[00:17:10] <PCW> Great. I dont think there were any practical side effects but it better overall if a channe has trouble to shut down so the remote watchdog can bite
[00:18:27] <PCW> did you fix the lower case folding? (if that's the problem)

[00:19:24] <andypugh> I didn't understand the issue...
[00:20:27] <PCW> in dmesg the sserial modes are printed but the underline char (0x5F) is broken
[00:23:23] -!- gimpspace has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]

[00:29:58] <PCW> That's strange since what we see from dmesg is folded into lower case (the original strings are mixed case)
[00:35:00] -!- carper64 has quit []
[00:37:07] <PCW> does hm2_sserial_get_bytes do it automatically for strings? (-1 option)
[00:44:38] <PCW> yeah hm2_sserial_get_bytes folds to LC for strings but does not check if its within range before Oring the 0x20
[00:44:40] <PCW> Probably folding should be an option (-2 for no fold?)
[00:46:57] <andypugh> Ah, probably. I am not even sure why it lower-cases stuff at all.
[00:47:23] <andypugh> I will look at it tomorrow or at the weekend.
[00:51:47] <PCW> the pin names are folded but maybe thats done some other way
[00:54:27] <PCW> I guess thats how the pin names are folded but the folding is not quite right (needs to be qualified by >64 and <91)
[00:54:48] <PCW> (A-Z only)
[00:55:33] <PCW> and foldiing is probably not appropriate for mode names
[00:56:03] <andypugh> No. I think I re-used a function without sufficient thought.
[00:57:47] <PCW> it turns out the pin names dont have any characters that are broke by just or-ing with 0x20
[00:58:06] <PCW> broken

[13:01:08] <ProxDem> oh you meant the filter heheh
[13:01:28] <jdh> mine might be the next size up
[13:01:29] <ProxDem> ReadError: the ball that moves up and down unther the filter
[13:02:02] <ProxDem> if you hold it down and start the machine does it still stop? (warning don't blame me if you hurt yourself trying this lol) =)
[13:02:33] <ReadError> ill give it a shot
[13:02:36] <ReadError> i already ordered another
[13:02:42] <ReadError> and a new filter...
[13:02:50] <ReadError> but it would be nice to have a spare
[13:02:51] <ProxDem> also if you've vacuumed alot of drywall without the special thing that goes on the filter
[13:02:55] <ProxDem> then it's probably dead
[13:03:02] <ReadError> well, g10 dust
[13:03:07] <ReadError> which is probably finer than drywall
[13:03:23] <ProxDem> ewww
[13:03:25] <ReadError> yea
[13:03:32] <ProxDem> well that might have done it in =(
[13:03:35] <ReadError> thats why its important for me to have another ;/

[13:04:03] <jdh> heh... I vacuumed a lot of drywall stuff with my old one. The filter ripped and blew stuff everywhere. I cleaned it repeatedly and it still blew dust out for a year
[13:04:10] <ReadError> mailing that is almost not worth while
[13:04:13] <ProxDem> jdh: hehehe
[13:04:23] <ProxDem> usualy you put a FOAM cover ontop of the filter for drywall
[13:04:34] <jdh> had one of those too
[13:04:43] <ProxDem> as for g10 and or laser toner that required an entire different setup

[13:08:05] <ReadError> yea i tried blowing it out
[13:08:11] <ReadError> i think its just burnt up
[13:08:28] <ReadError> i was thinking about making a "shopvac waterbong"
[13:08:35] <ProxDem> it's very likely it's blown out lol
[13:08:44] <ReadError> to pass the air through a bucket of water, then into the shopvac
[13:08:53] <ReadError> like a...bong
[13:09:01] <ReadError> sounds crazy but it just might work
[13:09:11] <ReadError> diffuse it so the water grabs as much as it can
[13:09:31] <ReadError> or is that just a bad idea?
[13:09:38] <ProxDem> ReadError: you could reuse the canister to make a cyclone dust collector
[13:10:47] <ReadError> if i can trap most of the dust before it hits the filter it should make cleaning much easier
[13:11:15] <ProxDem> yeah
[13:11:21] <ProxDem> cyclone dust collectors aren't 2 bad at that
[13:11:48] <ReadError> never heard of them

[17:32:28] <chopper79> I need to find the encoder A input on my 5i25 now
[17:32:47] <chopper79> How do you go to debug to see all the piouts of the 5i25 board
[17:32:54] <chopper79> if I asked that correctly
[17:33:16] <IchGuckLive> halcomand
[17:33:32] <IchGuckLive> loadfirmware and type show
[17:33:57] <IchGuckLive> is it a THC300 or a THCAD 300
[17:34:09] <chopper79> THCAD-300 from MESA
[17:34:13] <IchGuckLive> from where eagleplasma
[17:34:19] <IchGuckLive> ah
[17:34:29] <IchGuckLive> 0-10 or 0-300 version
[17:34:37] <chopper79> 300 version
[17:34:54] <chopper79> so in terminal I type halcommand?
[17:35:24] <IchGuckLive> http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/thc.9.html
[17:35:57] <IchGuckLive> did you read this
[17:36:00] <chopper79> Yes
[17:37:39] <IchGuckLive> so JT's thc is made that way
[17:37:43] <chopper79> yes
[17:37:46] <IchGuckLive> as he did the mesa modification
[17:37:48] <chopper79> from what I can see
[17:39:36] <chopper79> to see the pinout of the mesa card I have to go in terminal correct
[17:40:13] <IchGuckLive> yes
[17:40:26] <chopper79> type halcommand
[17:40:49] <chopper79> says command not found
[17:41:36] <chopper79> new to terminal so I dont know all the commands and lingo
[17:41:50] <IchGuckLive> let me find the right way
[17:43:09] <cpresser> chopper79: try 'halcmd'
[17:43:45] <IchGuckLive> chopper79: halrun -v
[17:44:02] <IchGuckLive> halcmd: is the output
[17:44:04] <chopper79> that worked. I forgot about the short hand
[17:44:27] <IchGuckLive> you need to run the hal first
[17:44:54] <IchGuckLive> then just load as rt as you do in the hal file
[17:45:16] <IchGuckLive> then after you loaded the board
[17:45:20] <IchGuckLive> loadusr halmeter
[17:45:20] <chopper79> used halrun -v and came back as realtime already running
[17:45:31] <IchGuckLive> ok
[17:47:05] <chopper79> ok.. im lost I can not find anything.
[17:47:23] <chopper79> Is the hal meter the same as the one in linuxcnc when its loaded?
[17:48:02] <IchGuckLive> yes
[17:48:10] <IchGuckLive> you nedd to load the cadr first

[17:58:53] <archivist> what is its HP rating
[17:58:59] <R2E4_> bizarre. OK I am good then according to that doc and my research. The label on the mill motor was disturbing.

[18:00:04] <archivist> 6.0 amps I bet
[18:01:12] <R2E4_> yeah its there. I thought someone threw a dart at it or something. I freaked when I read 60....hehe

[18:31:17] <pcw_home> There is no encoder A

[18:34:47] -!- sumpfralle [sumpfralle!~lars@c.mail.systemausfall.org] has joined #linuxcnc
[18:34:58] <chopper79> So from this point how do I know which encoder input on the 5i25 goes to which pin on the DB25 connector
[18:35:18] <chopper79> so I can run the THCAD-300 to this pi
[18:35:22] <chopper79> pin
[18:36:54] <andypugh> chopper79: I think there may be a clue in dmesg
[18:37:28] <chopper79> ok, can you explain how to get to dmesg please?
[18:37:35] <andypugh> Something like Apr 4 01:15:36 DN2800 kernel: [85938.692704] hm2/hm2_5i25.0: IO Pin 021 (P2-03): StepGen #7, pin Direction (Output)
[18:37:41] <pcw_home> yes. As I had mentioned before you set the encoder counter to up/down mode but with the standard pinout (that assumes a quadrature spindle encoder), this wastes the B pin (since it must be tied high or low to avoid the velocity reversing)
[18:37:50] <andypugh> just type dmesg in the terminal
[18:39:01] -!- erictheise has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
[18:39:09] <andypugh> chopper79: Which version of the 5i25 do you have, which daughter board, and which encoder do you want to use? I have the info in a terminal in front of me.
[18:39:31] <chopper79> 5i25 with the pbx-rf flash
[18:40:29] <pcw_home> you probably want pbx-rf-plasma (no B or Index pins)
[18:40:52] <chopper79> so there is a pbx-rf plasma?
[18:41:11] <pcw_home> not yet
[18:41:32] <pcw_home> its about 5 minutes of work
[18:42:09] <chopper79> Well considering I can not even do the simple tasks of finding a encoder pinout. It may become 5 days of work
[18:42:58] <chopper79> I figured this would be somwhere along the lines of encoder# goes to pin number 13 on a db25 cable
[18:43:18] <pcw_home> there are 3 sources of pinout information
[18:43:20] <pcw_home> one that always works is the listing in dmesg
[18:44:07] <chopper79> in dmesg I see the following
[18:44:14] <pcw_home> Another option is the probrf2x2.pin file available in the 5i25.zip file from mesa
[18:44:46] <chopper79> io pin 014 (p3-11): encoder #0, pin A (input)
[18:45:23] <chopper79> I for some reason or another do not have a hostmot firmware folder for the 5i25 with the pin files in it
[18:45:36] <chopper79> I see the defaults that come with linuxcnc
[18:45:55] <chopper79> I do have the .xml files in the proper folders
[18:46:32] <pcw_home> the xml files are only for pncconf
[18:46:48] <chopper79> ok that explains that one
[18:47:23] <chopper79> do I need the pin files as the others have that are default in linuxcnc

[18:48:05] <pcw_home> They are only for your information
[18:48:24] <chopper79> ok, that is what I was thinking
[18:48:38] <pcw_home> I like the dmesg printout better as there no chance of a mis-match
[18:49:56] <pcw_home> now if the driver just made the xml file for pncconf, everything would be automagic
[18:50:23] <chopper79> since dmesg shows io pin 014 (p3-11): encoder #0, pin A (input) how do I know which pin that is on the db25 output?
[18:50:34] <chopper79> automagic... nice
[18:51:02] <chopper79> or do I use hal meter and find it?
[18:51:20] <pcw_home> It says: (P3-11)
[18:52:44] <r00t4rd3d> these would work as mini estops right?

[18:54:04] <chopper79> correct
[18:56:01] <pcw_home> r00t4rd3d: not ideal
[18:56:03] <pcw_home> Most likely NO, you want NC for estop

[19:01:58] <tjtr33> Plug3Pin11 look at the manual and loof for the connector id's and where pin 1 is
[19:02:05] <tjtr33> look
[19:02:06] <chopper79> pcw-ok so IO pin 014 = pin 11
[19:02:16] <chopper79> just made that connection
[19:02:32] <andypugh> Hmm loadrt hm2_pci "firmware=new_firmware, create_xml=true"?
[19:03:22] <pcw_home> the dmesg is close...
[19:03:34] <r00t4rd3d> damn i got limit switches i could probably rig another estop out of...
[19:04:21] <tjtr33> cubieboard in from HongKong :) , but gotta pack and leave Sat :(
[19:04:40] <chopper79> alright so now I would take my FO+ and FO- from the THCAD300 and take one of them to pin 11 pn the P3 connector. This should link my frequancy out of the THCAD300 to the input in the config file?
[19:04:50] <chopper79> frequency
[19:05:03] <pcw_home> just use F0+
[19:05:08] <chopper79> ok
[19:05:17] <pcw_home> or FO-

[19:07:23] <pcw_home> for the same reason its suggested that limit switches be NC
[19:10:19] <tjtr33> i like 'security link' or 'safety chain', if you break the link or chain, the system is not safe/secure, so STOP.
[19:10:20] <tjtr33> the word 'Estop' doesnt convey this simple clear idea

[19:42:24] <chopper79> correct and it shows no change when applying an input voltage
[19:47:53] <pcw_home> reads 0?
[19:48:13] <chopper79> yes
[19:48:17] <pcw_home> what is the encoder scale?
[19:48:34] <pcw_home> and does the THCAD have 5V power?
[19:49:20] <pcw_home> and is the encoder set to up/down mode
[19:49:35] <chopper79> Has 5v
[19:49:44] <chopper79> I am not sure about the other two questions
[19:50:18] <chopper79> Not sure where to check that at
[19:51:01] <pcw_home> HAL file
[19:51:10] <chopper79> thats where i was just checking
[19:51:49] <chopper79> the scale offset is 119000
[19:52:36] <chopper79> I also see counter mode 1, woudl this be the mode for up/down
[19:53:23] <chopper79> there is a vel. scale also of 0.0037866834
[19:53:43] <pcw_home> OK thats correct (if its setp hm2_5i25.0.encoder.00.countertmode 1)
[19:54:22] <chopper79> yes thats correct
[19:55:53] <chopper79> im using a lower voltage to test with at this mon=ment so could the scaling be wrong for my voltage?

[20:31:05] <LeelooMinai> Hmm... I was thinking that couterbore removes some material from the plate... so maybe that's weaker... but not sure.
[20:36:33] <gabewillen> Am i doing this math right? if have a base thread of 25000ns(40000hz), and a 7200cpr encoder(28800 ppr). divide the hz/ppr to give a max theoretical rotations per second?

[20:55:28] <roh> hm. so there is only one bearing on those spindles?
[20:55:42] <roh> and the other end just swings free.. seems kinda cheap
[20:56:19] <r00t4rd3d> i have my z like that too
[20:57:31] <roh> i like the mechanical setup elsewise... i am searching for some mill like this one, but made from aluminium and with ballbearing-spindles
[20:57:34] <roh> http://www.microcarve.com/mcMV1.html
[20:58:13] <tjtr33> gabewillen, imo if the encoder counter is 'on' the base thread, and it can only count 1 edge per thread cycle, then yes.
[20:58:15] <r00t4rd3d> he posted the plans for that online for free
[20:58:15] <tjtr33> but maybe you're on the servo thread and maybe you have hardware counter that you can look at each thread cycle.
[20:58:38] <roh> r00t4rd3d: yeah, but i got no mill big enough to make the parts

[21:07:55] <Loetmichel> mdf for a mill frame is a bad choice
[21:08:04] <tjtr33> gabewillen, also "It also exports two functions. 'encoder.update-counters' must be called in a high speed thread, at least twice the maximum desired count rate"
[21:08:18] <tjtr33> and suggests using hdwr if you need better performance

[22:02:21] <andypugh> r00t4rd3d: By a curious coincidence, I just got back down to the computer after stripping and cleaning an actual genuine Renishaw touch-probe.
[22:05:42] <r00t4rd3d> i will cut my prototype soon
[22:06:00] <andypugh> It was full of coolant residue, and all oily inside. It now _does_ trigger the continuity beeper on my multimeter.

[22:06:45] <andypugh> I should have taken photos, there are some interesting design features.
[22:07:53] <andypugh> There is a 3-slot insulator about 1" deep that the pins run in, that takes the torque when you tighten the probe.
[22:08:29] <andypugh> Next to the slots are 6 holes, these have gold-plated springs that press on the balls at the bottom, and the PCB at the top.
[22:10:03] <andypugh> I don't know how the balls are held. They appear to be glued into a bit of aluminium. Presumably rather carefully so that they don't make conductive contact with the alumnium

[22:18:42] <r00t4rd3d> thats what i got so far
[22:19:43] <r00t4rd3d> the ring on the left is just in case i need more room :)
[22:20:36] <r00t4rd3d> will depend on the spring size i use i guess
[22:20:36] <andypugh> One huge error there..
[22:20:45] <r00t4rd3d> wood is good
[22:21:18] <andypugh> No problem with wood, wood I like.
[22:21:53] <r00t4rd3d> then whats the error?
[22:21:58] <andypugh> You have the wrong number of balls and rods.
[22:22:32] <r00t4rd3d> there was only 3 in the original design
[22:22:42] <andypugh> Yes, because 4 won't work.
[22:23:11] <andypugh> The three rods / 6 balls thing is the truly clever part of the original Renishaw patent.

[22:23:38] <andypugh> It is perfectly constrained, but not over-onstrained.
[22:23:57] <r00t4rd3d> thats how i am doing it, different then ren i believe
[22:24:23] <r00t4rd3d> looks for breaks in the contacts so it dont matter how many their are i dont think
[22:24:42] <andypugh> Well, he has his wored wrong too.
[22:24:46] <andypugh> (wired)
[22:25:14] <andypugh> As far as I can see he has to break A and either of B and C to get a probe.
[22:25:29] <andypugh> The contacts all go in series.
[22:25:48] <r00t4rd3d> http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cIsKr-pWlOY/T4C3QVwZOzI/AAAAAAAAAEw/8tyS0dtNjT8/s1600/bottomView.JPG
[22:25:59] <r00t4rd3d> but the brass rods he uses rests on both screws
[22:26:55] <andypugh> Yes.
[22:26:59] <r00t4rd3d> so if either side lifts, its a break
[22:27:07] <r00t4rd3d> on any screw
[22:27:08] <andypugh> Not with his wiring.
[22:29:40] <r00t4rd3d> if the inside bars come off either b or c that are not connected only to each other, that will cause a break in the circuit
[22:30:17] <andypugh> No, because A is offering an alternative path.
[22:31:00] -!- vladimirek has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[22:31:29] <r00t4rd3d> so how should it be wired?
[22:32:07] <andypugh> Wire to one A contact, and one B contact.
[22:32:34] <andypugh> so current flows through A, B and C and breaking any one stops the current.
[22:32:46] -!- tanepiper has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[22:33:09] <r00t4rd3d> what if you only got 2 wires?
[22:33:27] <r00t4rd3d> how do you tie c in ?
[22:33:30] <andypugh> There should only be 2 wires.

[22:34:00] zenek is now known as micges
[22:34:08] <r00t4rd3d> so 1 wire goes to both a screws, then 1 wire to both b screws
[22:34:39] <andypugh> The circuit is A1 bar to A2 link to B1 bar to B2 wire to C1 bar to C2 wire back to controller.
[22:34:43] <andypugh> (for example)
[22:35:13] <andypugh> Take out any bar, no contact.
[22:35:47] <r00t4rd3d> should i go back to 3 bars instead of 4?
[22:35:55] <andypugh> Absolutely definitely 100%
[22:36:00] <r00t4rd3d> damn
[22:36:01] <andypugh> 4 simply won't work.
[22:36:21] <andypugh> You can never get all 4 to make contact (unless something bends)
[22:36:35] <r00t4rd3d> i see what you mean now, if a is touching and b/c breaks it wont sense it
[22:36:48] <andypugh> Consider an infinitley stiff table on floor, compared to a three-legged stool.
[22:38:05] <andypugh> The 3-bar design really is very clever the way it absolutely centres the probe.
[22:38:50] <andypugh> My Renishaw has a spherical seat at the top and 4 mounting screws. The idea is that you can adjust the probe to make the ball run 100% true.
[22:39:22] <andypugh> By slackening one screw and tightening its partner you fractionally tilt the whole head.
[22:40:11] <PCW> isn't that one of those cheap Renshaw knock-offs
[22:41:19] <andypugh> If I was making a probe (and I did intend to, actually) I would use some of the many 2.5mm broken carbide milling cutters I have. It is better if the rods and balls have very little friction, so hard is good. (carbide does conduct).
