[00:54:06] <tjtr33> PCW thank you, i havent read enough yet to see the differences,
[00:54:08] <tjtr33> the short description makes them seem almost identical despite the simpler bus i/f
[00:58:51] <PCW> 5I25 is PCI 6i25 is PCIE

[01:02:04] <tjtr33> yes, looks like a very useful product "These is a small speed advantage and some additional 6I25 features available if the card is runs as a native 6I25."
[01:03:18] <tjtr33> no matter till i buy one and use it. seems a good pair, that mobo, the 6i25 and having a free full pci slot left over

[06:21:27] <sadara> for our applicatioin, in general if you want to cut anything, unsupported rails = bad
[06:27:14] <LeelooMinai> Right, I found some more info and I get an idea now that the whole axis just hangs on them which seems to be bad...
[06:28:58] <sadara> rigidity suffers a lot, esp for long axis
[06:29:13] <LeelooMinai> Would a 400-something oz-inch stepper be sufficient if I wanted to do some light aluminum-cutting work (light in the sense, not too many items, and not some crazy speeds.)
[06:29:15] <LeelooMinai> ?
[06:30:03] <LeelooMinai> I can see bigger ones, but they seem to be monstrious... like 1600
[06:30:20] <LeelooMinai> monstrous*
[06:30:31] <sadara> What is your motion? Ballscrew?
[06:30:35] <LeelooMinai> Yes
[06:30:45] <sadara> lead?
[06:31:19] <LeelooMinai> Well, I am buying the stuff - I see they have 10 turns per inch mostly... but there may be some options
[06:31:48] <sadara> 2.54mm.... wow, what dia?
[06:31:56] <LeelooMinai> 16mm
[06:32:21] <LeelooMinai> Well, actually, it just saus lead 10
[06:32:23] <LeelooMinai> says
[06:32:29] <LeelooMinai> So maybe that is metric
[06:32:44] <sadara> thats more like it
[06:33:18] <sadara> 2.54 mm lead, 400oz inch(2.82Nm) = 640kilograms force
[06:33:45] <sadara> 10 mm lead, 400oz inch(2.82Nm) = 160kilograms force
[06:33:46] <LeelooMinai> Which I presume is a lot?
[06:33:56] <LeelooMinai> Not sure what force I want for aluminum cuts
[06:34:30] <sadara> both allowing for 90% ballscrew efficiency
[06:34:35] <LeelooMinai> I would also want more precisions than speed
[06:35:07] <sadara> 1500 pounds or 350 pounds respectivly
[06:35:26] <LeelooMinai> 640kg sounds scary:)
[06:36:07] <LeelooMinai> I mostly want to make sure I don't buy mismatched stepper
[06:36:28] <sadara> with a 10mm ballscrew, and a 200 step / rev stepper, your looking at 2 thou
[06:36:36] <LeelooMinai> From what I see 200-something are most popular, 400 more expensive, and 1600 are some nema34 monsters
[06:36:53] <LeelooMinai> Yes, 2 though is ok - that's like 10um
[06:37:10] <sadara> Pick metric or imperial
[06:37:15] -!- mhaberler [mhaberler!~mhaberler@macbook.stiwoll.mah.priv.at] has joined #linuxcnc
[06:37:22] <sadara> these unit conversions are annoying
[06:37:49] <LeelooMinai> Mm, actually - 1 mil is 25 um and 1 mm is 40 mil
[06:38:18] <LeelooMinai> So 2 mil is 50 um - that's not so great
[06:38:40] <sadara> ok, so you can microstep or pick a smaller leadscrew
[06:38:43] <LeelooMinai> If I want more precision, what am I looking for? Smaller lead?
[06:38:47] * sadara picks metric
[06:39:38] <LeelooMinai> Right... but I presume microstepping is not as good as direct angle to linear conversion?
[06:40:52] <LeelooMinai> The mostors sometimes come with sets of drivers - I see a lot of some Chinese Wentai brand - are they acceptable, or will they explode:), or cause problems with cnc software?
[06:41:18] <LeelooMinai> I can also make my own pcbs, but not sure if it's worth the effort
[06:41:31] <sadara> it depends what your trying to do, lower lead = more torque, but less speed
[06:41:55] <sadara> stepper drives are cheap, and they are almost all the same
[06:42:09] <LeelooMinai> http://www.aliexpress.com/item/USA-Ship-Free-Ship-to-USA-3-Axis-Nema23-Wantai-Stepper-Motor-425oz-3-0A-driver/696969706.html
[06:42:14] <LeelooMinai> They look like this
[06:42:30] <LeelooMinai> They can do 128 microstepp apparently
[06:42:42] <LeelooMinai> I presume that they will be compatible with linux cnc software
[06:42:58] <sadara> emc2 yes
[06:43:20] <LeelooMinai> Also, why is there so many people here, and no one ever talks?
[06:43:28] <sadara> you will still need a parallel
[06:43:39] <sadara> It's cause they are all retarded ;)
[06:44:08] <sadara> Most ppl are either afk or monitoring
[06:44:11] <LeelooMinai> It's a bit weird... I thought CNC got popular in recent years
[06:44:25] <sadara> yeah, but IRC less so
[06:45:00] <sadara> it is a bit like been in a library, lots of ppl, no talking
[06:45:24] <LeelooMinai> Well, it's my first CNC - I will probably make some mistakes, but the parts are not cheap, so I don't want to make too big mistakes:)
[06:45:36] <sadara> everyone is studing or working on there own thing, the only reason I answered is I'm waiting on a FEM to finish
[06:45:54] <LeelooMinai> Right, lucky me...
[06:45:59] <sadara> If this is your first CNC, don't try to aim to do steel
[06:46:16] <sadara> even ali will be difficult
[06:46:16] <LeelooMinai> Aluminum - mostly small pieces though
[06:47:12] <LeelooMinai> My plan is to buy those rail/ballscew sets and motor/driver from China/aliexpress and then build some stiff frame from parts I can get locally, as they are too have to order
[06:47:17] <sadara> size is not an issue, for a hobby project, you can always machine light cuts, but even ligth cuts in steel will stress most hobby machines
[06:47:45] <LeelooMinai> Well, steel is stell... I do not plan on doing that - aluminum is much softer
[06:48:17] <sadara> what material are you planning on using for your frame?
[06:48:30] <LeelooMinai> All aluminum I think
[06:48:37] <LeelooMinai> Extrusions
[06:49:06] <sadara> I'm currently building a machine from concreate, polystyrene and fibreglass
[06:49:24] <LeelooMinai> Are you sure that it's CNC, not a house? :p
[06:50:19] <LeelooMinai> Though I saw some people making tables from concrete...
[06:50:25] <sadara> yeah, i know. but believe it or not, it should be able to do steel, and faster than a steel frame router
[06:50:53] <sadara> Just using it as a suggestion, don't limit yourself to ali construction
[06:51:50] <LeelooMinai> It seems to have good balance of stiffness/price... fibreglass seems a bit exotic (I have bike frame made of carbon though - I know it can be stiff:)
[06:52:41] <sadara> for your first router, you can build from plywood/mdf/lumber and then upgrade each part to ali as you understand its function
[06:53:39] <LeelooMinai> Yes, I thought about, it, but I figured I have some tools that will manage alu, so I may skip the mdf step - it kind of feels weird to have mdf frame and try to cut alu to me
[06:53:47] <sadara> fibreglass foam construction is what I am familier with, so it is what I'm going to use. Concrete is cheap...
[06:54:40] <LeelooMinai> Fibreglass foam... And what parts would be made out of that?
[06:54:59] <sadara> in my case, the gantry
[06:55:21] <LeelooMinai> Hmm... never saw anything like this - it must be some novel idea:)
[06:55:41] <sadara> not really, you only see it in the really $$$ machines
[06:56:06] <LeelooMinai> And it's good because it's stiff and light at the same time, right?
[06:56:13] <sadara> yes
[06:56:26] <LeelooMinai> I guess with moving gantry that makes sense
[06:56:40] <sadara> the top speed you most hobby machines is not relevent to the application
[06:57:01] <sadara> ie, most of the time is spent accelerating/decelerating
[06:57:02] <LeelooMinai> I am not sure yet if make the gantry moving... maybe for thew first one I should make moving table?
[06:58:09] <LeelooMinai> I know it will take a bit more space... but at least I would not have to worry that I attach some heave tool to the z axis... probably
[06:58:44] <sadara> It's up to you, moving table is easier, but slower, it's also difficult to tune for max performance (as the changing weigth of the work makes turning the x axis harder) but these arn't concerns for your first machine
[06:59:36] <sadara> The maching I'm mahing is 1.6m x 2.7m x 600mm working volume, so I'm going with a fixed table
[06:59:51] <LeelooMinai> Right, well, will think about it. I also thought that if I can make alu parts, I can upgrade the machine, by making the upgrade parts with it
[07:00:10] <sadara> fair enough, what sie is your machine?
[07:00:14] <sadara> s/sie/size
[07:00:52] <LeelooMinai> That will be determined by the rail/bakkscrew set I buy - I see they have reasonably prices 60cm/100cm/30cm sets
[07:01:13] <LeelooMinai> I don't think larger than that
[07:01:57] <sadara> make sure you subtract around 100mm from each axis if buying from china, as they don't deduct the end machining from the length of the ballscrew
[07:02:25] <LeelooMinai> Right, I know - to be honest this is already oversized for my needs
[07:02:50] <LeelooMinai> But since I invest some money, I don't want to goo too tiny
[07:03:14] <sadara> for that size maching, a moving bed is much easier
[07:03:43] <sadara> It's better to have a very nice small machine, than an "ok" medium sized
[07:03:46] <LeelooMinai> Right, no, I am not building some monster machine that will make wooden furniture or anything like that:)
[07:04:28] <LeelooMinai> And medium sized is what?
[07:04:56] <sadara> 60cm/100cm/30cm
[07:05:06] <sadara> What are you going to be making?
[07:05:23] <sadara> 60cm/100cm/30cm is pretty big, if you think about it
[07:06:06] <LeelooMinai> I am doing a long of hobby EE projects. So probably some PCB experiments, but also enclosures for projects, maybe some robotic stuff - protptyping parts mostly, nothing for production
[07:06:11] <sadara> almost all my work would fit in a 300/300/300 mm cube, or is very large, like 1000x100
[07:06:11] <LeelooMinai> long=lot
[07:06:35] <sadara> s/1000x100/1000x1000 mm
[07:07:29] <LeelooMinai> RIght, for me 30cmx30cm is probably enough... though there's no huge difference between prices of those rail/screw sets...
[07:07:49] <LeelooMinai> So though that maybe I should oversize it a bit... don't know
[07:07:55] <sadara> no, but the rigidity of the machine will bt 10x better
[07:08:03] <sadara> s/bt/se
[07:08:31] <LeelooMinai> True... unless I make the alu parts oversized too
[07:08:36] <sadara> that may enable you to do light steel milling
[07:09:21] <LeelooMinai> That sounds like something that would wear down the machine pretty fast
[07:09:27] <sadara> I'm just trying to make sure your clear on what your goal is
[07:09:59] <LeelooMinai> Well, as I said - at most some light aluminium cutting/milling
[07:10:10] <LeelooMinai> And I want some good precision for other stuff
[07:10:16] <LeelooMinai> Speed not important really
[07:10:16] <sadara> ok
[07:11:33] <LeelooMinai> I like alu as material for enclosures, so that's that, and the other part is, as I wrote, to make some parts for the CNC itself using it
[07:12:12] <LeelooMinai> But steel... I don't know - that's a bit hard core:)
[07:12:13] <sadara> then I would suggest 20mm 5mm lead ballscrews, 3.5Nm (400-600 oz inch) steppers, with no microstepping unless more precision is needed on light jobs (ie PCBs)
[07:12:44] <LeelooMinai> O, ok, that's good info - thx
[07:19:06] <sadara> I might go slightly larger on the bed stepper, just so that x and y axis can accelerate at the same rate

[11:21:43] <sadara> Can anyone here help me with servos?
[11:22:50] <archivist> ask a better question because many can
[11:23:56] <sadara> I'm trying to figure out if a servo is compatible with a drive
[11:24:10] <sadara> I don't have the complete servo datasheet
[11:25:00] <sadara> anyone?
[11:25:30] <archivist> still nothing in the question anyone can answer
[11:25:36] <cncbasher> what servo and which drive ?
[11:25:39] <sadara> drive manual
http://www.mesanet.com/pdf/motion/8i20man.pdf
[11:25:57] <sadara> servo partial datasheet:
http://www.electromate.com/db_support/downloads/APIBT171SERIES.pdf
[11:26:43] <sadara> one of the servos I have is an BT-0172ERA-R1LN
[11:26:58] <sadara> which has a resolver, not a quadrature encoder
[11:27:20] <sadara> so I would need a mesa resolver interface as well
[11:28:41] <sadara> I know I also need other items from mesa to make it all work, however I'm only concerned with the servo drive atm
[11:29:43] <sadara> That is the best datasheet I can find
[11:30:19] <cncbasher> on first look it should be ok , but i would send the data sheet to mesa and they can check
[11:30:50] <cncbasher> you probably would need the 7i49 resolver add on card
[11:31:22] <sadara> and a 422 card as well
[11:31:33] <sadara> from looking at the datasheet, the servo is expecting around 230Vrms
[11:31:37] <cncbasher> they will be able to match up the products much quicker for you
[11:32:15] <sadara> That is the only low cost drive I can find the is suitable for that servo
[11:32:49] <sadara> that drive is 2.2KW, the servo is only 50W
[11:33:11] <sadara> are there any smaller HV drives around? even with a step dir interface
[11:33:27] <cncbasher> do you not have any origional drives
[11:33:32] <sadara> all the chinese drives seem to be limited to 80vdc
[11:33:41] <sadara> No, I don't have the original drives
[11:34:11] <Jymmm> Anyone know how much difference there is between .22lr and .25 pistols (and dont say 3 ya dumbass)?
[11:34:23] <sadara> I got the servos really, really cheap without the drive
[11:35:06] <cncbasher> yes it's usualy the case , if you get both the price is increased
[11:35:07] <sadara> .22lr was never meant as a pistol round, need long barrel
[11:35:11] -!- skunkworks [skunkworks!~skunkwork@68-115-41-210.static.eucl.wi.charter.com] has joined #linuxcnc
[11:35:36] <Jymmm> sadara: why?
[11:35:43] <sadara> .25 was designed as a semi-accurate pistol round
[11:36:03] <sadara> Jymmm: lots of reason, powder burn time
[11:36:09] <Jymmm> sadara: There are .22lr kits for my gliock
[11:36:16] <Jymmm> glock
[11:36:17] <cncbasher> for that very reason they work together and match
[11:36:55] <sadara> cncbasher: but a servo for $10, + a drive for $180 is still very cheap
[11:36:59] <cncbasher> new servo motors are 80v or their abouts , old servo's 180v etc
[11:37:54] Jymmm is now known as Red70sShow
[11:37:56] <sadara> Jymmm: .22lr round was designed as a plinking rifle round
[11:38:01] Red70sShow is now known as Jymmm
[11:38:06] <sadara> cncbasher: That explains a lot
[11:39:11] <cncbasher> and the fact that older drives use resolvers where the newer use quad encoders
[11:39:37] <cncbasher> so you tend to have to match old servos with older drives
[11:39:53] <sadara> newer servos use resolvers too, the resolver is actually better in a lot of ways
[11:39:59] <cncbasher> but if they are in working order thats usualy not a problem
[11:40:38] <cncbasher> but any faulty ones stay away .. the capacitors normaly require replacing
[11:40:40] <sadara> the problem is, most of the really old drives have a propritory interface
[11:41:09] <cncbasher> the majority have + - 10v analog somewhere
[11:41:27] <cncbasher> which is an industry standard
[11:43:15] <cncbasher> the fanuc properierty interface is a nightmare so keep away from that , as their is little known about the format
[11:43:50] <cncbasher> have you looked at automationdirect .com
[11:44:06] <sadara> looking now
[11:47:50] <sadara> the smallest amp they do is still 400W, and is $480, and not compatible with resolvers

[11:49:03] <sadara> I'm probably a bit optimistic expectiing to pick up amps for $100 a channel
[11:51:23] <cncbasher> yes amps are prob around $200 - 300
[11:51:59] <cncbasher> but dont discount mesa , they will soon come up with a solution
[11:52:24] <cncbasher> they have more than what is on the website and can truly advise
[11:53:09] <sadara> yeah, I must say, the mesa solution looks pretty awsome, and I'm happy with the price
[11:54:08] <cncbasher> look on ebay but it is advisable to buy them as a pair , rather than seperate in this case
[11:54:30] <skunkworks> I am a very happy mesa customer

[16:17:15] <L84Supper> sorry $1.5K + $1/lb, but I think it would have to be partially disassembled to meet the size requirements for DHL or Fedex

[16:20:58] <skunkworks> ah
[16:21:11] <sadara> with the mesa cards, with a 6axis machine with a basic atc, is there any reason to buy a FPGA card with more gates than the absolute minimum you need, assumeing you are never going to add to the machine?
[16:21:59] <Connor> Still can't believe I helped him get that working over the phone and me never doing anything with mesa, or that servo controller.. :) still patting my self on the back for that one.
[16:22:06] <jdh> with that much money invested, is there any reason to try to save a fractional percent by buying a cheap card?
[16:23:14] <sadara> I'm not trying to buy a cheap card, just wondering if it's worth spending an extra cpl hundred now
[16:23:50] <skunkworks> sadara, you always want more.... :)
[16:24:24] <sadara> I know, but I can't figure out how I could use more, even if I wanted too

[18:14:41] <IchGuckLive> always to the Minus point
[18:15:07] <Connor> yea. Someone was saying in VMC's.. normally on the right due to Tool Changes being on the left..
[18:15:12] <IchGuckLive> Depends on your mashine config
[18:15:23] <IchGuckLive> your X shoudt work plus
[18:15:29] <Connor> Frankly, the right would be more consistent with a Lave.
[18:15:32] <Connor> Lathe.
[18:15:39] <Connor> damn it...
[18:15:49] <Connor> LEFT would be more consistent with a lathe.
[18:15:53] <Connor> I'll get it out in a minute..
[18:16:11] <IchGuckLive> the tool shoudt alqways stay in plus X on A Rotation
[18:16:53] <skunkworks> it doesn't matter which side as long as the rotation is correct
[18:17:47] <Connor> But we all agree that ATC and 4th axis on the same side probably not the best idea.. less room for tool clearance.
[18:20:33] <IchGuckLive> on ATC it is probably better to the other side

[20:22:09] <Nick001-Shop> Is there any current useful info using a linear scale with a stepper motor?
[20:22:52] <andypugh> If you know what data is in the protocol, then you can change the physical inputs and see what changes. There is probably a CRC at the end to confuse matters, though.
[20:23:10] <PCW> Been done (how exactly depends on linear scale resolution vs stepmotor resolution)
[20:24:38] <Nick001-Shop> 200 step motor and i think 5000 lin per inch scale
[20:24:52] <PCW> typically what is done is the stepgen is run in velocity mode with a PID loop setting the stepgen rate
[20:25:14] <PCW> so it simulates a velocity mode servo system
[20:26:03] <Nick001-Shop> how do i accomplish this? writeup anywhere?
[20:27:24] <Nick001-Shop> I have the stepper running with stepcfg wizard now
[20:28:00] <PCW> There are people in the forum that have done it (and posted hal files)
[20:28:02] <PCW> basically you setup a normal servo system hal file with the only difference
[20:28:03] <PCW> being that the PID output drives the steggen rate instead of a analog output

[20:45:43] <Nick001-Shop> what card would I have to use with a 5i20?
[20:47:57] <tjtr33> re Gabe again: he used an arduino to spin a motor just to snoop on the resolver output :) ( me use hand drill , ugh!)
[20:50:13] <PCW> you dont need anything other then the 5I20 for stepgens and encoders (daughter cards provide 5I20 protection, encoder differential inputs, 5V drive step/dir etc)
[20:51:00] <PCW> Andy is the Arduino resolver guy AFAIK
[20:53:12] <tjtr33> oops yes that was andy did it, appy polly loggys
[20:55:29] <Nick001-Shop> what daughter card do I need - I have a 7i30 but that for servos I assume
[20:57:43] <andypugh> As PCW said, you don't necessarily need _any_ daughter card.
[20:58:20] <andypugh> My mill/lathe stepper machine has the step drives wired direct to the 7i43 board.
[20:59:07] <PCW> you could use the 7I30 encoder inputs, and bare 5I20 pins for the stepgen (or a purpose built daughtercard like a 7I47 or 7I52S)

[21:08:28] <andypugh> (Don't be fooled by the pictures, they have up to 24 pins)
[21:09:12] <andypugh> You need to get the terminals separately, and need a very small crimping tool, but then you can connect individual signal wires in reconfigurable arrangements.
[21:11:38] <andypugh> See, for example, the pink wires connecting the Arduino to the 5i23 in this picture:

[21:28:16] <Connor> Are they feed through.. or a bus bar ?
[21:28:48] <jdh> there are center holes so you can run a bus through them for power distribution/etc

[21:30:27] <jdh> I scrounged mine from trash
[21:30:55] <Connor> I just used cheap terminal barrier strips with a bridge clip.
[21:30:56] <jdh> the little single height ones are pretty cheap, $0.50/each or less

[21:33:38] <tjtr33> andypugh, i think that pic shows a 7i76 and the 'field i/o' is used. how does that work? thru serial? the pink cat cable?
[21:33:48] <Connor> I see the blocks all over.. where are the strips that links them together ?
[21:34:05] <jdh> those are in the center
[21:34:16] <jdh> some use comb looking strips
[21:34:31] <Connor> yea.. but, they don't come with the strips...
[21:34:36] <jdh> nope
[21:34:45] <jdh> gotta buy those also
[21:34:48] <Connor> where do you get those, or what are they called ?

[22:08:28] <andypugh> 7i44 is an array of 25 isolated switches, and 24 isolated inputs.
[22:08:37] <andypugh> Sorry, 7i64 is that.
[22:09:43] <andypugh> So, the bottom left half of the 7i64 is wired yellow (12V) outputs, and the right half is orange (24V) outputs.
[22:10:08] <andypugh> You can mix and match voltages and voltage references with the 7i64, and it handles 48V.

[22:19:15] <tjtr33> okay, it appears as a port to read/written , kinda parport inbyte/outbyte like
[22:19:27] <tjtr33> thanks that looks really useful
[22:21:58] <PCW> Thats the theory, the firmware is supposed to hide a lot of details so the driver just has a relatively simple register level interface
[22:24:28] <tjtr33> so if i git this right, the field i/o connectors of the 7i76 are not used from the 6i25?
[22:25:05] <PCW> Yes they are
[22:26:29] <tjtr33> how do you get 48 i/o+ out of 17 control pins? i'm just not following
[22:27:12] <JT-Shop> what does the nml file do?
[22:28:55] <JT-Shop> sserial
[22:29:45] <tjtr33> the serial is provided thru the 6i25?
[22:30:22] <tjtr33> i mean thru the pci bus?
[22:30:30] <PCW> yes
[22:30:51] <tjtr33> ok makwes sense, sorry for being dense :)
[22:31:24] <PCW> with a 7I76x2 config there are 4 sserial channels in the firmware 2 for each 7I76
[22:32:06] <PCW> each 7I76 has a local sserial used for field I/O and an expansion sserial for whatever
[22:34:04] <tjtr33> sounds like super cheap loads of i/o points
[22:35:11] <PCW> Yes it allows using cheap PICs or other micros for remote realtime I/O
[22:36:25] <tjtr33> didnt think of that, i was speaking of the 48, but that makes it a real hub
[22:38:33] <PCW> Currently its limited to 96 bits in /96 bits out per remote and 32 remotes max
[22:39:20] <tjtr33> haha 'limited'
[22:40:59] -!- krusty_ar has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[22:41:42] <PCW> we just made some changes to allow the internal processor to run at its own speed (rather than the bus speed)
[22:41:43] <PCW> so we can probably increase the data per channel at some point
[22:43:31] <PCW> This also means running the remotes at 10 Mbaud (instead of the current 2.5 Mbaud)
[22:50:02] <andypugh> If you want more than 3072 IO pins you need a second PCI slot :-)
[22:50:10] <tjtr33> :) when you answer it always brings up huge new ideas... like theres a processor in the fpga!... and its programmble, and imagine what a remote is in this context...and 4x the data rate? at least 300 i/o points per xfer
[22:50:21] <tjtr33> so i can never keep up !
[22:50:45] <tjtr33> :)
[22:52:12] <PCW> I recommend you DO NOT look at the source code for the sserial processor as it will cause brain damage
