[00:17:42] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop, gettin our rain yet?
[00:17:54] <cncjerry> hello, cncjerry here
[00:18:35] <cncjerry> my PC wont boot, nothing, nada, nil and was wondering if this little ShuttleX I have would be enough to run my mill until I figure this out.
[00:18:52] <cncjerry> so I am running the latency test and wondering what is good/bad/ugly
[00:19:00] <Tom_itx> low is good
[00:19:02] <Tom_itx> high is bad
[00:19:08] <cncjerry> jitter?
[00:19:30] <Valen> depends on if you are using mesa or something like that to some extent too
[00:19:34] <Valen> and your step rate
[00:19:44] <Valen> if your using steppers on pports
[00:19:45] <cncjerry> the jitter is 5937 on servo 1 and 8465 on base
[00:20:10] <Valen> thats not terrible as i recall
[00:20:48] <tjtr33> http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/install/Latency_Test.html has numbers and guidelines
[00:21:34] <JT-Shop> Tom_itx: sprinkles only
[00:22:38] <r00t4rd3d> cncjerry, did you test your psu?
[00:23:08] -!- cncjerry_ [cncjerry_!3fc54af2@gateway/web/freenode/ip.63.197.74.242] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:23:37] <cncjerry_> something happend to the chat window. did You get my rate?
[00:23:55] <r00t4rd3d> yeah
[00:24:09] <r00t4rd3d> cncjerry_, did you test your dead computer psu?
[00:24:12] -!- cncjerry has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[00:24:16] <cncjerry_> I think the x and y are like 40,000
[00:26:12] -!- cncjerry [cncjerry!3fc54af2@gateway/web/freenode/ip.63.197.74.242] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:26:19] <cncjerry> the chat keeps crashing on the other computer as well
[00:26:27] <cncjerry> I don't know if you got my last
[00:26:45] <cncjerry> I pulled the plug on the drives and they measured fine. 5.0 and 11.96v
[00:27:08] <cncjerry> I was going to pull the moboard connector to check them but will need to get the voltages from the doc (somewhere)
[00:27:35] <cncjerry> I do remember the power going out coincident with a thunderstorm a month ago, haven't been in the shop lately.
[00:28:17] <cncjerry> the last I checked about two weeks ago, the main drive wouldn't boot but I got linux up to do the work. so I was down there shooting that bug when I noticed it won't boot at all.
[00:28:23] -!- cncjerry_ has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[00:28:24] <cncjerry> the green light is on the motherboard.
[00:28:25] <r00t4rd3d> you can easily test the psu by unplugging the connector, find the one green wire and jump that to a black wire, if the fan spins up, its good.
[00:28:35] <cncjerry> the fans are running
[00:28:39] <cncjerry> the disk drives seek
[00:28:40] <r00t4rd3d> your jitter numbers are fine
[00:28:56] <r00t4rd3d> sounds like video or monitor
[00:29:11] <cncjerry> I tried pulling the memory, drives, etc. no luck. unless the video adapter is out, but I would think it should at least beep
[00:29:27] <cncjerry> the drives aren't rattling at all.
[00:29:29] <r00t4rd3d> do you have a video card?
[00:29:35] <cncjerry> only the one in there.
[00:29:40] <cncjerry> that machine is old
[00:30:01] <r00t4rd3d> get a D525MW while you still can.
[00:30:28] <cncjerry> I think it is PCIE but not the latest. I can't plug my others in there as it has a small plate to prevent the newer cards from seating.
[00:30:28] <r00t4rd3d> http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-D525MW-Mini-ITX-Motherboard-w-Atom-525-CPU-/200542103383?pt=Motherboards&hash=item2eb13da757
[00:31:09] <cncjerry> this machine was a 2.9ghz that I built in like 2000 so it is old.
[00:31:52] <cncjerry> I have this little shuttle i found in a dumpster that boots and runs fine. I had planned to use it on my lathe as that computer is on a shelf and it is older.
[00:32:14] <r00t4rd3d> I play video games on my CNC computer while I wait for cuts :D
[00:32:34] -!- micges [micges!~micges@egq26.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:32:38] <cncjerry> so I guess I'll have to pull the linux drive out of the down machine, plug it into the shuttle to see if I can get the config file.
[00:32:57] <cncjerry> I am going to hate having to rebuild all that since I customized axis, etc.
[00:33:05] <r00t4rd3d> take your whole ini folder that should be on your desktop
[00:33:46] <cncjerry> the question is getting to the drive. I can't remember which one and there are like 6 in that machine.
[00:34:27] <r00t4rd3d> I would just swap out the video card and see if that worked
[00:34:39] <cncjerry> I've never had a cpu or motherboard blow.9
[00:34:53] <cncjerry> would the machine hang or beep if the video was bad?
[00:35:00] <r00t4rd3d> no
[00:35:14] <cncjerry> if I pulled the video card would the machine beep?
[00:35:17] <r00t4rd3d> that normally only happens with memory or cpu errors
[00:36:36] <cncjerry> I'll take the advice and go digging. I might have an old PCI card that would at least get it up. the windows boot disk is hosed as well, that doesnt show in the bios (when the machine last booted)
[00:36:50] <r00t4rd3d> if the video card has a fan and its clogged with shit and didnt get cooled enough, it could be fried.
[00:36:51] <tjb1> Ok JT-Shop, I am gonna try to do this now
[00:37:04] <Valen> no video card will often make them beep
[00:37:17] <cncjerry> we had a bad lightning storm in early january that seemed to precipitate this.
[00:37:18] <Valen> if you pull the card it should generally give you a beep code error
[00:37:26] <Valen> that won't help anything
[00:37:31] <cncjerry> I'll go pull the card to see
[00:37:49] <cncjerry> by now I probly pulled the speaker as well.
[00:37:55] <Valen> you say you have 6 drives hanging off it?
[00:37:55] <r00t4rd3d> motherboards are not video card dependent
[00:38:05] <cncjerry> yes
[00:38:07] <Valen> r00t4rd3d: you can set some to boot headless
[00:38:08] <r00t4rd3d> it should not beep with no video
[00:38:19] <Valen> but most consumer boards will fail post without a video output
[00:38:27] <cncjerry> I get no bios screen, etc.
[00:38:51] <cncjerry> and the reset button doesn't reset the drives
[00:39:12] <r00t4rd3d> is there an old phone modem in there?
[00:39:13] <cncjerry> I tried pulling the battery as well thinking maybe something was hosed in the bios.
[00:39:17] <cncjerry> maybe
[00:39:21] <cncjerry> no
[00:39:28] <Valen> I'd suggest unplugging everything except cpu and ram (and speaker ;->) and see if you can get at least a post beep from it
[00:39:34] <cncjerry> It was the highest end computer in 2001
[00:39:35] -!- tjb1 has quit [Quit: tjb1]
[00:39:39] <r00t4rd3d> check all your pci cards for burn marks
[00:39:39] <Valen> then start adding stuff back one at a time
[00:39:54] <Valen> then add back the video and test that
[00:39:55] <Valen> etc
[00:39:58] <cncjerry> I have to find a video card. it was pretty curdy.
[00:40:02] <cncjerry> crudy
[00:40:16] <Valen> I've seen bad IDE devices cause similar issues
[00:40:18] <cncjerry> I wish it had onboard video
[00:40:24] <r00t4rd3d> ya
[00:40:24] <cncjerry> all the ice are pulled,
[00:40:29] <cncjerry> ide.
[00:40:42] <cncjerry> only one memory stick in
[00:40:46] <Valen> pull the video as well and see if you can get a beep
[00:40:52] <cncjerry> k, brb
[00:40:55] -!- tjb1 [tjb1!~tjb1@74.43.51.64] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:41:01] <Valen> you should be able to pull the ram too
[00:41:06] <Valen> give you a no memory beep
[00:41:22] <Valen> though some mbo's wont do that they will just be dead
[00:42:06] <ReadError> might as well reset the cmos
[00:42:16] <ReadError> just to get everything back to defaults
[00:42:26] <Valen> he did pull the battery
[00:42:28] <r00t4rd3d> he pulled that battery so thats dont already
[00:42:31] -!- Thetawaves_ has quit [Quit: This computer has gone to sleep]
[00:42:34] <Valen> though thats not always a guarantee
[00:42:40] <ReadError> you gotta hit the power button as well
[00:42:43] <ReadError> to discharge everything
[00:42:52] <Valen> often they have a clear cmos jumper
[00:42:55] <ReadError> yea
[00:43:06] <ReadError> that does the same as pulling the battery though im fairly sure
[00:43:11] <ReadError> i always unplug it
[00:43:18] <ReadError> short/pull battery
[00:43:24] <ReadError> and hold the power button for a few seconds
[00:43:31] <Valen> I haven't had to do that for years lol
[00:43:35] <ReadError> even unplugged the fans will still spin for a sec
[00:43:45] <Valen> I actually have to replace a cmos battery for a guy
[00:43:51] <Valen> i keep forgetting to get the cell lol
[00:44:28] <ReadError> Valen: these AU guys make it seem like its impossible to find g10 sheets in the AU
[00:44:33] <r00t4rd3d> Ive worked on tons of dead computers where I unseated/unplugged everything then plug it all back in and the computer worked.
[00:44:36] <ReadError> here its all over, even amazon sells it
[00:44:48] <Valen> ReadError: it is, we all just order it from overseas
[00:44:50] <Valen> or just use PCB
[00:45:19] <Valen> done that more than once r00t4rd3d, strip it all out and put it back together and it works
[00:45:43] <r00t4rd3d> yup, then my boss would tell the customer they had a bad hd
[00:45:43] <cncjerry> no beep with no video.
[00:46:02] <r00t4rd3d> ive told you it wont do that :)
[00:46:06] <cncjerry> btw: worked for IBM on the PC before it came out in '81. 35yrs of the PC business
[00:46:11] <Valen> and I've told you it will
[00:46:19] <cncjerry> usually reseat and off you go. not this time.
[00:46:39] <Valen> r00t4rd3d:
http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm look for video
[00:46:49] <Valen> sounds like its dead jim
[00:47:02] <cncjerry> Jim's my brother
[00:47:06] <cncjerry> I think it is dead
[00:47:26] <Valen> I've had terrible luck with shuttles always seem to be glitchy to me
[00:47:36] <Valen> another guy i know has hundreds of them in the field
[00:47:54] <cncjerry> the only thing is do I go thru the trouble of checking the 3.3v or just find the drive and plug it into the shuttle
[00:48:16] <Valen> if you have a spare PSU whack it in, nothing to loose
[00:48:20] <cncjerry> I found the shittleX at a surplus metal store in a barrel
[00:48:29] <Valen> just sit it next to it will be good enough ;->
[00:48:34] <Valen> rofl
[00:48:42] <cncjerry> It had memory and 60gig drive, cd, etc. took it for the hell of it.

[00:49:57] <cncjerry> if I pull all the memories it should beep, no?
[00:50:05] <ReadError> i dont think
[00:50:13] <ReadError> ive never got a PC to boot w/o memory
[00:50:15] <ReadError> er, post
[00:50:28] <cncjerry> that was supposed to be mamories
[00:50:33] <Valen> 50/50 with no ram you will get a no memory beep code
[00:50:34] <cncjerry> or is it mammories
[00:50:43] <Valen> the only other thing you can do is get a port80 card
[00:50:46] <ReadError> you can try to pull a dimm out of a laptop
[00:50:51] <ReadError> and throw it in there

[00:51:57] <ReadError> yea this assumes you have the case and psu..
[00:52:17] <cncjerry> yes, but that is the question. PSU might be bad.

[00:53:36] <r00t4rd3d> then that memory to power the computer up

[00:53:46] <r00t4rd3d> assuming you have a working atx power supply

[01:14:50] <Valen> this is where that port-80 card comes in really handy ;->
[01:15:08] <cncjerry> yes, so the port-80 card can tell you to throw it away sooner
[01:15:09] <Valen> check the pins in the ram slots with a magnifing glass for a bent pin
[01:15:23] <Valen> its easier than it sounds
[01:16:27] <cncjerry> so it must be testing the memory to be ok. I have 4 x 512k sticks so it is going beyond. can't be keyboard, usb, etc.
[01:16:40] <cncjerry> must be CPU.
[01:17:15] <cncjerry> I tried pulling the handles and moving it around essentially reseating it.
[01:17:34] <cncjerry> I wonder if it is still PSU
[01:17:55] <Valen> unlikey if you are getting beeps
[01:18:01] <Valen> but its not hard to test
[01:18:38] <cncjerry> it isn't hard to test if you have an ATX PSU lying around.
[01:18:49] <cncjerry> I have a bunch of AT type.
[01:18:52] <Valen> shuttle has one
[01:19:10] <cncjerry> it's integrated I think, no? let me go look.
[01:19:22] <Valen> its special but close
[01:20:54] <cncjerry> yes, it is small, I don't think I want to pull the nicely laid cables. I'll go buy one from best buy and return it before I mess with my backup plan.
[01:21:10] <cncjerry> wonder if they still sell them
[01:23:23] <cncjerry> dynex 400w $35
[01:23:29] <cncjerry> available now
[01:23:52] <cncjerry> what's the verdict? blown cpu or mother board or PSU?
[01:24:14] <cncjerry> or plug in the shittle
[01:24:57] <cncjerry> I have no other plans for the shuttle anyway. paid $5 for it.
[01:25:12] <cncjerry> $15 for the flatscreen monitor
[01:26:25] <Spida> where?
[01:26:52] <cncjerry> the monitor? halted electronics in Santa Rosa. It is called a Planar.
[01:26:54] <cncjerry> surplus
[01:27:42] <gene77> A lincon 103307E might be what I need, but no pix available.
[01:29:09] <gene77> No american greae gun fits this even when its removed, the thing is that much different sized.
[01:30:53] <gene77> The whole head that supposedly engages the gun is about 30 thou smaller that our on this side of the big pond.
[01:34:38] <gene77> I think I hear dinner calling, later & thanks titr33
[01:38:43] <r00t4rd3d> "Gene come up from the basement, I got your mac&cheese ready!"

[01:52:32] <cncjerry> valen, just downloaded the latest linuxcnc. I'm going to pull the newest drive in the machine, plug it into the second port and try to find my config. I've been meaning to get rid of this dinosaur anyway.
[01:52:50] <Valen> just plug the drive in and boot off it
[01:54:00] <Valen> i wouldn't bother screwing around unless you suspect the other disk
[01:54:01] <cncjerry> I was thinking about that but windows would barf.
[01:54:08] <Valen> windows?
[01:54:53] <cncjerry> I had windows on the old machine. if you took a drive out of a windows machine and tried booting it on another, it might work bu generally wouldn't. I don't know if linux will or not.
[01:55:12] <cncjerry> can you boot a linux installed drive on any machine?
[01:55:28] <Valen> linux will be fine
[01:55:32] <Valen> 99% of the time
[01:55:59] <cncjerry> well, there you go. one more reason to go linux. I'll try it, nothing to lose
[01:56:06] <Valen> only issue really is if your drive has grub installed on it and was the boot device
[01:56:30] <Valen> it can get hinkey with multiple drives in the computer
[01:56:36] <cncjerry> no, linux wasn't installed on the boot, I know that for sure
[01:56:41] <Valen> but crap its like 5 seconds to find out
[01:57:09] <cncjerry> not much room in the shuttle, have to figure out how to get the drive in there.
[01:57:13] <Valen> worst case you can boot the livecd and reinstall grub
[01:57:25] <Valen> I'd suggest just hanging it out the side of the case for the moment
[02:14:40] <cncjerry> valen, I owe you a beer
[02:14:47] <cncjerry> saved me some time. it is booting
[02:14:58] <Valen> hah victory!
[02:14:59] <Valen> lol
[02:15:07] <Valen> I'll take a 4X thanks ;->
[02:15:12] <Valen> aka XXXX
[02:15:15] <cncjerry> the killer is the original boot drive that the other system couldn't find prior to the overall failure is ok as well
[02:15:34] <cncjerry> so something on the mother board must have crashed
[02:15:46] <Valen> so the origional PC is booting now?
[02:15:48] <cncjerry> the first symptom was a drive missing.
[02:16:03] <cncjerry> no, the original PC is dead. the drive in the shuttle is booting
[02:16:14] <Valen> ok just checking lol
[02:16:33] <cncjerry> I found the linux drive on the third try and hooked it to the shuttle and it is coming up.
[02:16:53] <Valen> ahh ok lol
[02:16:54] <cncjerry> the original master drive from the dead PC wasn't being seen last week
[02:16:55] <Valen> good stuff
[02:17:07] <cncjerry> so something popped in the mother board I bet.
[02:17:15] <cncjerry> rats get in there
[02:17:25] <Valen> had that happen to me
[02:17:29] <Valen> bastards
[02:17:38] <cncjerry> the kids snake was missing for two weeks and I found it wrapped in there as well.
[02:17:46] <cncjerry> 6ft king snake
[02:17:51] <cncjerry> must have been warm

[02:19:14] <cncjerry> how do I find the parallel port address for the second lpt
[02:19:26] <cncjerry> and I guess I have to change my config file?
[02:19:37] <cncjerry> x378 is the first
[02:19:43] <cncjerry> isnt the second 2bc
[02:20:09] <cncjerry> it booted all the way, my desktop is there, ini files, etc.
[02:20:45] <Valen> finding port addresses i don't know
[02:20:49] <Valen> bios might tell you
[02:20:51] <tjb1> Heh
[02:20:53] <tjb1> Finding port addresses is fun
[02:21:24] <tjb1> lspci -v
[02:22:11] <Valen> I'd suggest poking round in the bios as being easier lol
[02:22:33] <tjb1> Is this an added card or mobo parport?
[02:23:39] <cncjerry> yes, added card. I couldn't find a cable to fit the shuttle mother board connector
[02:23:54] <cncjerry> so the address should be 2bc but who knows with the added card
[02:24:12] -!- Holgi has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[02:26:26] <cncjerry> lspci -v gave me a bunch of stuff but it says irq 19 and ports at 9400
[02:30:13] <Valen> the added card should probably say on itself
[02:30:24] <Valen> although i guess PnP could shift it arund
[02:30:35] <Valen> pshaw kids today with their plug and play pci devices
[02:32:16] <cncjerry> I have another parallel port card, a dual, that has a ton of jumpers and you can set it to about anything. so if this one doesn't work, I'll throw that one in there.
[02:32:39] <cncjerry> I have a feeling the 9400 is the port address if I am reading the lspci -v correctly. everything else matches

[02:43:49] <cncjerry> the cpu/mother board on the machine that crashed probly cost me $1500 in 2001 / 2002 so compared to the shuttle....

[02:48:09] <cncjerry> I have two other parallel port cards but they are old ISA bus. wonder if I can still buy one
[02:48:27] <cncjerry> jdh. do I have to change the address as well?
[02:49:09] <jdh> yeah
[02:49:19] <jdh> you have to add the other address
[02:49:20] <cncjerry> i saw a statement at the top of the file where 0x378 was specified. that is the typical address for lpt1.
[02:49:41] <cncjerry> but does 9400 look like a valid address for the second one?
[02:50:00] <jdh> not really
[02:50:04] <jdh> what are the other choices
[02:50:06] -!- hashfail has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[02:50:34] <cncjerry> I got that address off of lspci -v. it shows the card name, etc so it is finding the card.

[02:56:03] <pcw_home> Just depends on where the BIOS sticks it
[02:57:12] <cncjerry> lspci -vv gave 9400 for 8, irq19
[02:57:31] <cncjerry> I assume it is the 8 bit interface.
[02:57:42] <tjb1> Can you copy and paste the lspci -v
[02:58:05] <tjb1> or maybe try "cat /proc/ioports"
[02:58:08] <tjb1> I think that is the one

[02:59:27] <r00t4rd3d> lsmod | grep parport

[03:01:09] <cncjerry> supposed to snow like crazy in newport, RI, my son is in boarding school there. they are already talking about closing school and not one flake yet.
[03:01:22] <cncjerry> I don't have the other parallel port enabled.
[03:01:39] <cncjerry> also, the PCI bus starts at like 9000 or something, so that all makes sense
[03:01:57] <cncjerry> I don't doubt the address, just never saw one that high.
[03:02:25] <r00t4rd3d> tjb1, do you have a motorized bicycle?
[03:02:40] <tjb1> No

[03:03:13] <cncjerry> not online right now
[03:03:45] <tjb1> The parport in my d525mw is 1008
[03:03:54] <tjb1> I got that from lspci -v
[03:04:03] <tjb1> It was one of the "IO ports at ……."
[03:04:18] <cncjerry> can you check your hal to see if that address is plugged in there?
[03:04:52] <tjb1> I put it in myself
[03:05:18] <cncjerry> so you put the 1008 in? if that is the case, i'm not worried.
[03:05:19] <tjb1> http://pastebin.com/cQJRW3D7
[03:05:28] <tjb1> Thats my fresh HAL that I am working on now...
[03:05:39] <cncjerry> I'll try it tomorrow and report back. thanks for all the help.
[03:05:46] <cncjerry> booting that drive saved hours.
[03:05:53] <tjb1> Just plug in all the numbers in IO ports at…. until it works
[03:06:28] <cncjerry> still bugs me that the other machine won't boot. never had that type of fault. just about all others...

[08:23:27] <archivist> as part of repair
[08:24:25] <Jymmm> Is it a lost art? Time consuming? Special order?
[08:24:36] <archivist> I engraved new to match the old
http://www.collection.archivist.info/searchv13.php?searchstr=norfolk+dial
[08:24:43] <archivist> not a lost art
[08:25:16] <archivist> time consuming yes
[08:26:24] <archivist> some amount of hand skill required also need to be artistic

[08:26:54] <Jymmm> any decorative alternatives that could be "mass produced"?
[08:28:06] <archivist> stamping
[08:28:45] <Jymmm> This is thin walled tubing, I think it'll just crush it.
[08:29:04] <archivist> backing roll in the tube
[08:29:17] <Jymmm> Ah, ok.
[08:29:59] <Jymmm> I know where to get a stamp made too =)
[08:30:20] <archivist> some is done just by the rolling process before crop/folding to final item
[08:32:01] <Jymmm> I'll be getting the tubes pre-made/cut.
[08:38:07] <Jymmm> nice work btw
[08:39:13] <Jymmm> I've always wanted to do/learn scrollwork, but sadly it's far underappreciated

[09:17:56] <archivist_herron> that is called engraving, to me scrollwork is something blacksmiths do
[09:19:13] <Jymmm> and this?
http://www.gundigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Engraved_8.jpg
[09:19:45] <Jymmm> I think that's just fucking amazing
[09:20:40] <archivist_herron> some of that is filled with coloured wax
[09:21:10] <archivist_herron> see the numerals on the clock dial, they are filled with black hard wax
[09:21:20] <Jymmm> I have never know what it was filled with, just for contrast.
[09:21:39] <Jymmm> I thought it was some oxide/blueing process
[09:21:57] <archivist_herron> contrast/consistency
[09:22:45] <archivist_herron> engraving steel is a little harder
[09:23:11] <Jymmm> I do a lot of monochromatic stuff, so always focusing on ways to get better contrast. But never in metals
[09:23:58] <Jymmm> I tried engraving text on a piece of al plate once, it wasn't pretty at all
[09:24:32] <Jymmm> I think the al had oxided or something
[09:25:10] <Jymmm> the engraving tooling was brand new
[09:25:13] <archivist_herron> al does, it is also deliberate, anodising
[09:25:57] <Jymmm> Yeah, I just dont work with metal enough to know such a thing occures (at that time)
[09:26:27] <Jymmm> I just figured an engraving tool would cut right thru such things.
[09:28:22] <Jymmm> Heh, I STILL have NFC what/hw the "oxide" is/got there =)

[10:08:41] <archivist_herron> Jymmm, aluminium oxide= saphire = hard =
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_oxide
[10:14:36] <Jymmm> "is an electrical insulator"... HAd I known, would have been a easy test for oxide
[10:16:02] <Jymmm> Is there a easy way to remove the oxide, less smelting it?
[10:16:55] <Jymmm> Melts at 2K C?! Eeeeesh
[10:17:07] <archivist_herron> it forms instantly/quickly on al, it is why it stays shiny
[10:18:16] <Jymmm> This plate was dull/powderish in appearance, I just didn't give it no never mind.
[10:20:40] <Jymmm> I *think* I want to get into (personal) gunsmithing/creation, if for nothing else to see if I can. It's legal for personal-use, just need to read the details.
[10:21:47] <Jymmm> I'm more concerned about it blowing my head off because I don't know have enough metallurgy knowledge.
[10:24:19] <archivist_herron> chose a safer occupation
[10:26:18] <p0g0> yeah, that's not for beginners.

[12:38:46] -!- pingufan has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!]
[12:38:51] <frallzor> something that uses all axis in a nice manner
[12:39:31] <frallzor> a circled sine-curve woule be awesome =)
[12:40:01] <frallzor> or a spiraled sine-curve
[12:40:43] <r00t4rd3d> its not that kinda test
[12:41:04] <frallzor> then its not the kinda test i want =P
[12:41:27] <frallzor> I know what its for, just want something to check all axis at the same time
[12:41:35] <frallzor> see if that causes issues
[12:42:53] <Valen> G0 x100y100z100 G0 x0y0z0
[12:42:56] <Valen> lather and repeat
[12:43:29] <frallzor> not really a challenging test
[12:43:33] <jthornton> so make it do what you want
[12:43:37] <Valen> hint, you can queue up the next one whilst the last one is running
[12:43:54] <Valen> it'll test the butt out of your power supplies and drivers
[12:43:55] <frallzor> jthornton cant see how I would make a sine-curved circle =)
[12:44:05] <Valen> what error are you testing for
[12:44:20] <archivist_herron> spiral.ngc
[12:44:32] <Valen> archivist_herron: you seem to have a growth
[12:44:52] <archivist_herron> at a customers site
[12:45:08] <frallzor> lost steps during 3D-machining, want to push the same known program over and over and see what happens now when ive changed values
[12:45:40] <Valen> a set of rapids is more likley to expose errors than smooth circles
[12:45:43] <jthornton> o100 repeat [1000000]
[12:45:54] <jthornton> yep
[12:46:05] <archivist_herron> real machining adds load and friction
[12:46:10] <jthornton> rapids with 180 degree direction changes
[12:46:23] <Valen> also rapids in the same direction
[12:46:23] <frallzor> didnt lose steps when doing rapids
[12:46:24] <archivist_herron> remember to allow some headway
[12:46:30] <frallzor> in the middle of final pass on a detail
[12:46:59] <frallzor> 1-2mm of wood and like 2mm stepover
[12:47:15] <frallzor> not really lots of friction and load there

[15:35:22] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Hey, in regards to ignition sources, were you looking for reusable or mainly remote/electrical?
[15:36:49] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: and at what voltage?
[15:42:03] <JT-Shop> Jymmm: for the cannon or the potato gun?
[15:42:16] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: doesn't matter
[15:42:58] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: whats the fuel in the spud gun?
[15:44:29] <JT-Shop> White Rain
[15:44:43] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: power source?
[15:45:00] <JT-Shop> piezo
[15:45:30] <Jymmm> Oh, then why did you even mention spud gun as you already have an ignition source?
[15:45:37] <JT-Shop> "do you stil have the bike for sale?" 302 area code LOL they never give up
[15:45:59] <JT-Shop> well that was the last ignition thing I was wanting to improve
[15:46:18] <Jymmm> Hit it harder =)
[15:47:06] <Jymmm> So, you found igniters for the cannon already?
[15:49:30] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Get a small stun gun and retro fit it. They usually just use a 9V battery so that would be easy to mount.
[15:49:57] <Jymmm> Nice 1-2" spark gap should work nicely
[15:50:56] <Jymmm> Could just parallel up a few 9V batteries for extended usage
[15:50:58] <JT-Shop> I looked at that
[15:53:41] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: How long of fuse do you use INSIDE the cannon?
[15:55:08] <JT-Shop> 1 12/16"
[15:55:41] <Jymmm> 1.75"
[15:55:59] <JT-Shop> or less
[15:56:28] <Jymmm> 30s safety fuse?
[15:56:37] <JT-Shop> don't remember
[15:56:48] <Jymmm> But safety fuse at least?
[15:57:20] <JT-Shop> no clue, it came in a rubber band
[15:57:26] <Jymmm> lol
[15:57:56] <Jymmm> I got a few different types (all safety fuse) to try out.

[15:58:34] <Jymmm> of the cannon
[15:58:49] <ormandj> is the g0704 still the go-to machine for price vs. performance tradeoff re: home/garage metal mill? looking to get a cnc mill up and running, have been reading on cnczone, but figured some direct feedback could be useful
[15:59:17] <JT-Shop> gave up for now, other things in the fire
[15:59:37] <JT-Shop> is that a Griz?
[16:00:16] <ormandj> yeah
[16:00:30] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Ah, I could make them, but I'm not sure how to ship them. Since I get my fuses via USPS Ground, it should be ok to mail them if packed properly.
[16:01:02] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: What voltage? 12/13.8VDC ?
[16:01:07] <JT-Shop> ormandj: there seems to be some talk on the forum about a G0704
[16:01:25] <JT-Shop> Jymmm: want an apple... I'm going to get me one
[16:01:48] <ormandj> JT-Shop: it was/is a very popular mill for cnc conversions, just curious if it was still the 'best' tradeoff or not
[16:01:58] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Honey Crisp Apple
[16:02:17] <JT-Shop> I can't help with that all my machines are industrial sized
[16:02:19] <ormandj> Jymmm: fuji are better :p
[16:02:34] <JT-Shop> let me see what we have in the apple bowl
[16:02:45] <Jymmm> ormandj: If you have no taste, then sure.
[16:02:46] <ormandj> JT-Shop: yeah, tons of info re: the big boys, the little garage-fitting wonders are a little more confusing :)
[16:03:08] <ormandj> Jymmm: !! fuji are the sweetest, crispist apples, and last longer than the rest
[16:03:19] <ormandj> sweeter/crisper than honeycrisps
[16:03:52] <Jymmm> Any sweeter and I might as well go for pure sugar instead.
[16:04:06] <ormandj> haha, that is true :)
[16:04:22] <Jymmm> It's not always sweetness, but they have a good flavor too.
[16:04:43] <skunkworks> ormandj, if you have the room - buy a older cnc with a dead control and convert it to linuxcnc
[16:05:04] <Jymmm> And a nice compliment to extra sharp white cheddar.
[16:06:08] <skunkworks> Then you don't have to deal with ball screws, oiling, coolant control, yahda yada yada yoda
[16:07:15] <JT-Shop> looks like the apple of the day is Jazz
[16:07:21] <Jymmm> Did you know.... You CAN perform a private party firearms sale without an FFL/paperwork as long as both parties are resident of the same state legally.
[16:07:37] <jdh> for long guns
[16:07:57] <Jymmm> ANY
http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/unlicensed-persons.html#private-record-keeping
[16:09:03] <jdh> rest is state specific.
[16:09:57] <jdh> I can sell a handgun to an individual with no ATF/FFL, but there are state requirements for the purchaser

[16:11:24] <jdh> heh, .ca.us and .ma.us regs are the worst.

[21:06:31] <cncjerry> question is why the keyboard lags on jog, not only on this system, but on my old system (the one that died)
[21:06:51] <cncjerry> so why is the jog not consistent on both of these systems?
[21:07:34] <cncjerry> I made a change to Axis so that ctr+arrow keys do an incremental jog, and that has nothing to do with it as I have commented those lines and it fails the same way.
[21:07:54] <cncjerry> the old version 2.3 didn't have this sticky jog problem.
[21:08:01] <cncjerry> it started with the later release.
[21:08:26] <ReadError> what is your latency like?
[21:08:39] <cncjerry> when I looked at it after upgrading several months ago, everyone on here thought it was my computer or usb keyboard. now that I changed computers, it should be a non-issue
[21:09:03] <cncjerry> the last time I looked at this problem everyone thought it was latency
[21:09:35] <ReadError> yea but what kinda numbers are you getting
[21:10:22] <cncjerry> I can go run it, but yesterday everyone thought they were fine when I posted them from the shuttle before installing it today.
[21:11:18] <cncjerry> both the old and new machines act exactly the same. jog is inconsistent. so if I tap the arrow, I will get a bunch of moves like .01" and then a .5" with the same type of key press
[21:12:10] <ReadError> what if you set it to jog .01"
[21:12:15] <ReadError> will it still do that?
[21:13:41] <cncjerry> if I use ctrl+key (as in the mod I made to axis) it will jog exactly that amount every time, it just isn't timed consistently
[21:14:12] <micges> cncjerry: try different keyb
[21:15:02] <micges> maybe some key repeating problem on which Axis continiuos jogging depends
[21:15:10] <cncjerry> so I will be holding ctrl and tapping the arrow and it will be sneaking up on an edge using a finder and then it will hang for a few milliseconds and then move. so what happens is you think it didn't register the .001 jog, hit it again, and it moves the .001 plus .001 again.
[21:15:33] <cncjerry> but it happens on two different computers.
[21:15:42] <cncjerry> wildly different computers
[21:15:53] <micges> ah
[21:15:53] <cncjerry> with different keyboards. so it is a bug in something
[21:16:07] <cncjerry> it all started when I went to the latest version.
[21:16:33] <cncjerry> at first w thuoght latency, then usb vs ps2 keyboard.
[21:16:42] <cncjerry> tried both on both computers.
[21:17:41] <cncjerry> so the upgrade was a nightmare to begin with, I did it as I was running 2.3 (which was great) and wanted some of the path control changes.
[21:17:58] <micges> same lcnc setup on both pc?
[21:18:05] <cncjerry> same machine
[21:18:31] <cncjerry> different parallel part cards, but everything post parallel port is the same.

[21:28:59] <cncjerry> k
[21:30:00] <cncjerry> what I can't figure, and I am going back down to the shop to see, is why I would be the only person with this problem?
[21:30:32] <cncjerry> the machine I was running on was a 2.9ghz pretty powerful machine with 4gb memory, etc.
[21:31:51] <micges> most error are config dependant
[21:35:11] <cncjerry> the max jitter is 5000 and 15000 on the latency test on this machine.
[21:35:21] <cncjerry> where does that come into play in configuration?
[21:35:59] <cncjerry> this machine has high CPR quad encoders with a high ratio servo so it is like 40,000 CPS per inch.
[21:36:36] <cncjerry> I am using the same configuration on this computer as the other so it could be the problem.
[21:36:40] <cncjerry> what would I adjust?
[21:36:52] <micges> jitter is dependant on io amount
[21:36:59] -!- skunkworks has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[21:37:32] <micges> you said it is parport setup?
[21:38:19] <cncjerry> yes parport with servo motors
[21:38:33] <cncjerry> also, this is the same config i used under 2.3 that worked.
[21:38:49] <cncjerry> so something changed from 2.3 to current release
[21:39:02] <cncjerry> also, where is halscope?
[21:39:16] <micges> menu machine->halscope
[21:40:59] <cncjerry> so with my jitter numbers being high (assumed) what would I change in the config? I can slow the machine down I guess. I think the max is set to 60ipm on this machine but I rarely use that speed, never under program control.
[21:41:26] <cncjerry> I have run it at 300 ipm but decide to just slow it down as the machine shook so bad.

[21:48:49] <cncjerry> I just tried some incremental moves using the function from Axis opposed to my axis mods. it does the same thing, where you press the key slowly it moves perfectly, if you press it fast, I get a bunch of moves that are fine then it pauses and catches up.
[21:52:12] -!- chopper79 has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[21:56:58] <cncjerry> and motion control.time on halscope had spikes all over it.

[21:58:03] <micges> what values?
[21:59:51] <cncjerry> I didn't look at values but the average looked flat and the spikes where about 4 to 5 blocks higher on the scope.
[22:00:12] <cncjerry> should I just lower my max speed on this thing?
[22:00:31] <cncjerry> are there any other config parameters I should play with given the latency numbers?

[22:01:21] <jdh> you have high res quad encoders on p-port?
[22:01:41] <cncjerry> yes
[22:01:49] <jdh> how high?
[22:01:50] cevad is now known as davec
[22:01:51] <cncjerry> they worked fine on version 2.3
[22:02:20] <cncjerry> they are 500cpr in quad, so they are 2000 per rev,
[22:02:31] -!- tjb1 has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
[22:02:32] <cncjerry> the motors are geared up about 5 to 1
[22:02:36] tjb1_ is now known as tjb1
[22:02:50] <cncjerry> maybe 4 to 1,
[22:03:12] <cncjerry> so that is 8k per rev with a 10 to 1 screw. or 80k
[22:03:23] <cncjerry> but that sounds high for some reason.
[22:03:33] <DJ9DJ> gn8
[22:03:45] <jdh> whole thing sounds high for a p-port
[22:03:46] <cncjerry> according to the wiki, the base period might be set to low in config
[22:04:06] <cncjerry> sounds high, but like I keep saying, it worked under 2.3 perfectly for like 6 yrs
[22:04:15] <jdh> same kernel?
[22:04:20] -!- DJ9DJ has quit [Quit: bye]
[22:04:47] <cncjerry> no, when I upgraded to the latest I did a complete new install
[22:04:59] <cncjerry> so the new kernel is in there
[22:06:06] <cncjerry> I am trying to find out how the base_period is set by the step config wizard based on jitter.
[22:06:21] <cncjerry> this would limit my max speed I believe but that is fine.

[22:07:21] <skunkworks> You don't want any
[22:07:40] <cncjerry> after that, none and I get very few except when hitting the jog continuosly fast.

[22:23:08] <cncjerry> I changed base period from 20,000 to 30,000 this gave me following errors on 60ipm rapids. so I lowered the max_velocity to 48ipm and it seems a little better.
[22:24:37] <cncjerry> so I dont know it this is the problem or not, as I said, version 2.3 ran perfectly with this config for years, at one point with the old machine, I had max_velocity up to 300ipm and it ran fine except the machine was taking a beating on vector changes.
[22:24:41] <cncjerry> so I don't get it.
[22:25:25] <cncjerry> I might reinstall the old release on another drive just to check it out.
[22:25:42] <micges> it seems that you have worse latencies on both pc
[22:26:08] <cncjerry> micges, I don't disagree, but why only on the new release?
[22:26:31] <cncjerry> It ran 5x faster on version 2.3 with no errors.
