[00:56:56] <just_pink> 4000 ffeet of wire!!
[00:57:43] <just_pink> someone here?
[00:58:53] <malcom2073> Mebbe
[00:59:52] <just_pink> I want to celebrate the 8 rools of wire..
[01:00:40] <just_pink> soo nice to see them on the floor.
[01:02:01] <just_pink> now I just neet to order the terminal blocks
[01:04:15] <malcom2073> That's a lotta wire
[01:04:32] <just_pink> 0.75 miles
[01:04:37] <just_pink> 1.2 Km
[01:04:53] <malcom2073> What's it all for?

[01:19:41] <just_pink> cpresser: I'm look like a person that buy small quantities??
[01:22:28] <just_pink> cpresser: sheet is 48.000 by 96.000 inchs..
[01:22:38] <just_pink> how they ship it?
[01:23:51] <zeeshan|2> skunkworks: nope
[01:24:22] <zeeshan|2> index pulse doesnt seem to be there, will need to check with scope if i am even getting an analog signal at index area
[01:24:33] <just_pink> this is really stupid way to order. look.
[01:24:55] <just_pink> the sheet cost 65.28 USD
[01:25:42] <just_pink> just the shipping cost 135.00 USD
[01:26:17] <just_pink> total 200.28 USD
[01:26:41] <just_pink> I need a place that I can drive and buy.
[01:28:25] <malcom2073> just_pink: home depot and/or local hardware store
[01:28:35] <malcom2073> I know the TrueValue hardware here has 4x4 sheets, unsure about 4x8
[01:30:25] <just_pink> home depot / lowes.. stock just transparent, I need white (It's going to be a diffuser)
[01:31:19] <just_pink> the size not really matter, I'm going to machine it to very small pieces
[01:31:32] BitEvil is now known as SpeedEvil
[01:33:16] <malcom2073> Ah the ones around here have more selection, call around. Some other less local ones may
[01:33:30] <malcom2073> Also try actual hardware stores like true value/ace hardware
[01:37:04] <os1r1s> just_pink: Where are you located?
[01:39:23] <zeeshan|2> http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/261986624189?
[01:39:24] <zeeshan|2> buy my stuff!
[01:39:40] <malcom2073> zeeshan|2: buy my lathe and I'll buy your stuff :P
[01:40:56] <zeeshan|2> i will only buy a cnc lathe!
[01:41:00] <zeeshan|2> slant bed with live tooling
[01:41:06] <malcom2073> I can tilt this one
[01:41:15] <zeeshan|2> ive saved up 3k
[01:41:31] <zeeshan|2> i hope to find one for 3000~
[01:41:38] <zeeshan|2> slim chance, but will try
[01:41:42] <zeeshan|2> malcom2073: is it a wall mount lathe
[01:41:56] <malcom2073> zeeshan|2: it can be if your wall is strong enough :-P
[01:42:01] <zeeshan|2> :D
[01:42:09] <zeeshan|2> what kind of lathe?
[01:42:14] <malcom2073> southbend 9c
[01:42:27] <zeeshan|2> th at should be easy to sell
[01:42:30] <zeeshan|2> thats a desirable lathe
[01:42:39] <zeeshan|2> prolly get 1500-2000 for it?
[01:42:39] <malcom2073> Not in my area it seems
[01:42:42] <zeeshan|2> depending on the condition
[01:42:45] <malcom2073> Asking $1k
[01:42:47] <malcom2073> with tons of tooling
[01:42:48] <malcom2073> no bites
[01:42:51] <zeeshan|2> blah
[01:42:56] <zeeshan|2> where are you?
[01:42:57] <malcom2073> location location location! :P
[01:43:02] <malcom2073> South central PA
[01:43:07] <zeeshan|2> weird
[01:43:13] <zeeshan|2> east coast you'd think you could sell it easily
[01:43:15] <just_pink> os1r1s: I'm from NY
[01:43:27] <zeeshan|2> just_pink: what is wrong with your english then/
[01:43:34] <zeeshan|2> :-)
[01:43:43] <malcom2073> Ouch, harsh man lol
[01:44:01] <zeeshan|2> that came out wrong
[01:44:03] <malcom2073> Yeah I would've expected it to sell, but I keep knocking down the price on craigslist, nothin. Even posted it to a couple machine tool groups, they all gawked at the price
[01:44:07] <zeeshan|2> sometimes i need to think about what i type
[01:44:21] <os1r1s> just_pink: I usually get it from a local plastic supply company. If you search, I'm sure you will find one
[01:44:33] <zeeshan|2> malcom2073: really?
[01:44:35] <os1r1s> New York will almost certainly have one near
[01:44:39] <zeeshan|2> i saw one sell in toronto area
[01:44:42] <zeeshan|2> for $1500
[01:44:49] <malcom2073> Yeah, they regaled me with stories about how they got their southbends for $600-$800
[01:44:50] <malcom2073> heh
[01:44:56] <zeeshan|2> gimme a break
[01:44:57] <zeeshan|2> lol
[01:45:13] <os1r1s> zeeshan|2: On ebay the 9cs seem to go for around 500
[01:45:19] <zeeshan|2> that is ebay though
[01:45:23] <os1r1s> The 9a/b go for much more
[01:46:51] <malcom2073> I'm almost better parting it out

[01:48:27] <malcom2073> Hmm.... actually yeah. If I take it apart and clean up the parts, I can easily get $1k for the headstock, tailstock, saddle, bed, and gears independanly
[01:48:30] <zeeshan|2> that is perfect
[01:48:32] <zeeshan|2> no live tooling

[01:49:54] <zeeshan|2> full enclosure, servos
[01:50:00] <zeeshan|2> coolant, higher speed
[01:50:04] <zeeshan|2> it puts my lathe to shame
[01:50:20] <zeeshan|2> hyd chuck is really nice too

[02:05:05] <os1r1s> Is there a reason in pncconf that additional parport cards can't be configured for in and out?
[02:13:35] <just_pink> where I can get really precise square?
[02:13:57] <zeeshan|2> do you mean "where can I get a really precise square"?

[02:15:25] <zeeshan|2> i have these
[02:15:27] <zeeshan|2> i really like them
[02:15:38] <zeeshan|2> very precise
[02:15:58] <zeeshan|2> at least for most work
[02:16:26] <just_pink> I need just one
[02:16:43] <just_pink> and relatively small.

[02:24:40] <zeeshan|2> that is nice!
[02:25:15] <spline> zeeshan|2: is that for refinishing a surface?
[02:25:26] <zeeshan|2> the square?
[02:25:36] <spline> yeah the groz ebay link
[02:25:41] <spline> (not sure what they're for)
[02:25:45] <zeeshan|2> for setup
[02:25:49] <zeeshan|2> if you wanna square something
[02:25:58] <spline> ah
[02:26:11] <zeeshan|2> like for example i was trying to line up the exhaust manifold flange square to the spindle

[02:29:30] <zeeshan|2> nice
[02:29:34] <zeeshan|2> which wire did you end up getting
[02:31:53] <just_pink> THHN, It is oil and gosalin resistant type 2 comper to the MTW and the other. very cheap and avilible.
[02:32:07] <zeeshan|2> nice
[02:32:08] <just_pink> lowes
[02:32:16] <zeeshan|2> tha ts what i used for my enclosure
[02:32:53] <just_pink> also 8 rolls?
[02:33:00] <zeeshan|2> nah
[02:33:08] <zeeshan|2> i just stuck with black, red, white, green
[02:33:12] <zeeshan|2> and some blue
[02:33:19] <zeeshan|2> the blue was mtw wire though
[02:33:25] <zeeshan|2> it was for 24vdc signals
[02:33:32] <zeeshan|2> thhn was for 240 and 110vac lines
[02:35:55] <just_pink> I don't want to make mix and match, I make standard for wiring, this way everything is uniform

[03:32:17] <os1r1s> Anyone know the difference between the primary and secondary function in the mesaflash pin file?
[03:34:02] <pcw_home> In standard HM2 firmware the primary function of every pin is GPIO
[03:34:04] <pcw_home> secondary functions are things like encoder inputs, step or pwm outputs etc

[03:39:57] <os1r1s> pcw_home: So even if its set to a quad encoder as the secondary function, I can still use it as an input for a normal min/max switch?
[03:40:16] <pcw_home> yes
[03:40:28] <os1r1s> Awesome. Thx
[03:41:05] <pcw_home> the limitation is that you cannot use it as an output if the encoder function is enabled
[03:41:50] <pcw_home> (and functions can only be enabled in a 0 to N fashion not pin by pin)
[03:42:14] <os1r1s> pcw_home: Not sure I'm following the last one
[03:42:42] <pcw_home> say the config has 4 encoders ( 0 through 3 )
[03:44:11] <pcw_home> you options are enable 0 ( no ) encoders,
[03:44:12] <pcw_home> encoder 0
[03:44:14] <pcw_home> encoders 0,1
[03:44:15] <pcw_home> encoders 0,1,2
[03:44:17] <pcw_home> encoders 0,1,2,3
[03:44:45] <os1r1s> Ahh, ok. I think I got it. I'll watch for that
[03:47:32] <pcw_home> so if you only wanted encoder 2 and 3 enabled, its not possible
[03:47:33] <pcw_home> (well its possible in the hardware but it was thought that
[03:47:35] <pcw_home> the driver config string would get to complex if pin by pin enables were implemented )

[04:00:39] <trentster> Hi all - I think it would be a nice idea to have a "GRBL to LinuxCNC How-to" for folks making the move across. Since I am just starting out with LinuxCNC , Would anyone care to offer some pointers of converting settings from GRBL as shown when running $$ which returns the GRBL current config e.g. https://gist.github.com/trentster/ee1c5b3397c43fc5d4d5
[04:01:06] * furrywolf knows exactly zero about GRBL
[04:03:36] <furrywolf> ugh, arduino. My desire to help anyone who uses one is roughly nil.

[04:11:00] <furrywolf> some of the most utterly fucking stupid questions I've ever been asked have been from arduino users. sometimes it's a good thing to be unable to make something work without reading the fine manual thouroughly, as it makes sure anyone who uses it is capable of doing so.
[04:11:21] <os1r1s> trentster: I think any information to help new users is good info.

[04:23:28] <furrywolf> rather than questions like "I'm doing <something new> and I've read <google results> but can't figure out <whatever>", arduino questions always seem to be "I hooked these wires up randomly and then I stuck my finger in both the electrical outlet and my nose at the same time and then I connected the wires completely randomly because I found a howto that said to do that and how do I make it make pretty colors?"

[08:58:45] <bz> i need newb machinist advice
[08:59:44] <bz> so i need to drill set screw holes for a motor shaft i've just made
[08:59:58] <bz> how do i center the drill?
[09:03:37] <archivist> number of ways, if you have good machine and stubby drills you can get the centre line by measurement and know it will not wander
[09:03:55] <bz> have a good machine and long drills
[09:04:02] <bz> rather long drill bit, i mean
[09:04:13] <archivist> long bits bend
[09:04:39] <bz> so use a couple rounds of pilot holes first?
[09:05:08] <archivist> there are centre finding devices to scribe on a shaft so you can punch it
[09:06:35] <archivist> or use a centre drill to mark it for the pilot/main
[09:09:17] <fenn> if you mill a flat first and center punch the flat it won't wander
[09:09:42] <bz> wandering is only my second concern, though. my first issue is locating exact center
[09:10:05] <bz> i've done this already on a bridgeport, but the set screw holes came out just off to the side of the motor shaft
[09:10:23] <bz> and this is after i measured it with a running end mill
[09:10:30] <fenn> use edge finder and move over by the radius of the shaft plus the radius of the edge finder
[09:11:16] <fenn> are you drilling along the axis of the shaft or perpendicular to the axis?
[09:11:30] <bz> perpendicular
[09:11:49] <archivist> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RDGTOOLS-ROUND-BAR-CENTRE-FINDER-/290817748060
[09:12:17] <fenn> that seems pretty imprecise
[09:12:44] <bz> could you elaborate?
[09:12:46] <archivist> there are variation on the theme, some better
[09:12:57] <bz> oh wow, those exist
[09:12:59] <fenn> lol look at the stamping of the fiducial line http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxMzkw/$(KGrHqRHJCYFCkDC0E1yBQq6RF)ff!~~60_57.JPG
[09:13:52] <fenn> bz: do you know how to use an edge finder?
[09:14:13] <bz> so maybe the problem was drilling pilots without using a center drill, not my method of calculating center
[09:14:18] <bz> fenn: i don't think we have one
[09:14:35] <bz> hm
[09:14:48] <bz> checking now
[09:14:49] <archivist> centre drill is the ultimate stubby drill
[09:15:39] <bz> fenn: but i used an end mill in the same capacity as an edgefinder, though
[09:15:45] <fenn> measuring with an endmill ought to be good enough for set screws
[09:16:28] <bz> just found an edgefinder, meh
[09:16:34] <archivist> then the real problem was probably drill wandering if you missed the centre drill stage
[09:16:50] <bz> yeah i'm gonna try again now with center drilling first

[11:04:37] <trentster> Hey all
[11:05:44] <archivist> hay one
[11:06:36] <trentster> Is there any reason for small spindle cnc routers when sourcing high quality linear rail + blocks for Z axis to need anything wider than 15mm ?
[11:06:59] <trentster> I am looking at the weight rating and capacity for the linear stuff and its pretty high.
[11:08:10] <trentster> Is the main reason because of your Spindle and plate is very heavy you want something bigger that has pre loaded blocks to stop your axis sliding down the ballscrew when power to steppers is stopped?
[11:08:28] <trentster> Yo Archivist hows work today?
[11:09:00] <archivist> I was looking at some curved looking rails at a show, sales droid said the rails rely on the frame for straightness
[11:09:13] <archivist> no work today
[11:09:57] <SpeedEvil> trentster: larger size tends to mean stiffer
[11:09:59] <trentster> The reason I ask is my Schneebergers arrived today - incredible quality and rigidity and smooth movement, but I must say having them in front of me they do seem rather tiny ;-)
[11:10:16] <SpeedEvil> trentster: you rarely directly care about the absolute load maximum
[11:10:55] <trentster> yeah - so in hindsight I am wondering if these are suitable for My Z, what do you guys think?
[11:11:27] <trentster> https://www.schneeberger.com/en/products/linear-bearing-and-profiled-guideways/profiled-miniature-guideway/minirail-mini-x/
[11:11:28] <archivist> aboy 15mm on my 5 axis, good enough for me
[11:11:33] <archivist> about
[11:11:40] <trentster> in my case its actually 14mm
[11:12:18] <archivist> you have a lighter z than me anyway
[11:12:37] <trentster> archivist: yup
[11:12:46] <fenn> smaller spindles can have lower runout and higher rpm
[11:12:59] <archivist> spacing v travel is the question
[11:13:21] <fenn> but that's probably not an issue unless you are doing PCB engraving
[11:14:39] <trentster> I was kinda suprised to see the 4 tapped screw holes on each block is only M3 which is like toy hobby size

[11:22:23] <fenn> iirc hardened bolts have less shear strength
[11:22:40] <fenn> also you probably want the bolts to deform rather than snap off
[11:25:37] <fenn> huh "the shear strength of a bolt is 62% of its tensile strength" so i dunno where i got that from
[11:27:34] <archivist> coupler failure on that page, common problem when the alignment is off a bit
[11:28:36] <fenn> why do they make couplers out of aluminum which has zero fatigue limit
[11:29:17] <archivist> and why such a laterally stiff design
[11:29:48] <archivist> use the oldham or bellows designs
[11:30:02] <archivist> both allow more error
[11:30:11] <fenn> the shape seems fine to me
[11:30:11] <malcom2073> But are more expensive

[11:31:46] <archivist> I made my own oldham style, had to replace
[11:31:58] <fenn> why?
[11:32:06] <fenn> what went wrong
[11:32:36] <archivist> grinding noises due to the gap filler crushing
[11:32:41] <malcom2073> I thought about making my own oldham, doesn't seem that complicated to mill the pieces... but I figure there are probably some gotchas in the designs
[11:33:02] <fenn> it's technically an involute right?
[11:33:10] <archivist> no flat

[11:35:33] <fenn> why dont they make the couplers out of nylon
[11:35:34] <archivist> I screwed a bellows coupling with too much friction in the slide and high torque from the stepper
[11:36:16] <archivist> the "spider" in an oldham is a nylon ish plastic
[11:36:29] <fenn> the helical beam ones.. a material with high toughness and some flexibility
[11:37:18] <fenn> actually toughness doesn't matter, it's ... elasticity?
[11:37:56] <archivist> toughness is the ability to withstand elastic strain
[11:38:11] <archivist> all of the above :)
[11:41:57] <fenn> some steels can flex indefinitely below the elastic limit and never suffer fatigue failure... what's this called?
[11:42:47] <archivist> luck
[11:43:13] <fenn> apparently titanium does it too
[11:43:28] <archivist> I am inclined to say that is wishful thinking
[11:43:29] <fenn> it seems unlikely that only these two metals possess this material property

[14:32:54] <CaptHindsight> lair82: are you still using it for work or is it sitting isolated running 24/7? Intermittent problems are always the most fun.
[14:35:16] <lair82> No, the machine runs a ten hr shift 6 days a week, but the PC is never shut down, Linuxcnc is never shut down for that matter.
[14:37:22] <lair82> And the other two machines that are carbon copy builds, are left on for weeks/months at a time, and no issues with those machines. They are all networked together as well,
[14:38:09] <CaptHindsight> keep swapping parts until the problem goes away
[14:39:16] <CaptHindsight> one by one ... APU, DDR3, Power Supply

[14:43:13] <CaptHindsight> don't know what else
[14:44:09] <membiblio> lair82 - did you try removing this machine from the network for a while?
[14:47:30] <lair82> Here is how it lays out, the operator will be running along, get done with part, unload it, load a new part, touch off on the part, go to load the program, and it show's no programs in the nc files folder, so I minimize the linuxcnc GUI, and most times the desktop is blank, the only thing there is the blackish/purple background, there are times when the icons will still be there, but if you try to click on one, they disappear anyway,
[14:48:01] <membiblio> lair82 - you did replace the hd - right?
[14:48:15] <lair82> the physical button, then I have to turn the switch off on the power supply, turn it back on, restart the pc then all is good
[14:48:29] <lair82> Yep, brand new ssd
[14:48:31] <membiblio> lair82 - oh... now we getting somewhere

[14:49:16] <lair82> Swap?
[14:49:28] <lair82> The partition on the SSD/
[14:49:39] <membiblio> lair82 - well the fact that you power down and back up and all is find totally blows away the network intrusion issue - that is now OFF the table. Ok?
[14:49:55] <membiblio> lair82 - how much memory is in this machine?
[14:50:08] <lair82> 16Gb
[14:50:21] <lair82> Just what I had laying around
[14:50:37] <membiblio> lair82 - ok we make this machine MUCH less swapable - search on google for 'linux reduce swap'
[14:51:05] -!- The_Ball [The_Ball!~ballen@185.45.26.70] has joined #linuxcnc
[14:51:16] <membiblio> lair82 - linux reduce swappiness
[14:51:34] <membiblio> lair82 - sdd do not like to be written to like a hd, is bad for them
[14:51:50] <CaptHindsight> lair82: are the other 2-3 PC's setup with the EXACT same hardware and version of Linuxcnc?
[14:51:56] <membiblio> lair82 - so reduce swappiness first - so that is off the table to ok?
[14:52:10] <membiblio> too excuse me
[14:52:27] <lair82> Ok, will do
[14:52:45] <lair82> Yes the other machines are identical,
[14:53:06] <membiblio> lair82 - after that - do you know how to go into terminal with ctrl-alt-F1?
[14:53:16] <lair82> Yes
[14:53:39] <membiblio> lair82 - so next try restarting your gui - see if that fixes it like rebooting
[14:54:16] <membiblio> lair82 - I can bring up my machine at home - but I think you are running the 'other' os - which I can install so I can help more
[14:54:43] <membiblio> lair82 - which OS version of LinuxCNC are you using?
[14:54:51] <lair82> Ok, they are making chips on it right now, so it is going to have to wait, but I am writing this stuff down for when they are done
[14:55:04] <lair82> I am using Ubuntu 10.04
[14:55:21] <membiblio> Ok let me start the machine sitting right here and see which it is running
[14:56:01] -!- patrickarlt has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[14:58:21] -!- The_Ball has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[14:58:29] <membiblio> mine is running the debian 3.4-9-rtai-686-pae - I will install the Ubuntu 10.04 like you have - that is what I would rather use anyway since I changed to Linux Mint for my primary desktop os
[14:59:43] <membiblio> lair82 - ya know - thinking about it - this DOES seem like a memory issue - that being said - lets discuss
[14:59:52] <skunkworks_> CaptHindsight, coming to the tormach open house?
[15:01:52] -!- Daerist has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[15:01:52] <membiblio> lair82 - Can you run the memory diagnostics from the os or are they pre-os?
[15:02:28] -!- ivansanchez has quit []
[15:02:58] <membiblio> lair82 - on one of the consoles F1 or F2 or F3 I would like you to 'tail -f /var/log/kern.log' and on another dmesg.log or whatever is closest to those
[15:03:01] <lair82> I will have to look
[15:03:17] <membiblio> lair82 - and finally - you do know you can log in remotely to tail those files right?
[15:03:48] <membiblio> lair82 - via ssh
[15:04:10] <membiblio> lair82 - so you can watch them from your desktop or phone while the machine is running
[15:05:32] <membiblio> lair82 - help me - how did you dl the ubuntu version - I am on linuxcnc dl page and my eyes glaze over - where is ubuntu?
[15:05:39] <CaptHindsight> skunkworks: when is it?
[15:06:37] <membiblio> Never mind - other dl options -
[15:06:51] <lair82> The linux 2.5 version is the ubuntu version,
[15:07:10] <membiblio> gotcha I will dl 10.04 with cnc 2.5 and install it
[15:07:49] <lair82> I have never messed with the ssh stuff, It would be handy though, when shortly I will have 5 machines all running Linuxcnc in our shop
[15:08:02] <membiblio> Hey guys did you know /docs/EMC2_Getting_Started.pdf is not on the lcnc website? Link Broken
[15:09:18] <CaptHindsight> skunkworks: tomorrow, nope :)
[15:11:30] <lair82> membiblio, do you think maybe it's the power supply? I was just wondering because I always have to turn the PS itself off then back on for everything to come back up and work properly.
[15:12:21] <membiblio> lair82 - Maybe but probably not - Since we are shotgunning this - try - it could be.
[15:13:02] <membiblio> lair82 - this does seem like a 'the os has lost sanity' issue - which could be caused by anything the os requires to run. CPU, memory, ps
[15:13:26] <lair82> Ok, I was just wondering
[15:13:42] <membiblio> lair82 - this is why I say to 'tail -f kern.log' and dmesg - because when the os has issues it writes messages to those logs
[15:14:26] <membiblio> tail -f will Follow those files last lines written to the console so you need one console per tail
[15:14:55] <membiblio> ctrl-alt-f1 is one console - tail one file there ctrl-alt-f2 is another - do another file there
[15:14:58] <lair82> I see, so I can do that from my pc in my office, and the operator will not even know I am fiddling around inside his machine?
[15:15:08] <membiblio> Yes that is correct.
[15:15:15] <membiblio> Is your office pc linux or win?
[15:16:10] <membiblio> So find the ip address of that machine, if dynamic go to console and type ifconfig and it will spit out assigned address
[15:16:34] <membiblio> from office pc use ssh, if win you need to dl ssh client like Putty (I recommend)
[15:16:53] <membiblio> add a user account for yourself to the machine
[15:17:35] <membiblio> be sure the machine will allow remote ssh - which you may need to config in /etc/ssh_config - a little google will help here
[15:17:54] <membiblio> and then voila -
[15:18:18] <membiblio> but be sure to use secure PW's from that point forward - no password123 stuff or you know
[15:19:24] <lair82> I have a PC in my office with dual OS Ubuntu/Debian that is solely for working on my configs and for testing stuff
[15:20:07] <membiblio> ok there is really no reason to use windows anymore with products like Linux Mint - it looks windowish and works extremely well
[15:20:37] <membiblio> People do seem to like w10 but I loose so much productivity, for months, when I change
[15:21:03] <lair82> My regular office pc, that I am using now is still XP
[15:21:33] <membiblio> Well - I think American Business would be better off using Linux Mint - productivity wise
[15:21:57] <membiblio> Did you all know we are not supposed to use American anymore - leaves South American's out... :(
[15:22:15] <membiblio> I forget there is another hemisphere :) Typical American...
[15:22:28] <lair82> I concur with that, I just had to build a Win 7 32bit machine, it took 3 days of updates to get it to work, and of the 300 plus updates, 7 of them will absolutely not install on the machine.
[15:23:55] <membiblio> I give up on Windows only because I believe that Microsoft has abandoned us. I might be wrong - all I know is Linux Mint based on Ubuntu will allow me to work as I have for the last 20 years since Windows came out.
[15:24:03] <archivist> I had to remove an incompatible intel driver on one machine to get win7 updates to work
[15:24:37] <lair82> ?????????? I wonder if that is what the deal is with mine.
[15:25:08] <membiblio> I installed Mint on a friends laptop - no wireless - dled the broadcom driver package - make, make install and voila! works :)
[15:25:15] <archivist> took an age to find the problem was a toshiba laptop iirc
[15:25:28] <lair82> I put together a Asrock D1800B-ITX with a samsung 120 gb SSD
[15:25:33] <membiblio> archivist - how did you find and which one exactly was it?

[15:50:30] <Rab> The point of satire is that we're already there.
[15:50:40] <membiblio> Idiocracy
[15:51:06] <membiblio> Well - please call your congressmen - this is important
[15:52:06] <membiblio> I don't know much about all this - high school did not teach about import export bank - maybe we need to.
[15:53:39] <CaptHindsight> need a Time Macheen to go back and block the dumbing down

[15:54:23] <membiblio> lair82 see if you can ssh into the machine
[15:54:27] <membiblio> ping it first
[15:54:44] <lair82> do I do the ssh from a terminal window?

[17:28:38] <Rab> zeeshan-lab, not any more!
[17:28:56] <Rab> But I did get it running with live hardware, to an extent.
[17:29:41] <furrywolf> grrrr. the guy that shipped me a breaker instead of my connector wants me to ship it back fedex before he sends the right item. fedex means I have to drive it to town.
[17:29:45] <furrywolf> someone is getting negative feedback.
[17:30:24] <Rab> furrywolf, is he covering return shipping?
[17:30:54] <furrywolf> yes
[17:30:57] <zeeshan-lab> rab my friend wants to run linuxcnc using his bbb
[17:30:59] <Rab> That's good.
[17:31:04] <zeeshan-lab> hes wondering if its relatively easy to use the gpio
[17:31:11] <zeeshan-lab> for limit switches for example
[17:32:09] <Rab> zeeshan-lab, I found the device tree overlay system pretty baffling. If he can use one of the default cape configurations (e.g. RAMPS), which generally do support limit inputs, that would make things easier.
[17:32:58] <Rab> I had limit and estop inputs working.
[17:33:11] <zeeshan-lab> and maybe even pulsing them to drive the steppers
[17:33:11] <zeeshan-lab> (in real time!)
[17:33:11] <zeeshan-lab> ill be back.
[17:33:24] <Rab> s/RAMPS/CRAMPS
[17:34:04] <furrywolf> CRAMPS? works three days a month whether you want it to or not?
[17:36:48] <Rab> zeeshan-lab, see these capes. They mostly/all have predigested configs in machinekit: http://blog.machinekit.io/p/hardware-capes.html
[17:37:47] <Rab> Of course your friend doesn't need the physical cape hardware, he can just interface right to the I/O headers on the same pins the selected cape uses.
[17:37:49] -!- mhaberler has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[17:38:35] <Rab> Although he should do so carefully, since the headers expose raw unbuffered CPU pins and are reputedly fragile.
[17:39:32] <furrywolf> lol
[17:41:43] <Rab> Some of the capes are reasonably cheap.
[17:46:42] <furrywolf> personally, I'd suggest staying away from anything other than x86 hardware. anything else will likely soon be poorly supported. all those projects tend to be fads and eventually you end up with an old kernel and no support...

[19:36:48] <just_pink> I think the Laser Scan Micrometer can be useful for the g0704 tool length measuring system

[20:58:59] <PCW> well maybe not 015 since those are GPIO numbers not DB25 pin numbers
[20:59:23] <os1r1s> PCW: Ok. So that would be the DB25 pin
[21:00:24] <PCW> net estop-ext <= hm2_5i25.0.gpio.003.in

[22:25:50] <furrywolf> I tried buying a gopro once. it was at a yard sale with a $3 sticker on it. I figured it was broken or something. I went to pay, and it turned out he meant $300. I did not buy it.
[22:26:02] <XXCoder> drat
[22:26:23] <XXCoder> but yeah dunno why people think their used stuff count for same price as new
[22:26:29] <XXCoder> in few cases even above!!
[22:26:58] <XXCoder> I saw nook (orginial) for $200, when NEW nook simple touch (later version) was still being sold for $50
[22:27:18] <furrywolf> yeah, I see yard sale and craigslist prices like that all the time.
[22:27:57] <furrywolf> and on craigslist they almost invariably start spamming it in multiple categories and reposting it every day because they think that'll make them more likely to find some sucker who doesn't realize what a bad price it is.
[22:28:31] <XXCoder> heh yeah I remember one that there was over 50 entries for some really crappy hardware
[22:28:41] <furrywolf> or they're old people with computers. "I paid almost $3000 for it only ten years ago! You're trying to rip me off by telling me it's not still worth $2500!"
[22:29:21] <andypugh> So I reformatted my HD (because I have backups) and reinstalled the OS, and then found that the backup was damaged and can’t be recovered.
[22:29:21] <XXCoder> computer valye = orginial * (1 / number of days since bought)
[22:29:46] <furrywolf> andypugh: ouch. how much of the backup can you recover?

[22:30:45] <furrywolf> did you do a quick reformat or a wipe-everything one?
[22:31:01] <Tom_itx> it forces you to start a fresh
[22:31:14] <furrywolf> if it took less than 5 minutes, you can usually recover your data.
[22:31:21] <andypugh> I probably could
[22:31:34] <furrywolf> actually, if you already reinstalled, never mind.
[22:31:34] <andypugh> But then the data also exists in the backup, technically

[22:35:32] <XXCoder> andypugh: that is why there is annual "restore your backup" day :)
[22:37:03] <JT-Shop> does BackupPC work on a mac?
[22:40:08] <andypugh> The problem is that during my attempts to restore I tried to delete an empty share. But that was the one with the backups in, they were just invisible to the NAS GUI for some reason.
[22:40:40] <andypugh> So, I have about 1TB of 8k files that make up the majority, but not all, of the backup.

[22:43:12] <andypugh> I keep finding old HDDs too, which contain stuff.
[22:44:40] <JT-Shop> I have a mac but I think the HD is bad and I don't have the OS either so it is a paper weight
[22:45:04] <furrywolf> andypugh: I'd start by figuring out how your backup was damaged and how to recover it.
[22:45:23] <XXCoder> that is useful for how to avoid bad backups again
[22:45:31] <XXCoder> *too
[22:46:00] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop, sitting next to the boat anchor?
[22:46:23] <JT-Shop> near the boat anchor yes
[22:46:41] <andypugh> I deleted some of the sparsebundle bands.
[22:46:50] <zeeshan|2> andypugh: can't do a restore?
[22:47:02] <zeeshan|2> like using recuva ?
[22:47:15] <zeeshan|2> if you havent tried to access the hd w/ the data
[22:47:22] <zeeshan|2> it should still be recoverable , u nless you did a low level format

[22:48:00] <zeeshan|2> doh
[22:48:25] <andypugh> The backup is a “sparsebundle” of 8k files, but I deleted some by mistake
[22:49:25] <andypugh> It’s like the old days of trying to stitch together the sectors of a floppy disk, but with 2TB rather than 1MB
[22:53:45] * furrywolf has never even heard of a sparsebundle, but googles anyway
[22:54:08] <zeeshan|2> i was still in my diapers when andypugh was sparsebundling
[22:54:30] <andypugh> zeeshan|2: To be fair, that was only last year.

[22:56:15] <zeeshan|2> i still find it odd andy uses a mac
[22:56:15] <zeeshan|2> :p
[22:57:21] <XXCoder> mac
[22:57:22] <furrywolf> like most mac stuff, finding nothing useful googling.
[22:57:35] <XXCoder> yeah because nobody does useful anything with mac lol

[23:02:48] <andypugh> I am probably going to wait until I remember something that I _really_ want before I worry too much about it
[23:04:19] <andypugh> For example I thought “That gear calculation spreadsheet was useful, ah, but I emailed it to Ben, so it’s in my gmail archive”
[23:04:32] <andypugh> And that is true for quite a lot of stuff
[23:05:38] <furrywolf> https://github.com/abique/tmfs or https://github.com/torarnv/sparsebundlefs might be handy in some fashion
[23:05:56] * zeeshan|2 hates the policy at school
[23:06:03] <zeeshan|2> need 3 ppl in the furnace room to operate furnace
[23:06:11] <XXCoder> dang that is so close on clearance. https://youtu.be/HH8Xkw4Awbc
[23:06:19] <zeeshan|2> i had to outsource my stress relieving heat treatment
[23:07:20] <furrywolf> couldn't get a couple minions?
[23:10:14] <zeeshan|2> they were busy making minions 2
[23:10:14] <zeeshan|2> ;[
[23:10:20] <XXCoder> lol
[23:10:31] <zeeshan|2> i love minions
[23:10:34] <furrywolf> looking at https://github.com/torarnv/sparsebundlefs/blob/master/sparsebundlefs.cpp , the sparsebundle format looks remarkably trivial - that is, they're just slices of a disk image, with no fancy mapping schemes or anything.
[23:10:52] <furrywolf> in that case, you can probably just concatenate them all together, padding missing bands with zeroes, and use normal disk recovery tools on it.
[23:11:06] <furrywolf> how many of the band files are you missing?
[23:11:45] <andypugh> I don’t know how to tell
[23:11:52] <furrywolf> (or, pad missing bands with 0xDEADBEEF, just so you can easily spot if any of the missing data ends up in a recovered file)
[23:12:34] <JT-Shop> did you lose your arrest records?
[23:13:22] <furrywolf> looks like they're numbered consecutively (in hexadecimal) from 0 to however many there are, so check how contiguous your numbering looks.
[23:13:54] <furrywolf> the first ten are probably the most important for an effort-free recovery
[23:14:51] <furrywolf> also, an Info.plist file has some settings in it
[23:18:56] <andypugh> <integer>8388608</integer>
[23:19:03] <andypugh> Looks like the number of bands
[23:19:18] <andypugh> wc says I have 198218 files
[23:19:38] <furrywolf> that's probably the size of each band
[23:19:45] <furrywolf> yes, it is.
[23:19:58] <andypugh> Ah, yes
[23:20:13] <furrywolf> number after that should be size of image
[23:20:33] <furrywolf> so you have the Info.plist file I take it?
[23:20:40] <andypugh> Yes
[23:20:58] <furrywolf> what is the next number in it, which should be the total image size?
[23:21:22] <andypugh> size is meant to be 1987941040128 and file count x size is 1662773100544
[23:21:42] <furrywolf> hrmm, actually, size might be maximum size, not current size
[23:21:58] <furrywolf> do you have band 0?

[23:24:13] <andypugh> Hard to say
[23:24:28] <andypugh> ssh into a 200k file directory is slow
[23:24:37] <furrywolf> I'm reading up on time machine's format now...
[23:26:02] <furrywolf> time machine apparantly adds a layer of hardlinks
[23:26:14] <andypugh> I have 0, 100, 1000, 10000, 10002, 10003…
[23:27:23] <furrywolf> what error do you get trying to restore it, anyway?
[23:27:40] <andypugh> It just won’t look at it
[23:27:56] <furrywolf> if you have the 0 band, life should be easy, as that should have the filesystem information, I believe...
[23:28:04] <andypugh> Normally at that point you would mount the sparesebundle as a disk image, but it won’t have that either
[23:28:41] <andypugh> I have 20 but not 2…
[23:29:29] <andypugh> 30, 300, 3000, 30000, 30001…
[23:30:20] <furrywolf> is 1.5tb a good estimate for the original size of the image?
[23:30:20] <andypugh> What I actually get is “file not found” so potentially I could manually create empty files with the missing names
[23:31:09] -!- mhaberler has quit [Quit: mhaberler]
[23:31:15] <andypugh> The backup had grown to 1.8TB as an incremental backup of a 1TB disc
[23:32:02] <furrywolf> hrmm, so it probably has a bunch of old bands you're not currently using, from what I'm reading about time machine.
[23:32:18] <andypugh> Yes
[23:34:27] <furrywolf> you have enough data you have a good chance of getting most of it off. first thing to do is MAKE A BACKUP of your broken backup, so if you break it worse, you can restore it.
[23:34:30] <andypugh> Messing about with a 2TB file is difficult
[23:34:42] <furrywolf> yes
[23:35:02] <andypugh> I don’t actually have anything big enough to put the sparsebundle on
[23:35:15] <XXCoder> if you has some budget you could buy 2 tb drive for say $50 to 100
[23:35:29] <furrywolf> first rule of data recovery is always work on a copy. :)

[23:51:33] <furrywolf> "recreate all filesystems" should not be a step.
