[02:26:54] <L84Supper> ah it's cheaper since it doesn't come with the drill bit
[02:28:43] <tjb1> no Valen, I am not a girl
[02:29:13] <Valen> oh ok then
[02:29:17] <Valen> go strip for money
[02:31:54] <Jymmm> He'd have to issue refunds.
[02:32:22] <Connor> PetefromTn: I just found a whole slew of pc817 opto's in my stock.
[02:33:20] <PetefromTn> Cool man can we use those? Ran some programs with the machine after you left and it seemed to run real nice and smooth.
[02:33:45] <Connor> Yea. Those are the ones Lee suggested.. Exact model. :)
[02:34:30] <PetefromTn> SWEET!!
[02:35:16] <Connor> So, I need to come up with a simple schematic for the circuit.
[02:35:20] <PetefromTn> Anyone got a link to a youtube video of a full blown 3d machining project I mean constant contouring etc..
[02:35:54] <PetefromTn> Connor: So I am gonna get the differential encoder tomorrow then? I think that is what we decided.
[02:36:32] <Connor> Yea. We don't have to use it differential if we don't want to.. but, if you need it, we can. no extra line driver needed. How much was it compared to the other one ?
[02:36:51] <PetefromTn> About the same really...standby
[02:37:52] <PetefromTn> first one.....
http://www.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?lang=en&keywords=heds-5540%20a06&WT.term=heds-5540%20a06&WT.mc_id=Sensors,%20Transducers&WT.medium=cpc&WT.campaign=Sensors,%20Transducers&WT.srch=1&WT.content=text&WT.source=google&cur=USD
[02:38:25] <PetefromTn> second one....
http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/HEDL-5540%23A06/516-2750-ND/2219462
[02:38:31] <PetefromTn> Same price apparently...
[02:40:01] <Connor> yup. go for the 516-2750-ND
[02:41:31] <mr_new> why not the amt102?
[02:41:31] <Connor> http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10232#1023216
[02:42:22] <Connor> Cat6 cables.. shielded ones at the bottom.
[02:42:45] <mr_new> http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en/sensors-transducers/encoders/1966131?k=amt102
[02:43:01] <PetefromTn> Oh do you think we need the cat cables, I thought we were gonna try the original cable unless it did not work...
[02:43:23] <Connor> mr_new: He's looked at those.. but, it's concerned about melting the plastic hub with this spindle.
[02:43:34] <Connor> PetefromTn: Oh yea.. too many thoughts going through my head.
[02:44:01] <mr_new> i use them
[02:44:02] <PetefromTn> mr_new: Hey man thanks for the link. I actually have an AMT here and while they make a great encoder I honestly don't trust the plastic coupling to the shaft on a 12k rpm motor that controls my spindle alignment for a toolchange.
[02:44:10] <jdh> the encoder shaft will get hot enough to melt plastic?
[02:44:38] <PetefromTn> No honestly it is not really the heat I am worried about it is slippage...
[02:44:59] <PetefromTn> Anyone got a link for the 3d milling with linuxCNC videos?
[02:45:43] <mr_new> if it becomes as hot as you are worry about the plastic you shoulg get worry about your bearings
[02:46:13] <Connor> It's a BIG spindle.. 7.5kw ?
[02:46:21] <Connor> or was that HP.. I don't remember.
[02:46:49] <mr_new> i use them on a 3kw motot
[02:46:49] <PetefromTn> Again not worried about heat....
[02:47:12] <PetefromTn> It is a 5.5kw 7.5HP motor that spins at 12k RPM max
[02:47:40] <mr_new> PetefromTn: i was just to slow tipping on my phone
[02:49:48] <PetefromTn> okay man cool. As I said NOTHING against AMT encoders, I have four of them on my last machine and they are excellent. The commercial nature of this machine and the high speed motor just makes me nervous about using an encoder that clamps onto the shaft using plastic press fittings. This encoder will be responsible for the safety of my toolchanger and I honestly don't want anything that is not dead reliable and these have
[02:49:48] <PetefromTn> setscrew locking to the shaft with steel collars.
[02:50:49] <jdh> what load is on the disk
[02:52:22] <PetefromTn> None....
[02:55:16] <Connor> The likely hood is slim that the AMT102 would have issues.. but, for $23.00 more, he can have a alum hub, and zero chance.. So, If $23.00 buys him the extra peace of mind.. the that's a bargain.
[02:55:35] <Connor> then that's a bargain...
[02:55:59] <jdh> sure
[02:56:35] <jdh> I'm all for other people spending money
[02:56:48] <Connor> Uh Hu. :)
[02:57:24] <PetefromTn> Jeez man you must work for CUI or something LOL
[02:57:36] <Connor> Who ?
[02:58:55] <Connor> I *DO* like the way they install.. using that little tool.. makes it real easy to get dead on. I had a PITA installing 100 count USDigital ones on my robot. of course, part of the problem was the cast iron magnet core I was using to mount the encoders too.. it broke a few drill bits and taps..
[02:59:13] <Connor> and my shaft adapters aren't exactly the best in the world.. but, it works.
[03:00:07] <PetefromTn> CUI makes AMT encoders as far as I recall.
[03:00:46] <Connor> Yea. I'm talking about the Optical USDigital ones similar to what your getting... I had 3 of them given too me. 100 Line, no index.

[03:02:22] <PetefromTn> Trying to find youtube videos of actual 3d milling on linuxCNC...any ideas

[03:04:09] <jdh> oh :) you should make one after you are done
[03:04:56] <jdh> the only really good videos I've seen were 4/5 axis and proprietary controls
[03:05:19] <PetefromTn> yes exactly....

[03:09:01] <PetefromTn> YEAH BABY....that's what I'm talking about.....just wanted to see a mill running linuxCNC do some actual constant contouring and make something cool. Once my mill is operational I have been wanting to machine a guitar for myself, nice to know it can do the deed...
[03:09:42] <jdh> 316 guitar?

[13:07:30] <mr_new_> specialy when i dont know an ide^^
[13:07:41] <AR_> usually i compile without errors
[13:07:48] <mr_new_> R2E4: errors arent the problem, but not knowing the ide
[13:07:57] <mr_new_> and xilinx ide is not easy i think
[13:08:30] <AR_> loll
[13:08:35] <AR_> it sucks
[13:08:45] <R2E4> I didnt mean it errors out and aborts the compile, if you look while it is crunching, you will most proably see a few errors.

[13:10:35] <mr_new_> it cant find a library function
[13:10:43] <AR_> what function
[13:10:45] <mr_new_> but if i add, i get more errors
[13:10:57] <mr_new_> sslbp
[13:11:36] <AR_> ask azonenberg in ##electronics
[13:11:49] <R2E4> BP boss 9 with Aspire is not good. Bridgeport post does not work with Aspire. It is for the EZTrack BP.
[13:11:54] <R2E4> BAAAA!!!!
[13:11:56] <AR_> he is the xilinx queen

[13:53:08] <xxoxx> I've got a die sinker
[13:53:29] <xxoxx> trying to figure out how to convert it to CNC operation
[13:53:34] <AR_> there are X Y Z axis but it doesnt have to be in a mill or lathe configuration
[13:53:51] <AR_> you could drive a robot with it
[13:53:52] <xxoxx> EDM the tool gets eaten away
[13:54:00] <xxoxx> so Z zero changes
[13:54:41] <xxoxx> wonder how to handle this
[13:55:01] <AR_> keep subtracting from your Z moves
[13:55:15] <xxoxx> right. that's what I was thinking
[13:55:25] <xxoxx> just wondering if this been done in LinuxCNC
[13:55:36] <xxoxx> or I'd have to add that myself
[13:56:00] <xxoxx> it would be cool to cut steel or brass mold that way
[13:56:09] <AR_> yeah

[17:43:50] <sadara> Two questions: 1: Has anyone here designed/built a linear drive? 2:What type of motor (what would it be called) if you took a car alternator and applied power to both the stator and the rotor coils? It's not a PMSM, because they is no permanent magnets, and because the rotor is energised directly, it not a coreless either. I'm trying to research it a bit, but need to know what it is called
[17:45:19] <IchGuckLive> sadara: welcome to our ICQ
[17:45:21] <pcw_home> its a synchronous 3 phase motor
[17:45:37] -!- sliptonic [sliptonic!~sliptonic@li208-58.members.linode.com] has joined #linuxcnc
[17:45:40] <IchGuckLive> why liniar wotory better to control
[17:46:11] <WalterN> L84Supper: well, the laser was at my door, but I wasent awake to sign for it... so I'll probably get it tomorrow
[17:46:43] <sadara> IchGuckLive: linear is faster, lower inertia, and just as easy to control
[17:46:45] <IchGuckLive> WalterN: did you find a powersupply
[17:47:10] <pcw_home> the alternator is drivable like a PMSM as long as you supply field power
[17:47:16] <sadara> pcw_home: Just syncronous, PMSM is Permanent magnet sync, is there an acronym or something?
[17:47:52] <WalterN> IchGuckLive: kinda... one was $600 for just the driver (its not a complete power supply...)
[17:48:48] <pcw_home> Just synchronous (lots of BIG AC motors used to be synchronous not sure if they are common anymore)
[17:48:53] <WalterN> I dont think I want to pay that much for 5 pieces of electronics
[17:49:04] <sadara> found it, DC-excited sync motor
[17:50:57] <sadara> Thanks pcw. (I'm figuring a linear drive is just a flat motor, and you don't need slip rings to energise the "rotor")
[17:51:47] <pcw_home> They have one advantage compared to PMSM in that you can adjust the
[17:51:49] <pcw_home> field for different torque/speed characteristics
[17:51:51] <Connor> pcw_home: On pete's encoder + prox sensor issue. I have some optos that will work.. I just need clarification on what to do with the index side of the opto. Do I tie the index to the collector (with resistor in series and then tie that to the mesa input ?
[17:52:16] <Connor> I.E. index acts as if it's suppling the Vcc to the opto...
[17:52:52] <L84Supper> IchGuckLive: continuous motion in one direction, 300mm/sec
[17:53:14] <pcw_home> index --> collector --> emitter --> pulldown --> 7I77 input
[17:54:53] <Connor> okay. the resistor on the pulldown is tied to grown.. simple schematic would be helpfull.
[17:55:07] <pcw_home> the fly in that particular ointment is that the 7I77 encoder input already has a pullup in TTL mode so the pulldown needs to be quite stiff (if you had a active low index it would be better)
[17:56:05] <pcw_home> If you use a differential encoder you would have both index polarities available
[17:56:12] <L84Supper> IchGuckLive: length is 2 meters, width is 330mm
[17:56:43] <Connor> We will be using a differential encoder.. but only in single ended mode to start off with unless we have issues..
[17:57:07] <pcw_home> then the active low index --> opto emitter --> opto collector --> 7I77 index input
[17:57:15] <L84Supper> IchGuckLive: the concern with a timing belt is the vibration it will introduce
[17:57:16] <Connor> I have a slew of PC817 opto's
[17:58:03] <IchGuckLive> L84Supper: agree on that
[17:58:30] <pcw_home> (using the active low index signal eliminate the pulldown and dueling pullups/pulldowns)
[17:59:08] <Connor> pcw_home: okay, so at that point the active_low index acts as a syncing ground.

[18:00:01] <pcw_home> you need to use the TTL input (I forget which one)

[18:04:40] <AR_> why
[18:05:03] <IchGuckLive> L84Supper: and Robot restarts the programm
[18:05:31] <L84Supper> IchGuckLive: the current application is sheets of foil/film/paper
[18:05:44] <IchGuckLive> ah ok
[18:05:46] <Connor> pcw_home: looks like pin 23 is IDX5 and ping 24 is /IDX5
[18:06:11] <L84Supper> but a 3D printer might use a belt to carry parts through different deposition systems for different types of layers/materials
[18:06:18] <IchGuckLive> Dorner 2100 Series 930132 Conveyor Belt 10" X 84" this is the best offer i get
[18:06:45] <L84Supper> IchGuckLive: yeah, talked to their engineers again earlier today
[18:06:47] <pcw_home> 7I77 manual should say which in to use when in TTL mode
[18:07:34] <IchGuckLive> i woudt go for a pallet changer
[18:07:49] <Connor> Only thing I found in manul is on page 53
[18:07:53] <IchGuckLive> this gives you a better then <50µm
[18:07:59] <Connor> INPUT TTL MODE THRESHOLD 1.4 1.8 Volts
[18:08:08] <Connor> that's the ONLY TTL I found in the manual
[18:08:54] <Connor> When used with single ended encoders, the ENCA+, ENCB+ and IDX+ signals are wired to the encoder and the ENCA-,ENCB-, and IDX- terminal left unconnected.

[19:46:55] <sadara> I havn't desided, you can do it one of two ways, either using "electromagnets" for your "rotor", or using to motors back to back, like an inrunner running inside an outrunner ( or even three motors, "rotor" coils, "stator" coils, them more "rotor" coils, this way you seem not to need a linear bearing at all)
[19:48:24] <sadara> or with permanent magnets as you said, but I'm trying to keep this low cost and high performance, and it's not that difficult by the look of it, but I can say that as I havn't prototyped anything yet

[19:59:21] <sadara> how are you grasping the paper?
[19:59:41] <L84Supper> vacuum table ~1Kg
[19:59:55] <sadara> rollers seem the obvious choise, what is the reason for not using them?
[20:00:06] -!- chillly has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[20:00:07] <L84Supper> roller or belt?
[20:00:20] <sadara> rollers
[20:00:24] <L84Supper> 50um paper thickness
[20:00:34] <L84Supper> sheet not web
[20:01:01] <sadara> hrmmm.... what about electrostatics?
[20:01:17] <L84Supper> foil paper, conductive
[20:01:29] <sadara> on a roll?
[20:01:38] <L84Supper> sheet not roll/web
[20:01:51] <sadara> charge the sheet up
[20:01:54] <L84Supper> 12" x 16"
[20:02:02] <L84Supper> can't
[20:02:16] <sadara> keep it in position using electrostatic charge of same polarity
[20:02:31] <sadara> L84Supper: Whay not?
[20:02:43] <L84Supper> not under my control
[20:02:49] <L84Supper> we get what they give us
[20:02:57] <L84Supper> automated high speed line
[20:03:05] <sadara> does it have to stay exactly flat?
[20:03:10] <L84Supper> yes
[20:03:29] * sadara is thinking realy large diameter roller, like 2-3m
[20:04:16] <L84Supper> belt vs roller
[20:04:24] <L84Supper> stainless vacuum belt
[20:04:39] <sadara> if it can't be bent slightly, does it have to travel in an exactly staight line?
[20:04:51] <sadara> L84Supper: forget the belt for a moment
[20:05:45] <L84Supper> yes in X and Y
[20:06:15] <L84Supper> straight in X with as little Y jitter as possible
[20:06:35] <sadara> so y can't be curved?
[20:06:40] <L84Supper> no
[20:06:44] <sadara> I'm thinking of this as a printer in a production line. sheet of paper comes in, get printed, goes out, whatever happens in the printer is up to you?
[20:15:53] <L84Supper> this belt is the printer
[20:16:50] <L84Supper> sadara: whwn you said roller I thought roller conveyor not a drum
[20:17:45] -!- PetefromTn [PetefromTn!~quassel@66-191-249-180.dhcp.kgpt.tn.charter.com] has joined #linuxcnc
[20:17:57] <L84Supper> a drum that size would be hard to hold to spec
[20:18:01] <sadara> if you can vaccuum the paper onto a rapidly spinning large diameter drum, have the print head directly above the drum, and then airjet the paper off the drum
[20:18:32] <L84Supper> we don't load or unload we just expect some other machine to load and unload
[20:18:54] <L84Supper> we just start when the paper goes down on one end and move it to the other end
[20:19:07] <sadara> what tolerance? (I would be more concerned with keeping the paper square to x axis on the drum)
[20:19:17] <L84Supper> we have no idea what puts it down or pick it up
[20:19:52] <sadara> I would need more information to help with this
[20:20:10] <L84Supper> we compensate for squarness with a 4 camera system that measure reference points then we adjust for skew
[20:20:45] <sadara> if you can adjust for skew, can't you adjust for off-axis distortion?
[20:21:12] <L84Supper> I'd just a like a conveyor that does not jitter in the Y (side to side) since the x is constant speed
[20:21:40] <sadara> yeah, a large diameter drum emulates that
[20:21:49] <L84Supper> yes, but the Y axis movement is only a concern between when the camera inspects it and 20 inches later when the printer puts the ink down
[20:22:51] <sadara> put the camera 20 inches back along the circumferance of the drum
[20:22:59] <L84Supper> the camera might see oe thing and if there is distortion before the ink goes down that is the only problem
[20:23:38] <sadara> if you do it right, the paper would be held firmly on the drum, either unisng electrostatics or vaccuum
[20:23:44] <L84Supper> giant 2 meter flyweel
[20:24:35] <L84Supper> thats not going to fit in the floor space available
[20:25:07] <L84Supper> not many places can machine a 2m dia drum
[20:25:19] <sadara> I may be wrong, but I'm working it out to 20 rpm
[20:25:42] <sadara> go to 100rpm and make drum smaller
[20:26:30] <L84Supper> lets just sat drum won't work since we are told that the belt has to be flat
[20:26:49] <L84Supper> we have no control over what comes before or after this machine
[20:26:56] <sadara> so your trying to accelerate a stainless belt to 2m a sec in 2m?
[20:26:58] <L84Supper> it would make it easier if we did
[20:27:04] <L84Supper> no

[20:28:20] <sadara> how many sheetsper min?

[22:08:42] <pcw1204> If it squeals its probably means you are current limiting on the 7I39

[22:09:33] <andypugh> (duty cycle)
[22:10:23] <andypugh> But, it only has 1.5 ohms winding resistance, I suspect it basically isn't "inductive" enough.
[22:10:52] <pcw1204> duty cycle determines voltage so 40% of full voltage can easily be too much current unless spinning
[22:11:28] <andypugh> Right, which fits with my thoughts that I need to re-wind it with thinner wire.
[22:11:55] <pcw1204> if its inductance you might try a high PWM rate

[22:13:10] <pcw1204> depending on your magnetic circuit you may have pretty low indcutance
[22:13:46] <andypugh> I think that is the problem. Hence wanting to try thinner wire.
[22:14:02] <FinboySlick> Some of the circuitry I am testing is fairly wide and ISE complains that it ran out of IOBs since the chip doesn't have enough external pins to match. Obviously this is all going to be internal logic and not connected to pins, is there a way to tell ISE to just not care about this?
[22:14:46] <pcw1204> chose a bigger chip?
[22:15:02] <pcw1204> or wire it all to a big mux

[22:18:54] <pcw1204> yes as long as they can be read externally

[22:22:23] <pcw1204> remember inductance is proportional to turns squared
[22:24:30] <andypugh> Current wire is .45mm / 26 gauge. I am trying to decide between 30 gauge (half the area, twice the turns, 4x the DC resistance, 4x the inductance) and .28mm (32 gauge) where the factor is 2.6 / 6.6
[22:26:22] <pcw1204> I suspect 30 would be better
[22:26:23] <andypugh> I suppose I could try both, it's only really really tedious to re-wind. :-)
[22:26:47] <pcw1204> but thats just a guess
[22:26:50] <andypugh> Yes, I suspect I would get into current-density problems with the 32.
[22:27:38] <andypugh> Though 32-gauge delta might be right.
[22:27:47] <pcw1204> can you measure how much torque you are getting with a DC supply for a sanity check?
[22:28:19] <pcw1204> (or measure the BEMF)
[22:28:42] <andypugh> Measuring bemf sounds easier.
[22:29:14] <pcw1204> do you have a lab supply?
[22:29:29] <andypugh> I used to design dynos for testing small electric motors, but that was a few jobs ago ;-)
[22:29:49] <andypugh> The DC supply is easy. measuring the torque less to.
[22:30:12] <pcw1204> BEMF when spun will give you an idea of the correct number of turns

[23:27:40] <Tom_itx> and what are you going to?

[23:27:48] <andypugh> No, H is the reference voltage out of the drive.
[23:28:34] <PetefromTn_> Where and how would you get direction input then?
[23:29:08] <andypugh> The FW and RV terminals.
[23:29:17] <andypugh> (page 25)
[23:29:41] <andypugh> For extra fun it seems that you can set up the terminals in a number of ways in software.
[23:30:02] -!- chopper79 [chopper79!~Jeremy@66.94.201.202] has joined #linuxcnc
[23:30:25] <PetefromTn_> Not seeing the fw and rv...
[23:30:47] <andypugh> Table in Page 25.
[23:31:22] <andypugh> It looks like you can configure any of the logic inputs to be any of the functions in that table.
[23:31:51] <PetefromTn_> Are you sure it is page 25 cause I don't see it...
[23:32:02] <JT-Shop> http://www.spyder.brp.com/compare-models?categoryCode=RT
[23:32:12] <andypugh> It is the page that says 25 at the bottom.
[23:32:35] <Tom_itx> gotta love pdf files
[23:33:04] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop, you gettin a new toy?
[23:33:14] <PetefromTn_> Oh okay not the PDF page now I see it..LOL
[23:34:26] <JT-Shop> making one Tom_itx
[23:35:16] <PetefromTn_> SO what you are saying is that there are some terminals pins that are configurable and I can hookup an output from linuxCNC to two of them one for FWD and one for REV. What pins are the configurable outputs?
[23:35:54] <andypugh> Page 27 explains, I think.
[23:36:18] <andypugh> I am looking at the 7i77 manual to try to figure out which wiring scheme to use.
[23:37:13] <JT-Shop> hmmm wrong link lol
[23:37:21] <PetefromTn_> Thanks man...I am looking at page 23 and it seems that pins 1,2, and L are the intelligent input terminals and perhaps that is how I should hookup.
[23:37:46] <andypugh> 7i77 are sourcing type, so you need to follow the scheme on the bottom of page 29, ]
[23:38:11] <andypugh> Pins 1 to 7 are all "intelligent inputs"
[23:38:25] <andypugh> L is the GND I think.

[23:39:02] <andypugh> Page 27 is the one you need to read carefuly.
[23:39:59] -!- stsydow has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[23:41:01] <PetefromTn_> Okay so it looks like a command output from the 7i77 pins output go to the intelligent input pins say 1 and 2 and then where would you hook the ground from L.. Also remove the jumper right?
[23:42:52] <PetefromTn_> I think I get it Andy, thanks man....
[23:43:36] <andypugh> A few more things.
[23:43:56] <PetefromTn_> Now I just need to figure out how to switch this external relay for the fan...
[23:44:14] <andypugh> The motion.spindle-speed-out pin is bipolar, it's a negative number for reverse.
[23:44:57] <andypugh> So, I suggest passing that through an ABS hal function.
http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/abs.9.html
[23:45:13] <PetefromTn_> are you talking about the 7i77 or the vfd?
[23:45:40] <andypugh> Then wire the abs.0.is-positive and abs.0.is-negative pins to the fwd/reverse outputs.
[23:45:55] <andypugh> Neither, I am talking about HAL.
[23:46:18] -!- micges has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[23:46:32] <PetefromTn_> I am sorry for my lack of understanding, hal controls pinouts on the 7i77, correct?
[23:46:37] -!- ravenlock [ravenlock!~ravenlock@enlightenment/developer/ravenlock] has joined #linuxcnc
[23:46:44] <andypugh> Not really.
[23:47:06] <andypugh> HAL controls what the pins on the 7i77 are used for.
[23:48:47] <PetefromTn_> How would you wire the pins for fwd and rev? I originally thought it would take a +/- 10v and the polarity would control the direction but that will not work now so I am not sure if there is a way to use the analog output from the 7i77 to control both the frequency/speed as well as the direction or do I need to configure a couple output pins from the 7i77.
[23:49:29] <andypugh> If you just connect motion.spindle-speed-out to hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.0.analogout-03 (or whatever the pin is called) then anticklockwise rotation commands will output a negative voltage on the analog output, and that will rather confuse the VFD>
[23:49:59] <andypugh> I think you need to use a couple of output pins for FWD/REV
[23:51:12] <PetefromTn_> Okay so we are definitely going to tie up a couple field outputs then....
[23:52:22] <andypugh> It looks like it.
[23:52:53] <andypugh> Are you in danger of running out?
[23:53:04] -!- tmcw has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[23:53:06] -!- jfire has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[23:53:48] <PetefromTn_> No not really but I have not even really started on the toolchanger yet so I am trying to keep them spared as much as possible...
[23:54:52] <andypugh> You can always hook up another 48 IO lines by adding a smart-serial card.
[23:55:12] <PetefromTn_> Yeah I know but I am trying to make this work with just the one card..
[23:55:38] <Valen> still cold there andypugh?
[23:55:47] <andypugh> I am just saying that it isn't an impossible situation of you run out of outputs.
[23:55:56] <andypugh> Warming up here.
[23:56:01] <PetefromTn_> Yeah I understand..
[23:56:08] <Valen> saw your + photos, heh cold
[23:56:50] <andypugh> That's actually my parent's village, we got rather less snow where I live.
[23:57:04] <Valen> ahh
[23:57:16] <andypugh> Only 200 miles away.
[23:57:21] -!- Nick001-Shop has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[23:58:03] <PetefromTn_> So basically configure the outputs for fwd and rev and the O and L for the freq then. What do you think about hooking up the run signal output relay for the fan? I have a 24 volt relay that is hooked to the 220v leads hooked to the fan leads and I want to configure it to come on with the run signal whenever the motor is spinning.
