[00:00:30] <Tom_itx> i doubt most bikers are that stupid
[00:00:33] <andypugh> "lived" != happy
[00:01:18] <Tom_itx> broken arm and something else.. i forget
[00:01:40] <andypugh> And a huge bill for a new bike
[00:02:07] <Tom_itx> it was a 3rd rider that went between them
[00:02:17] <andypugh> I repeat, what about that was "good" for anyone involved?
[00:02:57] <Tom_itx> He survived the crash with only a broken arm and broken leg
[00:03:02] <Tom_itx> and i bet he thinks twice

[00:04:45] <andypugh> Camera bike left him nowhere to go, as far as I can see
[00:05:09] <Tom_itx> he could have slowd down like the one on the right had he been alert
[00:05:22] <andypugh> Though I have no idea why the plan A of "just stopping" wasn't tried.
[00:05:29] <Tom_itx> me either

[00:11:30] <andypugh> I crashed my bike 6 weeks ago on a race track, gently. I broke no bones, but I am still not right. That guy with the broken arm may never get back to where he was.

[02:40:45] <skunkworks__> it means the step signal will be on for 1ns.
[02:41:31] <jdh> PCW answered it. I was thinking older versions used # of base periods instead of nS, but that might have been something else.

[03:00:45] -!- Keknom has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[03:05:04] <pcw_home> The current software stepgen times are also scaled in ns, but if you set steplen to 1 ns you will get the minimum
[03:05:06] <pcw_home> time which (if reset is not enabled) is one base thread time, so 1 ns steplen will work for the software stepgen
[03:05:07] <pcw_home> but will very likely not work for the Mesa hardware stepgen

[14:45:04] <FinboySlick> I'm going to start seriously considering buidling one now.
[14:45:36] <L84Supper> first they wanted very dumb arduino type boards that just handled a small number of G-codes for motion control

[14:46:14] <L84Supper> but their boards are ~$200

[18:23:51] <andypugh> Jymmm: Isn't it frequency dependent?

[18:32:41] <Jymmm> 1/tan ?
[18:32:58] <jdh> that will work but will probably be in radians

[20:32:07] <andypugh> That might indicate that the pull-ups are too weak. Or strong. Or something.
[20:32:26] <Gabe_At_Work> i don't have pullups on it
[20:32:39] <Gabe_At_Work> it just needed higher voltage

[20:34:31] <L84Supper> Gabe_At_Work, the system you are running boots into a kernel and then follows the scripts for the distribution
[20:34:54] <L84Supper> you might want to take a look at Linux from Scratch to see how things really work
[20:34:57] <Gabe_At_Work> i want to make a minimum install for linux with the rtai kernel

[20:35:37] <L84Supper> Gabe_At_Work, well if you learn how this works and spend the time you probably could
[20:35:45] <Gabe_At_Work> i looked into that
[20:35:49] <andypugh> It might be simpler just to uninstall everything
[20:36:10] <andypugh> What are you hoping to achieve?
[20:36:30] <Gabe_At_Work> simpler updating, and prevent data loss
[20:37:01] <Gabe_At_Work> boot from an iso installed a a CF or SD drive, and run it in memory then make a persistent folder for data i.e program files
[20:37:23] <Gabe_At_Work> then in case of power failure, or if i have an update just replace the iso image
[20:37:37] <Gabe_At_Work> similar to how Tiny Core linux works
[20:38:00] <Gabe_At_Work> i only need Xorg installed, i don't even need a window manager
[20:38:12] <L84Supper> Gabe_At_Work, what file system are you using now that is losing data?
[20:39:01] <Gabe_At_Work> i haven't seen it with linux yet, but when i was using mach3 several times when a breaker blew or someone flipped it off. It would restart missing core windows files
[20:39:17] <Gabe_At_Work> even using solid state drives

[20:41:37] <L84Supper> you should be fine with the standard install
[20:42:09] <Gabe_At_Work> its to much bloat
[20:42:24] <mozmck> What's too much bloat?
[20:42:27] <Gabe_At_Work> i want it too look like an embedded program
[20:42:41] <L84Supper> we have been building with Gentoo for embedded LinuxCNC only because we don't care much for ubuntu
[20:43:03] <L84Supper> you should be fine with any modern hardware
[20:43:23] <Gabe_At_Work> i only use the hal part of linuxcnc for the machines i build
[20:43:48] <L84Supper> memory and drives are cheap
[20:44:04] <Gabe_At_Work> also i want an efficient way to roll updates
[20:44:28] <r00t4rd3d> lol
[20:44:29] <Gabe_At_Work> i don't want to have to drive to 6 different companies to reconfigure a hal component or something along those lines
[20:46:09] <L84Supper> spend a few months at you'll be able to roll it the way you want
[20:46:28] <mozmck> ext3 or ext4 are journaling file systems, and are the normal ones used for linux.
[20:46:52] <Gabe_At_Work> i spent the last 5 days trying to patch a kernel and use it with Tiny Core linux
[20:47:06] <Gabe_At_Work> i thought i had it, but it panics something about an init file
[20:47:36] <L84Supper> my RTAI dev here just threw his hands up in the air and said 'no more I'm going" LOL
[20:48:31] <L84Supper> Gabe_At_Work, it's lot of work and RTAI takes some time to learn
[20:48:51] <Gabe_At_Work> i would like to do linux from scratch, but i can't stand reading pdf documents, and im not about to print that off

[21:47:58] <andypugh> The simplest way to do it it just to set Pin2 and Pin 8 to X_step and Pin 3 and pin 9 both to X-dir in Stepconf. Then you can (optionally) invert pin 9 to reverse that motor.
[21:49:23] <tjb1> So in the hal file
[21:49:40] <andypugh> You can do it in stepconf, if you want.
[21:49:54] <tjb1> let me go check that out
[21:50:01] <andypugh> But you could also do it int he HAL file.

[21:54:42] -!- skunkworks__ has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[21:54:45] <tjb1> Well in stepconf I set up pin11 input as the home both for a then went into hal and changed the input pin to 10
[21:54:49] <tjb1> Guess that will work...

[22:02:26] <andypugh> You need to do it right...
[22:02:35] <andypugh> Wht's the error?
[22:03:35] <andypugh> You need to use the signal name, not the parport pin name.
[22:04:30] <tjb1> Ok I have "net both-home-x <= parpot.0.pin10-in-not"
[22:04:42] <tjb1> and "net both-home-a <= parport.0.pin-11-in-not"
[22:05:11] <tjb1> I tried to change a to pin-10 and it doesnt work
[22:05:41] <L84Supper> mozmck, he was but he was responding to what was being asked in the channel at the time about building RTAI as a n00b
[22:05:49] <andypugh> What does your new HAL line say
[22:06:48] <tjb1> It said "net both-home-a <= partport.0.pin-10-in-not"
[22:06:56] <tjb1> *parport
[22:07:18] <andypugh> You can't do that, because parport-10 is already netted to both-home-x

[22:07:53] <L84Supper> s1dev, are you building a reprap FFF type?
[22:07:54] <andypugh> The right way to do it is to delete all references to both-home-a and replace them with both-home-x

[22:08:16] <s1dev> L84Supper: FFF type?
[22:08:27] <tjb1> So in the stepgen section for axis 3, change "net both-home-a" to "net both-home-x"
[22:08:40] <L84Supper> FFF = FDM or reprap
[22:08:49] <andypugh> (Note that the name "both-home-x is not special, you could call that net anything you wanted)
[22:09:33] <L84Supper> FDM is a trademark and stands for Fused Deposition Modeling, the open term is FFF for Fused Filament Fabrication
[22:09:38] <andypugh> But yes. In fact you don't have an A axis, so you probably want to remove any reference to one. You have one X axis with 2 "joints"
[22:09:47] <s1dev> yes, I'm building a Reprap

[22:47:16] <Loetmichel> :-(
[22:47:28] <andypugh> Loetmichel: No point going home.
[22:48:09] <Loetmichel> andypugh: i AM home... the company has no CNC mill
[22:48:12] <tjb1> It hits switch, reverses direction until off switch, hits switch and machine powers off after it completes
[22:48:29] <Loetmichel> making a prototype PSU casing for a new laptop
[22:48:31] <L84Supper> I'm wide awake, wish i could help
[22:49:12] <andypugh> tjb1: Pastebin your HAL file?
[22:49:27] <tjb1> Do you want INI too?
[22:49:35] <andypugh> No
[22:49:48] <Loetmichel> and just have finished the blueprint. now making gcode, and then the 1,5mm aluminium goes on the mill... and the mill is to small, so i have to make it by milling half of it, turning around, adjust, and then mill the other half...
[22:50:01] <tjb1> When it hits the home the second time, it says "Joint 0 on limit switch error"
[22:50:04] <Loetmichel> times 4 because of for casing parts
[22:50:07] <tjb1> But it is set to ignore limits on home
[22:50:49] <andypugh> Ah that's it then. No need for the HAL
[22:52:28] <andypugh> You might be able to get round it with a simpler homing sequence. Try changing the sign of the latch velocity.
[22:53:10] <andypugh> Actually, the solution is probably not to have any limits wired for X2.
[22:53:48] <tjb1> Well here is the HAL
[22:53:48] <tjb1> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=tuDhA18A
[22:53:49] <andypugh> I am assuming that you only have one set of switches, so they don't need to be limits for both joints.
[22:53:58] <tjb1> I only have one switch
[22:54:09] <tjb1> Its only set both-home for X
[22:55:27] <andypugh> Hmm, puzzling.
[22:55:47] <andypugh> First try latch velocity with the opposite sign to search velocity. That might do it.
[22:56:49] <andypugh> I am confusing myself here.
[22:57:10] <tjb1> Heh
[22:57:27] <andypugh> It is doing no homing or anything on X2/A is it? So it's nothing to do with that.
[22:57:34] <tjb1> nope
[22:57:52] <tjb1> X2 is getting X step and dir
[22:58:00] <tjb1> Its not separate
[22:58:08] <andypugh> It can only be that HOME_IGNORE_LIMITS isn't working. It may be in the wrong section of the INI, or it may be misspelled.

[22:59:36] <Loetmichel> JT-Shop_ so i wasnt THAT far away

[23:00:37] <tjb1> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=KZCXR71m
[23:01:40] <JT-Shop> you have 4 axes defined in traj but only have three axis_n sections why is that?
[23:01:47] <Loetmichel> <- making silly errors now. i think i should go to bed and call in tomorrow that i will finish this casing and THEN go to the company... after all, its work done for the company...
[23:02:49] <tjb1> I had it set as 4 axis machine JT-Shop but since deleted axis 3 because not needed since A was slaved
[23:03:00] <JT-Shop> you also need enough home offset to move off of the switch
[23:03:08] <jp_> afternoon all!
[23:03:20] <JT-Shop> change axes to 3 and coordinates to xyz
[23:03:30] <andypugh> Yeah, the problem is that it doesn't move off the switch when homed.
[23:03:30] <JT-Shop> good afternoon
[23:03:44] <JT-Shop> no home offset no move
[23:03:50] <andypugh> HOME_LATCH_VEL = -0.1 might be better.
[23:04:11] <tjb1> Isnt the home latch vel the velocity it uses when searching again?
[23:04:14] <jp_> JT-Shop, Hows the BP ?
[23:04:25] <andypugh> (then home is when the switch releases, though you still want a tiny move off the switch)
[23:04:37] <tjb1> andypugh: Maybe I wasnt clear, it moves off but when it hits again it also trips the limit and powers machine off
[23:05:17] <JT-Shop> jp_: almost done, just a few minor things to wrap up
[23:05:30] <jp_> cool!
[23:05:38] <andypugh> tjb1: Yes, it will. Because it trips it, says "that's home", moves to "home" (ie exactlty the same spot), clears the "homing" flag, then finds that the limit switch is set.
[23:06:16] <JT-Shop> for inch I use 0.1 search and 0.01 latch
[23:06:20] <andypugh> A negative latch vel will set home as the point where the switch releases.
[23:06:40] <andypugh> Ah, I search at full speed.
[23:06:50] <JT-Shop> your a daring guy too
[23:06:53] <tjb1> .1 is really slow
[23:07:09] <andypugh> Do you jog to close to home before starting the sequence then?
[23:07:22] <tjb1> Do I need to do anything with offset?
[23:07:26] <JT-Shop> that's why I rapid to home before I turn off my plasma with my button
[23:07:44] <JT-Shop> <andypugh> Yeah, the problem is that it doesn't move off the switch when homed.
[23:07:44] <JT-Shop> <JT-Shop> no home offset no move
[23:08:08] <JT-Shop> <JT-Shop> you also need enough home offset to move off of the switch
[23:08:18] <andypugh> 0.1 (or -0.1) home offset would help.
[23:08:52] <JT-Shop> home offset should normally be the same sign as the search and latch
[23:09:00] <andypugh> Or, zero offset, and a home-position of 0.1 (or, potentially, mid travel)
[23:09:11] <tjb1> But with andy's - latch vel it is now homing when off switch
[23:09:24] <tjb1> So if I input a home offset would it do the double check correctly?
[23:09:37] <andypugh> But only just. The slightest nudge might set the switch again.
[23:09:40] <JT-Shop> double check?
[23:10:06] <andypugh> Just put random numbers in till you get what you want. That's how I got mine working.
[23:10:12] <andypugh> :-)
[23:10:18] <JT-Shop> roflmao
[23:10:37] <tjb1> Isnt the home search a rapid search, it finds switch, backs off and researches slower to get a "more accurate" home?
[23:10:45] <JT-Shop> yes
[23:10:52] <jp_> home random number generator
[23:11:03] <JT-Shop> 2.5 latch is much too fast
[23:11:06] <tjb1> Ok when mine finds the more accurate home, it is tripping the limit switch and powering the machine off
[23:11:08] <andypugh> But you can rapid to the switch, then back off slowly, and use the release posiiton.
[23:11:35] <JT-Shop> <JT-Shop> <JT-Shop> you also need enough home offset to move off of the switch
[23:11:35] <tjb1> THe only way it didnt shut off was using the - search vel like andy said
[23:11:46] <tjb1> I just set .5 offset and it still did it ;)
[23:11:46] <andypugh> tjb1: No, it is finding home, then finishing the home sequence, and finding that the limit switch is set.
[23:12:18] <JT-Shop> if you mix signs with search and latch your doing a different homing method
[23:12:19] <andypugh> You want negative offset, or positive home position.
[23:12:26] <JT-Shop> you should read the manual on homing
[23:12:51] <andypugh> After finding home, the machine rapids to the home location. Your problem is that your home location is inside the switch travel.
[23:13:27] <jp_> how close is you home sw to your limit?
[23:13:38] <tjb1> Its the same switch

[23:19:33] <andypugh> yes
[23:19:40] <andypugh> From the INI
[23:20:21] <tjb1> So what is the 3 in the second picture?
[23:20:31] <tjb1> It moves 3 inches off trip location to search again?

[23:20:37] <JT-Shop> tjb1: after you home and manually move the axis off of the switch note the distance and add a small amount to that and put that in home offset with the same sign as search and latch

[23:21:35] <tjb1> JT-Shop: My problem is on "Final Detection" when it hits the switch, it thinks it is hitting the limit but shouldnt it still be in the homing sequence?
[23:21:57] <JT-Shop> no, you have to move off of the home switch with your homing settings
[23:22:39] <tjb1> So I have positive search and latch, homeoffset of 3 and home of 1
[23:22:59] <JT-Shop> try offset of .25 and home 0
[23:23:03] <tjb1> It moves off the switch but says "Joint 0 on limit switch error"

[23:33:32] <jp_> vel is in machine units per sec
[23:33:53] <jp_> 2.5 * 60 = 150
[23:35:24] <tjb1> Ok is MAX Velocity 50 ipm or 3000 ipm?
[23:35:46] <jp_> max vel is whatever you set it to in the INI
[23:36:46] <jp_> Home Vel has nothing to do with max vel
[23:37:38] <tjb1> I have it set to 50
[23:37:45] <tjb1> but is that 50 * 60 or 50?
[23:37:57] <jp_> 50*60
[23:37:58] <andypugh> 50 units per second
[23:38:09] <tjb1> So that would be 3000 ipm
