[00:58:55] <pcw_home> No I just build via the GUI
[00:59:09] <atom1> how do you launch that?

[01:54:45] <atom1> ok i think i got the build file to work
[01:55:13] <atom1> seems to be taking alot longer as i recall with 9.2
[01:59:32] <pcw_home> Are you using the source from mesa?
[01:59:50] <atom1> yes
[02:00:03] <atom1> it finished but i ended up with a .PIN file not a .BIT file
[02:00:16] <atom1> and an .xml and .vhd
[02:00:43] <atom1> i did 2 at once, the normal 7i47 one and mine
[02:00:47] <atom1> they both compiled
[02:01:05] <atom1> and ended up in the fw/7i43-4 directory
[02:01:16] <atom1> that seemed normal
[02:02:35] <atom1> stopped with an ERROR 2 on the compile apparently
[02:02:53] <pcw_home> did you change the package name, if not you will probably overwrite the bit file with the last one made
[02:03:00] <atom1> yes
[02:03:14] <atom1> the name in the file matches the filename
[02:03:28] <atom1> i'll repost what i have
[02:03:36] <pcw_home> yeah if you dont have a bit file, there was a compile error
[02:03:56] <atom1> i might revert to 9.2 because i know it worked
[02:04:02] <atom1> or will that not be new enough?
[02:04:14] <pcw_home> it will fail on the new source
[02:04:39] <atom1> you wanna try to compile the vhd?
[02:05:06] <pcw_home> like any compile you need to grok the error messages
[02:09:30] <pcw_home> If run from a script you probably need to find where the error messages are logged
[02:09:55] <Tom_itx> yeah

[02:13:30] <atom1> that's the original file and the xml and pin it generated
[02:14:22] <atom1> i'm sure it's an issue with the script
[02:14:41] <atom1> since i copied it over from 9.2 and modded it
[02:16:34] <atom1> i copied the .sh and firmware.txt files over as well

[12:13:23] <archivist_herron> I wouldnt dream of buying some closed source expensive stuff, your abilities once linuxcnc is learned are limited by the contents of your brain
[12:13:43] <jthornton> aye
[12:15:30] <R2E4> I know Linux ok. not a pro by any means, I used to use Slackware back in the day. Pre kernel 1.
[12:16:08] <R2E4> I have a few concerns though. It seems complicated re: HAL, and PLC programming.
[12:16:43] <jthornton> HAL only has a couple of commands...
[12:16:44] <R2E4> The same applies I have noticed now compared to back then, is the documentation.

[12:19:03] <jthornton> I don't understand your statement about the documentation...
[12:20:49] <R2E4> I may be wrong, but what I meant was lack of docs, and/or the complexity of the docs and the beginners not being able to grasp an understanind though the docs.
[12:21:27] <jdh> there are lots of docs. Finding out which doc you need before you understand is sometimes difficult. Same for any complex system though.
[12:21:35] <R2E4> accuracy is in the machine...... not sure but the controller has alot to do with it........ no?

[12:25:44] <jdh> what is your other choice?
[12:26:14] <R2E4> The 5 billion dollar retrofits..... ajax, camsoft....
[12:26:54] <R2E4> I have mesa boards allready... I'm just searching for the nerves I must have lost somewhere.....
[12:27:23] <jthornton> what kind of machine is it?
[12:28:15] <R2E4> The bottom line is, the existing control wont work without purchasing control boards which are vey expensive.....in the 2-3 thousand dollars worth. the new controls will cost 3-4000 worth.
[12:29:03] <R2E4> Jthorton; it is a three axis VMC with a 20 position tool changer. and i think the spindle is servo's also.
[12:29:24] <R2E4> Hitachi Seikli VM40 with Sanyo Denki drives and servos.
[12:29:49] <jthornton> do the drives take +-10v?
[12:29:56] <R2E4> yes
[12:30:50] <jthornton> do you have encoder feedback from the servos?
[12:30:59] <R2E4> yes
[12:31:16] <jthornton> that is the easiest conversion to do
[12:31:38] <jthornton> I converted my Anilam BP and Hardinge CHNC
[12:32:00] <R2E4> http://www.wotol.com/1-hitachi-seiki-vm-40-3-axis-vertical-machining-ce/second-hand-machinery/prod_id/554769
[12:32:09] <R2E4> that one is the exact same machine'
[12:33:02] <jthornton> nice machine
[12:33:26] <R2E4> hehe.... yeah, it looks really nice.
[12:34:53] <R2E4> It has like 8 differnet motors not counting the axis servos, coolant, mist, conveyor..... hydraulic ...
[12:39:13] <jthornton> the usual procedure is to hook up and test one at a time...

[12:46:16] <IchGuckLive> hi all B)
[12:47:17] <IchGuckLive> i got a problem i got 25 identical education mashines and also the PC is the same on some mashines the same g-code takes 5min to load and on some it is strait on the screen
[12:47:56] <IchGuckLive> runnung on 2.6.pre 4490
[12:48:47] <IchGuckLive> i need to say that some are set up from the 2.5.0 and some may got the livecd bevor that 2.4.x
[12:49:45] <IchGuckLive> but i dont know how is how as th üplaces change all the time but 4-6 got this hint ad 15 mashines are the older ones
[12:49:56] <IchGuckLive> someone got a idee
[12:51:54] <Andy1978> IchGuckLive: Ich nicht verstehen tu was du sagen willst ;-)
[12:52:20] <jdh> find the common version/config/etc on the slow ones.
[12:53:12] <IchGuckLive> jdh: is this a file
[12:53:14] <RyanS> is swinging a 6kg chuck too much to ask from a 750 watt lathe?
[12:54:09] <archivist_herron> depends
[12:54:20] <jthornton> on the gear ratio
[12:54:53] <archivist_herron> and speed you want and the cutting you want to do
[12:56:18] <archivist_herron> and the viscosity of the oil in the bearings if plain

[13:20:39] <dosas> hi i'm having trouble with my .hal file
[13:20:49] <dosas> i'm trying to set it up according to this
http://www.anderswallin.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/temp_control_pid_new.jpg
[13:20:56] <dosas> in the top line
[13:21:14] <dosas> everything is fine until pyvcp.temp-freq
[13:21:21] <dosas> it also shows in axis
[13:21:41] <dosas> but the temperature display does not work it is always zero
[13:21:56] <dosas> net temp_freq frequency2temperature.0.frequency-in
[13:22:02] <dosas> net temp_degrees frequency2temperature.0.temperature-out
[13:22:07] <dosas> net temp_degrees pyvcp.temp-degrees
[13:22:10] <cpresser> dosas: use hal-scope and see if you can see the input-pwm
[13:22:19] <dosas> i/m not using pwm
[13:22:26] <dosas> i'm just setting up the temp readin
[13:22:28] <dosas> the top line
[13:22:37] <dosas> i see the frequency
[13:22:41] <dosas> and it is fine
[13:22:46] <dosas> but i do not see temperature
[13:23:02] <dosas> but i'm unsure with the net commands i used
[13:24:06] <dosas> are they right?
[13:25:11] <cpresser> dont know :)
[13:25:23] <cpresser> but all those nets only have one pin, that looks odd
[13:26:00] <cpresser> each net should have one net-name and at least two pins connected to it (1 input, 1..n outputs)
[13:27:51] <dosas> okay thanks
[13:30:54] <dosas> the documentation says
[13:30:57] <dosas> singal pin
[13:31:07] <dosas> and the signals can be seen as wires
[13:35:20] <dosas> there is a function or parameter temperature_out
[13:35:27] <dosas> do i have to setp it

[14:31:11] <JT-Shop> Mesa has hundereds of boards
[14:32:03] gimpspace is now known as gimpswork
[14:33:38] <R2E4> 5i20 and 7i...hmmmm something.... let me look what I bought. 6 months ago....
[14:35:47] <R2E4> The pair that is used for servo's. Have to check tonight when I get top the shop
[14:36:55] <R2E4> I think its the 7i77
[14:37:33] <pcw_home> I sure the 5I20 and 7I33/7I37 are supported, pncconf may have some limitations with
[14:37:34] <pcw_home> 7I48 which require hand HAL editing (but you pretty much always need to do this to some extent anyway)
[14:38:36] <pcw_home> The 7I76/7I77 are supported by the latest pncconf (which may be included with linuxcnc 2.5.2, not sure)
[14:38:48] <R2E4> I had linuxcnc and your boards installed but pncconf did not have it at the time, 6 months ago. I think you sent me a start file to use
[14:39:48] <pcw_home> in addition to pncconf you need install the xml files for the 7I77 to use pncconf with it
[14:39:56] <R2E4> I will see..... psw: I got my R2E4 running with existing controller so no need to upgrade. I have since obtained a hitachi seiki vmc 3 axis 20 tool changer servo spindled machine that the controller is not working.
[14:42:19] <JT-Shop> R2E4: there is an install script for the xml files on the forum in the pncconf section if you have the 5i25/7i77

[15:08:30] <Jymmm> pcw_home: Isn't all the RT stuff offloaded to the card?
[15:09:40] <zultron> base thread is offloaded, but still need the servo thread, which is RT even though it doesn't have as strict RT requirements.
[15:09:58] <zultron> drive-by comment. ;)
[15:10:06] <Jymmm> =)
[15:10:16] <Jymmm> http://diy.powet.eu/2012/07/25/raspberry-pi-xenomai/
[15:10:50] <Jymmm> http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?RaspbianXenomaiBuild
[15:13:19] <zultron> Xenomai's ARM port is a quickly moving target right now. You should check the status of Xenomai 3.8.x kernels on RPi.
[15:13:52] <Jymmm> With no reflection upon Mesa, sometimes I think that all the HW related things in lcnc are overrated. You see ppl tossing lcnc on pi's and other things, not dealing with latency, video cards, etc.
[15:14:46] <Jymmm> I know it's not perfect and all, and lots of issues, but their Nike approach seems to work for them.
[15:16:58] <Jymmm> Embed lcnc into some HW device (Monster FPGA) and have everything else just be a dumb console for UI.
[15:18:48] <Jymmm> Make/sell it like an open hardware project (arduino style). Make a couple of bucjs to support future development, etc

[15:39:06] <Jymmm> 2 packet mode?
[15:39:37] <Jymmm> pcw_home: and why packets instead of frames?
[15:40:07] <Jymmm> TCP/IP is bloat
[15:41:07] <pcw_home> current (3 packet) mode is host sends read data request, 7I80 sends read data, host sends write date
[15:41:08] <pcw_home> 2 packet mode is host receives read data, how sends write date (and delayed read data request in write packet)
[15:41:22] <pcw_home> s/how/host/
[15:41:44] <Jymmm> so, half-duplex comms?
[15:42:04] <pcw_home> Yes
[15:42:29] -!- Bojangles has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
[15:42:51] <Jymmm> Hmmm, seems like a waste. Too much overhead for full duplex?
[15:43:10] <pcw_home> this is inherent in the way the a real time control loop runs (cant send data until read data is processed
[15:43:21] <Jymmm> ah
[15:43:46] <pcw_home> since you dont know what to send
[15:44:24] <pcw_home> 7I80 just uses UDP
[15:44:37] <Jymmm> pcw_home: icmp too?
[15:44:57] <pcw_home> yes icmp echo only
[15:45:02] <Jymmm> ah
[15:45:06] <pcw_home> and arp

[15:49:31] <Jymmm> FinboySlick: beyond
[15:49:52] <FinboySlick> Then I'm curious.

[15:52:56] <dosas> of course my-pin in .xml
[15:53:28] <FinboySlick> jdh: I guess in industrial applications it's not that bad, especially for someone used to do rs485 and what not.
[15:53:48] <JT-Shop> you must put any pyvcp nets in the postgui file
[15:53:54] <jdh> it's not like you woudl be using random devices on a normal LAN
[15:54:22] <FinboySlick> jdh: Sort of sucks to have to reconfigure both sides when something gets replaced though.
[15:54:39] <Jymmm> FinboySlick: Being at a lower (OSI) level, less overhead = better performance. can be one-to-many or one-to-one, abuse the protocol to Tx/Rx commands/status
[15:54:41] <JT-Shop> dosas: understand?
[15:55:22] <FinboySlick> Jymmm: Well, yes. But would that have anything to do with ARP? I think what you're talking about is just using ethernet transport.

[17:19:24] <CaptHindsight> looks like you guys have sold out the Wichita Inn, Hampton and the La Quinta :)
[17:19:33] <Tom_itx> confort inns are right behind the wallmart just off dugan rd which is by the airport
[17:19:52] <Tom_itx> it's not far even if you find one downtown
[17:20:06] <Tom_itx> i wouldn't go to the east side though
[17:20:12] <Tom_itx> midtown there's a hilton
[17:20:34] <CaptHindsight> there ~10 on Kellog available
[17:20:37] <Tom_itx> and another holiday inn express i think (it's changed hands about 4 time)
[17:20:47] <Tom_itx> yes quite a few by the airport
[17:21:06] <Tom_itx> the Hapmpton was just the closest to the fest
[17:21:36] <Tom_itx> there's a whole slew of them between the airport and West street

[17:26:29] <CaptHindsight> is it an easy walk from around 54/400 and 235 or should I rent a car?
[17:26:48] <Tom_itx> no place to walk there really
[17:26:55] <Tom_itx> i suppose you could
[17:27:06] <CaptHindsight> just grass, curb and road
[17:27:16] <Tom_itx> you can't really cross over at 235 & 400
[17:27:32] <Tom_itx> there's a floodway ditch to cross between the hotels there
[17:27:43] <CaptHindsight> 47 hour car rental is only $40
[17:28:01] <dosas> i/m trying to set up a pid loop
[17:28:08] <Tom_itx> 54/400 gets kinda crazy at times
[17:28:11] <dosas> net temp_setpoint pid.0.command
[17:28:25] <dosas> which should read it's setpoint from pyvcp panel via
[17:28:30] <dosas> net temp_setpoint pyvcp.temp-setpoint
[17:28:51] <dosas> does this look correct
[17:29:15] <dosas> because i always get the same error on start saying that temp-setpoint is not there
[17:29:19] <dosas> but it definetly is
[17:29:25] <IchGuckLive> doe in the postgui file ?
[17:29:25] <dosas> so could this be another error
[17:29:33] <dosas> yes
[17:29:35] <dosas> i do
[17:30:08] <dosas> it recognises all the the other pins
[17:30:12] <dosas> but not this one
[17:30:18] <IchGuckLive> is it a reprap for the plastik forward move
[17:30:33] <dosas> so i thought maybe the traceback is wrong

[17:30:42] <dosas> yeah the heater circuit
[17:30:59] <dosas> so pid.o.command is a float
[17:31:10] <dosas> does it need a -in flag
[17:31:20] <dosas> because all the other poins just display values

[17:33:32] <dosas> yes i have seen this apge

[17:34:27] <Tom_itx> there was a large Hudson meet here over the weekend at one of the hotels, that was kinda neat
[17:34:42] <IchGuckLive> doas this last link got the pid
[17:34:43] <Tom_itx> whole parking lot full of Hudsons
[17:34:59] <dosas> thank you iw ill read it
[17:35:54] <IchGuckLive> dosas: there is a halcomponent for this that does the job for you
[17:36:13] <IchGuckLive> just feed it with the right values from the pyvcp
[17:37:18] <dosas> i'm using the pid comp
[17:37:26] <Tom_itx> pcw_home, i found the hm2 files but was unable to compile the .vhd file
[17:37:39] <Tom_itx> i think there's some sort of licensing issue
[17:37:53] <Tom_itx> i'm not sure i got the right one or have it enabled properly
[17:38:07] <Tom_itx> that could also be the same "ERROR 2" i was getting on the cmd line
[17:38:14] <dosas> the thing is that linuxcnc constantly tells me 'pyvcp.temp-setpoint' does not exist
[17:39:04] <skunkworks> then that pin doesn't exist. remark it out in the hal file and then look to see what pins are acctually there.
[17:39:18] <Tecan> cool you guys are working on repstrap too

[17:41:15] <Tom_itx> i'll check the licensing later today
[17:41:19] <dosas> this error is driving me crazy if i comment out one line net temp_setpoint pyvcp.temp-setpoint
[17:41:37] <dosas> then it starts up just fine and shows the slider temp-setpoint
[17:41:43] <dosas> but with the line crash
[17:41:47] <pcw_home> licensing probably means something wrong with the Xilinx tools install
[17:42:12] <Tom_itx> i may not have attached it to the pc, ie a hdd serial no, mac address etc
[17:42:17] <jthornton> dosas, when you run your config do you see the pin in show hal configuration window?
[17:42:25] <IchGuckLive> dosas: is the pyvcp panel there and has the halpin

[18:34:28] <Aero-Tec> not sure how many times I wanted it to run so just made it repeat over and over
[18:35:26] <CaptHindsight> seems the BBB is using kernel 3.18 putting stable ARM Real Time support for Linuxcnc ahead of x86
[18:35:32] <Aero-Tec> if one wanted to run the same code forever how would one do that?
[18:36:28] <Aero-Tec> can a sub cal a sub forever?

[19:23:59] <Aero-Tec> so what way was the right way?
[19:24:18] <Aero-Tec> I am cutting a encoder wheel
[19:24:19] <jdh> use the right finish depth
[19:24:40] <jdh> but, sometimes I just edit the code and make it deeper and add a suffix
[19:24:41] <Aero-Tec> and not sure how deep I can make the cuts
[19:25:27] <Aero-Tec> the disk is being held in a not so solid way
[19:25:45] <Aero-Tec> so I need to be careful with my cuts
[19:25:55] <Jymmm> Aero-Tec: You're not familiar with pseudo code?
[19:26:27] <Aero-Tec> not sure what it means
[19:26:38] <Aero-Tec> like your code goes here
[19:26:42] <Aero-Tec> {}
[19:27:01] <Aero-Tec> not real code but talking to the programmer
[19:27:09] <Jymmm> Aero-Tec: It's just generic logic, not any specific programming langage.
[19:27:22] <Aero-Tec> ok
[19:27:29] <Aero-Tec> close to what I thought
[19:28:22] <Jymmm> Aero-Tec: Like if I was tying to explain "nested ternary" operator (no matter the actual language used, be it c++ python etc), I uses this as an example:
[19:28:30] <Aero-Tec> while (true) {}
[19:28:32] <Jymmm> $gender = $penis ? ($vagina ? 'Hermaphrodite' : 'Male') : 'Female';
[19:28:44] <Aero-Tec> was wondering about the true in brackets
[19:28:59] <Aero-Tec> did not think it would work in Gcode
[19:29:20] <Aero-Tec> had me looking at it wondering about it
[19:29:26] <Jymmm> the (true) is just the conditional you would use.
[19:29:44] <Aero-Tec> I got that
[19:29:52] <Aero-Tec> had to look at it for a bit
[19:29:56] <Jymmm> =)
[19:30:01] <Aero-Tec> new to EMC
[19:30:19] <Aero-Tec> not sure what is possible in Gcode with it
[19:30:26] <Aero-Tec> came from Mach
[19:30:41] <Aero-Tec> it was very limited on what one can do
[19:31:08] <Jymmm> there are others here that are far better at programing gcode than I could ever answer, I was just trying to explain the logic is all.
[19:31:25] <Aero-Tec> thanks for the help
[19:31:48] <Aero-Tec> I did do a while[0eq0] loop
[19:32:08] <Aero-Tec> made for a infinite loop
[19:32:32] <Aero-Tec> but would like a way to exit it and move to the next loop
[19:32:36] <Jymmm> so is while(1)
[19:32:48] <Aero-Tec> cool
[19:33:10] <Aero-Tec> tried while [] but that did not work
[19:33:31] <Aero-Tec> while(1)?
[19:34:00] <Aero-Tec> while[1]?
[19:34:16] <Aero-Tec> would that be the right Gcode?
[19:34:45] <Aero-Tec> reg brackets are comments
[19:35:05] <Aero-Tec> I started with just while
[19:36:20] <Aero-Tec> that errored as well
[19:37:09] <Aero-Tec> so would while [1] work for a infinite loop?

[19:40:26] <jdh> anything that evaluates true
[19:42:49] <Aero-Tec> would [1] be true?
[19:43:20] <Aero-Tec> I got the jest of the (1) code
[19:43:25] <Jymmm> Aero-Tec: In most languages 0 (zero) evaluates to FALSE, and everything else evaluates to TRUE.
[19:43:45] <Aero-Tec> cool

[19:44:22] <Aero-Tec> I knew about 0 being false but thought 1 was true
[19:44:39] <Aero-Tec> did not know anything other then 0 was true
[19:44:49] <Aero-Tec> in most cases
[19:45:36] <Aero-Tec> have dome some basic and assembler code
[19:45:36] <Jymmm> Aero-Tec: There are a few exceptions, like NULL and type casting.
[19:47:23] <Aero-Tec> so while [1] would be a error I would just
[19:47:42] <Aero-Tec> guess
[19:47:45] <Aero-Tec> sorry
[19:47:53] -!- psha has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[19:47:56] <Jymmm> Aero-Tec: while[1] would be an infinant loop.
[19:48:05] <Aero-Tec> have no idea how just got in there
[19:48:43] <Aero-Tec> cool
[19:49:35] <Aero-Tec> off to cut some air
[19:49:44] <Aero-Tec> made 2 endless loops
[19:50:11] <Aero-Tec> one for the encoder slots and one for the index slot
[19:51:11] <Aero-Tec> I should do a test to see it esc will exit a loop or the gcode
[19:51:51] <jdh> it will stop the gcode and turn off the spindle (if you have spindle control)

[20:00:53] <Aero-Tec> for some things
[20:01:12] <Aero-Tec> reprap has it's uses
[20:01:37] <Aero-Tec> get a very quick prototype for some testing
[20:01:56] <Aero-Tec> one off things where finish is not important
[20:02:34] <Aero-Tec> reprap has some cool things going for it
[20:02:55] <Aero-Tec> nothing fits all thing or needs
[20:03:11] <Aero-Tec> every tool has it's use
[20:04:42] <jdh> maybe
[20:04:48] <jdh> what about slip-joint pliers?
[20:05:06] <jdh> "I need a tool to kind of hold this, not very securely, and mar the hell out of it"
[20:06:27] <Aero-Tec> lol
[20:06:39] <Aero-Tec> see there is a tool just for that app
[20:06:40] <Aero-Tec> lol
[20:07:19] <Aero-Tec> ok best way to send message to user in EMC
[20:07:45] <jdh> "I need a tool to fit this hex nut, but I don't want it to fit very well, and I want it to be able to slip and either round off the nut, or bust the hell out of my knuckles"
[20:08:11] <jdh> (adjustable/crescent wrench)
[20:08:13] <Aero-Tec> would like a window, not the little error message thing in the corner if possible
[20:08:18] -!- sumpfralle [sumpfralle!~lars@c.mail.systemausfall.org] has joined #linuxcnc
[20:09:33] <Aero-Tec> slip-joint pliers will also work for that, even better at pinching you and rounding corners
[20:10:05] <Aero-Tec> and marking the hell out of the nut as well
[20:10:05] <Loetmichel> hrhr
[20:10:32] <Aero-Tec> so use message from Gcode
[20:10:35] <jdh> you might be able to do an M100 kind of script, have it pop up a tcl/tk window and then set a hal value based on input
[20:10:43] <Aero-Tec> best way to do it
[20:10:56] <Aero-Tec> cool
[20:11:08] <Loetmichel> my last "tube wrenches" i made for hex nuts (m3) i simply got a piece of brass tube, a self-clamping stainless nut and a vice...
[20:11:12] <Aero-Tec> now that sound like something I could use
[20:11:48] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=11795 <- perfect
[20:12:34] <Loetmichel> and if it slips: just shorten it and press the nut in again
[20:12:35] <Aero-Tec> looks good, but I was talking the M100 idea
[20:12:54] <Loetmichel> the brass is weaker than the steel nuts
[20:13:00] <Aero-Tec> that works for small things
[20:13:09] <Loetmichel> richt
[20:13:12] <Loetmichel> right
[20:13:48] <Loetmichel> larger things: not enough pressure to use a nut as a die ;-)
[20:14:36] <jdh> does it really have to be keyboard entry?

[20:25:53] <Aero-Tec> BTW I have found good uses for slip-joint pliers as well
[20:26:11] <Aero-Tec> they do not suck at every thing
[20:26:43] <Aero-Tec> have used them for a mini press
[20:26:51] <Aero-Tec> worked very well
[20:27:03] <jdh> sure, you can use them to try to grip the hex nut you rounded off with the crescent wrench
[20:27:19] <Aero-Tec> lol
[20:27:25] <jdh> that's right before you whip out the vice-grips
[20:27:35] <Aero-Tec> there are much better tools for that
[20:27:45] <Aero-Tec> so use message
[20:27:59] <Aero-Tec> Gcode debugging and such
[20:28:14] <Aero-Tec> I have done it before, not sure how
[20:28:34] <Aero-Tec> but just small message in lower corner
[20:28:59] <Aero-Tec> not a big message box
[20:29:15] <Aero-Tec> one you have to deal with to continue
