[01:13:41] <tjb1> as tight as I could get them
[01:13:51] <tjb1> infact I am buying springs right now to keep them right
[01:13:53] <tjb1> *tight
[01:14:14] <tjb1> www.mcmaster.com/#9271K635

[02:44:35] <mrsun> yeah, always fun to see stuff move =)

[02:45:00] <AR__> and it does
[02:45:09] <AR__> only*
[02:45:15] <AR__> wtf weird typo

[02:47:51] <AR__> yeah, stepper motors are pretty powerful little things at low speeds
[02:48:10] <mrsun> to make sure i have the power and not lose steps
[02:48:12] <AR__> yeah
[02:48:24] <mrsun> or i have to put on an encoder

[02:55:44] <AR__> how much did it cost
[02:55:46] <tjb1> jogit

[02:56:24] <tjb1> Im going to put USB at each end of my extrusions
[02:56:27] <tjb1> so I can just plug it in anywhere
[02:56:28] <AR__> bleh
[02:56:49] <tjb1> http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1651082654/jog-it-open-source-controller-pendant-for-emc2-and

[03:01:27] <ReadError> useful for a big router/plasma though
[03:01:31] <tjb1> ReadError: http://www.amazon.com/Sunon-40x40x20mm-pin-fan-KDE1204PKVX/dp/B006ODM76C/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

[03:06:58] <tjb1> Im going to put 4 plugs on it that go into a usb hub then to the comp
[03:07:02] <tjb1> plug the pendant in anywhere
[03:09:06] <ReadError> why not just 1 extension cable where you can walk all the way around
[03:09:10] <ReadError> 4 seems like an overkill
[03:09:26] <tjb1> because I want a port at each end
[03:09:30] <tjb1> lol
[03:09:31] <ReadError> at most 2
[03:09:33] <ReadError> 1 on each end

[03:09:52] <tjb1> about 6
[03:10:02] <ReadError> so yea that would give you plenty of room to move with it
[03:10:07] <tjb1> it cuts a sheet 4' wide

[05:57:22] <tjtr33> re gladevcp: i have data files for edm, (on off current tragetVoltage cuttime jumptime oberflache untermass...)
[05:57:29] <tjtr33> I can read the files and set them hardware using python already,
[05:57:29] <tjtr33> but want to display it to user and allow him to change the data as well. can gladevcp help do this?
[05:59:21] -!- nOStahl has quit [Quit: nOStahl]
[06:00:45] <tjtr33> i suppose the q is, 1)can data be read from a file and displayed in gladevcp.
[06:00:53] <tjtr33> then, 2)can that date be edited, and the change event re-write the hardware

[20:47:28] <roh> if i would be paying money for sw, i'd never pay for non-native.
[20:47:38] <roh> but the parametric thing is much more important.

[20:50:24] <roh> micges: tried lots of those already... but its usually a lot of manual work or half-done sw.
[20:50:43] <roh> micges: so i was hoping of finding someone who actually USES a parametric cam somewhere.
[20:51:02] <micges> try on emc list
[20:51:17] <micges> there are much more users there
[20:51:52] <roh> i even evaluated cambam since i currently have 2.5d stuff to do.. but then it crashed the hell out of me on simple dxf files and i gave up on it.
[20:52:10] <r00t4rd3d> what exactly do you mean by parametric? example?
[20:52:32] <ReadError> i think its where you can change stuff symmetrically
[20:52:37] <roh> micges: actually i am kinda surprised.. emc2 is such a nice foss solution to a real world problem, but the cam seems like a minefield of broken parts
[20:52:54] <ReadError> or like change grow/shrink a dimension
[20:52:59] <ReadError> alot of the 3d printer stuff is like that

[20:53:35] <ReadError> but now that i have a better understanding, im much better with it
[20:53:37] <roh> r00t4rd3d: my cad files are made parametric more often than not. so i want my cam also have that feature. change settings anywhere, rerun the whole shebang and be able to have a reproduceable result.
[20:53:57] <ReadError> roh: solidworks plugin
[20:54:05] <roh> ReadError: sure. but i need to get away from manually working over every line of gcode in the end. (which is what i currently do)
[20:54:06] <ReadError> like with hsmxpress
[20:54:09] <ReadError> you can change the part
[20:54:18] <ReadError> and it will re-do the gcode
[20:54:24] <roh> ReadError: no win32, no 2k euro sw.
[20:54:51] <ReadError> well i hate to tell you, but if you want a decent/free linux cam package, you might be SOL
[20:54:59] <t12> speaking of cam
[20:55:00] <ReadError> theres heekscnc
[20:55:03] <t12> anyone have much hsmworks expirence?
[20:55:18] <roh> the last few milling jobs i generated the toolpath with heeks and manally hacked that up to be useable
[20:55:20] <ReadError> t12: I use the free one
[20:55:21] <ReadError> whats up
[20:55:40] <ReadError> my uhh, demo expired for the full version
[20:55:41] <t12> i keep running into situations where
[20:55:45] <roh> the heeks-toolpathes are slow as hell.. why do i need to remove the millhead for every layer of a simple hole etc ;)
[20:55:46] <t12> say i have a 1/2" endmill
[20:55:54] <t12> and i'm taking a 1/4" cut off the edge of a 1" cube
[20:56:05] <t12> the stock is defiend as that 1" cube
[20:56:14] <t12> it hates to path cuts like that
[20:56:21] <ReadError> yea make the stock bigger
[20:56:25] <t12> and i end up having to draw say, a big sketch
[20:56:26] <ReadError> its strange about that
[20:56:29] <t12> and then machinet to the sketch
[20:56:34] <t12> theres no simple way around this?
[20:56:52] <ReadError> well i think it will try to stay within the stock contours
[20:56:54] <t12> like jsut make a fake oversized stock, and put the origin on the real stock?
[20:57:05] <ReadError> i put my origin on the part
[20:57:08] <ReadError> not the stock
[20:57:18] <t12> ahh ok
[20:57:23] <t12> i will try with bigger stock
[20:57:28] <t12> i've been liking hsmworks alot
[20:57:36] <ReadError> you got the full version?
[20:57:38] <t12> but i've been doing small things and that gets max annoying
[20:57:38] <t12> nah
[20:57:44] <ReadError> xpress?
[20:57:44] <t12> by hsmworks i mean hsmxpress
[20:57:47] <ReadError> yea
[20:57:53] <t12> i played with a pirated version of hsmworks
[20:57:53] <ReadError> it works great for being free software
[20:58:02] <t12> hilariosuly it works fine, then when you try and reload something you did
[20:58:04] <t12> it wont let you
[20:58:05] <t12> bur
[20:58:06] <t12> burn
[20:58:07] <ReadError> yea
[20:58:10] <ReadError> thats how they get you ;)
[20:58:18] <ReadError> it will let you invest some time
[20:58:20] <ReadError> then shit bricks
[20:58:33] <t12> maybe i can score an academic copy or something
[20:58:36] <ReadError> and getting it to go again is a PITA
[20:58:43] <ReadError> you have to change your computer clock, reactivate
[20:58:50] <ReadError> it will do a few more generations
[20:58:58] <ReadError> also, theres a bug with drilling
[20:59:06] <t12> (uhoh)
[20:59:06] <ReadError> i always have to add G0 after my last hole
[20:59:15] <ReadError> otherwise linuxcnc wont load the file
[20:59:29] <r00t4rd3d> roh what are you making?
[20:59:34] <t12> ah right now this is all in mach3 and a tormach
[20:59:36] <r00t4rd3d> door panel or something
[20:59:39] <t12> mach3 has some fun bugs
[20:59:45] <t12> like with the tormach wheel controller
[20:59:46] <roh> r00t4rd3d: different stuff. some front panels lately
[20:59:55] <t12> i think its a debounce problem but if you do stuff too fast
[21:00:05] <roh> r00t4rd3d: black anodized aluminium, drilled, milled and then laser engraved
[21:00:06] <t12> it will just drift one of the axis slowly once you let go sometimes
[21:00:10] <ReadError> never tried mach3 but in a vm
[21:00:18] <ReadError> didnt care for it much
[21:00:22] <t12> i had it ignore a limit switch once
[21:00:25] <t12> and just keep driving z up
[21:00:40] <t12> restart of mach3, machine, and it was fine
[21:01:07] <t12> i'm just using it cause its what this machine is setup with, and i dont really have the freedom to change it around
[21:03:40] <Tom_itx> anyone know when andypugh is due back?
[21:04:22] <roh> r00t4rd3d: i currently think something like gcnccam with some routines from heekscam would do the trick for me, but i thought i should ask around first before going on an try to hack these up
[21:04:48] <roh> too bad nobody continues the heeks stuff. was nice, just not done and badly broken at some places.
[21:07:46] <Tom_itx> umm sheetcam too
[21:07:46] <skunkworks> t12: I thought tomach had a supported linuxcnc config
[21:10:19] <t12> i have not investigated, the limits are political not technical
[21:10:28] <roh> do you know what happened to the freecad cam module?
[21:10:55] <skunkworks> t12: ah
[21:11:05] <t12> its v annoying using other peoples equipment
[21:11:10] <t12> however much cheaper!

[21:27:34] <AR__> i've had it for a couple years now. I bought it when it cost like $70 :(
[21:28:45] <r00t4rd3d> i paid 40 for mine

[21:30:01] <AR__> yup thats the one
[21:30:33] <AR__> by modify, do you mean the guy that added the inverter buffer?
[21:30:49] <r00t4rd3d> unless you modify them, they are slow but for a mill that probably wouldnt be bad

[21:33:30] <r00t4rd3d> are you the one that mods tb6560?
[21:33:40] <Loetmichel> i dont mod them
[21:33:44] <Loetmichel> i use them ;-)
[21:33:56] <r00t4rd3d> well change stuff to make them better/faster
[21:34:06] <Loetmichel> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR8uLMVKDkQ
[21:34:18] <Loetmichel> the only change these boards need: more voltage
[21:34:42] <AR__> i do remember i needed to replace one of the tb6560 chips like the week that i got it
[21:34:50] <AR__> i forget how, but I made one explode
[21:34:53] <Loetmichel> so power them with tha max of 35V (one volt headroom) that the Chips can hold.
[21:34:58] <Loetmichel> MUCH better than 24V
[21:35:09] <AR__> i think i use 27V
[21:35:33] <Loetmichel> AR__: beeb there, done that... multiple times... http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=12554
[21:36:07] <r00t4rd3d> i only have a 24v psu
[21:36:15] <AR__> LOL Loetmichel
[21:36:16] <r00t4rd3d> 24v/15A
[21:36:29] <Loetmichel> the tb6560 dont like: reverse voltage, spikes on supply above 36V and disconnect or flaky contacts of the motors while running
[21:36:42] <Loetmichel> otherwise they are fine for the money
[21:36:53] <JesusAlos> http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Simple_EMC_G-Code_Generators
[21:37:05] <AR__> yeah, I forget what I did

[21:37:26] <JesusAlos> please, reference to integrate .py in linuxcnc?
[21:37:56] <r00t4rd3d> AR__, unplugging a motor while its powered blows stuff i guess on older boards

[21:38:18] <AR__> yeah I make sure it is unplugged now when I touch it
[21:38:40] <ReadError> draw any pictures yet AR__?
[21:38:47] <AR__> replacing those chips is a bitch
[21:39:01] <AR__> i hate that package design
[21:39:04] <AR__> ReadError, nah
[21:39:18] <AR__> i gotta fine tune the configuration
[21:39:18] <r00t4rd3d> i would just buy a new one and use the old one for spare parts
[21:39:26] <Loetmichel> r00t4rd3d: unplugging a running motor blows EVERY tb6560 board i.e: the tb6560 chip

[23:05:27] <JT-Shop> looks like you just type make to compile it
[23:06:01] <JT-Shop> from the README file "Compiling:
[23:06:01] <JT-Shop> ==========
[23:06:01] <JT-Shop> The Boost library and development headers must be installed. It's likely that your distribution has this available as package. See http://www.boost.org
[23:06:01] <JT-Shop> This should be as simple as cd-ing into the directory and typing make. If your system is set up right (libboost is probably the big one), it should compile dxflib, mapm, and the executable.
[23:06:04] <JT-Shop> Typically, typing "make" in the codeg directory will result in a usable build. The executable is statically linked, and you may copy it to /usr/local/bin, or whatever is appropriate for your system.
