[00:03:46] <JT-Shop> what's the syntax to wait for an input in a M1xx bash file?
[00:08:49] <cradek> consider using M66 instead, but if you must use M1xx here are some clues:

[00:43:07] <cradek> are you using the buildbot 2.5 packages?
[00:43:29] <kb8wmc> I have been
[00:43:53] <kb8wmc> have not had any upgrades in several weeks though
[00:43:56] <cradek> then you already have 2.5.0 and perhaps a change or two afterward (I think there were only doc fixes so far)
[00:44:04] <cradek> odd - you should have
[00:44:25] <kb8wmc> ok
[00:44:37] <Tecan> cradek in 2.5 you cant open image-to-gcode in the open menu of linuxcnc
[00:45:02] <kb8wmc> my last was .626
[00:45:13] <cradek> if you have the filter options set properly, you can just open the image and it will run image-to-gcode for you.
[00:46:02] <Tecan> thats what i mean its not in there to pick
[00:46:05] <cradek> kb8wmc: the latest on 2.5 branch should be dc10e7130a
[00:46:18] <Tecan> ngc is the only thing there
[00:46:18] <kb8wmc> will check
[00:46:25] <cradek> file/open, select an image file like a jpg?
[00:46:39] <Tecan> its not working here
[00:46:58] <cradek> then maybe your config doesn't have image-to-gcode set up as a filter
[00:47:14] <Tecan> oh that might be :) i just used a sample config
[00:47:14] <cradek> you could try the sim/axis config to see how it all works, I'm pretty sure it's set up there.
[00:47:25] <ssi> I bought three of those AMC drives
[00:47:47] <kb8wmc> my last was 626-g402b6cd
[00:48:40] <cradek> that's way way old
[00:48:52] <kb8wmc> oooohhh
[00:49:38] <djdelorie> cradek: there's nothing magic about the python-as-gcode stuff in linuxcnc, is there? With a config line, any language would be supported?
[00:49:41] <cradek> from January some time, just the start of the rebranding
[00:50:08] <cradek> djdelorie: nothing is magic. anything that spits out gcode on stdout makes a fine filter.
[00:50:14] <djdelorie> sweet
[00:50:38] <kb8wmc> I am going to check my software sources
[00:50:40] <cradek> I've used sed as a filter to read a very slightly different dialect of gcode

[02:03:28] <djdelorie> Tecan: for my table, I reduced the steps/rot but that's not something you can do with a stepper ;-)
[02:03:48] <Tecan> no its something in gcode im going to try g97
[02:03:55] <djdelorie> make sure the "max speed" is correct in your ini file for each axis
[02:04:21] <djdelorie> make sure there isn't some confusion between IPM and IPS ?
[02:05:13] <Tecan> whats the fastest feed speed i can set ?
[02:05:25] <Tecan> i have g01 f200
[02:06:37] <djdelorie> the fastest you can set depends on your machine's limits, linuxcnc won't exceed those limits regardless of the gcode
[02:07:21] <skunkworks__> depending on what the moves are - your acceleration has a lot to do with it also..
[02:09:04] <Tecan> its not my limits its the code

[02:22:18] <joe9> alex4nder: is it a bad idea to connect the -VDC (48Volts) to the taig frame?
[02:22:28] <asdfasd> then F200 will give you 200 IPM
[02:22:55] <alex4nder> joe9: you mean as a common ground?
[02:22:58] <asdfasd> this is too fast actually
[02:23:08] <asdfasd> be carefull
[02:24:05] <asdfasd> joe9: ground loops are tricky
[02:24:10] <joe9> alex4nder: yes, but not the GND pin of the ac connection.
[02:24:26] <alex4nder> joe9: I don't ever depend on shared grounds for signals
[02:24:37] <joe9> this is the -ve pin of the PSU.
[02:24:41] <alex4nder> I think it's because I've done a lot of race car wiring, and that stuff will drive you insane if it goes wrong.
[02:25:04] <alex4nder> what's your goal?
[02:25:24] <joe9> i am trying to come up with a crude home switch
[02:25:34] <alex4nder> oh, like a wire running into the chassis?
[02:25:38] <alex4nder> "chassis"
[02:25:40] <joe9> yes.
[02:26:00] <alex4nder> where are you going to contact that isn't painted/annodized?
[02:26:08] <alex4nder> -n
[02:26:27] <joe9> oh, the anodized stuff does not conduct electriccity?
[02:26:37] -!-
FinboySlick has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[02:26:39] <alex4nder> it will, but it's an oxide layer
[02:27:19] <alex4nder> so you're going to have trouble keeping it conductive
[02:27:49] <joe9> i was thinking of having the chasis to the -ve pin of the psu. and having a small copper plate mounted on a double sided scotch tape that is the +ve pin (with a resistor and all that).
[02:28:19] -!-
WalterN has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[02:28:24] <joe9> so, that when the small copper sheet touches the chasis, it is home.
[02:28:25] <alex4nder> it's going to depend on where the ground is attached

[02:28:44] <OhSnapp> lol
[02:28:57] <OhSnapp> f is the spindle speed and s is feed
[02:29:09] <alex4nder> joe9: I think you'll find that approach to be flakey
[02:29:37] <alex4nder> and going to be heavily dependent on where you expect current to flow, and where you're forced to remove paint
[02:29:37] <asdfasd> G95 G96 G97 make a lots of changes
[02:29:49] <joe9> oh, so I am better off with a tactile switch like this:
http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&itemSeq=113121133&uq=634695990904919904
[02:30:17] <asdfasd> better try in G94 mode first, so you can setup all correctly
[02:30:38] <alex4nder> joe9: that didn't load for me, but yah.. a real switch makes sense.
[02:30:38] <joe9> stick it with double sided tape to the axis plate which comes in contact with the chasis at the end of travel.
[02:30:51] <alex4nder> I'd hard mount it
[02:31:15] <alex4nder> unless it's PSA with specified compression characteristics, it's going to be flakey
[02:32:02] <djdelorie> or four switches, in corners of a plate that the bit can hit, wired so that two switches in opposite corners have to close to "activate" ?
[02:32:10] * djdelorie is overthinking again
[02:32:23] <joe9> http://search.digikey.com/us/en/products/TL3310AF200QG/EG4589CT-ND/1794143 alex4nder try this link.
[02:33:04] <alex4nder> joe9: do you think that switch will survive a mill environment?
[02:34:10] <joe9> alex4nder: it will be on the underside of the axis, protected by the waycovers for the x and y axis
[02:34:10] <djdelorie> the four-switch option lets you use a rubber gasket around the perimiter to seal it
[02:34:38] <alex4nder> joe9: well if you trust it
[02:35:03] <joe9> alex4nder: it is just 87cents. should not be a big deal to replace it, if it does not.
[02:35:28] <alex4nder> right, if your time is free, and the annoyance of a failed switch costs nothing.
[02:35:43] <Tom_itx> might be a big deal to replace what it breaks when it fails

demacus_ [demacus_!~demacus@erft-5d80be87.pool.mediaWays.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[02:36:18] <alex4nder> joe9: what's the goal of the switch?
[02:36:30] <joe9> Tom_itx: probably not, it is a home'ing switch.
[02:36:37] <asdfasd> joe9: better take something more durable, and better dust resistant
[02:36:47] <joe9> alex4nder: to identify the end of travel for that axis.
[02:37:02] <alex4nder> so an emergency limit?
[02:37:09] <joe9> and I plan on using limits in the .ini file that correspond to the actual travel per the taig spec.
[02:37:12] <Tom_itx> it looks like a smt rubber bumper switch
[02:37:16] <joe9> alex4nder: no, a home switch.
[02:37:34] <alex4nder> that happens to be where a limit switch is. :D
[02:37:43] <joe9> yes.
[02:37:53] <joe9> only on one side.
[02:37:55] <djdelorie> you probably don't want a home switch that the carriage could damage if it smashes into it. Better to be one that the carriage can go past
[02:38:28] <alex4nder> if you fixture a lot, I could see the reason to make home switches a priority.. but I've never had a need for home switches.
[02:38:45] <alex4nder> I spend all my time with touchoff.

[02:39:33] <djdelorie> I used MS0850505F045S1A switches for mine
[02:40:44] <alex4nder> djdelorie: yah exactly
[02:40:57] <alex4nder> I think the roller and lugs are the ticket
[02:41:46] <djdelorie> the X has a bump-out that swipes past the switch so it won't hurt it; the other two have the switches next to the actual ends so the machine takes the impact
[02:41:52] <alex4nder> joe9: this will all work, the question is 'how long' and 'how well'..
[02:42:10] <alex4nder> I don't use my mill in a professional environment, and my steppers are 166 oz/in.. so ..
[02:42:32] <djdelorie> most reliable is probably a hall switch, uses magnetics, neither dust nor coolant will stop it from working
[02:42:34] <joe9> djdelorie: how did you attach them to the machine?
[02:42:44] <joe9> double-sided scotch mounting tape?
[02:42:51] <joe9> is what I am thinking of.
[02:42:53] <alex4nder> djdelorie: yah, and the sensors are relatively cheap
[02:43:21] <djdelorie> #2 screws through the sides
http://www.delorie.com/photos/cnc/img_2571.html
[02:43:44] <joe9> i do not want to drill my machine to attach the screws.
[02:43:44] <djdelorie> http://www.delorie.com/photos/cnc/img_2561.html shows the X with the bump-out
[02:44:35] <alex4nder> joe9: there are quite a few mounting locations that could be used
[02:45:03] <alex4nder> I was thinking of mounting a bracket under the way cover mount point
[02:45:10] <alex4nder> and then the switches would screw into that
[02:45:32] <djdelorie> if you rely on tape and it fails, your next home damages the machine
[02:45:43] <joe9> alex4nder: good idea.
[02:46:16] <joe9> djdelorie: i noticed that when I get the axis past the end, it just rotates and nothing happens. not sure if it is a good idea to let it happen many times.
[02:46:43] <alex4nder> do that at 60 IPM
[02:46:45] <alex4nder> it's fun
[02:47:09] <djdelorie> I managed to bend a 3/8-16 screw rod on my test jig when the motor didn't stop at the end
[02:47:23] <alex4nder> you're also using frankenservos
[02:47:39] <djdelorie> 100 oz-in continuous
[02:49:49] <alex4nder> joe9: the cool thing is, now that you have a mill you can make all the brackets yourself

[02:51:52] <alex4nder> one that you can reach out and smack?
[02:51:53] <djdelorie> alex4nder: the problem with restoring an antique machine, is that you *have* to make all the parts yourself
[02:52:11] <joe9> alex4nder: no, I am just using a light switch as an e-stop still.
[02:52:14] * djdelorie still needs to add a *power* switch
[02:52:21] <alex4nder> joe9: the light switch? you mean for the spindle?
[02:52:29] <alex4nder> or some other light switch
[02:52:32] <joe9> no, as the e-stop switch too.
[02:52:40] <alex4nder> ah
[02:52:49] <alex4nder> well if you ask me, a giant e-stop is way more important than limit switches
[02:52:51] <alex4nder> or home
[02:53:03] <joe9> ok, will get one from digikey.
[02:53:13] <alex4nder> djdelorie: one is probably a machining badass before the antique machine purchase.
[02:53:21] <alex4nder> djdelorie: plus, machines beget more machines. ;)
[02:53:23] <djdelorie> not in this case
[02:53:32] <djdelorie> it was my father-in-law's lathe before he passed away
[02:53:33] <alex4nder> well the best of luck then
[02:54:18] <joe9> e-stop switches are pretty expensive.
[02:54:52] <alex4nder> you just bought a $1200 mill
[02:55:00] <joe9> yeah, i know.
[02:55:24] <alex4nder> I personally like Omron's giant e-stop switches
[02:55:49] <djdelorie> perhaps I should use standard big-tool power switches, the type you can just smack to shut off
[02:56:09] <Valen> estop stuff should be bashable
[02:56:25] <Valen> because if you are stopping in the case of an E you will bash it ;->
[02:56:33] <djdelorie> most of my woodworking tools have a "hit without looking" off switch
[02:56:41] <Valen> we ran without limit switches for ages
[02:56:44] <alex4nder> djdelorie: that's what Omron's e-stop switches are.
[02:56:49] <Valen> actually we still are running without limits
[02:56:52] <alex4nder> smash to kill, rotate to reset.
[02:57:01] <djdelorie> except these are the main power switches, not the big e-stop switches
[02:57:11] <Valen> but now we have the index pulses on our slides connected as home switches
[02:57:16] <alex4nder> nice
[02:57:21] <Valen> so it doesn't hit the limits anyway
[02:57:45] <Valen> we had fuses in the motor lines so running into the end made a bad noise and blew a fuse
[02:57:51] <djdelorie> like this one:
http://www.grizzly.com/products/Magnetic-On-Off-Switch-110V-6-Amps/G8992
[02:58:25] <Valen> i wouldn't use one of those unless it had one of those covers that means bashing it will only turn it off
[02:58:38] <Valen> http://www.grizzly.com/products/110V-Paddle-On-Off-Switch/H8241 like this kinda
[02:58:51] <alex4nder> yah, that you could throw a baseball at
[02:58:53] <Valen> but those are a pain, the twist ones are easy to use
[02:59:14] <Valen> problem with the two button one is you could still hit the wrong one
[02:59:26] <djdelorie> most of mine have a recessed ON and a protruding OFF. Except the delta, which just puts a collar around ON so you can't "just" smack it
[03:00:01] <djdelorie> like this, which I hate:

[03:00:24] <alex4nder> I'm going to replace my Omron with a Hello Kitty lightswitch
[03:00:35] <alex4nder> it's illuminated
[03:00:45] <djdelorie> and you enjoy smacking it ? ;-)
[03:01:13] <alex4nder> yes; I always thought Hello Kitty sucked
[03:08:24] <OhSnapp> cradek theres something wrong with g97, it wont allow itself to be set without adjusting the feed rate
[03:15:45] <OhSnapp> no wonder... feed rate is the feed per revolution... i should still be able to make it go faster wth
[03:37:57] <OhSnapp> its strange if i set g01 f6 or f7 it gets its fastest
[03:38:09] <OhSnapp> any higher or lower is bad
[03:42:24] <OhSnapp> awe sweet its getting faster
[03:43:52] <OhSnapp> tis working afterall sorry
[03:45:25] <OhSnapp> it seems to be capped though
[03:46:50] <OhSnapp> i have to many lines of gcode im thinking

[04:48:27] <Tecan> hmmm one sec i think you need 60 for that
[04:48:57] <ssi> 60 may be doable
[04:49:01] <ssi> above that it gets real spendy real fast
[04:49:20] <Tecan> 40 had no effect
[04:49:28] <Tecan> i was just using the test button though
[04:49:48] <ssi> well I've also heard you need some special coatings to make engraving work well with light power lasers
[04:50:08] <ssi> In order to engrave on bare metal, you'll need a laser engraver with a minimum of 25 watts and utilize a metal marking spray such as Cermark.

[04:54:31] <Tecan> thanks

[05:26:00] <Tecan> do you guys know off hand if its possable to send more commands while its waiting to finish a g01 ?
[05:26:09] <ssi> sure, but they queue up
[05:26:56] <Tecan> i thought emc is threaded though :)
[05:28:40] <djdelorie> but your machine is not
[05:29:03] <Tecan> i just want to send spindle speeds
[05:29:19] <Tecan> thats a diff pin
[05:29:45] <Tecan> maybe it does send them
[05:29:58] <Tecan> i just need to interpolate more
[05:31:22] <Tecan> it just seemed like it was waiting on the g01 commands to finish
[05:31:23] <ssi> spindle override is the only way I know of to vary spindle speed once you're already in a move
