Back
[00:00:22] <robinsz> I only got it because adamanda had one and rated it
[00:00:27] <andypugh> Yeah, I was fairly proud of the S-Max
[00:00:32] <MacGalempsy> hello :)
[00:00:32] <CaptHindsight> Wolf_Mill: what vehicle is that pic from?
[00:00:43] <CaptHindsight> 51.6mpg
[00:00:48] <Wolf_Mill> thats the other problem w/the 6.7 ford update, truck started eating adblue like crazy
[00:01:01] <Wolf_Mill> my golf wagen
[00:01:24] <Wolf_Mill> I average 37-42mpg per tank
[00:02:14] <robinsz> want to see what I cut on my EMC controlled router?
[00:02:45] <Praesmeodymium> the nitrous emmsions were responsible for californias photchemical smog, r at least a larg contributor. we have areas where the weather can put a cap on a valley and leave the stale air there for weeks
[00:03:02] <Praesmeodymium> I think the smog concern is why we are so strict on those
[00:03:19] <zeeshan|2> hi friends
[00:03:51] <andypugh> Praesmeodymium: Indeed, but it might make more sense to ban cars there, than to set NOx emissions low everywhere because of there. (As there is a fairly straight trade-off between low NOx and fuel efficiency)

[00:04:39] <MacGalempsy> Central Cali has several cities in the top 10 of worst air quality
[00:05:08] <Wolf_Mill> ^ seen a few people on the VW forums grumbling about delete kits and malone tunes if there is a recall ecm flash
[00:05:09] <MacGalempsy> Hot valley air raises up, sucks in all the nasty bay area air

[00:05:25] <robinsz> https://www.dropbox.com/s/kwf6fj943s9l66m/DSC_1671.jpg?dl=0
[00:05:45] <Praesmeodymium> yeah well its this whole 2 govenrments problem really makes for interesting things
[00:05:53] <MacGalempsy> nice work robinsz
[00:05:58] <Praesmeodymium> states rights vs federal laws
[00:06:09] <robinsz> full 8x4 sheet
[00:06:17] <robinsz> 6mm 5083 ally
[00:06:37] <robinsz> single flute tungsten @18,000 rpm, no lube
[00:06:43] <Praesmeodymium> I want that
[00:06:49] <Praesmeodymium> le sigh
[00:07:10] <robinsz> it takes 4.5 hours to run a full sheet
[00:07:16] <andypugh> robinsz: Vacuum table?
[00:07:29] <robinsz> andypugh, yes, 10hp
[00:07:37] <zeeshan|2> how come youre routing that?
[00:07:40] <zeeshan|2> and not laser/waterjet
[00:07:59] <robinsz> zeeshan|2, laser would be too poor edge quality
[00:08:05] <andypugh> And more to the point, just how many letter boxes do you have?
[00:08:17] <robinsz> 2U front panels for amplifiers
[00:08:36] <Contract_Pilot> Feel icky!
[00:08:43] <MacGalempsy> pic of final product?
[00:08:49] <robinsz> andypugh, I glue the 6mm ally to 2mm MDF with spray contact adhesive
[00:09:08] <robinsz> keeps that centre from moving about
[00:09:24] <Contract_Pilot> Funny reading the review on another site same seller on walmart market place order a cable sent an unbrella!
[00:09:26] <robinsz> break it up when done, dump in bucket of white sprirt

[00:10:03] <Contract_Pilot> http://www.walmart.com/ip/46930349 no telling what will be in the box.
[00:10:10] <andypugh> Enc up with a pile of MDF soaked in flammable solvent.
[00:10:50] <Contract_Pilot> Auto & Tires Interior Car Accessories Interior Car Accessories
[00:10:50] <Contract_Pilot> is the catagory maybe they send a box of air freshners
[00:10:51] <robinsz> MacGalempsy, I dont have any pics to hand, but if you look here you'll get the idea: http://pa.matrixamplification.com/mf-series/xt7000mf.html
[00:11:00] <andypugh> Not that there is anything wrong with having a pile of wood soaked in solvent. It might even be useful.
[00:11:10] <robinsz> andypugh, binfire night is coming
[00:12:11] <andypugh> Be a bit careful, though. Isn’t white spirit one of the solvents that can spontaneously ignite rags / wood?
[00:12:28] <robinsz> I thought that was linseed?
[00:13:14] <MacGalempsy> cool. do you make a tube amp?
[00:13:14] <robinsz> anyway, we spread it around outside and let it evaporate, then take straight to dump, it doesnt come back in
[00:13:19] <robinsz> yes.
[00:13:42] <robinsz> http://usa.matrixamplification.com/guitar-amps.html
[00:14:06] <renesis> ha matrix amps
[00:14:07] <robinsz> just running another batch of 200 this week
[00:14:10] <renesis> that guy is pretty cool
[00:14:14] <andypugh> robinsz: Sounds like you are OK anyway “The classic example of spontaneous ignition is rags soaked in linseed oil. The spontaneous ignition of oil-soaked rags is not as common as it used to be because of the popularity of acrylic paints that do not require the use of ‘drying oils’ such as linseed oil. However, the problem still occurs with oil-based paints and some timber stains and polishes. Linseed oil is the m
[00:14:14] <andypugh> common example of a ‘drying oil’ but rapeseed, cottonseed, peanut, corn oil and safflower oil may also self-heat. Fish oils are notorious for their self-heating properties. Mineral oils like white spirit, mineral turpentine or lubricating oil are not prone to self-heating and will not cause spontaneous ignition."
[00:14:19] <renesis> wonder if he still sells with out certification tags
[00:14:36] <DaViruz> i've found white spirits to be quite tricky to set on fire even if you're trying hard
[00:14:54] <robinsz> renesis, all USA stuff is sold with a part 15 declaration
[00:15:13] <andypugh> DaViruz: That makes it one of the better fuels for fire-breathing
[00:15:17] <renesis> when i worked at line 6, they had the matrix amps guy in about doing contract work for them, they asked him how he came up with his great guitar amps
[00:15:31] <DaViruz> it really only burns with a wick it seems
[00:15:31] <robinsz> renesis, ah that was Andy
[00:15:34] <renesis> engineering already knew they were standard mosfet AB amps with offline switcher power supplies
[00:15:45] <CaptHindsight> hmm self cooking fish, must investigate this oil phenomenon
[00:15:51] <DaViruz> andypugh: makes sense!
[00:16:00] <robinsz> renesis, yeah, line6 are really good at amps
[00:16:05] <renesis> so he tells the big wigs OH YEAH THATS JUST A STANDARD APPLICATION CIRCUIT FROM THE MOSFET COMPANY
[00:16:16] <renesis> engineering thought it was awesome, the musicians felt lied to
[00:16:21] <robinsz> renesis, how is that PA gear selling btw?
[00:16:23] <MacGalempsy> my dad has been buying old tube radios the last few months. he buys boxes of them then tests and resales on ebay
[00:16:38] <renesis> robinsz: i was the lead tech on the speakers, heh
[00:16:39] <MacGalempsy> boxes of tubes that is
[00:16:49] <DaViruz> i've never been much of a fire breather myself.
[00:16:49] <renesis> as far as i know, theyre not selling, which most of us expected
[00:16:57] <robinsz> renesis, thats correct.
[00:17:14] <robinsz> are you at the LA amp show?
[00:17:18] <renesis> which is correct?
[00:17:23] <renesis> no ive never been
[00:17:23] <DaViruz> though i'll admit i have something of a pyromanic streak..
[00:17:24] <robinsz> they are not selling
[00:17:28] <renesis> and i dont live in LA right now
[00:17:31] <robinsz> k
[00:17:42] <robinsz> we are still waiting for Helix samples
[00:17:43] <renesis> also line 6 was like 4 years ago
[00:17:47] <robinsz> right
[00:17:51] <renesis> man that thing looks hella sexy
[00:17:55] <renesis> but wtf at the price
[00:18:08] <robinsz> its a bit in the cheap end of market
[00:18:21] <robinsz> half the price of AxeFX
[00:18:22] <renesis> really? thing is like $1600, no?
[00:18:26] <robinsz> yeah
[00:18:35] <renesis> axefx is like $3k?
[00:18:36] <renesis> damn
[00:18:38] <robinsz> yeah
[00:18:44] <renesis> who the fuck is buying this shit
[00:18:48] <robinsz> I have AxeFX and Kemper here
[00:18:53] <robinsz> everyone!
[00:19:00] <renesis> kemper stuff looks pretty neat
[00:19:23] <robinsz> yeah, it is
[00:19:37] <robinsz> we sell a shit tonne of amps to AxeFX guys
[00:19:52] <robinsz> and a smaller number to kemper
[00:20:57] <renesis> anyway, CTO of line 6 retired so its basically fucked
[00:21:09] <robinsz> well, it is now part of Yamaha
[00:21:16] <renesis> everyone thinks marcus is the brains but that guy couldnt design himself out of a cardboard box

[00:21:31] <robinsz> it was all going south when Bruce joined
[00:21:47] <renesis> bruce who?
[00:22:05] <norias> Burce Campbell
[00:22:15] <renesis> and yeah yamaha is been pretty hands off but theyre not hitting sales goals so who knows how much longer
[00:22:25] <CaptHindsight> not the actor
[00:22:38] <renesis> yeah dunno about him over there
[00:23:00] <robinsz> sorry, brain fart ... Joe
[00:23:17] <renesis> the 'acoustic engineer' they had do the PA stuff was just an old project manager friend of marcus'
[00:23:34] <robinsz> Yamaha is only really interested in the radio mic stuff
[00:23:58] <renesis> guy didnt know much, but he knew enough to bring doug button in at some point
[00:23:59] <robinsz> they'll give it a shot with helix, but if it doesnt fly, I think there will be trouble
[00:24:13] <renesis> well i think they wanted the variax stuff for their guitars
[00:24:23] <robinsz> yes, thats true
[00:24:23] <renesis> prob sucked to find out shit wasnt modularized at all
[00:24:31] <robinsz> heh
[00:24:47] <renesis> that was my first project at line 6, the next gen variax
[00:24:48] <robinsz> well, we'll see where it goes
[00:25:05] <renesis> cool tech, DFM sucks
[00:25:12] <robinsz> we are releasign some new speaker/amp products to go with Helix
[00:25:26] <renesis> where are you working?
[00:25:32] <robinsz> im in UK
[00:25:42] <robinsz> but we have factoy in Ventura

[00:26:49] <Wolf_Mill> yay I made something with the cnc (first thing I would call a real part anyways) http://i.imgur.com/fD7Z76M.jpg its almost square... and holes are mostly round lol
[00:26:51] <robinsz> a neat powered 12" and a powered 10"
[00:27:50] <renesis> would love to have time to make some audio trash
[00:27:52] <robinsz> Wolf_Mill, the bearing holder part?
[00:27:58] <Wolf_Mill> yup
[00:28:02] <robinsz> renesis, :) where are you located?
[00:28:24] <robinsz> Wolf_Mill, neat
[00:28:30] <renesis> north cali for school, 90 miles north of sacramento
[00:28:38] <robinsz> oh, well north
[00:28:39] <renesis> im down in LA for work during breaks
[00:29:00] <robinsz> well, feel free to hit me up, I am occasionally in vnetura
[00:29:21] <robinsz> you know the guys at Mission Engineering? i think they are up your way

[00:29:34] <renesis> nope but that sounds familiar
[00:29:47] <renesis> i think someone else asked the same thing actually, haha
[00:29:58] <andypugh> OK, time to go.

[00:30:27] <robinsz> Petaluma
[00:30:35] <robinsz> night Mr Pugh
[00:31:27] <renesis> my availability is kind of fucked for a couple more years
[00:32:15] <renesis> tho lack of opportunity while at school was one of the reasons i moved here, heh
[00:32:24] <malcom2073> Wolf_Mill: Awesome!
[00:32:24] <robinsz> hah
[00:32:27] -!- Contract_Pilot1 has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
[00:32:46] <renesis> for example, petaluma is like 3 hours from here, so getting there during the semester wont happen
[00:32:52] <robinsz> right
[00:33:01] <robinsz> america is so ... big
[00:33:14] <renesis> and while im sure i could find work in the bay area, i dont have a place to stay, and i have to keep my place at school
[00:33:22] <renesis> in LA i have places to crash
[00:33:39] <robinsz> you go to NAMM?
[00:33:39] <Wolf_Mill> oops, and I just blew up the AC servo board
[00:33:47] <robinsz> oopsie
[00:34:01] <renesis> fuck i cant while in school its always the week after spring session starts
[00:34:06] <robinsz> shame
[00:34:10] <renesis> im seriously sad about it
[00:34:12] <renesis> yeah
[00:34:19] <robinsz> i fly over every year for it
[00:34:30] <renesis> its such a great show
[00:34:32] <robinsz> except this last one, was busy moving factory
[00:35:04] <renesis> ive only been to 3, but its fuckin overwhelming i really wish i could make it
[00:35:19] <robinsz> I usually do 3 days, and still dont see it all
[00:35:31] <robinsz> I do frankfurt as well
[00:35:32] <renesis> your ventura place is a CM or you guys own it?
[00:35:39] <robinsz> CM?
[00:35:45] <renesis> contract manufacturer
[00:35:46] <malcom2073> Wolf_Mill: Lol whups, what happened?
[00:35:52] <robinsz> no we own
[00:35:59] <renesis> very nice
[00:36:04] <robinsz> own SMT lines
[00:36:18] <renesis> very very nice
[00:36:24] <robinsz> just opening up a woodshop for the cabinets
[00:36:27] <Wolf_Mill> pot hit the heatsink, blew some shit up
[00:37:19] <malcom2073> Damn
[00:37:26] <renesis> ive thought about opening up a little audio CM
[00:37:46] <robinsz> dunno if there is money in it
[00:37:49] <renesis> something like 100 miles out from LA or the bay
[00:38:04] <robinsz> would people not just sub contract to China?
[00:38:04] <renesis> well its the assumption that the china shit stops working in 3-4 years
[00:38:21] <renesis> and companies are setup to work with CMs instead of running their own factories
[00:38:26] <robinsz> but, if its your design just PCB stuffed and cased in china

[00:38:39] <renesis> because theres problems
[00:38:51] <robinsz> it works for us in USA, because we get full retail
[00:38:51] <renesis> like, thats all ive worked with for the past 7 years
[00:39:06] <robinsz> but subcon, its low margin
[00:39:18] <renesis> right, most companies are 3PL and CM based engineering companies
[00:39:29] <renesis> and china is getting less profitable every year
[00:39:33] <robinsz> it is
[00:39:34] <malcom2073> Wolf_Mill: https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/t31.0-8/12028650_1143085655705814_5572230064951336056_o.jpg
[00:39:39] <renesis> also its pissing engineers off, burning them out
[00:39:44] <robinsz> yup
[00:39:46] <renesis> and its fucking up schedules over and over
[00:40:03] <robinsz> well, we do that to ourselves :)
[00:40:17] <renesis> its going to come back to america for the same reason it went to china, the accountants will figure out theyre not making money anymore
[00:40:24] <robinsz> yep

[00:40:30] <Wolf_Mill> malcom2073: cool
[00:40:36] <renesis> at the very least i think its going to shift to central and south america
[00:40:57] <robinsz> renesis, what is funny to watch is GC imploding
[00:41:09] <robinsz> thats one to avoid
[00:41:13] <renesis> the time zone thing is huge, a huge part of the issues is people are communicating technical shit while half asleep in broken language
[00:41:20] <robinsz> heh
[00:41:30] <renesis> GC deserves whatever happens to them
[00:41:40] <robinsz> yep, its coming ...
[00:41:52] <renesis> theyre such assholes, ive heard they talk about sam ash like theyre a threat they gotta kill
[00:41:58] <renesis> talk about kickin a dead guy
[00:42:19] <robinsz> its just too big and stuffed full of debt
[00:43:11] <robinsz> well, that rapidly went from CNC to "Audio Industry Insider" didint it?
[00:43:24] <renesis> wonder how many people just use them as a showroof for online amazon and sweetwater purchases now
[00:44:03] <robinsz> they still shift a lot of stuff, but not much of the high margin stuff anymore
[00:44:04] <renesis> shrug, audio people hiding everywhere
[00:44:16] <robinsz> sweetwater are very focused
[00:44:24] <robinsz> and very marketing led
[00:44:40] <robinsz> their cubefarm is vast
[00:44:47] <renesis> im amazed how coordinated their sales guys are
[00:44:51] <robinsz> yep
[00:45:02] <renesis> like they will find me the dude i ordered shit from 2 years ago at another company
[00:45:03] <robinsz> some big CRM stuff going on there
[00:45:10] <robinsz> yep
[00:46:07] <robinsz> we stay away from the retailers tbh
[00:46:15] <robinsz> prefer lower volume at full margin
[00:46:22] <renesis> great way to cut your profits in half instantly
[00:46:35] <robinsz> yep
[00:46:39] <robinsz> and get paid late
[00:46:45] <renesis> put yourself in a lot of corners regarding inventory
[00:47:06] <robinsz> we do fine through our webshop
[00:47:17] <renesis> carvin style
[00:47:18] <robinsz> and one or two boutique outlets
[00:47:28] <robinsz> liek Tonemerchants
[00:48:03] <renesis> you can keep track of that tho
[00:48:11] <robinsz> exactly
[00:48:33] <renesis> GC would troll stanton/cerwin-vega/krk so hard
[00:48:44] <robinsz> i can imagine
[00:48:59] <robinsz> when theyhave the whiphand ...
[00:49:05] <renesis> COOL WE REALLY LIKE THAT NEW PRODUCT, WERE GONNA GIVE YOU ALL THE OLD ONES BACK SO YOU CAN MAKE A BUNDLE WERE GONNA SELL AT THIS
[00:49:18] <robinsz> yeah
[00:49:25] <renesis> like, no money made, but they do it anyway because where else you gonna sell that many
[00:49:35] <renesis> lose money on it sitting on a 3PL shelf
[00:49:45] <robinsz> yup, we dont play that game
[00:49:54] <robinsz> full price or no dice :0
[00:50:12] <robinsz> ok, I admit, I did give Metallica a discount ;)
[00:50:38] <renesis> like, im as sick of corporate audio as i thought i would be, but you learn a ton gettin the shit made at a price that actually supports the business
[00:51:09] <renesis> robinsz: yeah see most companies would have just given metallica the gear
[00:51:13] <robinsz> yeah, we do everyting we can in house, otherwise you die on margin
[00:51:31] <robinsz> renesis, yeah, but then they dont value it
[00:51:43] <renesis> course not
[00:52:11] <robinsz> they use ours all the time now, in all their touring rigs
[00:52:13] <renesis> line 6 gave gary busey an amp, spider valve i think
[00:52:16] <robinsz> all paid for

[00:52:32] <renesis> the tech who loaded into his truck said it was all very puckey smelling
[00:52:40] <robinsz> hah
[00:52:41] <renesis> they just gave everything away
[00:52:49] <robinsz> we never do that
[00:53:16] <robinsz> I love musicians asking for 50% off ...
[00:53:39] <renesis> see its funny because you guys can probably afford that
[00:53:56] <robinsz> "sure, well, I didnt give Metallica 50% .. but, if you are bigger/more famous, then sure, you can get 50%"
[00:54:02] <renesis> the companies ive worked for arguably couldnt, and 50% was the standard artist discount
[00:54:22] <robinsz> 30% is for "good" artists,
[00:54:33] <renesis> so basically, jimi hendrix gets 50%
[00:54:35] <robinsz> 20% for "Ive heard of you"
[00:54:55] <robinsz> no one gets 50% ;)
[00:55:14] <renesis> cmon if zombie hendrix showed up you guys would 50% him
[00:55:28] <robinsz> we dont make a left handed amp though ...
[00:55:38] <renesis> ive never really consider him plus digital effects
[00:55:43] <robinsz> nope
[00:55:46] <renesis> dude hell just run it upside down itll be fine
[00:56:02] <robinsz> but axefx is very very good for real amp sounds
[00:56:14] <robinsz> Lifeson is using it now
[00:56:56] <PetefromTn_> THE Lifeson?
[00:57:02] <renesis> yeah, not a rush head
[00:57:09] <robinsz> and most AxeFX users buy our amps
[00:57:13] <PetefromTn_> Oh I am LOL....

[00:57:39] <PetefromTn_> I'm sorry that you have no taste ;)
[00:57:57] <robinsz> right ... bedtime for me
[00:58:03] <renesis> if i had budget for an active speaker prototype rig, which i dont, id prob use matrix amps
[00:58:12] <renesis> kk nite
[00:58:23] <robinsz> well, hit me up for b stock ;)
[00:58:26] <robinsz> nite

[01:01:59] <renesis> heh, guitarists at a place i worked were like MATRIX AMPS SO BRIGHT SO SPRINGY GREAT RESPONSE SO MAGIC
[01:02:59] <renesis> we measured them, totally normal amps, was great. the shit guitarists are used to is pretty sad, heh
[01:04:02] amnesic is now known as amnesic_away
[01:07:59] <furrywolf> I've found speakers make far, far, far more of a difference than amps, unless you're talking the cheapest crap or anything with STK chips.
[01:08:13] <MacGalempsy> renesis: i mentioned my dad had been picking up tube radios and record players. He will not stop with how good the 1940s radios sound. somewhere the art of sound has been lost

[01:15:31] <renesis> they didnt even know how to tune low frequency response back then =(
[01:16:56] <renesis> macgalempsy: i have an older friend who is an electronic engineer, audio specialized since the 70s, very knowledgable but also very subjective about his likes and dislikes
[01:17:30] <renesis> anyway, he says his first pair of headphones when he was a kid in iran, has never heard as good a pair of headphones since
[01:18:49] <CaptHindsight> his ears also probably haven't worked as well since then
[01:18:54] <furrywolf> the best headphones I've heard were a pair of older full-ear-covering Koss ones. probably not the best out there, but better than average.
[01:19:14] <renesis> yeah that may actually be true
[01:19:29] <renesis> because truly good modern headphones didnt happen until he was in his 30s
[01:19:49] <furrywolf> (oldering being '80s, not super old)
[01:19:49] <renesis> furrywolf: headphones are pretty personal
[01:19:51] <furrywolf> older
[01:19:53] <CaptHindsight> I have worked with a lot of well know audio people over the years
[01:20:21] <renesis> peoples opinions dont correlates with measurements as clearly as with loudspeakers
[01:20:37] <CaptHindsight> we would often have conversations about distortion you can measure and "distortion" only some people can hear :)
[01:20:46] <renesis> also their is the issue of measurement, since you have to load up the front side of the headphone cup correctly
[01:21:05] <renesis> and everyones ear loads the headsphones differently, so they dont even sound the same one person to the next
[01:21:31] <CaptHindsight> but as far as the good ol days from the 60's and earlier when you refurb that old equipment you find that it's what people remember hearing it sounded like vs what it really sounds like

[02:42:40] <Praesmeodymium> I just looked up r200 resistors they are .2
[02:43:30] <Wolf_> err crap
[02:46:02] <Contract_Pilot> From the size they look like 1-2 watt that circuit it P(W) Resistor = I(A) Rectifiet × V(V) Capacitor
[02:46:28] <Contract_Pilot> Reason for 2 is to increase watts of the circuit. '
[02:46:44] <Wolf_> yep, around a 6432 metric pack
[02:47:45] <Contract_Pilot> Whats the Voltage of C32?
[02:48:24] <Contract_Pilot> Cannot tell if it is connected to the restitors in the photo
[02:51:16] <Contract_Pilot> You can use a standard thru hole resistor keep leads short

[02:58:37] <Contract_Pilot> Without seening details of the circuit idd just stick with .1 ohm got with more wats than 1-2
[02:59:26] <Praesmeodymium> how many volts and amps?
[03:00:57] <Contract_Pilot> that circuit should have 8 watts 4 Min
[03:01:04] <Wolf_> pair resistors look to start at the 250V cap and go to the under side trace, via to the other two resistors and the white motor lead
[03:01:34] <Praesmeodymium> I realized I was looking at the wrong calulator 40 feet of 14g fo .1 ohm
[03:02:07] <Praesmeodymium> sounds like an inductor pretty quickly
[03:03:13] <Contract_Pilot> What componant blew to cause the damage on the heat sink?
[03:03:16] <Wolf_> twist some 28awg kanthal wire together? lol
[03:03:25] <Wolf_> just a trace
[03:04:03] <Wolf_> the pot hit the heatsink, I think caused a arc from the bottom trace

[03:16:33] <Contract_Pilot> Yea, if you vaped a trace.
[03:17:00] <Contract_Pilot> Now what did you hook up wrong?
[03:17:31] <Wolf_> only thing wrong is the resistor
[03:18:11] <Contract_Pilot> Ok, I would not stuff that 5hom in there.
[03:18:11] <Wolf_> vaped traces were easy to follow, pretty deep grove left over lol
[03:18:29] <Contract_Pilot> Lots of current to Vape a trace.
[03:19:07] <Wolf_> wonder if the e-cig wire would work for temp resistor lol
[03:19:25] <Wolf_> they handle 27W @ 3.7v lol
[03:19:28] <Contract_Pilot> You would just be making a wire wound resistor.

[03:21:52] <Wolf_> e-cig typical build use to be 0.5ohm 7wrap coils :)
[03:22:25] <Contract_Pilot> make a .1 ohm and try why not you alreay vaped the trace.
[03:22:51] <Wolf_> that was a low current trace that got vaped
[03:23:00] <Contract_Pilot> Yea,
[03:23:30] <Wolf_> guess the pot short caused the caps to dump
[03:23:37] <Contract_Pilot> Be sure to use ciramic to insulate it or will become a heating coil
[03:24:15] <Contract_Pilot> Do you have a DMM?

[03:26:07] <Contract_Pilot> My scope is in the attic
[03:26:54] <Contract_Pilot> Check how many amps if going from pad to pad.
[03:27:11] <Wolf_> oo hmm
[03:27:35] <Contract_Pilot> Also check the voltage of both sides.
[03:28:02] <Contract_Pilot> you may be able to just jumper it
[03:28:50] <Contract_Pilot> Data sheet for the 78L05 if it is on the + side it may be just a protection circuit.
[03:29:00] <Contract_Pilot> 70L15
[03:30:22] <Contract_Pilot> but if they are using the resistors to make it an adjustable output you need .1ohm

[08:57:16] <Contract_Pilot> I in wa it is legal here but i do not partake
[08:57:22] <Contract_Pilot> 3"
[08:57:34] <Contract_Pilot> maybe 2.5"
[08:57:43] <Contract_Pilot> depends on how many cutters
[08:57:45] <MacGalempsy> I was thinking this 4" 8-insert would be a nice addition

[08:57:58] <SpeedEvil> And I guess the speed?
[08:57:59] <MacGalempsy> guess the cut just needs to be small
[08:58:08] <Contract_Pilot> and slow
[08:58:22] <MacGalempsy> max rpm is 5000, so I tihnk like 700-800 would be ok?
[08:58:22] <SpeedEvil> Gearing and rigidity I guess.

[08:58:32] <Contract_Pilot> Looks like i may need to build a colum riser on this sherline
[08:58:33] <SpeedEvil> MacGalempsy: Is it a geared spindle?
[08:58:42] <MacGalempsy> no AC 30amp
[08:58:50] <SpeedEvil> MacGalempsy: because if it's not, you may have much, much less horsepower at 700rpm
[08:59:14] <MacGalempsy> well, it maybe geared because the motor is offset from the spindle
[08:59:17] <SpeedEvil> Is there a lower RPM limit if your machine is rigid enough? Can you cut at 1RPM?
[08:59:24] <SpeedEvil> MacGalempsy: I mean adjustably geared
[08:59:42] <MacGalempsy> no adjustable gear, just vfd
[09:00:10] <SpeedEvil> Then yeah - you've not got 2hp@700RPM

[14:19:32] <_abc_> Hello. Has anyone got info on brake resistor control / similar setups for vfd controlling spindle motor?
[14:19:57] <_abc_> I am looking for diy info, not for a proper vfd's brake resistor.
[14:19:59] -!- md-2 has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[14:20:42] <_abc_> Also how do you people handle smpsus for spindle powering which do not 'like' increasing voltage at output and enter shutdown mode as soon as they see a few volts more than the usual 28 or 36 or 48 output they are set for.
[14:21:40] <ganzuul> Oh you mean during use. Yeah, I've been keeping a 45 degree angle from it.
[14:24:46] <Sync> _abc_: decrease accel ramps or add more capacitance
[14:25:08] <Sync> usually vfds just kick the fet in if the voltage is over a certain threshold
[14:25:22] <SpeedEvil> _abc_: An external clamp could work
[14:25:37] <SpeedEvil> _abc_: shunt regulator controller, large resistor, FET
[14:25:39] <_abc_> SpeedEvil: clamps are not as simple as you think
[14:25:47] <SpeedEvil> yes they are.
[14:25:55] <SpeedEvil> I diddn't say it was very simple.
[14:26:23] <SpeedEvil> Ideally a PWM shunt regulator, though I don't know where to get a proper one.
[14:26:29] <SpeedEvil> (I have one based on a 555)
[14:26:33] <_abc_> Sync: it's not possible because the vfd runs open loop, the motor is induction type 60krpm. So closed loop requires a speed pickup which I do not have. When the motor unloads it generates and that kicks the psu.
[14:26:52] <_abc_> Sync: UC384x
[14:26:55] <_abc_> * SpeedEvil
[14:27:09] <_abc_> guys spread your nick initials out a bit please, tab completion is hard.
[14:27:10] <SpeedEvil> _abc_: if you have spare current, the stupid solution is a parallel resistor
[14:27:39] <_abc_> SpeedEvil: I tried that. The motor goes into quadrant 3 and kicks the psu with a delta-v of 10% or so.
[14:27:53] <SpeedEvil> I mean on the DC side
[14:27:59] <_abc_> SpeedEvil: I am going to try a power diode and large cap filter bank after it to disconnect the psu from the load
[14:28:12] <_abc_> SpeedEvil: yes dc side, that's what I am on about all the time.
[14:28:36] <SpeedEvil> I mean a parallel resistor that draws current more than the absolute peak of teh negative current.
[14:28:39] <SpeedEvil> So it is always >0
[14:29:15] <_abc_> Also there is a resonant effect when the induction motor generates, it rises the dc bus, which accelerates the motor, which drops the bus, which causes the motor to be lagged by the field, then it generates again. Fun.
[14:29:47] <_abc_> SpeedEvil: It does not work that way. Time constant is in the 10s range for the 60k rpm motor, you need a huge resistor and it still causes problems.
[14:30:04] amnesic_away is now known as amnesic
[14:30:19] <SpeedEvil> It works. If you have enough power supply capacity and you can cope with the large dissipation
[14:30:21] <_abc_> The solution is to disconnect the psu from the load (but see bus oscillation above) or to use a special active clamp which I designed and simulated but have not tried out yet.
[14:30:36] <_abc_> SpeedEvil: I can't, really. I can't justify a 50W resistor.
[14:30:39] <SpeedEvil> I actually have one partially built, based around a 555.
[14:30:42] <SpeedEvil> Fair enough
[14:31:02] <SpeedEvil> - 500W PWM shunt regulator for 28.8V
[14:31:22] <_abc_> SpeedEvil: I can understand that, you're in Scotland and Winter is coming.
[14:33:58] <_abc_> Anyone else? Tried a series power Shottky diode on heatsink between balky psu and load vfd/spindle drive?

[14:38:43] <Sync> why can't you justify a 50W resistor? they come in small sizes
[14:38:53] <Sync> maybe just use a vector drive
[14:38:56] <Sync> so you can ramp down
[14:39:25] <_abc_> Are you buying me one? Vector drive does not work with such small induction motors, there is not enough feedback signal from the special core they use.

[14:41:03] <Sync> that depends on the drive, I've not have had issues with feedback

[14:41:29] <Sync> a 50W resistor is like $4 0o

[15:12:28] -!- chris_99 has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[15:12:53] <SpeedEvil> I think with a diode, a very small resistor, a power bipolar and a resistor, you can make a clamp for the DC bus,
[15:15:24] <SpeedEvil> Diode to motor in negative rail, emitter of NPN to motor-side of diode, base of NPN to other side of diode, power resistor to motor positive
[15:15:37] <SpeedEvil> small resistor across PSU to cope with base current
[15:16:44] <SpeedEvil> Motor (well, VFD) pushes current in, negative goes more negative than the input negative, emitter-base is forward biased and turns on hard, clamping the voltage through the resistor and dissipating energy till the voltage fals again
[15:17:04] -!- b_b has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[15:17:08] <SpeedEvil> you could probably do the same with a relay if you were feeling silly
[15:19:17] <pcw_home> Better to use a comparator with hysteresis to drive the clamp device
[15:19:19] <pcw_home> ( you don't want the transistor to run in the linear mode, you want it to switch fast )

[15:38:43] <SpeedEvil> pcw_home: yes - it wouldn't be running in the linear mode, because it's turned hard on by the voltage being several volts over the other rail
[15:39:40] <SpeedEvil> It only starts to turn off once the voltage approaches a volt - and that will be once most of the energy is dumped.
[15:39:44] <pcw_home> Needs a comparator
[15:39:54] <SpeedEvil> Disagree.

[15:40:51] <magnifikus> and i cannot find anything to adjust it on the machine
[15:41:39] <pcw_home> You can get away with this with MOSFETS because they dont suffer from secondary breakdown
[15:41:40] <SpeedEvil> pcw_home: you need to design it so that the gain is high enough that the load-line of the resistor has a much higher slope, so that the transistor has a much lower dynamic resistance than the resistor, and it's fine
[15:41:48] <archivist> magnifikus, machine it flat

[15:42:00] <magnifikus> hrrr
[15:42:11] <archivist> magnifikus, but first make sure its not the ways
[15:42:19] <SpeedEvil> Secondary breakdown is not an issue because it's never turned on significantly at high Vec
[15:42:36] <magnifikus> its pretty sure the linear unit under the machine

[15:42:48] Loetmichel2 is now known as Loetmichel
[15:43:03] <pcw_home> Nope /been there/done that = blown clamps if its any significant amount of power
[15:43:05] <SpeedEvil> You absolutely can't do this with a normal shunt regulator.
[15:43:15] <SpeedEvil> If you configure it as a normal shunt regulator
[15:43:30] <SpeedEvil> It only works because the diode disconnects

[15:43:47] <archivist> magnifikus, which model so I can see a picture
[15:44:45] <pcw_home> for low power maybe but VFD clamps are very high peak power = NO linear mode for Bipolars/IGBTs
[15:44:45] <SpeedEvil> pcw_home: this is not the normal shunt regulator case, which will destroy bipolars due to secondary breakdown if you do this.
[15:45:13] <SpeedEvil> The bipolar is not in linear mode, it is switched hard on and most of the load is dumped in the resistor.
[15:45:15] <pcw_home> I've done it and learned...
[15:45:34] <Loetmichel> magnifikus: get a bigger hammer to "adjust" that ;-)
[15:45:39] <pcw_home> nope that is linear mode
[15:46:16] <archivist> magnifikus, add shims under/between parts of the machine to make it flat

[15:49:29] <archivist> JT-Shop, where is my air flow meter, not seen it for years
[15:50:50] <Loetmichel> meh
[15:51:54] <Loetmichel> any tips on how to get a cheap workshop air compressor to be "water free" on the double? whithout buying a 5 times the compressor cost chilling unit?
[15:52:06] <Loetmichel> preferably with some easy to source items?
[15:52:40] <archivist> Loetmichel, or get the cheap traps to catch it
[15:53:00] <Loetmichel> maybe replacing the pipe from cylinder to tank with a looong copper pipe to cool the comressed air down and set a water trap at the tanks intake?
[15:53:39] <Loetmichel> i have to empty the tank twice a day atm. and get more than a liter of water out each time... its REALLY damp the last 2 weeks now... :-(
[15:54:01] <archivist> you can get automatic drains
[15:54:17] <magnifikus> archivist https://www.dropbox.com/s/d51dlpqm9fw04ya/2015-10-01%2017.45.25.jpg?dl=0
[15:54:25] <magnifikus> and https://www.dropbox.com/s/xtblxlcc4l9hcdd/2015-10-01%2017.45.45.jpg?dl=0
[15:54:36] <magnifikus> from left to right the y axis goes 0,5mm up
[15:54:37] <SpeedEvil> Loetmichel: are you caring abou thte automatic drain, or water free?
[15:54:48] <Loetmichel> they dont help that much, reason i get the water up the nozzle is that the whole tank gets up to 80°c when running more or less continously all day
[15:55:09] <Loetmichel> so someofthe water stays in the air until pressure is released at the nozzle
[15:55:12] <SpeedEvil> Loetmichel: you can add an intercooler loop
[15:55:25] <SpeedEvil> Loetmichel: this will also _dramatically_ increase your stored air volume.
[15:55:28] <Loetmichel> SpeedEvil: thats what i meant with "a loooong copper pipe"
[15:55:31] <SpeedEvil> ah
[15:55:40] <archivist> magnifikus, adjust as needed
[15:55:42] * SpeedEvil ponders.
[15:55:55] <SpeedEvil> Is the thermal output of a compressor > the input power.
[15:56:02] <SpeedEvil> I suspect not very much.
[15:56:11] <magnifikus> so shims is the way togo
[15:56:24] <SpeedEvil> But that long copper pipe - designed to dump the heat may work well.
[15:56:40] <SpeedEvil> You will get water condensing out in that pipe, and could then dump much of the water before it gets into the tank
[15:56:54] <Loetmichel> yeah that was the idea
[15:57:00] <SpeedEvil> Are you OK with dumping water manually, or do you want it to be automatic?
[15:57:19] <Loetmichel> if the water trap has a visible tank it can be done manually
[15:57:28] <SpeedEvil> Actually - you could probably just do it with a timer that went on for a second every 5 minuts of run
[15:57:55] <Loetmichel> atm i get called twice a day "HEEEYY, the nozzle is slputtering water on the TFTs again! DO SOMETHING!"
[15:58:15] <SpeedEvil> The stupid suggestion is to teach the person what to do :)
[15:58:42] <SpeedEvil> The very stupid hacky solution is to arrange a small controlled leak in the drain valve.
[15:58:50] <Loetmichel> SpeedEvil: i dont trust them with a wrench near a 8 bar 50 l tank ;)
[15:59:07] <SpeedEvil> This is probably not reliable long-term due to rust issues though
[15:59:11] <archivist> magnifikus, you may find just moving the screw in the mounting hols of the bars gives you the adjustment
[16:00:17] <Loetmichel> i HATE it that i have to work with home tools at the company
[16:00:21] <justanotheruser> '/win 21

[16:00:48] <Loetmichel> this cheap air compressor simply isnt up to the job of running 8 hours a day with little stops.
[16:00:55] <SpeedEvil> Nice transparent high-pressure reservoir.
[16:01:03] <SpeedEvil> (low temperature)
[16:01:11] <Loetmichel> it got SO hot that the plastic wool in the air intake muffler has molten to the cylinder head ;)
[16:01:12] <SpeedEvil> Actually - I don't know if that is OK with oil.
[16:01:32] <SpeedEvil> you want to drain the water, and pour it over the cylinder head
[16:01:41] <SpeedEvil> Actually.
[16:01:51] <SpeedEvil> Even just paid for on the electricity savings.
[16:01:59] <SpeedEvil> A proper compressor may payback _fast_
[16:02:00] <Loetmichel> to get humidity up EVEN MORE?
[16:02:25] <SpeedEvil> Decent two stage compressor will be quieter, more efficient.
[16:02:51] <SpeedEvil> 1000W savings * 8h can easily pay for itself quite rapidly
[16:03:13] <Loetmichel> SpeedEvil: tell that to my bosses wive. (accountant)... i had to moand 3 jears to get the 2keur to buy a Chinese CNC 6040 for the company
[16:03:26] <Loetmichel> -d
[16:03:30] <SpeedEvil> This one is easy for accountants.
[16:04:02] <SpeedEvil> New compressor costs $. Over the next year, new compressor will save you >$
[16:04:14] <Loetmichel> she will not be interested
[16:04:23] <SpeedEvil> Rather than arbitrary 'this is better'
[16:04:37] <Loetmichel> company is already sold to 01/01/2016
[16:04:42] <SpeedEvil> ah
[16:04:50] <Loetmichel> so she really dont care about what comes after that
[16:04:56] <SpeedEvil> Drill a small hole in the drain plug, and it's all good then
[16:06:16] <Loetmichel> <- is already searching for a new job. because of "dont like the new companys behaviour" and suspicion that bosses wife will tell them shit about the workers
[16:06:50] <SpeedEvil> Also, if you're working around it, or responsible for it if it explodes, and it's a consumer compressor, stick some bags of sand around it to contain a tank burst.
[16:07:07] <SpeedEvil> ^partially
[16:07:36] <Loetmichel> she tried tha last three years to get the few of us left to quit so she can liquidate the company against the bosses whishes.
[16:07:56] <Loetmichel> SpeedEvil: the compressor sits about 2 feet from MY feet
[16:08:06] <SpeedEvil> yeah. I'd be buying my own sand.
[16:08:07] <Loetmichel> i would not like it to explode at all ;)
[16:08:20] <SpeedEvil> And/or letting them borrow my nice compressor.
[16:09:39] <Loetmichel> its one of these (or similar) http://www.ebay.de/itm/APEX-fahrbarer-Druckluft-Kompressor-Kessel-230-V-Druckluftkompressor-2PS-/201245443759
[16:09:45] <Loetmichel> and not THAT old
[16:09:52] <Loetmichel> maybe 5 or 6 years
[16:10:28] <Loetmichel> so i dont think the tank will explode anytime soon
[16:10:34] <Loetmichel> also it doesent has much rust
[16:10:44] <Loetmichel> the water i get out of it is nearly clear ;)
[16:11:30] <Loetmichel> i could crank up the spwitch to 14 bar and let it sit outside for a charge or two, tho ;)
[16:11:47] <Loetmichel> to get that concern out of my head

[16:16:01] <ganzuul> This would be a step in that direction!

[16:17:15] <Loetmichel> dont use springs
[16:17:20] <Loetmichel> use gas lifts

[18:13:11] <ve7it> Jymmm, sorry... got a phone call.... just lots of trimming to keep things under control
[18:13:25] <furrywolf> there's lots of people around here trimming this time of year too.
[18:13:43] <Jymmm> furrywolf: OH NOES, a SCISSOR SHORTAGE =)
[18:14:05] <Jymmm> furrywolf: They better hurry up, rain is coming in
[18:14:12] <furrywolf> Jymmm: no scissor shortage... you know how stores have gum, candy, etc at the registers? a lot of stores here have scissors there too. :P
[18:14:26] <CaptHindsight> where is all this rainy bad weather?
[18:14:28] <Jymmm> furrywolf: by the cases =)
[18:14:34] <Jymmm> CaptHindsight: NorCal
[18:15:00] <fenn> heh ganzuul in that lecture video he says "cables are a huge pain in the ass, if you have a choice use a belt. only use cables as a last resort"
[18:15:04] <Jymmm> CaptHindsight: It's not "bad", just wet
[18:15:12] <CaptHindsight> we are getting out twice a year few weeks a year of nice weather
[18:16:07] <CaptHindsight> ~3 weeks in fall and again spring, otherwise is -10F and snow or 90's with 99% humidity
[18:16:08] * furrywolf realizes people not in norcal might have absolutely no idea what the scissors jokes were about
[18:16:17] <FinboySlick> furrywolf: I have a fisher very similar to that one.
[18:16:24] <FinboySlick> It drives my A7s.
[18:16:38] <Jymmm> FinboySlick: You mean fiskers ?
[18:16:51] <furrywolf> Jymmm: wrong conversation
[18:17:18] <Jymmm> ah
[18:17:37] <furrywolf> grrr. I emailed the person asking how much he wanted for the receivers, and got back "make an offer".
[18:17:40] <FinboySlick> furrywolf: It's a very clean amp.
[18:18:18] <CaptHindsight> Jymmm: did you get all your wiring done?
[18:18:23] <furrywolf> Most of those are very clean amps.
[18:18:53] <Jymmm> CaptHindsight: Not yet. Still need to get down the hill to get conduit/fittings.
[18:20:05] <Jymmm> CaptHindsight: Also delayed by wood stove / chimney sweeping =)
[18:20:24] <Jymmm> It's kinda creepy walking on a metal roof =)
[18:20:31] <CaptHindsight> ahh the smell of burnt timber
[18:21:04] <CaptHindsight> does this rain help at all with the forest fires?
[18:21:05] <Jymmm> CaptHindsight: Well, hopefully =) I've never used a wood heating stove, all new to me.
[18:21:19] <Jymmm> CaptHindsight: Oh sure,
[18:21:52] <ve7it> Jymmm, new wood stove?

[18:22:51] <CaptHindsight> Jymmm: did you figure out the transition from flex to rigid conduit?
[18:23:01] <ve7it> cool.... we burn wood here... just burn the dry stuff and chimney will stay clean
[18:23:17] <FinboySlick> furrywolf: Mine has a preamp-amp bridge, so you can bypass everything and just use it as an amp.
[18:23:27] <Jymmm> CaptHindsight: Yeah, a cluster fuck of slip and threaded fittings. it'll do =)
[18:23:54] <ve7it> i like to keep wood at least 3 years before burning it.... or at least 2 summers for drying
[18:24:00] <furrywolf> Most of those have preamp in/outs. :)
[18:24:27] <Jymmm> ve7it: Yeah, I have a couple fo cords of VERY seasoned wood, but I need to get some tarps to cover it
[18:25:03] <Jymmm> ve7it: What sucks, is there is oak, cedar, and pine, but I don't know which is which at a glance
[18:25:06] <ve7it> nothing like wood heat on a cool foggy morning
[18:26:09] <Jymmm> ve7it: As a test, I lit a log, but it smelled up the place when it smoldered a couple hours later
[18:26:43] <FinboySlick> CaptHindsight: Is memleak still looking for an encrypted voip solution? I started work on my mumble client.
[18:26:46] <ve7it> just give it a whack with the axe and give it a smell test.... those 3 woods all have very distinctive odours
[18:27:21] <Jymmm> ve7it: "whack"? What you think, I'm the neighbor kid I paid to split it all =)
[18:28:08] <Jymmm> ve7it: I just gotta watch the used of pine, or at least mix it with hotter stuff.
[18:29:47] <Jymmm> CaptHindsight: There is a Firewatch tower that you can listen to on the radio to know where fires are currently. internet and cellphone coverage is sketchy up here =)

[18:50:07] <cradek> cool, but I'd just have to store it
[18:50:32] <furrywolf> I already have about ten amps in my "need to fix" pile...
[18:51:00] <CaptHindsight> you don't have a hall of obsolete hifi devices? :)
[18:51:41] <furrywolf> two pioneer sx-828s, a pioneer sx-1010, two kenwood l-07ms, a sansui quad, a marantz 2238b (same as the one in that ad), a marantz preamp, a fisher with a blown stk, and several I'm not remembering right now. lol
[18:52:19] <furrywolf> the l-07ms are probably the first ones that I'll get fixed... 150W RMS of nice clean power.
[18:52:56] <furrywolf> clean from DC to 600khz. just in case you ever want to use them to broadcast AM radio.
[18:53:00] <t12> i inhereted a nakamichi pa-7 and some kef ref speakers
[18:53:03] <t12> its a funny amp
[18:53:28] <furrywolf> (yes, the 3db cutoff is 600khz. because kenwood could.)
[18:53:55] <Jymmm> CaptHindsight: Only ting I havne't figure out is how to tranisiton into the garage thru an exterior wall. I was going to use an elbow (with screw cover), but weather sealign with just silicone just doesn't seem right.
[18:54:00] <CaptHindsight> furrywolf: how far do you go to restore them? The caps decompose, pots, solder, copper etc oxidize,
[18:54:25] <furrywolf> did I ever use the word "restore"? I believe I said "fix" :P
[18:54:41] <CaptHindsight> fair enough
[18:55:13] <furrywolf> identify issue, repair.
[18:55:53] <CaptHindsight> Jymmm: an outdoor rated box will have a cover with gasket
[18:56:31] <Jymmm> CaptHindsight: you mean a single gang outdoor box mounted to the wall?
[18:56:50] <furrywolf> one of the sx-828s has a dc bias issue, looks like a problem in the bias voltage regulator, but that's as far as I got troubleshooting it. the other had no observable problems, but the protection relay circuit won't switch the speaker outputs on. the marantz kept taking longer and longer to turn on until one day it didn't. one of the l-07ms blows the control fuse, the other the main line fuse. sansui quad distorts on two channels. I think they're di

[18:57:55] <furrywolf> the sx-1010 is missing an output pair.
[18:58:32] <CaptHindsight> LB, LR, LF they are all L's, you just have to specify back, right, left etc
[18:58:36] <Jymmm> CaptHindsight: Yep, that's what I have. But how to you seal it (the wall) from water/weather?
[18:58:41] <furrywolf> got it from an estate sale... popped it open, and the output trannies are gone. guessing they were blown, and it was a repair started but not finished.

[18:59:14] <Jymmm> ah
[19:00:02] <furrywolf> the 1010 is a nice amp... well over 100W/channel RMS.
[19:00:28] <furrywolf> it's rated for 100W/channel, but pioneer usually underrated that part of the sx range by at least 50%.

[19:48:14] <ganzuul> Why am I reading research papers on mid-IR fiber optics when I am supposed to be designing a cable-powered articulated arm...?
[19:48:29] <furrywolf> it's rated for something like 1900A continuous, with a ~10kA short-circuit current.
[19:49:03] <furrywolf> because you want to use the losses of the optic fibers as bend sensors for the joints.

[19:52:24] <furrywolf> random question: what is the maximum voltage difference that would be acceptable to allow when tossing an ultracap bank across a battery bank? 1V?
[19:53:05] <ganzuul> Battery bank has the higher internal resistance.
[19:53:19] <furrywolf> yes. the capacitor bank has very close to nil.

[20:03:43] <ganzuul> What happens when there is a power surge?
[20:03:49] <furrywolf> ?
[20:04:11] <ganzuul> Does the cap bank dump power and immediately load the batteries?
[20:04:44] <Tom_itx> does solidworks have a 'curved path' option for extrusions?
[20:04:51] <furrywolf> I got it to provide momentary surge loads that cause the battery voltage to sag.
[20:04:53] <furrywolf> like starting large motors
[20:05:11] <furrywolf> when there's a sudden load, the capacitor will provide most of it, then recharge off the batteries.
[20:06:06] <furrywolf> I'm going to use a 250A thermal-only breaker, which will protect the wiring while allowing a few seconds of very high current for load starting.
[20:06:52] <furrywolf> I have some fast-trip magnetic ones, but they seem like a worse idea.
[20:06:55] <ganzuul> What sort of motor?
[20:07:51] <ganzuul> ...And why do they need to get up to speed very quick?
[20:09:24] <furrywolf> air compressor, air conditioner, who the hell knows. whatever I plug into my inverter.
[20:09:34] <furrywolf> and because the inverter gets pissed off when the battery voltage sags too low.

[20:15:12] <_methods> there will be 2 boxes
[20:15:14] <Tom_itx> does it matter?
[20:15:17] <Tom_itx> ok
[20:15:20] <_methods> 1 for path and one for profile
[20:15:21] <Tom_itx> i'll mess with it later on
[20:15:27] <Tom_itx> yeah
[20:15:36] <_methods> yeah sweep is good for simple paths
[20:15:38] <Tom_itx> makes sense but i haven't looked at it yet so...
[20:15:46] <_methods> if it's complicated you'll have to use loft probably

[20:16:02] <furrywolf> ganzuul: I don't know what the exact topology of the inverter is. I'm using it, not designing it.
[20:16:09] <Tom_itx> can you drop a pattern on a surface as well?
[20:16:17] <Tom_itx> or would that be considered loft?
[20:16:23] <furrywolf> It's a pair of outback gvfx3524s if you want to try getting a schematic from them and figuring it out. :P
[20:16:27] <_methods> well project a pattern?
[20:16:31] <Tom_itx> yeah
[20:16:43] <_methods> you can use project pattern i believe
[20:17:03] <Tom_itx> picture a grid looking straight on it would appear square but at the side it would be skewed
[20:17:03] <ganzuul> Buck-boost things are cheap, OtS stuff. Might take care of your voltage difference issue for you.
[20:17:31] <Tom_itx> i'll fiddle with it..
[20:17:33] <Tom_itx> thanks
[20:17:42] <furrywolf> ganzuul: if you can find me a cheap off-the-shelf buck-boost circuit that can handle 1000A at 24V, please let me know.
[20:17:52] <Tom_itx> i've done all those in smartcam but not in sw yet
[20:18:12] <Tom_itx> i figure any cad worth it's salt will have all the options...
[20:18:20] <Tom_itx> just a matter of finding them
[20:18:27] <_methods> ah to project a patter on a surface you have to do some crazy stuff
[20:18:36] <_methods> s/patter/pattern
[20:18:40] <Tom_itx> really?
[20:18:44] <_methods> yeah

[20:19:11] <Tom_itx> all i do in smartcam is draw the pattern on a layer and project it down to the surface
[20:19:25] <furrywolf> 1kW << 25kW.
[20:19:35] <Tom_itx> not something i really need now though
[20:19:37] <_methods> ok project sketch on to surface yes
[20:19:46] <furrywolf> also, chinese 1kW << 1kW.
[20:19:49] <Tom_itx> that's what i meant
[20:19:59] <_methods> ahh yeah just use project sketch
[20:20:06] <Tom_itx> gotta run for a bit
[20:20:08] <_methods> but a pattern of features is a bit more involved
[20:20:10] <furrywolf> ganzuul: I think you're not quite grasping the scale of the components here.
[20:20:30] <Tom_itx> like drawing a golf ball?
[20:20:44] <Tom_itx> i bet that would suck
[20:20:51] <_methods> that might not be too bad
[20:20:51] <ganzuul> ...You're really using 24kW?
[20:21:01] <Tom_itx> anyway.. bbl
[20:21:03] <_methods> it would be a circular array
[20:21:08] <furrywolf> ganzuul: the inverter has a 500A breaker, which is just enough for its continuous output.
[20:21:08] <_methods> kk
[20:21:54] <furrywolf> ganzuul: the inverter puts out 7.2kW continuous, something like 8kW for 30 mins, 10kW for 30 seconds, and ???kW for a few seconds to start large loads.

[21:52:10] <roycroft> that would be true, furrywolf, if the tire were perfectly sealed and the only gas egress would be through the rubber molecules themselves, which is a very minimal amount
[21:52:44] <furrywolf> if the tire isn't perfectly sealed, getting it refilled with nitrogen repeatedly would be time-consuming and expensive. :P
[21:53:05] <roycroft> i would put it to you that the vast majority of gas escape through vehicle tires (especially tubeless) is through openings that, although very small, are still orders of magnitude larger than the size of o2 and n2 molecules, and therefore graham's law would apply
[21:54:04] <roycroft> the facts are that n2 molecules, although having a higher molecular weight than o2, are actually smaller in size than o2 molecules
[21:54:42] <roycroft> and that the gaps between the polymer chains in rubber are close enough to the size of n2/o2 molecules that graham's law would not apply
[21:55:00] <roycroft> and therefore, more o2 would pass through the rubber than n2
[21:55:09] <furrywolf> I would put it to you that you won't find any study demonstrating a statistically (or at least economically) significant difference between air fill and n2 fill.
[21:55:24] <roycroft> i have a vehicle, though, that is fully inflated and has class c tires, so it's at 45psi
[21:55:29] <roycroft> and it's been sitting on jack stands for a decade
[21:55:32] <roycroft> and still holds 45psi
[21:55:44] <roycroft> that tells me that virtually no gas escapes through the rubber
[21:55:46] <furrywolf> yep. I've seen that plenty of times.
[21:55:57] <furrywolf> how about mobile homes >50 years old still with air in every tire? :P
[21:55:59] <roycroft> hence my assertion that most of the gas that escapes does so via other routes
[21:56:34] <furrywolf> they put them up on blocks when they're installed, and when they go scrap them many decades later, all the tires still have air... and no one's ever checked them.
[21:56:46] <roycroft> i'm not arguing the alleged benefits of n2 vs air in a tire
[21:57:05] <roycroft> personally, i think that's at least 90% a marketing gimmick
[21:57:20] <roycroft> i think that the tire industry has sold all the tire siping it can get away with

[21:57:45] <roycroft> but that's beside the point
[21:57:49] <furrywolf> let's charge an extra $50 to make your tires lose 0.5% less air per year!
[21:58:07] <roycroft> all i'm addressing is this notion that if you keep filling with air and only the oxygen escapes you'll end up with almost pure nitrogen in the tires over time
[21:58:24] <roycroft> i claim that if you always fill your tires with air you'll end up with air in the tires over time
[21:58:27] <furrywolf> you might note that I quite clearly emphasized IF when making that statement.
[21:58:55] <furrywolf> in fact, I typed IF in capital letters, and said "and that's a big IF".
[21:59:06] <roycroft> i don't think i saw that
[21:59:17] <roycroft> nor did i infer that you are a believer in the nitrogen snake oil
[21:59:24] <furrywolf> <furrywolf> their other feature is that, supposedly, oxygen leaks out faster than nitrogen. even IF that's true, and that's a big IF, this would result in mostly nitrogen being left in the tire anyway after it's topped up a couple times... :P
[21:59:35] <roycroft> ok
[21:59:38] <roycroft> so i did read it
[21:59:42] <roycroft> and ignored the middle bits
[21:59:45] <furrywolf> lol
[21:59:53] <malcom2073> Or if you fill up at cheap gas stations, you'll wind up with mostly water in your tires
[21:59:53] <roycroft> which is fine, because that's not what i was addressing anyway
[22:00:17] <_methods> fluid balanced tires lol
[22:00:30] <roycroft> metal tires would never go flat
[22:00:40] <furrywolf> maybe I should have more explicitly stated "assuming the unproven hypothesis of oxygen leaking faster than nitrogen to be true, this would create the hypothetical situation that..."
[22:00:41] <roycroft> and they would last a long longer than rubber ones
[22:00:54] <roycroft> i think we're in agreement, furrywolf
[22:00:57] <furrywolf> trains have metal tires. flat spots is a major issue with them. maybe the whole tire isn't flat, but parts of it are. :P

[22:08:54] <furrywolf> looks like my cap bank is stabilizing around 50ma at 13.8V... I'm assuming most of that is the power consumption of the balancing boards, although part of it is of course the cap's internal leakage.
[22:09:58] <malcom2073> That's a decent leakage
[22:10:24] <furrywolf> it has a non-trivial amount of electronics on it. in theory I can even monitor the pack status through the 4-pin plug on top.
[22:10:36] <furrywolf> I do not, however, have specs for said plug.
[22:11:30] <furrywolf> I found specs for a similar pack, and the 4-pin plug only provided temperature and a combined failure/overvoltage/etc alarm contact, which could well be all this one provides as well.
[22:12:04] <furrywolf> it has an electronic balancing system that bleeds off the highest-voltage capacitors
[22:14:06] <malcom2073> So whatcha using this for? Replacing your car battery with it?
[22:14:31] <furrywolf> no. it's way too large for that.

[22:32:16] * furrywolf waits for Contract_Pilot to open the box and find his shiny new umbrella
[22:33:08] <Contract_Pilot> 4 Motors, 4 Drivers, 48V 10A and 12V 10A PSU, for 58.70 shipped!
[22:33:38] <furrywolf> I'm happy with my Centent US-made drives. they run cool with my 9A/phase steppers and 54V supply...
[22:33:41] <Contract_Pilot> Yea, or Air Freshners or a Brick.
[22:34:19] <furrywolf> microstepping... which I'll use more of when I get my mesa board.
[22:34:24] <Contract_Pilot> Well i am not going to use my 80V 10A drives on these sherline machines
[22:34:38] <furrywolf> if I use more microsteps I lose top speed with parport.
[22:34:51] <malcom2073> lol
[22:35:15] <furrywolf> 7i76e STILL out of stock. :(
[22:35:51] <Contract_Pilot> Yea, 7i76's are out.
[22:36:46] <Computer_barf> seems like a good time to chime in and mention i love mine

[22:37:56] * furrywolf looks for something to throw at Computer_barf
[22:38:27] <malcom2073> I know where a 7i76/5i25 is sitting totally unused..... but I doubt the guy would part with it heh
[22:39:21] <furrywolf> hrmm, things within reach are some 18650s, a 30lb ultracap bank, lots of paperwork, a magic wand g-spot attachment, my laptop, and my laser printer. the paperwork and 18650s are too light, the laptop, printer, and ultracaps too heavy... :P
[22:40:19] <malcom2073> haha
[22:40:56] <t12> dang theres a chinense v-belt standard
[22:42:30] <Contract_Pilot> Now what motor do i want to use on these sherline machines!
[22:42:40] <Contract_Pilot> Spindle Motor.
[22:43:22] <furrywolf> the one they came with?
[22:43:28] <malcom2073> Get one of those water cooled 2.2kw ones
[22:43:31] <furrywolf> I'm running my fog light off the cap bank now... been going about a minute, still nice and bright...
[22:44:50] <furrywolf> so, what should I work on tonight? I can fix generators, clean the house, make phone calls, or go take the subaru for a drive to burn the bad gas that's in it.
[22:45:23] <furrywolf> or change the fuel pump in the other subaru
[22:49:41] <t12> a little ac sevo?
[22:49:56] <t12> more debugging lathe problems
[22:50:08] <t12> everything is conical .0005"/1"
[22:50:14] <t12> beds pretty level
[22:50:34] <t12> aluminum finish always seems to come out very slightly dimpled

[22:51:24] <t12> figuring either spindle is a little loose, so redoing bearing preload
[22:51:31] -!- almostworking [almostworking!~almostwor@unaffiliated/almostworking] has joined #linuxcnc
[22:51:46] <t12> or maybe something in the tool to bed stack is loose or weird but cant feel that so far

[22:51:49] <t12> guess i can indicate it
[22:52:08] <t12> or maybe since its a sheetmetal stand, the whole thing is warp wiggling a little
[22:55:10] <furrywolf> twisting the bed will do that.
[22:55:36] <furrywolf> put a good level on each end of the bed and compare
[22:56:07] <PetefromTn_> jeez man I got a work holding problem here...
[22:56:50] <furrywolf> vise grips.
[22:57:01] <PetefromTn_> meh not this time

[22:57:14] <malcom2073> Tig weld it down
[22:57:21] <PetefromTn_> a customer came into work today and brought in a turbo charger
[22:57:29] <PetefromTn_> they were working on it at home
[22:57:46] <Contract_Pilot> No markings on the motor to tell how many wats
[22:57:46] <PetefromTn_> and managed to break off two of the studs on the mount flange that hold the turbo on it.
[22:58:12] <PetefromTn_> so they asked us to try to machine the studs out and retap the mount
[22:58:19] <t12> its within half a div with a sterrett 98
[22:58:21] <PetefromTn_> but it is part of the turbo
[22:58:29] <PetefromTn_> and it is a REALLY funky shape
[22:58:40] <t12> which should be like .0025/ft
[22:58:48] <PetefromTn_> it is also taller than my kurt vise because of the roundish bits
[22:59:08] <PetefromTn_> and I need to get the flange face vertical to the spindle so I can drop a carbide endmill down thru there
[22:59:32] <t12> tackweld rod to the busted stud and turn that?
[22:59:33] <PetefromTn_> was looking at some sort of strap clamp setup but the edge of the flange is not very wide at all
[22:59:45] <PetefromTn_> they broke off flush
[22:59:52] <PetefromTn_> or slightly below
[22:59:54] <Tom_itx> we need pics
[22:59:59] <furrywolf> picture?

[23:00:16] <t12> how bigs the stud
[23:00:24] <Tom_itx> who pete?
[23:00:34] <Tom_itx> never asked him
[23:00:59] <Contract_Pilot> Wonder if i can use a treadmill motor or somthing.
