[13:23:07] <mhaberler> hm, I'd assume Axis lloks at the HOME environment vairable so
[13:23:09] <mhaberler> export HOME=/new/dir axi

[13:30:24] <mhaberler> jthornton: looked at the axis source, I'm pretty sure this works
[13:31:17] <mhaberler> this will warp .axisrc ad .axis_preferences to the new HOME as well
[13:31:42] -!- Valen has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[13:39:15] <jepler> of course, setting HOME will influence ANY program that uses HOME for any purpose. For instance, if in your emc session you launch gedit, and gedit uses HOME for any purpose, it'll see the wrong HOME
[13:45:13] -!- Dallur has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[13:49:14] <jthornton> yea, that's not a good idea to change that
[13:49:49] <jthornton> I think what he has is one of those mill/lathe machines where he swaps back and forth
[13:49:52] <jepler> I can see where some users would desire these items to be per config-directory
[13:50:03] <jepler> I'd sure look at a patch if somebody wrote one
[13:50:33] <jepler> I just spent a few minutes looking into it and the obvious first step -- moving reading the mdi history below reading the inifile -- broke for some reason I don't immediately understand
[13:50:41] <jepler> (it appears to read the file, but no lines appear in the mdi history box)
[13:51:08] <jepler> bbl
[13:51:13] <jthornton> ok, thanks

[14:39:11] -!- skunkworks [skunkworks!447329d2@gateway/web/freenode/ip.68.115.41.210] has joined #emc-devel
[14:40:37] <jepler> imo, ~/.axisrc (user-written python to customize the gui), ~/.axis_preferences (autosaved preferences like "show program rapids") and ~/.axis_mdi_history should all be moved by the same inifile preference
[14:41:33] <mhaberler> one way is to suffix the DISPLAY/MACHINE name from the inifile to the .axis* files
[14:42:01] <mhaberler> so each config gets it own space
[14:42:08] <jepler> I'd rather that the choice be to put them in ~ or .
[14:42:28] <jepler> and I'd like to preserve the present behavior as the default for users who may prefer it
[14:43:43] <jepler> (. being the directory with the inifile; scripts/emc always changes to the directory containing the inifile and so axis starts with the config directory as the working directory)
[14:50:11] -!- qq- has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
[14:51:07] <mhaberler> I'm nearly done with the revised iocontrol toolchanger support, need to cleanup and finish docs
[14:51:09] <mhaberler> I'd be interested if http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-SgA8Z79kU is considered usefule (4:33 sales video ;-)
[14:51:19] -!- TonnyG has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[14:59:59] <skunkworks> mhaberler: one thing I came across is that I do not know that a tool change has been initiated (m6) until after the machine has moved to the tool change position. Example - I want to orient the tool while it moving to the tool change location.. if that makes sense..
[15:01:04] <mhaberler> what would you want, a HAL pin signal before moving to toolchange pos?
[15:03:10] <skunkworks> I would think that would work - Just some way to know that m6 started.
[15:04:12] <mhaberler> let me think about it a bit
[15:04:13] <mhaberler> the move is done in milltask before iocontrol notices it, but that can be fixed with an extra message
[15:05:27] <skunkworks> I can always do something in gcode - to pre-orient the spindle - but I thing it would be a benifit for other machines also... This is how it works now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KplU8hkI0AQ
[15:05:37] <skunkworks> *think
[15:07:32] <mhaberler> re. video - that would allow you to open the tool lock simultaneously with the move?
[15:08:06] <mhaberler> looks like a lock to me, maybe its what you call pre-orient
[15:08:09] <skunkworks> right
[15:08:41] <skunkworks> well - more generic i think. Like I say - just a way to know that the tool change has been initiated.
[15:08:44] <mhaberler> I see
[15:08:45] <mhaberler> how's is that operation called?
[15:10:08] <skunkworks> right now the the toolchange hal bit goes high -> goes though the spindle hal comp I wrote to orient -> then ladder does the actual change and sets the toolchanged hal bit.
[15:10:38] <mhaberler> well, I'll call it move-to-change-position or something, I think I know what you want. returning to coding mode ;-)
[15:11:37] <skunkworks> heh - thanks a lot for looking at that - I figured you already had your toolchange thinking cap on ;)
[15:12:09] <mhaberler> by now, yes - thanks to a wonderful boot camp session on this channel
[15:18:32] <mhaberler> there's a global in EMC which'd use named HAVE_TOOL_CHANGE_POSITION
[15:18:34] <mhaberler> is it ok to toggle this tentative pin only if this is set? I'd guess -yes

[16:14:42] <mhaberler> cradek: wrt v2_5_branch: what'sthe timeline?
[16:14:43] <mhaberler> I'll clarify with psha for the gladevcp todo list; IMO Pavel's latest and greatest widgets and proper lyx documentation; my wanted-feature list has a single entry currently
[16:14:45] <mhaberler> for myself, I'd like to slide in the iocontrol-v2 updated toolchanger - currently as an alternative (separate binary) but eventually replacing iocontrol
[16:15:41] <cradek> mhaberler: I'm trying to gather more information before I try making a timeline
[16:15:51] <mhaberler> ok
[16:17:20] <cradek> mhaberler: it's true a replacement io could be in the release separately. I had not thought of doing it that way.
[16:18:00] <mhaberler> it is such a massive rewrite that I rather not force it on people day one
[16:18:15] <cradek> yes that's pretty much right out, I agree
[16:18:32] <cradek> especially if it requires changes in ladder/hal
[16:19:11] <mhaberler> no ladder/hal changes. one extra nml message, some changes in task/*
[16:27:04] <mhaberler> oh I see what you mean wrt ladder changes. Well iov2 has a bug-compatible v1 mode. Still.. its a crucial component and it needs exposure

[16:34:51] <mhaberler> oh, sorry, I meant skunkworks
[16:36:52] -!- drill has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[16:37:56] <skunkworks> sure
[16:38:55] <mhaberler> skunkworks; I looked at M6 cnversion in the interpreter
[16:38:57] <mhaberler> it first stops the spindle if turning, then a potential quill up, then the moves
[16:39:34] <mhaberler> I would assume the spindle_stop should go first, then the start:change, then the rest
[16:39:51] <skunkworks> sounds good to me
[16:40:42] <mhaberler> the question is really before or after spindle stop - potential time gain vs potentially unusable ;-)
[16:43:11] <skunkworks> Honestly - I think it should be before the spindle stop - as that is the start of the tool change sequence...
[16:43:25] <mhaberler> fair enough
[16:43:32] <skunkworks> and - as you say - the most flexable.
[16:45:16] <skunkworks> or somebody said ;)

[18:26:39] <mhaberler> or near-evaportation

[18:30:09] <mhaberler> well, it should confuse all users of sim/axis_mm.ini so it would be a legit fix
[18:32:55] <skunkworks> mhaberler: that looks awesome - then normal configs would just need a loopback
[18:33:04] <mhaberler> exactly
[18:35:28] <mhaberler> I added a new canon command (START_CHANGE()) to implement this, in all the obvious places needed to get it to run including saicanon
[18:35:29] <mhaberler> are there any other incantations one needs to follow ? I could imagine the new command might break some test

[19:38:22] <Jymmm> MIME types primarily tell a web browser how to handle certain content. The mime type "application/pdf" associates a .pdf file to an application,
[19:38:51] <andypugh> Yeah, got it.
[19:39:12] <Jymmm> Thee are things like text/html, text/xml, etc
[19:39:47] <andypugh> jthornton: It occurs to me that http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html/hal_drivers.html is oddly named, and oddly linked from the http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html/ page
[19:41:41] <andypugh> It seems that it should be listed in the realtime components at the bottom, and if it does need to be listed in the HAL section then perhaps should be named "parallel port". I suspect that the current link dates back to when parport was the only hardware interface?

[19:59:26] <andypugh> So, all we need now is for EMC2 to automatically pastebin dmesg files and send a link to #emc and we will be able to answer questions before the hapless users even ask them.
[20:02:18] <jepler> shorter, but I'm pretty sure that the commandline 'curl' is not in stock ubuntu, while python+urllib is. http://pastebin.com/ZSrrQpc2
[20:02:39] <cradek> alex_joni: can you put 2.4.6 on sourceforge?
[20:03:56] <jepler> ah it can fit in 80 chars and still take stdin: curl --data-urlencode paste_code@${1--} http://pastebin.com/api_public.php; echo
[20:05:10] <cradek> haha, pick "Show: Thumbs Down" on the stupid "Ratings and Reviews"

[21:43:30] <mhaberler> using emacs for EMC source editing: I'd appreciate a .emacs donation
[21:43:52] <cradek> what specifically do you want it to do? EMC is like any other code
[21:44:27] <mhaberler> same c style settings - I'm lacking the PhD required to do the .emacs myself
[21:44:44] <cradek> the defaults for C mode are probably fine
[21:44:53] <cradek> we don't really have a standard throughout the code anyway.
[21:45:09] <mhaberler> my emacs default here is 2 chars indent
[21:45:35] <cradek> hm, that probably won't match up with much of EMC's code
[21:45:46] <mhaberler> thats why I'm asking
[21:46:14] <cradek> is that the default or did you set it that way somehow?
[21:46:21] <cradek> (I use xemacs - maybe you are using gnu emacs)
[21:46:57] <mhaberler> yes - it is configurable alongside a gazillion other options, the art is to hit the right one
[21:48:08] <mhaberler> ok, I'll sign up for CS942 - Emacs Esoterica ;-)
[21:54:16] <andypugh> There is a style guide somewhere in the source.
[21:54:28] <cradek> heh
[21:54:46] <cradek> those are always good for a little laugh, if you're feeling down
[21:55:38] <cradek> holy crap, there is one
[21:56:14] -!- Dannyboy has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[21:56:32] <cradek> it should all be replaced with 'match surrounding style when you change stuff' and 'for gods sake don't reformat stuff you don't touch, because you'll screw up revision control'

[23:14:50] <mhaberler> skunkworks: isnt really what you want an M19 spindle orientation?
[23:14:57] <mhaberler> skunkworks: isnt really what you want an M19 spindle orientation?
[23:15:04] <mhaberler> oops
[23:16:33] <andypugh> I think spindle orientation is likely to be too machine-specific to be usefully G-coded. All I can imagine it doing is taking an "orient now" pin high, and waiting for a "done" pin.
[23:18:43] <mhaberler> just imagining what you'll do:
[23:18:44] <mhaberler> take the start-change pin as start-spindle orientation signal to some angle, and release the spindle orientation together with tool-changed?
[23:24:41] <roberth_> being in Gcode can speed up your tool change so can command on say Z to change postion, or give access to postion a spindle on a lathe for exsample, for drilling/milling, where no C axis is an option
[23:27:08] -!- SWPLinux has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[23:28:24] <andypugh> roberth_: Except that the G-code can't actually position the spindle, that needs to be handled by an external mechanism and control scheme.

[23:31:11] <roberth_> where M19 carrys a postion output with it also, ie, M19 P(angle) code waits for done back from the drive, or what ever does the potion,
[23:31:56] -!- servos4ever has quit [Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.85 [SeaMonkey 2.0.11/20101206162726]]
[23:33:08] <roberth_> i know right now u can do with coustom Mcode which is what i do, on G91 G29 Z0 M119 and i get the spindle there ready on way to do change, saves quite abit of time
[23:33:42] <mhaberler> no, but the m19 could convey both angle and orientation signal to HAL pins
[23:35:03] <skunkworks> mhaberler: with your 'start-change' hal bit - I can do whatever I want. What I would do then is run that loop though my spindle comp to start the orient sequence - and then send the tool-change-ack instantly so it can start moving to the tool change location. (because I don't allow the tool-change sequence to start until the spindle is oriented)
[23:35:09] <roberth_> problem with costom Mcode a spindle M03 M04 can not cnacel that cosutom code so take s abit of PLC or hal trickery
[23:35:52] <skunkworks> (if that made sense)
[23:37:26] <skunkworks> (actually - spindle orient probably isn't right - more like spindle lock)
[23:37:31] <mhaberler> I dont get it either
[23:37:32] <mhaberler> the m6 will turn off the spindle after start.change is sent, is that too late
[23:38:30] * JT-Shop likes the "touch off to fixture" choice in 2.5 Axis :)
[23:38:48] <mhaberler> me too
[23:39:17] <skunkworks> ? I guess I don't see that as a problem. My spindle comp will handle all of that. either emc telling the spindle to shut off - or my spindle lock code. makes no difference to me.
[23:40:08] <skunkworks> the spindle lock code will also turn the spindle off in effect.
[23:40:17] <mhaberler> I see
[23:40:49] <skunkworks> I just need to know that the tool change has started. (now I don't until it is in the tool change position)
[23:42:37] <mhaberler> skunkworks: if you want to give it a spin, pull http://git.mah.priv.at/gitweb/emc2-dev.git/shortlog/refs/heads/iocontrol-v2-candidate
[23:46:05] <roberth_> skunkworks, start-change is requested on a M6 right, will you not be at change location already from the gcode? so your changer will still be waiting for spindle to postion for the arm to work, dont u want to send machine to postion in the code, while going there postion spindle? so at the M6 arm comes right in taking away the spindle postion delay?
[23:46:46] <roberth_> sorry bad habbit of watching machines all day finding ways to tweak and speed programs up lol
