[01:04:28] <Jymmm> I have never heard of this, interesting... http://www.endtimesreport.com/dead_gen.html#Electric%20Drill
[01:05:15] <os1r1s> Does anyone know of an purchasable nema23 belt reduction aparatus?
[01:05:49] <Jymmm> liposuction?
[01:06:12] <Jymmm> do you mean a smaller pulley?
[01:06:48] <os1r1s> Jymmm Yeah, a way to gear up servos for more torque (and to slow them down)
[01:07:35] <Jymmm> you can use two pulleys, one being half the size/teeth as the other.
[01:07:53] <os1r1s> Right. I meant with the brackets premade
[01:08:06] <Jymmm> pulleys have brackets?
[01:08:25] <os1r1s> No, the mount to offset the nema23 servo so that you can actually use the pulleys with a belt
[01:08:27] <malcom2073> Jymmm: My generator has a similar thing
[01:08:43] <malcom2073> similar instructions
[01:09:17] -!- Valduare has quit [Quit: Valduare]
[01:09:54] <Jymmm> os1r1s: I really think that's going to dependon your setup and what/how you are mounting them to more than pulley offsets
[01:10:16] <Jymmm> as well as shaft length
[01:11:03] <t12> i have obtained a chinese 5c chuck
[01:11:11] <t12> i wonder how terrible/not terrible it is
[01:11:51] <Jymmm> os1r1s: Do you want something like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2PC-White-Alloy-Steel-Mounting-Bracket-For-NEMA23-Stepper-Motor-professiona-57mm-/201176553971
[01:12:20] <os1r1s> Jymmm No. Like this ... http://www.cnccookbook.com/img/MillStuff/CNC/Servos/P1011008.JPG

[01:14:32] <Jymmm> os1r1s: This is 2:1 right? http://guideimg.alibaba.com/images/shop/2016/01/10/70/cnc-engraving-machine-accessories-3m-timing-pulley-belt-set-reducer-ratio-8-1-for-nema23-2-phase-stepper-motor_14743870.jpeg
[01:15:33] <os1r1s> Jymmm I think that is 8:1, but the pulleys are easy to figure out. I'm looking for the alum brackets from that picture
[01:15:42] <os1r1s> It seems it would be reasonably standard
[01:15:44] <Jymmm> os1r1s: It was a joke =)
[01:15:47] <os1r1s> :P
[01:16:40] <Jymmm> os1r1s: I have seen something like this used.... a plate with holes and bolts http://powercordlabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/mounted-motor-e1348022107386.jpg
[01:16:46] <os1r1s> Then again, I may not need to gear it down much. Everyone looks at the continuous torque on the servo as being really low.

[01:17:47] <os1r1s> PetefromTn_ I noticed your comments on Hoss's g0704 thread on cnczone. Did you have one?
[01:18:05] <PetefromTn_> no I had an RF45
[01:18:35] <os1r1s> PetefromTn_ Did you use servos or steppers?
[01:18:43] <PetefromTn_> DC servos
[01:19:12] <os1r1s> PetefromTn_ Did you use a 7i77 or the like?
[01:19:19] <PetefromTn_> you can look at my long thread over there on the Zone it is called "Finally getting started"
[01:19:28] <PetefromTn_> no unfortunately
[01:19:44] <os1r1s> Let me look
[01:19:48] <PetefromTn_> I was not aware of the 7i77 and at the time I used MACH3 GASP!!!
[01:20:09] * Jymmm waits for the "PetefromFL Movie" to be released
[01:20:15] <Sync> speaking of which, thinking about converting my 45 to belt drive
[01:20:30] <os1r1s> PetefromTn_ So they were closed loop servos?
[01:20:34] <PetefromTn_> I did a belt drive conversion on mine
[01:20:39] <os1r1s> Sync Using gear reduction?
[01:20:41] <PetefromTn_> eh not really
[01:20:43] <CaptHindsight> StraightOuttahTenn
[01:20:54] <PetefromTn_> it was DC servos with Geckos
[01:21:13] <PetefromTn_> so it was closed loop to the drive but not to the control I spose
[01:21:20] <CaptHindsight> PetefromTn_: are you far from Chattanooga?
[01:21:22] <os1r1s> PetefromTn_ I'm trying to figure out if a belt reduction is really needed
[01:21:27] <Sync> os1r1s: no
[01:21:31] <PetefromTn_> about an hour and a half
[01:21:44] <Sync> the problem is that the gearbox is really loud at max rpm
[01:21:45] <PetefromTn_> My belt drive spindle had two ranges
[01:21:50] <PetefromTn_> and I ran it with a VFD
[01:21:52] <PetefromTn_> 3hp
[01:21:57] <os1r1s> PetefromTn_ For these for example ... http://www.automationtechnologiesinc.com/products-page/nema23-m-dc-servo-motor/skewed-rotor-design-nema23-dual-shaft

[01:22:19] <os1r1s> PetefromTn_ The peak torque is 350 oz/in, but the constant is 50 oz/in
[01:22:31] <Sync> well PetefromTn_ I have a servo just sitting here for that
[01:22:39] <PetefromTn_> I had 1125 OZ in motors from them on the RF45....a bit overkill
[01:22:41] <Sync> because dem torque
[01:23:19] <os1r1s> PetefromTn_ I put that on the Z, but was planning on others for the X/Y
[01:23:27] <PetefromTn_> I only got those because I found a fellow selling three of them basically brand new for about half of what they cost from Keling at the time...
[01:24:02] <PetefromTn_> If it is an RF45 I would probably get a larger motor for the Z than a 350 unless you plan to gear it way down
[01:24:15] -!- Blumax has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[01:24:20] <PetefromTn_> I had 3-1 ratios on the Z and 2-1 ratios on the X and Y
[01:24:31] <os1r1s> PetefromTn_ This is a g0704 size. On Z I have an 1125 oz/in. On X/Y I have the 350 oz/in
[01:24:52] <os1r1s> PetefromTn_ So even with those big motors you geared it down ...
[01:24:53] <PetefromTn_> Oh then that is probably overkill LOL
[01:25:07] amnesic is now known as amnesic_away
[01:25:10] <PetefromTn_> yeah I had timing belt drives on all axes
[01:25:23] <Sync> I'll probably also add gas struts to the Z
[01:25:28] <Sync> to reduce the stickslip
[01:25:46] <PetefromTn_> I had gas struts too LOL
[01:25:49] <os1r1s> PetefromTn_ Do many people direct drive servos on these, or is it a given that you are using a belt reduction if you go with a servo?
[01:26:48] <PetefromTn_> I dunno really...The millhead on my RF45 probably weighs as much as the 0704 so I needed the power to lift that damn thing plus the belt drive and 3 phase motor etc...
[01:28:40] <PetefromTn_> when it was finished the Z would rapid at about 250 IPM pretty good

[02:15:13] <PetefromTn_> sounds good man
[02:15:27] <PetefromTn_> we will not be there until the end of march tho
[02:16:01] <PetefromTn_> assuming the house passes the home inspection and the appraisal and we actually sell our closing date is March 21
[02:16:20] <Jymmm> Really? that long?

[02:20:03] <malcom2073> Yeah, apparently there are a couple different types of generating motors, and that kind uses electromagnets for the field excitation. I suppose there is some reason for it
[02:20:17] <PetefromTn_> Jymmm honestly we requested the closing date to be that far in the future because as part of the deal we are doing a bunch of work inside the home so we needed the time to get it all done...
[02:25:27] <PetefromTn_> jdh well we may actually be there on the 23rd since we won't have a home here anymore LOL

[02:44:26] <cheetah2> to use linuxcnc do i need arduino?
[02:44:55] <Jymmm> it runs on a PC
[02:45:15] <cheetah2> i read i need a controller
[02:45:23] <cheetah2> was wondering if i could use arduino as the controller?
[02:45:31] <cheetah2> what is the most widely used controller?
[02:45:34] <CaptHindsight> PC as the controller
[02:45:49] <cheetah2> ok so what else do i need?
[02:46:04] <CaptHindsight> cheetah2: what are you controlling?
[02:46:06] <cheetah2> pc, serail breakout board, ...
[02:46:06] <Jymmm> motor drivers, motors,
[02:46:22] <cheetah2> do i need a breakout board?
[02:46:32] <Jymmm> parallel port or other I/O board, NOT arduino.
[02:47:00] <CaptHindsight> what are you controlling? what types of motors, how many etc
[02:47:04] <cradek> we can't recommend hardware without knowing what your goal is
[02:47:36] <cheetah2> oh ok
[02:47:45] <cheetah2> well can a 3 axis build any product or not?
[02:48:27] <cheetah2> im building clocks
[02:49:20] <cheetah2> how do you know when you cant build a certain part, the software tells you?
[02:49:42] <cradek> not really. a cnc control just controls the movement of the machine
[02:49:52] <cradek> how you make the machine move to cut a part is up to you
[02:49:58] <CaptHindsight> common sense to the CAM software alerting you
[02:50:06] <cradek> you probably need experience as a machinist to do this
[02:50:30] <cheetah2> i cant afford experience as a machinist
[02:50:38] <cradek> clockmaking requires cutting gears, for which you will need at least one rotary table, so no a 3 axis mill probably can't build a clock
[02:50:58] <cradek> have you cut a gear manually before?
[02:51:18] <cheetah2> im thinking ill build a cnc lathe later
[02:51:31] <Jymmm> cheetah2: Where are you from?
[02:51:36] <cheetah2> usa
[02:51:41] <Jymmm> k
[02:52:18] <cheetah2> ive seem machines where theres a lathe chuck that holds the work piece?
[02:52:18] <Jymmm> cheetah2: Do you have a budget already? any parts now?
[02:52:23] <cradek> for clock work, a cnc lathe might not be more useful than a manual lathe
[02:52:26] <trentster> howdy all
[02:52:32] <cheetah2> no i need cnc
[02:52:39] <cheetah2> i just want some advice before i buy things
[02:52:45] <cheetah2> to make it easy as possible for me
[02:52:55] <cheetah2> i know itll be hard but im ready to struggle
[02:53:31] <cradek> I suggest reading about clockmaking before you bother to learn about cnc and certainly before you start buying things
[02:53:34] <Jymmm> cheetah2: have you built clocks before?
[02:53:47] <cradek> there is a super good series on youtube about clockmaking - let me see if I can find it
[02:53:47] <trentster> Did anyone notice in the youtube tutorial I did that when the machine is running and I panned the camera onto LinuxCNC screen the toolpaths are running but there is no cone or tool showing the current location.
[02:54:09] <trentster> Is there something that needs to be configured to show this during running jobs?
[02:54:09] <Jymmm> trentster: it's shy.
[02:54:13] <cradek> trentster: I didn't see it, but you can turn the cone/tool on and off in the view menu
[02:54:27] <cheetah2> i already have stls i just need something to make the stls
[02:54:29] <cradek> trentster: also if the diameter (in the tool table) is very small you might not see it
[02:54:29] <trentster> cradek: its on permanently in the menu
[02:54:41] -!- XXCoder has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
[02:54:52] <cradek> cheetah2: unfortunately it doesn't really work that way
[02:54:55] <trentster> it shows innitially when I open linuxcnc UI for the first time and it has the demo linuxcnc code in there
[02:55:12] <cradek> check the diameter
[02:55:30] <trentster> cradek: nah it does not show at all ever, even when using 6mm or 12.7mm endmills
[02:55:35] <cheetah2> all i need is the pieces like the stls
[02:56:03] <cradek> cheetah2: his videos are really useful: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCworsKCR-Sx6R6-BnIjS2MA
[02:56:22] <trentster> cradek: yeah clickspring channel is amazing
[02:56:28] <cheetah2> i cannot see youtube its blocked in my work computers
[02:56:30] <Jymmm> cheetah2: http://www.internetmachineshop.com/
[02:56:31] <trentster> that is an Aussie
[02:56:34] <cheetah2> by the firewall
[02:56:44] <trentster> He is meticulous! and obsessive about details
[02:56:51] <cradek> cheetah2: library?
[02:56:52] <cheetah2> i just need a machine that is versatile
[02:57:36] <cradek> cheetah2: I'm trying to help you succeed at making a clock - you can't feed STL files into a cnc machine and expect to get a clock - you just can't
[02:58:29] <cheetah2> yes ok but i need the cnc machine ill worry about the clock later
[02:58:34] <cheetah2> i have many projects i want to do
[02:59:13] <Ralith> I'm researching the construction of a DIY 3-axis CNC table in 4'x8' format. I'd like to be able to use it for both routing wood (and hopefully soft metals) and plasma-cutting sheet metal (I recognize switching between these will require a certain amount of effort to swap out beds). I'd like to build something high quality and am expecting to spend ~5-8k USD in pursuit of that, based on my reading so far.
[02:59:15] <cheetah2> is linuxcnc better than say going the arduino route?
[02:59:17] -!- PetefromTn_ has quit [Quit: I'm Outta here!!]
[02:59:19] <Ralith> Can anyone recommend ...
[02:59:21] <Ralith> ... some well-regarded kits and/or plans? I've looked over cncrouterparts' kits, and they look pretty nice, but their support for plasma seems to be as of yet experimental. I've also looked at Precision Plasma LLC's site, which doesn't exactly inspire confidence, particularly regarding router use, but seems very competitively priced.
[02:59:26] <Ralith> hm, my IRC client broke that up oddly, sorry
[02:59:45] <cradek> Ralith: (it's a feature; irc has limited line length)
[03:00:05] <Ralith> cradek: I know, I installed the addon to do it, I'm just confused about why it chose to break line 2 after three words :P
[03:00:15] <cradek> ok I see that now, haha
[03:01:04] <Ralith> for further context, my expertise is mostly in software, but I'm comfortable doing my own wiring/integration, and I expect to have help from a competent amateur welder
[03:01:07] <cheetah2> i dont have a serial port. If i get one of those usb to serial would it work?
[03:02:10] <Ralith> I'd also be interested in any discussion of optimal stepper motor and motor controller selection for this usecase
[03:02:56] <cradek> cheetah2: no
[03:03:14] <cheetah2> i guess ill have to buy a whole computer?
[03:03:58] <cheetah2> do modern motherboards still have serial ports?
[03:04:01] <cradek> Ralith: I bet a 4x8' machine that can cut metal is very hard
[03:04:25] <Ralith> cradek: by 'soft metal' I mean 'aluminum, and anything else of roughly that difficulty'
[03:04:26] <cradek> cheetah2: linuxcnc doesn't generally need/use a serial port
[03:04:37] <cheetah2> really?
[03:04:40] <cheetah2> so usb?
[03:04:41] <Ralith> I've read many indications that wood routers can generally do aluminum with some effort
[03:04:46] <cradek> cheetah2: no, not usb
[03:05:04] <cheetah2> a lot of the motor kits have a serial breakout board. I thought i needed serial
[03:05:09] <Ralith> and as far as I'm concerned that's a neat bonus; my main interest is good-quality wood routing and sheet cutting
[03:05:11] <cheetah2> how do i communicate to the motor drivers then?
[03:05:14] <cradek> cheetah2: simple setups can use a parallel port. setups that need more performance use extra hardware such as a pci card
[03:05:23] <Ralith> someday I'll get a real mill for proper metalwork
[03:05:52] <cheetah2> Ralith: im looking for the same thing as you. I need to cut steel
[03:06:00] <cradek> Ralith: you might consider asking your question on the emc-users mailing list or the forum
[03:06:06] <Ralith> cheetah2: you will absolutely not be able to cut steel with an affordable large-format machine.
[03:06:20] <cheetah2> so i need a mill?
[03:06:25] <Ralith> cradek: thanks, I'll probably do that; just thought I'd start here
[03:06:28] <Ralith> cheetah2: yes.
[03:06:33] <cradek> a machine that cuts 4x8' pieces of steel would weigh 100 tons
[03:06:41] <cheetah2> ok
[03:07:44] <Jymmm> Ralith: cnczone might be a better option
[03:07:49] <cheetah2> im thinking of getting a siegx2
[03:08:03] <cheetah2> with nema 24
[03:08:12] <cheetah2> would nema 24 be enough?
[03:08:27] <Ralith> Jymmm: oh, of course
[03:08:40] <Ralith> cheetah2: NEMA 24 is a mounting interface standard.
[03:09:03] <Ralith> or something very similar anyway
[03:09:04] <cheetah2> oh
[03:09:23] <cheetah2> would any motor drivers work?
[03:09:27] <cheetah2> are they all compatible?
[03:10:09] <Ralith> cradek: as an aside, about when does a parallel port stop being a viable solution?
[03:11:09] <Ralith> cheetah2: motor drivers need to be matched to your motor and should be selected in consideration of the expected load
[03:11:10] <cradek> when it doesn't have enough inputs, enough outputs, or enough speed
[03:11:20] <Jymmm> more than three axis typically
[03:11:21] <cradek> so ... pretty quickly
[03:11:45] <Ralith> you can always just slap in another parport card for the prior two cases, no?
[03:11:46] <cradek> yes for running out of IO I agree with Jymmm - or with high microstep drives you can run out of speed easily
[03:12:09] <cradek> yes you can have as many cards as you have slots, but it doesn't fix the speed problems
[03:12:34] <Ralith> yeah; is speed capacity likely to be a serious problem for a 4x8 machine?
[03:12:46] <os1r1s> cradek That clickspring link is great. I have not seen it. Thanks.
[03:12:59] <Jymmm> Ralith: You "can", but that is typically when you've run out of I/O, at that rate, it's "simpler" just to use a mesa card with CRAPLOADS of I/O and speed
[03:13:00] <cradek> for wood you have to move pretty fast. it depends on your drives (microstep setting) and screw pitch or belt ratios
[03:13:28] <Ralith> but it's close enough to the edge that I certainly want to run the numbers before comitting one way or another, then
[03:13:38] <cradek> yes there are some great PCI/PCIe/ethernet solutions as well as EPP-based expanders that give you virtually unlimited stepping speed
[03:13:51] <Ralith> the mesa cards are the standard there, right?
[03:13:54] <cradek> lots of choices
[03:14:04] <cradek> they are a popular choice but not the only choice
[03:14:22] <Ralith> any resources you can point me at to learn more about the selection?
[03:14:24] <cradek> I have worked on retrofits with various mesa hardware and various pico hardware
[03:14:31] <Ralith> or should I just fall back on the forum
[03:14:35] <Jymmm> Ralith: No, it's not actually. a PP port card is what, $20? A mesa card is like $125. and the sheer amount of savings from all that tequilia and asprin you'll be saving will pay for itself.
[03:14:56] <cheetah2> would this work?
[03:14:57] <cheetah2> http://www.amazon.com/SainSmart-TB6600-Micro-Stepping-Stepper-Driver/dp/B00MQGSLNE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453777945&sr=8-1&keywords=stepper+driver
[03:14:58] <cradek> unfortunately I don't know of a good summary of the hardware options
[03:15:17] <Ralith> I saw a lot of references to mesa cards in the wiki/docs but I don't recall any others
[03:16:12] <Ralith> Jymmm: I meant "a large format router is, in general, close enough to exceeding parport speed limits to be a problem", but I was about to discuss price, so that's good to know too.
[03:16:13] <CaptHindsight> cheetah2: for a few $$ more you can get a much better stepper driver
[03:16:23] <Jymmm> Ralith: Mesa Cards http://www.mesanet.com/fpgacardinfo.html
[03:16:36] <cradek> cheetah2: I'm suspicious because of the cheap price, but on the face of it, seems fine, I see PUL/DIR, configurable microsteps
[03:16:36] <Ralith> Jymmm: yeah, I've browsed a bit
[03:16:41] <cheetah2> CaptHindsight: I dont see a serial port in it
[03:16:49] <cheetah2> how is the serial cable connected?
[03:16:57] <Ralith> Jymmm: the selection is a little bit overwhelming, but I figure I'll cross that bridge when I come to it
[03:17:03] <cradek> no common stepper drive uses serial connection
[03:17:04] <CaptHindsight> cheetah2: it has no serial
[03:17:20] <CaptHindsight> parallel port to stepper driver
[03:17:27] <Jymmm> Ralith: There are only two basic ones most are using with lcnc
[03:17:48] <Jymmm> Ralith: plus breakout board(s)
[03:18:09] <cheetah2> how do i connect it to the computer serial port?
[03:18:16] <CaptHindsight> Pulse and Step, so two parallel port connections per axis
[03:18:34] <cradek> huh I thought mesanet.com had a "here's what works with linuxcnc" page but I don't see it
[03:18:36] <Ralith> cheetah2: serial ports are pretty much never involved at any stage of a linuxcnc system
[03:18:41] <Ralith> cradek: they have a menu
[03:18:45] <Ralith> it contains many, many items
[03:18:47] <os1r1s> cradek Its in the store
[03:19:02] <cheetah2> ok how do i connect it to the parallel port on the computer?
[03:19:03] <Ralith> I think it just links their full anything I/O selection
[03:19:14] <os1r1s> http://store.mesanet.com
[03:19:17] <os1r1s> Top menu
[03:19:17] <Ralith> i.e. http://store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=83_85
[03:19:17] <Jymmm> http://store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=83
[03:19:22] <cradek> aha you're right! you have to go to the store first
[03:20:49] <Jymmm> Ralith: If you have a paraport, this will give you 4 axis http://www.geckodrive.com/geckodrive-step-motor-drives/g540.html
[03:21:20] <Ralith> Jymmm: yeah, its power capacity seems a bit low vs. e.g. the motors the cncrouterparts kit recommends
[03:21:30] <Ralith> gecko drives do seem pretty nice in general though!
[03:21:32] <cradek> I think the g540 is not configurable microstep, so parport will limit your speed - be sure to do your math
[03:21:49] <Jymmm> cradek: 10 microsteps (fixed)
[03:21:57] <os1r1s> The G540 + the 5i25 work nicely together
[03:22:04] <cradek> yeah bet so
[03:22:14] <CaptHindsight> cheetah2: http://www.robocnc.nl/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/RoboElectronix2_Page_3.jpg LPT breakout board to 3 axis connections
[03:22:19] <cradek> even directly has the right plug
[03:23:04] <cheetah2> can i get a usb to parallel port for my laptop?
[03:23:12] <cheetah2> or have to buy a new computer with parallel port?
[03:23:16] <Jymmm> 5i25 http://store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=55
[03:23:27] <cradek> you can not use a usb adapter
[03:23:30] <CaptHindsight> cheetah2: not with Linuxcnc since USB is not realtime
[03:23:46] <Jymmm> You can use this 5i25 http://store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=55
[03:23:57] <cheetah2> would linuxcnc be my best choice? is the arduino type of cnc better in any way?
[03:24:17] <cradek> linuxcnc is the best choice
[03:24:39] <cheetah2> ive seen some arduino projects
[03:24:52] <os1r1s> cradek linuxcnc is much more capable.
[03:24:55] <Jymmm> cheetah2: You could have the parts made for you instead... http://www.internetmachineshop.com/
[03:24:57] <os1r1s> err, cheetah2
[03:25:04] <trentster> cradek: I used an arduino prior to moving to LinuxCNC.
[03:25:18] <cradek> bet you're not the only one
[03:25:20] <trentster> LinuxCNC is the way to go in my opinion.
[03:25:38] <zeeshan|2> long live linuxcnc
[03:25:39] <cheetah2> great
[03:25:43] <trentster> there is a major learning curve - as with most things but its worthwhile longterm
[03:26:16] <cheetah2> is there something a machine with a lathe type chuck in addition to the 3 axis up down left right forward backward can do that just the 3 axis cant?
[03:26:16] <cradek> cnc is complicated, as is machine building
[03:26:36] <Jymmm> cradek: not as complicated as girls =)
[03:26:43] <zeeshan|2> just make it 10x heavier
[03:26:46] <os1r1s> trentster If you just want to use a router and do 2.5D, chilipepper and tinyg are convenient.
[03:27:58] <cheetah2> how many axes can the parallel port support?
[03:28:08] <cheetah2> would it support a lathe + mill combination machine?
[03:28:43] <cradek> possibly, if you're very careful with your IO needs
[03:29:04] <trentster> os1r1s: perhaps it works for some folks - but there are some serious limitations with arduino based controllers. limited gcode and canned cycles as well as the ability to control stuff on the fly like speeds and feeds, pause and resume from specific points as well as tons of other useful goodies.
[03:29:28] <trentster> That being said the timing pulses on the arduino is pretty impressive for a $5 controller.
[03:29:59] <cheetah2> i would need 3 outputs for the mill, 2 for for the lathe one for the rotating chuck and one for the cutting thing right?
[03:30:05] <cheetah2> for 5 outputs right?
[03:30:07] <os1r1s> trentster Agreed. I've used it for PCBs where I don't really need the more advanced features. I did use mach3 for a while on my SherTaig Mill and Sherline Lathe. Now I've converted them to linuxcnc and wish I had sooner.
[03:30:19] <trentster> I kinda like the chillipepr conecpt - but I think its not great to need an internet conenction and a web browser to have to interface and control your cnc machine.
[03:30:20] <cradek> haha shertaig
[03:30:36] <os1r1s> cradek I put a sherline motor on a taig mill :)
[03:30:45] <trentster> os1r1s: btw I have a home built "DIY Router" and mainly do 2.5d
[03:30:50] <cradek> those sherline motors with the kbic control are awesome
[03:31:12] <os1r1s> cradek Yes I interface it through the G540 to linuxcnc for spindle control. Works very nicely.
[03:31:16] <cradek> very nice speed regulation
[03:34:33] <trentster> so guys if you wouldent mind taking a look at my video at around 18:55 - you can see the Linuxcnc not showing cone or tool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swa-eX0irPg
[03:34:57] <trentster> Would love some help with this as it really bothers me!
[03:37:05] <os1r1s> trentster That is weird
[03:39:21] <trentster> I know!!
[03:41:50] <zeeshan|2> has happened to me too
[03:41:57] <zeeshan|2> when you have too many lines :P
[03:45:20] <cheetah2> is more than 3 axis really needed?

[03:49:46] <trentster> zeeshan|2: was that for me?
[03:49:52] <zeeshan|2> ya
[03:50:07] <trentster> joke? or you have seen it happen before?
[03:50:18] <zeeshan|2> ??
[03:50:20] <trentster> btw this happens regardless of gcode complexity
[03:50:28] <zeeshan|2> its no joke
[03:50:30] <zeeshan|2> it happens to me too
[03:50:33] <zeeshan|2> very rarely
[03:50:39] <zeeshan|2> when i have a lot of 3d paths
[03:50:46] <trentster> so its some kind of LinuxCNC bug then?
[03:50:58] <zeeshan|2> the cone will dissapear for a bit, and will reappear after there is a big z move.
[03:51:15] <zeeshan|2> but i keep track of proress
[03:51:20] <zeeshan|2> progress, cause the line changes colors
[03:51:23] <zeeshan|2> *color
[03:51:58] <trentster> it is not a major issue I guess - just not great for filming videos to show other folks LinuxCNC in action when there is no reference of where tool is
[03:52:16] -!- cheetah2 has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[03:53:12] <trentster> maybe I should drop into dev channel and ask them if its a known bug, and if I should log a bug report

[11:41:00] <jthornton> hmm up to 45k now was at 18k
[11:41:21] <jthornton> but that pc has never been good enough to run linuxcnc
[11:42:09] <XXCoder> run 4 glxgears

[12:31:30] <XXCoder> too much probing
[12:31:33] <XXCoder> see doctor
[12:31:39] <beikeland> is there any pros/cons to using a single pci card with two parallel ports, versus to pci cards? (if pci slots are not an issue?)
[12:32:02] <Tom_itx> i doubt it
[12:32:13] <archivist> depends on the chip set on the parallel card
[12:32:16] <XXCoder> you might have to resolve address conflict
[12:32:23] <XXCoder> not too sure on that
[12:32:53] <XXCoder> though parallel isnt complex and one card can easily handle both ports and cook dinner at same time
[12:32:59] <XXCoder> unless you buy too cheap
[12:33:19] <jthornton> lol debian wheezy you double click on a pdf and gimp opens it up
[12:33:21] <beikeland> i did buy cheap, and they didn't work, got a PCI 9865 with two ports
[12:34:24] <jthornton> zeeshan|2: yea but it was a pretty rough id so it varied by 0.005" then I bent the probe while jogging with the mpg
[12:34:43] <beikeland> just wondering if i should get another for the "to play with" setup or try to find two individual cards that also work.

[13:29:43] <_methods> jthornton: i had an issue with network shares also until i mounted the network share
[13:30:03] <_methods> eventually i added the share in fstab so i didn't have to mess with mounting it manually anymore
[13:34:31] <_methods> is the default file manager thunar?
[13:34:34] <_methods> i can never remember
[13:35:08] <_methods> whatever it is, when i tried to mount the share using the default file manager i could see the files but if i tried to open them they would just be blank
[13:36:05] <_methods> i tried to force thunar to access the smb share as guest but for some reason i don't think it was, i think it was trying to access the share as the current user
[13:36:25] <_methods> and that was causing permission issues, i believe
[13:37:05] <_methods> mounting share like this fixed the issue

[14:55:22] <_methods> servername is your servers ip or hostname
[14:55:34] <_methods> assuming you have dns configured correctly on your home network
[14:55:41] <_methods> if not just put your ip there

[14:56:58] <_methods> as an example
[14:57:13] <_methods> you need to create a mount point for the share
[14:57:51] <_methods> so mkdir /media/mountdirnameyouwant
[14:58:02] <_methods> obviously you can place the mount wherever you desire
[14:58:07] <_methods> does not need to be in media
[14:59:29] <jthornton> if I do 192.168.0.100 I have to give a password and it opens up the nas manager

[15:27:33] <MrSunshine> so it jumps around some at high accelerations/fast stops :/
[15:29:07] <Roguish> MrSunshine: like these? http://www.modernlinear.com/linear-motion-parts/
[15:30:49] <MrSunshine> yeah looks like the same typ .. its double row berings .. tho ive ground the rails myself
[15:31:18] <Roguish> ok. good use. I am the ModernLinear engineer.
[15:31:26] <MrSunshine> oh =)
[15:31:38] <Jymmm> $15-$28 each?! OUCH
[15:32:08] <MrSunshine> it all sits by its own weight only, and i guess there in lies my problem .. + flex in the guide system over to the other side of the machine putting some twist in everything when it stops hard
[15:32:41] <Jymmm> MrSunshine: how is it stopping "hard" ?
[15:33:17] <MrSunshine> to high accelerations i guess :P
[15:33:29] <Roguish> Jymmm: those prices are not really too bad. you can find comparable units for less, and for a whole lot more.
[15:33:50] <MrSunshine> mine are vxb or whatever they are called
[15:33:53] <Jymmm> MrSunshine: I know a solution ;)
[15:34:05] <MrSunshine> Jymmm: realy? :P
[15:34:27] <Roguish> MrSunshine: that's a dynamics problem. remember F = M * A
[15:34:46] <Roguish> if A is high, so is F.
[15:34:55] <MrSunshine> tho i hear something is acting up with the screws still as the sound from the ballnut changes as it moves over the screws ... and frekkin chinese screws not 100% straight =)
[15:35:16] <MrSunshine> thing is that without high accelerations stuff almost comes to a halt when taking corners etc

[15:38:21] <Roguish> no r in any equation.
[15:38:58] * Jymmm snickers
[15:39:01] <Roguish> frequency is proportional to the square root of the stiffness divided by the mass

[15:53:08] <MrSunshine> would a stepper be more prone to stalling when microstepping say 1/10 compared to 1/5 ?
[15:54:05] <pcw_home> Probably less prone to stalling (less ringing)
[15:54:31] <MrSunshine> yeah true but the torque at the given points would be less
[15:54:50] <MrSunshine> so with a big mass that moves on a high pitch lead screw i guess that could end up moving the motor? =)
[15:55:12] <Jymmm> MrSunshine: Do your drivers have mid-band compensation?
[15:55:16] <pcw_home> no, the torque is the same
[15:55:22] <MrSunshine> dont think so
[15:55:39] <Jymmm> That would help BIG TIME
[15:55:51] <pcw_home> even 256 ---> 1 has the same torque
[15:56:10] <Jymmm> MrSunshine: Geckos and OEM750's do that I'm aware of
[15:56:29] <MrSunshine> yeah but cant realy afford to buy new drivers =)
[15:56:52] <archivist> MrSunshine, a steeper (moves further) ballscrew will need more drive torque
[15:56:58] <pcw_home> microstepping does not reduce stall torque at all
[15:57:17] <Jymmm> Well, they stall, you destroy the work, buy new material, would pay for them.
[15:57:22] <MrSunshine> archivist: yeah i know =)
[15:57:54] <Jymmm> MrSunshine: what drivers do you have?
[15:57:57] <pcw_home> but it does reduce resonance so can reduce stalling
[15:58:27] <Jymmm> pcw_home: I've never seen microstepping help prevent stalling myself.
[15:58:32] <MrSunshine> Jymmm: MSD980 i think is the name of them
[15:58:49] <MrSunshine> http://www.motioncontrolproducts.com/drives/msd980-high-power-microstepping-drive.php
[15:58:54] <pcw_home> people that believe microstepping reduces torque misunderstand the isssues
[15:59:05] <archivist> reduce acceleration till is stops stalling, reduce some more to allow for cutting load and safety factor
[15:59:59] <MrSunshine> archivist: mm
[16:00:34] <archivist> watching a stepper not move at all when microstepping slowly sure tells me it lacks torque per step

[16:53:28] <Erant> I need a way of getting chips out of some of my deeper cuts. I don't really need coolant (though I'm not opposed to it). How are those $10 mist coolant blocks from eBay?
[16:53:46] <Erant> I mainly just need a sustained jet of air, I probably won't hook up the coolant for a while.
[16:56:19] <beikeland> i use a cheap 12v vacuum pump and run the exhaust over to the cutter 3 or 4mm plastic tubing. pump mountet on z axis to reduce preasure drop in tubing. works better than nothing on my plastic chips at least
[16:57:59] <Erant> Yeah, I'm trying to dig steel chips out of a pocket.
[16:58:32] <Erant> So I'm getting a compressor (need one for the shop anyway)
[16:58:34] <Jymmm> Nitrogen tank, no regulator, GUARANTEED to remove chips =)
[16:58:54] <Erant> I do have some CO2 cartridges...
[16:58:55] <ssi> ug I had to buy a nitrogen bottle and regulator recently and it was way more expensive than I'd hoped :/

[17:01:02] <Erant> Hehe, yes. I have some decent safety specs. They keep the hot metal out of the squishy bits.
[17:01:41] <Jymmm> ssi: $20 craigslist
[17:02:04] <Erant> Jymmm: I like that mist unit. Unlike the ones on eBay it has a seperate knob for coolant and air...
[17:02:25] <ssi> Jymmm: not many 1000psi nitrogen regulators on craigslist sadly :/
[17:02:59] <Jymmm> ssi: 1000 in, or 1000 out?
[17:03:03] <ssi> 1000 out
[17:03:19] <Jymmm> why even bother with a regulator?
[17:03:29] <ssi> because I need adjustability from 20-1000
[17:03:38] <ssi> for filling anything from tires to oleopneumatic struts
[17:03:48] <Jymmm> at 1000?
[17:03:52] <ssi> yeah
[17:03:57] <Erant> Damn
[17:04:02] <Jymmm> what uses a 100 much less 500?
[17:04:04] <ssi> struts with weight on wheels take quite a bit of pressure to inflate to the correct extension
[17:04:06] <Jymmm> 1000*
[17:04:25] <ssi> it takes about 350-500psi to do light airplanes, like 1500lb empty
[17:04:27] <Erant> That's a scary amount of pressure
[17:04:45] <Loetmichel2> *brrr* just refilled the car with 3 liters of Motor oil... NOW its at minimum. And the last time i did the same was last week. about a liter oil on 100km drive... seems i have to bring the Car to the mechanic. AGAIN... :-(

[17:19:45] <Loetmichel2> and it wasnt the rubber that failed
[17:20:38] <Loetmichel2> only 6 of the bolts on the split ring were tightened, the rest was missing
[17:20:42] <Loetmichel2> BAD IDEA ;)
[17:21:24] <Jymmm> Loetmichel2: nothign duct tape cant fix.
[17:22:34] <ssi> Loetmichel2: yeah aircraft wheels are two part, and the small ones like on my planes have three 1/4" bolts holding the halves together
[17:22:38] <ssi> overinflation usually makes the bolts fail

[18:23:58] <CaptHindsight> depending on outside interest I wonder how often latency issues on Intel are due to the out of band Management Engine?
[18:24:29] <Jymmm> CaptHindsight: isn't that on server boards primarily?

[20:34:16] <PetefromTn_> Hey folks
[20:35:48] <beikeland> so when using parallel port as EPP with datalines as inputs; is there any convention to add pull ups or pull downs to the data lines? Or just match whatever i want to drive them?
[20:36:36] <witnit> welp, ive done did it now. I told a manufacturer of retrofit attachments for production machinery that i was into emc linux and that i had converted some old screw machines into cnc. He popped down to see what i was all about and was very very very very excited to see these machines running on opensource code, now he wants me to build controls for his attachments.
[20:36:51] <witnit> Im not sure where this is going to take me, but it's going to be a fun ride :)
[20:37:11] <enleth> witnit: sounds great
[20:37:48] <PetefromTn_> yeah you're screwed now man hehe
[20:38:19] <Jymmm> witnit: Just watch your rates/billing, and be sure to get paid on a regular FREQUENT basis, and not just at the begining and end of project(s).
[20:39:28] <enleth> witnit: ask them if they're OK with documenting the whole process online, get a Yi Camera or two and record while tinkering with the test machines
[20:39:56] -!- jduhls has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[20:40:07] <witnit> oh yeah he was extremely concerned about me taking my knowledge elseware
[20:40:07] <enleth> even with no commentary, that would be invaluable for everyone doing retrofits, just to see someone else attempting that - and, yes, also making mistakes along the way
[20:40:18] <enleth> ah, bummer
[20:40:52] <witnit> he seemed to be a very honorable guy
[20:40:56] <enleth> well, maybe you can talk him out of this - having a good video documentation of the process is invaluable for debugging
[20:41:04] <witnit> well no, not that part
[20:41:10] <witnit> he wants it all opensource
[20:41:25] <enleth> ah, that's cool
[20:41:37] -!- jduhls has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[20:41:41] <witnit> we talked about how important it is to each of us that this unit is something anyone with ambition is free to improve
[20:42:15] <witnit> he has very forward thinking in the realms of keeping all things available to his customers for tweaking
[20:43:11] <enleth> that sounds like he'd be OK with showing the process - think about it
[20:43:58] <witnit> yes showing the process of course, but he was more concerned with me taking the work hard coding it and hiding the process than anything
[20:45:42] <Jymmm> winOh, in that case, be sure to use hardware crypto dongles that call home before it even powers up ;)
[20:45:47] <witnit> see he comes from an area where his line of work was backed into a corner by a major manufacturer and now the manufacturer with its monopoly is trying to force its customers into an even deeper grasp. he is offering an opensource alternative and is very adamant about it staying that way
[20:45:55] <Jymmm> witnit: ^^^
[20:45:56] <witnit> I think i explained that properly :)

[21:08:47] <PetefromTn_> CaptHindsight My Brother in laws son has the Everlast Tig and he LOVES it..
[21:09:08] <CaptHindsight> Jymmm: they carry some at Home depot now
[21:09:27] <PetefromTn_> His the 250DX I think it was called
[21:09:37] <witnit> the first time i ever tig welded was on 1/16th wall aluminum tubing for a robot i was building in Highschool. built two 5' tall robot frames felt like i was soldering with a sewing machine pedel :P
[21:09:43] <Jymmm> CaptHindsight: k, thought I recognised the (re)brand name
[21:09:58] <CaptHindsight> http://www.everlastgenerators.com/catalog-tig
[21:10:12] <CaptHindsight> PetefromTn_: do you know which model he got?
[21:10:15] <PetefromTn_> his is apparently an early one that had the knobs everywhere the new ones have digital stuff
[21:11:10] <PetefromTn_> http://www.amazon.com/Everlast-PowerTig-250EX-Welder-Inverter/dp/B0081BEULK I am pretty sure it is this one...
[21:11:46] <CaptHindsight> ah was looking at the next size up http://www.everlastgenerators.com/product/tig-stick/powertig-315lx
[21:12:02] <Sync> they are all the same internally
[21:12:18] <Sync> they are a mess but easy to repair
[21:12:28] <CaptHindsight> mess how so?
[21:12:51] <Sync> they are developed around parts floating around cheap in china
[21:13:01] <CaptHindsight> the usual
[21:13:10] <PetefromTn_> they are chinese machines and generally poo pooed by the blue and red crowd but many that have them love them
[21:13:11] <Sync> so they are cluttered with strange analog circuits that would make no sense everywhere else
[21:13:14] -!- tris has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
[21:13:24] <Sync> they are good machines after all
[21:13:29] <Sync> but the constuction is strange
[21:14:07] <CaptHindsight> Sync: si same power supply and IGBT but just different front panel and features?
[21:14:13] <PetefromTn_> I considered getting one pretty hard before I found my Ltec for a good price locally... I would like to have some of the features they have
[21:14:13] <CaptHindsight> si/so
[21:14:31] <Sync> they are modular
[21:14:34] <Sync> let me take some pictures
[21:14:37] <Sync> mine is open right now
[21:14:52] <CaptHindsight> it's hard to find a used Blue/Red around here that is still in decent shape
[21:15:11] <PetefromTn_> hehe I was just going to ask you if you were commenting about them from what you heard or if you actually ever used one...LOL
[21:15:11] <CaptHindsight> people run them into the ground and then want $4k for it
[21:15:50] <PetefromTn_> CaptHindsight really? There always seems to be a blue older machine on craigslist around here for under 1k
[21:15:57] <_methods> yeah i scored that ltec for $200 after i sold the other welder that i got in the bundle at teh auction
[21:16:02] <_methods> i couldn't turn that down
[21:16:35] <_methods> i ended up paying more for the foot pedal than the welder
[21:16:43] <PetefromTn_> My Ltec is a sweet machine. If I was a more accomplished Tig welder I doubt there is anything it really could not do very well.....
[21:16:59] <_methods> what are you using for shield gas on yours
[21:17:14] <PetefromTn_> just argon
[21:17:21] <_methods> 100% argon?
[21:17:31] <CaptHindsight> http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/tls/5416372600.html sort of in the area
[21:17:32] <PetefromTn_> no problems with power on this beast so no need for any Helium
[21:17:37] <PetefromTn_> yeah 100
[21:17:41] <_methods> k
[21:17:41] <CaptHindsight> Miller Syncrowave 180
[21:17:47] <_methods> i'll have to steal a tank from work lol
[21:18:05] <_methods> i still need to get a torch

[21:19:33] <_methods> that's the flex head right?
[21:19:35] <_methods> you like that?
[21:20:56] -!- sumpfralle has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]
[21:20:59] <PetefromTn_> yeah it is the flex head model. It CAN come in handy but honestly the pyrex cups and whatnot have made more difference in my ability to get into tight spots than anything else
[21:21:27] <PetefromTn_> but there are certain situations where being able to bend that handle a bit makes the impossible possiible
[21:21:54] <_methods> k i wasn't sure if i would like the flex head but maybe i'll reconsider that
[21:22:36] <CaptHindsight> http://racine.craigslist.org/tls/5369394313.html Miller Welder Maxtron 450 - $1500 450 amps @ 100 percent duty cycle,
[21:23:15] <PetefromTn_> its not real flexy. it is pretty rigid but you can bend it when you need to. it is basically a big coiled bronze or brass spring inside the head where a brass tube would be in the non flex head models.
[21:23:38] -!- jduhls has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
[21:24:09] <PetefromTn_> perhaps spring is not the correct word....it is a heavy gauge coiled tube inside the rubber that allows you to bend it a little bit yet maintain contact
[21:24:09] <Sync> PetefromTn_: I can only compare my inverter to the esab in the institute, and it works equally well
[21:24:28] <PetefromTn_> Sync I don't doubt that honestly
[21:24:38] <PetefromTn_> as I said I ALMOST bought one myself
[21:24:43] <Sync> yeah
[21:24:45] <Sync> mine was cheap, so eh
[21:24:59] <PetefromTn_> I am actually considering getting one anyway as a backup.
[21:25:09] <_methods> do you think you'd rather have a wp-9 than the 17?
[21:25:43] <PetefromTn_> I am hoping to be able to get work in Florida with the Tig and fabrication as well as continuing my CNC stuff once the machines are installed and working
[21:25:54] <t12> oh nice
[21:25:57] <PetefromTn_> honestly I have never had a 9 so I cannot say.
[21:25:58] <t12> i should try pyrex cups
[21:26:11] <PetefromTn_> t12 these work quite well
[21:26:36] <_methods> i guess i'll just get a 17
[21:26:42] <_methods> seems to be in the middle
[21:26:45] <PetefromTn_> http://i.imgur.com/CeS5fAr.jpg
[21:26:58] <t12> cup just sits on an o-ring?
[21:27:07] <t12> and it looks like a metal ring in front?

[21:29:07] <DaViruz> maybe that's the whole point
[21:29:22] <PetefromTn_> yeah absolutely it really helps
[21:29:40] <PetefromTn_> we have all three models but I mostly use the 12 fupa
[21:30:02] <PetefromTn_> the only thing that sucks is you gotta be careful with them they are a bit fragile.
[21:30:07] <PetefromTn_> I already broke two

[21:30:32] <DaViruz> i think i need to pick up a few, seems very useful
[21:30:41] <PetefromTn_> they come with a metal protection ring that helps but I mostly take it off.
[21:31:03] <PetefromTn_> If you have a number 17 torch you have to buy a kit to install the brass head to accept the cups.
[21:31:17] <PetefromTn_> I don't know about other torches
