When the two relays are energized, it sends 90vdc to the brake" is true
[03:04:56] <R2E4_> two inputs.
[03:05:09] <tjtr33> could be
[03:05:34] <R2E4_> Thats the way it is in the schematics.
[03:05:56] <R2E4_> The two contacts are in series.
[03:05:58] <XXCoder1> someone made cnc out of lego
[03:06:08] <XXCoder1> foam cutter but still
[03:06:27] <R2E4_> So when power is removed, the relay falls out applying the brake.
[03:06:40] <R2E4_> Well, thats how I am reading it.
[03:06:44] <tjtr33> R2E4, then it makes sense ( had to re-read it withseries in mind )
[03:08:20] <XXCoder1> whats typical router bit diameter?
[03:09:35] <tjtr33> R2E4, making timers is not direct, can you put a lever/button switch on the brake that says 'i really am on, i really am off' ?
[03:10:08] <tjtr33> its like a piston with travel
[03:10:20] <R2E4_> The brake is in the motor
[03:10:37] <tjtr33> yah
[03:10:39] <R2E4_> I can have a contact when I send it 90 volts

[03:14:48] <tjtr33> 2 series contacts
[03:15:12] <tjtr33> jeez 35%
[03:15:45] <R2E4_> Having trouble my web server connections.
[03:15:54] <R2E4_> Centos...... jeez!\
[03:16:10] <R2E4_> no load, probably network supplier
[03:16:26] <tjtr33> im using wget to avid http-ing it
[03:17:49] <tjtr33> jst had multi hour talk to Taiwan and Australia tryng to resolve some specs, went from video conference down to chat line, everyone was dropping out
[03:18:25] <R2E4_> I have to change dists, not happy with centos. Their rsync is buggy
[03:18:51] <tjtr33> running linuxcnc on cnetos?
[03:18:57] <tjtr33> centos
[03:19:01] <R2E4_> nop
[03:19:06] <R2E4_> No!!!
[03:19:15] <R2E4_> Thats m,y web server at work
[03:20:04] <tjtr33> ok got pdf... p41...
[03:20:25] <R2E4_> I have just the Z axis, spindle and toolchanger to work out. Everything else is working, including 20 button contro lpanel and mpg.
[03:21:54] <R2E4_> p47 of pdf document # 41
[03:22:33] <R2E4_> 1A and 2A is 100vac

[03:24:08] <tjtr33> im there
[03:24:53] -!- terabyte- has quit [Quit: terabyte-]
[03:24:59] <R2E4_> There cutting both legs of the 90vdc
[03:25:05] <R2E4_> IS that neccesary?
[03:25:06] <tjtr33> morns,drawing a box around an idea looks like damn wires
[03:25:32] <XXCoder1> hm exported toolpath from cambam to ncsim
[03:25:38] <R2E4_> yeah.... I hate that, this manual is full of that.
[03:25:42] <XXCoder1> it dont look close to what cambam shows
[03:26:05] <XXCoder1> its supposed to be smiley but in ncsim it looks like abstract art
[03:26:12] <R2E4_> XXCoder1: did you select the emc2 post processor?
[03:26:20] <XXCoder1> lemme look for that
[03:26:38] <XXCoder1> in ncsim?
[03:26:47] <R2E4_> Cam p[rogram
[03:27:10] <R2E4_> IT has to create the gcode according to what machine you are going to run it on.
[03:27:34] <R2E4_> oh, ncsim, I thought you were opening it in linuxcnc
[03:27:37] <XXCoder1> ahh hmm cambam dont seem to give me choice maybe its in setting
[03:28:37] <XXCoder1> I dont use linux. in least til I got actual cnc lol just learning stuff about software see if I can hack it before I lay down any cash heh
[03:28:51] <XXCoder1> cambam is fun
[03:29:55] <R2E4_> cambam doesnt have p[ost for emc2 or linuxcnc?
[03:30:17] <XXCoder1> when I savetoolpath it just saves file
[03:30:17] <CaptHindsight> tjtr33: http://imagebin.org/299769 http://imagebin.org/299770 http://imagebin.org/299771 Keiling router, no limit switches, "red oxide" treated fasteners, Y hard stop is the wiring, no anodize, etc etc
[03:30:20] <XXCoder1> dont see any option
[03:30:36] <zeeshan> http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p252/turbozee84/86307D91-3469-4E08-85B7-26471F0058BB_zpsprgmamcc.jpg
[03:30:43] <zeeshan> whoever suggested the vertical power bar idea
[03:30:44] <zeeshan> thank u
[03:30:48] <zeeshan> its much better now
[03:30:59] <XXCoder1> youre welcome. nah not me heh
[03:31:07] <zeeshan> i thought it was you
[03:31:20] <zeeshan> now i can mount a shelf where the powerbar used to be
[03:31:34] <XXCoder1> my suggestion was flip dust protect with foam for wire area, and lowered bar
[03:31:38] <R2E4_> zeeshan: no problem, its a public service and I'm gladto help.... lol
[03:31:42] <zeeshan> hahah
[03:32:12] <zeeshan> my garage is so dusty
[03:32:16] <zeeshan> i need to dust it
[03:32:21] <tjtr33> R2E4, i see ac rail 1A thru fuse F1 becoming signal 1A0 to contact DR-2 becoming signal A101 to Zbrake coil BRKZ to ac rail 2A. DR2 is on p53 "Standby Servo-On"
[03:32:43] <XXCoder1> zee theres design that uses big ass filter to really lower dust level
[03:33:11] <R2E4_> Thats for the dynamic braking.
[03:33:13] <XXCoder1> it uses air circution system filter, expensive type thats 3-5 inches deep and some ok fan
[03:33:23] <XXCoder1> lowers dust level good
[03:33:41] <R2E4_> 1A0 inp[ut into SEC1(bridge rect)
[03:33:46] <XXCoder1> zeeshan: https://woodgears.ca/dust/air_cleaner.html
[03:35:27] <tjtr33> CaptHindsight, looks ok, maybe 10"x18" table (not very flat) what would you use it for? not DLP worthy
[03:35:49] <R2E4_> AB and DR3 the brake is ZBR
[03:35:59] <zeeshan> i dont do wood work much
[03:36:04] <zeeshan> its mostly metal dust ;p
[03:36:18] <XXCoder1> yeah it would only filter out fine dust
[03:36:22] <R2E4_> zeeshan: nice sandblaster
[03:36:33] <zeeshan> R2E4: princess auto special
[03:36:35] <zeeshan> lol
[03:36:47] <zeeshan> it leaked dust even with a dust collector on it
[03:36:54] <XXCoder1> new position or strip is nice
[03:37:08] <zeeshan> so instead of removing the metal pieces and caulking the joints
[03:37:13] <zeeshan> i just stuck aluminum foil tape on it
[03:37:13] <tjtr33> R2E4, ok the ac feeds bridge, and contacts AB and DR3 are rest of circuit
[03:37:15] <zeeshan> doesnt leak anymore
[03:37:26] <R2E4_> cost?
[03:37:32] <zeeshan> for the blaster?
[03:37:46] <R2E4_> tjtr33: yeah
[03:37:53] <XXCoder1> heh we got lucky, we have sandblaster we got basically for free. rather large one
[03:38:12] <zeeshan> R2E4: go get it!
[03:38:12] <XXCoder1> just need few new parts, its top cover is all kinds of fucked
[03:38:13] <zeeshan> its on sale
[03:38:14] <tjtr33> R2E4, but i dont see any feedback showing brake actually energized or de-energized ( actually moved )
[03:38:14] <zeeshan> http://www.princessauto.com/pal/en/Abrasive-Blasters/Powerfist-Floor-Model-Abrasive-Blasting-Cabinet/8046492.p
[03:38:19] <R2E4_> You see the AB coil; on that page. 1A and 2A is 100vac. DR3 is from the control
[03:38:24] <zeeshan> you have to 2 modifications for it to work right
[03:38:47] <R2E4_> There is no mechanical indication.
[03:38:53] <R2E4_> I dont think.
[03:39:06] <zeeshan> XXCoder1: i hate how sand blasters take so much room ;p
[03:39:24] <XXCoder1> yeah air pressure tank, the box, vacum
[03:39:40] <CaptHindsight> tjtr33: going to rework it and true it all up, it's good enough for stepper and ballscrew 0.002" repeatability and micro-nozzle deposition
[03:40:26] <CaptHindsight> tjtr33: but that's all you get for the $700 base price from Keiling, they don't even clean the parts before assembly
[03:40:33] <R2E4_> on page 55 of pdf document page 49 shows the DR3 bneing energized by the control.
[03:40:38] <zeeshan> XXCoder1: i didnt have my sand blaster groundfed
[03:40:39] <tjtr33> DR3 = "Z Brake Off" control line. I only suggested a positive indication for changing control over to linuxcnc. but my way requires changing ladder logic
[03:40:45] <zeeshan> man i got shocked so bad =D
[03:40:47] <zeeshan> make sure its grounded|!
[03:40:51] <XXCoder1> lol
[03:40:55] -!- qingpei has quit [Quit: qingpei]
[03:40:59] <XXCoder1> ill keep that in mind
[03:40:59] <R2E4_> I can do ladder logic.
[03:41:03] <zeeshan> bloody moving dust makes static charge like crazy
[03:41:31] <tjtr33> CaptHindsight, yeah, my Sable 2014 was dead clean & square from Taiwan, black anodized, very heavy for same size. pleased
[03:41:45] <R2E4_> IS it worth to take the motor apart and install a mechanical indication that the brake is off?
[03:42:10] <zeeshan> i'd thinkso
[03:42:12] <zeeshan> :p
[03:42:15] <tjtr33> R2E4, i didnt say to remove ladder logic, but a positive indication would be an extra item
[03:42:26] <CaptHindsight> tjtr33: http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/T-slot-cast-iron-floor-plate_128754238.html ever see these imported here? they would be nice starts for DIY builds
[03:42:45] <tjtr33> the worth is up to you. right now sending the signal ASSUMEs the action has occured
[03:43:45] <R2E4_> I am having many mechanical guys telling me the Z wont drop that the threads on the ballscrew would hold it. IS that true?
[03:43:48] <R2E4_> Your opinion?
[03:43:55] <tjtr33> CaptHindsight, yes, a cast iron bed would be nice, you cound send it out and get it ground, then jackscrew it to wright it
[03:44:05] <Connor_iPad> Aren't most breaks controlled by the servo driver?
[03:44:57] <tjtr33> R2E4, depends, but in my experience, one twist on that screw and it'll run away if it has any mass. ask Fenn, he and I had the Mazak do it.
[03:45:14] <R2E4_> ok.
[03:45:15] <tjtr33> brakes controlled by estop
[03:45:21] <R2E4_> IT is huge the Z on this thing.
[03:46:02] <tjtr33> heh i grabbed a bar and stopped it, pulled off my leather bealt and lashed it uo while Fenn got a wood block under it
[03:46:06] <R2E4_> or machine-is-on?
[03:46:40] <R2E4_> when machine-is-on = true remove brake.
[03:47:17] <XXCoder1> went for cutviewer, its processing file properly
[03:47:19] <tjtr33> the relaese-brake stae may be handled that way, the stop-everybody-right-now may be estaop
[03:47:20] <R2E4_> I do have a ready out of the drive that I can use also.
[03:47:24] <CaptHindsight> you want a brake on the Z with a ballscrew, if it doesn't the screw is bad
[03:48:05] -!- dhoovie|2 has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[03:48:16] <R2E4_> This Z has a 1.75 inch ballscrew
[03:48:58] <tjtr33> its the pitch.. high pitchis easy runaway, 1mm pitch ... you got a chance it wont always be ready to kill you
[03:49:44] <tjtr33> typical 5mm pitch, is deadly w no brake and heavy spindle
[03:50:17] <CaptHindsight> why would you not want a brake? save money?
[03:50:23] <R2E4_> If I use machine-is-on, then when estop is tripped, machine-is-on is false.
[03:50:47] <tjtr33> im off to dinner, l8r!
[03:51:01] <R2E4_> IT has a brake. Just trying to figure the logic.
[03:52:00] <R2E4_> The old control I ripped out controlled the Z brake.
[03:52:03] <tjtr33> CaptHindsight, that frkn table is Mumbai... no way I'd buy Indian stuff, you think China is hard to get good parts!

[04:17:30] <Connor_iPad> Yea. Itself.
[04:17:48] <XXCoder1> thats good
[04:18:14] <XXCoder1> cutviewer don't seem to read nc files from cambam correctly
[04:18:32] <XXCoder1> better than ncsim though lol
[04:26:12] <R2E4_> I cant use machine-is-on....
[04:27:48] <Connor_iPad> Why?
[04:32:47] <R2E4_> IF I use ladder logic I guess I can. When Machine-is-on and drive enabled timer 3 seconds then thurn brake off.
[04:33:15] <R2E4_> hit estop, machine is on = false brake goes on.
[04:34:06] <R2E4_> IS it sufficient to use classic ladder for that?
[04:35:44] <tjtr33> CaptHindsight, hey that a great floor! i'm remodelling the kitchen and i bet nobody hast a cast iron tslotted floor :) and its local

[14:49:01] <pcw_home> I dont think I have ever seen a controller that has differential _outputs_

[14:49:04] <pcw_home> (only if there is a severe ground loop issue)
[14:51:35] <skunkworks> pcw_home, can I quote you?
[14:52:01] <archivist> I just had a google and found images of what my 5 axis mill started out as http://www.collection.archivist.info/archive/mirror/citizen_cincom_PT-120/
[14:52:08] <skunkworks> (what you just said?)
[14:52:44] <skunkworks> archivist, cool!
[14:53:24] <skunkworks> your google search brought back your own site?
[14:53:26] <archivist> I just found the model number on the microscope part when digging under a bench
[14:53:38] <archivist> no I stole the images :)

[14:57:38] <pcw_home> Sure but I would add that good analog drives have differential inputs
[14:57:39] <pcw_home> and this is what provides common mode rejection.

[15:06:53] <Swapper_> anyone using touchprobe here ? need to know a bit if its possible to calibrate the probe in software.
[15:07:21] <jdh> in what sense?
[15:08:23] <Swapper_> a touchprobe will have runout when mounted, but normaly on comercial systems you calibrate the probe in software.
[15:09:18] <Swapper_> renishaw have calibration rutines for comercial cnc controlls, i whant to do the same in linuxcnc
[15:10:00] <jdh> it spins the probe?
[15:10:36] <Swapper_> no it will not, its static
[15:10:44] <cradek> I have a precision bore (for calibrating a bore gauge) and I use that for probe centering
[15:10:52] <Swapper_> but the probe tip will not be axactly centric
[15:10:54] <cradek> probe it, turn the spindle 180 degrees, probe it again
[15:11:06] <cradek> then adjust the probe tip so the match
[15:11:09] <cradek> so they
[15:11:11] <jdh> without spinning the probe, seems like a chicken/egg thing
[15:11:27] <cradek> yes surely you have to rotate the spindle
[15:11:45] <skunkworks> heh - I calibrated our probe by boring a hole.. the probing..
[15:11:58] <skunkworks> *then
[15:11:59] <Swapper_> in comercial models you make a "rough" adjustment with screws then the last part is done in software
[15:12:01] <cradek> or if your machine is nice and repeatable, use an indicator to center over the bore, then probe it
[15:12:24] <cradek> Swapper_: you could measure and store offsets, and apply them to your proble results, but that's something you'll have to do yourself in gcode
[15:12:29] <cradek> probe results
[15:12:31] <cradek> can't type today
[15:12:50] <Swapper_> cradek: that would probably be OK
[15:13:01] <cradek> my renishaw has really good adjustment screws and I had no trouble getting it centered to my satisfaction
[15:13:04] <Swapper_> but where to start :)
[15:13:22] <cradek> start by adjusting the screws using one of the obvious techniques
[15:13:36] <cradek> then you might find it's good enough, and you're done!
[15:13:39] <Swapper_> i only have the probe part of a renishaw probe (no holder) so if i make one i guess it will not be a s good
[15:14:15] <jdh> if you can't afford a real probe, how accurate do you need really need to be.
[15:14:16] <cradek> renishaw will sell them to you
[15:14:21] <Swapper_> have any good design on a runout adjustable holder ?
[15:14:23] <cradek> I made the holder for mine
[15:14:35] <Swapper_> any pics?
[15:14:43] <cradek> yes use renishaw's design. they even have prints for you to follow
[15:14:54] <Swapper_> need inspiration, cant buy the holder since it will cost more then the whole mill :)
[15:15:05] <Swapper_> and the probe
[15:15:43] <Swapper_> on there hompage ?
[15:16:02] <Swapper_> the ones i found where mostly manuals and rough outlines.

[15:17:27] <cradek> which probe and how much of it do you have?
[15:18:25] <Swapper_> its a LP2
[15:18:31] <Swapper_> you mean how much it cost?
[15:18:53] <Swapper_> oh its the prob head and a FS1
[15:18:58] <Swapper_> now i got it
[15:19:11] <Swapper_> FS1 cover allready mounted
[15:19:49] <Swapper_> simplest would be to stick it in a simple holder and make the rest in software :)
[15:20:01] <Swapper_> But guess thats not the right way to do it
[15:20:21] <Swapper_> And then i cant get my head arround how to make a good rounout adjustment (in 4 axies)
[15:21:04] <cradek> even if you have software adjustment you have to get it reasonably well centered, right? you can't just glue it on any old way
[15:21:12] <cradek> I don't understand what you mean by 4 axes

[15:22:53] <cradek> do you already have spindle orient and lock?
[15:22:58] <Swapper_> yea ok sorry, eng is not my native language :)

[15:26:00] <Swapper_> simplest is to make a adaptor that fits in a collet > LP2 probe thread
[15:26:08] <Swapper_> But that will be no near concentric
[15:26:38] <Swapper_> and since the tip in it self is not per default concentric to the probe body i still need a way to adjust it

[17:53:02] <XXCoder1> cool
[17:53:11] <XXCoder1> so it's pretty sensive to vibrations?
[17:53:12] <Connor> Only issue is, it's a through bolt.. so, it might not help much.
[17:53:18] <Connor> My Mill? no.
[17:53:25] <Connor> Was more for clearance..
[17:53:56] <XXCoder1> router cncs?

[17:54:24] <XXCoder1> is router cncs more sensive to vibration
[17:54:33] <Einar> Volvo 240 motor mounts. Cut off one of the steel plates, and you have a machine foot with a bolt. Just need a nut.
[17:54:38] <Connor> Just depends on what your doing.

[17:55:32] <Connor> Vibration is bad in general.. Can introduce chatter..
[17:55:41] <Connor> if you have vibration.. it's best to fix it.
[17:55:59] <XXCoder1> ok
[17:56:12] <XXCoder1> still learning a lot before I get cnc
[17:56:13] <Connor> I was talking about the optical plates above as a base plate for a FLATE plate...
[17:56:17] <Connor> to mill off of..
[17:56:24] <XXCoder1> flate?
[17:56:27] <Connor> flat.
[17:56:51] <XXCoder1> ok. thanks
[17:57:35] <XXCoder1> generally, cnc can cut thick alum if do it in some tiny interments? like 1 mm or so depth?
[17:58:46] <Connor> Depends on the machine, and the rigidity of it. But, any machine capable of milling alum should be able to do way better than 1mm
[17:59:26] <XXCoder1> ok. I really need to learn whats good feed rate and depth so on for various materials.
[17:59:43] <XXCoder1> don't want to waste time waiting cnc to compolete when it can do 10x deeper for example
[17:59:56] <IchGuckLive> Einar: did you get the features runing
[18:00:16] <Connor> They're are calculators that can give you the proper DOC, IPM and RPM based on materials and cutter type
[18:00:29] <XXCoder1> cool, thanks
[18:00:43] <XXCoder1> what kind of program? does cam software has em?
[18:00:56] <Connor> Some came packages have it.
[18:01:01] <XXCoder1> rpm is clear but whats ipm and doc?

[18:04:08] <Connor> CaptHindsight: Cool. I heard that the big issue with that is the amount of bandwidth needed by the camera.. and the fact that USB isn't Real Time
[18:04:41] <Connor> XXCoder1: The machine will move as fast as you have the Max Feed rate set too..
[18:05:03] <XXCoder1> ok
[18:05:09] <CaptHindsight> Connor: yes, some of the cameras are GbEthernet or firewire
[18:05:12] <Connor> But, you could also have other issues.. if it's not moving fast enough, you could overload the bit

[18:05:35] <XXCoder1> by derbis from material?
[18:05:41] <Connor> yup.

[18:43:12] <pcw_home> If you dont want to build one you can get tiny magnetic deflection CRTs from old camcorders
[18:43:41] <XXCoder1> capt what can be done, can be overdone. build large array of electron guns to depost print circuits lol
[18:44:09] <CaptHindsight> XXCoder1: we do it now with lasers and dlp's
[18:44:22] <XXCoder1> lol guess I needed to catch up knowledge
[18:44:36] <XXCoder1> fine, upgrade it to 3d printer status ;)
[18:44:44] <CaptHindsight> but e-beamed copper is possible
[18:45:01] <CaptHindsight> just more expensive than laser right now
[18:45:44] <CaptHindsight> but to make a simple PCB you have to print both the substrate (board) and the copper traces
[18:46:54] <CaptHindsight> neat site, I forgot about them

[18:48:25] <CaptHindsight> lots of Boston labs must be clearing out equipment, I bought several linear servo positioners from that area for the 1/4 the price of new ballscrew units

[18:55:41] <archivist> Connor, like look sideways http://www.archivist.info/cnc/cnccam.html
[18:55:45] <Connor> It shouldn't if I mount it behind the spindle.. my question is.. any issues with using it as center/edge finder with it offset ? Would it still need to be perfectly parallel to the table, or could it be angled so it's center point is center point of the endmill ?
[18:56:12] <CaptHindsight> it depends on your lens
[18:56:22] <archivist> and and
[18:56:25] <Connor> Of course, it might have issues if I run flood.. :)
[18:56:44] <CaptHindsight> can it focus on the center if offset or angled?
[18:56:57] <Connor> It's manual focus..
[18:57:02] <archivist> have you got a telecentric lens
[18:57:20] <CaptHindsight> $4 usb webcam
[18:57:22] <Connor> I have NO idea what that means.. it's a cheap $4.00 camera from Chine.
[18:57:24] <CaptHindsight> so unlikely
[18:57:25] <Connor> China
[18:58:03] <archivist> is the optical axis pointing anything like the direction you think it should
[18:58:21] <CaptHindsight> http://www.edmundoptics.com/imaging/imaging-lenses/telecentric-lenses/ explains with examples here
[18:59:02] <Connor> archivist As far as I can tell..
[18:59:06] <CaptHindsight> Connor: can you get it to focus that close?
[18:59:23] -!- skorasaurus has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
[18:59:24] <Connor> I had it focusing rather closely..
[18:59:27] <CaptHindsight> Connor: how will it handle different tool lengths?
[18:59:28] <Connor> maybe 1/2"
[19:00:11] <CaptHindsight> set focus with the same tool length won't be a problem
[19:00:33] <Connor> Really wouldn't care about that would I?
[19:00:35] <archivist> their telecentric range has improved since I last looked
[19:00:43] <CaptHindsight> but what if one tool is 1" longer than another? will it still be in focus?
[19:00:49] -!- jerryitt has quit [Quit: Connection closed for inactivity]
[19:01:08] <Connor> Why would I care.. I wouldn't really need a tool in it to center / edge find...
[19:01:19] <CaptHindsight> I guess you could find the center and then ZERO and then put the tool in
[19:01:27] <Connor> Just thought it might be nice to not have to install the camera every time..
[19:01:43] -!- Komzzpa has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[19:01:57] <Connor> wasn't sure if angling the camera would be better.. or just use a offset...
[19:02:30] <CaptHindsight> either as long as it doesn't move in reference to the center of the spindle
[19:03:31] <Connor> Hmm.. I just had a thought, It might be too far away to offer good enough resolution if it's not mounted right below the spindle..
[19:03:43] <CaptHindsight> run the numbers, how close do you have to be to have focus and the resolution required
[19:03:57] <archivist> what accuracy etc
[19:04:00] <CaptHindsight> see what the depth iof field is
[19:04:15] <Connor> That, I don't know yet. I'll have to do some testing.. and to do that.. I need to mount it on the mill..
[19:04:19] <CaptHindsight> or just try it
[19:04:33] <CaptHindsight> you'll see if it's going to work
[19:04:45] <archivist> and then like me you give up using cheap sh.. and realise you need expensive
[19:04:52] <CaptHindsight> heh
[19:05:16] <CaptHindsight> shhsh you have to learn somehow
[19:05:23] <Connor> I have a more expensive camera I could use.. but, wanted lower end because I wanted lower bandwidth
[19:05:49] <Connor> I have a 720P Microsoft Live Camera.
[19:06:02] <Connor> but, this other one is tiny.
[19:06:36] <archivist> what resolution, one thou, ten or barn door
[19:06:38] <CaptHindsight> I remember when MIT had their yearly engineering contests, early on everybody was an expert, near the deadline the students became very teachable
[19:06:56] <Connor> I would like to get .0005 out o fit.
[19:07:14] <Connor> out OF IT
[19:07:42] <Connor> I'll see about mounting on the machine and making some reference marks and see how good I can get.

[21:16:31] <PCW> if you have 16384 counts/turn thats a 4096 line encoder

[21:23:16] <Swapper_> its a absolute encoder on a yaskawa drive
[21:23:47] <Swapper_> it says P/r 16384 in the driver
[21:24:26] <Swapper_> is it 16384 pulses per rev then ?
[21:24:56] <Swapper_> PCW: the servodrive can read the encoder since it can tune the drive and control it in step/dir
[21:25:16] <Swapper_> but i have no means to see if linuxcnc drops counts at higher vel.
[21:25:43] <Swapper_> its starts to runout on me when i go over a cirtain speed
[21:25:44] <PCW> not clear... encoders are specified in lines or Pulses/rotation but a 4096 pulse/r encoder has 16384 counts/turn
[21:26:44] <PCW> so how many encoder counts do you get for one turn?
[21:26:58] <PCW> (on linuxCNC)
[21:27:03] <Swapper_> hard to count :)
[21:27:07] <Swapper_> humz
[21:28:01] <Swapper_> i can set a PG Divider in the driver now it will output 16384 P/r
[21:28:05] <Swapper_> if that says anyting
[21:29:02] <PCW> I would not trust anything unless you can rotate the motor 1 turn while looking at the encoder.rawcounts pin
[21:29:50] <Swapper_> ok, let me try. Have to disable the driver to be able to turn it
[21:30:00] <PCW> you should be able to disable the drive and rotate the shaft by hand

[21:30:23] <Swapper_> will do, will the raw counter reset if i unplug the 7i77?
[21:30:30] <Swapper_> its no 0 now
[21:30:40] <PCW> no
[21:31:26] -!- kfoltman has quit [Quit: Ex-Chat]
[21:32:00] <PCW> you may have to subtract the starting number (or restart linuxcnc) to get a 0 rawcounts number

[21:36:03] <Swapper_> PCW: i get arround 6639 in rawcounters 1 turn
[21:36:11] <Swapper_> 66639 !
[21:36:36] <Swapper_> and 16384 * 4 = 65536
[21:36:40] <Swapper_> seems right?
[21:36:46] <Swapper_> its counting all the flanks ?
[21:37:37] <PCW> Yeah so thats going to exceed the 7I77s encoder max rate with filter on at around 900 RPM
[21:38:22] <Swapper_> i get 750
[21:38:49] <PCW> yeah the quadrature is probably not perfect
[21:39:13] <Swapper_> whats the best way arround that then ?
[21:39:25] <Swapper_> is there any point in counting on all the flanks ?
[21:39:38] <Swapper_> or should i reduce the number of output pulses from the drive?
[21:39:55] <PCW> lower the emulated encoder resolution and turn off the encoder filter
[21:40:22] <Swapper_> what is the encoder filter?
[21:40:25] <PCW> (first in the drive and second in the hal file)
[21:41:17] <Swapper_> ahh nvm i found it
[21:41:59] <Swapper_> would it be better to run my 6i25 in native 6i25 mode ?
[21:42:13] <PCW> What is the max RPM of the motor?
[21:42:46] <Swapper_> will probably not run faster than 3000rpm
[21:42:52] <Swapper_> but max is 5000rpm
[21:43:01] <PCW> (no real advantage of real 6I25 mode)
[21:43:32] <PCW> just slightly faster access (PCI part of bus runs at 66 instead of 33)
[21:43:47] <Swapper_> yea figured it could have somting to do with this but guess not :)
[21:44:42] <Swapper_> do you think i should lower the drive first and then the filter or both ?
[21:44:54] <PCW> so probably setting the P/R to 4096 (16383 c/t) and turning off the filter should get you to 6000 RPM or so
[21:45:07] <Swapper_> ok will try that !
[21:45:12] <Swapper_> Thank you verymuch!

[21:48:53] <PCW> Its probably possible to run at that high (65536 counts/turn) a count rate at 5000 RPM by
[21:48:55] <PCW> tweaking some encoder regs but at 16384 counts/rev thats 0.1 u per count so more than that is
[21:48:56] <PCW> likely in the land of diminishing returns
[21:50:08] <Swapper_> hehe
[21:50:25] <Swapper_> but i guess i get deasent accuracy anyhow :)
[21:50:35] <Swapper_> its in the 0.000 region
[21:50:39] <Swapper_> mm
[21:51:58] <PCW> accuracy will depend more on your mechanics
[21:53:09] -!- larryone has quit [Quit: This computer has gone to sleep]
[21:54:29] <PCW> that is how much frictional force is needed to cause a non-sensed 0.1 u deflection in your axis (or even 1 u)
[21:54:32] <Swapper_> ya will be far out from those figures
