[00:00:21] <andypugh> I do actually have "onboard" installed. But I can't start it without a keyboard.
[00:00:29] <andypugh> Ah, no, wait..
[00:00:54] <ReadError> ssh in
[00:00:57] <ReadError> and disable login
[00:01:06] <ReadError> theres gotta be a flag or an option in the config
[00:01:16] <ReadError> bounce X
[00:01:27] <andypugh> I am ssh-ed in. But everything happens locally.
[00:02:36] <ReadError> so wait
[00:02:39] <ReadError> why wont vnc work?
[00:03:12] <andypugh> I have an onscreen keyboard. I could click my way to /usr/bin/onboard. (Which I located using ssh)
[00:03:24] <andypugh> VNC needs a password at both ends.
[00:03:36] <tjb1> cant you type the password and then copy and paste it?
[00:03:56] <andypugh> Ubu to Ubu that might not be the case, but the Mac VNC client requires a password at the remote end.
[00:04:13] <andypugh> I have the onscreen keyboard now, so I think I am sorted

[00:05:28] <tjb1> There you go andy
[00:05:37] <tjb1> Oh nevermind, only ships to us
[00:06:34] <tjb1> I would buy it but I need to save all my money :/
[00:08:00] <andypugh> I just one-clicked the forst one.
[00:08:13] <andypugh> I have more money than I know how to spend :-)
[00:08:19] <tjb1> Lucky you

[00:08:45] <tjb1> that might have been a better choice :)
[00:11:42] <andypugh> I like the pad in the middle layout
[00:12:22] <tjb1> reviews werent too positive
[00:13:54] <andypugh> Ah well, we will see how it works out.
[00:14:01] <andypugh> Back in a bit, need to change users.

[00:33:55] <r00t4rd3d> i ordered one of these the other day, a friend has one. It actually has some metal in the design.

[00:35:47] <r00t4rd3d> "Quiet-Type Key Technology"
[00:36:47] <ReadError> order the mount yet r00t4rd3d ?
[00:37:07] <ReadError> did you get it so you can draw ?
[00:37:12] <ReadError> that was my step1
[00:37:19] <ReadError> learning touchoff and where i need to be and stuff
[00:37:33] <ReadError> took a bit to get decent
[00:37:38] <ReadError> now i dont even think about it
[00:38:18] <alex4nder> ReadError: do you have a dial test indicator?
[00:38:27] <ReadError> ya
[00:38:31] <ReadError> i used that to get my backlash
[00:38:35] <alex4nder> when you get a minute, can you measure something for me?
[00:38:50] <ReadError> im in the basement kegging
[00:38:52] <ReadError> whats up
[00:39:36] <alex4nder> so if you take the DTI, chuck it up, and then measure the table at one extreme, and then move the table to the other extreme, what's your table slant?
[00:39:46] <alex4nder> and I mean, don't sweet the indicator
[00:39:49] <alex4nder> I mean leave it where it is
[00:40:05] <alex4nder> er sweep
[00:40:41] <r00t4rd3d> ReadError, i made one
[00:40:50] <r00t4rd3d> http://www.cnczone.com/forums/diy-cnc_router_table_machines/152794-mdf_madness-3.html
[00:40:51] <r00t4rd3d> last post
[00:41:05] <ReadError> hmmm
[00:41:08] <ReadError> let me try
[00:41:12] <r00t4rd3d> its currently drying
[00:41:16] <ReadError> its got a magnetic base lets see if it can stick to the spindle
[00:41:16] <r00t4rd3d> i just painted it
[00:41:32] <alex4nder> ReadError: so I ran into a bug in axis, and crashed my running spindle into the table.
[00:41:40] <r00t4rd3d> lol
[00:41:41] <alex4nder> and it had a nice 1/2" 4 flute mounted in it. ;)
[00:41:53] <alex4nder> so I got a nice 1/2" hole in my table
[00:41:57] <r00t4rd3d> limit switches!
[00:42:04] <alex4nder> how would that have fixed my problem?
[00:42:15] <alex4nder> it had a tool in the spindle
[00:42:18] <alex4nder> and I was doing setup
[00:42:21] <r00t4rd3d> set the limit so you cant crash into the table
[00:42:56] <ReadError> hmmm
[00:43:02] <ReadError> im not sure how to mount this thing alex4nder
[00:43:07] <ReadError> it wont stick to the spindle
[00:43:10] -!- tjb1 [tjb1!~tjb1@199.sub-174-231-64.myvzw.com] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:43:12] <alex4nder> the spindle is aluminum
[00:43:12] <ReadError> let me try the z axis
[00:43:14] <r00t4rd3d> what t hing?
[00:43:16] <alex4nder> so if it's magnetic, it won't.
[00:43:19] <ReadError> ya
[00:43:26] <ReadError> i tried the thing behind it though
[00:43:31] <alex4nder> you can mount it to the column, the measurement will be the same
[00:43:34] <ReadError> the silver part the z goes up and down on
[00:43:37] <alex4nder> since I'm not measuring spindle slant.
[00:44:08] <alex4nder> r00t4rd3d: I'm not going to move my limit switches every time I stick a different length endmill into spindle.
[00:44:21] <alex4nder> maybe I'd do it with tool length, but I wasn't even there yet
[00:45:24] <alex4nder> ReadError: so I didn't measure it before I had the accident, but now I'm re-setting up the mill, and I'm seeing slant in my table
[00:45:37] <alex4nder> it might have been there all along.
[00:45:38] <ReadError> got it mounted
[00:45:41] <r00t4rd3d> my bits came with depth rings so i can keep them the same depth hopefully
[00:45:41] <ReadError> let me run it and check
[00:46:06] <alex4nder> r00t4rd3d: a limit ring only helps if all of your endmills are the same length.
[00:46:26] <alex4nder> which would limit your selection, or be really annoying to setup.
[00:46:34] <r00t4rd3d> ya i am going to stay with the same supplier
[00:46:43] <ReadError> alex4nder,
[00:46:48] <ReadError> 0.001
[00:46:52] <alex4nder> ok
[00:47:04] <alex4nder> so you just moved your table in Y, and that's the difference front-to-back?
[00:47:28] <ReadError> yea as far as i could measure
[00:47:31] <alex4nder> (I'm ignoring differences in cosine error)
[00:47:33] <alex4nder> ok
[00:47:34] <ReadError> its a bit offset
[00:47:36] <ReadError> since the mount
[00:47:54] <alex4nder> is it in-line with the Y axis though?
[00:48:04] <alex4nder> like, you're not measuring across the table
[00:48:11] <alex4nder> (diagnoal)
[00:48:14] <alex4nder> er diagonal
[00:48:34] <ReadError> im moving the long axis
[00:48:41] <ReadError> left/right keys
[00:48:45] <alex4nder> oh, no I mean front back
[00:48:55] <ReadError> that could be harder
[00:49:06] <ReadError> i can lift it up over the t slots i guess
[00:49:25] <alex4nder> it's got a round ball end right?

[00:49:34] <ReadError> yea
[00:49:43] <ReadError> i can move it up
[00:49:44] <ReadError> hold
[00:49:50] <alex4nder> oh, are you using a dial indicator?
[00:49:54] <alex4nder> or a dial test indicator
[00:50:18] <alex4nder> god, the naming of that is so bad
[00:50:45] <ReadError> its a round thing with a springy shaft
[00:50:50] <ReadError> i dont know all the proper terms
[00:50:52] <alex4nder> ah, dial indiactor
[00:51:03] <alex4nder> that's a better measurement probably
[00:51:13] <ReadError> well
[00:51:15] <ReadError> seems to be the same
[00:51:18] <ReadError> all the way across
[00:51:24] <ReadError> maybe like 0.0005 difference
[00:51:26] <alex4nder> yah
[00:51:29] <alex4nder> ok, thanks dude
[00:51:35] <ReadError> how bad is yours off?
[00:51:40] <alex4nder> like .0005
[00:51:42] <alex4nder> er .005
[00:51:45] <alex4nder> it's off
[00:52:04] <alex4nder> side to side it doesn't move my measurement device

[10:13:00] <mrsun> a higher pitch thread on the outside of a bolt with a threaded hole in the bolt with lower pitch, when screwed in, it will also screw in whats in the middle hold and you can get very low pitches of thread :P

[12:50:26] <Tom_itx> hmm
[12:50:42] <Tom_itx> ours was B i think but was something like 3' x 6'
[12:51:08] <Jymmm> Is 'B' better than 'A' ?
[12:51:20] <Tom_itx> probably not
[12:51:23] <Jymmm> k
[12:51:29] <Tom_itx> but less expensive
[12:51:32] <Tom_itx> and still flat
[12:51:41] <Jymmm> and HUGE!
[12:51:49] <Tom_itx> we made big parts
[12:51:55] <Jymmm> $80 for a stone?! YEOW http://www.woodcraft.com/Product/2004486/17791/Norton-Combination-Waterstone-10008000-Grit.aspx

[12:54:13] <Tom_itx> milled my new heatsink last night, will drill it later today
[12:54:20] <Jymmm> I was going to use utility knife blades for cutting (easy, cheap, available), but if I use planer knives instead I can cut multiple pieces at the same time. Was just seeing how sharp they really are.
[12:54:35] <Tom_itx> damn sharp
[12:55:06] <Jymmm> Which lead to sharpening videos, which lead to sharpening products.
[12:55:11] <Tom_itx> get one with an angled blade so the point contacts first and it will cut better
[12:55:32] <Tom_itx> paper cutters use a slicing motion
[12:55:45] <Jymmm> $14 from lowes for a 3.5" long pair
[12:55:49] <Tom_itx> the big ones anyway
[12:55:52] <Jymmm> Bosch I think
[12:56:15] <Tom_itx> what are you cutting?
[12:56:26] <Jymmm> plastic
[12:56:46] <Tom_itx> solid or tube?
[12:56:48] <Jymmm> can be cut with a utiliy knife razor blade
[12:57:09] <Tom_itx> make a jig to cut to length
[12:57:14] <Jymmm> Just got LOTS of them to cut =)
[12:57:17] <Tom_itx> use a single edge razor blade
[12:57:41] <Tom_itx> with a guillotine sp? type mount for the blade
[12:57:59] <Tom_itx> nice wood project for you
[12:58:01] -!- i_tarzan_ has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[12:58:03] <Jymmm> That's what I've been using, but I can only cut one at a time. thus the planer knives instead
[12:58:34] <Jymmm> and a plastic anvil
[12:58:44] <Tom_itx> or a fiskars paper cutter with the round cutter blades
[12:58:56] <Tom_itx> they're inexpensive
[12:59:04] <Jymmm> too slow and it has a problem starting the bite

[12:59:36] * Tom_itx heads off
[13:00:30] <jdhNC> paper guillotine and an air cylinder!
[13:00:43] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: I need about 5000/day
[13:00:57] <Jymmm> maybe higher
[13:01:20] <Tom_itx> rotary slicer with a stepper feed
[13:01:22] <Jymmm> jdhNC: Tried it, ends look fugly
[13:01:37] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: rotary doens't bite
[13:01:41] <Jymmm> easily
[13:02:02] <Tom_itx> feed it thru a tube
[13:02:24] <Jymmm> or, maybe I use planer knives instead!
[13:02:25] <Tom_itx> the rotary cutter is on the end of a tube
[13:02:35] <Tom_itx> like a fan blade
[13:02:43] <Jymmm> or razor blades at worse case ;)
[13:02:49] * Tom_itx leaves for real this time
[13:02:59] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: oh hell no! dman thing would probably shatter on me =)

[13:03:17] <jdhNC> or buy one of those.
[13:06:07] <Jymmm> This is cheaper by $10,000 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Auto-Heat-shrink-tube-cable-pipe-Cutting-Machine-USG-/290513110259?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43a3ee44f3 video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-Hr3BLKKsw

[13:10:27] <syyl_ws> is it stiff in a round form?
[13:10:50] <Jymmm> sorta, but not really I can pinch it flat
[13:10:57] <syyl_ws> hm
[13:11:12] <syyl_ws> ever thought of a finetoothed carbide circular saw?
[13:11:13] <Jymmm> if i try hard enough
[13:11:30] <syyl_ws> that will give a very fine cut with no burr
[13:12:16] <Jymmm> no need; can cut with razor blade. planer knives are just longer and more durable
[13:12:17] <syyl_ws> and is easy to build and automate
[13:17:46] <Jymmm> I have the holder version of these, if you ever come across a pair get them! They use standard utility razor blades http://www.wolfcraft.de/jcatalog_generated/en/products/product_groups/1485_product.html

[17:01:45] <sendoushi> already checked prices and requested discount on that german guy
[17:01:54] <sendoushi> we forgot something... pulleys and belts!
[17:02:00] <IchGuckLive> hi dis you ask your brother for parts
[17:02:05] <sendoushi> not yet not yet
[17:02:14] <sendoushi> for now checking around the web
[17:02:26] <IchGuckLive> you said you woudt try to go directdrive
[17:02:36] <sendoushi> :| haaam i did?
[17:02:51] <sendoushi> hm
[17:03:07] <sendoushi> but didn't you tell me that would be better with pulleys and belts?
[17:03:19] <IchGuckLive> as there is a TR x4 and halfstepping you are on 0.01mm per step direct no pullet needed
[17:03:36] <sendoushi> hm ok
[17:03:36] <IchGuckLive> it is up to you its more cost
[17:04:05] <sendoushi> and is there a significant improvement using pulleys and belts?
[17:04:15] <IchGuckLive> it wil add around 50euros
[17:04:20] <sendoushi> ohh
[17:04:26] <sendoushi> and what will improve?
[17:04:44] <IchGuckLive> smother and alitel better to fix the steppers
[17:05:24] <sendoushi> it's something i can always add or the lath on the TR is different?
[17:05:28] <IchGuckLive> as you see in the video its better to work with the components
[17:05:49] <sendoushi> well i have some margin for now...
[17:05:50] <IchGuckLive> no you can do this afterwards 2
[17:05:57] <sendoushi> maybe it's better
[17:06:04] <sendoushi> if i can do it afterwards
[17:06:26] <sendoushi> for now the price of everything including electronics without the MDF and Alu parts is = 379.53 €

[17:08:06] <sendoushi> it's a kit...
[17:08:09] <sendoushi> that costs 150e

[17:10:09] <IchGuckLive> and the tb is 38 i guess alone
[17:10:21] <sendoushi> tb38 is inside the epson?
[17:11:07] <IchGuckLive> 23LM-C355-44W look on your ebay
[17:11:31] <sendoushi> i cant find anymore the 150e kit
[17:12:07] <sendoushi> is this better than nema23?
[17:13:16] <IchGuckLive> nema23 is the size
[17:13:26] <sendoushi> hm
[17:14:00] <IchGuckLive> yours may have 1,5Nm if! this got 3Nm at 24V 150RPM
[17:14:59] <sendoushi> and it costs less from what i know
[17:15:31] <sendoushi> then i need board and power supply right?

[17:42:42] <syyl_> maybe go for ball bearings
[17:43:01] <mrsun> i will use ballbearings yes

[17:44:53] <mrsun> hmm
[17:45:33] <syyl_> needle bearings without a inner ring are 20/26

[17:54:58] <pcw_home> how long, how long has that evening train been ogne?

[17:56:37] <pcw_home> probably a cap will fix it (depending on how stiff the pullup is and cap value)
[17:57:16] <sendoushi> i can't find that power supply damn :s
[17:57:17] <IchGuckLive> i will go with 10nF
[17:57:33] <IchGuckLive> 100nF =0.1yF
[17:57:57] <pcw_home> if you need to debounce a bunch of pins, software is probably easier (and immune to noise all the way up to the parallel port chip)
[17:58:45] <IchGuckLive> only one parport 13 not
[17:59:24] <pcw_home> not to hard in HAL either, only a couple lines
[17:59:50] <IchGuckLive> i know but no example shows homing
[18:00:05] <IchGuckLive> espechel home-all
[18:00:30] <sendoushi> IchGuckLive: can you please tell me more alternatives?
[18:00:55] <pcw_home> thats outside of the scope of debounce (it will work for any 'bit' signal)
[18:01:19] <pcw_home> debouce doesn't care what its debouncing
[18:01:26] <pcw_home> debounce
[18:01:27] <IchGuckLive> so "net home-all <= debounce.0.0.out "
[18:01:39] <IchGuckLive> does this work
[18:02:00] <IchGuckLive> if i loatrt debounce cfg=1
[18:02:04] <pcw_home> somthing like that
[18:02:06] <IchGuckLive> delay 200
[18:02:10] <pcw_home> and addf
[18:02:24] <IchGuckLive> yes also a tread
[18:02:32] <IchGuckLive> i try
[18:02:39] <pcw_home> like most HAL comps
[18:06:48] <sendoushi> http://cgi.ebay.es/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110573320385&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:es#ht_2786wt_1165 but expensive
[18:09:51] <IchGuckLive> pcw_home: it is all only does the net home-all as it is discribed halbit take the debounce out or do i need a fake net name
[18:10:32] <pcw_home> I think you need a new net
[18:10:34] <IchGuckLive> sendoushi: this will fit more then you neede
[18:10:43] <sendoushi> but it's very expensive :s
[18:10:51] <sendoushi> and it's the only one i find
[18:11:09] <IchGuckLive> sendoushi: china has more
[18:11:21] <cpresser> sendoushi: i use those switching PSUs a lot. they are not that cheap, but the quality is okay
[18:11:24] <sendoushi> trying to find...
[18:11:27] <IchGuckLive> sendoushi: try to find your compleade 150USD box
[18:11:44] <sendoushi> the cnc kit i found on the other day?
[18:12:02] <IchGuckLive> cpresser: here also 30+ mashines no failu on the powersupply
[18:12:45] <IchGuckLive> pcw_home: thats the case and as it is defind halpin the home_is_shard depends on this
[18:12:53] <IchGuckLive> we will see
[18:12:59] <IchGuckLive> i try
[18:13:47] <IchGuckLive> what delay shoudt i use 200 or smaler pcw_home
[18:15:13] <pcw_home> what is your basethread period?
[18:15:34] <IchGuckLive> 25000
[18:16:08] <pcw_home> so 200 would be 5 ms delay, probably enough
[18:16:19] <IchGuckLive> ok

[18:16:39] <pcw_home> depends on switches of course
[18:16:51] <sendoushi> IchGuckLive: close to that...
[18:17:20] <IchGuckLive> sendoushi: this woudt be best for you
[18:17:24] <sendoushi> w8 a sec...
[18:17:33] <IchGuckLive> as here al components are in
[18:17:35] <sendoushi> you told me those motors were better right?
[18:17:47] <sendoushi> the ones you gave me
[18:17:52] <sendoushi> the schrittmotor
[18:18:08] <pcw_home> Also depends if this is really for switch debounce or EMI rejection
[18:18:10] <IchGuckLive> yes but is best to stay for you with that i REthink
[18:18:37] <IchGuckLive> pcw_home: lets try and see
[18:18:48] <sendoushi> with those motors, the tb by itself
[18:18:56] <sendoushi> and the power supply that is expensive the 90e one
[18:19:03] <sendoushi> all goes for 170e
[18:19:11] <sendoushi> while the link you gave me is like 165e
[18:19:18] <sendoushi> so... for 5e...
[18:19:22] <sendoushi> what do you think? the kit?
[18:20:10] <IchGuckLive> this is a 0.9Nm motor so NO this is not Good
[18:20:32] <sendoushi> so the thing now is find a power supply

[19:35:51] <Loetmichel> got through the workday today with 150mg of diclofenac...
[19:36:06] <Loetmichel> not much drive to do anything this evening
[19:36:43] <Loetmichel> it happens from time to time, i think the joint to the spine is a bit damaged
[19:37:45] <Loetmichel> now i will have aboput a week of "knife in the back§ with every breath and then it will be good again.

[19:41:45] <Jymmm> that's all they ever do.

[19:44:19] <Loetmichel> the prescriptions are printed

[20:04:26] <Jymmm> I want to mount a plastic/delrin wheel (cam) on a stepper motor to create an up/down motion. Anything I can put on it to prevent wear or flat spots on the outside of the wheel
[20:05:00] <Jymmm> or even something like an oversized bearing would be nicer
[20:05:10] <Jymmm> but cammed of sorts
[20:05:58] <Connor> Jymmm: What are you making ?
[20:09:29] <Loetmichel> make a round delrin part with a excentric hole fot the stepper shaft
[20:09:38] <archivist> Connor, pipe dreams
[20:09:58] <Loetmichel> and then use a piston rod in this to generate linear motion
[20:10:29] <Loetmichel> so you get less wear (if any) and if it wers it wears evenly, no flat spots
[20:10:33] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: That's what I'm planning, but I'm trying to reduce the wear effect on the outside of the wheel somehow.
[20:10:54] <Jymmm> archivist: There's is more truth in that, than you might think =)

[20:32:36] <anonimasu> howcome there is no really fast 5 axis work done with emc?
[20:32:56] <Connor> what do you mean ?
[20:33:13] <anonimasu> I never saw someone do really fast contouring on 5 axis on a video with emc.
[20:33:36] <Connor> 5 axis machines are harder to come by?
[20:33:47] * anonimasu nods
[20:34:15] <Jymmm> think I saw one, but it wasnt your standard hardware
[20:34:16] <Connor> 3 axis is hard enough, 4 your strutting your stuff.. 5?
[20:34:39] * anonimasu has like 9 2kw servos on a shelve that has to be used
[20:34:45] <jdhNC> I'd have a hard time manually doing toolpaths for 4 axis
[20:34:46] <Jymmm> anonimasu: It wasn't a retrofit, but it was high end stuff.
[20:35:09] <Connor> jdhNC: What do you have that has a 4th axis ?
[20:35:15] <anonimasu> 32760pulses per rev :]
[20:35:37] <jdhNC> nothing yet. But when/if I do, no clue how I will get toolpaths
[20:35:38] <Connor> I'm looking for a DC motor /servo for my 4th axis.. 48v range...

[20:36:25] <Connor> Some 4th axis is setup to use the 4th as if it was the Y and just do engraving..
[20:37:06] <anonimasu> as to why I need 5 axes.. idk why :p
[20:37:08] <anonimasu> it'd be neat.
[20:37:08] <Connor> That could be done in ANY 2d or 2.5d CAM pakage
[20:37:10] <jdhNC> so isn't that really just 3 axis
[20:37:24] <anonimasu> like 300x500x300mm of travel
[20:37:40] <Connor> jdhNC: In that application yes. Unless they're doing other operations with it.
[20:38:18] <anonimasu> tho atm im speed limited to 2400rpm out of 3000 because of the drives :/
[20:38:25] <jdhNC> http://www.ebay.com/itm/220946034041
[20:39:25] <Connor> Would still need to mount a normal motor on it to do lathe work.
[20:39:39] <anonimasu> but with 5nm of torque.. continous
[20:39:42] <jdhNC> vs. just using a lathe for lathe work?
[20:40:01] <anonimasu> and 10nm peak stall torque
[20:40:14] <Connor> well. If it was fast enough.. I would have a CNC lathe then too .:)
[20:40:36] <jdhNC> mount the 7x on the bed
[20:40:52] <archivist> you just mill round no need to turn

[20:41:56] <anonimasu> 0.12 seconds for the x axis.
[20:42:15] <jdhNC> someday.
[20:42:27] <jdhNC> I have 8 years of college to pay for over the next 5 years

[21:35:11] <andypugh> The amateurs tend to use Skeinforge. But that solves a subtly different problem
[21:35:31] <andypugh> There is _lots_ of CAM software if you have deep pockets.
[21:35:37] <JessicaRN> it still needs to make gcode, doesnt it?
[21:35:55] <andypugh> But it is a field with few customers, and it makes them money, so the software tends to be expensive.
[21:36:40] <JessicaRN> so, what are ppl using?
[21:37:01] <JessicaRN> most of us diy'ers dont have deep pockets
[21:37:16] <andypugh> JessicaRN: Yes, Skeinforge makes G-code, but it only has to deal with one tool, and simply draws slices of the part. Subtractive machining (routing/milling) tends to make different types of moves.
[21:37:41] <JessicaRN> yeah, and deals with tool widths
[21:37:46] <tjb1> everyone closes at 5 pm :/
[21:38:13] <andypugh> So far, I tend to write the G-code by hand, or use SheetCAM. But I am making engineering components, not art-parts.

[21:48:39] <JessicaRN> what is the difference?
[21:48:43] <andypugh> No, €195 for a student, €995 otherwise. So very not-free
[21:49:11] <JessicaRN> what is the difference between direct modeling and parametric?
[21:49:40] <andypugh> Paramtric CAD is all about "extrude this simple shape this far, drill a hole here, extrude this profile from that face by 10mm". Direct modelling lets you grab points and corners and pull them about.
[21:49:56] <andypugh> Sort-of the difference between milling and scultping with clay.
[21:50:11] <andypugh> And, the full spectrum between exists too.

[22:19:05] <Jymmm> There are some that are not even bothering with getting a degree these days
[22:19:33] <jdhNC> I'll be paying for (most of) my kids now.
[22:19:35] <andypugh> Jymmm: There always have been?
[22:19:49] <tjb1> I think I would be better off with an MIT degree :P
[22:20:01] <tjb1> Seems like they actually do all the worthwhile stuff too
[22:20:08] <jdhNC> some don't
[22:20:16] <cylly2> Jymmm: $me for example
[22:20:17] <jdhNC> some live in the media lab and never bathe
[22:20:19] <Jymmm> andypugh: This is a group/organization; they focus on career/startup things instead
[22:20:58] <tjb1> Holy balls, 40 k a year...
[22:21:14] <cylly2> as we get in germany no longer "dipl. Ing" but common "bachlor/master" i see no gain in hanging me a degree on my wall
[22:21:23] <Jymmm> instead of the 2-4yr college, it's business directly
[22:21:45] <andypugh> Sounds like bargain to sit in the media lab and never bathe. It's about the same as it costs to sit in a boat and race round the world, and never bathe.
[22:21:55] <Jymmm> these are not your average persons
[22:22:05] <jdhNC> nah, sitting in a boat costs a lot more.
[22:22:18] <Jymmm> jdhNC: cost you what $8000 USD ?
[22:22:21] <Jymmm> err andypugh
[22:22:26] <Jymmm> andypugh: cost you what $8000 USD ?
[22:22:44] <jd896_laptop> quick one can an input be net'd to more than one pin eg to link to ui as well as an input signal?
[22:22:48] <andypugh> Yes, for the Pacific. The full round-the-workd race is 12 months and 40k
[22:22:58] <jdhNC> not counting the boat
[22:23:10] <andypugh> jd896_laptop: Yes.
[22:23:14] <Jymmm> jdhNC: boat was included =)
[22:23:23] <Jymmm> andypugh: was food included?
[22:23:28] <andypugh> jd896_laptop: Or maybe no
[22:23:30] <jdhNC> oh, you pay to be crew on someones boat?
[22:23:43] <Jymmm> jdhNC: that's what andypugh did back in aprilish
[22:23:44] <andypugh> jd896_laptop: I might have misunderstood the question
[22:24:01] <jd896_laptop> hmm im getting a already linked to error
[22:24:01] <jdhNC> heh... I just try to get people to share fuel cost
[22:24:17] <andypugh> Fuel? What's that?
[22:24:29] <Jymmm> jdhNC: around the world sailing race
[22:24:33] <jdhNC> it's what runs the generator
[22:24:49] <andypugh> jd896_laptop: If you want to net two outputs to one input, you need to combine them with OR2 or AND2
[22:25:02] <Jymmm> NAND
[22:25:16] <andypugh> We don't have a NAND.
[22:25:23] <Jymmm> wth not?!
[22:25:24] <jd896_laptop> otherway round one input to two outputs
[22:25:56] <Jymmm> andypugh: ya always need a NAND =)
[22:26:30] <andypugh> jd896_laptop: That's the same way round

[22:50:14] <andypugh> Anyway, the question remains, 2-stroke or 4-stroke?
[22:50:34] <JT-Shop> yea, it's a bit heavy but made from an old Deutz engine
[22:51:26] <JT-Shop> does seem to have intake and exhaust valves
[22:51:50] <andypugh> I think that persuading the injector pump to work in reverse might be a problem.
[22:52:05] <andypugh> And you would need to change the cam timing.

[22:56:49] <Nick001-Shop> I'm trying to direct tap a hole with this along with a servo driving the slide with the tapping spindle on it
[22:57:40] <andypugh> Nick001-Shop: That should be possible. You need an encoder on the spindle too, of course.
[22:58:52] -!- iwoj has quit [Client Quit]
[22:59:24] <Nick001-Shop> the spindle is driven by this dc motor in question - spindle will have the encoder on it rather than the motor.
[23:02:07] <andypugh> Ah, in that case, on the spindleis where it needs to be.
[23:07:55] <Nick001-Shop> Thanks for the info - I'll go forward with this project. Will mesa drive this type of unit? I'll have 3 drilling and 1 taping with an indexing spindle holding the part.
[23:08:39] <andypugh> I would imagine that Mesa have some combination to drive almost anything.
[23:09:09] <andypugh> You could probably do it all with a parallel port, if you wanted a challenge.
[23:10:25] <JT-Shop> we were thinking of mounting two chain saws on my buddies jeep bumper to clear a path for Fords to follow...
[23:10:32] <Nick001-Shop> I'll have to check with them after I have more of these heads finished. Would parallel port count fast enough?
[23:11:05] <Tom_itx> har har
[23:12:08] <Nick001-Shop> I thought parport was for steppers
[23:12:37] <andypugh> Nick001-Shop: You can use it for low-count encoders, or slow moving axes.
[23:12:41] <Tom_itx> no, there is a mesa card (7i43) that is driven off the parallel port
[23:12:57] <andypugh> and you can generate PWM (albeit fairly slow PWM) to control a servo
[23:13:14] <andypugh> Tom_itx: No, I wasn't meaning that.
[23:13:36] <andypugh> It is (juat about) possible to run a servo system from the parport.
[23:14:07] <andypugh> http://emergent.unpythonic.net/projects/01142347802
[23:14:11] <andypugh> As an example
[23:18:34] <Nick001-Shop> I guess I should try it out - Sounds like I've got a lot more learning to do - and I thought I was done with the Hardinge -)
[23:20:43] <andypugh> Ah, no, you might as well accept that you won't be making things any more, you will be makming better and better CNC machines that you could make things with. But will be too busy to.
[23:22:44] <Nick001-Shop> This unit is to cross drill and tap the timing belt pulleys and spur gears that I make for a living
[23:23:56] <Jymmm> heh
[23:24:40] <Jymmm> Nick001-Shop: I know someone that made their own tapping machine for production purposes
[23:24:54] <Jymmm> very creatively I might add.
[23:25:08] <Nick001-Shop> any info or links
[23:25:43] <Jymmm> Nick001-Shop: It's semi automatic, all from drill presses
[23:25:51] <Jymmm> not sure if you want to go that route
[23:26:44] <Nick001-Shop> no - building an all in 1 unit - I already do drill presses - too much handling
[23:27:59] <Nick001-Shop> a 2 drill head unit to drill the holes - drill presses to countersink and the tap with tapping heads
