[12:10:29] <lair82> Good Morning Gentlemen, We have a big issue with main utility power in our area, frequent power outages, and was wondering what would be the best course of action to protect the pc's in my machines. Over the weekend we we had a decent storm come thru, and this morning all of the machines were off. When it came to the one turning center with linux on it, I couldn't get it to start, it won't boot up.
[12:11:20] <Tom_itx> good surge protectors along with a UPS
[12:11:39] <lair82> I cycled the power, and now it won't even attempt to start. I'm thinking the MB is torched. I see DIN rail mount surge protectors, is that the way to go?
[12:15:40] -!- md-2 has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[12:16:15] <lair82> Could I use a snubber, such as PN# RCS2A-18 to help protect the MB with the over voltage issue. I have a ton of those laying around, here is a spec sheet, http://www.galco.com/techdoc/rkel/rcs2a-18_dat.pdf

[12:49:39] <archivist_herron> I had a cheap psu explode while testing a job, I think the vibration of the stepper on the bench rattled it apart
[12:50:42] <skunkworks> I think I had bought about 5 of them and after the first 3 went - I went out and found the rest and replaced them. I have never had any other supply fail like that.
[12:51:07] <skunkworks> must have forgot to put crowbars in them or something
[12:51:26] <skunkworks> I have to say - the where very light :)
[12:51:33] <skunkworks> they
[12:55:36] <archivist_herron> I think they skimp on everything in the cheaper supplies
[12:57:34] <skunkworks> I have been buying 'diablotek' supplies for a while now - no issues. (they are <$50)

It didn't look that way when I kept trying to get the MB to start. Thanks for the help guys, but I think I still need to address the power issue with the surge problems.

[15:31:32] <ssi> morn pete
[15:31:39] <ssi> late morn anyway :)
[15:34:33] <PetefromTn_> Hey man hows it goin?
[15:34:46] <ssi> I'm beat
[15:34:46] <Connor> Hey PetefromTn_
[15:34:58] <Connor> How did the rest of the night go ?
[15:35:10] <ssi> pretty well
[15:35:12] <PetefromTn_> yeah me too I am really tired..
[15:35:56] <PetefromTn_> we managed to get both of the spindle pullies drilled and tapped on your little fourth axis in the VMC..
[15:35:57] <ssi> I got home about 3:15, got to bed at 4:30
[15:36:05] <PetefromTn_> damn..
[15:36:08] <Connor> My Right Arm, Shoulder and Neck are killing me.. Always bad when I first get up.. wish this pinched nerve would go away.
[15:36:28] <Connor> PetefromTn_: Nice. How well did it work ?
[15:36:31] <PetefromTn_> yeah man sorry you were having such physical issues..
[15:36:39] <PetefromTn_> how did what work?
[15:36:42] <ssi> I think you might want to remake that spacer in steel eventually
[15:36:50] <Connor> The Turn table.
[15:36:57] <ssi> it flexes visibly under drill pressure
[15:36:57] <roycroft> hey folks
[15:37:12] <Connor> Damn. That sucks.
[15:37:13] <PetefromTn_> yeah it flexes downward under the drill pressure unfortunately..
[15:37:16] <roycroft> so i'm still working on fitting the support bearins on my ball screws
[15:37:26] <roycroft> well, i just started that this weekend
[15:37:38] <PetefromTn_> it could be those tee nuts they give you I was thinking last night..
[15:37:39] <roycroft> with the 350mm ball screw i have two choices:
[15:37:48] <roycroft> 1. remove the nut and chuck it in the lathe
[15:37:48] <PetefromTn_> aren't they sheetmetal or something?
[15:38:04] <roycroft> 2. chuck it in a drill
[15:38:28] <Connor> I don't think so.. They' look like steel.. but, the do have a upper part that's just round...
[15:38:55] <roycroft> i just need to take a tiny bit off the shaft - i was going to use 1000 grit sandpaper - so that it's a slip fit intead of a press fit
[15:39:05] <roycroft> would using a drill be all that bad?
[15:39:09] <PetefromTn_> yeah I know I wondered if between the largish chuck and the double spacers we machined there is just too much leverage and they might be flexing a little? I dunno it worked tho
[15:39:29] <ssi> roycroft: no that'd be fine... you could also just do that by hand; you won't remove enough material with sandpaper to affect the roundness
[15:39:32] <Connor> Drilling is a hard operation.
[15:39:43] <roycroft> that's what i was thinking, ssi
[15:39:45] <ssi> Connor: it's usable as is
[15:39:54] <ssi> Connor: you'll just want to think about making a steel one at some point
[15:39:57] <Connor> with something cantilevered out that much..
[15:40:08] <ssi> and maybe coming up with another way to do those screws so it can be shorter
[15:40:10] <PetefromTn_> yeah we drilled and tapped all the holes with it no problem.
[15:40:12] <roycroft> and from what i've found out about those nuts (they don't have the return tubes - they have the plastic guide "plugs") i really want to avoid removing a nut
[15:40:20] <Connor> Cool.
[15:40:30] <Loetmichel> hmm, mountzing itz in the lathe isnt an option?
[15:40:36] <PetefromTn_> Honestly after using it and seeing it in the machine I am kinda wanting a fourth axis even more now LOL
[15:40:47] <Connor> I need to talk to my doctor about the over-heating issue I'm having.. I swear..
[15:40:58] <roycroft> i suppose i could mount the short one with the nut in front of the chuck
[15:41:02] <Loetmichel> with the help of copper wire wound in the thread to use the bottom of the thread as center, not the top of the thread?
[15:41:09] <PetefromTn_> It worked out good and sat above the kurt vise actually... Pretty cool really.
[15:41:21] <PetefromTn_> If it were an eight incher you might not be getting it back ;)
[15:41:36] <Connor> Cool. I wish I could have saw it in action.. and saw how you set it up..
[15:41:41] <ssi> roycroft: just wrap some masking tape around the nut to hold it in position on the screw if you're gonna spin it in the lathe
[15:41:46] <roycroft> yeah
[15:41:53] <ssi> Connor: it's still set up prolly, you can likely get pete to send you a picture :)
[15:42:02] <Loetmichel> ... and a second person on the back of the lathe with a piece of cloth holding the end of the thread so it cant "swing up"
[15:42:24] <ssi> or a spider on the back of the spindle
[15:42:27] <PetefromTn_> its dead simple really. Bolted it to that large angle plate, bolted that plate down to the table in the machine, and then indicated along the Y axis behind the rotab edge to be square to the axis...
[15:42:28] <roycroft> i don't have a second person to help
[15:42:34] <roycroft> but i do have the rear support bearing
[15:42:36] <Connor> Probably a little funny looking tiny 4" table in that large machine. ;)
[15:42:47] <roycroft> i'm going to attach that to the long screws, and clamp it to something
[15:42:49] <PetefromTn_> meh it did the job
[15:43:02] <PetefromTn_> your pulley is here and drilled and tapped LOL
[15:43:02] <ssi> I need to find a chuck for my 6" table
[15:43:15] <PetefromTn_> yeah and then donate it to my favorite charity LOL
[15:43:25] <Loetmichel> if you want to turn the bearing sits on the end of the ballscrew i would use the copper wire every time
[15:43:27] <ssi> Connor: the 3 holes in the spindle pulley worked out GREAT
[15:43:34] <ssi> all three set screws engage a spline
[15:43:37] -!- Lathe_newbie has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[15:43:37] <ssi> and they all fell in a valley
[15:43:42] <Loetmichel> the outer diameter is mearly never concentric to the thread!
[15:43:42] <Connor> What was the proses of lining up the Y axis to the center of the chuck ?
[15:43:59] <Connor> ssi Great! :)
[15:44:01] <ssi> putting a bar in the jaws and center finding it
[15:44:01] <PetefromTn_> oh just put the ground rod in the chuck and used my edgefinder.
[15:44:13] <PetefromTn_> on both sides to find the center..
[15:44:20] <PetefromTn_> piece of crumb cake.
[15:44:23] <ssi> :)
[15:44:40] <Connor> Yea, nothing ever works out that easily for me.
[15:44:51] <PetefromTn_> I really enjoyed having you guys here this weekend and it was very nice to meet you finally in person SSI.
[15:44:56] <ssi> roycroft: I turned all the bearing journals on my ballscrews by fixturing them in a 5C collet in a spin index and spinning them on my surface grinder
[15:45:08] <ssi> PetefromTn_: likewise, I had a great time, and we got a lot done
[15:45:13] <PetefromTn_> I am so pleased my spindle encoder is finally installed.
[15:45:18] <ssi> Connor: thanks for the help; I hope I can get this machine going soon
[15:45:20] <PetefromTn_> yeah I think we did okay.
[15:45:27] <PetefromTn_> Maybe we can do it again sometime.
[15:45:46] <ssi> yeah
[15:45:49] <Connor> I think we did good. Got two of my projects done, Three for SSI, and one for you pete.
[15:45:58] <PetefromTn_> yup
[15:46:13] <PetefromTn_> that spindle encoder was very important to me and it looks great.
[15:46:14] <ssi> that tophat is definitely crooked
[15:46:18] <ssi> I may have to remake it
[15:46:22] <Connor> wait, not 4 for SSI.
[15:46:25] <PetefromTn_> I know damn that suck.
[15:46:26] <Connor> Is it.. Dang.
[15:46:32] <ssi> it's no big deal
[15:46:37] <ssi> gives me incentive to get the hardinge going
[15:46:47] <PetefromTn_> how did you crash the tool in it?
[15:46:47] <ssi> I can make that part in one operation on the hardinge
[15:47:00] <PetefromTn_> yup simple part really.
[15:47:09] <ssi> should have been running MUCH slower for the first threading pass
[15:47:11] <PetefromTn_> just that funky internal fine thread up to a shoulder.
[15:47:12] <ssi> it hit the bottom of the bore
[15:47:18] <PetefromTn_> aah okay.
[15:47:36] <Connor> Pete, look around for my Pin Wrench when you get a chance.. I can't find it.. I thought it was in the Car, or at home.. but.. I may have pulled it out First Day I was there..
[15:47:41] <PetefromTn_> I usually go from inside out when I do a shoulder like that. Use a Dail indicator to know where to start.
[15:48:06] <PetefromTn_> I already cleaned up the whole shop and never saw anything that was not mine.
[15:48:16] <PetefromTn_> but I will look again.
[15:48:22] <Connor> ssi: You could bore it out a tad more.. and maybe use set screws to hold it in.
[15:48:48] <ssi> it's no biggie; I think it'll work as is, and if not, I can remake it
[15:48:57] <ssi> PetefromTn_: I'm not sure I had the option to run it inside out
[15:49:21] <PetefromTn_> why?
[15:49:26] <ssi> with the tool facing toward the operator, running inside out would give you a left thread
[15:49:32] <ssi> and that tool couldn't be used the other direction
[15:49:47] <ssi> would have had to grind another threading tool
[15:49:51] <PetefromTn_> huh I would have to look at it myself.
[15:49:59] <archivist> put tool upside down to reverse cut
[15:50:03] <PetefromTn_> I will take your word for it tho.
[15:50:07] <Connor> flip the tool over, and and run it on the backside of the part.
[15:50:12] <PetefromTn_> yeah there you go..
[15:50:29] <PetefromTn_> I am sure I have done it before..
[15:50:32] <ssi> I don't think that'll work either
[15:50:45] <ssi> if you flip it over and run it on the back side, you'll still have to turn the spindle the same way

[15:50:47] <PetefromTn_> I have turned lots of threads internal and external on that lathe.
[15:50:49] <ssi> and it'll still be a left thread
[15:50:53] <archivist> but working up to a shoulder is a linuxcnc speciality
[15:51:06] <ssi> archivist: if only linuxcnc had been giving me a hand on that one ;)
[15:51:08] <PetefromTn_> LOL too bad its not a CNC lathe..
[15:51:27] <ssi> PetefromTn_: better order them servos! :)
[15:51:28] <jdh> it could be
[15:51:41] <ssi> nah just throw it on a trailer and bring it down, and lets go get that turning center
[15:51:44] <PetefromTn_> naah... I am going to sell it and buy a commercial machine.
[15:51:53] <PetefromTn_> Now you're talking...

[17:25:01] <cpresser_> yes, there are tow-trucks in germany as well. but I dont own one^^
[17:25:48] <CaptHindsight> I've moved several machines that size without any forklift
[17:25:53] <cpresser_> but i could ask a towing company to arrange the transport^^
[17:25:55] <ssi> yeah that's how we moved my bridgeport
[17:26:21] <CaptHindsight> use the winch to slide it up and down
[17:26:42] <cpresser_> trucks with a lift are quite common here: http://nordmanoever.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/lkw-mit-hebebuhne-17.jpg but i am not allowed to drive them :/

[17:27:13] <CaptHindsight> use ~30mm solid rounds or skates to move it
[17:28:02] <cpresser_> once its on a pallet, i can move it with a device like this: http://www.hebezeug-service-haase.de/images/produkte/gabelhubwagen2.jpg
[17:28:23] <Jymmm> cpresser_: That's a pallet jack (fyi)
[17:28:38] <CaptHindsight> even easier if you have one
[17:28:47] <cpresser_> Jymmm: thx. we have like 10 different names for that in germany :P
[17:28:56] <ssi> cpresser_: it's already more or less skidded
[17:28:58] <ssi> the arm is anyway
[17:29:02] <ssi> so is the cabinet
[17:29:07] <ssi> so you can move them as is with a pallet jack
[17:29:10] <Jymmm> cpresser_: We have manual ones, electric ones, etc in the states.
[17:29:51] <CaptHindsight> in the old days they would use 1-2 heavy slaves to grease the path (after crushing)

[17:31:12] <CaptHindsight> that might have been the pyramids but you get the point
[17:31:33] <cpresser_> yes. i only need friends with free time for that :)
[17:31:33] <Jymmm> cpresser_: If you have to move in a place with tight constraints, you can use solid rod bars, to strong pipe. Just have a bunch of rods, get one underneith, place one about 3" in front of it and keep doing this to the path where you eventually want the mill to be. Like This sorts o o o o o o o o
[17:32:06] <Jymmm> cpresser_: It's how we used to move safes.
[17:32:07] <cpresser_> Jymmm: i did that with my laser-cutter. with 20mm pipe as rollers
[17:32:15] <cpresser_> like the pyramids :)

[18:53:18] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: Over than a given. What machine isn't going to have a flat bottom that sits/mounts to the ground?
[18:53:19] <Jymmm> s/over/other/
[18:54:23] <archivist> lots just have feet/legs of some sort
[18:54:23] <CaptHindsight> http://www.machineryskates.com/img/slider/slide3.jpg maybe some thing like this where the bottom isn
[18:54:34] <Jymmm> ah
[18:54:41] <archivist> I put planks between legs/feet to allow use of rollers
[18:55:46] <Jymmm> Yeah, that's what I would do.
[18:55:58] <Loetmichel> a lathe for example
[18:56:03] <Loetmichel> or one that has machine feet
[18:56:34] <Jymmm> couple of 2x6's would seem to do the job
[18:57:16] <archivist> I use builders planks, nice and wide
[18:58:03] <Jymmm> We're talking a one-off move. Unless I could borrow those fancy $200+ dollys/jacks, it's probably not gonna happen.
[19:00:10] <Jymmm> I guess one could use those car dolllys that sit under the tires
[19:01:28] <Jymmm> Something liek this: http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/400/464/464-2-1016-35.jpg or this http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/210191567/Wheel_dollies.jpg
[19:01:44] <Jymmm> (load distributed)
[19:03:58] <Loetmichel> Jymmm: whre is the problem to bend some 10mm steel plate and get a bunch of 6001 bearings and a bit of fitting round stock and make the dollys yourself?
[19:04:05] <Loetmichel> its no wizardry
[19:04:19] <Jymmm> I sorta like these dues to the tubular steel, you could connect them together by slipping a smaller tube inside and use a hitch pin or bolt. http://www.northerntool.com/images/product/2000x2000/148/148803_2000x2000.jpg
[19:04:28] <Loetmichel> or use fitting u-steel snipplets
[19:04:36] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: I can't picture what you just descrbied.
[19:05:02] <Loetmichel> U steel, drill 4 28 mm holes in the sides
[19:05:12] <Loetmichel> flanges
[19:05:16] <Loetmichel> 2 left, 2 right
[19:05:38] <Loetmichel> on the late, take 30mm round steel, make 10mm shafts on the ends
[19:06:03] <Loetmichel> press one side bearing in, out the 20mm "wheel" in , press the other bearing in
[19:06:04] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: No lathe for one.
[19:06:21] <Tom_itx> what are you moving?
[19:06:29] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: Nothing
[19:06:37] <Tom_itx> unfortunately the interweb was unplugged here all morning
[19:07:19] <Loetmichel> so use some fitting pipe and a 10mm round stock
[19:07:26] <Loetmichel> to get the middle up to 30mm
[19:08:00] <Loetmichel> i.e some 30mm pipe, then some pipe that fits snug in there, down to 10mm inner diameter
[19:08:19] <Loetmichel> and put the 10mm round stock thru the bearings AND the tubes
[19:08:21] <Loetmichel> works also

[19:09:56] <Loetmichel> just by the wideness of the u steel
[19:10:16] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: And how much does this all cost if none of it is on hand?
[19:10:25] <Loetmichel> a few quid
[19:10:34] <Loetmichel> the bearings are less than 2 eur each
[19:10:44] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: and what prevents the bearings from coming off?
[19:11:07] <Loetmichel> the pressure needed to press them into the u profile
[19:11:40] <Jymmm> Sounds too complex. I'll stick with plank and dowels.
[19:11:46] <Loetmichel> but you can use M10 *150 screws in there and a nut to prevent the "shaft" from coming out
[19:12:00] <Loetmichel> do as you whisch

[21:58:57] <anarchos2> hi
[21:59:42] <anarchos2> so i bought a touch plate, hooked it up and it works somewhat (i can see the pin working in halshow) but i'm at a loss at how to actually do it....
[21:59:52] tronwzrd is now known as tronwizard
[22:01:06] <anarchos2> basically it has two wires, one hooked into a 5V source, one hooked into paraport pin 15. then on the plate side there's the plate which is connected to the wire that goes into pin 15, then the other wire is an alligator clip.
[22:01:53] <anarchos2> i'm assuming i'm suppost to hook the aligator clip into my spindle or wherever, so when the took touches it completes the circuit...but when i do that my limit switches get errors and my Z axis twitches...
[22:05:40] <CaptHindsight> anarchos2: is anything else connected to pin 15?
[22:06:29] <CaptHindsight> anarchos2: in your HAL file or in any other way? (used for a limit or home switch, etc etc)
[22:07:20] <CaptHindsight> anarchos2: it might be a good idea to pastebin your HAL and INI as well if you're not sure
[22:08:00] <anarchos2> negative, pin 15 is all on it's own
[22:08:50] <CaptHindsight> anarchos2: do you have access to a multimeter?
[22:09:01] <anarchos2> yup
[22:09:29] <anarchos2> i have on sitting beside me
[22:10:08] <CaptHindsight> whats the resistance across the two wires of the touch probe when the probe is in and not in contact?
[22:10:34] <CaptHindsight> so unhook it from power and the LPT pin 15
[22:10:45] <CaptHindsight> and then measure
[22:11:19] <CaptHindsight> lets find out if the probe has a series resistor
[22:11:34] <anarchos2> ok, just a sec
[22:13:40] <CaptHindsight> anarchos2: are you using a breakout board for the LPT port?
[22:14:15] * JT-Shop is pooped out

[22:16:37] <anarchos2> so resistance between the plate and the black wire (which are directly connected is 0.65 ohm, resistance between the alligator clip and the white wire (directly connected) is 0.42ohm, so i think there is no resistor
[22:16:39] <CaptHindsight> anarchos2: we need to find out how to wire up the probe based on if it is just a normally open switch switch and how your BOB is designed
[22:16:41] -!- zzolo has quit [Quit: zzolo]
[22:16:53] <CaptHindsight> I agree
[22:17:06] <anarchos2> hmm
[22:18:17] <anarchos2> it's weird because my limit switches are mounted with double sided tape (and the bit that actually touches is plastic), so i don't think it's actually a grounding issue
[22:18:31] <anarchos2> must be the BOB leaking voltage to other pins somehow?
[22:18:38] <CaptHindsight> is pin 15 on your BOB a resistor in series with an opto?
[22:18:46] <CaptHindsight> which BOB is this?
[22:19:42] <CaptHindsight> some BOB's have pullup resistors on the opto inputs

[22:20:23] <anarchos2> CNC4PC.com C35S
[22:23:05] <anarchos2> it's weird because if i touch the alligator clip to the plate, everything works fine, no limit switch errors, etc...it's only when i'm grounding through the machine itself, which leads me to believe i've somehow not done something correctly
[22:23:11] <CaptHindsight> see page #8
[22:24:43] <anarchos2> yeah seems like that first diagram is saying i'm doing things correctly
[22:25:11] <CaptHindsight> anarchos2: when the probe is touching a surface does it close the connection between the white and black wire?

[22:26:49] <anarchos2> i'm not exactly sure what you mean...
[22:26:58] <CaptHindsight> have a pic of the probe?
[22:27:44] <CaptHindsight> what does the probe do? Is it a normally open switch with a black wire on one side and white on the other contact?
[22:28:55] <CaptHindsight> is the body of the probe conductive? Is there electrical continuity between any of the wires and the body of the probe that goes into the spindle?
[22:29:10] <anarchos2> ah sorry, it's actually a touch plate, not a probe
[22:29:29] <cpresser_> 23:59 < anarchos2> so i bought a touch plate, hooked it up and it works somewhat (i can see the pin working in halshow) but i'm at a loss at how to actually do it....
[22:29:37] <cpresser_> you neet to connect it motion.probe-in
[22:29:39] <cpresser_> (or similar)
[22:29:59] <CaptHindsight> so whats the theory of operation? what happens when the plate touches the surface?
[22:30:58] <anarchos2> so basically it's a conductive plate, no switch or anything. http://imgur.com/CvmPX8i
[22:31:53] <anarchos2> in theory (how i'm assuming it works) is that i connect the alligator to my spindle somewhere, then when the tool touches the plate, the circuit is closed
[22:32:27] <anarchos2> basically grounding through the machine itself
[22:36:50] <CaptHindsight> see page #12
[22:37:42] <anarchos2> hmm
[22:38:30] <anarchos2> so i need a resistor in there
[22:38:50] <CaptHindsight> which is only going to work if the tool is insulated from ground
[22:39:18] <anarchos2> by the looks of it, it is not. :/
[22:39:33] <CaptHindsight> your tool is most likely not :)
[22:39:51] <CaptHindsight> i love these horrid docs
[22:39:53] <anarchos2> well, shoot.
[22:40:38] <anarchos2> i wonder if i can find a 2.2k resistor locally, just to try
[22:40:45] <CaptHindsight> in your situation the black wire connects to the conductive pad
[22:41:06] <anarchos2> yes
[22:41:52] <anarchos2> so blackwire should be going to grn on my BOB, white wire should be going to +5 and pin 15 with a 2.2k resistor, i think?
[22:41:53] <CaptHindsight> so you would wire the black to pin 15 with a 2.2K from pin 15 to 5V
[22:42:51] <CaptHindsight> so pin 15 is pulled High to 5V when the tool is not in contact with the plate
[22:43:19] <anarchos2> oh i see, because of my grounding issue?
[22:43:29] <CaptHindsight> when the tool comes in contact with the plate it will pull pin 15 low
[22:44:02] <CaptHindsight> but you need a good ground connection between the tool and the ground for the BOB
[22:44:29] <anarchos2> hmm

[22:48:42] <CaptHindsight> was pretty bad here yesterday as well
[22:49:40] <CaptHindsight> anarchos2: net probe parport.0.pin-15-in-not => motion.probe-input since the signal is inverted (starts at 5V when probe is not in contact, goes to 0V when the probe makes contact)

[22:50:33] <anarchos2> i'm gonna have to see if i can scrounge up a resistor somewhere...living in a resort town has it's drawbacks :P
[22:50:43] <anarchos2> i wonder if the autoparts store might have some?
[22:50:55] <CaptHindsight> radio Shack
[22:51:31] <jdh> what resort town?

[22:51:43] <anarchos2> no radio shack for 100km :P
[22:52:06] <CaptHindsight> yeah, creative scrounging
[22:53:01] <jdh> ssi: how many resistors within 20ft of you?
[22:53:15] <ssi> literally tens of thousands
[22:53:22] <anarchos2> lol :P
[22:53:34] <anarchos2> maybe i should buy a resistor kit
[22:53:47] <anarchos2> on hold with the autoparts store

[22:59:46] <jdh> hard to imagine they can make them that cheap.
[22:59:54] <ssi> not much to them

[23:01:23] <CaptHindsight> http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/CF14JT2K20/CF14JT2K20TR-ND/1741321 a bit more for through hole
[23:01:59] <jdh> what form do 5k through hole come in?
[23:02:06] <jdh> neatly arranged or bagged?

[23:04:57] <jdh> yeah
[23:05:00] <lorenl> hello
[23:05:02] <ssi> Tom_itx: the 5k break is almost certainly an uncut reel
[23:05:05] <jdh> but, I don't need 5k of anything
[23:05:13] <Tom_itx> get em off ebay for cheeeep
[23:05:16] <jdh> I don't need the ~5k of ones I already have
[23:05:32] <ssi> I don't either, but a reel of 0603 resistors is cheap enough and more convenient than keeping up with little bits of cut tape
[23:05:43] <lorenl> I'm working on an old CNC router that uses a DOS program for g-code interpretation
[23:05:46] <CaptHindsight> sell them for $10 per 1K on ebay
[23:06:01] <lorenl> I found the full documentation on it's native language and can control it from a terminal.

[23:06:27] <lorenl> I think what I might need next is a g-code interpreter I can use to make a custom translator.
[23:07:01] <jdh> what is its native language?
[23:07:06] <lorenl> I'm looking at LinuxCNC to see what it could do for me.
[23:07:22] <jdh> most likely everything.
[23:08:22] <lorenl> It's documented in this PDF.
[23:08:25] <lorenl> http://bit.ly/1pb2SEi
[23:08:40] <lorenl> I'm successfully running the sample programs from it starting on page 21.
[23:09:29] <lorenl> I'd like to avoid replacing the motor controller board on it just to get native G-code support if possible.
[23:12:01] <jdh> it looks like you could probably get a $15 breakout board and drive it directly from a parallel port with linuxcnc
