[00:18:36] <andypugh> This seems cheap (so far). It also looks to me to be MT3 with an adaptor:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390884311768
[00:23:07] <jdh> nice head. the very bottom of the tapper looks odd.
[00:23:37] <jdh> or taper.
[00:23:41] <andypugh> I think it’s an MT3 to MT4 sleeve
[00:24:33] <jdh> that was cleaned up with a grinder?
[00:24:44] <andypugh> I know how to CNC these heads :-)
[00:25:19] <jdh> what does the retainining ring hold in place?
[00:25:42] <andypugh> On that model, everything :-)
[00:26:23] <andypugh> In fact the grnding might be to allow them to get the feed mechanism past the sleeve.
[00:27:04] <andypugh> Later models had interchangeable shanks, that looks to have the MT3 integral with the body forging.

[00:42:50] <Roguish> back. now on new, linuxcnc computer.
[00:43:24] <Roguish> where's the best place to post the errors?
[00:43:45] <Roguish> pastebin?
[00:43:57] <jdh> sure

[00:45:13] <ssi> deciding what field voltage to use on 7i76 is a hard problem :(
[00:45:42] <jdh> 24
[00:45:50] <ssi> 24 sounds good on paper
[00:45:57] <ssi> but I have a bunch of relay cards on hand that are 5v coils
[00:46:13] <jdh> buy new ones
[00:46:13] <ssi> and right now, nothing in the machine is 24v
[00:46:18] <ssi> easy for you to say
[00:46:25] <jdh> sure.
[00:46:40] <jdh> for the laser?
[00:46:43] <ssi> yes
[00:47:11] <Roguish> ok. check out
http://pastebin.com/BG7QQSSx
[00:48:13] <ssi> hm actually these relays are active low
[00:48:15] <ssi> so it may not matter
[00:48:29] <andypugh> jdh: If money is no object (as if) then you could use an isolated smart-serial IO board on the channel provided, then every output could work from a different voltage
[00:48:42] <jdh> money is no object
[00:48:46] <andypugh> (sorry, I meant ssi )
[00:48:47] <jdh> since it is his, not mine.
[00:49:39] <ssi> money is no object
[00:49:41] <ssi> TIME is an object
[00:49:41] <jdh> Roguish: did you install from the live CD?
[00:50:03] <ssi> (god I've officially become old)
[00:50:16] <jdh> heh. same here.
[00:51:37] <Roguish> no. installed per instuctions in wiki 'linuxcnc on ubuntu precise'
[00:51:53] <jdh> did you see the web page referenced by your error?
[00:52:54] <Roguish> concerning the memory limit? yes.
[00:53:18] <andypugh> http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?LockedMemory does look like an unusually good clue. Normally the error reports are more cryptic.
[00:53:50] <andypugh> Did you make the change?
[00:54:43] <Roguish> tried to do it manually.
[00:55:06] <andypugh> I think that is the only way.
[00:55:27] <andypugh> Basically LinuxCNC needs a config change that can’t be automated.

[01:01:19] <Roguish> just did 'ulimit -l' and errors with 'command not found'
[01:02:52] <andypugh> That’s interesting.
[01:03:52] <Roguish> that was a 'sudo ulimit -l'
[01:05:04] <Roguish> now, a simple 'ulimit -l' (no sudo) gives a value of '64'

[01:06:03] <Roguish> lucky you. i'm a bit short.....
[01:06:31] <andypugh> Can you try the temporary fix on the web page, and see if that fixes it, then we can try to make th permanent fix work
[01:06:46] <Roguish> ok
[01:07:42] <andypugh> Though I have to say that it doesn’t work for me
[01:08:01] <Roguish> bash: ulimit: max locked memory: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
[01:08:23] <andypugh> And sudo gives “command not found” ?
[01:08:27] <Roguish> yes
[01:08:32] <andypugh> (it does for me)
[01:08:42] <andypugh> Who writes these docs!
[01:09:23] <andypugh> (Oh, we do)
[01:09:53] <andypugh> Might be worth trying the /etc/pam.d/common-session thing and a reboot
[01:09:56] <jdh> ulimit is a shell built-in
[01:10:13] <andypugh> But I think yo need a Linux dude, and I am a Mac dude.
[01:10:24] <Roguish> hey, i'm a mechanical, not a programmer, so i take most of this very literally.
[01:10:36] <andypugh> jdh: You get command not found if you sudo it
[01:10:49] <Roguish> sorry to hear about that Mac thing, maybe there will be a cure some day..

[01:11:34] <jdh> you can't sudo a built-in. It wouldn't have any context anyway
[01:11:36] <Roguish> take it away jdh. i'm all ears.
[01:11:57] <andypugh> Hey! Macs are shiny, I like shiny things.
[01:12:08] <jdh> shiny is my favorite color
[01:13:03] <Roguish> i'm here in the Bay Area, and we have lots of apple jokes, but i need help,so quiet i'll be.
[01:13:19] <Valen> missus has said she wants lots of shiny stuff in the new house, mainly because I only clean stuff that can be polished ;-P
[01:13:34] <andypugh> So, how do we fix the “not allowed” when sudo won’t work?
[01:14:05] <jdh> it should pick up the limit from limits.conf.
[01:14:17] <jdh> start a new shell and see?
[01:14:46] <Roguish> what do you mean start a new shell? a new command window?
[01:14:53] <jdh> yeah
[01:14:57] <Roguish> ok
[01:15:00] -!- sumpfralle has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
[01:16:49] <Roguish> ok, new command window with 'ulimit -l' gives '64'

[01:21:38] <jdh> it hasn't looked for hardware yet.
[01:22:27] <jdh> is there a compelling need to run this install vs. the livecd?
[01:23:02] <jdh> the pam fix + reboot (or restart session manager) could fix the ulimit thing. This is a module mismatch though
[01:23:09] <Roguish> no. i'm getting ready for a new project.. what is the livecd? that the hybrid?
[01:24:03] <jdh> pre-config'ed everything. boot the cd (or image), install from there. Makes a known-working LinuxCNC capable ubuntu install
[01:24:21] <Roguish> which rt?
[01:25:01] <jdh> mine is: 2.6.32-122-rtai #rtai but it is old.
[01:26:00] <Roguish> i can back it all out and go the old git method. i just wanted to mess with a new rt.
[01:26:25] <jdh> I'm sure that is a known issue. I'm not bleeding edge though.
[01:27:51] <Roguish> i can do an apt-get uninstall, and then use a different branch, maybe the v2.5_branch-rt
[01:28:34] <Roguish> would / could that make a difference or just spinning the wheels?

[03:20:21] <PetefromTn> where's that ssi guy I should drive down to Georgia and kick him square in the pants LOL
[03:20:28] <XXCoder> hard to explain but basically hes godlike AI in that webcomic. orginially he wasnt
[03:21:41] <PetefromTn> I thought that home built CNC stuff was addictive and expensive but it is NOTHING compared to DIY audiophile stuff heheje
[03:22:00] <XXCoder> heard audiophiles can get overboard
[03:22:17] <XXCoder> $300 bucks for one foot cable for 0.00001% improvment of audip
[03:22:20] <PetefromTn> overboard is an understatement.
[03:23:13] <PetefromTn> I visited a nice fellow today who has basically built everything in his living room completely from parts including the amps preamps and the speaker drivers themselves..
[03:23:41] <XXCoder> ow
[03:23:45] <jymmm> Ironically, it mae better sense to put the amps in each speaker, then run analog fiber to each speaker
[03:24:02] <PetefromTn> even built the damn drivers from parts selected carefully and the enclosures were designed in cad
[03:24:33] <PetefromTn> sounded freaking glorious ...
[03:24:34] <jymmm> You dont design speakers in cad you design them in an acustic chamber =)
[03:25:14] <PetefromTn> this Guy has huge awards for speaker and amp design all over his living room
[03:25:36] <PetefromTn> he has been into this stuff for almost his whole life.
[03:26:01] <PetefromTn> he actually holds patents for several designs.
[03:26:27] <jymmm> Eh, i bet I could do the same thing for one tenth the cost =)
[03:27:10] <PetefromTn> the most recent award we saw was like six feet tall and was dated 2013 national championship spl level for car audio. apparently he designed the subwoofers for some serious car audio junkies.
[03:27:13] <XXCoder> lol and for 0.000000000000000000000000123% less guality eh
[03:27:54] <PetefromTn> that's the best part is the DIY allow you to build shit you could not possibly afford
[03:28:11] <XXCoder> like cnc lol
[03:28:18] <PetefromTn> that's the addiction part LOL.
[03:28:25] <PetefromTn> yes exactly

[03:39:15] <PetefromTn> yeah of really is amazing how far back tube amp design goes and how clean the power is.
[03:39:58] <PetefromTn> we were listening to dual monoblock EL34 amps today that were Max of 15 Watts....
[03:40:19] <PetefromTn> I cannot believe how heavy those damn things are...
[03:40:53] <PetefromTn> I tried to pick one up and look at the bottom of it and it weighed a ton LOL.
[03:41:45] <CaptHindsight> it's an old debate, with the wide voltage swing you don't get the non-linear effects near zero crossings of class-B's

[03:42:24] <CaptHindsight> but tubes actually behave differently each time they turn off an on
[03:42:24] <PetefromTn> these were class A amps.
[03:43:03] <CaptHindsight> it used to be that there weren't any solid state solutions for class A and high power
[03:43:05] <PetefromTn> he actually told me he seldom turns them off.
[03:43:27] <Tom_itx> PetefromTn, there's a dude in another channel that designs car audio amps for a living

[03:44:47] <Tom_itx> circuits are put in place just to fool their competetion
[03:44:54] <PetefromTn> he says it is all overhyped garbage with high price tags.
[03:45:03] <Tom_itx> for the lead time it takes to make a new design
[03:45:25] <Tom_itx> highly competetive market
[03:45:43] <PetefromTn> I wish you guys could hear this stuff he built.
[03:46:33] <PetefromTn> his 10 inch custom build home Audio subwoofer weights like 28 lbs.
[03:47:34] <PetefromTn> he is working on a dual ten inch sub design to work with his sweet mid and high three way speaker system
[03:47:51] <PetefromTn> it is bi amped.
[03:48:19] <PetefromTn> has a custom built crossover for the mid to highs he designed himself.

[03:49:28] <PetefromTn> the only thing that was kinda cheap was that the speakers were prototypes and just made from some kinda MDF board until he finalized the design.

[03:58:48] <PetefromTn> he said pentode with cathode follower or something like that.it's his own custom design.

[04:00:21] <PetefromTn> he had a modified nakamichi turntable too that was pretty sweet.
[04:01:06] <PetefromTn> his whole house basement was a shrine to audio and custom speaker building equipment LLL

[04:03:49] <PetefromTn> interesting fellow he is also a fairly serious rimfire benchrest competitor. some nice anschutz 54 actions he showed me.
[04:04:16] <PetefromTn> I was like a kid in a candy store.

[04:11:18] <ssi> I've got a couple kimber model 82G benchrest rimfire rifles

[04:15:45] <PetefromTn> I am NOT a Golfer.
[04:15:48] <ssi> me either :P
[04:15:50] * jymmm is the former.
[04:16:13] <ssi> it's the active guys vs the passive guys
[04:16:31] <ssi> we all tend to be active guys, cause passive guys would never in a million years dream of doing sometihng so ludicrous as building a machine
[04:16:53] <PetefromTn> I am so glad you told me about your own home built system. I would have never met these guys and heard this beautiful sound.
[04:16:58] <ssi> heheh
[04:17:18] <ssi> so you still think your denon/kef setup is super excellent? :D
[04:17:50] <PetefromTn> of really is crystal clear with those amps. high efficiency speakers are amazing.
[04:18:03] <ssi> btw did he tell you what the power was on his EL34 SE amp?
[04:18:50] <PetefromTn> LOL I used to.. you might be surprised how good it does sound tho. but compared to his system is lacks a lot of high and midrange detail.
[04:19:10] <ssi> yea people tend to equate heavy bass with good sound
[04:19:22] <PetefromTn> he said Max 15 amps.
[04:19:28] <PetefromTn> sorry watts
[04:19:44] <ssi> sounds generous, even for pentode mode
[04:20:10] <PetefromTn> it has some rather huge transformers or whatever on there.
[04:20:27] <ssi> yep, necessary especially for SE
[04:20:38] <PetefromTn> the big ones were like six inches square.
[04:20:39] <ssi> the heavier the iron, the lower the frequency it can reproduce
[04:20:56] <ssi> transformers will be your #1 cost unless you do a big bottle triode
[04:21:06] <PetefromTn> man would I love to have a pair of those babies.
[04:21:06] <ssi> hell even if you do a big bottle triode
[04:21:16] <ssi> I only paid $200 for my 300Bs, but the iron for it will be about $400
[04:22:18] <PetefromTn> he said there are certain parts you can get a bit cheaper without sacrificing sound quality but some you just gotta buy good ones.
[04:22:34] <ssi> yep
[04:22:39] <ssi> transformers are critical
[04:22:45] <ssi> lots of people say caps are too
[04:22:56] <PetefromTn> he said he would give me a schematic for his amp since I am now a club member LOL.
[04:22:58] <ssi> some people aren't convinced :)
[04:23:09] <ssi> haha cool
[04:24:16] <PetefromTn> his stuff is more along the lines of it is not pretty to look at but he does whatever is necessary to make the sound top notch. I kinda want both...
[04:24:46] <PetefromTn> the amps are quality but no polsihed aluminum and brass etc etc.
[04:24:56] <ssi> I tried to make mine reasonably nice, but nothing crazy
[04:25:09] <jymmm> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGTbQuhhluY
[04:25:24] <PetefromTn> your amps looked nice man nothing like the warm glow of a tube amp LOL.
[04:26:06] <ssi> jymmm: haha awesome
[04:26:27] <PetefromTn> there are some absolutely gorgeous amps and speakers out there that are DIY built.
[04:26:53] <ssi> yeah man only golfers go out and buy $30k tube amps

[10:54:37] <archivist> there is a connect algorithm for connecting boxes that you could adapt to join letters or entities
[10:55:48] <archivist> happens to be on my box as I used it

[10:57:22] <JesusAlos> for what project you use?
[10:57:29] <archivist> I converted to php almost identical
[10:57:32] <archivist> http://www.archivist.info/erd/con2d.php.txt

[11:00:24] <archivist> from the books yes

[11:02:04] <archivist> there may be that type of chart in the books dunno
[11:02:24] <jymmm> I was just tryinng to figure out WHAT it is
[11:06:04] <jymmm> That's just a hella lot of code/maths for an org chart in comparison to
http://codepad.org/S2HOq9U9
[11:08:13] <archivist> it is a different language
[11:09:14] <jymmm> Wouldn't matter; It's still a a lot of math/code
[11:10:10] <archivist> you fail to see the language difference, it is probably very similar
[11:11:03] <jymmm> Did you run the code I linked to?
[11:11:20] <jymmm> err PostScript
[11:11:31] <archivist> there is no understanding line 12 for example unless you know PS
[11:15:10] <archivist> comparing obfuscated and shortened PS to commented C
[11:22:52] <jymmm> looks awfully repetitive.
[11:29:03] prtksxna is now known as zz_prtksxna
[11:33:19] <archivist> stand back and look at the block similarity in the ps version, I think it is the same algorithm
[11:35:02] <jymmm> Sure, for RGB, but not excessively so.
[11:35:52] <archivist> those 3 blocks are for the exit points of a box

This machine has a sort-of home-made BoB with ULN chips on outputs, and most of the inputs wired diect from opto-sensors.

[17:48:34] <IchGuckLive> hi fenugrec
[17:48:44] <fenugrec> Hi fellas
[17:49:19] <IchGuckLive> still all axes moving ;-)
[17:50:30] <fenugrec> I don't usually do this, but I want to clone a linuxcnc installation to a new HDD; apart from copying the filesystem what else will I need to do ? Update the UUID in the grub configs and in fstab; anything else ?
[17:51:04] -!- sirdancealot has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[17:51:18] <fenugrec> Plan B is to re-install from the linuxCNC live CD, and copy /etc/* and /home/* to the new install
[17:51:27] <jdh> dd(1)
[17:51:35] <IchGuckLive> fenugrec: plan B ias good to go
[17:51:35] <fenugrec> not sure which is faster; I'm allowing myself 10 minutes to think about it
[17:51:52] <IchGuckLive> fresh is 45min and you will get a full new system
[17:52:44] <fenugrec> ok, I'm almost sold.
[17:53:53] <IchGuckLive> dont forget to go to 2.5.4
[17:54:09] <IchGuckLive> on upgrat with synaptic linuxcnc only
[17:54:15] <IchGuckLive> to get the big benefit
[17:55:36] <seltecc> anyone in berlin using the xbox kinect for 3d scans?
[17:56:14] <IchGuckLive> the new Blender got a interface for direct stl to 3d printing at kinect input
[17:58:26] <fenugrec> Other topic : I would have a small patch to propose for /docs/src/install/Latency_Test.txt ; just a few words mentioning "hdparm -tT /dev/sda" as an excellent way to test worst case jitter
[17:59:08] <fenugrec> Where can I submit it for review ? do I file a bug somewhere?
[17:59:15] <IchGuckLive> fenugrec: do that inside develc irc
[17:59:19] <fenugrec> ok
[17:59:52] <IchGuckLive> hdparm might intersept the second core
[18:00:10] <IchGuckLive> you need to clean at grub to isoplus
[18:00:36] <fenugrec> IchGuckLive : what do you mean ? what second core ?
[18:01:39] <IchGuckLive> the HDD parameter intersects to multicore to get better access
[18:04:29] <fenugrec> not sure I understand. But on HDD #1 I had, max jitter would go from 10us to >500us when running "hdparm -t /dev/sda" ; now with HDD #2 running "hdparm -t /dev/sdb" has no effect on max jitter. This is one a single-CPU system.

[18:05:58] <pcw_home> if you have a disk transfer error rt typically goes south
[18:06:26] <IchGuckLive> sdb will not effect at all as sda contains bin
[18:08:36] <fenugrec> In my case, HDD #1 was promising after 1-2 hours of latency-test, but after 12h sometimes max jitter would spike up at certain disk accesses. hdparm -t just runs a representative (although extreme) test that allows one to find a problem that might not show up unless doing very long latency tests
[18:09:05] <IchGuckLive> you normaly dont run g-code at 2hr
[18:09:30] <pcw_home> look at the SMART data for drive #1, it may be failing
[18:09:42] <fenugrec> IchGuckLive: I'm pretty sure I isolated the problem. I can also boot from the liveCD, (so sda is not used by the OS), run "hdparm -t /dev/sda" and the jitter would still explode.
[18:10:24] <fenugrec> pcw_home : no, I checked. It's DMA-related I think. I tried deactivating or changing the DMA mode but hdparm doesn't work with the new ATA drivers
[18:10:45] <IchGuckLive> ok up to you
[18:10:47] <gene78> google says there are at least 2 gcode markup utils for gedit. Apparently my backup recovery is incomplete.
[18:10:59] <pcw_home> sure its not a interface CRC error?
[18:11:08] <gene78> where can I dl the best one?
[18:11:21] <fenugrec> pcw_home: SMART showed nothing of the sort...
[18:11:55] <IchGuckLive> gene78:
http://cnc-club.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=80
[18:12:08] <pcw_home> OK Just saying I have seen the same behavior with a failing drive
[18:12:24] <fenugrec> IchGuckLive: the idea is to have a system I can trust; with the previous HDD I knew sometimes the latency would be way off. I'm just suggesting that "hdparm -t" can be used to find this kind of problem reliably
[18:13:53] <IchGuckLive> fenugrec: so goto the wiki latency problems and write a note
[18:13:54] <fenugrec> pcw_home : it could very well be failing; it's an old IDE drive; maybe its SMART report just doesn't contain the relevant info.
[18:14:40] <IchGuckLive> im off BYE
[18:14:44] <fenugrec> IchGuckLive: parts of the wiki seemed to be copied from /docs/installed/Latency_Test.txt , I was thinking of editing both

G61 seems to help when the back-and-forth distance is constant, but for example if i run some test code with just a bunch of random little z back-and-forths and a dial i can see the home drifting all over t

[19:31:34] <r4ndomt4g> tried a bunch of different direction timing values, no change
[19:32:48] <r4ndomt4g> its frustrating because the drifting seems totally random even for the same set of code
[19:34:48] <r4ndomt4g> but if the z moves up and down by say a constant mm and G61 is on, there's no drift whatsoever
[19:36:00] <r4ndomt4g> the closed loop system isn't throwing any flags for missed steps
[19:36:52] <archivist> r4ndomt4g, another possibility is a dumb drive that powers down after x time, these can lose steps, is g61 producing less dwell time so stopping that power down

[19:40:58] <r4ndomt4g> optical encoders on the back of the steppers, i call it pseudo-closed loop because the driver kind of caches a certain number of steps but then just throws up an error if it ends up missing any
[19:41:04] <r4ndomt4g> at least thats how i understand it
[19:41:51] <archivist> that would tend to say you have a mechanical problem
[19:45:41] <r4ndomt4g> i've checked that out too and could still be the case, but the z is pretty solid and backlash is generally under 0.001". its pretty new and i keep it pretty clean and lubed, its just these crazy engravings with lots of varying z motions that i notice any trouble

[23:22:42] <andypugh> Loetmichel: The internet is not very helpful for the term “sweating like a pig”. Which is interesting. Bascally pigs don’t sweat, but this alternaive explanation here is even more wrong:
