[00:41:24] <XXCoder> sliptonic: figured it out?
[00:41:42] <sliptonic> XXCoder: Oh?
[00:42:11] <XXCoder> that home issue
[00:43:00] <sliptonic> You have my undivided attention.
[00:43:36] justanotheruser is now known as UnderCoder
[00:43:39] <XXCoder> I'm asking you lol
[00:44:30] <sliptonic> No. Not at all. I was hoping you brought a beacon of light that would illuminate the darkness for me.
[00:44:46] <XXCoder> well i might have idea on testing some stuff, no hard answer
[00:45:01] <XXCoder> check difference between command to home one axis and its auto home all
[00:45:08] <XXCoder> see if it goes too far on auto
[00:45:50] <sliptonic> Nope. Even with the Z half way down its travel, it gets the following error within half a second of starting the home seek move.
[00:46:08] <sliptonic> Solo homing, of course works wherever its at.
[00:46:14] <XXCoder> lol this sound stupid but.. is it moving in correct direction?
[00:46:15] Guest86 is now known as Loetmichel
[00:46:23] <sliptonic> Yes
[00:46:31] <XXCoder> if it moves to home and it turns wrong way it would error out not following probably
[00:46:48] <XXCoder> or reading wrong way
[00:47:02] -!- FinboySlick has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[00:47:10] UnderCoder is now known as justanotheruser
[00:47:33] <sliptonic> Thats an interesting point. I'll have to look closer. I'm 99.8% certain its moving in the same direction with both methods but the error happens so fast, I could be mistaken.
[00:48:02] <XXCoder> yeah either its coded to go wrong way, or correct direction but its set to detect motion in ither way
[00:48:09] <XXCoder> dunno, lol

[06:19:20] <archivist> long before gcmc was available I got used to doing stuff directly in gcode :)
[06:19:34] <XXCoder> I'm quite good on inkscape
[06:19:42] <XXCoder> I might use it for basic stuff
[06:20:32] <archivist> it is for mathematical shapes like my gears

[06:36:21] <roycroft> #regrexit is growing rapidly
[06:37:59] <XXCoder> whats tht channel for
[06:38:06] <roycroft> not a channel
[06:38:09] <roycroft> a twitter hashtag
[06:38:14] <XXCoder> ah
[06:38:36] <roycroft> there's a petition to redo the referendum
[06:39:14] <XXCoder> I hear its huge mess
[06:39:25] <XXCoder> usa really sucks on international news
[06:39:50] <roycroft> apparently a lot of people woke up on friday and went "holy shit! it actually passed! i didn't think my protest vote would mean anything!"
[06:40:09] <archivist> the EU needed a wake up, it got it
[06:40:30] <roycroft> not the most desirable way to effect that
[06:40:36] <roycroft> but i can't disagree that a wakeup was needed
[06:40:37] <XXCoder> few low-brain people commented on that
[06:40:42] <XXCoder> made me laugh
[06:41:17] <roycroft> david cameron's legacy - the man who destroyed the eu and broke up the uk
[06:41:34] <roycroft> that's what will happen if this doesn't get fixed
[06:41:41] <archivist> we joined the common market, we did not jojn to get bossed about and pay loads of money to keep Greece afloat
[06:41:48] <XXCoder> that the new british pm?
[06:41:59] <roycroft> that's the soon-to-be-retired pm
[06:42:09] <roycroft> archivist: the common market made a lot of sense
[06:42:14] <roycroft> the euro zero sense
[06:42:24] <roycroft> at least the uk was smart enough to stay out of the eurozone
[06:42:32] -!- wholepair has quit [Quit: Page closed]
[06:42:35] <roycroft> but the euro is still affecting the uk
[06:43:06] <roycroft> what kind of a moron devises a scheme to create a common currency without a common economic policy?
[06:43:13] <roycroft> who thought that would ever work?
[06:43:17] <XXCoder> I can't imange what it is like there, with so many countries neighbors
[06:43:20] <roycroft> and who is surprised that it didn't work?
[06:43:32] <XXCoder> here we got mexico and canadian
[06:43:34] <XXCoder> canada
[06:43:38] <roycroft> xxcoder: it's kind of like states of the us now
[06:43:44] <roycroft> sort of
[06:43:48] <XXCoder> interesting
[06:43:59] <roycroft> but it's weird
[06:44:04] <roycroft> and the uk especially weird
[06:44:11] <roycroft> the uk is not part of the shengen zone nor the eurozone
[06:44:20] <roycroft> yet the uk is affected by both
[06:44:38] <XXCoder> british leaving will effect usa
[06:44:43] <roycroft> now the city of london wants to become a city-state
[06:44:45] <XXCoder> ecomony is so interconnected now
[06:44:55] <XXCoder> *affect
[06:45:04] <roycroft> will we see a new kingdom of mercia next?
[06:45:21] <roycroft> scotland is on the way out
[06:45:28] <XXCoder> roycroft: closest thing to might happen is texas leaving here
[06:45:43] <roycroft> only days after the referendum and 59% of scots are in favor of leaving
[06:45:46] <XXCoder> the "big everything but... " texas
[06:46:11] <roycroft> northern ireland are making noises about reconciling with the irish republic
[06:46:38] <roycroft> and if the eton boys running the country keep running around like mindless twits even wales will want out
[06:47:09] <roycroft> we had a sextit once
[06:47:12] <roycroft> that didn't go so well
[06:47:21] -!- GJdan has quit [Quit: WeeChat 1.6-dev]
[06:47:35] <roycroft> i wouldn't mind a texit :)
[06:47:42] <roycroft> or a flexit
[06:48:08] <roycroft> as long as we send cruz and rubio home first
[06:48:50] <XXCoder> sex tit :P
[06:49:21] <roycroft> you know, the great unpleasntness
[06:49:28] <roycroft> unpleasantness
[06:50:10] <XXCoder> the larger part of my concern about brits leaving is that it might stall ecogical improvement programs
[06:52:54] -!- teepee has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
[06:52:54] teepee_ is now known as teepee
[06:53:16] <roycroft> if an independent scotland are able to remain in or join the eu, they might rebuild hadrian's wall
[06:53:27] <roycroft> and if they do it using roman building techniques they might get the eu to pay for it
[06:53:46] <XXCoder> whats that wall for
[06:53:56] <XXCoder> is it same reason trump wants that stupid wall?
[06:54:03] <roycroft> to keep the scots out of roman-occupied england originally
[06:54:10] <roycroft> but now it would be to keep the brits out of scotland
[06:54:55] <roycroft> but that was a joke
[06:55:09] <roycroft> in truth i don't think scotland would want any kind of formal border enforcement with england
[06:55:22] <roycroft> the opposite is not true
[06:56:36] <roycroft> archivist is exactly correct that the eu needed a wake up, but that's not why the referendum passed
[06:56:49] <roycroft> what put it over the top was racism and xenophobia
[06:57:06] <XXCoder> I heard a little bit about syrans immgrants yeah
[06:57:14] <roycroft> just as trump is bringing out the worst of the us, nigel farage did the same in the uk
[06:57:23] <XXCoder> thats why its majority of older people that voted that way?
[06:57:34] -!- Ralith has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[06:57:39] <roycroft> 75% of youth voted remain
[06:58:35] <roycroft> i don't think that racism was the primary reason for passage
[06:58:39] <roycroft> i think it's what put it over the thop
[06:58:40] <roycroft> top
[06:58:53] <roycroft> i think a lot of brits are frustrated with both the eu and their own government
[06:59:33] <roycroft> why they elected a majority tory government i do not understand, and i say that knowing what a weak leader ed milliband was
[06:59:55] <XXCoder> so much trouble
[07:00:06] <XXCoder> its always easier to go for low, like trump is doing
[07:00:07] <roycroft> yes, and it's still so unsettled
[07:00:15] <XXCoder> hatred
[07:00:16] <roycroft> and will be for a long time

[09:46:51] <jthornton> morning
[09:47:20] <Deejay> yo
[09:47:48] <XXCoder> yos'
[09:48:00] <Deejay> ^^
[09:50:10] <jthornton> windoze is starting to get annoying about 10
[09:50:44] <XXCoder> thats why I moved on
[09:51:26] <jthornton> to?
[09:51:34] <XXCoder> linux
[09:52:11] <jthornton> everything I have is linux except my solidworks computer and sw won't run on linux
[09:52:37] <XXCoder> I wonder if they are now considering moving to linux
[09:52:47] <XXCoder> win10 being forced on us
[09:53:33] <jthornton> they don't bother my xp
[09:54:03] <malcom2073> jthornton: Disable automatic updates, no more notifications
[09:54:27] <XXCoder> actually it will still annoy
[09:54:38] <malcom2073> Mine doesn't
[09:54:40] <XXCoder> windows 7 once you install certain patch it will
[09:54:51] <malcom2073> Ah heh, well I likley didn't install that patch then
[09:54:54] <malcom2073> likely*
[09:54:58] <jthornton> not true, I never allow auto updates and I get notifications 6-8 times a day now
[09:55:29] <XXCoder> microsoft rolled all of it in service pack
[09:55:35] <XXCoder> so I cant get windows 7 without it now
[09:55:37] <jthornton> maybe reinstall win7 and don't get any updates
[09:55:42] <XXCoder> thankfully I have it
[09:55:49] <XXCoder> jthornton: yeah it'd have to be
[09:56:07] <XXCoder> jthornton: I bet there is download places for service pack 1
[09:57:35] <jthornton> I think I'll toss a hard drive in and find out
[09:58:16] <malcom2073> afaik, MSDN still has SP1
[09:59:18] <malcom2073> Though I wouldn't be shocked if that disappears at some point

[12:14:32] <jdh> pretty sad to have to blow up your hoe every day
[12:15:20] * Jymmm high fives jdh
[12:16:22] <jdh> perhaps it is tine to invest in a higher class hoe
[12:17:04] <Jymmm> Blow your ho... Um isn't that what the johns do? Oh wait... JT-Shop... yeah, never mind.
[12:17:45] -!- Robh__ [Robh__!~R@97e428d3.skybroadband.com] has joined #linuxcnc
[12:18:45] <Jymmm> jdh: But he's out there in the boonies. I think he said his neighbor is 80 something. I'm thinking the hoe class is soemwhat limited.
[12:19:29] <jdh> check craigslist
[12:20:10] <Jymmm> But, could diversify... You got your hoe, back hoe, front loader...
[12:20:49] <Jymmm> Ah yes, cl... good point, but I'm not thinking cl = higher clas, though I could be wrong.
[12:22:21] <jdh> it's al relative
[12:22:40] <jdh> or out there, maybe relatives
[12:23:16] <Jymmm> just keeping it in the family huh?
[12:25:46] <JT-Shop> and it's a blow out so I can't use air to raise the axle up enough to get a bottle jack under it...
[12:27:00] <jdh> shovel?
[12:28:15] <archivist> lever under the axle to get it up a bit
[12:35:24] <jdh> rent a crane, pick it up.
[12:38:52] <archivist> he has enough tractors and toys to make a 3 leg lifting device
[12:40:56] <jdh> that doesn't sound like as much fun
[12:49:22] <archivist> I had a flat tire on a main road, stopped in a layby no jack and only an adjustable spanner, some head scratching, drove over the kerb use the spanner handle to ding under the wheel leaving the suspension on the kerb
[12:49:42] <archivist> ding/dig
[12:51:32] <archivist> some hoes can jack themselves anyway

[17:24:16] <Loetmichel> *haha* "MORE POWER"... had to use the "emergency water release port" of my washing machine because something blocked the internal pump and it was full with ~6 liters of water... aaand its plugged by old soap... luckily i got a 1200W water ped draining pump... connected.... SUUUUUCK.... PLOPP...GURGLE...-> never seen the washing machine empty SO fast ;)... (and when it was empty it was easy
[17:24:16] <Loetmichel> to remove the block in the internal pump. However the q-tip shaft managed to get into the pump and block the impeller?)

[17:27:28] <Loetmichel> gregcnc: i think there were more parts that could block the internal pump
[17:28:13] <CaptHindsight> gregcnc: you'd think that there would be a filter in front of the pump to catch things like that
[17:28:15] <Loetmichel> heard the big 1200W beast rattle a few times and then the "clang" when something shot into the stainless steel kitchen sink
[17:28:50] <gregcnc> this wasn't even a lego brick, but a walkie talkie or something. it's possible the kids threw it in when I was working on it to replace main pump bearings last fall

[20:25:56] <KreAture_> Here it is in the process of wiring up the BBB
[20:26:32] <KreAture_> the gfx performance running machinekit on the BBB was abysmal, around 1HZ update of display when the demo gcode file was loaded
[20:26:37] <XXCoder> where did you get that box
[20:26:44] <KreAture_> XXCoder Farnell
[20:26:48] <XXCoder> cool
[20:26:57] <KreAture_> Fitted it with the connectors myself
[20:27:41] <KreAture_> The grommit think on right is a "micro hdmi + usb A" to "full hdmi and usb A"
[20:27:58] <KreAture_> will have to replace that now though when moving off the BBB
[20:28:27] <KreAture_> The pulse control from the BBB is excellent but the control is just not usefull
[20:28:41] <KreAture_> and I will not fiddle with remove gui stuff, ruins the whole point of this box
[20:28:42] <KreAture_> hehe
[20:28:52] <Sync> you can probably get a nanoitx board that will work well
[20:29:46] <KreAture_> hmm
[20:29:49] <KreAture_> maybe
[20:30:01] <KreAture_> but with lpt ?
[20:30:42] <Sync> probably not, but eh, who needs an lpt anyway
[20:31:25] <KreAture_> alternatives are pricey
[20:31:45] <KreAture_> atleast with the beebox I feel I got my moneys worth
[20:32:05] <KreAture_> with a cheap fpga board to do the io, at over 100 usd I feel ripped off
[20:32:18] <Sync> you can always get a pcie slot through the m2 socket
[20:32:21] <Sync> design your own board
[20:32:34] <Sync> and realize that it is not worth the time for only $100
[20:32:43] <KreAture_> My job is design
[20:32:47] <KreAture_> hehe
[20:33:07] <KreAture_> last thing I did was a blood oxy meter for medical
[20:33:12] kalxas_ is now known as kalxas
[20:33:17] <KreAture_> and a prosthetic hand control
[20:33:35] <KreAture_> I don't do too much fpga though but we have guys for that
[20:33:47] <Sync> then design your own board for under $100
[20:33:54] <KreAture_> still, I really feel the hw should be able to do it by itself
[20:34:18] <malcom2073> KreAture_: That was my exact same complaint with the BBB
[20:34:32] <malcom2073> There's no reason it can't handle all the machine control, but the lack of UI and/or remote capability killed it
[20:34:35] <KreAture_> malcom2073 yeh it does have seperate pru
[20:34:41] <malcom2073> Two of 'em
[20:34:46] <KreAture_> and they do an awsome job
[20:34:57] <malcom2073> They do, but the linux stack kinda falls fairly short
[20:34:59] <KreAture_> but the lack of proper opengl was the killer
[20:35:11] <KreAture_> rewriting the axis system for OpenGL ES is not my cup of tea
[20:35:12] <malcom2073> After I crashed my 3d printer three or four times, I gave up on it heh
[20:35:15] <malcom2073> too much input lag
[20:35:28] <KreAture_> mm
[20:35:33] <KreAture_> Been pondering why not use the ECP dma a bit more btw

[20:36:02] <KreAture_> using some round robin scheme of buffers my trick from arm cpu's should be workable
[20:36:09] <KreAture_> would take the jitter out of the equation
[20:36:47] <malcom2073> Jitter isn't an issue on the BBB, input lag is. They're closing the control loop in a realtime (ish) space
[20:36:57] <KreAture_> You precompute the 8 output pins state and generate data at a fixed rate where the values are time slices like a waveform
[20:37:09] <KreAture_> Then simply play it off buffer by buffer
[20:37:19] <KreAture_> I am talking about lpt io or gpio
[20:37:25] <malcom2073> That's not linuxcnc anymore though, but if you get that working.... :-D
[20:37:28] <malcom2073> lemme know
[20:37:35] <KreAture_> on the stm32 I am writing a system to do just this for 3d printing
[20:37:51] <KreAture_> It worked on my tests for 32 bit width
[20:37:57] <KreAture_> That is 16 step and 16 dir pins!
[20:37:59] <malcom2073> tinyg2 is the closest atm to having something workable on the 32bit arm arduino thingie
[20:38:15] <KreAture_> It does use an entire word of the gpio bus though
[20:38:18] <malcom2073> But their development is so closed, no telling what's going on there
[20:38:23] <KreAture_> at 16 bit it uses half ofcource
[20:38:27] <KreAture_> :)
[20:38:57] <KreAture_> less important stuff runns on normal servo thread, but the important bits run on dma with cyclic buffers
[20:39:16] <KreAture_> since the pc lpt in ecp mode has similar capabilities it would be awsome to try it
[20:39:34] <PCW__> Thats been tried with a RPI though I think the guy gave up
[20:39:40] <KreAture_> apparantly not many registers to program to get the ecp port doing usefull stuff
[20:39:46] <KreAture_> hmm
[20:39:49] <KreAture_> interesting
[20:39:58] <KreAture_> on the rpi you can do it via the gpio yes
[20:40:08] <KreAture_> The trick is actually throttling the datarate
[20:40:11] <malcom2073> I think people using the RPI primarly use SPI to a fpga board don't they nowadays?
[20:40:21] <KreAture_> malcom2073 copping out!
[20:40:23] <KreAture_> lol
[20:41:29] <Sync> malcom2073: I always wonder why those projects use the arduino cancer
[20:41:48] <malcom2073> Sync: tinyg2 afaik doesn't actually use the arduino libraries, only their board
[20:42:18] <malcom2073> I figure for the same reason there aren't more than one or two actual real promising projects: Not enough interest to justify someone who knows what they're doing getting into it
[20:43:07] <KreAture_> Sync LOL
[20:43:09] <KreAture_> agreed
[20:43:10] <KreAture_> hehe
[20:43:41] <KreAture_> you have to admit though, the ammount of time and energy that has gone into arduino coding and projects would send someone to the moon
[20:44:15] <KreAture_> "poke at it untill it works" actually works when enough resources are available, albeit usually not very stable
[20:45:04] <SpeedEvil> KreAture_: Android 'rom' scene and programming even more
[20:45:16] <KreAture_> hehe
[20:45:21] <KreAture_> tru dat

[20:47:06] <KreAture_> hmm, 3.4.9 rtai ?
[20:47:19] <PCW__> doubt it
[20:47:25] <KreAture_> not very 4.4 now is it
[20:47:42] <KreAture_> is there an rtai kernel for 4.4 ?
[20:48:18] <PCW__> not sure
[20:48:23] <KreAture_> Hmm
[20:49:47] <KreAture_> What we need is a 32 or 64 bit capable mpcie board capable of bus mastering transfer like the lpt ecp mode but wider and with inputs that can be programmed for interrupts

[20:55:42] <KreAture_> I tested it on stm32 with 500000 transfers/sec giving a max pulsrate of 250000
[20:55:49] <PCW__> DMA tricks are very hardware specific
[20:55:50] <KreAture_> aka every other 0 and 1
[20:56:05] <enleth> PCW__: is there a 7i76E-like version of 7i77 available?
[20:56:10] -!- tlab [tlab!~tlab@104.235.20.44] has joined #linuxcnc
[20:56:14] <KreAture_> well, being too generic and compatible is why we don'ty have anything that works...
[20:56:17] <KreAture_> lol
[20:58:23] <alex_joni> yay Island ;)

[20:58:59] <Sync> ethernet works
[21:00:11] <KreAture_> I was very happy with my old setup though
[21:00:17] <KreAture_> it just doesn't fit the box
