[00:33:10] <furrywolf> note to self: glass is HARD.
[00:33:30] <furrywolf> I couldn't find my glass cutter, so tried scoring it with a file... I now have a round-corner file.
[00:34:17] <furrywolf> and a fucking shit edge on my glass, with a couple spiders heading in.
[00:36:32] <SpeedEvil> No diamond rings?
[00:36:47] <furrywolf> no
[00:36:56] <SpeedEvil> Or tile-cutting stuff?
[00:37:02] * furrywolf a) is single, and b) doesn't like jewlery
[00:37:05] <furrywolf> nope
[00:37:18] <furrywolf> anyway, it's done now... it's just a shit job, which I don't like doing.
[00:38:19] <SpeedEvil> If you've got dremel bits, or similar - with diamond coating - drilling a stop-hole is a good plan
[00:38:23] <furrywolf> I'm working on the enclosed porch here, which has 46 (I think that's what I counted) old redwood windows... I replaced three that were broken, but one of them is installed backwards, with the glazing facing in... and over the studs, so I'd have to pull the frame out to reglaze it. since it was just a hole in it, while the others were completely missing panes, I glued a random square of glass over the hole.
[00:38:50] <furrywolf> and the way it's built, it's never coming out... so a patch will do.
[00:39:31] <furrywolf> unfortunately, due to the lack of a glass cutter, while I was trying for a square patch, I got two of the sides nice, but the third, with the file corners the dullest, is wavy, missing a corner, and has a spider.

[00:44:30] <_methods> hahahha
[00:44:52] <SpeedEvil> Ah
[00:45:32] <furrywolf> I had scrap glass... I cut it out of one of the broken pieces from one of the other windows.
[00:45:49] <_methods> you don't have scissors
[00:46:16] <furrywolf> ?
[00:46:22] <cradek> do you have a grinding wheel dressing diamond? I've never tried that, but I bet it would work.
[00:47:01] <furrywolf> nope
[00:47:13] <furrywolf> I have lots of things in storage somewhere, but here I don't have much.
[00:47:28] <furrywolf> and "in storage somewhere" usually translates to "go buy another one" if it's less than $20. heh.

[00:48:56] <furrywolf> does it have to be a video?
[00:49:06] amnesic_away is now known as amnesic
[00:49:16] <_methods> i grabbed a video just for you
[00:49:31] <furrywolf> also, I tried with a nice Irwin utility knife blade, and it just mushed the blade without even scratching the glass
[00:50:51] <furrywolf> they make special pliers-like things for cutting stained glass like that
[00:51:06] <furrywolf> it's not good for straight cuts, or real window glass...
[00:53:08] <cradek> it actually worked pretty well
[00:53:26] <cradek> it didn't make any noise while scoring, which made me think nothing was happening, but it left behind a nice scratch
[00:54:02] <_methods> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5u7SCNVYTA
[00:54:11] <_methods> that guy is cutting a regular window just fine
[00:54:21] <_methods> pretty damn straight too
[00:54:44] <_methods> for a meth head
[00:55:12] <MacGalempsy_> Hello :]
[00:55:25] <_methods> i had no idea you could cut glass with scissors
[00:55:31] <furrywolf> that's not a methhead.

[00:55:39] <furrywolf> it's more crushing than cutting
[00:56:10] <cradek> underwater I think you can even drill it with a hand drill
[00:56:21] <_methods> cool i had no idea you could do that either
[00:56:33] <_methods> i know the copper pipe and sand trick
[00:56:56] <MacGalempsy_> When the counts of an encoder are unknown, is there a way to count the pulses in LinuxCNC?
[00:57:01] <furrywolf> tweek is a serious problem here, and I've seen plenty of tweekers... neither of them are tweekers.
[00:57:24] <cradek> MacGalempsy_: sure, mark the shaft and turn it 10 or 100 turns and look at the count you get
[00:57:26] <_methods> it was a joke i was making about their appearance
[00:57:38] <furrywolf> and he's not making straight cuts through the middle of a piece, he's making rounded corners.
[00:57:50] amnesic is now known as amnesic_away
[00:57:57] <cradek> yeah that wouldn't be quite so possible
[00:58:03] <_methods> ok well i guess you just won't be cutting glass with scissors

[02:58:38] <dirty_d> the top of the hub needs to just have a 4mm stump, so the hole cant go through
[02:59:24] <dirty_d> also this thing will see less than 1Nm of torque

[04:44:02] <zeeshan> i get a shitty surface finish
[04:44:09] <zeeshan> with cnmg , vnmg inserts
[04:44:18] <Cromaglious> true on good hubs not te crappy ones I have which are all over 10 years old
[04:44:19] <zeeshan> i was looking at the tool post today
[04:44:34] <zeeshan> i think its flexing under load
[04:45:31] <PetefromTn_> what's wrong with a hot dog stand? I love hot dogs..
[04:46:15] <PetefromTn_> maybe I should make cuban sandwiches like in that movie and become famous?
[04:46:34] <zeeshan> those are delicious! :D
[04:47:09] <PetefromTn_> yeah I know especially if they are made by real cubans!
[04:47:37] <PetefromTn_> This new Hawaii 5-0 series is pretty good! I am enjoying it quite a bit so far...
[04:49:22] <renesis> oh man hot dog stand at school has sierra nevada brewery mustard
[04:49:25] <renesis> i get the stout
[04:50:31] <PetefromTn_> there are some good mustards out there huh.
[04:50:44] <PetefromTn_> I like the ones with horseradish a bit

[05:10:10] <Cromaglious> snow == Dihydrogen Monoxide in the Cocaine Forulation -- White and Fluffy -- And it will kill you if you over dose on it.
[05:12:51] <Cromaglious> Or the Crack formulation -- Yellow hard lumps -- which if you shoot it from a gun you can kill with it
[05:14:43] <Cromaglious> The white powder formulation is the smack or Heroin. People go out of their way to get high on it. Peooooooople have been known to die from tripping on it
[05:15:18] <Cromaglious> or lose control and break bones
[05:21:41] <MacGalempsy> I love that scene in Better Off Dead when Booger is on the mountain.
[05:22:09] <bobo_> Cromaglious where you are , how much time ( hours---minutes ) is property owner allowed to have snow on sidewalk ? before being fined
[05:22:21] <MacGalempsy> This mountain is 100% snow! Do you know the street value of this? <take a sniff> I can feel the right side of my brain going numb!

[06:27:57] <MacGalempsy> renesis: which part?
[06:28:56] <renesis> edge of sac valley
[06:29:15] <renesis> biggest issue is no driving roads locally
[06:29:32] <renesis> but thunderhill is like <45min away
[06:30:04] <renesis> a lot closer than laguna seca was to LA, so thats neat '
[06:32:10] <Cromaglious> Im sitting on the couch andf now I can't read this screen
[06:32:12] <MacGalempsy> you need to take the old gold highway
[06:32:21] <renesis> which is that?
[06:32:27] <MacGalempsy> let me find it
[06:32:35] <renesis> one of the roads out to arcata?
[06:32:35] <MacGalempsy> brb need a cup of coffee

[06:34:50] <renesis> coffee sounds good

[06:38:04] <renesis> i dunno man merging in LA is an art
[06:38:27] <Cromaglious> Merge? It more like barge
[06:38:36] <icecube45> So.. I got a bebopr++ board to control my 3d printer (it was a free board.. soo).. And the only software the bebopr++ seems to support is linuxcnc.. the problem is that I have no idea what i'm doing when it comes to linuxcnc.. how to calibrate things, how to operate it.. are there any good guides or any good documentation I can check out?
[06:38:41] <renesis> hey if thats what it takes to get it done quick
[06:38:43] <Cromaglious> hmmm Cuppa Char somes good
[06:39:05] <renesis> ew, drinkin that burn shit
[06:39:59] <Cromaglious> icecube, read, read, read some more, then, screw stuff up for a week or so until it starts clicking together in your head, and Viola it WORKS!
[06:40:21] <icecube45> Cromaglious, wohoo..
[06:40:35] <icecube45> Cromaglious, my main problem is that this board I have has 2 pages of documentation..
[06:40:43] <icecube45> but that's not something you guys can solve..
[06:41:15] <renesis> well, enough people in here can prob help you figure it out
[06:41:22] <icecube45> I hope so..
[06:41:45] <icecube45> Ok.. well
[06:41:48] <icecube45> here's another tricky part
[06:41:59] <icecube45> The machine I have is a GUS Simpson, aka a grounded delta..
[06:42:09] <icecube45> From what I can gather, linuxcnc needs some special configuration for that..
[06:42:16] <icecube45> Is this correct?

[06:43:07] <icecube45> Yea
[06:43:08] <icecube45> fun printer
[06:43:16] <icecube45> but for some reason I have a bebopr++...
[06:43:26] <icecube45> I dont know what the previous owner was thinking
[06:43:32] <renesis> yeah thats not a typical machine tool
[06:43:40] <icecube45> although the fact that they gave up with a ton of parts should tell me something..
[06:43:44] <icecube45> I think they attached one bolt..
[06:44:13] <icecube45> Yea.. renesis.. there's a python script as a gcode preprocessor
[06:44:22] <icecube45> to convert standard xyz to the movement required for the gus..
[06:44:38] <icecube45> if I feed that gcode into linuxcnc, would it work? (going slic3r -> preprocessor -> linuxcnc)
[06:44:47] <icecube45> or would I need fancy configuration on the linuxcnc side?
[06:45:01] <MacGalempsy> renesis: what side of the valley are you on?
[06:45:48] <renesis> well, assuming the gcode converter is doing obvious things, it should be easy enough to setup the axis configs
[06:46:02] <icecube45> Alright..
[06:46:03] <renesis> but no idea how visualization will work
[06:46:12] <icecube45> I dont need visulization
[06:46:14] <icecube45> or anything fancy
[06:46:23] <icecube45> as far as I'm concerned, this will be strictly fed gcode..
[06:46:55] <renesis> youll probably need to interact with it to setup machine and workspace origins
[06:47:03] <MacGalempsy> renesis: two recommendations 1) probably the best is Del Puerto Canyon Road. It connects I5 to San Jose through a paved back country road that is 1 lane wide in many places 2) highway 49 (Motherload Highway)
[06:47:25] <renesis> honestly the output on the display prob looks random but i bet it starts to make sense to you after a few runs, heh

[06:49:59] <renesis> macgalempsy: woah neat @ del puerto canyon
[06:50:13] <renesis> i usually cut across from the 5 to the 101 at the 156
[06:50:13] <MacGalempsy> yeah dude, that is the best one and probably the least known about
[06:50:19] <renesis> to avoid cow ocean
[06:51:01] <MacGalempsy> you wont save any time, but the experience is fantastic, I use to have a 1990 VW Corrado and would basically drift every corner on that road
[06:51:07] <renesis> right
[06:51:21] <renesis> if i wanted to save time i wouldnt be cutting over to the 101 in the first place
[06:51:53] <renesis> beach is nice, cow ocean sucks, also cars dont like the grapevine
[06:52:01] <MacGalempsy> another good one is J59 between Jamestown and Turlock
[06:52:24] <MacGalempsy> beware of HiPos on j59
[06:52:41] <renesis> ha, k
[06:53:07] <MacGalempsy> 108 from Sonora to 395 is cool, once you get past Strawberry its balls to the walls
[06:53:08] <Cromaglious> had a boss with a Corrado.. we would get 6 people in it for trips to Fry's in Hayward... I'd usually end up in back behind the seat

[06:53:59] <icecube45> renesis, this'l be quick
[06:54:06] <icecube45> I'm assuming scale is steps/mm, right?

[06:54:57] <renesis> right i dont remember it being unit specific
[06:55:02] <icecube45> archivist, where?..

[07:08:51] <archivist> there is homing, google "linuxcnc homing" many ways to skin that cat
[07:10:22] <archivist> most only home the machine when it is started
[07:10:31] <icecube45> archivist, alright
[07:12:26] <archivist> if it is a proper stable machine it wont need to be rehomed, but touch off, set xyz to 0,0,0 to some place in space is different

[07:15:44] <zeeshan> to 10 ipm
[07:15:50] <zeeshan> still get ploughing, and even worse
[07:15:52] <zeeshan> at higher speed

[07:16:52] <zeeshan> :)
[07:17:31] <Connor> zeeshan: You get your ball nut figured out ?
[07:17:37] <zeeshan> yea connor
[07:17:40] <zeeshan> somewhat
[07:17:46] <zeeshan> its not seizing as bad anymore
[07:17:50] <zeeshan> i can turn it with my fingers
[07:17:58] <Connor> What did you change?
[07:18:05] <archivist> that lathe has a cyclic finish which seems to be an out of size ball wandering around the spindle
[07:18:10] <zeeshan> i put each ball nut seperately
[07:18:12] <zeeshan> got them close
[07:18:18] <zeeshan> tried to put the wedge in
[07:18:25] <zeeshan> grinded it till it fit right
[07:18:37] <Connor> OKay, so too much preload.
[07:18:40] <zeeshan> yes
[07:18:47] <zeeshan> also i adjusted the preload
[07:18:50] <zeeshan> on the fixed support
[07:18:55] <zeeshan> im still getting 2.5 thou of backlash
[07:18:57] <zeeshan> from somewhere
[07:19:01] <Connor> so, they turned nicely separately then..
[07:19:09] <zeeshan> kind of.
[07:19:14] <zeeshan> 3 of the balls came out
[07:19:16] <zeeshan> from one of th eball nuts
[07:19:24] <zeeshan> i just said f it
[07:19:27] <zeeshan> and left it as is
[07:19:32] <zeeshan> it seems to be spinning fine
[07:19:42] <Connor> Ick. That's not good. That means they jumped the ball return.
[07:19:50] <zeeshan> well its impossible
[07:19:52] <zeeshan> to get that shit on there
[07:19:55] <zeeshan> i tried 4 different times
[07:19:58] <zeeshan> they keep jumping off
[07:20:06] <Jymmm> ssi: They sent me the wrong computer, no burner. Waiting for their reply
[07:20:16] <Connor> No, it's not impossible.. just VERY difficult.
[07:20:26] <zeeshan> you think thats why i mgetting the 2.5 thou backlash?
[07:20:30] <zeeshan> even though its preloaded?
[07:20:44] <Connor> You might be better off just ordering another screw with the double nut already installed.
[07:21:04] <Connor> That sounds like it's from bearings or ballnut mount.
[07:21:27] <zeeshan> or i can just put the single ball nut back on.
[07:21:27] <archivist> should be visible/measurable
[07:21:28] <Connor> unless you ended up taking all the preload out.
[07:21:37] <zeeshan> well heres the thing
[07:21:49] <zeeshan> if i tighten that bearing block square nut too much
[07:21:56] <zeeshan> i can notice the screw getting too tight.
[07:21:59] <zeeshan> er
[07:22:04] <zeeshan> the screw getting to hard to turn
[07:22:09] <zeeshan> so it cant be overtorqued
[07:22:17] <archivist> block not square to machine
[07:22:20] <zeeshan> so thats kinda how i know all the backlash is removed
[07:22:31] <archivist> screw not parallel
[07:22:44] <Connor> That's the preload on the bearing. I was saying you may have removed the preload on the ballnut.
[07:22:49] <archivist> bending the screw
[07:22:52] <zeeshan> archivist: no
[07:23:04] <zeeshan> i was turning the screw
[07:23:09] <zeeshan> on just the fixed support.
[07:23:18] <zeeshan> to get a gauge of how much preload was on there
[07:23:21] <Connor> That doesn't mean you don't have play in the bearing pocket..
[07:23:32] <zeeshan> well
[07:23:35] <zeeshan> Z is really hard to check for
[07:23:40] <zeeshan> cause im pulling with 100+lb of force
[07:23:46] <zeeshan> and i cant get it to register on the indicator
[07:24:05] <zeeshan> with x axis i could pull on the axis, and register movement of the entire screw
[07:24:13] <Connor> I would add another 2 thou worth of shims between the bearings.
[07:24:22] <zeeshan> i added 5 thou
[07:24:23] <Connor> and see what you end up with.
[07:24:24] <archivist> another place some never see, the slide is rotating on the bed
[07:24:26] <zeeshan> it still was 2 thou after
[07:24:33] <zeeshan> i went 5 thou shim, then another 5 thou
[07:24:39] <zeeshan> first time it read 5 thou backlash
[07:24:41] <archivist> adjust gibs
[07:24:47] <zeeshan> after 5 thou shim, it read 3 though backlash
[07:24:58] <zeeshan> after another 5 thou shim, (10 thou total now) it read 2 though
[07:25:09] <zeeshan> and after another 5 though (15 thou total) still reading 2 thou backlash
[07:25:23] <archivist> so barking up wrong tree
[07:25:25] -!- mk0 [mk0!~Orr@plasmoteg-1.bas-net.by] has joined #linuxcnc
[07:25:27] <zeeshan> yea :/
[07:25:33] <zeeshan> what gives?
[07:25:36] <zeeshan> *gibs
[07:25:41] <zeeshan> theres only a gibe on the cross slide
[07:25:49] <zeeshan> *gib
[07:25:54] <Connor> Is the backlash your testing for load or no load ?
[07:26:01] <archivist> check slide in the way, is it a flats front and back
[07:26:10] <zeeshan> connor just me pulling and pushing on the axis of interest
[07:26:31] <Connor> So, that COULD be deflection.
[07:26:31] <archivist> how does it adjust on the bed
[07:26:35] <zeeshan> nahh
[07:26:40] <zeeshan> deflection springs back on the indicator
[07:26:44] <zeeshan> not just stays in one spot
[07:26:59] <Connor> okay. what about the ballnut mount? any movement on it ?
[07:27:08] <archivist> nah that is indecator deflection, not machine part deflection
[07:27:37] <zeeshan> http://image.slidesharecdn.com/01part102partsofalathe-140723041721-phpapp01/95/01-part1-02-parts-of-a-lathe-12-638.jpg?cb=1406107084
[07:27:45] <zeeshan> my lathe bed looks like that
[07:27:55] <zeeshan> there is no mechanism to adjust the gibs
[07:28:04] <zeeshan> gravity lines it up to the slideways
[07:28:15] <zeeshan> there are some bolts
[07:28:23] <zeeshan> that pull it more down
[07:28:27] <zeeshan> hard to explain
[07:28:36] <Connor> 2nd question: You try removing the bearing mount rubber thingies ?
[07:28:37] <archivist> if the is shite under the V it will rock/rotate
[07:28:52] <zeeshan> Connor: yea, didnt help
[07:29:20] <archivist> bad finish also says the slide is loose
[07:29:29] <Cromaglious> nite nite
[07:29:30] <zeeshan> by slide
[07:29:33] <zeeshan> which part are you referring to
[07:29:35] <zeeshan> cross slide?
[07:29:36] <zeeshan> or the carriage
[07:29:52] <Connor> if your getting 2 thou and it's not from the bearing pocket, and not from the bearing mount..the the only other place would be the screw. I'm thinking something is really f*cked with that ballnut / screw
[07:29:58] <archivist> the bottom clamps dont pull down on an upturned V bed
[07:30:15] <zeeshan> archivist: yea
[07:30:17] <zeeshan> theyre only there for safety
[07:30:25] <zeeshan> just incase for some reason it decides to lift up
[07:30:45] <zeeshan> isn't it held down just by gravity?
[07:30:59] <zeeshan> Connor: i wish i could somehow for sure measure backlash of the ball nut
[07:31:02] <zeeshan> by isolating it from the system
[07:31:46] <archivist> I cannot know you need to investigate, bar in spindle, dti on cross slide, set to a 0, lean all directions on cross slide and carriage only
[07:31:47] <Connor> Well try using the stepper and testing for backlash with the screw itself instead of pushing/pulling
[07:32:01] <zeeshan> Connor: i do both
[07:32:48] <archivist> it is a chinese lump?
[07:32:54] <zeeshan> ??

[07:34:35] <zeeshan> ive had this lathe for years
[07:34:42] <zeeshan> it was getting amazing finishes when it was manual
[07:34:46] <archivist> does the V contact the whole length
[07:34:47] <zeeshan> something changed when i converted to cnc
[07:34:57] <zeeshan> it's not the v-groove
[07:35:08] <archivist> you took it to bits :)
[07:35:12] <zeeshan> yes
[07:35:12] <zeeshan> lol
[07:35:59] <archivist> like I said a bit of dirt in that V could be bad finish and backlash
[07:36:10] <zeeshan> i cleaned it so well
[07:36:12] <zeeshan> with brake cleaner
[07:36:18] <zeeshan> and then lubed her up

[08:27:11] <zeeshan> see the raised burr?
[08:28:03] <zeeshan> i tried experimenting with height offset
[08:28:06] <zeeshan> it seemed to help a bit
[08:30:12] <archivist> what metal
[08:30:46] <zeeshan> 1045
[08:30:55] <zeeshan> its worse on hot roll
[08:31:07] <archivist> number means nothing to me
[08:31:54] <zeeshan> 1045 steel
[08:32:01] <zeeshan> .45% carbon
[08:32:08] <zeeshan> medium carbon steel
[08:32:43] <zeeshan> for some reason
[08:32:45] <zeeshan> a2 and stainless
[08:32:48] <zeeshan> cut very nice
[08:36:36] <archivist> what state is in in too hard soft
[08:36:48] <zeeshan> soft state
[08:37:15] <archivist> I find some metals are very fussy, about lube
[08:38:21] <archivist> if another insert type is better use it for the finish cur after roughing

[08:38:38] <zeeshan> i guess ill need to order some vcmt inserts then
[08:38:43] <zeeshan> theyre the most common ones i use
[08:38:50] <zeeshan> ccmt is pretty crappy for cnc
[08:38:55] <zeeshan> cause of its geometry..
[08:39:33] <archivist> but from here that looks work hardening
[08:39:48] <zeeshan> the raised burr?
[08:39:57] <archivist> and finish
[08:40:11] <zeeshan> does work harden surface finish
[08:40:12] <archivist> mainly finish
[08:40:13] <zeeshan> feel like sand paper?
[08:40:21] <archivist> yes
[08:40:24] <zeeshan> why the raised burr though?
[08:40:38] <zeeshan> we were discussing this a couple classes back
[08:40:50] <zeeshan> that when you "plough" instead of cut
[08:40:55] <zeeshan> youll like raise a burr
[08:41:01] <archivist> not sharp enough, its rubbing and pushing it up
[08:41:11] <zeeshan> the insert?

[09:03:45] <Valen> I need to make a long (30mm) 3mm steel shaft that is a nice fit on some bearings
[09:04:20] <archivist> buy it in
[09:04:37] <archivist> a bit of 3mm silver steel
[09:04:46] <Valen> needs to go from 30mm to 3mm as a T shape and be accurate
[09:05:00] <Valen> its making a motor end cap for a brushless outrunner motor
[09:05:30] <Valen> oh and the top of the T is ~1mm thick
[09:05:32] <archivist> it is some thing I would turn the finish to size with wet and dry
[09:05:57] <archivist> turn then
[09:06:29] <Valen> part of my issue is getting a decent finish on it, its 4140 steel and everybody seems to indicate I should be taking a deep cut to get a finish
[09:06:30] <archivist> or rivet a disk on
[09:07:03] <Valen> last one we did a bit like that, reamed fit then peened the top of it out, it lasted a while but its come lose
[09:07:53] <archivist> we often made shafts longer on the clock lathes which were for a pinion, we would rivet on the wheel
[09:08:30] <Valen> this is for robot wars, I'm putting an O ring on the outside of the motor can and using it to friction drive a ring
[09:08:51] <Valen> http://imgur.com/a/ccQ3N is where I'm up to so far
[09:09:21] <Valen> the cad showing the motor bit is quite out of date ;->
[09:09:23] <archivist> blank screen on imgur on older browsers
[09:09:34] <Valen> thats odd
[09:09:58] <Valen> http://i.imgur.com/GMeszR3.png
[09:10:05] <archivist> not odd many sites are becoming broken with JS and "web2"
[09:10:49] <Valen> true enough
http://i.imgur.com/ctvZxvJ.jpg is some of it cut
[09:11:00] <Valen> I presume those work?
[09:11:03] <Valen> (2nd one is large)
[09:11:28] <archivist> yes
[09:11:48] <Valen> so the joint will see some signifigant side loadings
[09:13:56] <archivist> press fit too, and sufficient hub on the disk

[09:17:28] <Valen> but in theory a tool post grinder is the right way to achieve what i want making that T piece yes?
[09:18:04] <archivist> only the finish "cut"
[09:18:30] <Valen> yeah, machine it down to .something of a mm oversize then finish with the grinder?
[09:18:39] <Valen> .something small
[09:18:39] <archivist> heating means you have to take special care to avoid warping
[09:19:29] <archivist> is the hardened metal or harden later
[09:19:34] <Valen> hardned
[09:19:37] <Valen> pre
[09:19:53] <archivist> going to move while machined
[09:20:32] <Valen> but it should be able to do the grinding without deflecting the shaft (or at least a whole bunch less than it would if it were cutting with a tool)
[09:21:23] <archivist> the width of the grinding face needs to be small
[09:21:44] <Valen> the one I'm thinking of is about 8mm
[09:22:08] <archivist> I think a press fit is going to be more accurate and easier
[09:22:31] <Valen> i gotta go get some dinners, will you be on in a while?
[09:22:32] * Loetmichel has just seen a 6mm sheet aluminium plate bend to banana form because of machining... that can have SERIOUS bends there
[09:22:36] <archivist> 8mm hot one side of 3mm is silly

[09:23:24] <archivist> not booked for anything yet
[09:25:12] <Loetmichel> it moven up about 30mm on a 450mm length cut
[09:27:06] <archivist> I machined a CD sized 2mm cut out in 3mm al once, local machining company said impossible, I used a rotary table and "care"

[11:13:00] <MacGalempsy> man. that stinks
[11:13:55] <MacGalempsy> we didnt get more than a couple inches. my wife wanted to snowboard down the driveway
[11:16:18] <jthornton> yea, I have to plow the driveway and the county road to get out today and to get the wifes car up to the garage
[11:16:43] <MacGalempsy> I hope shes not still in it :)
[11:17:11] <jthornton> no, but she did get lost in the blizzard yesterday and I had to go rescue her

[11:19:44] <MacGalempsy> I was reading this article the other day about a canadian man who was on his way to a hospital and got stuck in a snow drift. He bailed out to go to a house he saw and didnt make it to the house. After laying there stuck for an hour, he said his final prayers. Basically, he was like if now is my time, then I am content. Then almost instantly a guy who was plowing his sons drivesway reached down and grabbed him

[12:17:20] <moorbo> archivist: ah, I just have some questions

[12:17:40] <moorbo> others*
[12:17:55] <moorbo> I have a billion tables, but I just some explanation about things
[12:18:19] <moorbo> I figured people who probably machine using those tolerences on a daily basis would be good to ask
[12:18:48] <moorbo> I just don't know what norms are used everywhere or not
[12:20:22] <jthornton> now the lathe profile generator is working like I want besides Axis
[12:23:24] <archivist> moorbo depends on needs, like a bolt and hole, easy to assemble, rough location, exact location, running fit(bearing) pick one from a chart
[12:23:45] <archivist> press fit (interference)
[12:24:18] <archivist> fits vary with diameter too
[12:25:01] <archivist> below an inch a press fit is very material and experience based
[12:25:49] <archivist> http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa294/oldtiffie/Limits_and%20_Fits/Limits_and_Fits11.jpg shows the application at the bottom
[12:28:52] <MacGalempsy> so I watched a few youtube videos to try and understand the pullup scenario better. with a 24v field power the mesa card senses low below 9.6v and high at anything over 14.4v. the output of the amp during a fault is 2v. I understand that a resistor needs to be used to drop the 24v down to 9.6v, bot how do I use a pullup to get it to 14.4v?
[12:29:25] <archivist> moorbo, actually it is the designer who should no, the machinist is working to a spec and may only see one side of the problem (shaft or hole)
[12:29:32] <archivist> no know

[12:30:36] <MacGalempsy> cpresser: was hoping for an example
[12:30:58] <archivist> the amp manual may have your example
[12:31:54] <archivist> or mesa card manual as it knows the input impedance
[12:33:32] <cpresser> MacGalempsy: there is an example on that page. i see a nice schematic
[12:36:44] <MacGalempsy> this is the manual, and it says the voltage for the fault is 5-50v, anyone mind taking a look and helping me figure out which resistor may need to be changed in the header?

[12:49:07] <SpeedEvil> Converting 5V to 2V is also not hard
[12:49:28] <MacGalempsy> so how would I go from 2v to 24v?
[12:49:38] <MacGalempsy> in terms for a retard like me
[12:51:10] <archivist> if it is actually an open collector then it is trivial a resistor from pin 14 to 24v
[12:52:01] <archivist> I would be exploring in the unit :)
[12:54:37] <archivist> or ask them if it is open collector and safe for 24v pull up

[13:11:17] <Deejay> hi
[13:11:29] <taiden> I have a CAM package that doesn't do patterning for cutting multiple parts... stupid, I know, but it's what I got
[13:11:43] <taiden> are there any tools for patterning that I should check out?
[13:12:28] <jthornton> G54, 55 56 etc
[13:12:40] <taiden> i'm doing around 16 parts at a time
[13:13:11] <Tom_itx> add +3" to all x moves
[13:13:17] <Tom_itx> etc
[13:13:28] <Tom_itx> or y
[13:13:31] <jthornton> use G92 after moving to new location
[13:13:31] <Tom_itx> pick an axis
[13:14:00] * jthornton goes back to GTK+2 as 3 is buggy
[13:14:18] <taiden> so for example G0 X3, G92, run program again
[13:14:23] <Tom_itx> jthornton are you digging tunnels today to get to work?
[13:14:48] <taiden> didn't ncgui do rectilinear patterning?
[13:14:48] <jthornton> yea, just don't forget to turn off G92 at the end
[13:15:12] <jthornton> Tom_itx, I have about 12-15" of snow and have not been out yet lol
[13:15:32] <malcom2073> Nice, we're only at about 4" here, but it's still coming down

[13:16:37] <jthornton> so move to the next XY 0 and do G92 X0 Y0 then run your code then do G92.1

[13:19:40] <Tom_itx> it's actually fairly clear here
[13:19:48] <Tom_itx> maybe 1" still on the gnd

[13:21:34] <_methods> hehe it's 81 here today
[13:21:36] <_methods> weeeeeeeeeee
[13:21:40] <_methods> it was 80 yesterday
[13:21:46] <_methods> had to fire up the AC
[13:23:31] <tjtr33> MacGalempsy, I use coppleys. see what happen w/o any mesa connection on p14 (other connetions as usual ).
[13:23:39] <tjtr33> measure p14(/normal) to p10(gnd) as in diagram.
[13:23:45] <tjtr33> if led is red, then you should see near 0.5V.
[13:23:46] <tjtr33> if green, you should have close to 5V. if you see 2V, something is broke.
[13:24:06] <tjtr33> it has interbal 5v for this output pin
[13:24:48] <rob_h> you can G10 a work shift you know... just put program in a sub and keep calling it after the G10 move... then just reset it.. much better than G92
[13:24:58] <MacGalempsy> tjtr33: now that it is off the mesa, it registers 5v
[13:25:22] <tjtr33> MacGalempsy, ok, the prob is your connection to mesa, i dunno how you have it set
[13:25:38] <MacGalempsy> the field power to the mesa is 24v
[13:25:48] <tjtr33> and 6V means 'not good' btw
[13:26:38] <MacGalempsy> tjtr33: how do you run your fault to the mesa? trying to get an led to turn on pyvcp when the fault occurs
[13:28:31] <tjtr33> i dont use copleys on mesa, sorry, i will get out the dwgs for that system and look ( i believe its 24V i/o system too )

[13:37:47] <tjtr33> MacGalempsy, i direct wire to my PLC. Heidenhain PLC410 is 24V system. from the manuals... a '1' is 13 to 30V and '0' i s-20 to 3.2V. so your Q is strictly a mesa Q.
[13:38:19] <tjtr33> and my wiring examples of copley to this plc show simple direct wire and common gnd to copley
[13:39:25] <tjtr33> an you read any inputs on the mesa?

[13:42:22] -!- mhaberler has quit [Quit: mhaberler]
[13:42:38] <MacGalempsy> the mesa manual says that with a 24v field power that anything below 9.6v will register as low
[13:44:54] <archivist> yes
[13:45:41] <archivist> which is what is happening
[13:46:59] <MacGalempsy> so I think a resistor between the 24v will drop the 24v, then on then after the resistor, I put on the 5v out on the Copley. when non faulted it puts out 9.6 and when the fault occurs it ups the voltage. does that sound right?
[13:47:12] <archivist> the heidenhain probably has a pull up to 24 assuming the external driver is open collector

[13:52:40] <tjtr33> MacGalempsy i dont follow your last statement, the resistor i talk about goes from +24V to the signal. this lightly 'lifts' the weak signal up towards 24V if nothing else wrestles it towards ground.
[13:53:15] <tjtr33> when the copley wants to say 'bad' it has a very easy job to pull the signal low.
[13:53:53] <tjtr33> oops, the copley has an easy jonn to say 'good' and pulls the 7mA down
[13:55:48] <MacGalempsy> im lost, and was hoping someone would say connect x to y and the mesa card will get trip correctly...
[13:56:42] <archivist> a pull up from 24v to the pin 14 is what we are both saying
[13:57:13] <cpresser> MacGalempsy: just ask the manufacturer. the datasheet does not have enough info.
[13:57:14] <archivist> the value depends on mesa input impedance to pull high
[13:57:34] <miss0r|shop> archivist: apparently the CW-5045 does not support not using microstepping. I had to set it on 2 microsteps for it to work
[13:59:33] <archivist> MacGalempsy, does the mesa card have its own pull ups
[14:00:04] <MacGalempsy> the 7i77 manual doesnt say anything about pull ups
[14:01:21] <MacGalempsy> this email I see online says the 7i77 requires external pullups
[14:02:50] <MacGalempsy> easy way out?

[14:03:35] <cpresser> MacGalempsy: stupid way out. ask the manufacturer what kind of output that pin14 is. then you can decide what to do
[14:03:48] <cpresser> (at least thats my opinion)
[14:03:49] <archivist> MacGalempsy, it has a 20k input resistance, so 3k will be ok

[14:08:15] <archivist> MacGalempsy, the important info in the7i77 manual is you provide the voltage for the input
[14:08:17] <tjtr33> cpresser, could be, but i dont see how they are different. looks 5v ttl to me.
[14:08:17] <tjtr33> but note that the copley pin 10 ( gnd ) has to be connected to the 7i77 field gnd.
[14:09:22] <MacGalempsy> ok I think I get the idea from the schematics. I will draw up what I think is the right way to connect everything then post a link and ask again.
[14:09:27] <archivist> slight miss match copley is a 5v driver and the 7i77 is set to 24v
[14:10:08] <tjtr33> archivist, i agree the 2 diff voltage, i cant resolve the example on gnipsel

[14:10:59] <archivist> if copley is an open collector with a pull up to 5 then a pull up to 24 may just work, if the copley can stand higher voltages on that pin

[15:51:19] <_methods> at least i can see this more than the exploding kitten thing
[15:51:29] <_methods> still stoopid
[15:52:15] <CaptHindsight> i read tech new regularly. How did I miss this before? This is their gen 4 version.
[15:52:35] <CaptHindsight> I must automatically filter out crap
[15:52:35] <_methods> miss what the pebble?
[15:52:48] <archivist> far too many idiots ready to have money remove from them
[15:53:11] <_methods> indeed
[15:58:35] <malcom2073> I'm more than happy to take idiots money, know any with ssome to spare? :-P
[15:58:49] <_methods> plenty apparently on kickstarter

[15:58:53] <malcom2073> yeah
[15:59:02] <_methods> you just need to make something with kittens
[15:59:04] <malcom2073> I've given up on trying to think of something to kickstarter

[16:26:35] <_methods> probably one of the worst uninformed choices i've ever made in my life
[16:27:20] <CaptHindsight> _methods: so yours did't have to meet and interview you before allowing you to purchase?
[16:27:34] <_methods> if i want to build a giant metal dildo in my front yard by god i want a giant dick in my front yard
[16:27:45] <_methods> no we bought when the 'hood was still under construction
[16:28:50] <CaptHindsight> I wouldn't want to live anywhere that the HMA would want me
[16:29:05] <_methods> don't do it
[16:34:51] <CaptHindsight> maybe a lawn camera that detects intruders and fires paintballs at them
[16:35:04] <CaptHindsight> or at least a water canon
[16:39:58] <mozmck> I don't know why anyone would want to live within city limits. Out here there are no building regulations - only inspection is sewer.
[16:40:14] <mozmck> No city taxes, fees, etc.
[16:41:14] <jthornton> we only have taxes to pay out here, no city water or sewage or inspections
[16:41:39] <jthornton> _methods, my friends son made a giant penis out of snow in his front yard lol
[16:41:57] <mozmck> Same here. The sewer inspection is only when it is first installed.
[16:42:31] <jthornton> if you have more than 3 acres no perk test is required here
[16:44:16] <CaptHindsight> lack of good broadband and cell service is the main downside for me
[16:44:22] <cradek> at my house, low-cost dinosaur gas comes from underground in a pipe. also, clean water with no weird smells or tastes comes the same way.
[16:45:01] <cradek> lots of nice places to hang out and eat are a five minute bike ride from my front door
[16:46:37] <CaptHindsight> for me life in a big city has to be big enough to be able to get me around without a car and actually have places I want to go to steps from my door
[16:46:55] <jthornton> there are plus and minus features for almost any place except for where Glen Villeneuve lives
[16:47:14] <Cromaglious> city water is not too bad, but sewer? Sheeshz they think it's made out of gold? $45 water bil $5 water, $40 sewer
[16:47:49] <mozmck> I can go outside and see the stars at night, hear the coyotes, owls, whippoorwils, and frogs. The city is close enough if I need something. Best place I've found to eat is our kitchen table :)
[16:48:19] <jthornton> it cost a lot of money to make sewer cleaner than the water used to flush the toilet
[16:48:23] <ssi> I don't even have a kitchen table :P
[16:48:25] <CaptHindsight> i don't miss the traffic
[16:49:07] <cradek> mozmck: it's almost as if there's more than one way to live happily
[16:49:16] <mozmck> :) quite true.

[16:50:15] <Cromaglious> I'm near Palomar observatory, so I can see stars at night, We are backed onto a Golf Course (subdivision) so we get coyotes, possum, owls, corbies, and frogs too
[16:51:08] <Cromaglious> No kitchen table, though the ironing board is in there for theatre season.

[22:26:46] <HSD> So... any thoughts about endstop/limit switches? I'm having issues with mine. They appear to trip about 3 times a second. If I actually trip the limit switch, the ! goes solid. (Which I believe means it's been hit)
[22:27:03] <HSD> But any ideas why it goes on/off so many times a second?
[22:27:08] <HSD> perhaps noisy cable/line?
[22:27:24] <HSD> And if that's the case, what can I do about it?
[22:33:24] <SpeedEvil> three times a second when?
[22:36:02] <HSD> heh, didn't explain my problem very well did I?
[22:36:41] <HSD> Let me first ask does the ! near the DTG numbers indicate a limit switch has been hit?
[22:37:05] <HSD> My "Override Limits" blinks on/off about 3 times a second.
[22:37:31] <HSD> which to me seems to indicate linuxcnc thinks that the limit switches get triggered multiple times a second
[22:38:01] <PCW> probably electrical noise coupled into the limit switch wiring
[22:38:04] <HSD> when I actually trip the sensor/switch I get a solid/non blinking ! near the axis of the limit switch I've activated.
[22:38:14] <HSD> Yeah, that's what I'm starting to think.
[22:38:39] <PCW> what kind of inputs?
[22:38:48] <HSD> can I use a filtering capacitor or something?
[22:39:06] <HSD> Uh you mean switches or on the driver board?
[22:39:27] <PCW> Driver board
[22:39:44] <HSD> they are physical switches that drop the input to GND. The inputs are pulled up via pull-up resistors
[22:40:19] <SpeedEvil> Does it happen when the machine is idle?
[22:41:49] <PCW> may need stiffer pullups/ capacitor or debounce in hal
[22:42:20] <PCW> debouncing in hal can be done with no hardware changes
[22:44:22] <Tom_itx> watch halscope to see how wide the noise is
[22:44:35] <Tom_itx> then debounce a bit longer
[22:46:14] <HSD> SpeedEvil, yes, idle
[22:46:36] <HSD> halscope. checking.
[22:46:40] <SpeedEvil> Mains hum?
[22:46:48] <SpeedEvil> Do you own a multimeter?
[22:48:07] <HSD> yes
[22:48:17] <HSD> uh... no mains seem good
[22:48:34] <HSD> heh, realized I answered those out of order
[22:48:46] <HSD> so I need to select a channel in hal scope?
[22:50:20] <Tom_itx> yep, then assign the pin signal to it
[22:52:57] <HSD> ok...
[22:52:58] <HSD> then
[22:54:41] <Tom_itx> assign a trigger
[22:56:57] Guest52297 is now known as aude
[22:59:02] <HSD> holy...
[22:59:06] <HSD> super noisy
[23:00:05] <HSD> trying to figure out the scale here.
[23:00:55] <HSD> ah. 20.0 mSec
[23:02:04] <HSD> that's quite a bit more than 3 times a second.
[23:02:35] <PCW> limit switch wiring should not be routed next to step motor/servomotor/VFD wiring
[23:02:51] <HSD> I'll bet that's my problem.
[23:03:01] <HSD> it's bundled with the motor wiring
[23:03:04] <PCW> those are all great nopise radiators
[23:03:10] <PCW> noise
[23:03:57] <HSD> yeah makes perfect sense... Guess I need to run a set of wires just for the limit switches.
[23:04:20] <SpeedEvil> Measure the voltage between the switch common, and the parallel port common
[23:04:38] <SpeedEvil> You should absolutely not ever get that much coupling - especially with pull-downs
[23:04:50] -!- jvrousseau has quit [Quit: Textual IRC Client: www.textualapp.com]
[23:04:51] <SpeedEvil> pull-ups
[23:04:57] <SpeedEvil> what is the vlaue of the pull-ups actually
[23:05:10] <SpeedEvil> ^measure teh AC voltage
[23:06:07] <HSD> so, the controller is supposedly isolated. I get no voltage between switch common and parallel port common
[23:06:21] <HSD> the resistor value or voltage value?
[23:06:32] <HSD> I get ~5V at the limit switch.
[23:06:38] <HSD> you mean the parallel port value?
[23:07:09] <HSD> http://www.probotix.com/manuals/PBX-RF_manual.pdf
[23:07:17] <HSD> that's the controller I'm using
[23:08:37] <PCW> assuming a relatively stiff 2k pullup and 20 pf of wiring capacitance to say a 36V square wave from
[23:08:38] <PCW> stepper wires you can easily get spikes that cross the input threshold so best not to route together

[23:09:53] <HSD> Well it'll be a bit of a pain, but I think I'm going to do a wire bundle for just the limit switches.
[23:10:07] <PCW> I think the PBX-RF uses AD isolators instead of cheap OPTOs so the inputs are quite fast
[23:10:09] <HSD> any issues running CAT5?

[23:15:12] <PCW> Hmm looks like the PBX-RF has input filters already so would not expect any noise,
[23:15:14] <PCW> Are you sure your switch GND is GND2 (isolated GND)
[23:15:58] <SpeedEvil> PCW: yes - but not with the machine idle
[23:16:59] <PCW> stepdrive wires generate as much noise when idles as when running

[23:24:18] <anonimasu> PCW: Can you somehow run the 8i20's in velocity mode?
[23:24:26] <PCW> No
[23:24:51] <PCW> well you can run a velocity loop in linuxcnc
[23:24:55] <anonimasu> mhm, any other way to handle that?
[23:24:58] -!- nerdfiles has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
[23:25:38] <anonimasu> it seems that the plasma's work better with that kind of control loops.
[23:27:10] <anonimasu> is there any sample configs like that?
[23:27:13] <PCW> almost all servo system have a velocity loop around a torque loop
[23:27:14] <skunkworks> anonimasu: explain? for positioning?
[23:27:39] <anonimasu> 99% of the amps used for that kind of setup is velocity mode rather then torque mode
[23:27:59] <anonimasu> I am having a bit of trouble with jerkiness and getting things _smooth_ without jerking the torch around at corners
[23:28:07] <PCW> Tuning is very different
[23:28:16] -!- sumpfralle has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[23:28:16] <anonimasu> ah tuning is fine
[23:28:30] <PCW> effectively linuxcnc must close the velocity loop
[23:28:49] <anonimasu> it dosent miss position very much only by a few 0.01mm, but it's still a bit too jerky to not throw the gantry around
[23:29:15] <skunkworks> wll this isn't a limited jerk planner...
[23:29:15] <PCW> so for the simple 1 PID case you first add as much D as is stable
[23:29:27] <anonimasu> (considering this machine was built to handle 38IN/SEC^2 of accel.. it shouldnt be a problem

[23:30:32] <skunkworks> is it just loud?
[23:30:53] <anonimasu> huh?
[23:31:42] <skunkworks> oh - you mean the gantry actually whiggles?
[23:31:45] <anonimasu> I were testing at 1g before, but cornering is just not very smooth..
[23:32:06] <anonimasu> (it looks like the machine either dosent slow enough or it decides to jerk the gantry) possibly a ff tuning issue
[23:32:15] <anonimasu> or something like taht
[23:32:17] <anonimasu> that..
[23:32:19] <PCW> if it follows the profile accurately, not much more you can get from the servo
[23:32:26] <skunkworks> you should see that with halscope though...
[23:32:36] <PCW> rest is up to the TP
[23:32:55] <anonimasu> I am very much thinking that this is inertia related
[23:33:05] <PCW> Did you tune for max D first?
[23:33:26] <anonimasu> no, I followed the tutorial on the emc wiki
[23:33:42] <anonimasu> the one where you increase P add a bit of I, and finally D I think
[23:34:00] <PCW> well thats completely wrong for torque mode
[23:34:23] <anonimasu> ok?
[23:35:05] <PCW> Maximize D first (thats your velocity loop effectively)
[23:35:08] -!- tmcw has quit []
[23:35:23] <anonimasu> no P added to the loop?
[23:35:28] <anonimasu> (initially?)
[23:35:53] <PCW> a bit just so its under control
[23:36:14] <anonimasu> 0.5?
[23:36:24] <anonimasu> (now I have it set at 10)
[23:36:43] <PCW> raising the servo thread as fast as you can run it helps with maximizing D
[23:37:50] <anonimasu> what's the procedure, start with P=low value, raise D as high as you can
[23:37:55] <anonimasu> and add i if needed?
[23:38:06] <PCW> The add P and finally I
[23:38:21] <PCW> what servo thread rate are you running?
[23:38:49] <anonimasu> I cant remember right now, but if that's how you tune a torque mode drive I am way off,
[23:38:52] <anonimasu> I have 0.0025 for D
[23:39:03] <anonimasu> and a bit of I...
[23:39:33] <PCW> I would not run slower that ~4 KHz

[23:40:13] <anonimasu> err 5i20/5i23(I dont remember)
[23:40:27] <PCW> max servo thread depends mostly on the CPU
[23:40:35] <PCW> servo thread rate
[23:40:36] <anonimasu> anyway, I will try to check tomorrow if I can get it better
[23:41:47] <anonimasu> (I think that the loop is not set up properly so inertia causes the machine to jerk rather then decelerate properly
[23:42:41] <HSD> Tom_itx, yeah kinda what I was thinking about. CAT5 wouldn't work in that case.
