[00:00:10] <Tom_itx> i worked with a guy that rode to work every day no matter what on a BMW
[00:00:16] <JT-Shop> I finally found a c tutorial for studio that made sense and even made a little c program, complied it and debugged it
[00:00:29] <Tom_itx> there was only one day i had to load the bike in the pickup to help him home
[00:00:36] <JT-Shop> those BMW guys are a little touched I think

[00:05:43] <JT-Shop> aye, and mine are not sutible for that
[00:05:48] <andypugh> And did he really have a 1200 mile range?
[00:05:49] <JT-Shop> he lives in Mexico
[00:05:53] <Tom_itx> even so
[00:06:04] <andypugh> I liked the bits of Mexico I saw.

[00:06:34] <JT-Shop> I doubt he drove 1200 miles on a tank even though he does like to ride at +100mph
[00:07:02] <JT-Shop> all he said and he is a bit hard to understand is he could drive all day on one tank
[00:07:32] <JT-Shop> I think he had at least twice the range that my Goldwing has

[00:41:54] <JT-Shop> it did that to me and correcting it didn't fix it until I renamed the file...
[00:43:40] <andypugh> It still works for me. Even if I reload.
[00:44:35] <JT-Shop> if I zoom in they show up
[00:44:56] <alex_joni> ok.. it should work again
[00:45:16] <alex_joni> JT-Shop: that sounds like a JavaScript issue
[00:45:27] <alex_joni> that's out of my hands.. should be handled by google
[00:45:38] <JT-Shop> now it works for me and quite fast
[00:45:49] <JT-Shop> I just loaded the link into a new page
[00:46:00] <alex_joni> it should be fast ;)
[00:46:05] <alex_joni> I just spent 2 days on it
[00:46:20] <JT-Shop> Yikes!

[02:07:54] <andypugh> There is a guy with lots of hobs who seems to be giving up on shifting them at £50 so is going to 99p no reserve. So I am snippping at £20.

[02:17:29] <archivist> jdh, a tax on your house
[02:17:48] <Connor> House or land or both ?
[02:18:46] <jdh> I pay the city a tax on my house, and the county a tax on my house
[02:18:55] <jdh> and on my cars, boat, etc
[02:19:28] <Connor> We have City, County , State Sales Tax. (Well In My state, we don't have a tax.. but 1 of only 2 states that don't) , Then State and Federal Income tax.
[02:19:33] <Tom_L> and about 15 different phone taxes
[02:19:34] <Connor> Then Property Tax..
[02:19:38] <Connor> and Use tax.
[02:20:26] <jdh> but, no TeeVee tax
[02:21:27] <Connor> Freaking Use tax stupid.. (for business) Basically have to pay a tax on equipment we own each year.. it gets depreciated.. but, still have to pay for it.. not that much $$$ but it's still stupid..
[02:21:51] <jdh> but, you didn't have to pay sales tax in it?
[02:22:48] <Connor> Not if it's for resale.. but, if it's for internal use you do.
[02:23:07] <jdh> that's lame
[02:23:19] <Connor> You buy a stapler at the Office supply place.. you pay tax.. you still have to pay a use tax each year on it.
[02:24:02] <Connor> It's stupidly LOW amount.. but a PITA in book keeping.
[02:24:38] <Connor> and if you don't do it.. they "asses" your property based on some magic number they pull out of their a$$'s.
[02:24:42] <jdh> "we don't have that any more"

[04:27:16] <Connor> okay, so, designing a robotic arm.. Was planning on using window motors with encoders.. then I realized, that, it would have to home the arm every time I turned it back on..
[04:27:22] <Connor> any thoughts?
[04:29:29] <Connor> I guess I need absolute encoders.. but.. I've never used those before.. and not sure how expensive they are..
[04:32:15] <ProxDem> well you could dump the last know coordinates on shutdown to an NVRAM or flash/eeprom and keep going from there and have the occasional rehome
[04:32:15] <Valen> decenltly more
[04:32:30] <Valen> unless you can use something like those magnetic absolute encoders
[04:32:47] <ProxDem> or use an absolute encoder
[04:32:50] <ProxDem> rotary styl
[04:32:53] <ProxDem> damn Valen beat me to it
[04:33:11] <Connor> dumping position won't work.. arm will most likely move on power down.
[04:33:11] <andypugh> Connor: Where are the encoders?
[04:33:31] <Connor> Don't have any yet. I was thinking of the AMT102's.. but those are just incremental.
[04:33:45] <ProxDem> Connor: then an absolute encoder would be the way togo
[04:34:23] <andypugh> If they are in the joints, then something absolute would work, if it is on the motors you might need multi-turn absolute.
[04:34:32] <Valen> you could perhaps combine the two
[04:34:41] <Valen> absolute + incremental
[04:34:46] <Connor> andypugh: On joints most likely
[04:35:31] <Connor> I mean.. I guess I could use POT's.. but.. I wanted something a little more accurate than that..
[04:37:04] <andypugh> I am a real fan of resolvers
[04:38:05] <andypugh> But I don't think you would want to buy them new, they are not cheap.

[04:39:37] <andypugh> But in principle they are absolute and the accuracy is limited only by your other hardware. The Mesa 7i49 handles 6 of them to 24 bits reslution and 16 bits accuracy.
[04:40:25] <Connor> andypugh: This isn't a CNC arm.. Just a robot arm for use on a personal robot.. no MESA or linuxcnc involved.. I was just asking here because i know some of the principles still apply. :)
[04:40:40] <ProxDem> Connor: absolute rotary encoders are cheap
[04:42:05] <andypugh> Connor: I am not sure how that changes anything?
[04:42:31] <ProxDem> a good MCU program can take care of all that
[04:42:46] <ProxDem> regardless if it's AVR or PIC or Propellers or TI etc
[04:42:59] <Connor> andypugh: May not.. I was just clarifying the intended purpose.
[04:43:16] <Connor> http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/AMT203-V/102-2050-ND/2278846
[04:43:26] <Connor> okay. Not too bad. $48.65
[04:44:47] <s1dev> anyone know how thick of a piece of aluminum a 120W laser can cut?
[04:45:31] <andypugh> I do happen to have a set of three of these, that I bought on eBay (drink was involved) and I would like them to find a home.
http://www.librascopememories.com/Librascope_Memories/Product_Literature_files/Shaft%20Encoders%20-%201967.pdf
[04:46:15] <andypugh> They are a 2-stage encoder, one at shaft speed and one geared down, 13 bits absolute.
[04:46:42] <Connor> wow, those look old.. :)
[04:47:04] <andypugh> I imgaine they were _colossaly_ expensive when they were made (before I was born)
[04:47:41] <andypugh> (there are several pages, scroll down)
[04:47:57] <Connor> I did. Looks like they're mechanical...
[04:47:58] <Connor> wow.

[04:50:28] -!- jpk has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[04:50:55] <Connor> now, to figure out now to mount these encoders to the motors...
[04:51:24] <Connor> I may have to make new drive pins.. they only go up to 8mm.. and the pin is closer to 9..
[04:51:29] <andypugh> Googling them found me all sorts of stuff. They are "General Precision" which is the "GP" in the LGP-30
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGP-30 which is the drum-memory computer in the programmer-folklore tale of Mel:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_Mel
[04:51:31] <Connor> might be able to turn it down..
[04:54:57] -!- gmag has quit [Quit: Enough small talk...]
[04:55:27] <Connor> it's going to cost a small fortune to build this freaking arm.. $50.00 a pop for the encoders... each motor needs it's own H-bridge, and then the motor itself..

[04:57:47] <Connor> andypugh: I haven't a faintest idea what I would do with them... :)
[04:58:22] <andypugh> Put them on the motors (geared down) and have absolute position to 13 bits?
[04:59:53] <Connor> honestly.. I think they're a bit bulky.. i'm not sure how I would use them.. I kinda need through shaft design like that AMT203

[14:52:49] <IchGuckLive> my cheef is asking for more pricise on the stepper so servo will be the expensiv option
[14:53:39] <IchGuckLive> servos4ever: is it posible to go for stepdir so i need no other electronics for the mashine ony the servo and the driver
[14:53:48] <IchGuckLive> or is this also garbige
[14:57:33] -!- kwallace1 [kwallace1!~kwallace@smb-123.sonnet.com] has joined #linuxcnc
[14:58:36] <andypugh> I don't see any fundamental problem with controlling a serve with a step/dir pulse train. If you use a velocity-mode stepgen it is just anouther way to send speed/direction data and not fundamentally different to any other way of controlling a servo.
[15:00:32] -!- kwallace has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
[15:04:52] <pcw_home> Its certainly possible to run step/dir servos with just a parallel port (either closed or open loop)
[15:04:54] <pcw_home> The limitation is step rate vs servo resolution and encoder count rate for closed loop systems
[15:05:06] <IchGuckLive> istill have no return data then does the controler backup the pulses
[15:05:41] <pcw_home> Yes you use the servo just like a step drive
[15:05:55] <IchGuckLive> so what is the goal then
[15:06:04] <IchGuckLive> spend more money
[15:06:43] <IchGuckLive> one servo 400W is more then 3 Stepper at 12Nm with drives
[15:08:11] <pcw_home> If you are ok with the step rate limits and lack of feedback to LinuxCNC,
[15:08:13] <pcw_home> a servo driven in step/dir mode is scaleable to much larger sizes than a step motor
[15:08:52] <pcw_home> and will give a reliable fault signal ifs stalled
[15:11:56] <IchGuckLive> thanks is the cable Standarisised to get them on the 7i77
[15:12:59] <IchGuckLive> there is a 7i76 in so step dir is ok
[15:13:14] <IchGuckLive> but i think with servo better to go as far as 7i77
[15:13:32] <IchGuckLive> and pull all sig throu the system
[15:13:55] <IchGuckLive> i still hope that the price is to high for him to pay of
[15:14:14] <IchGuckLive> 12Nm is a bounchh of force

[17:04:12] <ReadError> any gecko 540 users here?
[17:04:24] <ReadError> was wondering if i could remap my z axis to some of the aux pins
[17:04:29] <ReadError> since i only need 2
[17:04:42] <ReadError> to use an external driver instead of the built in one
[17:05:20] <IchGuckLive> just open the case and conect to the opo outputs
[17:10:09] <pcw_home> or insert a little M-F DB25 cable and break put the wires
[17:10:27] <ReadError> yea i was thinking their is some breakout adapter

[20:25:00] <andypugh> LeelooMinai: Because 6.2 is the standard screw clearance size.
[20:25:18] <andypugh> I have seen conterbores with 6.5mm pilots, but that seems too sloppy to me,
[20:25:56] <skunkworks> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC3N-uadAk0
[20:26:05] <LeelooMinai> Hmm... I guess I am confused about the order this is done... Doesn't a tapped M6 hole have more like 4.2mm clearance?
[20:26:20] <LeelooMinai> 5mm that is*
[20:27:02] <andypugh> There isn't much call for a tapped, counterbored, hole.
[20:27:28] <LeelooMinai> O, wait...
[20:28:22] <LeelooMinai> Right... for some reason I was thinking that the hole will be tapped, but you are right - I just need clena hole and I will tapp the other plate
[20:29:18] <andypugh> And the 6.2 clearance size gives you a bit of wiggle room if your taped holes aren't in exactly the right place.
[20:29:56] <LeelooMinai> Hmm... but now that seems a bit small - I mean, if I want to adjust the position later a bit, isn't 0.2mm a small room for adjustment?
[20:30:29] <LeelooMinai> Also... how do I drill 6.2mm hole:)
[20:31:22] <skunkworks> we did some work for a guy that always did things manually.. He went 1/8 bigger in clearance holes. when we did the parts on the cnc we used fractional bigger (1/32 iirc).. He was so surprised that everything went together...
[20:33:02] <LeelooMinai> Ok, I am a bit new to all of this, but I am designing CNC machine. I bought, what I believe correct drills for tapping: 4.2mm, 5 and 6.8, but now I have to use some sane drills for those pilot holes

[20:33:47] <LeelooMinai> As I see that they have those 6.2mm pilots on couterbore bits... If I drill larger holes, those bit will not center, right?

[20:34:33] <LeelooMinai> ^ THis is the counterbore I am talking about
[20:35:17] <LeelooMinai> Or maybe I could drill twice or something? First 6mm, then use this counterbore, and then use another bit to enlarge the 6mm one?
[20:36:19] <pcw_home> probably want a 6.2 mm drill (they are standard)

[20:37:14] <LeelooMinai> Right... I am worried though that this will prevent me from any adjustment therafter
[20:37:43] <LeelooMinai> Not sure if I will be able to make everything fit that precise using the tools I have
[20:39:21] <pcw_home> You could drill the 6.2 hole out larger later, but it will keep the counterbore concentric with the hole
[20:39:49] <LeelooMinai> Right, ok, thx - I guess I will need to chase those 6.2mm drills
[20:41:02] <gene77> I'll bite, whats wrong when code that runs great in sim mode, claims the vars I assign at the top of the file are "read only" when loaded on the real machine?

[21:18:06] <andypugh> LeelooMinai: Use 6.5mm. Especially if drilling by hand.
[21:18:45] <andypugh> (If you have 6.5 and not 6.2)
[21:19:57] <andypugh> And the trick is often to drill through both parts with the tapping drill, then enlarge the clearance hole in just the top part.
[21:21:03] <andypugh> Alternatively, if the top hole already exists, spot through with the clearance drill to make a starting dimple for the tapping drill.
