[03:00:28] <seb_kuzminsky> if the buildbot manages not to fall over for like 30 more minutes i'm gonna go smoke a cigarette
[03:00:58] <seb_kuzminsky> i've got all the wiki updates and the email all queued up, ready to go
[03:01:14] <seb_kuzminsky> i've got my asbestos underpants on
[03:01:18] <seb_kuzminsky> i'm ready to release!
[03:03:27] <skunkworks_> asbestos? you need to move to kevlar...
[03:04:27] <seb_kuzminsky> heh
[03:04:32] <seb_kuzminsky> nomex maybe
[03:05:52] <skunkworks_> Am I hearing a mumble release?
[03:07:36] <seb_kuzminsky> yep
[03:11:52] <seb_kuzminsky> so i've been trying to follow this release checklist: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseCheckList
[03:12:02] <seb_kuzminsky> who can update the www.linuxcnc.org front page? not i
[03:12:08] <seb_kuzminsky> and the irc channel topic
[03:12:34] <seb_kuzminsky> do we still care about putting, what, tarballs? on sourceforge? (i dont)
[03:16:13] <jepler> seb_kuzminsky: I don't think we did that for 2.5 at all
[03:16:51] <jepler> I think I can change the channel topics if you want me to .. but you've got about 30 seconds to say "yes"; I'm off to bed.

[15:00:20] <ssi> so what does the new TP do better than the old?
[15:00:47] <cradek> programs made up of lots of very short segments
[15:00:52] <cradek> it can run them faster
[15:01:00] <ssi> CV mode essentially?
[15:01:04] <ssi> as opposed to exact stop?
[15:01:08] <cradek> as long as they are only in xyz
[15:01:12] <ssi> gotcha
[15:01:41] <cradek> we have always had "CV" but the V can be higher for these kinds of programs with the new planner
[15:01:53] <ssi> ok
[15:01:58] <ssi> is it a lookahead thing?
[15:02:00] <cradek> I don't know where the idea of "CV" vs not "CV" came from
[15:02:48] -!- `Nerobro_ has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[15:04:04] <ssi> I feel like years ago I read that linuxcnc didn't have anything but an exact stop planner
[15:04:14] <cradek> that has never been the case
[15:04:20] -!- mhaberler has quit [Quit: mhaberler]
[15:04:23] <ssi> yeah I may be misremembering, or misunderstood at the time
[15:05:01] <cradek> we have always had blending, way back to the first days of emc1 in the 90s
[15:07:34] <skunkworks_> in effect linuxcnc went from a look ahead of 1 to a look ahead of X
[15:08:04] <cradek> but that's not true either. we blend many moves together with the NCD
[15:08:19] -!- quiqua has quit [Quit: quiqua]
[15:08:25] <pcw_home> If i understand it correctly, the old planner limited velocity so that it could
[15:08:26] <pcw_home> always do an exact stop at the end of the current move
[15:08:54] <ssi> pcw_home: yeah that's what I remember hearing
[15:08:57] <skunkworks_> pcw_home, I think *next move...
[15:09:12] <skunkworks_> but cradek would probably have a better handle on that.
[15:09:17] <pcw_home> (which might some NCD merged segments)
[15:09:47] <cradek> I don't think you can make it any simpler than: some kinds of programs made up of very short segments can now run faster.
[15:09:58] <pcw_home> :-)
[15:10:22] <cradek> questions like Is it lookahead? Is it CV? do not make it clearer, and they may validate mistaken assumptions
[15:12:37] <ssi> understandable, but "some kind of programs made up of very short segments can now run faster" is couched in very vague, CYA terms
[15:12:49] <ssi> "sometimes maybe this will be inexplicably and imperceptibly better possibly"
[15:12:52] <cradek> heh
[15:13:00] <cradek> but it's true because it's complicated
[15:13:45] <cradek> it's certainly not inexplicable or imperceptible
[15:14:10] <cradek> but it doesn't speed up all programs made of short segments, and it doesn't speed up any programs made up of long segments
[15:14:24] * cradek shrugs
[15:15:32] <cradek> I suspect most people won't notice it (unless there are new bugs) but some people who use cam to make auto-generated gcode made up of very short moves will notice their programs run faster.
[15:15:45] <ssi> can I make an assumption that it works better on short segments that are closer to colinear, obtuse angles, and not as well on short segments with more acute angles between them?
[15:16:29] <cradek> I don't think so, no
[15:16:32] <ssi> ok
[15:16:37] <ssi> I'll kindly shut up then
[15:16:44] <cradek> instead, go try it :-)
[15:17:40] <skunkworks_> it tries to go as fast as it can with the machine constraints/tolerence selected.. (while blending segements with arcs)

[15:18:04] -!- zzolo has quit [Quit: zzolo]
[15:18:16] <cradek> yes it's true the blends (for xyz only moves) are a different shape now
[15:18:24] <cradek> they're now circular
[15:18:53] <cradek> but you'd probably never notice that
[15:21:35] <ssi> and ja5 has the new TP, but ja4 doesn't?
[15:22:00] -!- Komzpa has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[15:23:43] <skunkworks_> rob gave a nice talk on what he did in the planner..
[15:23:52] <skunkworks_> ssi, did you see that?
[15:23:56] <ssi> no
[15:26:02] <skunkworks_> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ObCqXilbrA
[15:26:27] <skunkworks_> oops no
[15:27:25] <skunkworks_> ^ that was machinekit infrastruction by john
[15:27:33] <skunkworks_> here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=412N5A-N8Fc
[15:27:38] <ssi> yeah I've been wanting to watch the machinekit tasks
[15:27:39] <ssi> talks
[15:28:55] <seb_kuzminsky> cradek: oh yeah, i remember we talked about that splash screen patch
[15:28:59] olli-F5 is now known as olli-
[15:29:31] <pcw_home> Heres a puzzler: someone on the forum has endless trouble with ini/hal file parsing specifically
[15:29:33] <pcw_home> loadrt [HOSTMOT2](DRIVER) config=[HOSTMOT2](CONFIG) part
[15:29:34] <pcw_home> He says the parens and not mentioned in the docs and maybe cause a problem but the
[15:29:36] <pcw_home> hm2-servo .hal and hm2-stepper.hal example files have always had them and I've never seen a problem
[15:29:55] <skunkworks_> dos line endings?
[15:29:58] <pcw_home> parens are not mentioned
[15:30:14] <pcw_home> he says no
[15:30:24] <pcw_home> only edited with gedit
[15:31:52] <ssi> skunkworks_: thanks, this is good
[15:32:05] <seb_kuzminsky> cradek: when i fetched proposed from timeguy.com i got 0aa1630, which does not include the splash patch
[15:32:30] <seb_kuzminsky> (when i fetched just now i got 3ce952d, which does include it)
[15:32:46] <cradek> seb_kuzminsky: the evidence was gone, because when I saw you took those changes I deleted the branch (day or two ago)
[15:32:54] <cradek> seb_kuzminsky: I made a new proposed branch this morning
[15:33:10] <cradek> seb_kuzminsky: it's no big deal at all
[15:34:10] <seb_kuzminsky> git never forgets the evidence ;-)
[15:34:15] <seb_kuzminsky> agreed, no big deal
[15:34:53] <seb_kuzminsky> i'll check out the new proposed branch for 2.6.1, which should be soon, since andy pointed out i jumped the gun and didnt wait for his lathe-fanucy fix
[15:35:13] <cradek> release early, release often
[15:35:21] <seb_kuzminsky> yep :-)
[15:36:22] <seb_kuzminsky> pcw_home: i see that the [SECTION](VARIABLE) syntax is not described in the INI Configuration docs
[15:37:18] <seb_kuzminsky> it's described in the halcmd manpage: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.6/html/man/man1/halcmd.1.html#SUBSTITUTION
[15:37:23] -!- toner has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[15:37:43] <seb_kuzminsky> which sort of makes sense since it's halcmd that's reading the .hal file that has that syntax in it
[15:38:12] <seb_kuzminsky> this is not the first time all our different kinds of config files, with their different syntaxes and documentation files, have caused confusion

[15:39:55] <pcw_home> I still don't really understand his problem (since I am unable to duplicate it)
[15:41:03] <seb_kuzminsky> yeah that's strange
[15:41:26] <seb_kuzminsky> pcw_home: got a link to the forum thread?
[15:41:59] <jepler> http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/27-driver-boards/28103-firmw
[15:47:30] <pcw_home> if I was less lazy I'd have him post his HAL/INI files that he says dont work and try them here
[15:47:40] <jepler> I know there's a thing when you are using the "two pass" halfile feature, or using .tcl files as hal files, because Tcl quoting and halcmd quoting are not quite the same
[15:49:02] <jepler> y="a b" parses as two words, because Tcl only treats a quote at the beginning of a word as special
[15:49:11] <jepler> while halcmd parses it as one word
[15:50:20] <jepler> this difference ends up being more or less transparent with kernel realtime, because insmod does its own parsing when an argument contains a quote mark -- it pastes argv together with whitespace and then parses it again, or at least that's the black-box impression I have
[15:50:32] <jepler> while rtapi_app doesn't, because that's obviously nuts
[15:52:39] <pcw_home> in this case we are both using Preemt-RT but I'm not clear what linuxcnc version he is using

[15:56:49] <mozmck> regarding ssi's question about ja5 vs ja4 - wasn't ja something merged into master as well?
[15:57:14] <cradek> nope, not yet
[15:57:27] <mozmck> ok, remembered wrong then.
[15:57:37] <cradek> we wanted to, but our testing at sams showed it doesn't quite work well enough yet
[15:57:38] <mozmck> what is different in jaX?
[15:57:51] <cradek> in particular configs with missing axes (like lathes) seemed totally broken
[15:57:52] <jepler> mozmck: higher numbers are better :)
[15:58:25] <pcw_home> Dosn't that break most hal files because of pin name changes also?
[15:58:26] <cradek> the newest ja branch is rebased on the new master which includes the new tp, so ja needed a lot of rework
[15:58:34] <mozmck> :) I see.
[15:58:35] <cradek> pcw_home: yes but there's a config-updater
[15:59:21] <mozmck> what is the main change with ja - why does it exist?
[15:59:29] <pcw_home> right, think I remember Andy was working on that
[15:59:48] <jepler> mozmck: jaX is to improve linuxcnc on machines with nontrivial kinematics
[15:59:52] <cradek> the idea of joints and axes is currently muddled, which causes trouble for gantrys and lots of other nontrivkins machines
[16:00:01] <cradek> it sorts that all out
[16:00:38] <mozmck> I see. Or you mean - it will sort it all out when it works ;)
[16:01:00] <jepler> the branch has been rebased onto newer versions of linuxcnc from time to time, and that's when it gets a higher number
[16:01:01] <cradek> it also adds some glaring things that are missing in nontrivkins machines today, such as the ability to incremental jog
[16:01:39] -!- Komzpa has quit [Client Quit]
[16:03:05] <ssi> the big thing that seems missing in ja right now is the ability to switch from free to teleop mode properly
[16:03:35] <ssi> I have two gantry machines now, and both use a .axisrc chunk of python that can switch them into teleop mode automatically whenever it sees all the axes are homed
[16:03:48] <ssi> but I have no way to switch back OUT, and if I need to rehome I have to kill linuxcnc and restart
[16:07:57] -!- Komzzpa has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
[16:13:47] <cradek> what do you mean by "properly"?
[16:14:05] <ssi> well, for instance gantrykins on master had a free/world menu option
[16:14:08] <cradek> you can switch at will
[16:14:08] <ssi> but ja doesn't
[16:14:17] <ssi> and I couldn't find any hal pins to make the switch
[16:14:18] <cradek> ???
[16:14:23] <cradek> sure it does
[16:14:35] <ssi> I don't have any way to look right now

[17:11:17] <alex_joni> mainly jaX
[17:11:26] <seb_kuzminsky> me too! now all we need is a 2.7 release manager
[17:11:42] <seb_kuzminsky> jaX is not in master yet, and afaik no one is addressing the identified issues with it
[17:11:45] <ssi> haha ready to give it up already?! :D
[17:12:02] <alex_joni> ssi: one release branch is a lot of work
[17:12:05] <ssi> yeah I know
[17:12:15] <ssi> is there a list of the ja issues somewhere?
[17:12:20] <alex_joni> seb_kuzminsky: identified issues?
[17:12:23] <alex_joni> what ssi said
[17:13:47] <alex_joni> one thing I remember was a lack of checking limits (vel/accel) before a move
[17:14:05] <alex_joni> and maybe scale moves so they don't exceed limits
[17:15:41] <alex_joni> and iirc jogwheels weren't completely done (carthesian mode iirc)
[17:16:21] <ssi> I'm happy to try to get involved in ja if I can, as I have a significant investment in it with two machines running it now
[17:16:41] <ssi> but I'd have to get my bearings and find a foothold in it

[18:44:48] <cradek> yeah I think the manual says "these kinds of moves are hardly ever used"
[18:45:32] <Tom_itx> maybe for some odd gear cut?

[22:27:01] <skunkworks_> is there spi on the odroid?
[22:27:06] <seb_kuzminsky> yes
[22:28:20] <jepler> another board I was looking at, cubietruck, seems to have the ethernet connected directly to the CPU's "emac" (Embedded MAC?) block.
[22:28:36] <seb_kuzminsky> skunkworks_: http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G138745696275&tab_idx=2
[22:28:52] <CaptHindsight> yes, on the A10 cubieboard and A20 cubie2 and truck versions
[22:28:56] <jepler> as far as I can find, nobody's built a -rt kernel for either cubietruck or odroid u3
[22:29:25] <CaptHindsight> we have preempt_rt running on the A10's and A20's
[22:29:34] <jepler> CaptHindsight: how's the latency?
[22:29:35] <CaptHindsight> A10 had a xenomai port
[22:30:27] <CaptHindsight> memleak is getting back on that but last week latency was >100K with preempt_RT but last Feb we were ~80uS
[22:30:55] <CaptHindsight> so he's going back over the configs
[22:31:20] <CaptHindsight> what's more exciting is the Exynos performance
[22:32:47] <CaptHindsight> allwinner has a new A80 8 core but since they joined linaro they have ignored the open community at https://github.com/linux-sunxi/
[22:35:22] <CaptHindsight> https://www.osadl.org/Latency-plot-of-system-in-rack-9-slot.qa-latencyplot-r9s8.0.html imx.6
[22:38:54] <CaptHindsight> Exynos has no detailed open data sheets, allwinner has open data sheets on the A10 and A20, imx.6 has open data sheets
[22:39:50] <jepler> yeah, it's a pain for a hobbyist
[22:40:24] <CaptHindsight> xenomai on the allwinner A13 (same core as others) http://www.xenomai.org/pipermail/xenomai/2013-February/027801.html
[22:41:01] <jepler> xenomai doesn't make pthreads userspace software have good latency, though, does it?
[22:41:19] <jepler> I just wrote one rtapi implementation, I don't want to do another one the very next month
[22:41:46] <seb_kuzminsky> and i dont want to tackle another kernel just yet...
[22:42:12] <seb_kuzminsky> linuxcnc devs are lazy bastards
[22:43:09] <jepler> It's the only virtue we have
[22:43:30] <CaptHindsight> we either get good docs and poor performance, or no docs but good performance, or can't get parts but good performance and docs

[22:43:49] <CaptHindsight> "it'a always something"
[22:44:34] <CaptHindsight> if we get 80uS back on the A20 that will be fine with an FPGA
[22:46:04] <CaptHindsight> and with all the preempt_RT debug tools plus xenomai is going to base itself on preemot_rt and now Paolo is using xenomai source in RTAI
[22:47:20] phantom is now known as phantomD
[22:47:32] phantomD is now known as phantoxeD
[22:47:35] <jepler> yeah, though peter seems to favor 500us servo periods, so 40µs would sound better than 80µs
[22:48:35] <jepler> but of course, half as much latency always sounds twice as good
