[00:25:04] <Tom_itx> PCW, does the lowpass filter behave the same using hostmot2 drivers? it looks like the example jt posted is using default encoder functions
[00:25:24] <PCW> sure
[00:25:38] <PCW> but servo thread only of course
[00:25:42] <Tom_itx> right
[00:26:38] <Tom_itx> also, you said i can use the unused index pin on an otherwise used encoder input using AB ?
[00:26:44] <Tom_itx> for GPIO
[00:26:57] <PCW> for input
[00:27:01] <Tom_itx> yes
[00:27:50] <Tom_itx> i want to toggle the manual tool change signal using the pendant instead of clicking the box in axis

[01:21:00] <Tom_itx> i've got a question about these examples:
http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/examples/mpg.html
[01:21:29] <Tom_itx> why would the one with the lowpass element not use 'axis.x.jog-enable' inputs to select the active axis?
[01:23:54] <Tom_itx> or was that an oversight in the example code?
[01:27:47] <Tom_itx> the 2nd example also uses mux4 but there is no mux4.0.out signal shown
[01:28:23] -!- Servos4ever has quit [Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.90 [SeaMonkey 2.14.1/20121129191050]]

[01:30:41] -!- danielfalck [danielfalck!~danielfal@static-50-53-220-68.bvtn.or.frontiernet.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[01:31:56] <Tom_itx> the first example sends the mux4.0.out to the axis.x.jog-scale while the second example uses the MPG counts and feeds that to the lowpass filter then to the axis.x.jog-scale leaving the mux4.0.out unused

[03:08:50] <Valen> oh god unity?
[03:09:08] <Valen> thats a nice latency test though
[03:09:39] <Valen> I think I'll be installing something like kde ;->

[03:11:17] <skunkworks> idle=poll seems to help quite a bit
[03:12:25] <Valen> tis good news anyway, 10.04 is probably going to start having hardware support issues pretty soon
[03:13:59] <skunkworks> pcw_home: The 'successful' testing I have done is on 10.04. but as you remember the config doesn't seem to be sent correctly to the 7i80. so a few things need to be looked at. :)
[03:14:40] <skunkworks> Plus if I understand it - the time has to be reduced (read write stuff)
[03:15:13] <pcw_home> Yes there are still random reads/writes that need to be consolidated
[03:15:24] <skunkworks> a bit of organizing :)
[03:23:06] <eric_unterhausen> I got used to Unity, I have been assimilated

[03:44:02] <eric_unterhausen> yeah, I prefer being able to just click on the exact window I want
[03:44:16] <eric_unterhausen> icon for the window on the toolbar that is
[03:44:26] <skunkworks-> I have gotten used to unity also....
[03:44:37] <eric_unterhausen> this thing where it brings up a matrix of thumbnails is a bit annoying
[03:49:33] <eric_unterhausen> it makes sense that if you click on the toolbar icon representing your app that it goes to the last window used
[03:49:58] <eric_unterhausen> _unless_ you are already in that app, in which case you obviously want the array of thumbs
[03:50:18] <eric_unterhausen> and sometimes the array of thumbs doesn't come up until you click 4 times for some reason
[03:54:33] <eric_unterhausen> skunkworks, where did that latency app come from?

[05:09:19] <Valen> would be nice if ssh was part of the default install in a way.
[05:09:35] <eric_unterhausen> I think so
[05:09:41] <Valen> though for ubuntu server I *really* think it should ship with bridging and vlan support
[05:10:04] <eric_unterhausen> for one thing, every time I set up a new comp I have to go back to the basement because I forgot to install it
[05:10:09] <Valen> rofl
[05:10:12] <Valen> tasksel ftw
[05:17:22] <eric_unterhausen> i will hunt down the person that decided that vi should be vi and smack them

[08:20:22] <RyanS> And the only way to tell is actually to go there with measuring tools or just give the table a jiggle ?

[08:21:01] <archivist> yes a dose of looking and kicking tyres
[08:22:32] <RyanS> I wonder if one could just drop in a replacement single phase motor
[08:22:48] <archivist> even a worn one will probably be better than brand new chines crap
[08:24:10] <RyanS> It would probably cost $1000 to have it professionally transported
[08:25:50] <archivist> find a friend/amateur with a good trailer to transport
[08:26:29] <archivist> done replace the motor, just get a vfd
[08:26:33] <archivist> dont
[08:28:15] <RyanS> I don't know enough bogans (Australian rednecks) with heavy lifting equipment
[08:28:27] <archivist> cheaper vfd will require you change the motor internally, more expensive will will invert to the full voltage
[08:30:32] <RyanS> lol somebody purchased an old forklift to move one.....
[08:31:00] <RyanS> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2200W-3Hp-240V-10A-Single-Three-Phase-Variable-Frequency-Drive-Inverter-VFD-/350825046231?pt=AU_HardwareParts&hash=item51aecd60d7
[08:33:16] <RyanS> Besides I think it's too big to stick in the garage
[08:33:17] <archivist> that is 240 out which means you internally rewire the motor from star to delta
[08:34:25] <archivist> some are easy as they have links in the connection box
[08:35:26] <RyanS> but don't you lose torque if you have to run it in high gear, use the vfd?
[08:36:21] <archivist> use gears as normal
[08:37:18] <RyanS> oh you just don't vary the speed of the VFD
[08:37:29] <archivist> the vfd has two advantages, three phase out and variable speed, use wisely
[08:38:34] <archivist> motors do not like prolonged slow running at high torque as the self cooling fan is not fast enough then
[08:39:05] <RyanS> lol 2 meters tall... Perhaps not

[08:51:24] <archivist> beer could be dangerous with heavy bits but at least they wone feel much
[08:51:35] <Valen> beer comes *after* moving
[08:51:48] <Valen> to be fair our "mill" came with one of those
[08:53:42] <RyanS> I should go there and remind her how much of a bastard he was and offer $800 to emphasise the fact that the cheaper it goes, the greater the insult to him
[08:56:04] <RyanS> I have lots of spirits, and I've almost finished a still.. I can give them moonshine (I'm reluctant to test the product myself)
[08:58:32] <RyanS> It's a bit of a rustbucket tho

[11:48:35] <jthornton> you are having too much fun
[11:52:04] <skunkworks> I try
[11:52:42] <skunkworks> :)
[11:55:12] <jthornton> I wish I could understand what you guys are doing with the real time stuff :(
[11:55:39] <skunkworks> so do I... :) I just follow directions \
[11:57:23] <Tom_itx> jthornton, are you responsible for the documentation for linuxcnc?
[11:58:18] <jthornton> no, but I work on it a lot
[11:58:38] <Tom_itx> that example for the lowpass seems incomplete
[11:59:22] <jthornton> which example
[11:59:39] <Tom_itx> http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/examples/mpg.html
[11:59:50] <Tom_itx> the first example sends the mux4.0.out to the axis.x.jog-scale while the second example uses the MPG counts and feeds that to the lowpass filter then to the axis.x.jog-scale leaving the mux4.0.out unused
[12:00:31] <Tom_itx> why would the one with the lowpass element not use 'axis.x.jog-enable' inputs to select the active axis?
[12:01:11] <Tom_itx> i didn't get a chance to test it last night but was reading it over and something just looked fishy

[12:37:53] <RyanS> 35 minutes from me a Bridgeport for sale..... How much do you reckon professionals charge to move it
[12:40:48] <skunkworks> no clue - call around. also check towing services. sometimes they will move equipment
[12:40:55] <cpresser> RyanS: call/email a company which moves such things and ask
[12:42:22] <RyanS> It is supposedly a divorce sale, lol
[12:43:10] <PetefromTn> I'll second the towing service idea. I moved my VMC across town to my shop on the back of a rollback wrecker. Cost just over a hundred bucks. Call your local Rollback companies and ask them if they move equipment. You can usually schedule it when it is convenient for them to save a few bucks.
[12:43:41] * cpresser had his laser moved about 20km for 200EUR
[12:44:57] <skunkworks> PetefromTn, exactly.
[12:45:13] <PetefromTn> Bridgeports like other tall knee mills are kinda unstable so you will need to ensure they or you strap the thing down as much as possible. Also look into removing the head to lower the center of gravity.

[12:48:46] <skunkworks> yep

[12:51:59] <PetefromTn> then it is probably not too bad. You can usually lower the knee all the way down and lock it in place, center the table, and either remove or flip the head upside down to lower it down a bit,

[17:21:29] <ssi> if it's usable, I may be able to make it do what I want
[17:21:48] <ssi> I have an fpga board for the BBB already, and I have working spidev communication with it
[17:22:02] <ssi> I am about to dive into the hm2 code to see if I can figure out how to make an hm2_bcc driver :)

[17:23:20] <ssi> thanks, I'll need it
[17:23:38] <CaptHindsight> does the SPI on the BBB act as a slave as well as a master?
[17:23:40] <pcw_home> I am considering a 32bit frema interface with the first frame being the header with start address, double word count and read/write command followed by N 32 bit data frames
[17:23:59] <ssi> CaptHindsight: it can, but I haven't messed with slave mode
[17:24:55] <pcw_home> probably idle clock resets the parser
[17:24:57] <ssi> pcw_home: I've also thought about using the GPMC. It just gives you a chunk of memory in linux that you can read/write, and it'll handle address/data mux
[17:25:07] <ssi> it's 16 bit a/a/d muxed
[17:25:32] <pcw_home> Yes the GPMC is a possibility and higher bandwidth but mucks up your NAND
[17:25:33] <CaptHindsight> pcw_home: what combo of Mesa cards will give the most IO along with 7 servo?
[17:25:47] <pcw_home> 7 is awkward
[17:25:54] <pcw_home> 6 is easy
[17:25:58] <CaptHindsight> yeah, heh
[17:26:00] <ssi> I'm not so worried about the nand
[17:26:53] <pcw_home> may lose some other things, not sure whats muxed with the GPMC
[17:27:14] <ssi> nothing else I care about
[17:27:17] <ssi> the hdmi framer also
[17:27:30] <ssi> I sorta care about that, cause it'd be nice for the BBB to run it's own video
[17:27:41] <ssi> so I may go down the SPI path first
[17:28:41] <CaptHindsight> pcw_home: 7i65 has 8, is there a driver for Linuxcnc?
[17:28:47] <pcw_home> I went the way on the 7I91 since it leaves me with 72 FPGA I/O on a TQFP spartan6
[17:28:54] <pcw_home> that way
[17:29:29] <pcw_home> Yes there is a 7I65 driver but some LinuxCNC cleanup broke the driver
[17:29:38] -!- mhaberler has quit [Quit: mhaberler]
[17:29:39] <CaptHindsight> oh great
[17:30:36] <pcw_home> so it works with 2.5 something but not 2.5.1 or 2.5.2
[17:30:51] <CaptHindsight> any idea where the problem is?
[17:31:17] <CaptHindsight> I wanted to order some boards today
[17:31:18] <pcw_home> I was hoping Any would look at it but he's immersed in the tool stuff
[17:32:03] <pcw_home> there was some kind of naming fix in comps that broke it (thats all I remember)
[17:32:27] <CaptHindsight> so I should plan on using 2.5 until I or somebody such as Andy fixes it
[17:32:35] <pcw_home> (the 7I65 uses a comp that interfaces with the generic SPI driver)
[17:33:15] <pcw_home> (All the 7I65 specific stuff is on the comp)

[17:47:18] <pcw_home> Yes
[17:47:31] <CaptHindsight> all the drivers are there?
[17:48:00] <IchGuckLive> CaptHindsight: look in the lib/firmware folder
[17:48:13] <pcw_home> yes (other than mentioned 7I65 comp issues)
[17:48:20] <CaptHindsight> IchGuckLive: yes, but that won't tell me the quirks
[17:50:07] <pcw_home> dont think theres much difference in a 3X20 and a 5I23 software wise (a couple of PCI ID #s and number of I/O bits maybe)

[17:51:59] <ssi> pcw_home: is that insufficient?
[17:52:41] <pcw_home> should be fine, with decent protocol < 1 usec per doubleword
[17:52:43] <CaptHindsight> I could use a servo output to modulate a laser and some fluid pumps

[17:54:14] <pcw_home> probably between 20 and 80 doublewords is about the range depending on I/O amount
[17:54:50] <pcw_home> a simple 3 axis mill or a lathe is closer to the low end
[17:54:56] <ssi> ok great
[17:55:19] <ssi> if I can wrap my brain around the hm2 code, I think I have a shot at making this work :D
[17:57:04] <PetefromTn> yup......the PETE guy.
[17:58:30] <ssi> mango, kiwi, and blueberries for lunch today
[17:58:57] <pcw_home> Note that the Ethernet support changes to the Hm2 driver (packetizing all I/O)
[17:58:59] <pcw_home> will impact any SPI work as efficient use of the SPI FIFO will probably require the same changes
[18:02:50] <CaptHindsight> whats the actual problem with using SDIO? I know the drives had issues in the past so interrupt response was poor

[20:57:08] <Tom_itx> http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/examples/mpg.html
[20:57:16] <Tom_itx> look at the 2nd example there
[20:57:34] <Tom_itx> i see several things that confuse me
[20:57:45] <Tom_itx> mux4 has no output
[20:58:13] <Tom_itx> lopass is fed to scale instead of the mux switch
[20:58:58] <Tom_itx> and axis.x.jog-enable aren't used for axis selection

[20:59:57] -!- jerryitt has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[21:00:18] <Tom_itx> don't you want to feed the encoder counts thru the ilowpass element then to the axis.x.jog-counts?

[22:31:43] <Tom_itx> i noticed you're not using the enables either
[22:32:02] <Tom_itx> what switches the axis on yours?
[22:32:31] <JT-Shop> 4 position selector switches for increment and axis selection
[22:32:59] <atom1> i see scale
[22:33:19] <atom1> but no axis selector code
[22:33:49] <atom1> unless it's the or2 stuff
[22:34:03] <JT-Shop> yea
[22:34:28] <atom1> ok, i'm using mux4 on that
[22:34:41] <atom1> err no
[22:34:41] <JT-Shop> you might have to adapt some
[22:34:51] <atom1> well i figured that
[22:34:56] <atom1> just comparing
[22:35:00] <JT-Shop> that is a mux4 too
[22:35:07] <JT-Shop> I just gave it a name :)
[22:35:23] <atom1> yeah i saw that
[22:36:02] <atom1> i'm using axis.x.jog-enable though and i didn't see that on yours
[22:36:12] <atom1> made me wonder how you select the active axis
[22:39:17] <JT-Shop> hmm
[22:40:20] <JT-Shop> ah, some is in the axis section

[22:44:32] <atom1> ahh ok
[22:46:14] <atom1> ok when i add the ilowpass to it, when i turn the mpg the axis takes off in a direction
[22:48:18] <JT-Shop> too fast, too slow, right direction, wrong direction?
[22:48:47] <atom1> well i'm gonna try it again but i hit estop before i could figure it all out
[22:48:59] <JT-Shop> try one click
[22:49:00] <atom1> i think it was the right direction
[22:49:26] <atom1> also decided to remove the tool :)
[22:49:34] <JT-Shop> :)
[22:53:14] * JT-Shop hopes this hole finishes the correct size...
[22:55:10] <atom1> the scale is just WAAYY off
[22:55:22] <atom1> 1 click is like 2"
[22:56:17] <atom1> 1.6 to be exact
[22:56:25] <JT-Shop> what is your scale number? you have to divide by 4 or or something
[22:56:46] <JT-Shop> 0.0001 = 0.010" on mine
[22:56:49] <atom1> probably was due to the mode setting

[23:24:45] <atom1> i'm not sure what's wrong with the mux4.0.out being missing
