[00:01:36] <spiderdijon> it does stop - the homing does work, im just wondering why changing the acceleration is effecting the behavior after the switches are triggered. Same homing velocity, lower acc crashes, higher does not.
[00:03:07] <cradek> well if the acceleration is lower, you have to move farther to come to a stop
[00:03:14] <tjtr33> just thinking out loud... if the homing method requires reversal, then it must decell to 0, the reverse, and IF the accel requires a huge distance, then i slide way past the switch looking back at the second baseman :)
[00:03:21] <cradek> I don't see that this has anything to do with homing at all
[00:03:26] <spiderdijon> yes put the acc is software controlled in this case right?

[00:04:01] <spiderdijon> the physical acc of the machine is fixed, I'm only changing the value in the ini
[00:04:31] <tjtr33> pyscial acc is not whats known to the control system, the specified acc is
[00:04:37] <cradek> the stepgen manpage says if enable is false, no steps are generated. I would check with halscope to determine whether this is really true
[00:04:55] <spiderdijon> good idea, i will look at that
[00:05:03] <cradek> if you abruptly stop the steps, you WILL lose machine position
[00:05:25] <spiderdijon> yes that makes sense
[00:05:28] <cradek> that means you will have to rehome, and since you don't have encoders and index, you may not get exactly the same origin
[00:05:39] <cradek> you must pick your poison
[00:05:58] <spiderdijon> ok that clears it up for me, thanks for your time
[00:06:04] <cradek> it would probably be better to adjust your switches so you have room for a controlled stop at whatever acceleration setting you end up using
[00:06:38] <cradek> it is arguable whether turning off stepgen.enable should abruptly stop stepping, or come to a controlled stop
[00:07:05] <cradek> you could use halscope to see which of those it is doing, and file a bug report if you think it's the wrong one, being aware the whole time that half of the people will disagree with you :-)
[00:07:06] <spiderdijon> it was the reasoning for following a profile on the limit trigger which was getting me, but ofc it needs to use it to keep track of position
[00:07:24] <spiderdijon> i'll modify the switches to support the lower acc
[00:07:33] <cradek> yes if you want to maintain position you have no choice but to decel in a controlled way
[00:07:40] <cradek> I bet that's the best answer
[00:07:54] <spiderdijon> yeah seems so, thanks for helping
[00:07:57] <cradek> once you're homed you will have soft limits in effect and you should never hit the switches anyway
[00:09:16] <cradek> (I can see an argument for stepgen stopping abruptly: if you ever hit the limit switch on a correctly configured machine, you have ALREADY lost position, losing it again is no sacrifice)
[00:09:36] <spiderdijon> yes that was my original thinking
[00:10:00] <cradek> I'm not sure how I feel but I can see it's pretty debatable either way
[00:10:18] <tjtr33> "<spiderdijon> about 10mm from when in is triggered to the chassis" the accel was low enuf to allow covering 10mm distance?
[00:10:54] <cradek> I agree, if so, that seems like an incorrectly-low accel setting
[00:11:08] <tjtr33> dang low, slower than me :)
[00:11:20] <spiderdijon> that does seem wrong actually...
[00:11:30] <spiderdijon> ah
[00:11:40] <cradek> unnecessarily low accel settings cause bad performance in all sorts of different ways. be sure you have it as high as possible.
[00:12:33] <spiderdijon> the far limit switch is a bit bent out of place from the crashing, (it's the one it homes to) so it is less distance, makes more sense now :D
[00:13:05] <spiderdijon> either way I'm sorted for what I need to change
[00:15:13] <tjtr33> why are you varying the accel? measure it and record it a bit conservatively in the ini. no guessing allowed :)

[03:43:39] <gene77> silly Q: I have the bearing adjustment nut quite tight on this chinese C7 screw, and my carriage is snugged up to needing about 100 pounds to move it. It is exhibiting about 0.006" of end play despite the tight preload. Bad bearings? Stiff carraige?
[03:46:08] <gene77> I put a dial on the far end too, its 0.0045" there, probably on both ends because the drive end was a finger dial & wasn't dead square.

[03:48:35] <jdh> slop in the screw/bearing, or in the nut/screw?
[03:50:56] <gene77> I am reading the end play of the screw in the bearings
[03:51:37] <L84Supper> http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/theflexiscaleco/3d-printed-kits-of-the-ffestiniog-englands-from-la
[03:51:39] <jdh> pre-made bearing block?
[03:51:59] <L84Supper> working models would be nicer, but it's a nice start
[03:52:08] <gene77> yes, came with the screw
[03:53:15] <gene77> I took 0.140" off the bottom of it to put it pretty close to the old ones position, and lapped it flat again
[03:53:21] <L84Supper> lots of those blocks come with just standard ball bearings, not thrust or angular
[03:53:28] <gene77> one both blocks
[03:53:35] <gene77> oneboth blocks
[03:53:41] <gene77> on both blocks
[03:54:06] <gene77> should I yell at the vendor?
[03:54:21] <jdh> captured on both ends?
[03:54:54] <L84Supper> I've gotten bearings from there that had *detents* in them
[03:54:54] <gene77> no, just the driven end
[03:55:43] <gene77> tail end floats in housing
[03:55:54] <jdh> I'd pull it out and check that the nut->bearing->block is acutally touching
[03:57:32] <gene77> That will be fun, but do-able tomorrow, The load nut seems to be coming up solidly
[03:58:00] <jdh> then where is the slop
[03:59:21] <gene77> still there whn the nut is tight
[04:00:11] <gene77> and I just backed the nut off about 1/16", no chagne?
[04:01:07] <jdh> magic!
[04:01:26] <jdh> tap it with a hammer.
[04:03:11] <gene77> solid, can't drive it back thru the bearings with a reasonable tap
[04:04:26] <jdh> sounds like maybe the bearing isn't seated on the screw?
[04:05:20] <jdh> guess if it is bound, you wouldn't know and it probably wouldn't matter.
[04:05:33] <gene77> Something like that, I got out a rod and moved it about 40 thou, but the play is the same
[04:05:50] <jdh> so the bearing is moving in the block?
[04:08:48] <gene77> Dunno, I just pulled the nut up tight again, and pulled the screw back to its original position again, but the play is still there, so either there is sleeve between the bearing hubs that tool long
[04:09:37] <gene77> or something fubar. It doesn't come tight like its crushing bearings, but come solid when its tight
[04:10:06] <gene77> Dunno, I just pulled the nut up tight again, and pulled the screw back to its original position again, but the play is still there, so either there is sleeve between the bearing hubs that too long
[04:10:45] <gene77> So I guess I'll take it apart tomorrow and see what I can learn.
[04:11:15] <jdh> that's half the fun.
[04:13:22] <gene77> Yup. Looks like I can take it apart without dismounting. The major ajdjustment when putting it back together is in the taper hub I made for ther drive gear, I have to adjust the draw bolts for minimum runout.
[04:14:31] <gene77> Thanks for the shoulder to cry on. ;-)
[04:15:21] <jdh> I had to add an extra washer to mine due to a slight mismeasure.
[04:18:57] -!- gmag has quit [Quit: Enough small talk...]
[04:35:17] <gene77> That looks like the cure here too, there is no spacer between the bearing inners
[04:41:47] <gene77> They are axial load balls, but I'm not impressed with the finish. Where can I get a 12 bore, 14mm OD washer, .15 mm thick?
[04:49:08] -!- zzolo has quit [Quit: zzolo]
[04:49:21] <jdh> mcmaster
[04:50:16] <jdh> they are only thrust bearings?
[04:53:35] <gene77> the races are at an angle, but not a large one, centers look the same on both sides, the outers are 28mm od, 23.75 on one face for id, and 25.7 on the opposite side
[04:56:53] <gene77> If I can shim the inners .15mm, that would about do it. I'll see if the local auto parts dweebs still know what shim stock is these days tomorrow. .15mm or 5 thou, I'm not that fussy. :)
[04:58:20] <gene77> Worst part is probably having to revive my edm lashup to cut it. :(
[04:58:23] <jdh> angular contact bearings
[04:59:01] <gene77> I guess thats what you'd call them.
[05:00:26] <gene77> Midnight, no beauty sleep tonight, and at 78, I could sure use some. :) Good night & thanks

[15:39:53] <fragalot> SUCCESS
[15:40:11] <fragalot> I managed to fix my mill's bow issue on milled surfaces
[15:41:03] <fragalot> turns out it was because the X rods being held in place with bolts & a lock washer
[15:41:09] <fragalot> removed the lock washer, problem solved.
[15:42:56] <fragalot> table is still bowed though, and now it also appears to have issues with missing steps, but i'm blaming the super shitty chinese driver for that
[15:43:15] <r00t4rd3d> tb6560?
[15:44:24] <archivist> if your shafts are not parallel it will be stiff and need more force causing missed steps
[15:45:19] <fragalot> archivist: it's more due to heat issues
[15:45:40] <fragalot> I can move the carriage by blowing on it, so that's certainly notit
[15:45:52] <archivist> if it was not happening before...why blame heat
[15:46:07] <Tecan> http://www.richsoil.com/rocket-stove-mass-heater.jsp
[15:46:21] <fragalot> archivist: because i've never ran it this long because it never worked right
[15:46:37] <fragalot> this long being over 10 minutes continuously
[15:47:04] <fragalot> r00t4rd3d: dno, came in an unmarked aluminium box
[15:47:09] <archivist> add fan/heatsink to stepper drivers
[15:47:13] <fragalot> archivist: the missing steps also happen in random locations
[15:47:17] <fragalot> archivist: Aye
[15:47:48] <archivist> also reduce top speed and acceleration rate a bit
[15:48:33] <fragalot> did that
[15:49:02] <fragalot> waiting for it to cool down & see if i could turn down the current a little to help with heat
[15:49:24] <archivist> any alignment issues stepper to screw
[15:49:41] <archivist> or screw stiffness
[15:49:58] <fragalot> the screw is supported on both ends, later today I had planned to take the support bearing out

[16:10:24] <fragalot> r00t4rd3d: LN298N's - I should be able to heatsink them nicely..
[16:10:57] <fragalot> or I could just use my own controller instead.. bit bulkier compared to this one, but much more potent
[16:12:31] <mrsun> or buy a better controler :P
[16:16:05] <fragalot> mrsun: yea :P
[16:16:24] <mrsun> those only go half step dont they ?
[16:16:36] <mrsun> or the LN298 isnt that jus the h-bridge ?
[16:16:47] <fragalot> that's just the H bridge
[16:17:00] <archivist> needs the 297 too
[16:17:02] <mrsun> paired with 297
[16:17:06] <mrsun> it does half step right ?
[16:18:04] <archivist> yes
[16:18:40] <archivist> just happened to be cataloguing the SGS databook today so on the pile on the desk
[16:18:46] <fragalot> I do have a pololu board laying about but using that one for my printer and I don't really want to cannibalize it :P
[16:19:02] <mrsun> but isnt the L298 "stackable" so you can make them handle more current? :)
[16:19:08] <mrsun> alas, less heat :P
[16:19:42] <fragalot> mrsun: *or* I could just lob on a small heatsink
[16:19:46] <fragalot> (atm they have none in the chinese controler)

[16:25:35] <fragalot> that's the whole idea behind the term "mass"

[16:25:50] <fragalot> That said, I love the simplicity, yet efficiency of a rocket stove
[16:26:00] <Jymmm> fragalot: My SUV is "mass", but still dont weight THAT much
[16:26:01] <fragalot> r00t4rd3d: enjoy!: :)
[16:26:05] <r00t4rd3d> clean the fins up also
[16:26:10] <fragalot> Jymmm: your SUV isn't made out of solid cob
[16:26:21] <Jymmm> fragalot: Not sure about that
[16:26:30] <fragalot> lol
[16:27:12] <fragalot> Jymmm: that said it's only as heavy as you want it
[16:27:25] <fragalot> the reason for the mass is so that it keeps giving off heat for a long period of time after it's run out of wood
[16:27:33] <fragalot> if you want instant response, don't use any cob
[16:27:43] <Jymmm> Tecan:

[16:32:46] <Jymmm> or a narrow pellet feed and 3x larger air feed with dampener
[16:33:04] <Tom_itx> $3-5 a bag costs more than natural gas doesn't it?
[16:33:19] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: they burn very sowly
[16:33:32] <Tom_itx> half bag a day?
[16:33:33] <Jymmm> almost 100% effeciant
[16:33:49] <Tom_itx> boils down to the bottom cost line
[16:34:16] <fragalot> I quite like gas for several very simple reasons
[16:34:20] <fragalot> a) no storage
[16:34:21] <Jymmm> Well, the biggest pellet producre I know of is in AZ
[16:34:21] <fragalot> b) no mess
[16:34:28] <Tecan> thats the whole idea of the rocket stove it burns more of the wood
[16:34:31] <fragalot> c) it's just there when you want it
[16:34:41] <fragalot> Tecan: it also burns the wood gas
[16:34:44] <fragalot> which is the important bit

[16:35:23] <fragalot> :<
[16:36:21] <Jymmm> Tecan: I bet you you extended the intake/exhaust, and have them both on the same side, might get better effeciancy
[16:37:21] <archivist> as heat rises how are you supposed to light it and start it running, I see no exhaust fan
[16:37:22] <fragalot> why would the intake need to be extended?
[16:37:52] <Jymmm> fragalot: Just turn yourself into the police already
[16:37:55] <fragalot> archivist: you shove some paper down deep to get the flow going & build up your fire
[16:38:20] <Tecan> theres videos on the link i posted
[16:38:25] <Jymmm> archivist: convection
[16:38:27] <Tecan> lots of them
[16:38:40] <L84Supper> isn't the final exhaust temp supposed to be as close to the input temp as possible for maximum efficiency?
[16:38:41] <fragalot> Jymmm: I've built several rocket stoves - the intake length isn't as important as the exhaust one
[16:39:00] <Jymmm> fragalot: Go rob a bank
[16:39:02] <Tecan> fragalot have pics ?
[16:39:03] <fragalot> L84Supper: Yes.
[16:39:31] <fragalot> Tecan: not really, most of it was made out of scraps & rebuilt several times before I decided that gas was so much easier than hauling wood around, and a lot less messy :P
[16:40:05] <fragalot> I really should document the things i do a bit more :/
[16:40:32] <Tecan> where did you first readabout it ?
[16:40:53] <fragalot> stumbled on it when I was researching woodgas stoves
[16:42:03] <Tecan> ever seen a stirling engine made out of 2 45 gal drums ?
[16:42:30] <fragalot> Tecan: where the hell did you find that?
[16:42:31] <fragalot> :D
[16:43:02] <Tecan> never seen one always wanted to make one
[16:43:09] <Jymmm> fragalot: He saw it at a bank he robbed, you should too
[16:43:34] <fragalot> I started working on making a flame licker engine, then my friends' lathe broke and I've never really continued since then
[16:43:36] <L84Supper> http://phys.org/news/2013-02-fujifilm-thermoelectric-material.html they don't have a real spec (so it's BS)

[16:44:12] <fragalot> Jymmm: i've had plenty of opportunity to do so in the past, but i'm so rich that I don't see why I would bother
[16:44:30] <L84Supper> are there any natural gas powered stirling engines for sale?
[16:44:42] <Jymmm> fragalot: So you're a cheap bastard and bought a crappy controller instead?
[16:45:04] <fragalot> L84Supper: stirling engine is powered by any gas really - it's based on thermal expansion, not combustion
[16:45:18] <fragalot> Jymmm: I wasn't rich back then
[16:45:22] <Jymmm> lol
[16:45:26] <L84Supper> yes, I know, I'd just like to buy one ~5KW

[17:20:16] <Jymmm> Tecan: I mean, if you are going to go thru the trouble of building a rocket mass heater, incorporating TE Coolers if for nothing else free lighting or recharging a battery doesn't seem like a bad idea.

[18:40:47] <L84Supper> machine tools are cheap in China, same for welders
[18:41:11] <L84Supper> 150A TIG for $100
[18:41:30] <L84Supper> 400 A stick, $160
[18:42:42] <L84Supper> if it lasts a year and buy a new one for 5 it's still less than new MIller

[18:45:05] <fragalot> I've got a cheap Contimac TIG/stick combo 160A, and a 160A LasTek tig/stick combo
[18:45:21] <fragalot> the lastek one costed around 5x what the contimac one did, but i'll take the lastek with me any day
[18:45:31] <fragalot> it just works so much nicer

[18:46:09] <fragalot> (lastek is a Rehms rebrand)
[18:46:22] <L84Supper> if I need two pieces of metal stuck together I'll use just about anything, but if i want a nice pattern it's usually on a good welder blue/red or white
[18:46:51] <fragalot> it's not only the pattern, it's how stable and consistent the arc is
[18:46:59] <andypugh> I always liked the look of the Rehm Tiger, but not the price :-)
[18:47:01] <fragalot> and how tight it can keep it
[18:47:09] <fragalot> andypugh: yeah :P there's one thing I really dislike about it though
[18:47:19] <fragalot> andypugh: it's perfect, EXCEPT for the pulse setting not going faster than 10Hz
[18:47:30] <fragalot> so it's too fucking annoying to use and never gets used
[18:47:41] <andypugh> I like to have a welder that is motorbike portable :-)
[18:48:06] <L84Supper> it's crazy the stuff you see on bikes there
[18:48:34] <L84Supper> or a moped-like with a trailer piled with pipe 2 meters high
[18:48:35] <andypugh> fragalot: I'll give you £100 for the Tiger :-)
[18:48:37] <fragalot> I've got the old model of this thing that I take with me to places where I just KNOW it's going to take a beating:
http://www.contimac.be/nl/product/412342232671457/tig/tig-dc-professional/tig-160-dc-lift
[18:49:06] <fragalot> it works, but it's a right bugger to keep a tight arc with it
[18:49:22] <fragalot> andypugh: lolno
[18:49:51] <tjtr33> andypugh, mount the welder in the side car of a Chiang Jiang ( chinese R75 )
[18:50:48] <fragalot> andypugh: I paid 2500 euro for the tiger, including a spare torch, full compact argon bottle (don't know the size, but it's about 1 meter tall), SMAW torch, 3M helmet, goat leather gloves, the box, and a stack of 1613, and 307 TIG rods
[18:50:54] <fragalot> andypugh: can't complain ^_^
[18:55:01] <andypugh> I ended up with a "Rehmann" welder from eBay. (I found that the Italians bid lowest ;-)
[18:55:32] <andypugh> It's fine. I have only actually used it a dozen times in the 3 years, so I am glad i didn't pay more.
[18:56:26] <tjtr33> andypugh, they were r71 copies from dies taken from the russians

[18:59:09] <archivist> I want a ride on it
[19:02:05] <andypugh> So do I :-)
[19:03:26] <tjtr33> neracar! museum stuff sit on it like on a sofa
[19:11:38] <mikegg> If I put two 12v fans in series with a 24v power supply, will I fry something?
[19:12:17] <archivist> depends if the fans are identical and some luck
[19:13:16] <mikegg> ok, they are the same. Not big or expensive. Just wondering if it was worth a shot...
[19:13:31] <mikegg> I seem to be frying a lot of things lately
[19:14:50] <gene77> Ok, wiki falls over again...
[19:15:08] <archivist> at initial turn on one may take more current than the other so the voltage will not be balanced, the other will be over voltage to an unknown extent
[19:15:11] <gene77> Max limit on a lathe, is in radius, or diameter?
[19:15:23] <pcw_home> I'd worry about what power was first applied but they should balance when running (they might need a bypass cap across each one)
[19:15:44] <pcw_home> s/what/when/
[19:16:53] <archivist> I suppose a couple of 12.something zeners could help
[19:17:01] <mikegg> whats the bypass cap do? dump some current to ground / next fan when you first cut power on?
[19:18:19] <pcw_home> The fans are designed to run from a low impedance supply, you lose this when you have another fan in series
[19:19:19] <archivist> here's hoping the caps are balanced better than the motors
[19:19:35] <pcw_home> But this is just guessing (where does the inductive energy go what a winding is turned off)
[19:20:02] <pcw_home> normally back into the power supply...
[19:20:15] <mikegg> argh? I thought impedance is an AC term. When working with DC it's just resistance
[19:20:28] <gene77> testing says radius
[19:20:48] <pcw_home> DC fans represent a dynamic load
[19:21:02] -!- bedah2 has quit [Quit: bye]
[19:21:24] <pcw_home> They both absorb and dump energy back into the power supply
[19:21:39] <mikegg> gotcha
[19:22:00] <mikegg> but in this case that could be the other fan
[19:22:30] <mikegg> so if the phases align the wrong way you could get problems
[19:22:33] <pcw_home> And because they are usually very cheap I would not expect them to have much if any bypass capacitance
[19:24:13] <mikegg> what size bypass cap would be appropriate?
[19:24:21] <archivist> one could make a low impedance mid rail with an opamp and capacitors or something
[19:25:46] <pcw_home> Or if you have spares do the smoke experiment :)
[19:25:50] <mikegg> I'd have an easier time selling myself as a day laborer long enough to buy 24 volt fans
[19:27:00] <tjtr33> is the fpga on m5i20 Spartan 3? ( will Pong P Chu's book FPGA Programming by vhdl examples be useful? )
[19:28:08] <pcw_home> 5I20 is spartan2, 5I21,22,23, 7I43 are Spartan3, 5I25/6I25/7I80 are Spartan6
[19:28:17] <archivist> pnp and an npn two diodes and two resistors and a couple of caps
[19:29:04] <tjtr33> thx just found it was 2
[19:29:22] <pcw_home> or just try in series (I wonder what the absolute max the will take is?)
[19:29:56] <pcw_home> 5I20 is quite old (last of the 5V tolerant FPGAs)
[19:30:11] <archivist> if one fails short the other will go faster :)

[19:47:56] <tjtr33> thx
[19:48:55] <fragalot> the only trick you need to keep in mind when it comes to FPGA's is that you're describing hardware, not programming software
[19:49:08] <fragalot> it might sound obvious but the way you do things is significantly different

[19:49:23] <fragalot> once you make that click, it's pretty easy :)
[19:49:51] <pcw_home> yes its parallel (but I started from a hardware perspective so it was easy for me)
[19:51:51] <pcw_home> The thing that was hard for me to grasp at first was the serial program structures in the HLL (like loops) were only compile time generators of parallel logic

[22:01:54] <toastyde2th> minecraft or irl
[22:02:14] <andypugh> Either, but please answe rhetorically :-)
[22:02:48] <andypugh> (Kraken's blood is the most valuable commodity in YPP Puzzle Pirates)
[22:03:07] <L84Supper> anything with pixie dust
