[01:32:15] <Valen> lol
[01:32:19] * Valen left that club
[01:32:23] <Valen> last week :-<
[01:32:27] <WalterN> ouch
[01:32:34] <L84Supper> welcome old man
[01:32:57] <PetefromTn> So we all talking LinuxCNC or what?
[01:33:04] <L84Supper> yes
[01:33:13] <Valen> why would we talk about that here?
[01:33:19] <WalterN> crazy
[01:33:24] <PetefromTn> Wonderin if my pal Billy is in here...?
[01:33:27] <WalterN> I just wanted to talk about lasers
[01:33:28] <Valen> seesh, kids these days
[01:33:30] <Valen> ;-P
[01:33:48] <PetefromTn> LOL this is cool. Have not been on a chat like this for years...
[01:33:55] <L84Supper> Valen: somebody from the other side of that island you live on was here a few hours ago
[01:34:09] <Valen> wow that must have been early (or late)
[01:34:18] <L84Supper> he was up late
[01:34:27] <L84Supper> Perth
[01:34:34] <PetefromTn> Who is the resident Ladder logic GURU?
[01:34:42] <Valen> as of yesterday thats 4 hours behind
[01:34:58] <L84Supper> wow, clock went back?
[01:35:06] <Connor> PetefromTn: Yup. I'm here.
[01:35:32] <PetefromTn> Hey man HOWYA doing? I just texted ya.... Finally found my way here LOL..
[01:35:42] <gry> PetefromTn: there is a bill1123 but I'm not totally sure it's who you're looking for
[01:36:06] <PetefromTn> Nope its my boy Connor, I think I blew his cover tho LOL...
[01:36:29] <PetefromTn> How do you respond to a specific person like that?
[01:36:31] <Connor> PetefromTn: Yea.. Just got your text and email.. I was away from computer eating Dinner.. left my phone in the office.. Just set back down to finish up some stuff for a client.
[01:36:43] <WalterN> this is getting too scary for me... I'm just going to buy this 30watt laser here
[01:36:44] <Valen> yeah daylight savings ended
[01:36:54] <PetefromTn> No worries man, you have been a great help to me this weekend already. P
[01:37:26] <Connor> PetefromTn: Just start typing their name and hit tab to complete it.. The client will "beep" at them letting them know someone said something with their handle in it..
[01:37:37] <PetefromTn> Connor: Cool...
[01:38:04] <PetefromTn> you'll have me all geeked out before ya know it man...
[01:38:09] <WalterN> I dont think most beep.. most can be set up to beep though
[01:38:23] <PetefromTn> How do you set it, that would be neat...
[01:38:26] <L84Supper> WalterN:
http://www.3ders.org/articles/20120202-low-cost-and-open-source-sls-wax-3d-printer.html
[01:38:52] <Valen> btw you can make wax powder *really* easily ;->
[01:38:55] <WalterN> L84Supper: yeah, I saw that last night...
[01:38:56] <Valen> if extremly messy
[01:39:21] <WalterN> Valen: heated pressure washer?
[01:39:34] <Connor> mIRC and Pidgin both beep... not sure about other clients..
[01:39:47] <Valen> nah, carby
[01:40:03] <Valen> pot of hot wax, tube leading out of it, then blow compressed air over the top
[01:40:11] <PetefromTn> Connor: I downloaded Quassel first one I found that looked okay..
[01:40:14] <Valen> superfine wax powder
[01:40:22] <L84Supper> http://3dprintingindustry.com/2013/02/22/the-first-3d-printed-polymer-implant-to-receive-fda-approval/
[01:40:30] <Valen> will handily fill the workshop in about half a second
[01:40:30] <L84Supper> uses PEEK powder
[01:40:51] <Connor> PetefromTn: Never used that one. I use Pidgin since I'm on Ubunutu. mIRC was what I used when on Windows.. but.. what ever works is good. :)
[01:41:15] <WalterN> HexChat (a fork of Xchat) is my favorite
[01:41:28] <Valen> I use pidgin
[01:41:48] <Valen> though with MSN going away and no real way to integrate with skype :-<
[01:42:00] <Connor> I use Pidgin for AIM and other MSN chat too.
[01:42:16] <Connor> and it supports google+
[01:42:17] <Valen> somebody should make a MSN "server"
[01:42:22] <PetefromTn> Connor: just found it apparently can use sounds notifications but you need the sound byte to use it. Apparently none in there LOL...
[01:42:50] <Connor> Just copy and ol .wav file into it..
[01:43:22] <gry> PetefromTn: settings has a notification panel in Quassel, it can beep too
[01:43:24] <Connor> PetefromTn: On the ladder stuff.. that about the tool changer? because, remap might work good for it too...
[01:43:43] <gry> PetefromTn, (ask in client channel and they'll help to tune it somewhat)
[01:43:46] <PetefromTn> Connor: Gonna work on this Cincinatti arrow some more tomorrow trying to get the Y axis motor installed. Gonna try to use that Halscope for tuning again...
[01:44:18] <PetefromTn> What is client channel?
[01:44:35] <PetefromTn> Don't have any .wav files...
[01:45:00] <Connor> PetefromTn: probably the IRC channel for the program...
[01:45:33] <Connor> Looks like a #quassel channel exists on this server...
[01:46:44] jdh is now known as jdhFromTN
[01:47:02] <jdhFromTN> hmm
[01:47:08] <Connor> jdhFromTN: Smart A$$. :)
[01:47:38] jdhFromTN is now known as jdh
[01:47:39] <Connor> I thought it was jdhNC ? :)
[01:47:44] <jdh> is it?
[01:47:47] <PetefromTn> LOL...okay just downloaded a .wav beep. installing...
[01:47:50] <Connor> not know.. but it was..
[01:47:56] <Connor> a long time ago.
[01:48:05] <jdh> jdh was registered so I couldn't use it.
[01:48:09] <jdh> probably by me.
[01:48:16] <jdh> -NickServ- This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or
[01:48:21] <PetefromTn> jdh: you stealin' my thunder...!!
[01:48:32] <jdh> I seem to have forgotten my password again though
[01:48:39] <Connor> yea. I've had Connor on this server since around 98 maybe ?
[01:49:15] <jdh> heh, I actually avoided this network while lilo was around
[01:49:47] <PetefromTn> Connor: whaddya mean remap?
[01:50:38] <PetefromTn> whatsit mean when the username has a little clock on it? Days numbered or something? LOL
[01:50:39] <Connor> Remap is a module for hal that lets you remap G commands to run programs If I remember correctly.
http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/remap/structure.html
[01:51:00] <Connor> Could be people who are idle ?
[01:51:14] <PetefromTn> How ya go idle?
[01:51:17] <jdh> Pete: I lived in .tn.us for 30ish years
[01:51:20] <Connor> don't type for a while. :)
[01:51:40] <PetefromTn> jdh: Oh Im so sorry LOL...
[01:51:55] <jdh> Pete: I got better about 16 years ago.
[01:52:21] <jdh> evidently I have to go bck in may for a wedding though.
[01:52:23] <Connor> So, the question is, if remap is stable enough now for tool changers.. I think it is. and will be seamless when added into your setup.
[01:52:24] <PetefromTn> Ooh thats good.... I'm trying to prep my house so I can move back to FLorida and sit on the beach.
[01:52:50] <PetefromTn> jdh: cool man look me up...
[01:53:09] <PetefromTn> Honestly I think ladder is the way to go here....
[01:53:17] <Connor> PetefromTn: jdh is a fellow G0704 owner (same mill as mine) He got it around the same time I did..
[01:53:27] <PetefromTn> Whose the resident Ladder logic guru
[01:53:39] <jdh> jt
[01:53:44] <PetefromTn> Well apparently no beep...dunno what I did wrong.
[01:53:56] <Connor> Dunno. jt and skunkworks probably.
[01:54:01] <jdh> I do AB and GE/Fanuc at work though
[01:54:56] <Connor> I know remap can handle everything though.. it basically maps out the G-command to a external program and we can do everything we need in it.
[01:54:58] <PetefromTn> What's AB?
[01:55:13] <Connor> I know little about ladder
[01:55:21] <jdh> allen-bradley
[01:55:44] <PetefromTn> Ladder logic can handle all the If/then stuff which is paramount for safety here I think but I don't know JS about it.
[01:55:57] <PetefromTn> Oh Allen Bradley.
[01:56:10] <Connor> Yea. remap can too.. and allot more.. such as storing variables and counting etc etc.
[01:56:11] <PetefromTn> That's the spensive stuff...
[01:57:25] <Connor> it could also keep track of stuff like how many times a tool was used.. by storing it in a external file every time that tool was used.
[01:58:21] <PetefromTn> Oh really? That is something I would think could come in real handy. Lee uses something OTHER than Ladder logic and not sure exactly what just yet.
[01:58:37] <Connor> Would be Remap. I think that's the only other way.
[01:58:50] <PetefromTn> I will logon to this when I am working on the machine that way when I have questions I can ask away.
[01:59:00] <Connor> Lets you mix Gcode with python programming to do everything you need.
[01:59:45] <PetefromTn> Dunno really he said he has something that uses G code in a seperate program somehow. Wish he was on here. Dunno maybe he is apparently there are 120 other CNC junkies in attendance right now...
[02:00:14] <Connor> Do you know his Handle on IRC ?
[02:00:18] <PetefromTn> I see Chris Radek is in here... He's got some heavy iron retrofitted...
[02:00:37] <PetefromTn> Nope just his Email dunno if he is even on IRC...
[02:01:39] <jdh> you can use m100-m199, but you would have to insert that yourself vs. just M6?
[02:01:49] <PetefromTn> His Email is Lomach and I don't see anything like that in the list right now...
[02:02:32] <PetefromTn> Really want this monster to run exactly like it did when new so that precludes anything but M6 codes...
[02:03:08] <PetefromTn> Are we the only people talking in here right now? All those other 120 folks are awful quiet unless I am missing how to hear them...
[02:03:16] <jdh> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSXR3FsN0EE
[02:03:18] <Tecan> (bSXR3FsN0EE) "Linuxcnc retrofit of a Cincinnati Arrow 500" by "Lee Osborne" is "Tech" - Length: 0:00:46
[02:03:49] <PetefromTn> Tecan: Yup that's him... Sweet looking machine all stealthy like that No?
[02:04:04] <Tecan> hmmm
[02:04:15] <PetefromTn> That is the EXACT same machine I have... Are you Lee?
[02:04:23] <Tecan> Leecan ?
[02:04:49] <PetefromTn> Tecan: Is that his IRC name?
[02:05:21] <PetefromTn> Sure would be nice if he was on here as calling him on the phone in England last time cost me a pretty penny LOL...
[02:05:33] <Connor> PetefromTn: Skype
[02:06:16] <PetefromTn> Connor: yeah we actually talked about doing that.. If I need to I will...
[02:06:19] <Connor> PetefromTn: Honestly, let me just write it up with remap. Because I'll end up using 80% of it for my tool changer when I get it built.
[02:06:32] <Connor> It'll use the M6 tool change command.
[02:06:41] <PetefromTn> Why don't you want to use the ladder logic?
[02:07:02] <PetefromTn> oh and what is 3voiced?
[02:07:34] <Connor> I don't know ladder and you can do allot with more with remap.
[02:08:09] <PetefromTn> I favorited the link about remap. Gonna read it some tomorrow...
[02:08:40] <Connor> Okay.. it's mix between G-Code and Python. which lets you do ANYTHING just about.
[02:08:46] <Connor> Ladder is a bit more old-school
[02:08:56] <L84Supper> anyone ever see a flexible encoder strip that could be applied to a conveyor belt, need ± 50 µm (0.002")
[02:09:02] <PetefromTn> Yeah I LIKE old school....usually means it works good.
[02:10:36] <Connor> Hmm.. I can't load the Ladder Editor on my Simulator
[02:10:47] <Connor> and andy is already logged off..
[02:11:36] <PetefromTn> Andy who?
[02:12:14] <Connor> Andy Pugh
[02:12:18] <Valen> L84Supper: perhaps a magentic one?
[02:12:38] <PetefromTn> Big John sent me a simulation setup with a ladder logic of a toolchanger of some sort to look at and said to run it in simulation mode to see how it all works. Said it is not rocket science...
[02:12:47] <PetefromTn> Oh okay...
[02:13:00] <PetefromTn> He's in England so it must be getting late over there I suppose.
[02:13:35] <PetefromTn> ooh Lookey we got Fox Mulder in here, from the X files. Cool
[02:14:00] <PetefromTn> Why does it seem like I'm doing all the talking LOL...
[02:14:20] <Connor> It comes in waves. :)
[02:14:33] <Connor> Late Sunday it's pretty dead most of time.
[02:14:57] <Connor> and most across the pond are asleep or no up yet.
[02:15:16] <PetefromTn> True...
[02:15:27] <PetefromTn> I see Pete from mesa...
[02:15:39] <Connor> Only reason I'm on is because I'm working late.. :(
[02:15:49] <PetefromTn> You call this working LOL
[02:16:10] <Connor> I'm working in the other window. :)
[02:17:55] <WalterN> L84Supper: well, I bought that laser... $322 shipped
[02:18:13] <PetefromTn> Gonna finish machining the little brass terminals for the power leads to the Y axis motor tomorrow morning so I can finally stick that monster in there. Got lots of cleaning of sludge off the sheetmetal covers then I can put that all back on.
[02:18:46] <Connor> Cool.
[02:18:50] <PetefromTn> I also need to try to figure out how to wire up that spindle drive. Gonna start working on that bad boy tomorrow too...
[02:19:25] <Connor> That'll be fun. I'll see if I can send you the missing files and stuff you need to make the new control panel work..
[02:19:34] <PetefromTn> WalterN: Cool man now you're just like buck Rodgers...
[02:19:50] <WalterN> who is that?
[02:20:00] <PetefromTn> Nevermind...
[02:20:06] <Connor> ROFL
[02:20:26] <PetefromTn> Connor: okay man you'll probably have to tell me how to install them too since Im such a noob...
[02:20:47] <Connor> Yea. not a problem.
[02:21:15] <PetefromTn> Gonna hafta get one of those fancy wireless USB jobs so I can chat while I am tinkering...
[02:21:37] <Connor> Yea. or a long Cat5 cable and just plug it in..
[02:22:43] <PetefromTn> Just reading here about O words and python...
[02:23:27] <PetefromTn> What is NGC?
[02:23:42] <Connor> g file. NGC is the typical extension
[02:23:50] <Connor> err. g code file.
[02:25:01] <PetefromTn> Really, mine is usually .txt...
[02:28:47] <Valen> wires work
[02:28:53] <Valen> wireless is dodgy ;->
[02:29:03] <PetefromTn> Yeah but not nearly as cool LOL...
[02:29:05] <Valen> check device support list before purchasing wirless too
[02:29:31] <PetefromTn> Valen: where ya at Valen?
[02:29:57] <Connor> Down Under it looks like..
[02:30:03] <Valen> sydney au
[02:30:51] <PetefromTn> Wow no kidding... Got a friend in New Zealand who ALSO has a Cincinatti Arrow 500... he texts me sometimes and asks about my retrofit LOL
[02:31:18] <PetefromTn> What time is it In Sydney now?

Dunno if it is in the Hal and INI files doubt it but since I really don't know how he is doing it that is not surprising. He does say that his machine has now performed thousands of toolchanges without issue tho so whatever he is doing is working .

[14:20:17] <chopper79> Hello, I am needing some help with Gantrykins if anyone is familiar with how it functions and how to change some function with it.
[14:21:06] <archivist> ask the real question
[14:22:19] -!- holst has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[14:23:41] -!- mhaberler has quit [Quit: mhaberler]
[14:23:44] <chopper79> I need to find a way to keep joint mode hidden. The only thing I or anyone should see for that matter is world mode? This would be the first with Gantrykins. Is there a way to do this?
[14:28:27] <cradek> I've heard that gentrivkins in joints_axes3 branch will do this, but I haven't tried it and I don't know anything about it
[14:28:32] * JT-Shop wonders if anyone has been happy using gantrykins
[14:29:16] <cradek> I think gantrykins is simply a mistake
[14:30:05] <PetefromTn> that does not sound too promising...
[14:32:28] <R2E4_awy> I tried Gantrykins back when I built my cnc router and I never got it to work right, so I switched to mach3
[14:32:49] <chopper79> hmm... Well I dont really want to use gantrykins as I would rather use trivkins. Trivkins will not allow me to autosquare using a 5I25 board. I can do it with parallel port, just not MESA board.
[14:33:54] <chopper79> From the research I have done.... Nobody likes Gantrykins due to al the bugs. Great idea for sure, just not usable. I was thinking of making some changes to tit and see if I can get something else figured out to make it work like I need
[14:34:01] <cradek> ok, now I know/remember the full question. with software stepgen, you did it by gating step pulses, right?
[14:34:14] <chopper79> yes
[14:34:19] <gene77> Hi Guys, got a show stopper here, 2.6.0-pre, uptodate on all machines
[14:34:30] <chopper79> Still fighting the squaring issue
[14:34:30] <cradek> why not do that same thing in hardware?
[14:35:04] <gene77> 275 lines of code that runs fine in sim mode, won't load on real mode, ideas?
[14:35:07] <cradek> I'm hoping after fest we'll have a better setup, but until then you'll have to be creative
[14:36:16] <gene77> error is in a g2 line, whats dif between sim and real?
[14:36:18] <chopper79> I though abotu hardware, but PCW thinks it would be better doing this in the motion section instead of gates or harware if Im not mistaken.
[14:36:35] <cradek> gene77: so what's the error?
[14:37:08] <cradek> chopper79: sure, he's right, but that doesn't currently exist
[14:37:11] <gene77> radius to end of arc differs, a lot
[14:37:51] <cradek> gene77: pastebin the gcode.
[14:38:15] <gene77> I even copied the machine status from the house machine to the top of the file thinking something there was amiss, no deal
[14:38:28] <gene77> ok, brb
[14:39:40] <cradek> chopper79: like I've talked about before on the channel, I think the right way to do it would be to have master/slave joints in the motion controller
[14:39:48] <cradek> it is nontrivial to do that, to say the least
[14:40:30] <chopper79> exactly, so I am still at the point of figuring out a way to do it in software. Maybe if I can get a home trigger to disable to stepgen until both home swithces are contacted then enable stepgen for only the tandem joints. This is the only thing I can think of since there is no sight of the stepgen using the 5i25. If I had sight over them then I can use gates to do this I guess
[14:41:12] <R2E4_awy> +cradek: I got my machine powered up finally, the BP R2E4
[14:41:16] <cradek> if your stepgens are in position mode, enabling and disabling them probably isn't going to work, because they will want to "catch up"
[14:41:24] <cradek> R2E4_awy: cool
[14:41:26] <chopper79> true
[14:41:44] <R2E4_awy> everything works on it. no errors at all.
[14:41:54] <cradek> it's a christmas miracle
[14:42:08] <R2E4_awy> yeah, except its not christmas.
[14:42:14] <cradek> so are you going to retrofit it?
[14:42:27] <R2E4_awy> I may just leave it like that and drip feed, and use my mesa cards for my next project.
[14:42:46] <cradek> the easiest machine to retrofit is a working one --- but the machine least needing a retrofit is the working one
[14:43:02] <cradek> I am not sure you can drip feed it...? I never got that to work on mine.
[14:43:31] <R2E4_awy> If I cannot drip feed it, I will retrofit it. I will be working on that the next few days.
[14:43:36] <cradek> the memory is limited but unless you're doing crazy contouring it's enough for a lot
[14:43:56] <cradek> do you have a tape reader on it, or just the serial port?
[14:44:13] <R2E4_awy> Getting the 460 3 phase working with 220 single phase was really easy. I was dreading it but it work like a charm.
[14:44:22] <R2E4_awy> 12k onboard
[14:44:34] <R2E4_awy> no tape reader, just serial port
[14:44:45] <cradek> yeah "100 feet of ram" haha
[14:44:46] <gene77> something busted in FF or pastebin.org, claims I am sending an empty paste, so what site works?
[14:45:06] <R2E4_awy> haha....
[14:45:49] <cradek> gene77: there's also a pastebin.ca

[14:47:39] <cradek> it puts the console in input mode, just like you're typing the gcode into the mill's editor, and then "types" it in
[14:48:59] <R2E4_awy> I will try that.

[14:58:44] <PetefromTn> Hal makes me chuckle everytime I hear it....shades of 2001 LOL
[14:59:10] <chopper79> What if we joined the outputs to drive both joint 2 and 4 so they function from 1 stepgen. Then we used .hal to route the home switches so it would....... nevermind
[14:59:14] <chopper79> failed thought
[15:00:04] <pcw_home> Basically you use the raw write routine to set the AltSource register for the I/O pins so the step pin you want to gate
[15:00:05] <pcw_home> gets driven from a output bit instead of the stepgen
[15:02:24] <chopper79> Not sure if basic should be involved with basially. I would be lost on this.
[15:03:05] <pcw_home> The other option I think I mentioned was to home to the AND of the home switches and capture the offset in HAL for application after homing is completed

[15:08:37] <PetefromTn> Yeah Rube Goldberg on stilts...
[15:08:46] <JT-Shop> lol
[15:10:11] <chopper79> I agree
[15:10:43] <chopper79> So still doing this in motion section is the best way as you mentioned before?
[15:12:10] <pcw_home> another just slightly less silly way is to set the stepgen in table mode (so at least you dont need to worry about messing up other altsrc bits)
[15:13:26] <pcw_home> Yes better would be for motion to know how to home linked axis

[15:18:55] <pcw_home> so disabling a stepgen output is like:
[15:18:57] <pcw_home> setp write_address 0x2200 ; stepgen 0
[15:18:59] <pcw_home> setp write_data 0x00000003 ; stepgen mode reg set to table mode
[15:19:00] <pcw_home> setp write_strobe true ; doit

[15:26:08] <gene77> 159
[15:26:13] <cradek> ugh, gcode like this is write-only
[15:26:41] <gene77> tell me about it, I owe you for wading around in that mess.
[15:27:26] <gene77> There are probably vars that never got used too. Or use & never again referenced
[15:27:59] <chopper79> Well I will see what I can do abotu getting that pig to wear a dress and lipstick. I will report later on what I find or figure out.
[15:28:14] <cradek> sorry, I'm not able to decipher this. since you're using g41 I suspect your tool tables are different or something like that.
[15:28:48] <chopper79> Real quick could there not me just a comp that is written to handle this?
[15:28:55] <chopper79> be just
[15:28:57] <gene77> tool 1 is a 1/8" end mill. set at ,125 diameter
[15:30:11] <gene77> I would have used a smaller one, but needed the stiffness since its digging .350" deep at the end.
[15:30:33] <JT-Shop> chopper79: search the forum I seem to remember something like that...
[15:31:04] <cradek> I think it would be possible to write a comp that slaves a joint. it would need intimate knowledge about motion internals (homing states) so I think that's probably not the right way to handle it. wrong layer.
[15:31:48] <JT-Shop> could it just lie about the postion like the thc comp does?
[15:31:52] <cradek> switch-only homing would be a subset of that work and might be a bit more easily done in a comp
[15:32:03] <cradek> yeah seems like
[15:33:00] <cradek> you'd give the comp both home switch signals, and it would also monitor the homing phase (available as a motion output) and it would handle the offsets and generate the virtual home switch signal back to motion as appropriate
[15:33:46] <cradek> but if you want to handle all the different kinds of homing you'll get deep underwater fast

[17:59:49] <WalterN> minimum of 10 amps
[18:00:02] <pcw_home> needs to be a current source

[19:04:52] <chopper79> well, this is really starting to burn my rear. No access is killing me right now. I just need a way to get my signal to a pin. Really did not think it would be this hard to send take control of the pins on these cards.
[19:05:18] <chopper79> Is there a way in hal to have use and availability to the stepgen pins like a parallel port?
[19:05:28] <chopper79> but keep the benifits of the MESA cards?
[19:08:04] <mr_new> pcw_home i would use a daughter card if there is one which works for me

[19:54:00] <sparr> I'm working on a cnc hot wire foam cutter. It has 4 axes (two heads, both with X and Y). I want to drive those axes independently and handle separate endstops for them, but have the option of sending 2D instead of 4D gcode in some cases.
[19:54:11] <sparr> Are there any good open source firmwares that can handle stuff like that?
[19:55:09] <cpresser> sparr: linuxcnc. just have two different configs for each mode
[19:56:12] <chopper79> PCW - I will give the JA3 a try and see what happens. As of now I am at a loss on getting this to work. I know that its not the hardware or anything like that, wish there was a way to handle gantry systems correctly in Linuxcnc. I can get everything to work 98% and then these darn gantry squaring issue and its back to the drawing board yet again.

[20:02:31] <sparr> cpresser: in the mode where they are driven separately, how do I say "stop moving both X axes when one of them reaches its limit switch"?
[20:03:13] <cpresser> in this config: wire them to an 'or'-element
[20:03:30] <cpresser> this can be done in hal very easily

[23:06:36] <chopper79> Well PCW I am going to have to admit defeat on using the MESA boards for this setup and go back to parallel port. Thats really is too bad as I would use baout 600 of these 5i25 boards and about 200 of the THCAD a year to start with. I will play around with them again in my spare time, as of right now this is taking up more time then needs to be taken.

[23:08:00] -!- gambakufu has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
[23:08:40] <andypugh> If it works with a parport it ought to work better with a 5i25.
[23:09:01] <chopper79> squaring seq. and gantrykins is no use.
[23:09:13] <cradek> he's gating step pulses to square a trivkins-gantry
[23:09:29] <cradek> you can't do it so easily if the step pulses aren't available at the hal level
[23:09:30] <andypugh> Ah.
[23:09:48] <chopper79> If I can not square the machine during home like I do now with a parallel port then my hands are tied
[23:10:22] <andypugh> Gating step pulses seems wrong anyway, what does it do to decel ramps?
[23:10:23] <chopper79> Until I can find more time for a work around or Linuxcnc handles gantrys with tandem motors better.

[23:15:28] <cradek> chopper79: joints_axes3 is a branch in git. you can use any documentation that shows you how to check out and build a certain branch. you can probably find instructions for building from v2.5_branch, for instance, but you'd substitute joints_axes3 instead of v2.5_branch
