[00:49:52] <furrywolf> yay! I just got attacked by puppies.
[00:50:10] <Aero-Tec> is there a good MPG Pendant controller out there for linuxcnc?
[00:50:26] <Aero-Tec> would like to get a good one
[00:50:26] <XXCoder> yay puppies for dinner!
[00:50:40] <furrywolf> my neighbor brought a litter from their ranch over to their house yesterday, and they of course promptly escaped... it's hard to work on generators when you have five little fuzzballs climbing on you and nibblinb.
[00:50:40] <furrywolf> nibbling
[00:50:53] <XXCoder> cute :)
[00:52:12] <Aero-Tec> are the puppies cnc?
[00:52:19] <XXCoder> yes
[00:52:24] <XXCoder> they evenually make more puppies
[00:52:29] <Aero-Tec> can I control them with linuxcnc?
[00:52:30] <Aero-Tec> lol
[00:52:39] <XXCoder> sorry not compitable unfortunately
[00:52:53] <Aero-Tec> what????
[00:53:10] <Aero-Tec> something cnc that linuxcnc can not control
[00:53:32] <XXCoder> yeah dont think theres any software solution for puppies for now. maybe year or two down the road lol
[00:53:35] <Aero-Tec> hell had truly froze over
[00:54:09] <Aero-Tec> anyways
[00:54:19] <Aero-Tec> MPG Pendant controllers
[00:54:25] <Aero-Tec> linuxcnc
[00:54:47] <jdh> you just need to stick a grbl on them
[00:54:47] <Aero-Tec> any recommendations?
[00:55:10] <Aero-Tec> are we still talking puppies?
[00:56:18] <Aero-Tec> BTW what is grbl?
[00:57:35] <malcom2073> It's a cnc controller for arduino
[00:57:45] <XXCoder> what the heck
[00:57:47] <XXCoder> http://www.3ders.org/articles/20150523-lewihe-prepares-to-launch-play-a-77-dollars-fully-customizable-3d-printer.html
[00:57:50] <XXCoder> 77 bucks
[00:58:06] <furrywolf> I was thinking of using one of mesa's rs422 addons for a mpg controller.
[01:00:09] <XXCoder> I wonder how easy it is to source those not aviliable parts
http://www.lewihe.com/shop/play/
[01:00:34] <malcom2073> XXCoder: That's about how much a mechanical kit costs, yeah. Read between the lines, you still need the $300 electronics kit
[01:00:59] <XXCoder> interesting. too bad not complete that'd be kickass
[01:01:15] <malcom2073> Yeah, the latest crazy is selling "Sub 100$ printers!", without electronics heh
[01:01:33] <XXCoder> http://www.3ders.org/articles/20150529-portland-firm-customized-products-with-3d-printed-titanium-bicycle-the-solid.html thats awesome
[01:02:25] <malcom2073> What's a MPG pendant?
[01:02:35] <malcom2073> Oh
[01:02:38] <malcom2073> Interesting
[01:02:56] <malcom2073> I'll bite, what does MPG stand for though?
[01:10:13] <Aero-Tec> multi pulse generator
[01:10:42] <Aero-Tec> or Miles Per Gallon
[01:10:44] <Aero-Tec> lol
[01:10:54] <Aero-Tec> but that has nothing to do with cnc
[01:11:56] <Aero-Tec> Multi Pulse Generator sends a train of pulses to the linuxcnc controller
[01:12:42] <Aero-Tec> for manually controlling the position of the cutter

[04:03:39] <furrywolf> after poking at the other repairable-looking eu3000is, I find I do _not_ have enough parts to assemble it. I have all the big things, but I'm missing, at a minimum, the bushings for the air cleaner housing bolts, the fitting that attaches the choke cable to the carb linkage, and the under-engine cowling piece.
[04:04:05] <furrywolf> these are, however, all things I can fire it up without, for testing purposes.
[04:07:12] <furrywolf> and, on a completely unrelated issue, linode's fremont datacenter is down, and along with it my ability to usefully access the internet.
[04:09:46] <furrywolf> they blame it on a power failure combined with a generator failure. what, are burt gummer and myself the only people with backup backup generators? :)

[16:10:33] <JT-Shop> I picked up a Brother monochrome
[16:10:57] <_methods> that's what i have too
[16:11:05] <_methods> wifi printer is nice
[16:11:34] <furrywolf> no. random mix of panels
[16:12:38] <Tom_itx> hah, same here
[16:12:42] <Tom_itx> brother all in one
[16:13:12] <Tom_itx> still setting it up
[16:13:17] <JT-Shop> I got the smallest one so I could put it on the small table beside my dexk
[16:13:22] <JT-Shop> desk
[16:13:25] <furrywolf> I think there's 2 kyocera 130, 2 siemens 90, 2 something I don't remember 110, 10 solec 80, 2 arco 43, 8 arco 55, 1 matrix 100, 1 slightly different matrix 100, 2 unknown 100s, 2 brand I don't remember 80s, umm... there might be more up there. I'd need to climb on the roof and count. :P
[16:13:52] <furrywolf> there's another 100 I'm not rembering the brand of right now
[16:13:58] <furrywolf> remembering

[16:15:59] <furrywolf> so, short answer, no, there's nothing simple about the panels. :)
[16:18:36] <SpeedEvil> I think I'd be looking at DIY boosters to ~48V to each.
[16:18:51] <SpeedEvil> but ...
[16:19:11] <furrywolf> going down is much easier than going up
[16:19:11] * SpeedEvil is happy solar has hit $1/W in the easy way here.
[16:19:26] <SpeedEvil> - free shipping on ebay panels
[16:19:28] <furrywolf> bbl
[16:23:26] <roycroft> don't you just connect multiple panels in series to boost voltage?
[16:24:29] <SpeedEvil> that relies on them being similarly illuminated, with near-identical current
[16:29:01] <roycroft> so you would want to buy sets of identical panels and place them in close proximity

[18:22:53] <balestrino> i tested with 2xglxgears, youtube, and some minor app open
[18:23:12] <balestrino> not for much long time sincerely
[18:23:20] <archivist> I find scrolling a text file is another way
[18:23:56] <balestrino> but latency issues are related to base_period or servo_period?
[18:23:59] <balestrino> or both?

[19:57:21] <Computer_barf> if im getting jerky movements occasionally when a i run a bit of gcode, could this be caused by accelleration settings?
[19:58:28] <Computer_barf> like when the program started, it had one movement that was VERY fast, scared the crap out of me, but then it was going pretty steady at the 5.8ipm setting I put into the facing program, it appears to go pretty fast when it turns around
[20:02:28] <JT-Shop> could be doing G0 on turn around?
[20:05:39] <Computer_barf> http://pastebin.com/x4rhbJFq
[20:06:00] <Computer_barf> ive not yet set my own accelleration value is why i am concerned about tha
[20:06:05] <Computer_barf> *that
[20:06:43] <Computer_barf> im uncertain what I should set it to for my g0704 , or at least a starting value I can experiment with
[20:07:40] <Computer_barf> http://pastebin.com/eLsNQt31
[20:07:43] <Computer_barf> there is my hal file
[20:08:35] <pcw_home> max velocity is set to 1200 IPM, this may be a bit scary
[20:09:15] -!- SB_ has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
[20:09:56] <Computer_barf> MAX_VELOCITY = 20 ?
[20:10:12] <Computer_barf> is this being calculated up to a higher number based on all the math above?
[20:10:56] <pcw_home> thats 20 Inches per second or 1200 IPM
[20:11:20] <Computer_barf> ahh
[20:11:53] <JT-Shop> acceleration should be 10-20 times max velocity
[20:12:21] <Computer_barf> nice, thanks for the tip
[20:12:24] <pcw_home> so setting those to 5 might be about right for your machine
[20:14:08] <pcw_home> ( note that you need to change MAX_VELOCITY in 3 places)
[20:15:20] -!- miccolis has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
[20:17:07] <Computer_barf> yes changed each axis. Machine behaving more reasonably now.
[20:17:33] <pcw_home> For best performance ,you need to tune your machine to see what accelration and velocity its capable of without stalling
[20:17:35] <pcw_home> though you may want to limit the max velocity to a value you are comfortable with even if the machine
[20:17:36] <pcw_home> is capable of more
[20:18:10] <JT-Shop> Computer_barf, have you seen the stepper test in the manual?
[20:19:37] <Computer_barf> I've gone through the linuxcnc reference online but often these things are a blur with so much jargon I've not mastered yet. I'll look it back up.
[20:21:12] <JT-Shop> http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.6/html/common/Stepper_Diagnostics.html#_testing
[20:22:54] <Computer_barf> im super psyched about just the facing program lol. I have a bunch of rough rectangles of aluminum I pour from scrap.
[20:23:29] <SpeedEvil> :)
[20:23:34] <JT-Shop> do you use a barrel relcaimer to melt the aluminum?
[20:23:38] <Computer_barf> ive thus far been manually doing it, and recently doing it from the keyboard
[20:24:22] <Computer_barf> I have a small electric furnace I build with scrap from a ceramic kiln
[20:24:51] <JT-Shop> I'm thinking of building a barrel melter
[20:25:18] <Computer_barf> im not sure exactly what that would mean, a barrel lined with aluminum oxide bricks?
[20:25:58] <Computer_barf> I've done a simple pit with a barrel in it with air fed in , all ran on pine
[20:26:41] <Computer_barf> I would like to build a plastics cracking unit to make kerosene
[20:26:56] <Computer_barf> and then build a furnace that runs on kerosene
[20:27:20] <Computer_barf> something that hot you could melt cast iron :)
[20:27:35] <JT-Shop> it's pretty redneck just a barrel with both ends cut out sitting on a grate over a 1/4 of a barrel with water in the bottom
[20:27:46] <JT-Shop> you build a fire in the top barrel and toss in your scrap
[20:28:07] <JT-Shop> it melts and falls into the water making little nuggets of aluminum
[20:28:14] <Computer_barf> nothing more redneck than a pipe feeding into a hole in the ground
[20:28:37] <Computer_barf> oh no crucible
[20:28:46] <Computer_barf> i guess that is pretty redneck
[20:29:14] <SpeedEvil> seen ant hill casting?
[20:29:18] <Computer_barf> yeah
[20:29:20] <JT-Shop> effective for big things that won't fit into your crucible
