[01:03:45] <anarchos2__> hah, almost bought a webcam at the reuse it centre (a used goods for charity store) $3
[01:03:51] <anarchos2__> brand new, in the box logitech
[01:04:26] <anarchos2__> then i noticed it had 320x240 resolution video, and only 640x480 stills
[01:11:34] -!- zq [zq!~p@tombartelt.com] has joined #linuxcnc
[01:15:00] <SpeedEvil> yeah - today you can get from china a 5MP webcam for $3
[01:15:11] <SpeedEvil> that has 320*240 video and 640*480 stills
[01:17:47] <anarchos2__> it wasn't the money, just the fact i'd inevetably buy a better camera soon after, and that one going into the trash (or back to the store)
[01:17:57] <CaptHindsight> the way it was explained to me is that the software is capable of 5MP but the sensor is 640 x 480

[01:26:14] <anarchos2__> i had a contour 1080p (a gopro competitor) and was talking to the contour guy when they had a booth set up here, and he told me the only difference between the 720p and 1080p model was they they upscaled
[01:26:17] <anarchos2__> same sensor, etc
[01:26:23] <anarchos2__> i demanded my money back :P

[01:52:12] <anarchos2__> how do i set the default jog velocity?
[01:52:33] <anarchos2__> DEFAULT_VELOCITY = 0.3 in the [TRAJ] section?
[01:54:54] <Tom_itx> http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config/ini_config.html#sub:TRAJ-section
[01:56:37] <anarchos2__> hmm
[01:58:25] <anarchos2__> what's the difference between DEFAULT_VELOCITY in [TRAJ] and DEFAULT_LINEAR_VELOCITY from the [DISPLAY] section?
[01:59:17] <anarchos2__> one says "initial jog rate" and the other says "the default for linear jogs"
[01:59:33] <Tom_itx> is the display section for manual jogging?
[01:59:53] <Tom_itx> when in manual mode i should say
[02:00:11] <anarchos2__> If i set the [TRAJ] one it seems to do nothing, but the [DISPLAY] one works
[02:00:50] -!- micges has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[02:00:52] <Tom_itx> maybe individual axis parameters are overriding the one in [TRAJ]

[02:09:57] <roycroft> yes
[02:10:00] <roycroft> it was a combined order
[02:10:01] <Tom_itx> combined shipping?
[02:10:03] <anarchos2__> ah
[02:10:14] <roycroft> and there was no automated way to handle it

[02:33:55] <anarchos2__> i'm dreaming of a mini mill sized mill made out of granite
[02:34:26] <roycroft> such things exist
[02:34:57] <roycroft> i also have seen an article where someone took a sieg mini-mill and filled all the voids with a granite epoxy
[02:35:12] <anarchos2__> yeah, that's what started me thinking about it.
[02:35:22] <LeelooMinai_> Is granite epoxy expensive?
[02:35:27] <anarchos2__> i figured why not make the base and column out of granite itself?
[02:35:47] <roycroft> you make it yourself, leeloominai_
[02:36:03] <LeelooMinai_> Well... from air? :)
[02:36:09] <roycroft> you get some epoxy
[02:36:11] <roycroft> and some granite
[02:36:14] <CaptHindsight> you can buy polyester resin for $35/gal at home depot, epoxy is ~$50/gal
[02:36:26] <roycroft> preferably in a fairly finely ground form
[02:36:30] <roycroft> and mix them together
[02:36:31] <anarchos2__> there's a 400+ page thread on CNCZone (i think) about epoxy granite
[02:36:52] <anarchos2__> would make sense for a large machine (or oddly shaped), but for a small one, why not use real granite?
[02:36:58] <CaptHindsight> the raw material for polyester or epoxy is ~$2-4/lb
[02:37:15] <roycroft> because it's really expensive, anarchos2__
[02:37:22] <LeelooMinai_> Hmm... I onced searched for epoxy on HomeDepot Canada, and could not find anything in big containers - only some tiny tubes of two-ingredient epoxy
[02:37:24] <roycroft> i've seen small mills made of granite
[02:37:27] <roycroft> well, seen ads for them
[02:37:41] <roycroft> i don't recall the details, but i do recally that they were very shiny and very expensive
[02:37:45] <anarchos2__> heh
[02:37:55] <anarchos2__> http://precisiongraniteusa.com/pdffiles/PGPRICELIST.pdf
[02:37:56] <roycroft> adding mass to a sieg with granit epoxy seems much more cost-effective
[02:38:12] <anarchos2__> even using this crazy precision ground granite it doesn't seem like it would be that expensive
[02:38:19] <anarchos2__> to build myself
[02:38:42] <anarchos2__> yes probably, but building one from scratch would be more fun :D
[02:38:54] <roycroft> especially if you used a cold chisel and a big hammer
[02:38:54] <LeelooMinai_> http://www.homedepot.ca/product/1-part-epoxy-acrylic-concrete-garage-floor-paint-slate-gray-379l/938962 <- that's not the epoxy you were talking about, right?
[02:38:54] <CaptHindsight> http://www.uscomposites.com/polyesters.html
[02:39:04] <CaptHindsight> http://www.uscomposites.com/epoxy.html
[02:39:10] <roycroft> you could spend a lot of time truing up the surfaces that way
[02:39:18] <roycroft> but you would feel really greek
[02:39:26] <roycroft> head out to the shop with a toga on
[02:39:33] <anarchos2__> lol
[02:39:35] <roycroft> and start carving your mill
[02:39:49] <CaptHindsight> LeelooMinai_: at home depot look for polyester resin by Elmers
[02:40:17] <LeelooMinai_> CaptHindsight: I think Canadian one does not have those items
[02:40:43] <CaptHindsight> or 3M
[02:41:08] <CaptHindsight> ahh Bondo brand
[02:41:22] <LeelooMinai_> resin and epoxy searches do not return anything that seems close

[02:42:10] LeelooMinai_ is now known as LeelooMinai
[02:42:58] <anarchos2__> a 24x48x6" piece that's precision ground to +/-.0003 is $778. Take that to a granite countertop place and have them slice it into 4 pieces of 12x24. Have them drill holes lengthway into two pieces 10" to sink in some expansion bolts, and drill two holes in the other two pieces
[02:43:08] <SpeedEvil> west system epoxy
[02:43:25] <SpeedEvil> google
[02:44:13] <anarchos2__> bolt together in an L, add some box ways or dovetails with a saddle
[02:44:31] <anarchos2__> for both X and Z, then just need to come up with a way to make a table :P
[02:44:40] <anarchos2__> easy as pie ;)
[02:45:17] <LeelooMinai> Yes, just use that expoxy and a dough roller

[02:46:03] <CaptHindsight> use plate glass for the bottom of the mold
[02:46:28] <CaptHindsight> cast t-slot right into it
[02:46:59] <LeelooMinai> Glass will still deform under weight - the end result probably won't be super-flat
[02:50:49] <CaptHindsight> http://www.walmart.com/ip/Bondo-Fiberglass-Resin/17130349
[02:51:34] <roycroft> i should think that the granite dust would be harder to come by than the epoxy resin
[02:51:53] <CaptHindsight> it seems to be getting harder to find, Loews stopped carrying it as well
[02:51:54] <roycroft> and it should not be too difficult to find granite dust
[02:52:01] <LeelooMinai> http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/polyester-resin-1993/6000079183847 <- all that is in Canadian Walmart
[02:52:19] <LeelooMinai> Hmm, 1 litre only - not very economic
[02:53:07] <roycroft> i'd figure that for an sieg x3 maybe 2L for the base and 3-4L for the column?
[02:53:30] <roycroft> now you want a high percentage of granite in it
[02:53:36] <CaptHindsight> http://www.compositescanada.com/product-catalog/resins/category/201-polyester
[02:53:40] <roycroft> i haven't read that thread in ages
[02:53:45] <roycroft> but i'd figure at least 50% granit
[02:53:45] <roycroft> e
[02:54:05] <CaptHindsight> http://www.marineoutfitters.ca/index.cfm?category=10060|10155&product=25607547&code=FG%20Poly%20Resin%20U%2FW%204L
[02:54:15] <CaptHindsight> oh more like 80%
[02:54:20] <roycroft> oh
[02:54:22] <roycroft> ok
[02:54:35] <roycroft> so you'd really only need 1-2L of epoxy resin total

[02:56:03] <LeelooMinai> That west system resin is $100 + per gallon
[02:56:25] <LeelooMinai> I guess repairing a big boat is not cheap
[02:56:32] <roycroft> i built a stand for my x3 out of 1.5" square tubing, filled with concrete, and 1/2" plate on the top
[02:56:34] -!- acdha has quit [Client Quit]
[02:56:37] <roycroft> the mill is bolted down to that stand
[02:57:02] <roycroft> i figure the stand is about 250kg or so
[02:57:22] <roycroft> that adds a fair amount of rigidity to the mill
[02:58:38] <roycroft> the granite epoxy thing would help for sure
[02:58:57] <roycroft> but maybe i'd be better off replacing the mini-mill with a bridgeport or similar

[02:59:49] <roycroft> shipping = $160? :)
[03:00:14] <roycroft> i think i paid more for shipping than my surface plate cost

[17:11:19] <SpeedEvil> bearing seizure can do it
[17:11:34] <jymmm> XXCoder: I have no idea on AC motors. I just see the cap and know there are "starting caps" on compressors/pumps.
[17:11:34] <SpeedEvil> does it rotate freely/
[17:11:39] <XXCoder> yeah you'd feel grind though
[17:12:03] <jymmm> but this cap is an encapculsated square box
[17:12:31] <XXCoder> well easy enouggh to open and find out
[17:12:45] <XXCoder> since it'll just get worse and need more hand starting

[17:14:19] <jymmm> but it's like 2" x 1", I think having to do with mounting it in the cage

[17:15:04] <jymmm> XXCoder: I did too, but they changed that now.
[17:15:11] <XXCoder> they reverted
[17:15:28] <XXCoder> my fan is the ugly stage with plastics and all. theyre back to metal now
[17:15:58] <XXCoder> the ugly one is warranty replacement for my older smaller all metal fan that died too early at 8 years old
[17:16:10] <jymmm> this fan is quieter than my patton one of the same size
[17:16:10] <XXCoder> and it by itself is now 5 years old
[17:16:39] <jymmm> five?! Ha.... try 20 =)
[17:17:06] <XXCoder> nice. my old one I loved it :( its smaller but more powerful. too bad it died :(
[17:17:52] <jymmm> Yeah, my little one died too. Then the repair shop fucked around for months, *parts are backordered", then closed.
[17:18:06] <XXCoder> did you in least get it back
[17:18:11] <jymmm> no
[17:18:17] <XXCoder> whaa
[17:18:22] <XXCoder> they stole fan basically
[17:18:30] <jymmm> pretty much
[17:18:52] <XXCoder> what if they got fan so good they decided to close biz to keep it lol

[17:21:36] <XXCoder> yeah at start iut always goes "I'm totally fine!!"
[17:21:55] <XXCoder> but evenually you will have to "kick it" each time, and later no worky even with kickstatts
[17:22:03] <jymmm> You know the fan I miss the most.... a 16" box fan. That thing was jsut awesome

[17:49:06] <FinboySlick> dewy721_: I don't know if it exists but it could be pretty cool. Would help make the linuxcnc box headless.
[17:49:50] <FinboySlick> There's webgl now and all the client-side stuff one could want.
[17:49:58] <Rab> You could make an HTML interface that sends commands to axis-remote without too much trouble.

[17:50:55] <dewy721_> I'm doing some recon for PocketNC . com we would like to setup a web interface since the machine is so small.

[17:52:48] <jymmm> FinboySlick: http/html
[17:52:54] <dewy721_> since it runs off of a beaglebone black, it needs to be light as possible

[17:53:19] <jymmm> FinboySlick: pffff
[17:53:22] <zq> what are the step rates for the bbb?
[17:53:42] <zq> assuming a stepper, that is
[17:54:02] <FinboySlick> jymmm: If it's designed to not rely on the browser itself, I think it'd be pretty cool.
[17:54:24] <jymmm> FinboySlick: While kludgy, there is keystick, and many other remote capabilities already exist.
[17:54:38] <jymmm> FinboySlick: and are not stateless
[17:55:09] <dewy721_> the hardware IO can cycle pins in the low megahertz range but so far 40khz x 5 axes seems doable.

[17:55:53] <dewy721_> yup.

[17:59:34] <FinboySlick> dewy721_: Not that I'm aware of but I think it's a cool idea if it can be done right.

[18:31:22] <CaptHindsight> if you have control over the printer and material then you can create an application to just take 3 models and press print
[18:31:41] <CaptHindsight> isn't that what the makerbot/autodesk goal is?
[18:32:30] <CaptHindsight> it's not printing anything precise, just a reasonable facsimile of object from a library
[18:33:12] <CaptHindsight> 3/3d
[18:35:06] <dewy721_> well it's a mill, it won't do much printing at the moment. Although, if you can model it in a sensible form the it should be able to machine it.
[18:38:44] <dewy721_> Where aiming at the market hole between 3d printing and big machining. Autodesk is indeed aiming to bring itself to both additive & subtractive maker markets.

[21:53:48] <syyl> seems to work ;)

[21:54:39] <PetefromTn_> Looks good.

[21:54:50] <PetefromTn_> Did you buy the bits or grind them yourself.
[21:55:05] <syyl> thanks :)
[21:55:13] <syyl> they are ground from 3mm carbide shanks
[21:55:19] <syyl> on the cutter grinder
[21:56:03] <PetefromTn_> Sweet. Looks like you made a few.
[21:56:16] <anarchos2> I'm so out of touch with PC hardware these days. Will a mesa PCI card work with all flavours of PCI?
[21:56:21] <anarchos2> like...if it fits, it works?
[21:56:40] <anarchos2> because there's all sorts of express x16 stuff that i don't understand :P
[21:56:41] NTU is now known as memleak
[21:57:03] <syyl> yeah, one or two for myself, and the others as giveaways to hobby machinists around here..
[21:57:23] <PetefromTn_> LOL well that leaves me out

[21:59:34] <PetefromTn_> Altho I may need to make one myself here. I usually use some single flute engravers I have here and they work for most stuff but those allow you to engrave on radiused surfaces which is nice.
[22:00:37] <syyl> thats the beauty of it, yes
[22:00:50] <syyl> and the incredible fine line it produces
[22:05:36] <jdh> I have a bunch of trashed 1/8" carbide mills you could grind for me.

[22:37:01] <Connor> anarchos2: the 5i25 will only work with the legacy PCI slot. the 6i25 is for PCIE, You can put a PCI x1 in a x1, x4, x8, x16 slot
[22:37:47] <cpresser> is there any particular reason to chose a 6i25 or 5i25 if you have both slots available in your system?
[22:38:02] <Connor> Nope.
[22:38:10] <Connor> The core of the card is the same.
[22:39:06] <Connor> The 6I25 can be completely software compatible with the 5I25 if 5I25 bitfiles are loaded in the 6I25's EEPROM, and its PCI clock is set for 33 MHz. This is the current default setup of 6I25 cards. Configured this way, the 6I25 will report itself as a 5I25 and will be completely compatible with 5I25 software. These is a small speed advantage and some additional 6I25 features available if the card is runs as a native 6I25. To do this, a 6I25 bitfile must be
[22:40:32] <cpresser> ah okay. thank you for that clarification. i think ill get a 6i25, mainly because i can move it to newer mainboards that dont have the 'legacy' PCI slot anymore

[23:45:33] <anarchos2> Connor, awesome, thanks for the info :D
[23:45:42] <anarchos2> will probably go for a 6i25

[23:46:30] <anarchos2> has anyone used a 3d print service before?
[23:46:44] <anarchos2> i think it's the only hope for getting motor covers that will fit my steppers
[23:47:26] <jdh> odd motors? slightly overize 570s?
[23:47:49] <anarchos2> oversized 425s
[23:48:00] <anarchos2> 60mm
[23:49:50] <anarchos2> I have a stl from Hoss of covers that will fit...just need to find somewhere to make them
[23:50:20] <anarchos2> shapeways.com wants $48/ea :(
[23:50:21] <XXCoder> well
[23:50:32] <XXCoder> making crappy holders so you can use machine to make em
[23:50:45] <XXCoder> thats a option
[23:52:58] <jdh> I saw some from .au I think. Connor made me some
[23:53:52] <XXCoder> anarchos2: or maybe has something in aliexpress
[23:55:32] <anarchos2> I have been unsuccessful in locating any
[23:56:04] <anarchos2> the company that makes the regular sized covers has some that will fit the 60mm motors, but are "out of stock" and have been apparently for two years
[23:56:20] <anarchos2> i've checked aliexpress, ebay, tons of google searches..
[23:56:29] <jdh> http://www.dyengineering.com/60mm%20Cover.html
[23:56:30] <Connor> anarchos2: Those are made out of aluminum and are WAY too expensive..
[23:56:56] <Connor> CNC machined from aluminium alloy
[23:57:04] <anarchos2> jdh: unavailable...
[23:57:10] <jdh> yeah. and pricey.
[23:57:26] <Connor> Plus, I like my design better.. protects the connector.
[23:57:26] <XXCoder> ana maybe consider new motors
[23:57:42] <XXCoder> compitable and much more common

[23:58:14] <jdh> Connor: it does protect it, but the cable angle also stresses the housing. One of mine snapped.
[23:58:32] <Connor> jdh: Really ?
[23:58:36] <Connor> Which one ?
[23:58:44] <jdh> my X
[23:59:16] <Connor> The cable or the connector itself ?

[23:59:31] <jdh> the glue joint
[23:59:35] <anarchos2> Connor, have an url?
