[08:07:06] -!- i_tarzan has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[08:07:27] <ReadError> you may have 1!
[08:09:06] <false> I am in the process of retrofitting an old Matsuura MC710V, I am using Mesa cards (2x 7i33, 1x 7i37). I am reusing the drives which are old fanuc velocity drives with tach input (using the second 7i33 as tach output to drives). Now for the first question, is it normal for the servo to drift when I use the following: P0 I0 D0? I have shorted the analog and tacho to ground on the drives to
[08:09:06] <false> correct for 0 drift on the drive. I also tried to get the 7i33 outputs as close to zero as I can, within 0.0015V. But when I connect the drives to the 7i33 with those pid parameters and enable the drives the servo starts to drift.

[08:17:04] <false> And the second (sorry I need more than one :P), if I use a Pgain of more than 0.5 and jog at low speed (250mm/m) the axis oscilates violently to the point where the fuses blow or the drives go into overload, I am seeing way higher numbers on other configs, is there something I am missing?
[08:19:19] <false> I've followed the tutorial on tuning velocity drives but I can't set my Pgain high enough to correct for initial following error.

[08:24:04] <cncbasher> anyone running camview on development as run in place , i find the onscreen dro's work fine on installed 2.5.3 , but emc.halio plugin fails when used on dev and run in place
[08:29:03] Cylly is now known as Loetmichel
[08:30:24] <archivist> cncbasher, been some chatter on the mailing lists with mention of emc.halio
[08:31:05] <archivist> not deeply following as I dont run camview
[08:31:33] <cncbasher> yes i have seen it and thats what prompted me to look further
[08:32:17] <Valen> false: the numbers are irrilivent
[08:32:31] <Valen> also if you are metric vs inches i believe they will be very different
[08:32:49] <cncbasher> i presume it's linking to installed version
[08:33:33] <Valen> i don't know about velocity drives in paticular but generally set P higher and higher till it oscilates then back it off by 1/3rd
[08:33:59] <Valen> add some ff1 to null out any fixed offset (this could be different with a velocity drive)
[08:34:02] <false> Valen: Increase while idle, and don't try to move the axis?
[08:34:06] <Valen> add some I and a little D
[08:34:12] <Valen> move the axis around
[08:34:16] <Valen> slow and fast
[08:34:41] <Valen> my P is like 3 on one axis and 5 on another
[08:35:03] <Valen> also make sure your deadband is larger than an encoder count
[08:35:13] <Valen> otherwise I will build up and make it oscilate
[08:35:29] <false> Ok, I'll go and try those, thanks!
[08:36:07] <false> Did you happen to see my first question to?
[08:36:46] <Valen> if you have no correction random noise and offsets will make it drift
[08:37:26] <false> Ok, thought that was it, but wanted to make sure before I try to tuning something that isn't correct in the first place
[08:37:50] <Valen> i think there is a "bias" term you can put in to correct that?
[08:39:32] <false> I'm going to try again, thanks for your help!

[13:45:49] <pcw_home> large static errors say torque mode to me

[13:49:50] <pcw_home> if they are smaller motors an you can decouple them you should be able to feel the

[13:49:53] <pcw_home> (it should attempt to hold the shaft still if you turn it, though it may creep slowly)
[13:52:08] <false> Feedback is correct, it is inverted. The drive uses a vcmd of 7v/1000rpm and a tsa (tacho) of 6V/1000rpm but a positive command must generate a negative tacho signal, otherwise servo runs away at full speed. The servo is working correctly but I cannot get the tuning right

[14:04:01] <false> shouldn't that be zero?
[14:04:04] <pcw_home> well 77 mv should make it move
[14:04:55] <pcw_home> there will be some offset but it should be maybe 1/10 or or less
[14:05:41] <false> It isnt moving, I watched hm_5i20.0.encoder.[z].count and its dead quiet
[14:06:24] <false> I tuned the drive for 0 drift with the analog and tacho shorted to ground.
[14:06:58] <pcw_home> tune for 0 drift when the drives are enabled and connected to the 7I33
[14:07:48] <false> funny story, when the 7i33 is connected the offset potmeter does not have any effect, could the 0.0775V be to much to correct with the offset potmeter?
[14:08:47] <pcw_home> when the 7I33 is connected you must disable the PID loop to make this adjustment
[14:10:08] <false> So I must enable the 7i33 outputs + drive, and disable the pid loop?
[14:11:08] <false> That makes sense, the loop is just correcting the offset adjustment I am making, correct?
[14:11:17] <pcw_home> Yes (it will not drift if the PID loop in working)
[14:12:00] <false> Ok I'll go and do that, thanks for your help Peter!

[14:28:10] <false> Again no response from the offset potmeter, the tacho out is responding to the moving axis so the drive is getting a tacho feedback, with the PID disabled the 7i33 output is at .0244V
[14:29:18] <false> I should offset this to as close to 0 as I can get right, but still very strange the offset potmeter is not doing anything. The drive does respond when analog an tacho are shorted to ground
[14:29:38] <pcw_home> wiring problem?
[14:31:12] <pcw_home> does the drive have differential inputs?
[14:31:40] <false> All shielded twisted pair separate for each signal, shield terminated at the 7i33. Connecting a 1.5V battery to the drive's analog in the drive responds as it should.
[14:32:05] <pcw_home> but does the drive have differential inputs?
[14:32:24] <false> Unfortunatly, no
[14:32:33] <pcw_home> Yuck
[14:32:35] <false> common ground
[14:32:39] <false> yep
[14:33:29] <false> sorry didnt catch your question the first time
[14:33:40] <pcw_home> sure you have the PID /velocity feedback disabled?
[14:34:07] <false> all set to zero
[14:34:38] <false> i can comment out the following to be sure: net x-enable => pid.x.enable??
[14:34:39] -!- ravenlock has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
[14:35:28] <pcw_home> Yes
[14:35:36] <false> Ill do that
[14:35:44] <pcw_home> how is the velocity feedback wired in hal?
[14:37:20] <pcw_home> it should be something like: mumble.encoder.n.velocity --> mumble.pwm.value
[14:38:24] <false> net y-tacho-out <= scale.tacho-y.out => hm2_5i20.0.pwmgen.04.value

[14:39:45] <false> net y-vel-fb <= hm2_5i20.0.encoder.00.velocity
[14:40:11] <pcw_home> OK so a scale comp in between (though PWM scale should do)
[14:40:37] <false> yes i tried the pwm scale but it didnt work, probably me doing it wrong
[14:41:17] <pcw_home> it should (and you can use a negative sale to reverse the output)
[14:41:27] <pcw_home> negative scale

[14:44:37] <false> correction the scale is not set negative, but the encoder is
[14:47:22] <pcw_home> well the encoder scale needs to be set to get the correct axis readout

[14:50:02] <pcw_home> at least if you get the drive enables and encoder working first, linuxcnc can catch them
[14:50:33] <false> Yes indeed
[14:51:06] <JT-Shop> unless you turn the ballscrew by hand first and verify the direction is correct
[14:52:02] <false> I knew the polarity of the orignals so i checked them first, but assumed after 2 encoders the 3rd would be the same, it was kind of hard to reach
[14:52:52] <false> I should have been the same but the repairman had switched the A and B channels
[14:53:14] <pcw_home> Yes you can also disable the drive and see the that the analog output voltage changes in such a way as to resist the motor shaft motion
[14:53:51] <false> I will go and try some more things, brb

[17:53:06] <andypugh> AHoy!
[17:54:52] <archivist> so I went hunting for the maths, found some, stuck it in some php...
http://www.archivist.info/gear/designbevel.php
[17:55:56] <andypugh> That's a bit over-zealous :-)
[17:56:27] <archivist> there is still some missing though
[17:57:06] <andypugh> Do you think it is possible to generate bevels with spiral hobs and CNC?
[17:57:22] <archivist> no
[17:58:13] <skunkworks> heh - are you sure? ;)
[17:58:16] <archivist> the faster machines use two spindles on a taper path
[17:59:31] <archivist> reasonable sure for straight bevels, I am ignoring hypoid
[17:59:48] <andypugh> There is a simplified type that uses formed tools and two cuts to get the taper. I guess the problem is that a spiral hob doesn't generate the correct form?
[18:00:35] <andypugh> It would be interesting to see what yoy _do_ get :-)
[18:00:42] <archivist> the form is right but no taper on a spiral hob
[18:01:15] <archivist> there are some tangential hobs
[18:01:18] <andypugh> And I guess that the tooth gap is fixed.
[18:02:20] <andypugh> Have you seen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtKH_fKOod0
[18:02:21] <Tecan> (NtKH_fKOod0) "Bevel gear solutions through up-Gear Technology" by "sandvikcoromant" is "Tech" - Length: 0:06:45
[18:03:09] <andypugh> That looks like quite a stiff machine tool!
[18:04:59] <archivist> andypugh, just had a look in the barber colman book there is a taper tooth method with unsymetrical tooth form, used on anti backlash gear, used an oblique feed

[18:17:02] <FinboySlick> That's pretty cool
[18:17:15] <jmasseo> i thought tormach had historically supported mach
[18:17:34] <archivist> yes but they want the lathe to work :)

[19:30:56] <andypugh> Mainly steel.
[19:31:12] <cradek> in thin stuff that works (it's forgiving about uprightness)
[19:31:14] <andypugh> But I can't see it working less well in aluminium
[19:31:49] <andypugh> I wouldn't necessarily use it for blind holes.
[19:32:03] <cradek> if your fixture plate has blind holes you're doing it wrong
[19:32:27] <AR__> lul
[19:32:34] <AR__> it will all be through holes
[19:32:36] <AR__> for sure
[19:32:44] <andypugh> Actually, in your situation I think I would become gradually more enthusiastic hole by hole, then get the drill out at about hole number 6
[19:32:57] <AR__> lol
[19:33:08] <cradek> in your situation I'd buy a tapping head and stick it on the drill press
[19:33:11] <JT-Shop> yep with a sprial point tap and a cordless you can go to town

[19:34:06] <false> Hey all, I have a question, earlier I was having trouble tuning my servos. I could not ajust my drives for 0 drift with drives enabled an PID disabled, turns out when I connect a multi meter to measure the output on the VCMD pins I can. I measured the resistance of the drive input and it is about 300ohms. I am using a 7i33, the manual states the load should be at least 5KOhms, could this be
[19:34:06] <false> the problem?
[19:34:49] <AR__> i've heard you can make a holder to lightly hold the tap, with a square hole in the back for the square shank
[19:34:58] <AR__> then run it in a drill press or mill under power
[19:35:07] <AR__> and when you stop feeding it just pulls out of the holder
[19:35:25] <AR__> but if it galls up and sticks it would definitely break
[19:35:43] <AR__> need a slip clutch or something lol
[19:35:54] <JT-Shop> if it galls up your doing it wrong
[19:36:14] <AR__> i mean like
[19:36:20] <JT-Shop> what size tap?
[19:36:22] <AR__> when you hand tap, you break the chip by backing out a bit
[19:36:29] <AR__> under power you dont do that
[19:36:38] <AR__> 1/4-20
[19:36:47] <cradek> you have the wrong tap if you have to back up
[19:36:57] <cradek> get good spiral point taps
[19:36:58] <JT-Shop> nope and I tape thousands of 1/4-20 and never back up except to come out of the hole
[19:37:04] <AR__> hm
[19:37:05] <cradek> even if you're hand tapping get spiral point
[19:37:08] <JT-Shop> yep
[19:37:12] <JT-Shop> yep
[19:37:27] <andypugh> false: Is the 7i33 enabled?

[19:38:37] <andypugh> I would expect the multimeter to be a few megs, not enough conductance for the 7i33 to notice.
[19:39:07] <andypugh> With the drive disabled and the mutlimeter on the 7i33 output, can you make a voltage appear?

[19:55:06] <AR__> how in the fuck does that tap work
[19:55:33] <JT-Shop> thread forming tap, not cutting
[19:56:16] <archivist> brute force, moves the metal
[19:56:31] <JT-Shop> I'll have to start buying my taps from enco they are more cost effective
[19:57:16] <Loetmichel> thread forming is great
[19:57:17] <AR__> o
[19:58:07] -!- zzolo has quit [Quit: zzolo]
[19:58:10] <Loetmichel> no swarf, harder and smoother thread surface, much more rigid tap tool (breaks not that easily).
[19:58:43] <Loetmichel> only drawback: taps are expensive and makes a "volcano" on the surface of the material
[19:58:58] <Loetmichel> i.e the holes should be generously countersunk
[19:59:25] <cradek> and best if reamed to size
[19:59:37] <AR__> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRAXB545MVA
[20:00:21] <cradek> I've only form-tapped 4-40, but it worked great (blind holes)
[20:01:21] <Loetmichel> the company which builds our computer cases does it all day
[20:01:29] <Loetmichel> m2,5 to m8
[20:01:36] <Loetmichel> in aluminium and mild steel
[20:01:46] <Loetmichel> best threaded holes ever
[20:02:33] <Loetmichel> especially in zinc plated sheet steel
[20:03:10] <Loetmichel> whre his cnc punch makes little "volcanos" on poupose to sink the form-tap in
[20:03:45] <AR__> lol
[20:03:53] <Loetmichel> (i.e uses a 2,8mm punch and a 4.8mm die to make the pre-holes for the treads
[20:04:12] <archivist> how many holes per tap?
[20:04:24] <Loetmichel> because a m3 thread in 1mm steel doesent hold much
[20:04:36] <Loetmichel> so it has at least 2,5mm of thread
[20:04:45] <Loetmichel> about a 1000 or so
[20:04:52] <Loetmichel> then the tool is worn
[20:05:06] <archivist> lubricated or dry
[20:05:12] <Loetmichel> lubricated
[20:05:29] <AR__> ok at my machine

[20:08:30] <AR__> yeh
[20:08:52] <JT-Shop> unless your bored I'd just make them as needed
[20:09:17] <AR__> maybe i'll just do 2" for now and i can add more later

[20:09:46] <Loetmichel> just
[20:09:51] <archivist> this little plate I did has them at 20mm
[20:10:36] <Tom_itx> i did a 1" pattern on my little mill

[20:49:37] <andypugh> It would be interesting to try.

[20:51:15] <andypugh> (Also, what voltage and current do you need to switch? The 7i64 has quite a high voltage and current rating)
[20:51:24] <false> I have a Mesa 5i20 + 2x 7i33 + 1x 7i37ta
[20:51:56] <false> I need to switch some relays for an ATC and some extras like auto lube, coolant, etc
[20:52:53] <false> So the 5i20 is full, and I was thinking to interface via usb
[20:53:04] <andypugh> You have run out of outputs on the 7i37TA?
[20:53:40] <false> Yes almost, so I thought this might be a nice solution for non real time critical stuff
[20:54:16] <andypugh> It ought to be possible, but I don't know if the software components exist
[20:54:49] <false> I couldn't find anything on it so that's why I asked here
[20:55:30] <false> What would we need for this? An rt compatible usb driver (rt-usb maybe??) and a way to interface this to LinuxCNC?
[20:55:37] <andypugh> The 7i33 encoder connections are RS422 and the comms protocol that LinuxCNC supports the 7i64 on is Rs422. It is just about feasible that a special bitfile could allow you to connect the 7i64 to 4 terminals of a 7i33

[23:05:03] <andypugh> Aha!
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/nas/nas-reviews/31314-wd-my-book-live-reviewed?showall=&start=1 says that only the default Public mount is NFS-able. (not that we have had any more luck with that)
[23:06:11] <false> correct, but you can add more

[23:07:58] <cradek> nfs can be done over tcp or udp, and some servers require the mount request come from a reserved port

[23:23:44] <false> Ah this is starting to get interesting
[23:24:03] <false> but thats not via nfs right?
[23:24:39] <andypugh> The command was sudo mount 192.168.0.49:/nfs/Public ./Resources
[23:25:03] <andypugh> If I can figure out how to unmount it I can try again with an explicit -t nfs
[23:25:49] <andypugh> On the NAS everything in default/portmap is commented
[23:26:04] <false> umount
[23:26:44] <false> umount /dir of course
[23:27:04] <false> Never got why they didnt name it unmount
[23:27:45] <andypugh> Yes, -t nfs still mounts nicely in the Mac.

[23:29:57] <andypugh> Already did that hours ago

[23:50:43] <false> don't know about the CAPS Public
[23:50:58] <false> use the same url as you did on the mac
[23:52:50] <false> if this doesn't work we can try to force tcp connections only
[23:53:01] <false> and after that I am out of ideas
[23:53:24] <andypugh> That worked
[23:53:30] <andypugh> :-)
[23:53:34] <andypugh> But why?
[23:53:54] <false> the problem lies with the server not responding fast enough, the default timeout for this is 0.7 per command
[23:54:03] <false> now its 5 seconds
[23:54:55] <andypugh> Is that a sticky setting?
[23:54:59] <Tom_itx> the woes of technology
[23:55:08] <andypugh> Because now it works without the -timeo
[23:55:09] <false> no you need to put it in your fstab
[23:55:34] <andypugh> But previously it was taking about a minute to timeout..
[23:56:12] <false> It times out trying to connect, the timeout we set just now is the timeout for the client to wait for a server response after a command
[23:56:58] <false> So if the client ask to connect it waits 0.7 seconds by default, if this doesnt work it tries again for 60 seconds or so
[23:57:31] <false> so if the server doesnt respond within that period the connection is never established
[23:58:17] <false> just put it in your fstab like this
[23:58:53] <andypugh> 192.168.0.49:/nfs/git /home/andypugh/git nfs rw,hard,intr,timeo=50 0 0
[23:58:59] <andypugh> ?
[23:59:15] <false> yes and add nfsvers=3 to be sure
