[00:01:50] <Tom_itx> those lines are in the hal file
[00:01:50] <Tom_itx> do all the addf need to be between them?
[00:01:50] <micges> yes
[00:01:50] <Tom_itx> wasn't aware of that
[00:01:50] -!- amiri_ has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[00:01:50] <Tom_itx> what about loadrt?
[00:02:13] <micges> no, just addf order is important
[00:04:04] <Tom_itx> any certain order of addf commands?
[00:05:26] -!- Valen has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[00:06:10] <Tom_itx> i didn't know they had to be between those
[00:06:26] <micges> generally should be: mesa read, motion command, motion controller, all rest, mesa write
[00:08:03] <Tom_itx> it would be nice if the addf doc mentioned that
[00:10:08] <PCW> invalid cookie means the serial interface is very badliy broken
[00:12:10] <Tom_itx> i'll beep test all the wiring. i checked the wiring and it's wired right. i'll check for a broken wire etc now
[00:13:16] <PCW> you can also check the differential voltage across +TX and -TX and +RX and -RX
[00:13:57] -!- per_sonne_ has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
[00:14:21] <Tom_itx> 3.29 and 4.51v
[00:15:19] -!- kb8wmc has quit [Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.91.1 [Firefox 20.0/20130329043827]]
[00:17:37] <Tom_itx> wires all beep test from plug to screw head
[00:18:09] <PCW> still something major broken
[00:18:19] <Tom_itx> no idea what.
[00:18:31] -!- The_Ball has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[00:18:38] <PCW> I dont think Ive see a cookie error ever
[00:18:52] <micges> Tom_itx: what's output from mesaflash --readhmid
[00:19:04] -!- The_Ball [The_Ball!~ballen@80.202.192.42] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:21:16] <PCW> marginal power somewhere might do this, bad flat cable maybe a bad cookie error (and shutting down the link) mean the 7I90 can just barely communicate with the 7I84
[00:23:12] <Tom_itx> the flat cable is about 3" long
[00:23:18] <Tom_itx> maybe 3.5
[00:23:32] <PCW> I would check the 5V cable power at the 7I84, something funky there could cause trouble
[00:23:34] <Tom_itx> just enough to span the 2 boards
[00:24:18] <Tom_itx> 4.96v
[00:24:35] <PCW> bad bitfile somehow maybe
[00:24:57] <Tom_itx> looks ok
[00:25:08] <PCW> did it meet timing?
[00:25:13] <Tom_itx> afik
[00:25:44] <Tom_itx> i'm working on the hal file a bit then i'll try it again
[00:25:55] <PCW> weird, definately something broken
[00:26:33] <PCW> This is through a 7I47S?
[00:29:01] <Tom_itx> yes
[00:29:39] <PCW> RX termination enabled?
[00:31:15] <Tom_itx> now it fails on the hm2....0.read line
[00:31:29] <Tom_itx> lemme look
[00:35:10] <Tom_itx> is that W10?
[00:35:22] <Tom_itx> no W11
[00:36:12] <Tom_itx> W11 is to the left
[00:38:58] <PCW> 3.29V seems high if the 7I84 is driving a terminator

[00:44:15] <Tom_itx> rx on 13 tx on 22
[00:45:04] <Tom_itx> PCW, lemme check if i got the right jumper
[00:45:59] <Tom_itx> IO13 woulb be RX10 IO22 would be TX2
[00:47:52] <Tom_itx> i think i told you the wrong jumper
[00:48:14] <Tom_itx> W11 is for RX10 which is to the left
[00:48:33] -!- Loetmichel2 [Loetmichel2!~cylly@p54B10781.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:49:14] <PCW> still odd (3.29V is really not possible from a 3.3V driver into a 120 ohm termination)
[00:49:35] -!- AR_ has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[00:50:11] <Tom_itx> i might be able to move it to another RX pair
[00:50:17] <Tom_itx> not sure

[00:53:27] <Tom_itx> across P3-12 & 13 is 3.3v across P3 19-20 is 4.51
[00:53:59] <Tom_itx> 12 & 13 is RX10
[00:54:10] <Tom_itx> 19 & 20 is TX2
[01:02:47] <PCW> weird sounds like termination is not working
[01:02:47] <PCW> pull the jumper when measuring the diff voltage
[01:04:00] <Tom_itx> still 3.29 across pins 12-13
[01:04:03] <Tom_itx> on P3
[01:04:08] <Tom_itx> W11 jumper
[01:04:20] <PCW> bad connector?
[01:04:35] <Tom_itx> doesn't look bad
[01:04:38] <Tom_itx> i can swap it
[01:05:44] <Tom_itx> different jumper 3.3v

[01:18:10] -!- andypugh has quit [Quit: andypugh]
[01:20:37] <Tom_itx> once i get the config in order i'll see if i have another free pair to try
[01:26:16] <Tom_itx> now that you mention it, i was using sserial on the 7I47 before, not the 7I47S
[01:26:28] <Tom_itx> just thought of that

[02:06:04] <Tom_itx> which jumper is for RX11?
[02:06:28] <Tom_itx> W5?

[03:39:51] <sector_0> one that can mill aluminum at most
[03:40:02] <sector_0> would it be rigid enough?
[03:40:25] <zeeshan|2> yea
[03:40:41] <t12> define enough i guess
[03:40:41] <zeeshan|2> you can design aluminum to be silly rigid

[10:36:59] <jthornton> I wonder how I did this, now every file I open wants to be opened by linuxcnc in debian wheeezy
[10:37:57] <_methods> open with drop down?
[10:41:21] <_methods> i think it remembers the the last thing you select when you right click a file and use the open with dialog
[10:41:59] <_methods> not sure how it would try to open EVERY file with it though
[10:42:06] <archivist> bit like the windows file association
[10:42:30] <archivist> did you open a no extension one?
[10:43:00] <_methods> ah yeah that might do it
[10:45:04] <jthornton> seems like it thinks any text file is the same no matter what the extension
[10:45:30] <jthornton> I had thought it might run a .ini file with linuxcnc only but was wrong

[10:49:47] <_methods> http://askubuntu.com/questions/16580/where-are-file-associations-stored
[10:50:09] <_methods> not sure how much real help that will be
[10:51:10] <_methods> you might be able to deleted/rename one of those mime lists and force it to use a default list
[10:52:12] <_methods> debian is using thunar by default right?
[10:53:21] <_methods> might want to look at a thunar specific mime type list location and schema
[10:53:25] -!- moorbo has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[10:53:46] <jthornton> yea, it uses thunar
[11:00:58] <_methods> hmm i guess under settings there is a mime type editor
[11:01:16] <_methods> yep
[11:01:50] <_methods> make sure you don't have anything in the all/all and all/allfiles
[11:03:22] <_methods> heh looks like i need to go through and clean my mimetypes up also

[12:40:09] <nema34-cnc> morning
[12:42:27] <nema34-cnc> how I can reset the dro?
[12:44:33] <archivist> touch off and axis homing are the concepts you need
[12:45:18] <nema34-cnc> probe tripped during non-probe MDI command.
[12:45:28] <nema34-cnc> I'm get this error^
[12:46:03] <nema34-cnc> the probe is not connect to the board, and i never install it.
[12:46:11] <archivist> your first question has no relation to the second comment
[12:47:09] <nema34-cnc> when I try to do touch off i get the probe error.
[12:47:11] <archivist> have you configured the probe though
[12:47:38] <nema34-cnc> I'm never set it up.
[12:47:49] <nema34-cnc> I put it back in the box.
[12:50:24] <archivist> in linuxcnc I mean
[12:51:51] <nema34-cnc> no, I'm never set it up.
[12:52:35] <archivist> pastebin your hal and ini files in one pastebin
[12:52:38] <nema34-cnc> I download the files but you never guide me what to do with them so I've put it bac in the box.

[12:58:02] <archivist> is it so hard to find
[12:58:22] <nema34-cnc> but what the issue?
[12:58:59] <archivist> the issue is you have configured a pin and it is in the wrong state
[12:59:24] -!- balestrino has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[12:59:32] <nema34-cnc> you mean the LPT pin?
[13:00:03] <nema34-cnc> how to solve it?
[13:00:20] <nema34-cnc> you can tell me do this this and this.. to solve it??
[13:00:36] <archivist> connect the probe, or connect the correct state to that input
[13:01:00] <nema34-cnc> ok
[13:01:35] <archivist> I have no intention of telling you step by step instructions, else you will never learn to diagnose problems
[13:02:34] <nema34-cnc> the probe is now connected.

[13:16:14] <nema34-cnc> archivist, maybe your swim in this program like a dolphin, I'm not. the file don't tell me anything, I'm not familiar at all with the operating system, how do you want me to set it up without ANY ANY help???
[13:17:34] <archivist> I expect some self help with less wining, and better questions
[13:17:46] <jthornton> good luck
[13:17:54] <jthornton> dang make is still running
[13:18:14] <jthornton> just done, lets see the errors now
[13:18:30] <nema34-cnc> but this is my 3rd day that I try to get help from you.
[13:19:03] <archivist> only 3 days!
[13:19:16] <archivist> most of use spend months learning
[13:19:41] <jthornton> I spend years trying to get linux to install
[13:19:48] <archivist> dont bite the hand that feeds you either
[13:21:29] <nema34-cnc> so.. why not to share some of the learning like the debian irc channel that help me a lot to understand the operating system, and help me to send you the errors of your program
[13:21:33] <jthornton> nema34-cnc, the normal irc etiquette is to ask your question giving as much detail as possible to the channel. IF someone is here AND can answer they will
[13:22:26] <jthornton> just because one person answered your first question doesn't mean they have to answer the second one that is why you just ask the question and wait
[13:23:12] <nema34-cnc> I'm really don't know why you give me such a hard time with the setup.
[13:23:35] <jthornton> who is "you"
[13:24:11] <nema34-cnc> the people in this room
[13:25:05] <jthornton> we are all trying to help but you don't understand that you have to do some of the work
[13:26:15] <nema34-cnc> you see new person, insted of guide him, help him to understan the basic, nothing.. here some out dated manuals, no go away.. about the probe here is link to the forum. now deal with it. - this is how I fill here.

[13:29:53] <nema34-cnc> guide me how to do the setup correct.
[13:31:08] <malcom2073> nema34-cnc: complaining about the help you're getting for free isn't likely to get you any better help
[13:31:43] <nema34-cnc> malcom2073, do you want me to pay?
[13:32:06] <malcom2073> nema34-cnc: I don't, but there are people you can pay to configure a linuxcnc system for you
[13:32:41] <malcom2073> Also, I know nothing about probes, so couldn't help there anyway :)
[13:32:43] <nema34-cnc> how I find them?

[13:35:31] <archivist> we cannot see any attempt at self learning, just fixitformenow
[13:35:54] <JT-Shop> that is step by step instructions!
[13:36:54] <JT-Shop> if nema34-cnc wants help on versers code you need to ask him on the forum
[13:36:58] <archivist> I too have no probes or limit switches so will not provide any step by step probe or switch answers

[13:38:44] <nema34-cnc> archivist, I don't want the "fixitformenow" I want some serious help with some one that can guide me, step by step, and dubble check with me that everything was setup right, and the machine is operated safe at the software level.

[14:00:03] <archivist> or both
[14:00:07] <_methods> the straight edge
[14:00:23] <JT-Shop> anyone know if there are any issues with cleaning ss in hcl prior to powder coating
[14:00:42] <_methods> hmm no idea never powder coated stainless
[14:01:09] <archivist> nor me
[14:01:15] <_methods> is it magnetic stainless?
[14:01:29] <JT-Shop> I mean any reaction with the acid?
[14:01:55] <JT-Shop> non-magnetic ss
[14:02:20] <_methods> hmm i'm not sure
[14:02:25] <_methods> 304?
[14:04:50] <JT-Shop> looking
[14:06:07] <_methods> All concentrations of hydrochloric acid will attack
[14:06:08] <_methods> stainless steels since the acid readily destroys their
[14:06:09] <_methods> passivity
[14:06:20] <_methods> http://www.parrinst.com/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2011/07/Parr_Stainless-Steels-Corrosion-Info.pdf
[14:06:23] <_methods> from that
[14:06:30] <JT-Shop> yea 304
[14:06:38] <_methods> not sure if it will mess with the powder coat though
[14:06:40] <CaptHindsight> http://www.nickelinstitute.org/~/Media/Files/TechnicalLiterature/CleaningandDescalingStainlessSteel_9001_.pdf
[14:06:54] <JT-Shop> thanks
[14:07:44] <CaptHindsight> besides the possible pitting what is left on the surface might be from reactions from impurities in the SS
[14:08:00] <_methods> why would you powdercoat stainless
[14:08:16] <CaptHindsight> color
[14:08:21] <_methods> that's like painting over cherry lol
[14:08:24] <JT-Shop> because I have 50pcs in ss
[14:08:26] <_methods> or walnut
[14:08:27] <_methods> hehe
[14:08:44] <JT-Shop> and I don't sell as many ss as powder coated
[14:09:04] <JT-Shop> I think I'll stick to debur and wipe down with Pre on the ss
[14:09:25] <_methods> it should be fine if you can neutralize all the acid
[14:09:32] <_methods> if it's an easy to clean part
[14:09:44] <_methods> no fasteners or small tight corners?
[14:10:16] <CaptHindsight> just use a good powdercoat and get the surface rough for better adhesion
[14:10:19] <JT-Shop> after the acid bath I dip in a baking soda bath then water then sodium nitrite then dry in the oven
[14:11:00] <JT-Shop> the part http://gnipsel.com/spyderstore/index.php?route=product/product&path=63&product_id=50
[14:11:19] <CaptHindsight> JT-Shop: are you using a urethane powder?

[14:15:40] <_methods> well guess that rules out blasting
[14:16:03] <JT-Shop> I have a small blasting cabinet and it leaks so it is a PIA to blast
[14:16:40] <_methods> looks like it's pretty easy to get shitty adhesion powdercoating stainless
[14:17:04] <JT-Shop> ouch
[14:17:13] <archivist> roughing it by blasting might make it stick better
[14:17:43] <CaptHindsight> JT-Shop: http://www.prismaticpowders.com/powder-coating-colors/ check them out
[14:17:51] <archivist> but still the reason it is stainless will make adhesion difficult anyway
[14:18:05] <CaptHindsight> I often get overstock or clearance powder for $1-2/lb

[14:20:53] <_methods> which one should we be reading?
[14:22:57] <JT-Shop> What Can Be Powder Coated? Typically any metal object that can hold the electrostatic charge needed to affix the sprayed powder and can tolerate the high heat levels of the curing process. Mild steel, galvanized and electroplated steel, aluminum, stainless steel and most other steel alloys can be powder coated.

[14:24:56] <CaptHindsight> powder coatings are thermoplastics that have a Tg (softening temp) that is >80C and melts ~150C
[14:25:12] <sysdef> s/3/6/
[14:26:04] <CaptHindsight> the heat reflows them but not hot enough to make them drip or run

[14:29:52] <CaptHindsight> you can also powdercoat plastic with UV cured powder, it has a lower Tg so you heat it to a lower temp and then use UV to cure it
[14:30:28] <CaptHindsight> the plastic just needs to have a higher Tg than the powder
[14:30:46] <fogl> hello, is there a way to load the some rtai standalone module that has hal pins that could be accessed within standard hal interface?
[14:31:40] <fogl> who is the author of hal... is this part of rtai or is this part of Linuxcnc that upgrades rtai?
[14:31:41] <cradek> you can run hal without linuxcnc
[14:32:07] <sysdef> pcw_home: afaik there is no rt kernel yet in debian stable repos

[16:09:15] <archivist> there were used in pre history
[16:09:18] <jthornton> LinuxCNC does not create line numbers like n100
[16:09:20] <archivist> they
[16:09:31] <zeeshan|2> http://i.imgur.com/TzIeos3.png
[16:09:34] <zeeshan|2> it doesnt create them
[16:09:41] <zeeshan|2> but you can see the line numbers right there 1. 2. 3.
[16:09:41] <zeeshan|2> etc
[16:10:20] <archivist> those are just editor type numbers, a guide to be used when you get an error message
[16:10:22] <jthornton> that helps you when you have an error
[16:10:41] <zeeshan|2> right
[16:10:46] <zeeshan|2> but whatrs the point of n100 n200?
[16:10:51] <zeeshan|2> your editor will also have line numbers
[16:10:57] <archivist> those are from your cam
[16:11:11] <jthornton> there is no point in n100 but it is not an error either
[16:11:18] <archivist> optional; and not used these days

[16:22:30] <zeeshan|2> have you guys ever got a string chip like this: about 4" long, starts 1" of it is silver/gray , another 2" is blue , another 1" is gray
[16:22:34] <zeeshan|2> its like the middle of the chip is hot ?
[16:22:42] <zeeshan|2> when doing a simple turning cut..

[16:24:20] <archivist> the blue takes time to occur (oxidization)
[16:25:24] <zeeshan|2> but why does it bgo back
[16:25:26] <archivist> you may have some variable hardness in the material
[16:25:27] <zeeshan|2> to grey again?
[16:26:04] <cradek> steel has a bunch of colors it goes through as you heat it
[16:26:11] <zeeshan|2> no youre not understanding me

[16:26:25] <zeeshan|2> +++++-----------------------+++++
[16:26:26] <zeeshan|2> its doing that
[16:26:30] <zeeshan|2> + = gray, ----- blue
[16:26:38] <zeeshan|2> it comes back to not hot again
[16:26:40] <zeeshan|2> after the chip flies off
[16:26:48] <zeeshan|2> usually its +++--------------------------------
[16:26:50] <cradek> I bet the start and end colors aren't the same
[16:26:54] <archivist> grey,soft blue hard,grey soft again

[16:29:51] <archivist> was it smoking too
[16:29:55] <zeeshan|2> that makes sense cradek
[16:29:58] <zeeshan|2> that it got SUPER hot after

[16:30:41] <cradek> but archivist usually knows more than I do :-)

[19:30:48] <furrywolf> nema34: as a general rule, everything should be grounded.
[19:31:19] <furrywolf> unless your motor driver requires a hot heatsink (I've never, ever seen one that does), ground it. it shouldn't need a separate ground wire or anything, just bolt it to something metal...
[19:33:04] <nema34> so basiclly connect all the minus (5V 12V 72V) together with the building graund?
[19:33:14] <furrywolf> http://code.google.com/p/heekscnc/ hrmm, haven't seen that one before.
[19:33:43] <XXCoder> if I recall it wasnt working well
[19:33:45] <furrywolf> the heatsinks should be connected to building ground. whether you tie your supply grounds to building ground is up to you...

[19:58:55] <Tom_itx> and it keeps knocking me off irc
[19:59:02] <Tom_itx> that was the error this time
[20:00:20] <nema34> JT-Shop: in the breaker panel the neutral and the ground have separate busbars,
[20:01:22] <nema34> so it's compleatly different wires.
[20:02:38] <Tom_itx> hmn2/hm2_7i90: Smart serial card hm2_7i90.0.7i84.0.0 error = (1) invalid cookie
[20:03:01] <Tom_itx> also (24) watchdog fault
[20:03:18] <Tom_itx> also (25) No Enable again
[20:03:50] <nema34> it is better to connect the minus to the neutral ? instead of the ground??
[20:04:29] <nema34> JT-Shop: ^ or any other person that know.
[20:04:41] <Tom_itx> it is better to connect them all to one common point
[20:04:53] <jthornton> sounds like you know it all, why ask

[20:06:12] <Tom_itx> PCW, caused by pausing the program with the pendant during run
[20:06:24] <Tom_itx> not necessarily the only time it happens
[20:06:28] <Tom_itx> just one instance
[20:06:37] <Tom_itx> nema34, yes.
[20:07:03] <nema34> Tom_itx: what?!
[20:07:07] <malcom2073> nema34: power should go to neutral, ground to ground. While they're both connected at the breaker panel, it's better not to annoy any GFCI's by running power back through ground.
[20:08:24] <Tom_itx> PCW, for now i'm content to wire all the io to the 2nd 7I90 connector and call it good unless you want further testing
[20:08:26] <nema34> but DC minus (the black wire from the power supply) should go to??
[20:08:28] <malcom2073> zeeshan|2: Have fun with that haha
[20:08:32] <nema34> malcom2073: ^
[20:08:37] <malcom2073> nema34: I answered you already.
[20:09:23] <nema34> I'm confuse.

[20:17:32] <malcom2073> zeeshan|2: Negative
[20:17:44] <zeeshan|2> why does the ground go to the neutral and the neutral to the ground and why is the ground green

[20:57:26] <Tom_itx> you're the powdercoat expert...
[20:57:27] <JT-Shop> bad enough to toss them in the scrap bin
[20:57:38] <Tom_itx> can they be rebaked?
[20:57:50] <Tom_itx> sand with 600 etc and rebake?
[20:57:57] <zeeshan|2> my buddy runs this business http://trgcoating.com/
[20:58:07] <JT-Shop> it looked like little whiskers when I sprayed the powder on
[20:58:08] <zeeshan|2> Tom_itx: it wont adhere
[20:58:09] <zeeshan|2> it needs a charge
[20:58:13] <Tom_itx> ok
[20:58:25] <Tom_itx> zeeshan|2, but it's already stuck
[20:58:32] <Tom_itx> just fuzzy
[20:58:35] <zeeshan|2> oh you havent baked it?

[21:13:29] <JT-Shop> if I can get the photo uploaded...

[21:53:58] <nema34-cnc> but if M98 call to the sub program P5003, it's mean the the code from line 19 to the end not going to work...

[21:55:09] <nema34-cnc> I want to practice and learn how the cad > cam > gcode > linuxcnc work..
[21:55:12] <witnit> I have an issue i just cant seem to figure out, my servo is smooth and wonderful in one direction but jerks forward in little steps the other direction, any ideas?
[21:55:32] <furrywolf> zeeshan|2: m98 is subroutine call, not a drilling cycle.
[21:55:59] <zeeshan|2> furrywolf: this person wants to drill 4 holes
[21:56:06] <zeeshan|2> i know its a subroutine call :P
[21:56:16] <zeeshan|2> im just wondering why not just use a regular g81
[21:56:45] <nema34-cnc> I can basically can drill it by hand.. but i want to learn how to make gcode with solidcam.
[21:56:50] <furrywolf> I didn't pay enough attention to the program to know what exactly it does. I just know it's written for a different controller.
[21:57:26] <witnit> im using a brush dc servo motor and 1b a/b/ setup with encoder direct on motor shaft
[21:57:39] <nema34-cnc> maybe i can hand right the code for the 4 holes.. but on complex parts it is going to be useless.
[21:57:40] <witnit> ab a/b/*
[21:58:20] <nema34-cnc> witnit, try to oil the rails.
[21:59:15] <nema34-cnc> the contruller thet I've setup in the solidcam is (AWEA AV-1000)
[21:59:41] <nema34-cnc> all the other are gmill

[22:16:17] <furrywolf> hrmm, defaults to mm. who the heck uses mm? :P
[22:16:56] <furrywolf> which breaks things, because it doesn't scale any of the internal settings when you change them. I don't want to move up 25in between cuts...
[22:17:28] <furrywolf> sigh. so pycam breaks badly if you switch it to inches. I already don't like it. lol

[22:27:31] -!- Camaban has quit [Read error: No route to host]
[22:28:25] <furrywolf> pycam apparantly can't even generate a usable toolpath for its own fucking demo object.
[22:30:18] <furrywolf> and even though I explicitly turned off parallel processing in the settings, it still spawns three threads, all of which use 100% cpu and a ton of ram, making my box unusably slow for the two minutes it takes to generate each broken toolpath.
[22:31:00] <furrywolf> now I tried the contour following toolpath generator, on the default object (its name), and it's estimating three and a half hours to generate the toolpath.
[22:31:10] * furrywolf uninstalls pycam
[22:31:55] <furrywolf> seriously. if you can't generate a toolpath for your own demo object, don't release it yet.

[22:41:12] <sumpfralle> furrywolf: there is no need to be rude (I was one of pycam's developers). Loads of people used pycam (including myself for many different projects) and we received a lot positive feedback from happy users. Sadly there is no one developing it for around three years now. Maybe your setup or your expectations are just different. Anyway: I am not convinced that your wording is effective at encouraging people to create software for you - but may
[22:41:26] -!- sumpfralle has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[22:41:32] <furrywolf> lol
[22:43:09] <furrywolf> my setup is "I installed it", and my expectations are "it's capable of generating a toolpath".
[22:43:32] <archivist> it does, but very slowly
[22:44:29] <furrywolf> no, it doesn't. the default toolpath generator generated a completely broken toolpath, ignoring all the settings I gave it.
[22:45:18] <furrywolf> then I tried the contour one, and "very slowly" doesn't describe "three and a half hours for a trivial object". during which your system is unusable, because even though you unchecked the parallel processing box, it's using multiple threads and hammering cpu, ram, and swap all at once...
[22:46:12] <furrywolf> no matter what I set the safe height to, every time it went over anything it raised the spindle to who-the-fuck-knows-what-because-it's-so-high-the-display-window-can't-show-it.
[22:46:30] <archivist> three hours to three days, it has a reputation for very slow, a user in #cam a few years ago tried to fix the speed issues
[22:47:24] <furrywolf> if it listened to me when I unchecked the parallel processing box, I wouldn't be as pissed off. but spawning three threads anyway, after you told it not to, with very high memory usage, means you can't use your system for anything else during that time.
[22:47:45] <furrywolf> I could try nicing it, but that wouldn't help with the random surges in memory usage causing it to swap...
[22:48:42] -!- per_sonne_ has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
[22:48:52] <furrywolf> when you uncheck the box, it says "Multiprocessing disabled" "Enabled 2 parallel local processes" ... how is that disabled? and why does it say 2 and spawn 3? lol
[22:49:15] <furrywolf> probably a trivial bug, but the kind that should have been squashed a long time ago.
[22:49:40] <_methods> yes their massive dev team should have covered that long ago in their free time
[22:49:49] <_methods> to keep you happy

[22:51:27] <furrywolf> _methods: "makes your system unusable for hours-days" is a pretty important bug.
[22:52:46] <JT-Shop> "Sadly there is no one developing it for around three years now."
[22:53:11] <_methods> yes his reading comprehension skills are...........
[22:53:16] <JT-Shop> lol
[22:53:31] <furrywolf> and yet there's file dates from 2014.
[22:54:01] <JT-Shop> you should ask for your money back
[22:54:24] <witnit> oh, found my issue, a jumper in my amp was telling the amp to run in brushless
[22:54:24] * JT-Shop heads inside
[22:54:34] <witnit> but i have brush
[22:54:37] <witnit> so its good now
[22:55:06] <furrywolf> that'd cause problems, yes. lol
[22:55:11] <witnit> :)
[22:55:36] <witnit> it only has about 27 jumpers to decipher
[22:55:46] <furrywolf> I really, really don't want this to turn into writing my own cam program. I don't have time for more projects.
[22:56:28] <Tom_itx> sure you do
[22:56:33] <Tom_itx> you're here/
[22:56:40] <furrywolf> I started writing one about ten years ago... I got it to where it imported a model and stored it in a data structure that could keep track of removed material accurately, but never got around to actually writing toolpath generation...

[22:57:24] <archivist> get the heekscam source see if you can fork that
[22:57:38] <furrywolf> if you let it use enough ram, it'd carefully model every little ridge left behind between passes and everything... it just didn't actually generate a toolpath. :)

[22:59:24] <furrywolf> I had to be tricky to keep memory usage sane (<1GB)... I used the lowest two bits of all my pointers to store data. they're always 0, might as well use them for something. lol
[23:00:25] <archivist> dont use any interpreted language for cam either
[23:00:42] <furrywolf> yes. I agree with that completely. part of why I'm avoiding heekscam, because it mentions python.
[23:00:56] <furrywolf> pycam's speed is typical of my experience with python...
[23:01:32] <archivist> heekscam main stuff is in C++
[23:02:59] <SpeedEvil> Interpreted language is not really the issue.
[23:03:06] <SpeedEvil> It's generally mostly algorithms.
[23:03:20] <SpeedEvil> Algorithms can slow you down 10^6 easily.
[23:03:25] <SpeedEvil> Pure interpretation can't.
[23:03:26] <archivist> furrywolf, and see http://www.anderswallin.net/cam/
[23:03:53] <SpeedEvil> (assuming you're not using a pessimal language)
[23:04:03] <archivist> SpeedEvil, the algorithms needed are just too slow when interpreted
[23:04:10] <furrywolf> SpeedEvil: interpreted languages can easily be a factor of ten or more slower.
[23:04:15] <SpeedEvil> Sure.
[23:04:36] <furrywolf> the difference between three hours and 18 minutes is pretty significant when you want a part now.
[23:06:14] <archivist> furrywolf, see the reference to freesteel, that is the algorithm that dan heeks found one day
[23:07:47] <furrywolf> hrmm, all I have online is some very early test output from the cam program I started writing... http://fw.bushytails.net/bunnytest01.png shows it loaded the bunny test as a wireframe, as well as some earlier tests of random lines and cubes that I hadn't disabled yet, and that it could render it... the resolution was set way low for a quick test. can't find any images from later output.
