[00:00:26] <Jymmm> jdh: Had other heat options I'm suspecting?
[00:02:19] <jdh> other than sit under blankets and shiver? no.

[00:04:28] <Jymmm> jdh: No fireplace or anything?
[00:05:12] <Jymmm> jdh: ...and isn't under the covers "shivering" what got her pregnant in the first place? lol
[00:05:14] <jdh> nope.
[00:05:51] <jdh> heh, both were planned... worked out almost perfectly (one was off by 1 month)
[00:06:13] -!- asdfasd has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]
[00:06:32] <Jymmm> jdh: That's fucked up. We had the wall heater go out one evening (scum landlord too), and luckily it wasn't that cold and I was able to fix it the next day luckily enough.....
[00:06:55] <XXCoder1> interesting http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/04/07/1290380/-Navy-lab-makes-gasoline-from-seawater-as-low-as-3-per-gallon?detail=facebook
[00:07:07] <Jymmm> jdh: after that I said fuck this, and it took me a while but I finally found the Portable Buddy heater.

[00:07:37] <jdh> I bought stuff after I could get out. Never needed it (moved a few months later)
[00:08:00] <jdh> here, we have lost power for a few days post-hurricane, but it is just an inconvenience and the weather is usually beautiful post-storm
[00:08:18] <Jymmm> jdh: Once we had that fucking enro crap and no power for six hours, the gf was sicker than a dawg, it was 100F, no fans, and lost our reef tank too. I got a honda EU2000 after that.
[00:08:57] <Jymmm> jdh: So now, I have power and heat for at least 96 hours
[00:09:52] <XXCoder1> I wonder if theres enough differnal between sun and shade to run larger stirling for power
[00:10:12] <Jymmm> XXCoder1: to power what?
[00:10:22] <XXCoder1> AC. LOL
[00:10:29] <XXCoder1> use hot sun to cool
[00:11:11] <Jymmm> Not sure, after the BS, I just wasn't going to go thru that again.

[00:12:18] <Jymmm> Well, a tad larger than I already have that is
[00:12:41] <Jymmm> I have 15W now, going for 50W next.
[00:14:01] <Jymmm> Speaking of which... I need to shutdown the NAS so I can reclaim my wattmeter =)

[00:37:57] <XXCoder1> random thought, possible to run cnc router cut glass? lol
[00:38:24] <PetefromTn_> You could diamond engrave it... Or build a waterjet from one LOL.
[00:39:08] <PetefromTn_> It could be possible to machine it with a diamond bit but you would need a VERY precise and smooth action machine.
[00:39:25] <XXCoder1> I bet.
[00:39:39] <XXCoder1> definitely not any cheap stepper machine I bet
[00:40:18] <PetefromTn_> dunno.. the stepper part has nothing to do with it really. Nothing wrong with steppers.
[00:40:41] <XXCoder1> dont it move in discrate steps
[00:40:48] <XXCoder1> tiny ones but still
[00:41:30] <PetefromTn_> feed is feed I would think but I am no stepper expert.
[00:41:40] <XXCoder1> ok heh
[00:41:53] <XXCoder1> I doubt I would test that theory lol
[00:42:08] <XXCoder1> engrave with diamond bit a circle on glass see what happens
[00:44:23] <PetefromTn_> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8cfxt0NtjM Basically just like this but on glass... and yeah that is a stepper machine apparently.
[00:44:45] <XXCoder1> interesting
[00:44:58] <XXCoder1> wonder what ipm it is going on
[00:45:18] <XXCoder1> and look, it does more than one step deep so doc must be tiny
[00:45:50] <PetefromTn_> whaddya mean?
[00:45:50] <XXCoder1> oh borders nm
[00:46:01] <XXCoder1> I thought it cut twice, deeper on second
[00:46:04] <PetefromTn_> The drag engraver is a floating cutterhaed.
[00:46:13] <PetefromTn_> It is spring loaded
[00:46:22] <XXCoder1> really? intersting
[00:46:38] <PetefromTn_> you just set a suitable Z depth to get the amount of pressure you desire which determines the depth of the engraving.
[00:46:40] <XXCoder1> same thing on steel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eCsngVlKso
[00:47:09] <XXCoder1> it dont seem to be rotating
[00:47:27] <PetefromTn_> it isn't
[00:47:34] <PetefromTn_> it is just being dragged around.
[00:47:43] <XXCoder1> interesting
[00:47:44] <PetefromTn_> Thus the name Diamond Drag Engraving.

[00:50:50] <PetefromTn_> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7KWp3cutyk This video shows glass being engraved apparently and the text seems to indicate it is doable.
[00:51:21] <XXCoder1> looing
[00:51:49] <humble_sea_bass> those spring mounted glass grinding bits are the cats pajamas
[00:51:51] <PetefromTn_> nice part about these tools is that the surface need not be perfectly flat due to the floating head which can be a challenge for other forms of engraving.

[00:56:05] -!- XXCoder1 has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[00:56:06] <PetefromTn_> you can buy those heads for like $180.00 I think or you can make one yourself. It is simple actually just needs to have good runout and the action needs to be tight so the cutter does not move when the machine changes direction.
[00:56:35] <NickParker|2> Is there someplace I can find a working .hal file for a 5i25/6i25 hostmot2 driven machine?
[00:57:05] <NickParker|2> I can jog axes and spin the spindle and such from halrun now, but trying to build the whole file from scratch seems very very slow
[00:58:18] <PetefromTn_> can you not use PNCconf?
[00:58:35] <NickParker|2> no, I had to do a bunch of special crap with my firmware, mostly to my stepgens
[00:58:58] <NickParker|2> It still takes the same general input .hal side though

[01:30:04] <PetefromTn_Andro> A lot of the parts they make in the shop need to be engraved with a part number. They have this interesting little impact engraver that is a small scarab robot that has a programmable interface that sits on a desktop.

[02:00:25] <CaptMemleak> wasshappinin?
[02:01:44] <witnit> ha this is the error report from the the tool that came with this printer port card== No any port been found, type 'lsmod' to check driver ==

[02:05:00] <witnit> and still no port found
[02:05:00] <CaptMemleak> what do lspci give unto you?
[02:05:14] <witnit> it called it serial device
[02:05:35] <CaptMemleak> maybe it's not a LPT controller

[02:08:20] <witnit> this looks like exactly the same card and problem
[02:08:38] <witnit> I greatly appreciate this how did you find so quickly!
[02:11:16] <CaptMemleak> heh, really want to know?

[02:12:20] <witnit> this is such a waste of my time.
[02:12:24] <zeeshan> that chain might rip someones arm off
[02:12:38] <witnit> I think I will order one which I will not have to mess with.
[02:12:51] <witnit> and never buy from from that company again.
[02:13:19] <zeeshan> do lspci -vv
[02:13:28] <zeeshan> and see if the parallel port shows up
[02:13:28] <witnit> for the time I have wasted on it already I could have bought 4 working out of the box ones by now
[02:14:21] <skunkworks> zeeshan: cool - based on a 2cyl air compressor?
[02:14:27] <CaptMemleak> yeah, lots of Krappy LPT devices out there
[02:14:40] <zeeshan> skunkworks: yes
[02:16:25] <witnit> http://pastebin.com/sSK0c1VB
[02:17:09] <witnit> its really not worth it, if I cant ask someone to pick the item out of the box, place it into the system and load a .hal file it's just not worth it.

[02:41:32] <ebrummer> playing with 5i23 and 7i49 for my resolvers. i put the bin files etc in so I can run pncconf , select 5i23, select SV6_7i49 on Mesa I/O setup screen. Hit accept component changes. I don't get any extra tabs to specify which axis etc is which. If I click forward, I get "you forgot to designate a stepper or pwm signal for axis x" etc for each axis. THen I get teh x axis motor/encoder config and can't go forward or anything.
[02:43:39] <pcw_home> Not sure pncconf has ever worked very well for
[02:43:41] <pcw_home> resolver configs but a do you have a sv6_7i49 xml file?
[02:44:00] <ebrummer> believe so
[02:44:17] <ebrummer> copied everything out of the 5i23 zip I have. let me double check
[02:44:39] <ebrummer> yes I do.
[02:46:46] -!- patrickarlt has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[02:46:49] <pcw_home> you can probably disconnect the 7i49, tell pncconf you have a 7I48 config and then edit the hal file

[03:06:54] <pcw_home> SVST8_4 is not a 7I48 config
[03:08:53] <ebrummer> I'm checking on version. I don't know why I wouldn't. Installed it a few weeks ago. hostmot2 is all latest
[03:09:31] <ebrummer> in the package manager

[03:13:52] <pcw_home> if you just want a resolver test config I think i have one around
[03:14:31] <ebrummer> setting up a 3axis analog dc brushed servo with resolvers
[03:14:44] <ebrummer> (and eventually adding a spindle encoder)
[03:15:07] <ebrummer> looking to getting up and going testing axis movement/resolver feedback
[03:16:10] <pcw_home> freeby.mesanet.com/hm2-servosrt.hal
[03:16:12] <pcw_home> freeby.mesanet.com/5i23-srt.ini
[03:16:55] <pcw_home> are basically the hm2 sample servo files with resolver instead of encoder feedback
[03:18:01] <ebrummer> and I'll drop those in same as the other sample configs, and be selectable when starting up LinuxCNC (and not using pncconf
[03:18:43] <pcw_home> yep
[03:19:35] <ebrummer> thanks
[03:20:11] <pcw_home> check that the resolver bitfile name matches what you have, you may need to change it
[03:23:44] <witnit> I have three large ac resolver feedback gettys motors perfect for a bridgeport or bigger, if anyone needs such a thing

[14:49:00] <Jymmm> I picked up a 220V impulse sealer cheap. If I plug it into 110V then measure the voltages at the secondary of the xfmr, will it be linear (can I just 'double' the output voltages when looking for a replacement xfmr)?

[14:50:28] <skunkworks> yes
[14:51:19] <skunkworks> why not run it on 220?
[14:51:53] <Jymmm> Ok cool, and just double the wattage too (plus a tad more) ? I dont have a invertor

[14:55:35] <Jymmm> pcw_home: No, this is SUPER cheap chinese thing. no dual voltage option
[14:55:35] <skunkworks> you live in california - don't you? you don't need a dryer..
[14:56:09] <Jymmm> skunkworks: LOL, well we also have this thing called killer mold too =)
[14:56:48] <skunkworks> watts is watts.. if you get a transformer that takes 110v in and the right voltage out - same wattage should work.

[15:47:21] <Connor> Just using the coupler and stepper motor?
[15:47:47] <CaptHindsight2> unfortunately they are all just too poorly made
[15:48:05] <CaptHindsight2> the wost part are the bearings
[15:48:30] <Connor> AT is good company.. I would complain to them.
[15:48:43] <CaptHindsight2> dtents or sound like they have sand inn them, probably from a bearing factory that very dirty

[15:49:31] <Connor> Well.. tell him to stop importing crap then. :)
[15:49:34] <CaptHindsight2> that's just how they are made
[15:49:48] <CaptHindsight2> he did, he only has a few left on special sale
[15:50:07] <Connor> What's he got to replace them ?
[15:50:12] <CaptHindsight2> nothing
[15:50:57] <Connor> Not made correctly either.. the rails for the gantry should be mounted sideways.. not on the bottom.. I know, I made the same mistake.
[15:51:22] <CaptHindsight2> it's not a very good router design
[15:51:30] <CaptHindsight2> it has lots of flex
[15:51:44] <CaptHindsight2> it's fine for non-contact applications

[15:53:44] <Connor> It's cheaper than the one I build.. and mine was made from MDF.
[15:54:02] <Connor> but, mine uses bearing blocks. :

[15:58:52] <CaptHindsight2> when Linux first comes up the LPT Pin #1 (STROBE) signal defaults to a LOW

[20:16:23] <KreAture> I may use full length legs
[20:16:31] <KreAture> and I am not done figuring out the axis yet
[20:17:07] <Connor> Oh yea. I remember that one..
[20:17:48] <KreAture> I am not done though, want to find the tightest and smoothest setup
[20:17:51] <humble_sea_bass> das a lot of 8020 mane
[20:18:31] <Connor> Yea.. I was thinking the same thing.. Got to be a better way to build that without using so much... and still have the same strength and easy of build
[20:19:00] <witnit> the 80/20 place is about 30 miles from my house
[20:19:06] <witnit> well one of them :P
[20:19:30] <witnit> they do some serious business
[20:19:35] <humble_sea_bass> don't mean you gotta go on an 8020 bender
[20:20:10] <KreAture> it is 6030 not 8040
[20:20:27] <KreAture> 60/30 fits with the mounting holes, 8040 and 8020 does not
[20:20:37] <Connor> huh?
[20:20:38] <KreAture> also, it's cheaper than alu plates here
[20:20:54] <KreAture> The rails come with the perfect holeset predrilled
[20:20:57] <KreAture> 30mm spacing
[20:21:02] <Connor> 80/20 is the company who makes the extrusion like that..
[20:21:10] <KreAture> no
[20:21:13] <Connor> comes in 1" and 1.5" profiles...
[20:21:31] <KreAture> 8020 isa profile from many suppliers 80/20 is the company
[20:21:36] <KreAture> :p
[20:21:46] <KreAture> I use 6030 from a german firm
[20:22:01] <witnit> I would expect you to be able to accomplish the same thing with using steel and then maybe overlaying it with linear bearing rails and just make backets to butt the ends it would be
[20:22:04] <witnit> cheaper
[20:22:17] <KreAture> no
[20:22:18] <KreAture> not here
[20:22:21] <KreAture> Norway
[20:23:02] <KreAture> also the sides of the gantry is muuuch stiffer in profile than in plate and I get the profiles precision cut for free
[20:23:13] <KreAture> I may use a single tilted profile though
[20:23:24] <KreAture> a single profile is much stiffer than a full size plate
[20:23:43] <KreAture> you can stiffen the plate but that doesn't look very nice and it's an additional item
[20:23:52] <KreAture> I am however looking into how to lean it down
[20:23:58] <Connor> I would use a single profile at angle vs the staggered arrangement any day..
[20:24:00] <KreAture> Oh and yes the pofiles are lighter than the plate would be too
[20:24:07] <KreAture> yeh
[20:24:17] <KreAture> only reason I have not yet is it doesn't fit with the fastener systems
[20:24:25] <KreAture> also it will not square up automatically
[20:24:38] -!- zzolo has quit [Quit: zzolo]
[20:25:07] <witnit> choosing the correct linear bearing system would allow you use the rail as a key structural point
[20:25:17] <KreAture> yeh
[20:25:20] <witnit> or larger polished shaft rails
[20:25:35] <witnit> dual instal of one, so you can avoid twisting
[20:25:38] <witnit> and succh
[20:25:39] <KreAture> that is another thing I wondered about but I wanted to use the fully supported ones as I wanted to preload all axis
[20:26:10] <KreAture> right now the z is not preloaded
[20:26:14] <KreAture> x and y are
[20:26:56] <witnit> what materials are you cutting with this?
[20:27:11] <KreAture> I am pondering moving the Z rails to the back of the Y so they can be preloaded in same manner and offset on back of gantry
[20:27:18] <bedah> work in progress: http://imgur.com/i9Ta2tO :D
[20:27:21] <KreAture> mostly wood and some alu (I hope)
[20:27:38] <KreAture> It's overengineered for wood but I wanted it to be rigid
[20:27:40] <KreAture> hehe
[20:27:48] <KreAture> also I got a deal on the rails
[20:28:20] <KreAture> if I use the backside for the Z I can get the Z closer to the Y and reduce the overhang
[20:28:24] <Connor> bedah: Those standoff's pass-through ?
[20:28:29] <KreAture> That drops one of the beams for the offset too
[20:28:58] <KreAture> oooh another cnc being born ?
[20:28:58] <witnit> hmm, I think 50% of your crossbeams could be relocated to the gantry for better support and less vibration in the cutting head
[20:28:59] <KreAture> :)
[20:29:22] <KreAture> waddya mean ?
[20:29:28] <zeeshan> thats a lot of aluminum
[20:29:28] <witnit> it almost seems like too much down low and not enough for as high as it goes
[20:29:29] <zeeshan> for motor mounts
[20:29:29] <bedah> pardon me, i'm not that good in english.. standoff? pass-through? these are mountings for steppers for a cheap proxon mf70 mill
[20:29:30] <zeeshan> lol
[20:29:33] <KreAture> There is lots not shown in model zeeshan
[20:29:36] <Connor> bedah: If so, not sure how well they'll do.. they could torque a bit..
[20:29:52] <zeeshan> if you have that much aluminum

[20:31:10] <Connor> bedah: You might want to redesign then.. make your own stand off where bolts screw into them.. less likely to twist (torque) under load from the steppers..
[20:31:27] <bedah> yes.. found this brass skrews in another drawer ;D
[20:31:31] <zeeshan> those will definitely twist
[20:31:34] <Connor> It probably will work.. just letting you know.

[20:56:24] <zeeshan> you loosen the top screw and you can move the rod in/out
[20:56:43] <zeeshan> are you supposed to calibrate it every time using a surface plate and gauge blocks to make use of it?

[21:25:06] <Swapper_> anyone have any ideas on how to control a +-10v servo as a spindle drive? cant find any examples where anyone have done it.
[21:26:22] <cradek> Swapper_: can you ask a more specific question? there's nothing unusual or difficult about that setup so it's hard to guess what help you need.
[21:26:28] -!- garfong has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[21:26:35] <witnit> so like dc brush analog w/ tach feedback or what?
[21:26:39] <Swapper_> how do i handle the reversal of the spindle to send negative values ?
[21:26:48] <witnit> negative voltage
[21:27:02] <cradek> does your spindle go backward with negative and forward with positive input?
[21:27:11] <Swapper_> i can select whatever
[21:27:15] <Swapper_> in the drive
[21:27:30] <cradek> the spindle speed output from hal is just like that - you can simply hook it up
[21:28:37] <witnit> so the drive uses +/- 10v just output a scale of 0 no motion +1v clockwise 10% or say -5v is 50% counterclockwise
[21:28:45] <Swapper_> hum ok thaught that but i only got negative values when i tryed
[21:29:01] <cradek> maybe say more about what you tried?
[21:29:06] <witnit> what were you trying to do?
[21:29:09] <witnit> haha cradek
[21:29:11] <Swapper_> witnit: yea its comon on servoamps, all the axis run like this
[21:29:49] <Swapper_> ultimatley i want to attatch a pid to the spindle motor so i can get closed loop control over it
[21:29:52] <Swapper_> from linuxcnc
[21:30:06] <Swapper_> and after that get synced motion with the spindle running
[21:30:17] <Swapper_> but im lost at hal... :)
[21:31:14] <Swapper_> i got the other axies running and they are +-10v controlled (mesa 7i77) but the spindle dont seem to be configurable in pncconf as +-10v

[21:32:23] <Swapper_> but then i had to ask if anyone had any good .hal examples for a +-10v spindle drive

[21:32:41] <WalterN> hmm

[21:33:05] <cradek> hook up motion.spindle-speed-out to your dac, scale it so it's about right, done
[21:33:08] <Swapper_> maybe the other axises syncs to it
[21:33:11] <cradek> yes absolutely
[21:33:17] <cradek> you need encoder feedback
[21:33:17] <Swapper_> ahh ok
[21:33:32] <Swapper_> yea i have the servo encoder hooked up
[21:33:39] <WalterN> what was that website that sold a nice little collection of cheap automation related stuff (ball screws, linear bearings, servos, steppers, drivers...)?
[21:33:55] <Swapper_> ebay.com ? :)
[21:34:28] <cradek> check out the motion man page: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/motion.9.html
[21:34:43] <cradek> it talks about all the available hookups you might want to use
[21:35:13] <Swapper_> yea i tried understanding that...
[21:35:32] <cradek> have questions?
[21:35:42] * WalterN pokes CaptHindsight
[21:35:43] <Swapper_> whats the output for velocity called ?
[21:36:29] <cradek> find the one that says OUT and talks about spindle speed
[21:36:37] <cradek> there are actually two choices
[21:36:45] <Swapper_> net spindle-vel-cmd => hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.1.analogout5

[21:38:11] <Swapper_> http://pastebin.com/0SiuH5eW
[21:39:49] <cradek> looks plausible
[21:42:04] <Swapper_> its only sending -10v so it always goes the wrong direction
[21:43:09] <witnit> both pin 20 and 24 on TB5 = -v?
[21:43:42] <witnit> which is drive 5 section of the 7i77
[21:44:41] <Swapper_> 20 is AOUT3
[21:44:46] <Swapper_> 24 is AOUT5
[21:44:59] <witnit> right
[21:45:11] <Swapper_> using 5 since it should have a individualy controlled enable pin
[21:45:13] <witnit> 24 I suppose send -v no matter the direction chosen right?

[23:14:35] KreAture is now known as KreAture_Zzz
[23:15:50] * KreAture_Zzz need to finalize his cnc design
[23:15:55] <KreAture_Zzz> rails came 1 month early
[23:16:02] <KreAture_Zzz> now suddently I can build!
[23:16:07] <KreAture_Zzz> http://kreature.org/projects/cnc/linear_kit_itm301115860502.jpg
[23:16:07] <XXCoder1> awesom
[23:16:10] <KreAture_Zzz> love the kit
[23:16:11] -!- The_Ball [The_Ball!~ballen@202.10.92.134] has joined #linuxcnc
[23:16:26] <KreAture_Zzz> maybe not ideal with only sbr's but I think it will be good
[23:16:32] <XXCoder1> whats sizes? I guess its 300 900 1200
[23:16:33] <XXCoder1> mm
[23:16:35] <KreAture_Zzz> just need to utilize em well and preload all
[23:16:44] <KreAture_Zzz> 1000x700x300
[23:16:51] <XXCoder1> cool
[23:16:54] <KreAture_Zzz> no wait
[23:16:58] <KreAture_Zzz> 1100x700x300
[23:17:03] <KreAture_Zzz> I remember now
[23:17:03] <KreAture_Zzz> hehe
[23:17:06] <XXCoder1> lol ok
[23:17:19] <XXCoder1> how much was it if you dont mind?
[23:17:29] <KreAture_Zzz> I got em to set up a custom ebay
[23:17:34] <KreAture_Zzz> http://www.ebay.com/itm/301115860502
[23:17:40] <KreAture_Zzz> Really happy with the shipping
[23:17:42] <KreAture_Zzz> faster than expectedf
[23:17:46] <KreAture_Zzz> and I am in NOrway
[23:17:46] <KreAture_Zzz> hehe
[23:17:56] <XXCoder1> lol ok
[23:17:58] <KreAture_Zzz> Got package today
[23:18:34] <KreAture_Zzz> I paid 6'th march
[23:18:41] <XXCoder1> :) cant wait to start buying actual physical parts lol
[23:19:04] <KreAture_Zzz> I have been planning based on the rail dimensions
[23:19:38] <KreAture_Zzz> aka, hole distance is 30mm, predrilled, so I will be using 60x30 profile that will allow me to use the t slots for mounting
[23:19:59] <XXCoder1> nice!
[23:20:07] <XXCoder1> if I had more money I'd have went for 8020 also
[23:20:18] <XXCoder1> right now I'll just use scrap wood and stuff lol
[23:20:23] <KreAture_Zzz> Not happy yet though, trying to use profiles as much as possible as I get those precut for free and precision ground
[23:20:33] <XXCoder1> I gopt lucky and found high quality lamated wood in trash
[23:20:41] <KreAture_Zzz> my curent plan: http://kreature.org/projects/cnc/cnc2_12.png
[23:21:05] <XXCoder1> hmm one of rails is upside down isnt that bad
[23:21:25] <KreAture_Zzz> not when preloaded
[23:21:39] <XXCoder1> ok. definitely need to learn about that.
[23:21:40] <KreAture_Zzz> The plan is to "clamp down" by boxing the designs
[23:21:56] <KreAture_Zzz> That should allow rails to work with minimum slop and max smoothness
[23:22:06] <KreAture_Zzz> I do the same on the sides of the table
[23:22:34] <KreAture_Zzz> The gantry clamps to preload the guides
[23:23:14] <KreAture_Zzz> Bed will need to be a tad longer though, or travel will be limited by legs
[23:23:22] <KreAture_Zzz> hehe
[23:23:30] <XXCoder1> makes sense
[23:25:52] * KreAture_Zzz sleeps on it
[23:27:15] <XXCoder1> heh
[23:27:21] <XXCoder1> make cnc large enough to make bed
[23:27:25] <XXCoder1> and BE a bed lol
[23:28:37] <R2E4> Anyone have a post for Aspire with toolchanger?
[23:33:26] <XXCoder1> heh my kerbial ship is finally orbiting and lanbding in kerbin. those kerbians havent seen their homeworld for uyear
