[02:03:16] FreezingAlt is now known as FreezingCold
[02:04:34] <PetefromTn_Andro> Okay so you are saying there is no way to record what is stored where upon shutdown?
[02:05:24] <tjtr33> not saying that, i dunno, but seems it could be stored in #5xxx vars. have not tried it
[02:05:54] <tjtr33> actually i said, "stat with spindle empty'
[02:06:04] <tjtr33> which avoids the issue
[02:06:08] <somenewguy> you could probably default have the controller assume longest tool on startup?
[02:06:49] <somenewguy> but to correct what is in the spindle would be a manual set to what it really is, which makes sense
[02:07:02] <somenewguy> if you are recovering from error or emergency, a little human intervention is a nice sanity check
[02:07:16] <PetefromTn_Andro> Yeah that would be ideal if anyone who might run the machine knew to unload the spindle tool into a pocket before shutdown but we are trying to make things idiotproof after all i am running the damn thing LOL
[02:07:32] <somenewguy> haha I know the feeling
[02:07:50] <Tom_itx> just because you record what was there is no guarantee it can't be manually changed
[02:08:16] <somenewguy> but if post-emergency it assuems longest tool, you at least wont have a crash, AND you won't try to load a tool into a loaded spindle
[02:08:35] <somenewguy> all this is theory to me of course, I don't even have indexable collets
[02:08:52] <PetefromTn_Andro> Well actually our plan is to have an auto homing routine upon startup which will not allow any user input until complete.
[02:09:09] <pcw_home> R2E4_ so spindle is no-go?
[02:09:31] <tjtr33> PetefromTn_Andro, how many employees you got to worry about? cant they/you check 16 or so tools are where they should be before hitting start?
[02:09:36] <R2E4_> no,
[02:09:57] <R2E4_> I am thinking it needs 0-10V with forward input or reverse inp[ut
[02:10:13] <PetefromTn_Andro> Yeah we are not really talking about tool length here rather trying to store a tool in a pocket that already has one in it crashes...
[02:10:44] <somenewguy> oh, a pre-occupied pocket would be just as akward as a pre-occupied spindle, didn't think of that
[02:10:52] <tjtr33> thats a sensor and some logic setting value of 'someonessleepinginmybed'
[02:10:58] <R2E4_> When I givbe it enable command, I hear acontactor energize.
[02:11:11] <Tom_itx> When LinuxCNC is shut down, volatile parameters lose their values. All parameters except numbered parameters in the current persistent range [1] are volatile. Persistent parameters are saved in the .var file and restored to their previous values when LinuxCNC is started again. Volatile numbered parameters are reset to zero.
[02:11:15] <R2E4_> but the maintenance manual is no real help.
[02:11:23] <pcw_home> do you have an analog input voltage
[02:11:27] <pcw_home> ?
[02:11:38] <Tom_itx> http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/overview.html
[02:11:39] <PetefromTn_Andro> There is 20 tools and if the tool in spindle is tracked along with its position somewhere outside the power on setup it will not matter.
[02:11:56] <R2E4_> halscope says there is.
[02:12:10] <R2E4_> out of the 7i77 you mean?
[02:12:12] <pcw_home> does a DVM say ther is
[02:12:44] <pcw_home> (channel 5)
[02:13:25] <R2E4_> I havemine setup on channel 3
[02:14:21] <PetefromTn_Andro> Honestly my questions here were hopefully being directed to those folks who have working toolchanger equipped machines. Although any input is welcome I am curious as to what their machine setup does in this instance.
[02:15:12] <R2E4_> analogout3
[02:16:30] <zeeshan|2> FUCK

[02:16:47] <zeeshan|2> i shoulda put an alarm.
[02:18:39] <PetefromTn_Andro> I would like to think there is a way to track this upon shutdown or rather continually in some register when the control is enabled. Then when shutdown happens and restart can check that register somehow and know what is where..

[02:21:30] <pcw_home> aout 3 is not suited to spindle use
[02:21:55] <pcw_home> (because it cannot be separately enabled)

[02:22:36] <PetefromTn_Andro> Yeah man I was thinking that I use axis 5 for spindle.
[02:23:27] <Tom_itx> PetefromTn_Andro, did you read the link?
[02:23:41] <Tom_itx> 5400 - Current Tool Number
[02:23:47] <Tom_itx> stored in the .var file
[02:24:01] <R2E4_> OK, I canchange that later. I am not using the ENA+ onthat channelthough.
[02:25:02] <pcw_home> doesnt matter, same issue (only aout5 is independent)
[02:25:15] <PetefromTn_Andro> Okay does that include the pocket information too? My smartphone kinda has a fit when I try to look at too much stuff at one time LOL.
[02:25:33] <Tom_itx> it allows for user vars
[02:25:54] <Tom_itx> 1-5000 - G-Code user parameters. These parameters are global in the G Code file.
[02:25:54] <R2E4_> OK, I will change it but that wouldnt make a diofference here would it?

[02:28:51] <PetefromTn_Andro> Tom I will look into that some more tomorrow. Sounds like it might be our answer here. Thanks for searching for me.
[02:28:58] <R2E4_> It has a magnetic sensor for orientation andthat is connected.

[02:38:18] <skunkworks> iirc - if you add the parameter number to the var file - it then persists...
[02:38:36] <skunkworks> (between runs)
[02:38:52] <tjtr33> thats what the docs say, and the current tool number is one step beyond the list of stored data. the src file and footnote explain it. (this is what i read when i look at my source )
[02:40:14] <tjtr33> skunkworks, could you look at the last line of
http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/overview.html. and then at the src file for us?
[02:40:40] <tjtr33> i think it says the tool number is outside of the persistant range
[02:40:58] <tjtr33> lemme try on a sim

[02:41:01] <pcw_home> R2E4_ I wonder if theres a sequence that must be followed (say assert for/rev and then assert enable)
[02:41:13] <zeeshan|2> any of you guys have file cabinets
[02:41:14] <zeeshan|2> in the shop
[02:41:35] <R2E4_> pcw_home: I'm going to try and speak with Fanuc tomorrow.
[02:43:48] <Tom_itx> tjtr33, that's what it says...
[02:45:18] <zeeshan|2> R2E4: did you buy it from fanuc directly?
[02:45:33] <tjtr33> Tom_itx, my var files are 5161 thru 5490 and they are all alotted in that array
[02:45:46] <zeeshan|2> support costs $$
[02:46:13] <tjtr33> Tom_itx, and I dont know how to examine a #var in a terminal
[02:46:31] <R2E4_> IT was in the machinewhen I got themachine.
[02:46:40] <Tom_itx> i'm not sure either
[02:46:58] <zeeshan|2> do you have the motor manual?
[02:47:49] <tjtr33> Tom_itx, Cradek replied on wiki "
http://linuxcnc.org/hardy/lucid/emc2/index.php/french/forum/20-g-code/26416-numbered-parameters-persistence--how-many"
[02:48:03] <R2E4_> Dont need the motor manual. ned the drive manual and I have the maintenance manual for the drive, but that does meno good.
[02:48:31] <tjtr33> he said what skunkworks said, if you _add_ a var to the file, it becomes persistant, going to try now ( dunno whats NOT used already tho )
[02:48:37] <zeeshan|2> i can hook you up with fanuc's support manuals
[02:48:42] <zeeshan|2> that they give on a CD
[02:49:11] <zeeshan|2> is has the technical documents for servo and amplifiers
[02:49:27] <Tom_itx> use the user vars associated with gcode user parameters
[02:49:33] <Tom_itx> 1-5000
[02:49:45] <Tom_itx> those are global
[02:49:55] <humble_sea_bass> zeeshan|2: post that business

[02:59:01] <humble_sea_bass> the internet isn't even trying to tell me about weird tricks
[03:00:26] <zeeshan|2> R2E4:
[03:00:30] <zeeshan|2> are you sure its called that?
[03:00:52] <zeeshan|2> when i google that, that says its a fanuc maintenance manual
[03:01:12] <zeeshan|2> b-52424e is the operators manual
[03:01:43] <zeeshan|2> you sure its not a alpha series servo amplifier?
[03:03:39] <zeeshan|2> okay from this manul im reading
[03:03:48] <zeeshan|2> a06b is stating its a ac server motor
[03:03:51] <zeeshan|2> alpha series
[03:04:05] <zeeshan|2> the 1 means its a taper shaft w/ brake (35N*m)
[03:04:17] <zeeshan|2> whoops
[03:04:22] <zeeshan|2> read the wrong number
[03:04:41] <zeeshan|2> that motor isnt an alpha series nm
[03:04:44] <tjtr33> Tom_itx, try MDI #5161=123.456 then (debug, #5161) to get a popup ,,, next look at file saved
[03:06:30] <tjtr33> Tom_itx, yah its in the saved .var file, now to use a previously unused var
[03:07:01] <R2E4_> no
[03:07:06] <jdh> anyone know what happens when you hook a low-inductance stepper up to a drive that says no low inductance steppers?
[03:08:36] <R2E4_> zeeshan|2: Thats the manual I have B-53425E, it is the maintenance manual.
[03:08:43] <zeeshan|2> yea
[03:08:54] <zeeshan|2> i think this might have something
[03:08:58] <zeeshan|2> that might help you
[03:09:00] <R2E4_> I ned the manual with the wiring and connections, and operating
[03:09:01] <R2E4_> Cool
[03:09:04] <zeeshan|2> its worth taking a look
[03:09:12] <zeeshan|2> i mainly used it to debug the controllers
[03:09:17] <zeeshan|2> never looked into wiring
[03:10:43] <tjtr33> Tom_itx, MDI #5160=876.54321 then (debug, #5160) to get a popup , this part worksm but its NOT saved to var file :(
[03:11:21] <tjtr33> Tom_itx, var file still begins at 5161, maybe 5160 belongs to something else
[03:11:21] <R2E4_> The bridgeports is just purring along....

[03:13:21] <Tom_itx> !bookmark
[03:13:32] <Tom_itx> for me so i can look at it tomorrow :)
[03:15:50] <Tom_itx> the range is from 5061-5070 then it jumps to 5161-5169
[03:15:50] <tjtr33> #5170 is insode that domain, unused, but isnt stored when i set it. it looks like _only_ those in the array are stored, and _all_of those are used already ( have specific meaning )
[03:16:07] <Tom_itx> yeah
[03:16:56] <tjtr33> Tom_itx, so unless i stomp on one of the existing vars, i cant do it UNLESS i change the code to add new vars ( maybe thats what Cradek meant)
[03:17:27] <tjtr33> pretty simple, but unique ( nobody else would be able to use it )
[03:17:38] <Tom_itx> yeah
[03:17:47] <tjtr33> thats all i got :)
[03:17:56] <Tom_itx> thanks
[03:18:00] <Tom_itx> it's not for me anyway

[03:30:02] <tjtr33> Tom_itx, at end of array is entry RS274NGC_MAX_PARAMETERS which is defined in interp_internal.hh as 5602 so theres room for a bunch of new vars which are persistant
[03:30:56] <Tom_itx> i saw that as well
[03:31:28] <Tom_itx> but you still have to edit the array in the .cc file right?

[03:32:31] <tjtr33> i think so, it looks clean, best run the devs in devel. state the reason first, rather than the proposed solution.
[03:32:33] <Tom_itx> also, they aren't all sequential
[03:33:31] <R2E4_> zeeshan|2: did you see mine oin there?
[03:33:41] <tjtr33> Tom_itx, correct, i didnt study the code loop yet. it would have to iterate from 5390 thru 5602 to be real helpful
[03:33:47] <zeeshan|2> i didnt look hard enough :P
[03:33:51] <zeeshan|2> open up main.pdf
[03:34:00] <zeeshan|2> and click manuals and amplifiers
[03:34:04] <zeeshan|2> see if you can find something useful
[03:34:24] <Tom_itx> tjtr33, you could add any number at the end of the array as long as it was above the previous one
[03:34:28] <R2E4_> OK, I am heading home and will download it in a while.
[03:34:29] <Tom_itx> and within the range
[03:34:48] <Tom_itx> i don't see why they don't just use the tool table data, it stores the tool number and pocket
[03:35:20] <Tom_itx> and if they pre index the changer it would start at a known location
[03:35:47] <Tom_itx> and if the tool in the changer doesn't match the tool table then shame on them
[03:36:36] <Tom_itx> anyway.. i'm out for tonight

[04:49:17] <tjtr33> Tom_itx: it works in master.
[04:49:40] <tjtr33> Tom_itx: I added 5170 to the var file, set at 0.0000, then ran my Master rip, and set it to 51.70, verified it with (debug,#5170), exited linuxcnc, then viewed the .var file, it was saved ok,
[04:50:14] <tjtr33> Tom_itx: then reopened linuxcnc, and did (debug, #5170) and got 51.70. It works without hacking any code in master ( i had tested in a release version, my bad )
[04:53:42] <tjtr33> Tom_itx, now everyone running master can use the variable. but the allocation is unique to your implementation. Some mem map is needed like in the .cc file, like a startup popup or letter to the group, dunno how to make the special stuff puplic/acepted.

[13:34:48] <zeeshan|2> i dont thinkso
[13:35:22] <zeeshan|2> all those alpha,beta drives look like theyre the only ones that are compatible with their i series controllers
[13:35:30] <zeeshan|2> (at least according to fanuc)
[13:35:42] <zeeshan|2> and if you look at the motor codes supported by those drives
[13:35:47] <zeeshan|2> i didnt see your motor on there

[16:04:23] <pcw_home> Yes
[16:04:53] <skunkworks> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average
[16:05:12] <skunkworks> The problem can be overcome by iterating the process three times, with the window being shortened by a factor of 1.4303 at each step.[3] This removes the negation effects and provides a better behaved filter.
[16:05:33] <skunkworks> does that mean they take the average of the 3 averages?
[16:06:35] <pcw_home> sounds like it but a simple SMA would be a big improvement
[16:06:47] <pcw_home> (and its easy as well)
[16:06:56] <skunkworks> so average of 10 samples, 7 and 5.. then average those 3 togather?
[16:07:22] <skunkworks> I think I can write a comp to do that pretty easy..
[16:07:52] <pcw_home> SMA is just average of last N samples
[16:08:09] <skunkworks> right
[16:08:28] <skunkworks> but they talk about inversions if you don't itarate though 3 times...
[16:09:16] <pcw_home> (so you maintain a circular buffer if the N samples and at the pointer position you subtract the old and add_ overwrite the old with the new)
[16:09:30] <pcw_home> of the N
[16:09:31] -!- lyzidiam_ has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[16:09:33] <skunkworks> right - I can wrap my head around that.
[16:10:07] <pcw_home> mod N the pointer
[16:12:12] <pcw_home> should be much better (and more consistent) since the average will not
[16:12:14] <pcw_home> depend on the synchronization between accel data and sampling interval
[16:12:35] <pcw_home> (the problem the block average has)
[16:14:08] <pcw_home> (it will still be delayed 1/2 average period so the plot will show the accel late )
[16:15:40] <pcw_home> (I guess you could add a 1/2 average period delay function as a utility to the moving average comp)
[16:15:44] <skunkworks> that is ok - (already have that issue)
[16:16:45] <archivist> stock markets use moving averages too, use two over different (5 and 10 days) periods and look for the cross over to buy/sell
[16:17:43] <pcw_home> the delay function is almost the same code as the SMA (just 1/2 the length and no adds, just fetch/store)
[16:18:15] <pcw_home> so you could feed you velocity through and get you plots aligned
[16:19:06] <skunkworks> oh - delay the velocity.. duh.
[16:19:38] <skunkworks> I was wondering how I was going to look into the future to align the acc with the incoming velocity..

[17:14:07] <XXCoder2> heh sometimes restoring destroys value. I recall one old stuff show where guy who removed real ugly black paint from one funture. apparently its rare one $6000 or more... if black paint was still on. without it, $200

[17:46:02] <Einar> The lathe have a central oiler. If I connect a wiper motor and a wire to the handle it could be electrically operated. Is there a way in LinuxCNC to give a pulse after ### metres of movement?
[17:46:50] <Einar> It will vary widely how much it moves between power on/off, so that will not be useful.
[17:47:57] <IchGuckLive> Einar: you can make a comp and tell it the number of movement and it makes a sum()
[17:48:05] <IchGuckLive> so then you can pulse out

[17:54:22] <Einar> I may try that. More as an educational move than me not being able to pull the lever. At least for some years. It would be easier to debug than the toolchanger comp.

[17:59:18] <alex-bv-ro> it is more ubuntu related than linuxcnc related, did anybody got the intel NM10 express graphics chip to work correctly?
[18:01:46] <pcw_home> Didn't know there was a problem with the NM10. Thats the one on the Atom D525 MBs that are commonly used for LinuxCNC
[18:03:56] <alex-bv-ro> I have an intel D2550 with nm10 chipset

[18:05:42] <alex-bv-ro> ubuntu 10.04

[18:12:21] <Connor> in working on PeteFromTN toolchanger script.. I've identify a issue.. what to do if he reboots and has tool in spindle..
[18:13:00] <alex-bv-ro> Yes, other monitors work just fine, the only problem is, I just bought 3 identical monitors for my new operator panel for my linuxcnc machines
[18:13:11] <IchGuckLive> Connor: i got a pyvcp tool clamp open
[18:13:13] <Connor> when he comes back up, the carousel will home.. but not know what pocket the tool goes into.. and will cause a crash when he goes to change tools
[18:13:19] <IchGuckLive> and i replace it mauell
[18:13:19] <skunkworks> Connor, we normally put a dummy tool in the spindle.
[18:13:37] <skunkworks> I thought you could tell linuxcnc what tool is in the spindle
[18:13:57] <Connor> Well.. they're random and non-random..
[18:14:02] <Connor> his is non-random..
[18:14:09] <skunkworks> right
[18:14:16] <Connor> and.. talking about across reboots..

[18:15:55] <Connor> when he homes... it then checks if tool in spindle, and if so, checks that variable, and moves the carousel to that location.
[18:16:16] <Einar> Also because I read somewhere that onboard video is not so good for realtime performance. Then it seemed like a good solution for me.
[18:16:54] <Einar> Video cards gets thrown out early from the CAD guys (or PC gamers).
[18:17:00] <Connor> skunkworks: Thoughts on that ?
[18:17:50] <pcw_home> Onboard video is usually fine nowadays
[18:18:35] <skunkworks> Connor, sounds good - but you should ask on the mailing list. A lot more people on there running real machines
[18:19:14] <Connor> Kinda get lost on the list....
[18:19:30] <Connor> But, I'll see about posting up a question..
[18:19:38] <alex-bv-ro> i had problems in the past with this chipset but now the display is very bad
[18:19:39] <Connor> I plan on releasing this script into the wild after I'm done.
[18:20:02] <Connor> I just hope no one pokes fun at the way I did things..
[18:20:56] <pcw_home> can you sense if a tool is in the spindle (or in a toolholder?)
[18:21:03] <Einar> If I were to swap stepper to servo, would I need to go up in torque to not loose accel or speed? The torque/RPM curves are very different.
[18:21:44] <Connor> pcw_home: Can sense if tool is in spindle.
[18:21:58] <Einar> Connor: If they do, they better come up with a very godd solution!
[18:22:12] <Einar> good
[18:22:30] <pcw_home> seems like a prox on the tool changer could log empty holders by doing a spin at startup

[18:33:10] <pcw_home> Maybe thats better, worth a try anyway
[18:34:49] <andypugh> The best way I have found to get accelleration from noisy samples is a polynomial least-squares fit which you then explicitly differentiate.
[18:35:29] <pcw_home> a bit more difficult to do in real time
[18:36:25] <pcw_home> anyway a SMA should be a lot more consistent than the boxcar average
[18:37:53] <andypugh> So, if the polynomial fit is 12 + 13x - 14x^2 + 15x^3 the acceleration is -28x + 45x^2 which you then solve for the x at the point af interest. (Actually it is better to shift the data to site symmetrically around x = 0 and solve for x = 0)

[19:39:40] -!- valeech has quit [Quit: valeech]
[19:39:48] <pcw_home> (vel-timeout sets how long the encoder logic will wait for a count change before just giving up and reporting 0 velocity)
[19:40:53] <pcw_home> but that should make a simple deadzone around 0 velocity

[19:41:48] <skunkworks> it is set to .5 - I set it to 2 and didn't seem to change anything

[19:46:42] <skunkworks> have to play with it some more... but is close I feel...
[19:47:18] <skunkworks> jeeze - that is in seconds. .5 should have been long enough anyways
[19:47:53] <skunkworks> so - maybe a direction change issue with stepgen?
[19:48:44] <skunkworks> I could change linuxcnc to quadature...

[19:49:19] <skunkworks> see if it effects anything
[19:54:26] <pcw_home> or try the a hardware stepgen with PID
[19:55:30] <skunkworks> quadature has the same peaks
[19:57:16] <skunkworks> I guess I could feed a 7i80 stepgen back into a 7i80 encoder counter to see if I get the same peaks
[19:58:07] <pcw_home> yes or run the software stepgen in PID mode
[20:00:39] <skunkworks> oh
[20:00:44] <skunkworks> I could try that..
[20:00:49] <skunkworks> tomorrow though..
[20:00:50] <skunkworks> bbl
[20:01:08] <skunkworks> (increasing the scale didn't seem to effect it either)
[20:01:19] <skunkworks> if anything it was worse.. but hard to tell
