[00:04:38] <ssi> well this isn't going well :/
[00:09:57] <jdh> can you change it to something more common?
[00:10:28] <ssi> ha no
[00:10:38] -!- amnesic_away has quit [Quit: ZNC - http://znc.in]
[00:24:44] <ssi> PCW: so I'm seeing 4.4V on the 5V encoder pins on the 7i77
[00:24:50] <ssi> is that directly from the PC power supply?
[00:25:15] -!- amnesic_away has quit [Quit: ZNC - http://znc.in]
[00:25:31] <zeeshan> ssi
[00:25:32] <zeeshan> i got my VFD:D
[00:25:47] <zeeshan> this sumitomo drive actually looks nice
[00:26:12] <PCW> Yes so normally you should supply 5V externally and jumper the 7I77 and 5I25 for no cable power
[00:26:28] <ssi> yeah I think I might have to do that
[00:27:02] <PCW> Especially if you have a long cable/ high current encoders
[00:27:12] <ssi> I'm having all sorts of weird problems getting these new drives to work, and I suspect it's the hall effect inputs
[00:27:20] <ssi> ok so here's a question for you
[00:27:26] <ssi> teh drives have a 6V supply to run hall sensors
[00:27:30] <ssi> and it measures 6.3V
[00:27:40] <ssi> think that'd be kosher to use to drive the encoders, at least for the short term?
[00:27:44] <ssi> or is that dangerous
[00:28:12] <PCW> Not good because encoders may use TTL parts
[00:28:24] <ssi> ok

[00:35:59] <ssi> well, that might be one of my problems
[00:36:07] <ssi> NONE of these cables have continuity at all
[00:36:23] <zeeshan> maybe a break?
[00:36:29] <zeeshan> :D
[00:36:31] <ssi> no, it's bad termination
[00:36:40] <zeeshan> dude
[00:36:45] <zeeshan> dont stress about your spindle!
[00:36:47] <zeeshan> try your amc drives!! :D
[00:36:49] * zeeshan hides
[00:36:52] <ssi> that's what I'm working on
[00:36:54] <zeeshan> oh
[00:36:59] <zeeshan> they pwoer up?
[00:37:05] <ssi> yes
[00:37:10] <zeeshan> :D: :D:D:D
[00:37:12] <zeeshan> GOOD
[00:37:13] <zeeshan> !!!
[00:37:23] <zeeshan> so do you just give it power
[00:37:28] <zeeshan> without any other wires conencted?
[00:37:38] <zeeshan> to check if its good or nfg
[00:37:45] <ssi> it's not that easy
[00:37:47] <zeeshan> or will that fault it
[00:42:21] <zeeshan> im about to power up my spindle motor for the first time
[00:42:22] <zeeshan> oh noes

[00:53:06] <zeeshan> i hope i dont blow up this 12 awg wire
[00:53:17] <zeeshan> to temporarily power up the spindle
[00:53:17] <zeeshan> :/
[00:55:11] <ssi> you gunna cut steel with it during your test run?
[00:55:17] <zeeshan> haha no
[00:55:22] <ssi> then you'll be ok
[00:55:23] <zeeshan> just wanna see it spin
[00:55:30] <zeeshan> to check for noises and shit
[00:55:45] <zeeshan> can i help with your servos
[00:55:47] * zeeshan wants to see em run
[00:55:51] <ssi> yeah
[00:55:53] <ssi> come wire the other two
[00:55:57] <zeeshan> haha
[00:55:59] <ssi> finish my verilog
[00:55:59] <zeeshan> you just need to do one!
[00:56:00] <zeeshan> to check
[00:56:09] <zeeshan> lol i dont know vhdl or verilog
[00:56:14] <zeeshan> thats for eelectrical engineers!
[00:56:17] <zeeshan> .......and ssi
[00:56:18] <zeeshan> :)
[00:56:40] <ssi> I'm an everything engineer
[00:56:53] <zeeshan> i learned something new today
[00:57:02] <zeeshan> the lock nut that holds collets (ER series)
[00:57:06] <Tom_itx> i try to do that every day
[00:57:16] <zeeshan> actually releases the taper lock
[00:57:18] <zeeshan> when you try to loosen it
[00:57:21] <ssi> yes
[00:57:26] <ssi> cause the nut has an offset ring in it
[00:57:30] <zeeshan> this student today didnt lock it into the lock nut
[00:57:30] <ssi> that the groove of the collet snaps into
[00:57:39] <zeeshan> so the collet was jammed in there
[00:57:39] <zeeshan> haha
[00:57:41] <Tom_itx> oops
[00:57:53] <zeeshan> hammer and aluminum worked
[00:58:13] <zeeshan> Tom_itx: me too man
[00:58:15] <zeeshan> i like learning
[00:58:21] <zeeshan> even if i know how to do something a certain way
[00:58:25] <zeeshan> i try to see how others do the same thing
[00:58:32] <zeeshan> their way may be better, easier, etc
[00:59:08] <zeeshan> damn it i cant find my 12awg 3 phase soow cable
[00:59:18] <Tom_itx> problem these days is my fifo buffer may be full
[00:59:19] -!- The_Ball [The_Ball!~ballen@202.10.92.134] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:59:25] <ssi> Tom_itx: I hate that
[00:59:31] <Tom_itx> heh
[00:59:31] <ssi> getting old sucks
[00:59:38] <zeeshan> im about to hook up the vfd
[00:59:39] <zeeshan> using this wire:
[00:59:53] <zeeshan> romex
[01:00:02] <zeeshan> 14 gauge
[01:00:02] <zeeshan> haha
[01:00:10] <Tom_itx> nobody uses romex anymore
[01:00:15] <ssi> thinner than I'd like, but again unloaded it'll probably be fine
[01:00:31] <zeeshan> im going through the manual too
[01:00:36] <zeeshan> this thing has a lot of terminals on the power side
[01:01:00] <zeeshan> more than the typical L1 L2 L3 , r s t
[01:04:10] <ssi> k well
[01:04:16] <ssi> in torque mode it's working
[01:04:20] <ssi> in velocity mode it's running away
[01:04:28] <zeeshan> NICE
[01:04:38] <zeeshan> you bought these from the same guy right?
[01:05:29] <ssi> I don't think so
[01:05:33] <ssi> I think you got them somwhere else
[01:05:46] <zeeshan> o
[01:08:51] -!- Valen has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[01:11:09] <PCW> velocity mode will run away if the encoder counts the wrong way
[01:12:43] <ssi> I think due to the low 5v bus it wasn't counting correctly
[01:12:46] <ssi> I tried both directions
[01:14:55] <ssi> hah so I added a lab supply to 7i77 for a proper 5v supply
[01:14:59] <ssi> and now the amp won't enable at all
[01:15:00] <PCW> if you supply external 5V power to the 7I77 make sure you change the cable power jumpers on both the 7I77 and the 5I25
[01:15:46] <ssi> yeah I powered it up with only the jumper on the 5i25 flipped and it wasn't happy
[01:15:50] <ssi> I hope I didn't hurt something
[01:16:14] <ssi> oh I bet the enables aren't working because it's part of the analog processor, which is sserial
[01:16:19] <ssi> and I need to restart halrun since it bounced
[01:16:19] <ssi> or something
[01:16:45] <ssi> yeah that was it
[01:17:37] <ssi> hah well
[01:17:40] <ssi> that drive was good
[01:17:41] <ssi> now it's on fire
[01:17:52] <PCW> thats not so good
[01:17:55] <ssi> i think that means it's time to quit for the night
[01:18:06] <pfred1> I felt that way earlier
[01:18:22] <CaptHindsight> the fire is not a feature?
[01:18:27] <ssi> don't think so
[01:18:47] <pfred1> FET = Fire Emitting Transistor
[01:19:41] <pfred1> well, I think my basic design is sound I just have to rebuild it using better materials
[01:20:58] <ssi> so much for input fuses, eh
[01:21:11] <pfred1> after I blew up a PSU here I added a fuse
[01:21:35] <Jymmm> FET = Fucked Electron Transit.
[01:22:09] <pfred1> on the plus side my machine seems to run better off the unregulated transformer
[01:22:23] <Jymmm> pfred1: stepper?
[01:22:26] <pfred1> yes
[01:22:36] <Jymmm> Yeah, would expect it to.
[01:22:39] <pfred1> unregulated I get another 1.6 volts
[01:22:53] <pfred1> it makes a difference
[01:23:02] <ssi> ah well the fuse did actually blow
[01:23:05] <ssi> that must be what put the fire out
[01:23:28] <Jymmm> pfred1: regulated and BEMF kinda clash.
[01:23:34] -!- cborn has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[01:24:08] <pfred1> Jymmm it may have I added a big cap at my power distribution block to soak up whatever is going on
[01:24:31] <pfred1> well, not too big, but big enough
[01:24:51] <Jymmm> pfred1: Did you ever see Mariss stepper paper?
[01:24:58] <pfred1> probably
[01:25:02] <Jymmm> k
[01:25:13] <pfred1> I've read a few things he's written
[01:25:34] <pfred1> my drives aren't on par with his but hey, they only cost me $10 to make
[01:26:08] <Jymmm> I owuldn't mind a pure smfr, but hard to find cheaply
[01:26:14] <Jymmm> xmfr*
[01:26:32] <pfred1> I got the xformer I'm using out of a PDP 11/34
[01:26:40] <Jymmm> ?
[01:26:59] <pfred1> it was the step down transformer in a mini computer
[01:27:04] <Jymmm> ah
[01:27:11] <pfred1> size of a closet
[01:27:14] <Jymmm> heh
[01:27:23] <pfred1> I ganged up the two 13.5V windings in it
[01:27:28] <pfred1> 13,4
[01:27:39] <Jymmm> I can find the voltages, just not the VA
[01:27:48] <pfred1> this thing is like a cinder block
[01:27:54] <Jymmm> and they NEVER pur markings on them, bastards
[01:27:57] <pfred1> it is a huge xformer
[01:28:26] <pfred1> well one thing you have to worry about is when you rectify, then filter your volts goes up to peak
[01:28:35] <pfred1> as opposed to RMS
[01:29:03] <pfred1> so you always end up with more DC volts than the xformer is AC rated to put out
[01:29:25] <pfred1> plus xformers seem to run a bit hot anyways compared to their ratings
[01:29:35] <pfred1> they give you value for your buck so to speak
[01:30:15] <Jymmm> Lovely http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada-post-ends-home-delivery-today-for-thousands-1.2805833
[01:30:43] <CaptHindsight> ok, show of hands, who would wear these? http://www.3ders.org/articles/20141020-morgenrot-3d-printed-eyewear-wins-innovation-award.html
[01:31:21] <Jymmm> martiGra?
[01:31:22] <pfred1> CaptHindsight Elton John
[01:31:52] <pfred1> I have seen very few people that actually do anything useful with 3D printers
[01:31:52] <ssi> CaptHindsight: hipsters
[01:32:02] <ssi> pfred1: I do useful things with them occasionally
[01:32:10] <CaptHindsight> I guess they are not shooting for understated elegance
[01:32:12] <ssi> a handful of the parts of my laser cutter are 3d printed
[01:32:19] <ssi> tube mounts, mirror mounts, endstops
[01:33:46] <pfred1> I need to iron the bugs out of my machine
[01:33:56] <pfred1> I guess it is to be expected
[01:34:06] <ssi> hey at least yours isn't full of fire
[01:34:14] <pfred1> ssi not yet
[01:34:28] <pfred1> the possibility definitely exists though
[01:35:01] <pfred1> I made all of my own electronics
[01:35:28] <pfred1> I have to say it is the only part of my machine I am completely satisfied with right now
[01:35:38] <pfred1> well, the Z axis seems to be working good too
[01:35:54] <pfred1> but the X, and Y linear guides leave much to be desired
[01:36:48] <pfred1> I think I know of a way I can rectify it but it is going to be a big job
[01:37:10] <pfred1> oh well, I wanted to see if I could take the easy way out
[01:41:30] <pfred1> nothing worthwhile is ever easy I suppose

[01:55:23] <gennro> sure

[01:56:38] <pfred1> skate bearings deluxe!
[01:57:00] <gennro> I see that, i'm new to the diy cnc
[01:57:22] <pfred1> my whole machine didn't cost me more than $300 to build
[01:57:34] <gennro> how well does it work?
[01:57:42] <pfred1> in the world of CNC that is pretty cheap
[01:58:03] <pfred1> well, I need to put some hard facing on the X, and Y linear guides
[01:58:06] <gennro> i'm wanting to build a laser engraver myself
[01:58:14] <pfred1> I figure screwing some angle iron there should do it
[01:58:37] <pfred1> well laser is easy because you don't need to move a big mass, or exert pressure
[01:58:53] <pfred1> light is exactly that it is light
[01:59:19] <gennro> I plan on basing mine off this guys http://der-frickler.net/technik/lasergravierer#lightbox[gal-b657ba3df9000d1dea2876c031fc]/1/
[01:59:22] <pfred1> light is very light in fact
[01:59:31] <gennro> yup
[01:59:41] <pfred1> you can run NEMA 17s
[01:59:54] <pfred1> heck you could probably pull steppers out of floppy drives
[02:00:14] <gennro> lol, yeah I have 1 nema 17 already
[02:00:23] <pfred1> yeah 30 oz/in more than enough
[02:00:53] <gennro> use some easy drivers for the stepper driver, arduino uno running grbl
[02:01:05] <pfred1> this is LinuxCNC
[02:01:14] <pfred1> we don't play with gerbils here
[02:01:24] <gennro> yeah I know, but every other cnc channel is dead
[02:01:41] <pfred1> I donno used PCs you can't beat the price
[02:01:54] <pfred1> I got the one I'm running LInuxCNC on for $5 at a thrift store
[02:02:32] <gennro> you need a parallel port correct?
[02:02:44] <pfred1> yeah those cards cost another $20
[02:03:11] <pfred1> the PC has a pp in it but I didn't want to risk it with my homebrew electronics it probably would have worked fine though
[02:03:36] <pfred1> my buffered parallel port break out board works pretty good
[02:03:41] <gennro> gotcha
[02:04:15] <pfred1> it draws almot nothing off the parallel port then gives me 25ma an output
[02:04:19] <gennro> Was thinking about using a raspberry pi as a controller, but my programming isn't that great
[02:04:42] <pfred1> well, I boosted it for my dual axis drives I added another buffer IC to give me 50ma
[02:05:25] <pfred1> my optical isolators draw 12ma each and I figured that was too close to the IC limit
[02:05:39] <pfred1> so for 25 cents I threw in another chip
[02:06:39] <pfred1> you can just run one of those imported TB6560 boards
[02:06:53] <pfred1> but the documentation that comes with those things is less than worthless
[02:07:04] <gennro> so pretty much it uses the parallel port as a GPIO to interface with the stepper drivers, and etc?
[02:07:49] <pfred1> yeah you see the big beige data cord running int othe front of my machine?
[02:08:00] <gennro> yup
[02:08:01] <pfred1> it is right over the keyboard kind of
[02:08:07] <pfred1> that is a parallel port cable
[02:08:52] <pfred1> http://www.instructables.com/id/Parallel-Port-Break-Out-Board-BOB/
[02:08:57] <CaptHindsight> looks like a spruce gantry mill
[02:09:02] <pfred1> I wrote an article about my break out board
[02:09:28] <CaptHindsight> I'd like to fashion one from bubinga or purpleheart
[02:09:53] <pfred1> CaptHindsight I used a piece of plywood I found on the side of the road and 2x4 studs
[02:10:02] <pfred1> the pine the bearings are digging into it
[02:10:11] <pfred1> I need to add some angle iron there
[02:10:35] <CaptHindsight> pfred1: I am trying to see what actually moves on your machine
[02:11:14] <pfred1> well the X axis is the easiest to see there are two black stepper motors screwed to that front board
[02:11:40] <pfred1> they're connected to a pair of 1/2x10 TPI acme threaded rods
[02:12:04] <pfred1> then I made HDPE nuts for those and they are connected to the Y axis gantry
[02:12:06] <gennro> thanks for the info so far pfred1, i'll read more into linuxcnc, and skip the arduino setup, cause I plan on building a cnc for doing wood if I can get the hang of it
[02:12:37] <pfred1> gennro yeah my ultimage goal is to do decorative wood routing
[02:12:46] <pfred1> like signs and designs
[02:13:00] <gennro> thats what I would like to do

[02:13:25] <pfred1> I like to woodwork but loking at what I do objectively it just doesn't pop

[02:14:07] <CaptHindsight> are the blue ~1x1's the linear cam bearings?
[02:14:49] <pfred1> maybe I can show another picture and you can see how it works?
[02:14:53] <pfred1> let me find the link
[02:15:31] <pfred1> http://i.imgur.com/lLAoq.jpg
[02:15:50] <CaptHindsight> I see
[02:15:53] <pfred1> cool
[02:16:10] <pfred1> I need to put some angle where the bearings contact
[02:16:36] <pfred1> my design is a bit more elaborate than a 3 motor but I can use cheaper motors and drives with it
[02:16:42] <pfred1> a lot cheaper
[02:17:06] <pfred1> there is actually a lead on the other side
[02:17:11] <CaptHindsight> is the challenge to see how little you can spend?
[02:17:18] <pfred1> yeah pretty much
[02:17:25] <pfred1> anyone can go out and spend thousands
[02:17:35] -!- knu2xs___ has quit [Quit: Be back later ...]
[02:17:41] <pfred1> I was shooting for $200 but I ran over that a bit
[02:18:09] <CaptHindsight> and what is the goal for accuracy, repeatability, durability etc?
[02:18:25] <pfred1> 200 IPM for $200
[02:18:46] <CaptHindsight> +/- 1/4"
[02:19:24] <pfred1> well once i get the linears straightened out I think it should be fairly accurate

[02:22:16] <pfred1> CaptHindsight this is the fractal example that comes with LinuxCNC http://i.imgur.com/ATX29wd.jpg
[02:23:03] <pfred1> my machine drew that with a pencil in it
[02:24:04] <pfred1> it ain't perfect but it is better than I can do

[03:11:48] <pfred1> Rab people seem to have a lot of deflection issues with pipe even fairly large diameter pipe
[03:12:29] <Rab> pfred1, I can imagine so.
[03:12:40] <pfred1> it is actually worse than I imagine
[03:12:56] <pfred1> I'd think pipe would be more rigid than it seems to be

[13:50:26] <zeeshan> cute lil brideport
[13:51:28] <CaptHindsight> https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Tier_1_Cold_Metals_Authorization WTF?
[13:52:10] <zeeshan> CaptHindsight:
[13:52:13] <zeeshan> its shit like this
[13:52:20] <zeeshan> which made me want to get my own machines long time ago
[13:52:30] <zeeshan> when i started fabricating parts in 2003
[13:52:39] <zeeshan> i realized how much machine shops rape you for a simple job
[13:52:46] <zeeshan> cause of the overhead they're dealing with
[13:52:55] <zeeshan> but some shops will quote you like 350 for a job
[13:52:59] <zeeshan> and then another will quote you 800
[13:53:04] <zeeshan> to put o-ring grooves in 4 flanges
[13:53:05] <zeeshan> lol
[13:53:28] <_methods> it depeds on what equipment they have and how busy they are
[13:53:39] <_methods> if you're flooded you quote it like you don't want it
[13:53:43] <zeeshan> and then @ school you have to follow their protocols
[13:53:52] <_methods> hence your $800 quote
[13:53:54] <_methods> or they don't like you
[13:54:02] <_methods> and see a pain in the ass
[13:54:02] <archivist> remember they have to pay the wages while they wait for the next job
[13:54:10] <zeeshan> and wait to book it out
[13:54:36] <_methods> we quote super high all the time instead of telling someone to fuck off
[13:54:44] <_methods> better than being a dick
[13:54:46] * archivist has been waiting for over a week
[13:54:46] <zeeshan> methods you assume too much
[13:54:54] <_methods> no it's what i do
[13:54:57] <_methods> i assume nothing
[13:55:04] <zeeshan> you assume to omuch about the task at hand
[13:55:18] <zeeshan> didn't say its not what you do
[13:55:56] <zeeshan> i have to dig through the pics
[13:55:59] <zeeshan> to find the flanges im talking about
[13:56:47] <_methods> you can take the same part to 20 diff shops and get 20 diff prices
[13:57:12] <zeeshan> http://i.imgur.com/e7KvSkQ.jpg
[13:57:17] <zeeshan> i can only find this pic
[13:57:17] <_methods> there are so many variables that go into a quote you'll never get the same price except through chance
[13:57:21] <zeeshan> remember this is back in 2003
[13:57:38] <zeeshan> the flanges were laser cut
[13:57:45] <zeeshan> i needed that o-ring groove in them
[13:58:39] <zeeshan> i ended up buying a lathe
[13:58:48] <zeeshan> holding them in a 4 jaw and plunging in
[13:59:14] <zeeshan> took 2 hours to do em (had 0 lathe experience at the time)
[13:59:45] <CaptHindsight> zeeshan: but you weren't certified!
[13:59:47] <zeeshan> do you think the job was unreasonable?
[13:59:55] <zeeshan> and do you think i was overquoted?
[14:00:09] <zeeshan> because i know i was now that i am more connected with machinists in the industry
[14:00:39] <_methods> walk ins get fucked
[14:00:42] <_methods> that's how it is
[14:01:07] <_methods> you know how many times a day i hear ohhh i have way more work after this
[14:01:10] <_methods> and you never see them again
[14:02:32] <zeeshan> yea i guess that is a problem
[14:02:46] <CaptHindsight> _methods: do they ever ask to borrow your shop?
[14:02:50] <_methods> yeah
[14:02:51] <zeeshan> and then there is people that want too much
[14:02:53] <zeeshan> for too little
[14:02:56] <_methods> and we tell them they can't insurance
[14:02:58] <zeeshan> i see it myself now
[14:03:05] <zeeshan> i can't imagine having to deal with people like that all the time
[14:03:10] <_methods> it sux
[14:03:17] <zeeshan> i ended up making 250 of these parts!@
[14:03:18] <_methods> and people that "know" what they are doing are the worst
[14:03:39] <zeeshan> _methods i call BS!!
[14:03:44] <zeeshan> theres 230981230923180930289 ways of doing something :)
[14:04:12] <zeeshan> this one guy i was doing the dies for a little while ago
[14:04:13] <zeeshan> for bending
[14:04:15] <_methods> honestly the ones i hate the most are the fuckin "artists"
[14:04:17] <zeeshan> he wanted everything specifically his way
[14:04:29] <_methods> artists/invenotrs
[14:04:50] <_methods> i just tell them we don't have the machines they need when the come in now
[14:05:16] <_methods> oh you need a 5 axis cat50 for that and we don't have one of those
[14:05:18] <_methods> good luck

[14:06:14] <CaptHindsight> _methods: where is the shop? +/- 300 miles
[14:06:14] <zeeshan> o-ring grooves
[14:06:22] <_methods> charleston sc
[14:06:23] <zeeshan> btw material is 304 stainless
[14:06:33] <_methods> i dind't even look at them
[14:06:36] <zeeshan> :(
[14:06:41] <_methods> like i said it depends on the shop
[14:06:44] <_methods> and what's goin on
[14:06:52] <_methods> if we're dead we'll do anything
[14:07:01] <_methods> if we're busy we'll quote it sky high

[14:07:31] <zeeshan> it took me a year to find these guys
[14:07:35] <_methods> did you put silly tolerances on it
[14:07:39] <zeeshan> they're so cheap, i dont even know how they do it
[14:07:58] <_methods> well your jobs are probably fairly small so they can use drops and stuff
[14:08:09] <zeeshan> http://i.imgur.com/hRaDOeZ.jpg
[14:08:11] <_methods> i don't know what qty runs you're foing though
[14:08:13] <archivist> just mention some cash, that usually helps
[14:08:17] <zeeshan> thsoe 3 babies .125
[14:08:21] <zeeshan> 6061, $38
[14:08:22] <zeeshan> lol
[14:08:31] <_methods> water jet
[14:08:33] <zeeshan> yea
[14:08:40] <zeeshan> od of that is 3"
[14:08:43] <zeeshan> (to give size perspective)
[14:08:50] <_methods> yeah our shop min is $75
[14:09:11] <_methods> which is low
[14:09:12] <zeeshan> this place is $60
[14:09:18] <_methods> others in the area are $250 min
[14:09:21] <zeeshan> but they'll do it for established customers
[14:09:42] <zeeshan> for a long time i was thinking ill make a plasma cutter
[14:09:44] <zeeshan> but when its this cheap
[14:09:46] <zeeshan> there is no point
[14:09:55] <zeeshan> they deal with the material ordering, loading, cutting
[14:09:58] <zeeshan> i just pick it up
[14:10:00] <_methods> yep
[14:10:12] <zeeshan> and they get their material wholesale
[14:10:18] <_methods> like i said you're not a walk in to them anymmore
[14:10:23] <_methods> so you'll get fair prices
[14:10:29] <_methods> but some random dude comes in the door
[14:10:35] <_methods> i'm not gonna do that for them for $38
[14:10:40] <_methods> $75 min
[14:10:42] <zeeshan> id charge $100
[14:10:43] <zeeshan> for that
[14:10:43] <zeeshan> lol
[14:10:48] <_methods> and i'm assuming you give them the dxf
[14:10:51] <zeeshan> yea
[14:10:54] <_methods> so that's even better
[14:10:57] <_methods> now i don't have to draw it
[14:11:04] <_methods> we just give it to the jet and burn it out
[14:11:06] <zeeshan> their drawing charges are 100/hr
[14:11:12] <_methods> yeah
[14:11:24] <_methods> i love people that come in with good drawings
[14:11:30] <_methods> if it's wrong its all on you lol
[14:11:33] <zeeshan> haha
[14:12:15] <zeeshan> part of the reason i got in the hobby is cause i love it
[14:12:23] <zeeshan> theres something about welding and making chips

[14:13:04] <zeeshan> how much effort goes into making something
[14:13:05] <zeeshan> and skill
[14:13:21] <zeeshan> and i am 100% friendly with all the floor workers and respect them
[14:13:35] <_methods> well they can make your life easy or they can make it miserable
[14:13:41] <zeeshan> and it makes me cringe when other engineers treat them like shit
[14:13:43] <_methods> they'll let you burn

[14:15:28] <_methods> well it's a 2 sided story
[14:15:36] <zeeshan> "we all know those other guys don't know what they're doing"
[14:15:37] <zeeshan> ..
[14:15:39] <_methods> they do the same shit
[14:16:03] <zeeshan> youre right, sometimes production people will complain
[14:16:06] <zeeshan> about really silly things
[14:16:23] <zeeshan> you're not going to redesign something because for a one off job he has to spend 15 more minutes tightening a bolt
[14:16:34] <_methods> exactly
[14:16:34] <zeeshan> mistake is made, get er done, we'll fix it on the next job

[14:20:27] <_methods> well that's one way to put it
[14:20:44] <CaptHindsight> _methods: so it sounds like what you are saying is that people should be civil and treat others with respect :)
[14:20:44] <zeeshan> at eaton i come in the morning
[14:20:52] <zeeshan> "why did you not release the drawings last night?!?!"
[14:21:03] <_methods> CaptHindsight: yeah that would be nice
[14:21:06] <zeeshan> so 7:30am you get your first adrenalin rush
[14:21:08] <zeeshan> haha
[14:21:08] <_methods> but i've not seen it happen yet
[14:22:56] <CaptHindsight> _methods: have you seen the behavior (socialization) that's encouraged by school and corporate agendas?
[14:23:10] <_methods> yeah not really in job shops
[14:23:17] <_methods> but i've seen it in corporations
[14:23:38] <CaptHindsight> it's no accident that people behave this way
[14:23:50] <_methods> you will get drug out back in my shop for that shit
[14:24:15] <zeeshan> CaptHindsight: we've been told numeruous times throughout undergrad
[14:24:21] <_methods> we still grind and weld and cut steel and act like people that conduct those activities
[14:24:25] <zeeshan> to talk to ALL "stakeholders"
[14:24:31] <zeeshan> stakeholders can be machinists, customer, city
[14:24:31] <zeeshan> etc
[14:24:39] <zeeshan> communication is #1 key
[14:24:55] <zeeshan> we were given the example of the GM engineers being told that their transmission didn't shift right
[14:25:01] <zeeshan> so they started redesigning the shifter mechanism
[14:25:06] <zeeshan> and the new trans had the same problem
[14:25:16] <zeeshan> eventually they started talking to the customers
[14:25:21] <zeeshan> and found out the problem was the shifter knob....
[14:26:07] <zeeshan> and we took some courses which put us kind of in the same position as methods
[14:26:17] <zeeshan> where you're a link betwen management and production
[14:26:21] <zeeshan> and also the customer
[14:26:49] <_methods> yeah since i do all the drawing and programming i get stuck in the middle

[15:54:58] <zeeshan> power dist
[15:55:00] <zeeshan> the numbers tell me 100A
[15:55:06] <zeeshan> worst case scenario

[15:56:18] <zeeshan> 60A
[15:56:22] <ssi> ok 60A then
[15:56:30] <zeeshan> that servo drive was only 15A
[15:56:31] <ssi> so it was designed to run everything full load on 60A
[15:56:32] <zeeshan> on the old machine
[15:56:38] <zeeshan> now its 3 times that
[15:56:46] <zeeshan> plus 2 more axis

[15:56:53] <zeeshan> and ive added a computer
[15:56:57] <ssi> just because the drives can supply 25A doesn't mean they will
[15:57:06] <zeeshan> well im going by the rating of the servos themself
[15:57:11] <zeeshan> for those numbers that you see in the distrubiton
[15:57:20] <ssi> ok like I said, never mind
[15:57:27] <ssi> i know better than to argue with you about something when NUMBERS are involved
[15:57:36] <zeeshan> like i said
[15:57:40] <zeeshan> theyre all based on worse case scenario
[15:57:43] <ssi> I really don't care what you do
[15:57:45] <zeeshan> will it ever happen, prolly never
[15:57:49] <ssi> but 2awg is expensive as balls and hard to pull
[15:58:00] <archivist> diversity, you never need to add all the maximums
[15:58:01] <ssi> and putting a 100A breaker on a machine that needs 60A is just asking for trouble
[15:58:11] <zeeshan> its not 60A anymore
[15:58:15] <zeeshan> theres 2 more additional servos
[15:58:18] <zeeshan> and a PC
[15:58:27] <zeeshan> and 2 additional power supplies
[15:59:02] <archivist> just think how many will take full power at one point in time....none
[15:59:06] <ssi> what size servos
[15:59:18] <ssi> 500w or so?
[15:59:21] <ssi> like your other axes?
[15:59:27] <zeeshan> 1000W
[15:59:57] <archivist> but they are not all taking full power at the same time
[16:00:06] <ssi> ok even assuming you're going to use 50lb servos for your mythical A and B axes
[16:00:07] <zeeshan> archivist: youre right
[16:00:11] <ssi> that's still only an extra 2500W
[16:00:16] <ssi> which is 10A
[16:00:56] <ssi> https://scontent-b-iad.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10471511_876280445442_901235789185799916_n.jpg?oh=d418e4256051e628fc58e1cd2fa08288&oe=54F3AFCF
[16:01:05] <zeeshan> im thinking
[16:01:05] <CaptHindsight> he might see some peaks but not often enough to trip a 60A breaker
[16:01:16] <zeeshan> maybe just run computer off the wall outlet
[16:01:29] <ssi> in the grand scheme of things the computer means NOTHING in this scenario
[16:01:41] <ssi> I'd be shocked if a computer running linuxcnc is drawing 200W
[16:01:43] <CaptHindsight> <-- will only speak about zeeshan as though he's not in the channel :)
[16:01:47] <ssi> CaptHindsight: probably wise
[16:01:50] <zeeshan> CaptHindsight: haha :D
[16:01:58] <zeeshan> okay ssi so check this out
[16:02:04] <zeeshan> the manufactuer for this sumitomo drive says 60A
[16:02:08] <zeeshan> for ihe input side
[16:02:27] <zeeshan> when i calculate the numbers i get 35A
[16:02:35] <zeeshan> so i dunno whats going on there
[16:02:36] <ssi> you have a 5hp motor
[16:02:39] <zeeshan> yes
[16:02:47] <zeeshan> which should draw 28A
[16:02:48] <zeeshan> FLA
[16:02:53] <zeeshan> * 1.25 safety factor
[16:03:04] <zeeshan> thats at peak hp.....
[16:03:07] <ssi> right
[16:03:12] <zeeshan> so i dont know why they say 60A
[16:03:14] <zeeshan> makes no sense to me
[16:03:17] <archivist> starting current is much higher
[16:03:19] <ssi> because it's a 10hp vfd!
[16:03:45] <zeeshan> sorry for a 10hp motor is 28A
[16:03:47] <zeeshan> not for 5hp
[16:04:01] <ssi> yeah that sounds more correct
[16:04:05] <ssi> 5hp should be like 16 FLA
[16:04:10] <zeeshan> yes
[16:04:16] <ssi> put it this way
[16:04:22] <ssi> my 15hp motor wants 40 FLA
[16:04:29] <zeeshan> okay fuck it
[16:04:31] <ssi> my 25hp vfd can supply 60A
[16:04:33] <zeeshan> im gonna run the 6/3 wire i have
[16:04:37] <zeeshan> and just protect it with a 60A breaker
[16:04:40] <ssi> there you go
[16:04:45] <zeeshan> if it trips
[16:04:49] <zeeshan> ill change the wire in the future
[16:04:51] <archivist> that is RMS current not peak
[16:04:53] <zeeshan> at least its costing me nothing
[16:05:03] -!- quiqua has quit [Quit: quiqua]
[16:05:04] <zeeshan> ill need to put it in conduit

[16:05:23] <Tom_itx> then you can blame ssi for making you do it
[16:05:23] <zeeshan> ill size the conduit for 100A wire
[16:05:35] <zeeshan> i know ssi is right
[16:05:39] <zeeshan> because my lathe is 3hp
[16:05:46] <ssi> man can I frame that and put it on the wall?
[16:05:47] <zeeshan> has 2 drives similar supplies and computer running off 30A breaker
[16:05:50] <ssi> can I set it as the channel topic?!
[16:05:59] <zeeshan> and it hasn't tripped yet
[16:06:01] <Tom_itx> TM*
[16:06:04] -!- karavanjo_ has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[16:06:16] <zeeshan> so i can't see how this thing will draw more than 60A
[16:06:23] <zeeshan> in a typical application
[16:06:36] <ssi> it won't
[16:06:38] -!- b_b has quit [Changing host]
[16:06:47] <ssi> I'll be surprised if I ever trip my 60A breaker
[16:06:51] <ssi> and it's actually undersized for my machine
[16:06:54] <zeeshan> im still going to size the wires the same from each breaker
[16:06:57] <zeeshan> okay fak im late for this lab
[16:06:57] <zeeshan> brb
[16:07:17] <ssi> I figure if I try to plow through a massive cut in inconel or something
[16:07:19] <archivist> think sine wave part of the time it is 0 current part well over the RMS current
[16:07:27] <ssi> and achtually load that 15hp spindle up and two servos trying to drag through it
[16:07:31] <ssi> I might be able to trip it
[16:07:49] <ssi> archivist: peak current is sqrt(2) * rms current
[16:08:04] <archivist> sime like to spec for the temperature rise rather than the current

[17:58:59] <ssi> amc trapezoidal drives

[17:59:07] <archivist> bloody expensive?

[17:59:17] <Connor> ssi How the heck did you do that ?
[17:59:19] <ssi> archivist: $60 apiece :P
[17:59:38] <ssi> Connor: one thing I don't like about the amc drives is the dip switches for setting modes are hard to access
[17:59:49] <ssi> you need a tiny flathead or pair of smd tweezers or something to flip them
[18:00:00] <jdh> we have a bunch of AMC drives with different company names on them.
[18:00:10] <ssi> and I've never had a problem before, but this time I guess I didn't let the DC bus bleed after disabling the drive
[18:00:18] <ssi> was trying to get the velocity feedback correct to get the drive to quit running away
[18:00:28] <ssi> and I stuck my tweezers in there to try to flip that switch and something shorted

[18:13:31] <CaptHindsight> http://electronicdesign.com/embedded/misunderstanding-plagues-patent-system LOL
[18:13:45] <CaptHindsight> LOL "Without patents, inventors would keep their inventions secret to prevent competition. When the inventor died, the principles behind the invention would also die. Technology would stagnate. This is at least part of the reason that the principles behind many great ancient inventions have been lost even to this day."
[18:14:36] <ssi> seems legit :P
[18:14:41] <SpeedEvil> Most patentees and patent office examiners need set on fire.
[18:14:44] <jdh> they should have made up some anecdotals to support their assertion
[18:15:24] <SpeedEvil> You should never, ever be able to get a patent on a thing where it takes less time to invent it for someone skilled in the art than to do a full patent search to see if it's patented, and application.
[18:15:49] <ssi> SpeedEvil: agreed
[18:15:54] <archivist> most patents are as obtuse as they can get away with!
[18:16:06] <CaptHindsight> "Are Patents Destroying Innovation? No. This is a ridiculous assertion," Heh
[18:16:42] <CaptHindsight> who writes this crap and who approves it for publication?
[18:17:15] <SpeedEvil> And how many patents does it have
[18:17:23] <ssi> Can you understand an engineering paper by its title alone? Can you understand electronics by reading the title of an electronics text? In the same way, you cannot understand a patent by only reading the title. In fact, nothing in patent law requires the patent title to have anything to do with the invention. I personally have patents where the title is almost meaningless.
[18:18:23] <CaptHindsight> yeah, written by http://electronicdesign.com/author/bob-zeidman
[18:18:48] <CaptHindsight> provides engineering consulting to law firms regarding intellectual property disputes
[18:19:28] <ssi> the problem is that it's so overwhelmingly difficult and expensive to get a patent, than little guys who might actually have something that would be worth protecting by a patent often don't, but patent troll companies will litigate over nonsense
[18:19:43] <SpeedEvil> Quite.
[18:20:14] <CaptHindsight> we have the best patent system that money can buy
[18:20:19] <SpeedEvil> IMO you should never ever be able to get a patent for being the first to think of a problem - then coming up with a solution that someone would normally try
[18:20:42] <ssi> worse than that is that you don't even have to have a solution
[18:20:55] <ssi> you can just dream up something that you think may not exist and patent it
[18:20:56] <CaptHindsight> they redefined obvious
[18:21:15] <ssi> then when someone else comes along and has the same idea and actually implements it, some how you own what they built
[18:21:32] <CaptHindsight> pretty sneaky
[18:21:33] <SpeedEvil> CaptHindsight: indeed
[18:22:25] <CaptHindsight> if you're a small potatoes submitter your patent might be held up for years

[19:01:45] <lair82> I have the software installed off of the bootable usb I made, and started going thru the motions on getting the source from thru git, and the terminal window
[19:03:30] <CaptHindsight> lair82: why not install from the hybrid linuxcnc Wheezy ISO?

[19:19:05] <ssi> I've built linuxcnc from source several times, but always on machines that started out as installs from the livecd
[19:19:09] <ssi> and it was fairly straightforward
[19:19:26] <ssi> but like these guys are saying, unless you need a specific feature of one of the branches or current master, probably should stick with the livecd

[19:20:07] <cpresser> unless you have a newer board with some unsupported features. i had trouble with USB, so i needed a newer kernel

[19:33:08] <cpresser> JT-Shop: yes. i installed debian wheezy + buildbot packages
[19:33:21] <cpresser> however, my Mesa-Hardware didnt arrive so far. i could not test it
[19:34:38] <JT-Shop> Tom_itx, one size too small LOL
[19:34:42] <Tom_itx> hah
[19:35:00] <Tom_itx> i'm looking to replace the V belt on my little mill with a GT2 series 9mm wide
[19:35:05] <Tom_itx> hope that's big enough
[19:35:17] <Tom_itx> i think it will be
[19:35:41] <Tom_itx> right now it uses a sewing machine belt
[19:36:55] <JT-Shop> the Y axis belts are about 5/16" wide and the X axis belt is 1/2"
[19:37:15] <JT-Shop> for the spindle drive?
[19:37:27] <Tom_itx> yeah
[19:38:56] <Tom_itx> that's about 8mm and 13mm
[19:39:12] <Tom_itx> these come in 9 and 15mm wide
[19:39:19] <Tom_itx> sounds about right i think
[19:39:27] <Tom_itx> 6 9 & 15mm
[19:39:41] <Tom_itx> 6 is probably too narrow
[19:39:48] <PCW> lair82: freeby.mesanet.com/wheezy-uspace-eth

[19:44:53] <ssi> I can't get these drives to behave in velocity mode
[19:45:11] <ssi> the SE drives I was able to get to lock up in velocity mode
[19:45:21] <ssi> these want to run away no matter which direction I set the velocity feedback
[19:45:47] <ssi> adjusting the offset pot, they go from full speed one way to full speed the other way in a fraction of a degree of turn
[19:45:54] <ssi> and not at the same place if you go back and forth
[19:46:02] <ssi> I feel like my encoder feedback isn't right or somethign
[19:47:10] -!- gaute has quit [Quit: Page closed]
[19:47:12] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop, i'll have to bore them out since i can't get the right hole sizes i need
[19:48:05] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop, do you get a lot of stretch on the X axis since it's probably fairly long?
[19:48:06] <PCW> do the encoders read correctly from the linuxcnc side?
[19:48:12] <ssi> yes
[19:48:49] <PCW> are the drives encoder inputs isolated?
[19:49:01] <ssi> I have no idea
[19:49:06] <ssi> and I don't think this is going to work
[19:49:10] <ssi> because they're single ended
[19:49:19] <ssi> I think that's the issue, is I was trying to just give it half the differential encoder signal
[19:49:25] <ssi> but clearly it's not high enough to trigger the drive
[19:49:33] <ssi> I'm seeing around 3v as a high on them
[19:49:49] <Tom_itx> run them thru a buffer
[19:49:52] <PCW> that may be a problem since the 7I77 terminates them whan in differntial mode
[19:50:02] <PCW> use a ENCY

[19:50:26] brianmorel99 is now known as brianmorel99_wor
[19:50:30] <ssi> well rev2 of my hall board needs to use the encoder signals to fine-correct the hall outputs
[19:50:35] <ssi> I can just repeat it on there
[19:50:44] <ssi> in the short term I guess I'll try to set these up torque mode
[19:51:22] <PCW> you could probably test by setting the 7I77 encoder inputs to single ended mode
[19:51:32] <ssi> hm
[19:51:36] <ssi> can I leave it wired as is?
[19:52:34] <PCW> no, the + and - inputs always have a termination resistor across them
[19:52:41] <ssi> gotcha
[19:52:53] <ssi> so if I disconnect the - inputs at the 7i77 and switch to SE mode
[19:52:54] <ssi> that might work
[19:53:32] <ssi> should I ground the - lines?
[19:54:17] <PCW> yep, at least it wont load down the outputs
[19:54:18] <PCW> and no if you want your encoders to live, dont short their outputs to ground
[19:55:54] <ssi> yep, that works
[19:55:59] <PCW> most differential outputs are like 2 TTL outputs so dont short or tie high
[19:57:09] <PCW> we have a splitter for that purpose but you might as well include it on your adapter
[19:57:24] <ssi> yeah
[19:57:39] -!- jduhls has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
[19:57:41] <ssi> the first rev of the adapter was designed for the parker drives, and it's incovenient to wire for the new drives
[19:57:51] <ssi> next rev will include encoder handling and be more convenient for wiring
[19:58:44] <ssi> if I was feeling really fancy I could give it modbus and ADs to read the current and velocity values off the drive :P
[19:59:38] <PCW> modbus is a bit too slow to be of much use for current monitoring (well probably ok for a spindle)
[19:59:54] <ssi> could be done via smartserial though, yeah?
[20:00:13] <ssi> it's sort of a silly extra feature
[20:00:23] <ssi> and it'd probably mean moving up to an fpga to do that correctly

[20:30:36] <ssi> I'm tuning it again with no load, like I did last week on the SE drives, and interestingly it tuned much closer, much more easily
[20:30:39] <ssi> and required no FF2
[20:30:50] <ssi> just some P and FF1 to null the velocity offset
[20:34:16] <JT-Shop> Tom_itx, I get a bit of stretch on both axes and have to adjust my scale to make up for it
[20:36:18] <ssi> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14DKKsuCQWQ
[20:36:37] <ssi> I'm guessing most of this last bit of error noise is the torque ripple
[20:36:55] <ssi> now I can focus on trying to wring the error out of the hallstate converter

[20:44:09] <ssi> yeah
[20:44:20] <ssi> and at high speed (480ipm), it's smooth in one direction but oscillates in the other
[20:44:23] <ssi> not sure what to make of that
[20:45:15] <ssi> but... not gonna jump to conclusions too much until I a) get the hall converter fixed, and b) get a load on it
[20:45:37] <ssi> now that I have velocity feedback, these drives are actually locking up and tuning even easier than the sinusoidals did

[21:05:59] <JT-Shop> holy crap 15 drives?
[21:06:05] <ssi> heh yeah
[21:06:12] <ssi> well right off the bat there's the six parker drives
[21:06:17] <ssi> which are paperweights, sadly
[21:06:32] * JT-Shop doesn't care for Parker anything
[21:06:41] <ssi> yeah well I'm a bit biased against them now
[21:06:43] <JT-Shop> AC servors?
[21:06:46] <ssi> yeah
[21:06:53] <JT-Shop> servos
[21:07:10] <ssi> I have an additional set of challenges in that I'm using the original servos out of the machine
[21:07:15] <ssi> which are fanuc model 5 red caps
[21:07:30] <ssi> 1kw servos with 4-bit fanuc grey code commutation on the encoders
[21:07:37] <ssi> in lieu of hall sensors
[21:07:37] <Deejay> gn8
[21:08:04] <ssi> so I had to build a little cpld board to translate those
[21:08:13] <JT-Shop> wow
[21:08:18] <ssi> and I designed it to work with the parker drives, and such that the cabling would be convenient for them
[21:08:28] -!- skorasaurus has quit [Quit: WeeChat 1.0.1]
[21:08:29] -!- Deejay has quit [Quit: bye]
[21:08:37] <ssi> because the parker drives are sinusoidal, I did a pretty simple converter
[21:08:53] <ssi> sinusoidal drives will switch over to using the encoder for commutation after it gets referenced
[21:09:15] <ssi> the fanuc commutation has 16 states, hall has 6 states
[21:09:18] <ssi> they don't divide evenly
[21:09:35] <ssi> so with my straight lookup table, there's 7.5 electrical degrees of error in my hall state output
[21:09:42] <ssi> on 4 of the 6 transitions
[21:09:42] <JT-Shop> that sounds like some puzzle to sort out
[21:09:59] <ssi> which doesn't matter with a sinusoidal drive, because it's only lumpy for one rev
[21:10:22] <ssi> so I bought those amc SE10A20 sinusoidal drives, which are great but they're too small for these motors
[21:10:37] <ssi> they're 5Ap continuous and 10Ap peak
[21:10:43] <ssi> these motors are 6.8A stall
[21:11:06] <ssi> so I bought BE25A20 drives as well, which I got very very inexpensively thankfully
[21:11:10] <ssi> they're 12.5A/25A drives
[21:11:29] <ssi> and i set one on fire last night
[21:11:32] <ssi> so I ordered another set of three
[21:11:36] <ssi> that adds up to fifteen :)
[21:11:58] <ssi> but since the BE drives are trapezoidal, they use the hall states for commutation all the time
[21:12:10] <ssi> which means my lumpy, non-corrected hallstate converter isn't quite good enough
[21:13:01] <ssi> so what I'm doing is taking the encoder signals into the cpld, and writing some verilog to count lines beyond the index pulse and change hall states more accurately
[21:13:12] -!- jerryitt has quit [Quit: Connection closed for inactivity]
[21:13:31] <JT-Shop> holy crap
[21:13:37] <ssi> so it'll be sort of like the sinusoidal drives do: it'll use the lumpy, table-lookup hallstate values until it passes an index mark, then it'll switch over to using the encoder-derived, accurate states

[21:34:11] <PCW> if its bumpy one way, you may have a offset in the commutation angle

[21:36:00] <ssi> so it's on time, late, early, on time, late, early, on time

[21:36:51] <ssi> it's possible the whole thing is shifted 60 degrees or something, if that's what you mean
[21:37:05] <ssi> if I swap A and C, then it doesn't run, it just sorta jitters in place
