[12:59:30] <fenugrec> hmm... I was testing latency on a computer with the 10.04 live CD, and everything was going fine (~ 12us max jitter, 38ms max interval) until I tried running e2fsck as root on one of the hard drives. Then the max jitter instantly jumped up to 3ms !! Is this just because running e2fsck is a bit too aggressive? (before that I tried browsing the web, glxgears and a bunch of stuff without causing more than ~ 12-13 us max jitter...)
[13:00:11] -!- balestrino has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[13:02:37] <archivist_herron> it is a test to add to the list of nasty things to do to test latency
[13:04:07] <fenugrec> nasty indeed.... while e2fsck was running ("e2fsck -cfv /dev/sdb2") I could reset the latencytest stats and the max jitter would instantly go back to 3.8ms ... that's insane
[13:04:22] <fenugrec> Has anyone else ever tried this on a "known good" computer ?
[13:04:52] <archivist_herron> would you ever do that to a running cnc though
[13:06:58] <fenugrec> haha all the time !! No of course not. I was just "running the computer through its paces" as hard as I know how.
[13:07:14] <fenugrec> And wondering if that behavior indicates a real problem with this system
[13:10:20] <archivist_herron> one thing I found on a box was to grab the scroll bar in gedit with a large text file and scroll it
[13:11:32] <archivist_herron> there are so many things that can cause problems, I suppose a list somewhere would help, or avoid anything you can
[13:12:26] <archivist_herron> on one cnc I used to run a buildbot compiling while machining, that used to slow the forground but the machine was ok
[13:14:12] <fenugrec> ! pretty bold
[13:15:10] <fenugrec> I wanted to run a LAN fileserver but it's probably a bad plan
[13:24:24] <archivist_herron> networking should be ok as many use it one way or another
[13:27:28] <fenugrec> hmm I might try it after all. Maybe by nice-ing the server thread to a really low-priority level would be enough to avoid surprises

[17:47:08] <IchGuckLive> be shure no main power till signal power
[17:47:16] <kfoltman> then I can borrow a flight suit and a space on a carrier and declare MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
[17:47:30] <IchGuckLive> did you cionsidder the cheep leadshine 542
[17:47:40] <kfoltman> IchGuckLive: I've heard so, but those drivers I have seem to be idiot-resistant :)
[17:47:51] <kfoltman> I'm using them with pretty weak power supply so maybe that's why

[17:55:05] <kfoltman> the Irish engineering scene is very sparse, and lot of people emigrated to Australia and other better-paying countries
[17:55:24] <kfoltman> on the other hand, life is much easier here
[17:55:45] <IchGuckLive> today we got some low shift change in the Hospial area at USAFB and now 6 american move from town with tears in there eys

[17:57:57] <IchGuckLive> they going to south korea to my knolige or elswhere

[18:01:05] <CaptHindsight> it's sad watching the decline here, but most people don't notice, don't care or won't do anything about it
[18:01:23] <kfoltman> CaptHindsight: decline of what?
[18:01:32] <kfoltman> I would say "decline of entire civilization"
[18:01:39] <CaptHindsight> yeah
[18:01:48] <kfoltman> but I think US is declining faster than Europe

[18:09:15] <CaptHindsight> seems to be everywhere, lots of bad hops to get rid of, IPA's seem to be the "thing" now
[18:10:16] <CaptHindsight> I think it's like Starbucks, they figured out that most people don't know what good coffee is so they just burn it ...
[18:10:47] <CaptHindsight> so since they don't know what good beer is they just use lots of nasty hops and you have IPA
[18:12:07] <kfoltman> I don't think all of it is IPA
[18:12:27] <kfoltman> but then again, I hate beer

[19:54:45] <miss0r> I am no expert, but what do YOU think is missing?
[19:55:16] <LeelooMinai> My guess is that installing those rtai packages does not make the next boot to actually boot into new kernel
[19:55:55] <miss0r> LeelooMinai: it does
[19:56:18] <LeelooMinai> Well, I just followed those steps and it boots into generic one
[19:56:24] <miss0r> that is odd
[19:57:05] <miss0r> lilo or grub?
[19:57:11] <miss0r> (bootloader)

[20:01:55] <LeelooMinai> I guess I need to move it to the top there
[20:03:07] <miss0r> Do what is needed. Might I reccomend that you add both your regular and the rtai to the list, so that if the rtai failes you can load the default again
[20:03:29] <LeelooMinai> Yes, ok, It booted fine though

[20:09:00] <miss0r> Might I ask why you are not doing that?
[20:09:30] <LeelooMinai> I did, but it's so ancient... I thought at least 12.04 is a bit newer
[20:09:48] <miss0r> why ?
[20:10:01] <LeelooMinai> Why what? :)
[20:10:11] <miss0r> do you feel like you need a newer version?
[20:10:48] <LeelooMinai> They have limited support - when support ends there are no updated packages.

[20:11:25] <miss0r> the one I was just crying about:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyNd_WeGJNI
[20:14:04] <miss0r> What do you need the updates for? My thinking: the cnc PC is for cnc only. You do not want to install all sorts of crazy on it. I wouldn't even reccoment it being online. So: When you have something that is working, why fix it?
[20:15:32] <miss0r> I am more than happy to help, I just don't understand your reasons to do it, is all. :)
[20:19:34] <fenugrec> huh... just installed from the 10.04 liveCD, now it's auto-offering me to update linuxcnc and a bunch of other packages

[20:22:04] <mozmck> no reason to upgrade since it still works fine.
[20:22:35] <fenugrec> I'm not sure I understand step 5 (
http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/download ) , "connect to net & get updates. [...] Do not update the ubuntu LTS version !", that means I shouldn't update the whole thing to 12.*, or I shouldn't update anything at all ? (isn't the liveCD based on an LTS version ?)
[20:23:41] <cradek> we need a picture of that screen. there are two update buttons, one that updates packages for this OS version, the other changes OS versions
[20:23:47] <mozmck> fenugrec: there are a number of LTS (Long Term Support) versions.
[20:23:54] <cradek> you want to push the first one, not the second one
[20:24:20] <cradek> if you have the screen in front of you, and you can supply better wording to make it clearer, I would appreciate it
[20:24:53] <fenugrec> cradek: right, I see what you mean - top button says "New release 12.04 is available - upgrade" (I won't), the other is "install updates" (under the list of packages I can check/uncheck)

[22:22:09] <LeelooMinai> wantai dq542ma. I am trying to enter data from:
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Stepper_Drive_Timing
[22:22:23] <LeelooMinai> The dialog does really want to let me enter those numbers...
[22:22:28] -!- ravenlock [ravenlock!~ravenlock@enlightenment/developer/ravenlock] has joined #linuxcnc
[22:22:30] <LeelooMinai> doesn't
[22:22:54] <zeeshan|2> maybe restart stepconf?
[22:23:40] <LeelooMinai> Same thing
[22:23:52] <LeelooMinai> Damn... what kind of evil dialog is it:)
[22:23:57] <zeeshan|2> haha
[22:23:58] <zeeshan|2> so weird
[22:24:08] <zeeshan|2> maybe cliock
[22:24:11] <zeeshan|2> 'test base period jitter'
[22:24:16] <zeeshan|2> and then try? :p
[22:25:25] <LeelooMinai> Right, no...
[22:25:43] * LeelooMinai scratches the head
[22:27:03] <zeeshan|2> when you set other to
[22:27:11] <zeeshan|2> say..
[22:27:14] <zeeshan|2> gecko
[22:27:17] <zeeshan|2> what happens?
[22:27:18] -!- JT-Shop [JT-Shop!~john@162.72.138.27] has joined #linuxcnc
[22:27:28] <LeelooMinai> It grays all the timing inputs
[22:27:42] <zeeshan|2> you dont see any numbers?
[22:27:46] <zeeshan|2> when its greyed out
[22:28:03] <LeelooMinai> Seems like defaults are they, but freyed out and not selectable
[22:28:07] -!- aniM has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[22:28:07] <LeelooMinai> are there*
[22:28:15] <zeeshan|2> yea
[22:28:22] <zeeshan|2> it seems like a bug in stepconf :P
[22:28:26] <PCW> try 5000,5000,5000,5000
[22:28:43] <PCW> 100 ns times are meaningless
[22:28:51] <LeelooMinai> Doesn't allow me to type the first 5000 - reverts to 100
[22:29:32] -!- rob_h [rob_h!~robh@176.248.180.75] has joined #linuxcnc
[22:29:35] <PCW> maybe set the dir setup and hold first
[22:29:47] <PCW> (to 20000 or so)
[22:29:47] <LeelooMinai> Tried that too
[22:30:04] -!- dnaleromj [dnaleromj!~dnaleromj@98.124.126.110] has joined #linuxcnc
[22:30:21] <JT-Shop> zeeshan|2, do you have something other then custom selected?
[22:30:29] <PCW> maybe start again with reasonable numbers
[22:31:21] <JT-Shop> opps you have to select "other" to be able to enter timing numbers
[22:31:22] -!- theorbtwo has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[22:31:35] <LeelooMinai> I can only type arbitrary Direction Setup number. The other 3 keep reverting to 100
[22:32:09] <LeelooMinai> Yes, I use "other"
[22:32:28] <JT-Shop> what number are you putting in dir setup?
[22:33:12] <JT-Shop> let me back up, what version are you using?
[22:33:16] <LeelooMinai> Tried 500, 20000, 5000 - same thing
[22:33:28] <ssi> rgh... had to turn around and buy a $300 consumables kit for this torch
[22:33:40] <ssi> I assumed when I bought it that it used the same consumables as the 45a torches, but it does not
[22:33:57] <JT-Shop> the max number is 500000 for any timing
[22:34:13] <JT-Shop> so back to "what version"?
[22:34:18] <LeelooMinai> I cannot type anything above 100...
[22:34:20] <ssi> that makes it an $800 machine torch... approaching the point where it would have been more cost effective to buy a whole plasma system
[22:34:35] <LeelooMinai> It's the latest 2.6 one
[22:34:39] <LeelooMinai> I just installed it
[22:34:40] <PCW> Yeah maybe version or something else global wrong
[22:34:51] <JT-Shop> yea 2.5 works
[22:34:56] <PCW> works for me (any number accepted)
[22:35:12] <LeelooMinai> Maybe I can edit the file this dialog creates.
[22:35:34] -!- bertrik has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[22:35:59] <JT-Shop> of course and that is expected that you will edit it after you get the initial configuration up and running

[22:37:55] <JT-Shop> LeelooMinai, you installed from buildbot or RIP?
[22:38:00] <PCW> 2.5.4 and 2.7-pre seem to work fine (any timing number > 50 and < 100000is OK)
[22:38:46] <LeelooMinai> I followed this:
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?LinuxCNC_On_Ubuntu_Precise
[22:38:58] <LeelooMinai> Used 2.6-rt
[22:39:23] <JT-Shop> beyond me, I'm on 10.04
[22:39:45] <JT-Shop> please report your issue to the developer mailing list
[22:41:37] <LeelooMinai> any recommendation on pulse/rev setting for first config? My drivers have those switches:
http://i.imgur.com/FSgPfWj.png
[22:41:50] -!- FreezingCold has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[22:42:42] <LeelooMinai> Currently it's at 2500 - not sure if that is sane
[22:43:54] <JT-Shop> 400 = 1/2 micro stepping and I would start with 800 but don't go too high
[22:44:51] <JT-Shop> LeelooMinai, is there some feature you need in 2.6 or some reason to run 12.04?
[22:45:22] <LeelooMinai> Hmm, wait a minute. So that number that dialog is is not pulses per step?
[22:45:33] <LeelooMinai> that dialog wants*
[22:45:52] -!- Lathe_newbie [Lathe_newbie!~newbie@46-126-219-87.dynamic.hispeed.ch] has joined #linuxcnc
[22:46:28] <LeelooMinai> "The amount of microstepping performed by the driver. Enter 2 for half-stepping"
[22:46:53] <LeelooMinai> O, wait
[22:46:57] <JT-Shop> which number in what dialog?
[22:47:15] <LeelooMinai> SO the dialog wants pulses per step and my driver lists pulses per revolution I think
[22:47:42] <LeelooMinai> So I need to divide that by 200
[22:48:08] <JT-Shop> different things, first you get to the "Basic machine information" page right?
[22:48:48] <JT-Shop> and you need to set the driver minimum step and direction timing
[22:49:27] <LeelooMinai> Hmm... what do you mean different things... I mean this info on my driver:
http://i.imgur.com/FSgPfWj.png
[22:49:39] -!- FrankZappa has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
[22:50:07] <JT-Shop> that is how many steps per revolution not the step timing or how long a step must be
[22:50:07] <LeelooMinai> It's per revolution, while stepconf asks per step, so I need to divide what I have by 200 I think
[22:50:17] <JT-Shop> nope
[22:50:25] <LeelooMinai> Right, I am filling out Diver Microstepping field
[22:50:27] <JT-Shop> your confusing the two
[22:50:31] <LeelooMinai> Driver
[22:50:45] <JT-Shop> what page?
[22:50:53] <LeelooMinai> Axis X
[22:51:11] <LeelooMinai> I don't think I am confusing that
[22:51:16] <JT-Shop> ok on that page the key is Axis SCALE
[22:51:31] <JT-Shop> it must match the Pulse/rev on your sheet
[22:51:52] <JT-Shop> sorry no, times how many revs per user unit
[22:52:17] <LeelooMinai> I thought I will just give it microstepping and balscrew pitch and it will figure this out
[22:52:30] -!- mapitpk has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
[22:52:30] <JT-Shop> so if your pulse/rev is 400 and it take two revs to move 1 user unit then Axis Scale should be 800
[22:52:45] <JT-Shop> yes
[22:52:48] <LeelooMinai> For example, say I set the driver to 800 pulses per rev - that's 4 pulses per step, so I use that
[22:52:57] <JT-Shop> yep
[22:53:55] <JT-Shop> and your leadscrew pitch should get you the right scale
[22:54:10] <JT-Shop> you mm or inch?
[22:54:27] <JT-Shop> Machine Units?
[22:54:29] <LeelooMinai> I will use mm
[22:54:56] -!- dybskiy has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[22:55:09] <JT-Shop> ok, I'm just following along with you, what is your leadscrew pitch?
[22:55:23] <LeelooMinai> Just looking that up
[22:55:27] <JT-Shop> mm/rev
[22:55:45] <LeelooMinai> Right, I need to find the purchase info
[22:55:51] <JT-Shop> ok

[22:56:54] -!- mapitpk_ has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[22:57:02] <JT-Shop> that gives me 160 steps/mm
[22:57:34] <LeelooMinai> Yes, that's what I see too
[22:57:52] <JT-Shop> so 0.00625mm per step
[22:58:08] <LeelooMinai> Yes, I can adjust that later I guess.
