[00:17:32] <zeeshan> s1dev: why wont that work
[00:17:53] <zeeshan> you'll only have a 1" range though

[00:20:08] <s1dev> removing the head from the body
[00:20:33] <s1dev> Yeah, I was hoping someone had an alternative
[00:21:09] <zeeshan> micrometer heads are fairly cheap
[00:21:34] <zeeshan> http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-Mitutoyo-Micrometer-Head-149-185-Machinist-Free-Shipping-/221433004040?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item338e6f8008
[00:21:36] <zeeshan> bid on that
[00:21:40] <zeeshan> ends in 39 min
[00:21:43] <zeeshan> i bet you can get that for $15
[00:22:31] <zeeshan> only does 0-0.5"
[00:22:32] <zeeshan> though
[00:23:55] <s1dev> 1" is barely managable
[00:24:20] <s1dev> although ebay is a good idea
[00:24:23] <s1dev> thanks

[01:18:33] <jdh> people tend to gloss over or skip things they consider common knowledge
[01:18:35] <CaptHindsight> lots of websites do it just to generate traffic
[01:18:52] <jdh> yeah, those really suck.

[01:39:44] <CaptHindsight> zmi: if you can't get it working from the Linuxcnc livecd your chances of installing from Mint are even lower
[01:42:20] <CaptHindsight> zmi: how about installing from the Spanish version of Ubuntu, then add the Linuxcnc repos and then install the Linuxcnc packages and kernel?
[01:43:19] <CaptHindsight> zmi: or choose Spanish when installing from the Linuxcnc livecd?
[01:43:56] <zmi> yes i have change language to spanish
[01:47:04] <zmi> what must I do for working on mint?
[01:47:12] <Valen> replace the kernel
[01:47:20] <Valen> not trivial
[01:47:23] <Valen> at all

[03:11:25] <CaptHindsight> http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ve/MLV-421958432-laptop-p2402-intel-core-i3-_JM this mentions Network Card: Integrated 10/100/1000 Mbps

[03:12:59] <CaptHindsight> all those years in the city you'd figure I'd remember some Spanish

[03:18:43] <CaptHindsight> does Ubuntu use pan0 vs eth0?
[03:19:49] <skunkworks> eth

[03:25:54] <zeeshan> what
[03:26:00] <zeeshan> i got a laptop today
[03:26:02] <zeeshan> its got bluetooth
[03:26:06] <Jymmmm> and?
[03:26:07] <zeeshan> had to disable it cause it was eating battery
[03:26:11] <zeeshan> :]
[03:26:27] <Jymmmm> BT doesn't eat batteries, somethign else is up
[03:26:33] <zeeshan> hm
[03:26:44] <zeeshan> seems to be much better with it off
[03:26:49] <Jymmmm> ppl have BT heassets on 8+ hours a day
[03:27:03] <Jymmmm> It might be, but it might be a driver or APM or something
[03:27:22] <Jymmmm> or a buggy driver
[03:27:27] <CaptHindsight> BT with long range on by default
[03:27:35] <tjtr33> Personal Area Networking Profile (PAN) allows Bluetooth devices to form an ad-hoc network, access a remote network through a network access point.
[03:27:43] <tjtr33> i never noticed
[03:28:10] <CaptHindsight> BT heated seat adapter :)
[03:28:23] <Jymmmm> zeeshan: Just saying that a normally operating BT doesn't drain batteries

[04:05:13] <FrankZappa> also we might buy coil and figure out how to slit and form it
[04:06:31] <FrankZappa> we have no real progress on DIY CNC other than a) 4x10 steel table b) plasma torch with whatever special version for CNC c) bunch of random pillowblocks, clamps, et

[15:11:46] <Gigs-> archivist was it you that was telling me the south bend we have probably does have a back gear?
[15:11:52] <Gigs-> you wanted me to send pics?
[15:12:09] <archivist> yup
[15:12:31] <Gigs-> anyway long story short, it turns out it does. We just thought it was a lock for the chuck. I found the spindle lock pin
[15:12:46] <Gigs-> it's the kind where you have to engage the back gear and then split the other gear by pulling out the pin
[15:13:21] <Gigs-> we have another bigger Enco that we normally do slow turning on
[15:13:51] Guest30715 is now known as md-2
[15:14:13] <archivist> dont think I ever saw one without backgear
[15:14:36] <Gigs-> it would be hard to change the chuck without it
[15:15:10] <archivist> it gets abused for that purpose too
[15:15:25] <Gigs-> I wouldn't call that abuse, I believe it's intended
[15:15:51] <Gigs-> it would be hard to damage the drivetrain pulling on the chuck with the gears locked with the backgear
[15:16:18] -!- valeech has quit [Quit: valeech]
[15:16:37] -!- md-2 has quit [Quit: Leaving...]
[15:16:38] <archivist> you may notice when doing that the gear drops out
[15:17:03] <Gigs-> what do you mean?
[15:17:40] <Gigs-> ours stays locked and nothing can move
[15:18:03] <Gigs-> all the stress is on that rather large lock pin
[15:18:16] <archivist> the back gear is in/on a rotator so rotating the chuck with back gear in works the rotator in one direction (oil viscosity)
[15:18:41] <Gigs-> hmm I think you misunderstand
[15:18:53] <Gigs-> if you don't pull out the pin that splits the right side spindle, nothing can move
[15:19:30] <Gigs-> I don't think they were all designed this way
[15:21:18] <archivist> to the left behind of the spindle see handle http://www.collection.archivist.info/archive/DJCPD/PD/2012/2012_06_15_Adcock_Shipley/IMG_1251.JPG
[15:21:54] <archivist> when rear back gear is disengaged
[15:22:39] <archivist> undoing the chuck also has the effect of tuning that handle to rear
[15:22:46] <archivist> turning
[15:22:55] <Gigs-> so you are saying the spur can cam the backgear out of engagement?
[15:23:03] <archivist> yes
[15:23:10] <Gigs-> that's never happened to us but yeah i could see how that would be bad
[15:23:29] <archivist> you have to hold it sometimes
[15:23:45] <Gigs-> I guess our backgear has so little use on it it's still tight
[15:25:13] -!- valeech has quit [Quit: valeech]
[15:25:51] <Gigs-> there's an issue though, both our lathes are technically owned by a guy that was just using the shop, and we are getting him to pull his stuff out

[15:26:20] <archivist> offer some cash ?
[15:26:40] Fawx is now known as FungiFox
[15:26:48] <Gigs-> are new manual lathes as good as the old south bend?
[15:27:04] <Gigs-> or put another way, what sort of price is one that's comparable
[15:27:12] <archivist> where can you get a solid lump like the southbend new for a sensible price

[16:02:53] <Gigs-> are you sure you are looking at the right pin

[16:04:46] malcom2O73 is now known as malcom2073
[16:05:38] <archivist> some pins are open collector, you need to add pull ups to 5v

[16:12:11] <RogueWolf33> Yes I am pretty certain that I am in the correct pin I have configured my stepping on pin 2 and X direction on Pin 3. If I understand correctly. I should see a fluxuation in voltage while moving the axis in question. Is this correct?
[16:13:08] <archivist> if you have pull ups if needed
[16:13:12] <pcw_home> you should see the direction pin change if you move the axis if different directions
[16:13:39] <pcw_home> you may not notice the step pin change if the step length is short
[16:14:29] <RogueWolf33> Archivist, I am not sure what you mean by pull ups
[16:15:23] <pcw_home> pins 2 and 3 are "data" pins so dont need pullups
[16:15:53] <archivist> there is no internal source of voltage on an open collector pin the user provides the voltage via a resistor from an external 5v source
[16:16:18] <Gigs-> another way to explain it is that an open collector pin is either connected to ground, or open
[16:16:50] <Gigs-> but none of the normal data pins are that way
[16:17:33] <Gigs-> rogue why don' you go low level and write a single byte to the parallel port and check the data pins
[16:17:41] <Gigs-> take all the cnc stuff out of the equation for now
[16:18:02] <Gigs-> if you are in linux I think you can just echo something to the device probably

[16:18:08] <archivist> cnc is the easy way to test the pins :)
[16:18:23] <pcw_home> Yeah first step is toggle a pin by hand
[16:18:43] <RogueWolf33> pcw_home, I am currently testing the direction pin and seeing no change as I try to move my X axis. Although, I am able to get a correct response when I choose the Reverse check box, all Voltage is reduced to 0. I believe this is correct. is it not?
[16:19:25] <pcw_home> OK so that means you have the port address right anyway
[16:19:58] <RogueWolf33> PCW please forgive me, I am more of a windows guy (Dont judge) I am not certain how to test toggleing a pin in linux

[16:24:13] <archivist> I fell foul of the assumption of pins driving I changed a motherboard and had to add a pull up to get a previous set up working
[16:25:40] <RogueWolf33> okay so my last move had been to reverse the pins. This put me at a 0 voltage. when I run the port test and click pin 3, no change
[16:27:34] <RogueWolf33> I find it odd that only after running CNC Do I see any change at all.
[16:27:51] <RogueWolf33> only by switching from reversed to regular pinout

[16:34:01] <IchGuckLive> the new 2.5.4 got a little triggy i think on the halmeter sometimes it fails to get the signal clear on the parport in
[16:34:32] <IchGuckLive> if i check homestate it works if i check the pinstate of parport i got fails
[16:36:52] <archivist> RogueWolf33, I use a real meter/scope to test pins
[16:37:36] <RogueWolf33> I am using an ohm meter to test the physical port, but what would you use to test the toggle feature to ensure it is working?
[16:37:48] <RogueWolf33> I believe that is the issue I am having.
[16:38:24] <archivist> I usually use stepconf step and direction, and scope the pins
[16:38:31] <IchGuckLive> RogueWolf33: did you test it on halmeter
[16:39:08] <RogueWolf33> Ich, please forgive me, I am a Linux virgin. I know not of this halmeter you speak of.
[16:39:20] <IchGuckLive> RogueWolf33: did you downgrade the speed in stepconf so you got good signaö
[16:39:57] <RogueWolf33> well some of the articles I read had me crank up the step signal to like 20,000 I think.
[16:40:03] <IchGuckLive> RogueWolf33: start your mashine and in masgine dropdown there is the halmeter

[17:01:47] <RogueWolf33> yes.
[17:02:11] <RogueWolf33> Brace yourself gentlemen, stupid question incoming
[17:02:17] <RogueWolf33> how do I apply it?
[17:02:25] <zeeshan> you should follow those instructions step by step
[17:02:25] <zeeshan> to install it
[17:02:30] <zeeshan> its in the README.txt
[17:02:52] <zeeshan> i'm almost 99% positive that your parallel port pins for some pins are always '5v'
[17:03:07] <zeeshan> cause they're just floating <- i don't know the fancy electronics term
[17:03:20] <zeeshan> i just remember having to install a driver
[17:03:23] <zeeshan> to make them do something useful
[17:03:26] <RogueWolf33> so after the update, you believe the issue will be resolved? okay let me give it another shot. I never applied the patch, I only tried to recompile linux.
[17:03:43] <zeeshan> yea, if you install it w/ those instructions, it will work
[17:03:49] <zeeshan> when you do lspci -v
[17:03:58] <zeeshan> you'll see that your parallel port will be using a driver called
[17:04:13] <zeeshan> 'OXPCIe952.o'
[17:04:15] <zeeshan> or something like that
[17:04:18] <zeeshan> OXPCI something

[18:29:43] <Einar1> I just bought Ebay item 180962604760. It will be interesting to test it. The touch panel is already lifting at the corners before they sell it! :-)
[18:31:36] <Einar1> But I plan on using the VFD for my 2column car lift and use the Omron VFD I have there now for the spindle. The lift have only a couple of hours per month running. And I will be there when using it, so if it blow up I can extinguish the bonfire quickly.
[18:31:58] -!- FinboySlick has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[18:33:05] <Gigs-> I don't think it's lifting
[18:33:20] <Gigs-> it's just not flush in the mount
[18:33:21] <Einar1> And I took the last 2 of these: Ebay 281134787215. I already bought one and found it is not a ball screw but a roller screw. :-) Much better!
[18:33:36] <zeeshan> einar
[18:33:39] <zeeshan> youre making your own car lift
[18:33:41] <zeeshan> ?
[18:34:09] <Gigs-> no he said he will trade VFDs
[18:34:21] <zeeshan> oh
[18:34:30] <Einar1> No. It's made in Italy. But I threw out the control and put in a VFD. Sooo nice when I want to lower it carefully to lift out an engine.
[18:34:37] <andypugh> It looks like a protective film on the touchpad to me
[18:35:22] <Einar1> We'll see. There will be a teardown when I get it. I'm really curious to check the ESR of the big caps!
[18:36:11] <andypugh> do I try to rewind my magneto, or pay a pro?

[18:36:18] <Einar1> The warranty is nothing worth due to the expensive freight, so I'll have a peek inside ASAP. ;-)
[18:36:22] <cradek> andypugh: why not both
[18:36:40] <andypugh> More likely to be the first then the second :-)
[18:36:43] <Einar1> 'Magneto?
[18:37:51] <andypugh> Einar1: http://www.geutskens.eu/neracar/images/PPL/9-Igniter/Igniter/14-Schematic-gec.jpg
[18:38:24] <Loetmichel> uh
[18:38:42] <Loetmichel> that magneto is _fairly_ old ;-)
[18:39:12] <cradek> looks like there's very good access to the coils
[18:39:18] <andypugh> That isn’t mine. That one looks to have been rewound. Mine is even older.
[18:39:27] <cradek> an old motorcycle?
[18:39:52] <andypugh> Indeed
[18:39:57] <Einar1> Ahh. Rewind it yourself. Check the # of the wire and wind like you would a winch drum except cross over for every layer. Point is that distance between wires that have high potential should be as much as possible.
[18:39:59] <andypugh> 1921
[18:40:41] <Tom_itx> another part of your restoration?
[18:41:05] <andypugh> One think I hadn’t realised until reading a web-page was that as you get further out you need to stop short of the pole pieces, or you just spark-out to them.
[18:42:18] <andypugh> Tom_itx: Yes. I was resigned to rewinding it, then I managed to coax a spark out of it, then it stopped sparking again.
[18:42:41] <zeeshan> 1921 what
[18:42:59] <andypugh> as it says in the URL, a ner-a-car
[18:43:00] <zeeshan> that looks like a harley or indian magneto

[18:44:20] <zeeshan> damn, the ner-a-car looks sexy
[18:44:22] <zeeshan> never seen one before.
[18:44:26] <andypugh> Also incorporating a 4V lighting coil. No idea where to get 4V bubs from…
[18:44:28] <Einar1> Make an insulator to keep distance to the pole pieces. Pieces of pertinax print with copper etced off is a good source.
[18:44:47] <zeeshan> use LEDS :D
[18:44:57] <zeeshan> or are you doing an original restoration
[18:45:08] <andypugh> I kind of want to rewind it as-original, with shellac and sheets of Mica :-)
[18:45:10] <archivist> andypugh, never allow them to spark across a large gap else they fire internally
[18:45:22] <zeeshan> http://www.motorcycles20thcentury.com/motors/normal/NER-A-CAR-350-ModelC-1925.jpg
[18:45:23] <zeeshan> so sexy!
[18:46:13] <andypugh> In a bizarre coincidence, Zultron also has one.
[18:46:50] <archivist> I fancied having one
[18:47:11] <zeeshan> http://www.bulbtown.com/4_Volt_s/573.htm
[18:47:12] <Einar1> archivist: Many coils have ben destroyed by being fired with no load on secondary. Then the insulation breaks down. Most people don't know and "test" the coil by springing too much of a gap.
[18:47:45] <zeeshan> 50 hour life on some of those bulbs
[18:47:45] <zeeshan> haha
[18:47:51] <archivist> I have many magneto manuals :)
[18:48:03] <Tom_itx> as well as many others
[18:48:11] <Gigs-> a coil should be able to handle an open secondary
[18:48:27] <Gigs-> it happens too often in reality to design a coil that can't do it
[18:48:50] <andypugh> The separate (rotating coil) style magnetos typically have a “safety gap” to prevent internal breakdown.
[18:49:46] <archivist> I missed out on some magneto rewinding data...sniff

[19:06:31] <zeeshan> would you guys ever do a 125 thou depth of cut in 1018 mild steel with a 2" 4 insert face mill?
[19:06:34] <zeeshan> =]
[19:06:40] <zeeshan> on a r8 bridgeport
[19:06:49] <zeeshan> ive been doing 70 thou cuts and it seems fine
[19:06:56] <zeeshan> curious to find out what the limit is :p
[19:07:50] <archivist> your ears will tell you, or the machine spits it out one side
[19:07:58] <andypugh> Depending on the feed rate 2” depth of cut might be OK :-)
[19:08:11] <zeeshan> what do you guys typically do?
[19:08:20] <zeeshan> <- trying to get an idea of whats 'abuse'
[19:08:20] <archivist> depends!
[19:08:21] <zeeshan> and whats normal
[19:08:24] <_methods> whatever you can get away with
[19:08:45] <_methods> drive it like you stole it
[19:08:52] <andypugh> I can’t really say, I am actually pretty new to milling, I don’t have the same “feel” as I do for lathe work
[19:08:52] <archivist> how strong is the clamping/machine/part/tooling
[19:09:12] <_methods> do you have insurance?
[19:09:16] <andypugh> How big is the key in the R8 spindle :-)
[19:09:16] <zeeshan> andypugh: im on the same boat
[19:09:23] <zeeshan> there is no key on the r8
[19:09:23] <zeeshan> :P
[19:09:29] <zeeshan> oh
[19:09:34] <zeeshan> i dunno.
[19:09:51] <zeeshan> i found a ISO30 spindle for the machine for 400
[19:09:58] <andypugh> R8 should have a key, I think. Nothing like the big dogs on a BT or CAT.
[19:10:06] <zeeshan> andypugh: most people remove em
[19:10:14] <zeeshan> cause when it shears its game over
[19:10:15] <zeeshan> :P
[19:10:26] <andypugh> So that the drawbar can over-tighten itself?
[19:11:04] <andypugh> I prefer the 30 taper, you can get the tool out with a lot less headroom.
[19:11:38] <zeeshan> yea and its got drive dogs
[19:11:41] <zeeshan> which makes is far superior
[19:11:45] <zeeshan> *it
[19:11:58] <andypugh> And you can make a proper pneumatic pull-stud
[19:12:19] <zeeshan> right now i'm just trying to figur eout if its even worth investing into a iso30 spindle
[19:12:24] <zeeshan> cause if the machine isnt rigid enough
[19:12:28] <zeeshan> then there really is no point

[19:38:15] <Einar1> I use my height gauges often. More often for marking out than for measuring. And for when I'm one hand short to use calipers. The digital one does not like to be traversed fast.
[19:41:05] <Einar1> Andypugh: I had a horizontal + vertical mill. It had the shakes when horizontal milling but was fine in vertical. Horizontal milling puts a lot of vibrations into table and knee.
[19:41:41] <archivist> better horizontals had straps at the font
[19:42:28] <Einar1> Yes, mine had straps, but was cumbersome to use. Also a lot of the shakes was give in the leadscrew and associated parts.
[19:43:24] <archivist> but they sure move metal
[19:44:37] <Einar1> Yes!! Now I have some huge paperweights, also known as slab mills. :-)
[19:45:21] <Einar1> I thought of cutting them in slices, reshape/grind and use as face mills.

[22:34:22] <MrSunshine> is it possible somehow to catch errors in classicladder ? =)
[22:34:41] <MrSunshine> like when doing a Z probe, if the probe move is to long and will go beyond the limits of the axis
[22:35:07] <MrSunshine> axis gui gives an error and cancels my ladder program in the middle of it, leaving memories set etc :/

[23:19:37] <andypugh> MrSunshine: I guess you could prevent that particular error by only probing as far as the axis limit.
[23:19:55] <andypugh> But it sounds like you are looking for a general solution?
