[00:07:15] <Nick001-Shop> Is that pin file loaded by default or to I have to put in in the dir by hand?
[00:12:25] <PCW> the pin file is just a text file that comes with the firmware
[00:12:34] <andypugh> Pin file is for humans. XML file is for Pncconf. All that Hostmot2 looks at is the actual .bit file.
[00:13:22] <Nick001-Shop> I'll pick this up at the house computer in about 1/2 hr
[00:13:49] <andypugh> I am not at all sure why Pncconf can't parse pin files. I know why it can't trial-load BIT files. That's because I am late on my promises.

[00:15:19] <PCW> you can also get the same info from the kernel log (dmesg)
[00:15:30] <PCW> (after linuxCNC runs)
[00:15:57] <andypugh> I hear you will be in Wichita, Pete?
[00:16:35] <PCW> Yes Friday to Monday
[00:17:33] <andypugh> Be nice to see you again. You are the only other EMC-ista I have met. I have bizarre visions of a Pico-Mesa Death_Match :-)
[00:18:33] <PCW> I doubt there will be fisticuffs
[00:19:36] <andypugh> Top trumps? "I have PCI" ... "Oh"
[00:21:26] <andypugh> I get the impression that the Pico stuff is good, and easy, but hasnt really moved on that much. It seems ideal for that Indian guy, mainly because I know he can buy it, it will work, and it won't be my fault, or your fault, if it doesn't.
[00:22:47] <PCW> I would like to implement the Fanuc serial protocol encoder(and PWM drive) at some point but I dont have the hardware
[00:22:48] <Tom_itx> ok i did a memtest 3x over on the pc and no errors
[00:23:14] <Tom_itx> brought the mill back in where it's cool to try again
[00:25:00] <andypugh> I keep looking for a chap Fanuc motor to test that bldc really does work with them. Though a guy on CNCzone seems to have made it work.
[00:27:06] <PCW> I think it might be wort making a daughtercard with the differential drive, SPI A-D for current sense and correct connector if I could verify it on the hardware
[00:27:18] <PCW> s/wort/worth/
[00:28:20] <PCW> Tom_itx: try a simpler config maybe theres a HAL tangle
[00:28:44] <Tom_itx> i removed all the postgui stuff
[00:28:50] <Tom_itx> in the ini
[00:29:36] <PCW> I would start really simple (like the hm2 sample config, edited to use your bitfile)
[00:30:07] <Tom_itx> this was working fine before i added a couple things to the postgui like cycle timer
[00:30:19] <Tom_itx> i've run quite a few parts with it
[00:32:33] <Tom_itx> i gotta make a boot thumbdrive so i can run memtest on the old pc now
[00:32:42] <Tom_itx> then i'll do some testing with the atom pc
[00:32:46] <PCW> Something changed that caused the problem and interpreter out of sequence sounds like a task/motion/ something haywire
[00:33:39] <PCW> if you have the same error on both machines its unlikely bad memory (and bad memory is likely to cause crashes)

[00:35:10] <PCW> bbl Dinner!
[00:35:12] <andypugh> (for a 5i25, you need to specify firmware for others, unless you loaded it earlier)
[00:35:32] <Tom_itx> this is a 7i43 7i47 using a 7i47 bitfile
[00:35:33] <andypugh> show pin is a command to list all the pins
[00:35:52] <PCW> the problem looks to be higher up (not low level I/O)
[00:36:24] <PCW> thats why I think its not hardware related
[00:37:13] <andypugh> show param / show funct / show thread are also useful (and can be inserted in your HAL file). I tend to put in a "show pin" after the "loadrt" section to have a list of actual pin names to compare error messages to.
[00:37:52] <PCW> (unless there a bug in the hm2 driver that causes breakage elsewhere in some odd circumstances but I think this is not likely)

[00:42:44] <andypugh> Great quote from a friend "I managed to get myself a job that was meant to be Postdoctoral by cashing in my three masters' degrees in the academic equivalent of swapping 3 houses for a hotel in Monopoly"
[00:43:17] <jdh> I'm thinking about using G43 on an outside profile and telling it the tool is 0.020" bigger than it really is, then cutting it again with the correct tool size for a finishing pass. Will this actually work?
[00:44:12] <Tom_itx> unless you have radaii that are smaller than the tool radius plus the .020
[00:44:28] <Tom_itx> then it will bitch
[00:44:54] <andypugh> But yes, that will work.
[00:45:40] <jdh> there are some inside corners. I guess that might trigger that error
[00:45:47] <Tom_itx> you can't just offset the tool .020 in the cad file?
[00:45:48] <andypugh> Ah, err, lathe or mill?
[00:45:54] <jdh> mill
[00:46:14] <andypugh> It will only have any effect at all in G41/G42 mode.
[00:46:16] <Tom_itx> then the path will be corrected
[00:46:29] <jdh> yeah, I guess offsetting and having two different cuts would be better
[00:46:47] <Tom_itx> i always add a bit before the finish pass in the tool path
[00:47:19] <Tom_itx> cut to depth taking however many steps you need then do a final pass at full depth
[00:48:23] <jdh> initial cut (in 0.5" 6061) with a 0.25" end mill, then a finish pass with 0.125 end mill to make the internal radius smaller
[00:51:22] <Tom_itx> it'll really squeal in the corners
[00:51:34] <jdh> or snap
[00:51:42] <Tom_itx> not if you go slow
[00:52:29] <Tom_itx> or make a 'to depth' cut wiht the .125
[00:52:36] <Tom_itx> in the corners then the final pass
[00:52:47] <Tom_itx> takes longer
[00:53:18] <Tom_itx> just make a 'U' lead in / out in each corner then do the whole profile final pass
[00:53:42] -!- rob__H has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[00:53:43] <Tom_itx> probably not practical for production but...
[00:54:21] <Tom_itx> how deep is the final cut?
[00:54:47] <jdh> it is .5" 6061
[00:55:03] <Tom_itx> a .125 em with a .5 flute may be hard to come by
[00:55:25] <jdh> I have 1, and only 1
[00:55:35] <Tom_itx> with a full cut at .5"?
[00:55:37] <jdh> has 1"
[00:55:44] <Tom_itx> good luck
[00:55:58] <jdh> heh, probably flex and/or snap at the bottom
[00:56:27] <Tom_itx> take the corners at 1/2 feed
[00:56:27] <jdh> I'll just do the whole thing with 1/4" endmill and clean up the radius by hand
[00:56:59] <Tom_itx> another thought would be to pre drill the corners with a drill
[00:57:12] <Tom_itx> .125 drill
[00:57:18] <Tom_itx> then do the clean up pass
[00:57:27] <jdh> that's what I was goign to do
[00:57:34] <Tom_itx> there's always more than one way to skin a cat
[00:58:00] <Tom_itx> that might work then, just run that long skinny cutter slow
[00:58:52] <Tom_itx> you sure don't want any flex in your z axis
[00:59:04] <jdh> http://www.artichoke.org/bracket.jpg
[01:00:26] <Tom_itx> you're gonna get chatter with that cutter anyway so why not do the cleanup pass with the .250 em then clean out the corners with the .125
[01:00:47] <Tom_itx> with just a short cutter path
[01:01:05] <jdh> I'd have to code it by hand
[01:01:15] <jdh> or at least extract it by hand
[01:01:18] <Tom_itx> do your lead in / out at like a 20 deg angle or such
[01:01:44] <Tom_itx> that will help blend the cut
[01:02:16] <jdh> yeah, or just clamp it in the vise and use the keyboard
[01:02:39] <Tom_itx> you'll need a .125 radius with a straight cut on each side to get the .250 radius clean then 2 lead in / out moves
[01:04:13] <Tom_itx> you better move your .125 holes though
[01:04:23] <Tom_itx> or they will be undercut
[01:04:36] <Tom_itx> you have the center on the finish cut line
[01:04:56] <Tom_itx> move them in .06250 in x and y
[01:06:03] <Tom_itx> unless that was intentional
[01:06:18] <Tom_itx> sometimes that is done in sheet to avoid tearing
[01:06:46] <jdh> the holes are centered on the finished corner
[01:07:02] <jdh> that is before the finish cut with .125
[01:07:27] <Tom_itx> it doesn't appear so
[01:07:32] <Connor> Question. What do you do when you want to use a end mill with not set screw flat in a set screw holder? Grinding a flat acceptable ??
[01:07:40] <Tom_itx> sure
[01:09:01] <Tom_itx> jdh, if the finished part is to have .125 radius'd corners i think you have those holes too far into the part
[01:09:12] <Tom_itx> or you're removing more than .020 on the finish pass
[01:10:30] <jdh> that was generated with a single finished pass with 0.25. If I recut with a .125, those would disappear
[01:10:48] <Tom_itx> k
[01:10:52] <jdh> this isn't real CAM, it's cut2d... it can only generate cuts for closed vectors
[01:10:53] <Tom_itx> just trying to avoid scrap
[01:11:31] <jdh> I got some plastic the same size for a test cut. In retrospect, the plastic cost almost as much as the aluminum
[01:11:43] <Tom_itx> try wood
[01:11:52] <Tom_itx> or wax
[01:12:04] <jdh> I have no wax, don't like cutting wood, it's messy

[02:35:45] <atom1> i have my current configs for all the pinouts etc
[02:35:49] <cradek> what errors? I didn't read back.
[02:35:56] <atom1> it's really odd
[02:36:13] <atom1> it will stall out during the middle of a cut and sometimes ask for another tool
[02:36:28] <atom1> doesn't always generate an error
[02:36:32] <cradek> oh I remember hearing about that
[02:36:47] <cradek> have you checked dmesg after it happens?

[02:37:36] <atom1> not the most recent but one of them
[02:37:46] <atom1> i believe that one was
[02:38:29] <atom1> also did 'tail -f /var/log/syslog and nothing showed up really
[02:38:29] <cradek> this is three linuxcnc startups, one with debugging on

[02:38:54] <atom1> i can run it again
[02:39:09] <cradek> you always get the weird behavior?

[02:39:34] <atom1> i've cut quite a few parts with no problems
[02:39:35] <jdh> but it is repeatable now?
[02:39:37] <cradek> I'm interested in the dmesg right after you get the weird behavior
[02:39:49] <atom1> started a new file and now it's acting up
[02:39:56] <atom1> i also posted the gcode
[02:40:25] <atom1> http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/cnc_files/Cube.txt
[02:40:42] <atom1> it always happens after the drill and during Tool 5 cuts
[02:41:14] <atom1> it's as if you pushed the pause button
[02:41:32] <cradek> what line does it stop on?
[02:41:38] <atom1> then if you try to continue it acts like it resets the file and asks for the first tool again

[02:43:59] <atom1> i did comment out the postgui.hal and display.xml in the .ini file and it didn't seem to matter
[02:44:33] <atom1> that post is probably before i commented those out
[02:44:36] <cradek> my_jog.hal has complicated stuff hooked to halui pause/resume
[02:44:48] <atom1> it does
[02:45:19] <cradek> are you sure that's not just triggering it? you could watch halui.program.pause with halscope's trigger function
[02:45:34] <cradek> you could also turn on TASK ISSUE debugging and look for program pause messages
[02:46:01] <cradek> or you could unhook all your pendant stuff
[02:46:20] <atom1> DEBUG = 0x7FFFFFFF
[02:46:23] <atom1> right now
[02:46:24] <cradek> the most likely reason you're seeing a pause is that something is pausing it
[02:46:43] <jdh> $200 looks pretty sw33t
[02:46:44] <atom1> i could remove the pendant code entirely

[02:59:50] <jdh> any pause/resume/on/off pins?
[03:00:28] <atom1> monitoring the halui.program.is-paused .pause and .is-running
[03:00:41] <atom1> .is-paused is yellow the other 2 are red
[03:00:50] <atom1> but .is-paused was red
[03:01:50] <atom1> i'm also using some direct inputs to the extra 50 pin header on the 7i43 using some pullup resistors
[03:02:27] <atom1> i'd have to check exactly which lines they are and if they pull up or down, i don't recall off hand
[03:02:40] <atom1> i wonder if those resistors may not be strong enough
[03:02:49] <atom1> iirc i used 330 ohm
[03:03:27] <atom1> ok it keeps switching the .is-paused pin, now it's red
[03:03:34] <atom1> and also generated another error
[03:03:55] <atom1> can't do that (EMC_TASK_PLAN_RUN) in manual mode
[03:04:07] <jdh> seems like is-paused is just a symptom, same as the error message. Do you have any pins tied to modes?
[03:04:07] <skunkworks> noise
[03:04:50] <atom1> just a sec i'll post a screen shot
[03:05:26] <cradek> you should monitor with halscope's triggering. nothing else will catch noise.
[03:05:51] <atom1> i wasn't sure how to set that up so i tried this first
[03:05:53] <cradek> you pretty clearly just have a noise problem don't you? I mean you used debounce already for some stuff as a workaround.
[03:06:10] <cradek> your pendant stuff is randomly flailing on all the halui inputs
[03:06:48] <atom1> i used debounce on the limit switches
[03:06:53] <atom1> afik that was it
[03:06:54] <cradek> why?
[03:07:16] <atom1> http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/cnc_files/screenshot.png
[03:07:33] <atom1> because they were bouncing when the machine was on
[03:07:42] <atom1> i did watch that on halscope
[03:08:31] <cradek> do you understand that this is probably another symptom of the same problem?
[03:08:47] <atom1> i'm kinda leaning toward the pullups on the io
[03:08:49] <cradek> you should work on fixing the problem in hardware, not software
[03:08:49] <atom1> yes
[03:09:08] <atom1> i rewired the whole machine using shielded wire on all the io and motors
[03:09:16] <atom1> it helped alot
[03:09:20] <jdh> I have one flakey home/limit switch that I debounce. It's just not quite as flakey now.
[03:09:24] <cradek> yes maybe you need pullups or something
[03:09:41] <cradek> there may be pullup-related settings in the mesa stuff, not sure
[03:09:43] <atom1> i did have to invert the logic on those directly tied to the 7i43
[03:10:00] <atom1> are they 3.3v or 5v logic at that point?
[03:10:12] <cradek> but you've sure got a hardware problem, don't try to fix it in software
[03:10:29] <atom1> i'm not disagreeing with that
[03:10:36] <cradek> I don't know, sorry, check the 7i43 manual
[03:10:52] <atom1> i just wasn't sure what direction to head but i think i have an idea now
[03:11:09] <atom1> i'll disable the pendant and see what happens
[03:11:12] <cradek> great
[03:11:24] <atom1> but probably not tonight
[03:11:42] <jdh> I got a 7i37ta for my other port. Makes everything simple.
[03:11:48] <atom1> it had been working ok for a while though so i really didn't suspect it
[03:12:04] <atom1> i got a 7i47 on the first port
[03:12:36] <atom1> the 2nd port is direct wired
[03:12:54] <atom1> and some of the pendant switches are on it i'm sure
[03:13:03] <atom1> i'll dig out my wiring chart tomorrow
[03:14:00] <atom1> jdh, the 7i37 is just a buffered io isn't it?
[03:14:29] <atom1> i wonder if the buffers are schmitt triggers
[03:15:04] <jdh> more than just buffered
[03:15:32] <jdh> http://www.mesanet.com/aiodaughter.html
[03:16:09] <jdh> it will drive anything reasonable, high or low and read anything reasonable.
[03:16:27] <atom1> how much was it?
[03:16:44] <jdh> $80 maybe. About the same as the 7i47
[03:19:21] <atom1> yeah, looks like the regular one is 69 and the screw terminals are 79
[03:20:11] <atom1> does that require a bitfile for it?
[03:20:52] <atom1> i wonder how you'd combine the 7i47 and 7i37 bitfiles if it isn't
[03:21:07] <jdh> mine does both
[03:21:23] <atom1> both what?
[03:21:38] <jdh> 7i47 & 7i37ta (on a 7i43)
[03:21:55] <atom1> oh so you're running basically the same setup
[03:22:12] <atom1> what bitfile do you use for it?
[03:22:17] <jdh> ignoring the part about mine working,sure :)
[03:22:56] <atom1> i had all that xilinx stuff loaded once but i don't think it is now
[03:23:15] <jdh> can't see it from here. It is one of the stock ones
[03:23:36] <atom1> i think i had to get mine from mesa
[03:23:51] <atom1> i don't think it came by default
[03:26:41] <jdh> loadrt hm2_7i43 config="firmware=hm2/7i43-2/SVST2_4_7I47.BIT
[03:27:00] <atom1> that looks the same
[03:27:02] <jdh> maybe I did get it from mesa
[03:27:38] <atom1> firmware=hm2/7i43-4/SVST2_4_7I47B.BIT
[03:27:57] <jdh> I have the little one
[03:28:03] <atom1> mine is B
[03:28:04] <atom1> yes
[03:28:12] <atom1> 'big'
[03:28:36] <atom1> probably didn't need it
[03:30:52] <atom1> loadrt hostmot2
[03:30:56] <atom1> is that right?
[03:31:10] <atom1> i don't have hm2_7i43 that i see
[03:31:55] <atom1> or is that the same?
[03:32:43] <jdh> my install has hm2_7i43 and hm2_pci
[03:33:04] <atom1> you have a pci card?
[03:33:09] <jdh> no
[03:33:20] <atom1> i wonder what the difference is
[03:33:22] <jdh> my linuxcnc install. My hal config has the line I pasted above.
[03:33:44] <atom1> my hal has the line i pasted
[03:34:32] <atom1> running again with no pendant code loaded

[03:37:37] <grandixximo> i was wondering if there is any new hardware with low latency
[03:38:10] <grandixximo> and does DCP latency have anything to do with the real-time latency of linuxcnc?
[03:38:35] <grandixximo> DPC latency sorry
[03:39:05] <atom1> well it ran clear through that time
[03:39:29] <atom1> i bet it's the pullups on my pendant io going to the 7i43 2nd port
[03:39:49] <atom1> maybe i should get one of those 7i37ta cards

[13:45:58] _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman
[13:49:05] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: It's Saturday and not even 7am yet.
[13:49:18] <Tom_itx> i'm aware
[13:55:37] -!- morfic- has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[13:55:52] <Tom_itx> i wondered how strong the pullups are on the 7i43 when W3 is enabled
[13:56:29] <Tom_itx> i believe the IO is 3.3v but 5v tolerant if W2 is enabled
[13:58:20] <Tom_itx> i think my issue has been my pull downs on my pendant buttons (PROG RUN,SPINDLE and PAUSE) may not be strong enough to overcome the pullups on the board
[13:59:11] <Tom_itx> it was necessary to reverse the logic of the io iirc
[14:03:56] <pcw_home> dueling pullups/pulldowns?
[14:04:04] <Tom_itx> it appears so
[14:04:14] <Tom_itx> i'm using 330 ohm pulldowns
[14:04:50] <Tom_itx> removed the pendant code last night and it ran fine
[14:04:59] <Tom_itx> got me thinking about the wiring
[14:06:02] <Tom_itx> so at that point is the logic 3.3v or 5v?
[14:06:35] <pcw_home> Since the 7I43 has built in pullups is better to use pullups (and active low inputs) than pulldowns
[14:06:47] <pcw_home> s/is/its/
[14:06:55] <Tom_itx> i had an issue with the spindle running on startup though
[14:07:01] <Tom_itx> so i had to reverse the logic
[14:07:31] <pcw_home> logic is always TTL (so ~1.4v input thresholds)
[14:08:06] <Tom_itx> will it hurt anything having the pulldowns fighting with the onboard pullups?
[14:08:29] <Tom_itx> i may try a 100 ohm r and see if that clears it up
[14:08:45] -!- Simooon has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[14:08:48] <pcw_home> harm chips, no. harm noise immunity, yes
[14:09:48] <pcw_home> always make noise immunity worse because the open state will be somewhere in the middle
[14:09:48] <Tom_itx> i could put a schmitt trigger inverter on that output i suppose
[14:09:52] -!- morfic- [morfic-!~morfic@unaffiliated/morfic] has joined #linuxcnc
[14:09:58] <Jymmm> pcw_home: EMI is your friend =)
[14:10:27] <pcw_home> I would just eliminate the pulldowns
[14:10:45] -!- toudi_ [toudi_!~toudi@apn-95-41-225-100.dynamic.gprs.plus.pl] has joined #linuxcnc
[14:10:52] <Tom_itx> would the 7i37 be a better way to go for this?
[14:10:55] toudi_ is now known as micges
[14:11:29] <Tom_itx> instead of using the 7i43 IO directly
[14:11:49] <pcw_home> Yes but using active low switches will also work
[14:12:14] <pcw_home> so no dueling pullups/downs
[14:12:15] <Tom_itx> then i'm back to the spindle problem
[14:12:42] <pcw_home> spindle problem?
[14:13:13] <Tom_itx> i tried the active low approach in the beginning but on startup the spindle would run
[14:13:32] <pcw_home> how is the spindle controlled?
[14:13:39] <Tom_itx> ssr
[14:14:10] <pcw_home> so connect SSR+ to 5V and SSR l to 7I43 output
[14:14:22] <Tom_itx> maybe i could move it to one of the io on the 7i47 board
[14:14:56] <Tom_itx> i'll dig into it today and see where it goes. i do agree about the pullups fighting each other though
[14:15:09] <Tom_itx> are you going to the fest?
[14:15:15] <pcw_home> thats how the 7I43 outputs are intended to be used (for OPTO22 racks for example that have a common 5V))
[14:15:25] <pcw_home> Yes
[14:15:37] <Tom_itx> any way you could bring a 7i37ta along?
[14:15:56] <Tom_itx> i plan to show up on friday
[14:15:59] <pcw_home> yeah or a 7I84 maybe
[14:16:10] <Tom_itx> what is it?
[14:16:49] <pcw_home> 16 output 32 input sserial card (12/24V)
[14:17:03] <Tom_itx> i've never been real fond of driving the fpga pins directly anyway
[14:17:26] <pcw_home> its fine until you connect one to 12V
[14:17:50] <Tom_itx> well hopefully i'm not that stupid but i know accidents can happen
[14:18:40] <pcw_home> I'll bring a set of cards if DHS doesn't object
[14:18:53] <Tom_itx> i'd appreciat it
[14:19:01] <Tom_itx> screw terminal pls
[14:19:44] <Tom_itx> does the 7i43 do sserial?
[14:20:40] <pcw_home> Sure all Xilinx based FPGA cards can
[14:21:40] <pcw_home> we may even be able to teach the Sitara's PRU to do it
[14:22:39] <Tom_itx> i'll work on swapping the logic over the weekend and see where it goes
[14:23:10] <pcw_home> so I will bring a 7I37TA, a 7I84 and a 7I87 (Matt wanted to test something with a 7I87)
[14:23:33] <Tom_itx> what's the 7i84 run?
[14:24:11] <pcw_home> not sure off hand
[14:24:56] <Tom_itx> i'm leaning toward the 7i37ta right now
[14:25:16] <pcw_home> $79
[14:25:18] <Tom_itx> would i need to change the bit file to add it to the 2nd port?
[14:25:19] <Tom_itx> yes
[14:25:37] <Tom_itx> i'm using the 7i47b bit file currently
[14:26:01] <pcw_home> you could add it to the 7I47 port and use the 7I47 as the RS-422 interface
[14:26:45] <pcw_home> (one RX pair and one TX pair)
[14:26:53] <Tom_itx> maybe i lost you just then
[14:27:07] <Tom_itx> add the 7i37 to the 7i47?
[14:27:27] <Tom_itx> or the 7i84 to it
[14:28:05] <pcw_home> I was talking about the 7I84, for 7I37, no bitfile changes are needed
[14:28:21] <pcw_home> (since its just GPIO)
[14:28:43] <Tom_itx> the 7i37 would plug right into the 2nd port on the 7i43 though right?
[14:28:50] <Tom_itx> no bit file changes
[14:28:57] <pcw_home> for 7I84 the second 7I43 port is unused
[14:29:01] <Tom_itx> i guess the 2nd port is mapped for io anyway
[14:29:13] <Tom_itx> yes i follow now
[14:29:28] <pcw_home> yes (all ports can do I/O)
[14:29:29] <Tom_itx> the 7i84 would be wired to an io on the 7i47
[14:29:53] <pcw_home> yes
[14:30:06] <Tom_itx> but that _would_ require a bitfile change?
[14:30:21] <Tom_itx> for the sserial stuff
[14:30:25] <pcw_home> Yes, at least one sserial channel added
[14:30:32] <Tom_itx> mmm
[14:31:10] <pcw_home> also The 7I84 is more suited to 12 or 24V I/O
[14:31:30] <pcw_home> but it can do MPGs

[14:34:00] <Tom_itx> ok, looking ahead to future projects.. the 7i34 won't work on the 5i25 but the 7i84 would

[14:34:51] -!- syyl_ has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[14:35:14] <Tom_itx> so if i were to need to swap boards around future wise the 7i84 would be more suitable
[14:36:56] <pcw_home> Yeah you can only drive 17 of the 7I37s 24 I/O pins with one connector of a 5I25
[14:38:06] <Tom_itx> is sserial suited for pendant io?
[14:38:17] <Tom_itx> i've never used sserial yet

[14:43:31] <atom1> is the input to the 7i85 a standard rj45?
[14:43:39] <atom1> 7i84*
[14:51:43] <atom1> how do you address sserial io in hal?

[14:57:05] <micges> like 5i25.0.7i77.0.1.output-00
[14:57:08] <Tom_itx> so the host card takes care of it?

[14:57:14] <micges> yes
[14:57:22] <Tom_itx> but how do you map it in the hal file?
[14:58:03] <pcw_home> 7I84 host interface is a RJ45
[14:58:09] <Tom_itx> ok
[14:58:38] <pcw_home> so you can use cat5 cables (perhaps cut in 1/2)
[14:58:48] <Tom_itx> yep, my thoughts..
[14:59:17] <Tom_itx> i suppose it's a toss up which card to use then
[14:59:38] <Tom_itx> 7i84 would eliminate the fat ribbon
[15:00:26] <Tom_itx> looks like they're the same price
[15:00:36] <pcw_home> yes and can be a long distance away
[15:01:06] <Tom_itx> i could move all the pendant io to it as well
[15:01:33] * Tom_itx sees rewiring in his future
[15:01:39] <pcw_home> 7I84 has more I/O but lower output current and common V+ for outputs (all outputs are sourcing)
[15:02:02] <Tom_itx> that should be ok afik
[15:02:33] <Tom_itx> separate power connector for onboard power somewhere on it?
[15:02:41] <Tom_itx> ie 5v in
[15:02:49] <pcw_home> 7I37 is more flexible (isolated MOSFET output switches)
[15:03:53] <pcw_home> 7I84 has field power (5V to 32V) and VIN (8V to 32V) normally these are connected together for 12 or 24 VIO systems
[15:04:52] <Tom_itx> regulated down for the IO?
[15:05:03] <Tom_itx> or driven at voltage
[15:05:04] <pcw_home> actually the 7I84 is a bit fancier it has 2 field power inputs so you can have 5V and 24V blocks
[15:05:13] <Tom_itx> oh nice
[15:05:24] <pcw_home> output are driven at field voltage
[15:05:50] <pcw_home> inputs are sensed at ~ 1/2 field voltage
[15:05:58] <Tom_itx> more oriented to a relay board driver
[15:07:01] <pcw_home> yes or solenoids
[15:07:02] <pcw_home> industrial stuff tends to uses 24V I/O
[15:07:07] <Tom_itx> i knwo
[15:09:08] <Tom_itx> what sort of input power does the 7i37 require?
[15:09:24] <pcw_home> 5V from FPGA card
[15:09:36] <Tom_itx> thru the ribbon?
[15:09:53] <pcw_home> Yes, it only needs 20 mA or so
[15:10:54] <Tom_itx> the mosfets have separate power in for the io?
[15:11:30] <Tom_itx> line/load
[15:11:32] <pcw_home> each MOSFET has a transformer/rectifier driving its gate
[15:11:50] <pcw_home> so they are floating switches
[15:13:54] <Tom_itx> i'll be using it for now at least, mostly for input so i think it's still a tossup
[15:14:59] <Tom_itx> does the 7i43 need a reflash to support sserial?
[15:15:13] <pcw_home> there is the 7I37com that has all the MOSFET drains commoned to field power but the standard 7I37/7I37TS has uncommited witches
[15:15:40] <pcw_home> well not witches, just switches
[15:16:10] <pcw_home> no just a new bitfile

[15:20:35] <Tom_itx> the split power blocks on the 7i84 are per connector bank?
[15:20:53] <Tom_itx> (would seem logical)
[15:27:08] <pcw_home> Yes inputs 0..15, and outputs 0..7 are one block
[15:27:17] -!- atom1 has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[15:28:05] <Tom_itx> i was reading about field power and where the 7i84 gets it's logic power from
[15:28:16] <pcw_home> MPG inputs (if MPG is enabled) are 5V (2.5V threshold)
[15:28:28] <Tom_itx> which field power pin is wired to the logic supply smps?
[15:28:38] <Tom_itx> you said you can split field power on it...
[15:28:48] <Tom_itx> 5v in wouldn't likely be enough to power the smps
[15:28:58] <Tom_itx> for the onboard logic
[15:29:34] <pcw_home> No SMPS needs 8 or so so has a separate input pin (but can be tied to one of the field powers via a jumper)
[15:29:41] <Tom_itx> i could run one bank at 5v and the other at 24
[15:30:01] <Tom_itx> so at least one field power should be above 5v
[15:30:30] <pcw_home> Yes so the 24V bank should be the one with a jumper to VIN
[15:31:07] <Tom_itx> just trying to figure it out in my head ahead of time here
[15:31:24] <Tom_itx> make sure i have the v i need

[15:42:12] <Tom_itx> is the serial tranceiver power part of the local logic power or is it also separate?
[15:42:59] <Tom_itx> normally the 7i84 gets it's 5v RS422 tranceiver power from the serial cable....
[15:43:42] <pcw_home> Yes the host side of the transceiver gets its power from the cable

[15:44:53] -!- jfire has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[15:44:54] <pcw_home> normally only about 30 mA (depending on what the Xmit duty cycle is)
[15:48:30] <Tom_itx> so W1 doesn't affect that, the transceiver gets power from the RJ45 in any case

[15:51:01] <Tom_itx> i found it.. the logic supply is tied to field power B with the jumper
[15:51:52] -!- Loetmichel has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
[15:55:55] <Tom_itx> so W1 to the right will allow VIN to be separate and then all the field IO could be at 5v
[15:56:06] <pcw_home> Yes
[15:56:19] -!- ler_hydra has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[15:56:26] <Tom_itx> and i can tie VIN to the same 24v that powers my smps to the 7i43
[15:56:38] <pcw_home> Yes
[15:57:03] <Tom_itx> sounds reasonable
[15:57:34] <Tom_itx> does it matter what io the bitfile is mapped to for the 7i47?
[15:57:41] <Tom_itx> i'll have to free up an io for it i think
[15:58:38] <pcw_home> There may be an existing pinout thats standard, take a look at the 48 I/O PIN files in the mesa source diretory
[15:59:03] <Tom_itx> ok
[15:59:28] <Tom_itx> i'll probably lean toward the 7i84 from what i can see right now
[16:00:22] <Tom_itx> then i won't need to use the 2nd port on the 7i43 at all

[20:15:49] <micges> hi
[20:16:43] <Phil_> I have a couple of questions if thats ok, I've googled all sorts and not really come any closer.
[20:18:06] <micges> just ask
[20:18:44] <micges> we are here for :)
[20:19:40] <Phil_> I am migrating from Mach3, and alot of my files use M10P1, I'm guessing I need to change to M62. Am I coreect?
[20:20:02] <Phil_> (This is for use with a laser)
[20:21:53] <micges> what is m10p1 ?
[20:22:35] <Phil_> I used it for laser on, I think it wasdigital output
[20:23:26] <micges> Tom_itx: yes I dont see it either
[20:24:33] <Phil_> Also, is there a Home All button, I think I'm missing it ;)
[20:24:48] <micges> Phil_: then yes, m62 p1 will enable motion.digital-output-01, m63 p1 will disable it
[20:25:02] <Phil_> Thanks
[20:25:28] <micges> home all is visible only when you have HOME_SEQUENCE = n in every [AXIS_n] section
[20:26:28] <Phil_> I better go read up, non of that means anything to me :) I'm a new linux user too.
[20:26:30] <micges> when you want z to home first then XY you must set this param to 0 on [AXIS_2] section and to 1 in [AXIS_0] and [Axis_1]

[20:31:45] <tommer5k> yeah, i've got the ini configured as shown in the guides you posted
[20:31:55] <Phil_> Mainly the fact that the digital trigger wouldnt fire with the Engrave plugin, I need the laser mainly for engraving.
[20:32:14] <tommer5k> with positive and negative, and the behavior is correct, but i can't get it to stay at a hafl inch off the swich
[20:32:18] <Roguish> running a few steppers.. speed not issue. accuracy is.
[20:32:49] <tommer5k> always either an inch off or right on the swtich
[20:33:02] <tommer5k> i've got it set to -5 to 0 if that makes a difference
[20:33:58] <tommer5k> sorry, it's ona nother computer so i can' copy paste but:
[20:34:00] <micges> Phil_: m62 and m63 are perfect for engraving
[20:35:22] <micges> tommer5k: please pastebin ini file when you can then we can take a look
[20:35:53] <tommer5k> yeah, i can do that
[20:36:12] <Phil_> I'm trying to figure out if I can download the files needed for rastering on my win machine and transfer them via usb. The engraving machine has no net access.
[20:37:50] <Phil_> Oh, I changed the commands to M62/63 and just made my first cut with LinuxCNC :)
[20:38:19] <micges> Roguish: it shouldn't be a problem but I haven't tried that
[20:38:54] <micges> Roguish: in 7i43 zip file there should be tools for accesing 7i43 via usb

[21:33:23] <ms100> I have a simple config that will sometime start and work and sometimes not. After running fine, if I exit Axis it will sometimes (often) give me this:
http://pastebin.com/jC8wHiBC Then, when I go to start it up again it will sometimes (often) give me this:
http://pastebin.com/aEAfDp5b but if I just try to launch it again it usually works just fine.
[21:33:57] <ms100> My ini and hal are here:
http://pastebin.com/wkX7shRF http://pastebin.com/n7x8bFgx
[21:34:19] <ms100> This is a stock 2.5.2 on 10.04 from the LiveCD
[21:34:43] <ms100> It us running on an Atom 2800 motherboard.
[21:36:19] <ms100> Is everyone driving to Wichita?
[21:36:39] <Tom_itx> no
[21:36:45] <Tom_itx> i'm here already
[21:36:48] <ms100> :-)
[21:36:51] <micges> ms100: how did you managed to get video driver working on 2800 ?
[21:37:04] <ms100> Just worked
[21:37:23] <ms100> I don't think I have hardware acceleration though...
[21:38:05] <micges> it's tricky to get this working on that board
[21:38:26] <ms100> well, I shouldn't say that, I don't really know what I have. The machine is fine, but it seems like graphics is a bit slower than it should be....
[21:38:27] <micges> probably it's related to things you're experiencing
[21:39:28] <ms100> The errors say I have a problem in my config file, but I don't see it and it doesn't say what it is....
[21:40:15] <micges> set [EMC]DEBUG = 0x7FFFFFFF
[21:40:27] <ms100> In the ini file?
[21:40:46] <micges> and next time you will experiencing second errror please pastebin terminal output
[21:40:50] <micges> yes ini file
[21:43:27] <ms100> http://pastebin.com/nFMSmqMq
[21:45:40] <micges> and when you second time try to run axis, it just works?
[21:46:01] <ms100> Yep, works and runs fine as far as I can tell....

[21:55:39] <ms100> Weird, now I can't get it to give me the error on exit. I couldn't before the machine crashed just now either....
[21:56:03] <ms100> I do still get it on start up every 2nd or third attempt though...
[21:59:05] <ms100> Nope, can't get it on shutdown now, but do continue to get it on startup:

[22:22:15] <ms100> Yep same darn thing, runs sometimes, crashes sometimes :-(
http://pastebin.com/LSJGvCJX
[22:22:46] <ms100> So, this is a completely different set of identical hardware with the same configuration
[22:26:41] <micges> could you try example config with tklinuxcnc gui?
[22:27:10] <Tom_itx> pcw_home to add the sserial do i add the sserialtag line and replace one of the nulltag lines with it?
[22:27:31] <Tom_itx> at the top of the .vhd file
[22:28:01] <ms100> I just tried a ~linuxcnc/config/sim/axis and it has the same problem. How do I try on with tklinuxcnc?
[22:28:25] <ms100> on==one
[22:29:18] <Tom_itx> then replace a couple of the io lines with the ioporttag lines in the io section?
[22:29:26] <micges> config/sim/tklinuxcnc
[22:29:27] <Tom_itx> i see i think 3 lines each for the sserial io
[22:29:40] <Tom_itx> Rx Tx and En
[22:29:49] <pcw_home> Tom_itx: what i would do is merge a bit of SSSVST2_2_4_7I47 with SVST2_4_7I47
[22:30:13] <Tom_itx> that's kinda what i'm looking at
[22:30:16] <pcw_home> 7I47 has no enables so TXEN is not used
[22:30:30] <Tom_itx> so 2 pins each then
[22:30:36] <Tom_itx> i only need one sserial really
[22:30:46] <Tom_itx> rx tx
[22:30:58] <pcw_home> yes rx1 and tx1 only
[22:31:03] <Tom_itx> does it matter on the differential inputs which is which?
[22:31:23] <Tom_itx> err one is in one is out so it would matter
[22:31:28] <ms100> config/sim/tklinuxcnc also crashed. Output here:
http://pastebin.com/4hrvHf5J
[22:31:59] <pcw_home> which 7I47 channel you use or + and - ?
[22:32:20] <Tom_itx> i haven't decided yet, i was just looking over the files
[22:32:57] <Tom_itx> i'm open for suggestions at this point
[22:33:37] <pcw_home> I think the sssvst2xxx file uses 7I47 RX/TX 0 and 1

[22:34:39] <ms100> I should add, that just like my config, if I try again it launches and runs fine...
[22:35:14] <pcw_home> I do (somewhere) have the notes on which cat5 colors go to which of rx-,rx+,tx-,tx+
[22:35:36] <Tom_itx> i need 4 pins?
[22:35:36] <Tom_itx> tx /tx rx /rx
[22:35:56] <pcw_home> yes
[22:36:07] <Tom_itx> ok i'll see what i can free up
[22:36:16] <Tom_itx> i can put them on any pairs i want right?
[22:36:18] <pcw_home> at the 7I47 terminals (only 2 flat cable signals)
[22:36:36] <pcw_home> Yes an TX pair and any RX pair
[22:36:53] <ms100> perhaps i'll post on the mailing list and see if anyone has seen this
[22:37:18] <Tom_itx> i'm gonna try to remove these pulldowns first and get it working then tackle the switchover to the other board
[22:37:37] <Tom_itx> how do you address the sserial pins in hal?
[22:37:46] <pcw_home> >> A hint for cable making (since the sserial cable connection to the 7I47=
[22:37:47] <pcw_home> >> 7I47 TXN- --> CAT5 ORANGE/WHITE
[22:37:49] <pcw_home> >> 7I47 TXN+ --> CAT5 ORANGE
[22:37:50] <pcw_home> >> 7I47 RXN- --> CAT5 GREEN/WHITE
[22:37:52] <pcw_home> >> 7I47 RXN+ --> CAT5 GREEN
[22:37:53] <pcw_home> >> 7I47 GND --> CAT5 BLUE BLUE/WHITE
[22:37:55] <pcw_home> >> 7I47 +5 --> CAT5 BROWN BROWN/WHITE
[22:38:22] <Tom_itx> is that A or B pinout?
[22:38:40] <Tom_itx> i forget which is which anyway
[22:38:58] <pcw_home> Yeah in actuality you really dont need any m ore hardware :-)
[22:39:11] <Tom_itx> i know
[22:39:58] <Tom_itx> ok if i switch the pulldowns to pullups it won't interfere then right?
[22:40:07] <Tom_itx> i realize i probably don't need them at all...
[22:40:14] <Tom_itx> but they're all nicely soldered in place
[22:40:39] <Tom_itx> then switch all the logic around in hal
[22:40:50] <pcw_home> I suspect changing to pullups will solve your problem
[22:41:25] <Tom_itx> then use active gnd switches
[22:41:31] <Tom_itx> active low
[22:41:34] <pcw_home> and if that doesnt work, add capacitors, and it that doesn't work add debounce
[22:42:48] -!- gromits1 has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[22:44:28] <pcw_home> sserial HAL pins are somewhat magic as the pin names are in the remote device, but typically would be something like:
[22:44:29] <pcw_home> hm2_7i43.0.7i84.0.0.input.00
[22:45:34] <Tom_itx> but if you twiddle with them in the file you need to know where to reach em
[22:46:26] <pcw_home> twiddle?
[22:46:37] <Tom_itx> well assign them to nets
[22:47:41] <pcw_home> net kimchee hm2_7i43.0.7i84.0.0.input.00 => motion.blort
[22:48:04] <Tom_itx> what's the .0.0. for?
[22:48:12] <Tom_itx> i get the rest of it
[22:48:31] <Tom_itx> .0 would be the first 7i84 board
[22:48:37] <Tom_itx> i think
[22:48:44] <Tom_itx> but what's the 2nd .0 for?
[22:48:53] <pcw_home> first 0 is first sserial, second 0 is sserisl channel (0 through 7)
[22:49:05] <Tom_itx> ok
[22:49:17] <micges> ms100: please pastebin your ini and hal
[22:49:20] <Tom_itx> so each sserial can have 8 channels
[22:49:42] <pcw_home> Yes and there can be 4 instances of sserial
[22:50:24] <pcw_home> theres an alternate naming scheme available in master
[22:51:27] <andypugh> Yes, you get pins like hm2_7i84.0123.input.00 (where 0123 is the last few digits of the serial number of the sticker on the board)
[22:52:42] <pcw_home> the alternate scheme has the advantage of not causing major screwups if you swap channels around
[22:52:45] <Tom_itx> oh with the new naming convention?
[22:53:16] <Tom_itx> who could possibly do such a thing :)
[22:53:46] <pcw_home> first scheme is like geographic addressing, secon is more like a cell number
[22:54:04] <pcw_home> cell phone number
[22:55:42] <Tom_itx> ok now to see if i can make all this reverse logic work again
