[00:05:20] <somenewguy> JT-Shop: got it uploadedto the forum, and on the bright side it looks like FF can upload now? I noticed apost saying that was broken
[00:07:33] <JT-Shop> that was a long time ago IIRC
[00:07:43] <Aero-Tec> but how can one connect openCV to EMC and use the info in EMC to control equipment?
[00:07:44] <JT-Shop> I see it and will take care of you in a bit

[00:12:28] <somenewguy> awesome thanks! got the install running on a spare PC, but its a dinosaur so I still need to do a latency test
[00:17:28] <CaptHindsight> Aero-Tec:
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Axis_Embed_Video is a simple example
[00:18:59] <CaptHindsight> Aero-Tec: I'm working on something similar with opencv and Linuxcnc
[00:19:16] <Aero-Tec> cool
[00:19:25] <Aero-Tec> maybe we can work together
[00:21:11] <CaptHindsight> scanning parts, defect detection, alignment etc
[00:21:43] <Aero-Tec> the embedded video is cool but not usable for auto detection of size of something and changing things in real time to maintain a proper output of product
[00:22:32] <CaptHindsight> yeah, they didn't go that far
[00:22:38] <CaptHindsight> just a start
[00:22:39] <Aero-Tec> or am I missing something in the embedded video thing?
[00:23:35] <CaptHindsight> edge detection for alignment
[00:23:37] <Aero-Tec> are you saying openCV does not go that far or embedded video does not or both?
[00:24:03] <CaptHindsight> the example using openCV with Linuxcnc
[00:24:16] <CaptHindsight> openCV is a library
[00:24:21] <Aero-Tec> it would be cool to use openCV for auto homing
[00:25:41] <CaptHindsight> using fiducials on pcb's is a good example
[00:26:17] <CaptHindsight> scan for the fiducials, set home

[01:05:14] <kwallace1> I moved my Shizuoka on a double axle car trailer. After loading the mill, the tires looked like they where low on pressure, so I tried to fill them, but they were already at 40 psi. I went 30 mph all the way back home.
[01:06:08] <spack> heh
[01:06:32] <spack> 1600 for delivery from california including loading isn't bad at all
[01:06:33] <somenewguy> I did the same but with 11 punks in a station wagon

[01:09:23] <spack> where'd you find it?
[01:10:04] <kwallace1> It was on eBay, located in Sacramento.
[01:10:22] <spack> i've been trolling ebay for a couple months
[01:10:35] <spack> got a deal on a bostomatic, but the dude selling it went into the hospital
[01:10:52] <spack> other than that, i haven't really found any deals
[01:11:42] <spack> this shiz would be nice if it were local, but it doesn't have a tool changer
[01:12:07] <spack> looks like it has 5 tool holders
[01:14:47] <kwallace1> My TC has 24 tool holders:

[05:05:59] <uw> depends on the tooling you have, material you plan to machine it out of, machine you're using
[05:06:01] <uw> etc
[05:06:25] <uw> but yea making the part and generating the gcode could probably be done in 30 mins?
[05:06:31] <uw> maybe 1hr?
[05:06:59] <uw> then going over the gcode and dry running it (which i always do because i have very little faith in pycam and dont wnat to break my machine)
[05:07:34] <uw> the actual cutting though depends on above though
[05:08:09] <archivist> s1dev, a proper gear, or what
[05:09:00] <s1dev> its involute
[05:09:01] <archivist> as cam generally knows little about gears
[05:09:56] <archivist> it is trivial to gear mill with an involute cutter and 4th axis with hand written gcode
[05:10:11] <s1dev> in 3d printing, complex shapes are achieved by a whole bunch of small G1 commands
[05:10:29] <s1dev> I have an decently small endmill and 4 axes
[05:10:49] <s1dev> so I'm wondering if there's something like that for machining
[05:10:59] <archivist> you can generate the form with 4 axis
[05:11:52] <archivist> but an endmilll has the cutter 90 deg from where you need it
[05:12:20] <s1dev> I could hand write the code to machine an approximation of an involute gear
[05:12:26] <s1dev> how so?
[05:17:47] <archivist> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJQtx80euGM
[05:20:19] <s1dev> I'm not trying to machine teeth nearly as small although that does seem like a good method otherwise
[05:20:37] <archivist> that is not making small teeth
[05:21:30] <archivist> but is a general method to use rack form to generate a curve

[08:03:40] <Loetmichel> uw: for the dust: as long as you dont look like me... ->
http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=5077 ... everything is fine ;-)
[08:04:17] <Loetmichel> the ballscrews usually have rubberlips to prevenbt dust vom entering the nuts.

[08:05:07] <uw> Loetmichel, yes for that one the bit had a tiny bur that really messed up the cut
[08:05:29] <uw> and LOL for that picture. it looks like you and the machine had a fight
[08:05:44] <DJ9DJ> hrhr
[08:06:07] <Loetmichel> just had to plane down a big urethane plastic block with a 40mm mill bit.
[08:06:08] <uw> that or the vaccum was in disagreement
[08:06:25] <Loetmichel> and the dust collector nozzle doesent fit over the bit.
[08:06:58] <Loetmichel> o i was standing exactly in the direction the mill bit throwed the stream of chips
[08:07:04] <Loetmichel> so
[08:07:12] <uw> oh i see
[08:07:16] <Loetmichel> searching...
[08:07:42] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=4378
[08:07:51] <Loetmichel> there you can see it with some other plastic
[08:08:50] <uw> looks like a cotton candy factory
[08:08:57] <Loetmichel> hrhr
[08:09:14] <Loetmichel> normally there is a dust collector over the mill bit
[08:09:41] <Loetmichel> like in this video:

[11:10:28] <archivist> usually written as 1.023 etc
[11:10:53] <archivist> fractions in math are history
[11:11:18] <Jymmm> No, I meant literally a fraction... 13/16 wrench, etc
[11:11:59] <archivist> but I am trying to put some sense across
[11:13:24] <Jymmm> Heh, that's not what i was asking though. I'm working on a chart and I want to know if 128th and 256th are useful in some applications
[11:13:29] <jthornton> netgear nanny says I've used 12.06 Mbytes since 00:00
[11:13:52] <Jymmm> jthornton: you got a new router?
[11:13:54] <jthornton> $29.95 Netgear from Walmart
[11:14:04] <Jymmm> that works =)
[11:14:32] <Jymmm> jthornton: does it tell you what kind of traffic it was?
[11:14:35] <jthornton> yea, I just had to power cycle the other routers after setting up the netgear
[11:14:48] <jthornton> it has up and down and total
[11:14:53] <Jymmm> ah
[11:15:47] <jthornton> and it has a free desktop app to show the traffic statistics
[11:16:07] <Jymmm> JT-Shop-3: jthornton BOTH of you generate traffic
[11:16:50] <jthornton> not much on the IRC

[11:36:29] <Jymmm> jthornton: OH, you know what... You might start using your browsers in mobile mode.
[11:37:10] <Jymmm> jthornton: They are usually lightweight compared to the "normal" website.
[11:38:18] <jthornton> I'm just curious if the netgear numbers and the wildblue numbers are the same now
[11:38:35] <jthornton> we will see in a few days
[11:39:02] <jthornton> so far I've used 44Mbytes so it doesn't even show up on wildblue's GB meter
[11:39:30] <Jymmm> you've trippled yourbandwidth usage in less than an hour???
[11:39:55] <skunkworks> jthornton, did you end up finding out what was chatty?
[11:40:30] <jthornton> not exactly but I suspect the eye things so I turned wifi off on them
[11:41:52] <Jymmm> 12MB @ 4:13, 44MB @ 4:39
[11:42:37] <jthornton> I looked at some photos

[11:47:36] <Jymmm> 1440 minutes in 24hours @ 1.2MB/minute = 1.7GB/day @ 30.4 Days per month = 52GB per month

[15:43:52] <kwallace2> Basically, it is most common to set the tool path to climb cut.
[15:46:02] <uw> interesting. thats opposite of what i usually cut (hoever i've never done a helical cut)

[15:49:29] <kwallace2> My understanding is that "conventional" cutting is a manual milling practice, to counter backlash. CNC machines should never have backlash and climb cutting produces a better finish.
[15:50:41] <jdh> but then I have read that light finish passes should be conventional

[15:55:24] <kwallace2> A major issue on the Sandvik pages is the use of trochoidal milling, which tries to make sure the cutter tip enters each cut at an angle to the material surface. Linear ramping has the cut starting with a 'glance'.

[15:58:30] <uw> yes i've always heard "conventional" where the mill is like a wheel and goes along with the cut, not against it
[15:59:13] <uw> but again, i'm not a serious machinist and have never used a sandvik tool which looks to be a very different process
[15:59:59] <uw> i've never even had a tool with inserts, even though they look awesome and I want to get one

[17:39:59] <andypugh> PCW: You only get the trigger-encoder function of there is no hm2dpll module.
[17:42:49] <PCW> OK
[17:43:20] <andypugh> It turns out to be quite hard to get the ssi module to be reading at the point of "tram" read.
[17:43:49] <andypugh> It's not easy to tell whether it is being triggered before or after the read.
[17:44:04] <PCW> well it needs to read _berfore_ tram read
[17:44:57] <PCW> maybe busy should be set as a side effect of read

[17:46:14] <PCW> but there should be a large window available (most of a millisecond) where the timer can be set

[17:46:30] -!- eFuchs has quit [Quit: ping timeout]
[17:46:36] <andypugh> Yes, quite.
[17:47:01] <PCW> what about having busy set by reading the data?
[17:47:09] <andypugh> But, given that ideally you would like to trigger at the last moment possible to have the freshest data.
[17:47:46] <PCW> Yes so ssi time + max jitter
[17:48:05] <andypugh> I guess what is important is the ratio between read being triggered and the data being read?

[17:51:44] <andypugh> Phase lock seems to work, and you can choose which timer you want to allocate to each function.
[17:52:22] <andypugh> The default lead-time is 0 uS though. Which will work, but is probably pessimum.
[17:56:14] <jdh> what does TIR stand for, in normal useage for this group.

[18:15:02] <andypugh> We had an RS press with a set of bending, nothching and louvre tools at Leeds university. It was immensely useful. And very expensive:

[18:15:46] <Loetmichel> how cute ;-)
[18:16:07] <archivist> we had one of those at a previous job
[18:16:16] <Loetmichel> archivist_ moment. will make a pic of the back
[18:16:31] <archivist> dont think it used to be that expensive!
[18:16:43] <PCW> That is phase error is read from sync location (which phase locks DPLL as a read side effect)
[18:16:45] <PCW> This must only be done once (and the data read here is the phase error)

[18:20:20] <PCW> it really should be jitter wise
[18:21:21] <PCW> is the phase error pin the data from this read? (trying to track down why I have an offset)

[18:29:35] <andypugh> the phase error pin you see is read from 0x7100, the phase error register...
[18:29:56] <JT-Shop> usage chart?

[18:32:54] <archivist> Loetmichel, that one is actually from a printing company
[18:33:28] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Yep, But at least you have some way to guage your daily usage and if you'll have any bandwidth left at the end of the month
[18:34:14] <Loetmichel> archivist: the nice point is that my press was only 50 km from here and is just a few years old, no rust, and works like a charm.
[18:34:20] <Loetmichel> AND it was cheap ;)
[18:35:08] <Loetmichel> anyone knows whre to get cheap bending inserts? preferably from inside europe so no customs?

[23:08:50] <MacGalempsy> all they said is that is was an intelitek 4000, but that the ISA card is not available anymore

[23:09:49] <MacGalempsy> I got a quote of 14k from the manufacturer to retrofit it, but I thought it could be done for a lot less running mach and some geckos
[23:10:05] <Tom_itx> andypugh didn't you have PSU problems once before?
[23:10:13] <andypugh> Yes, a lot less.
[23:10:22] <Tom_itx> same issues?
[23:10:28] <Tom_itx> weak point?
[23:11:18] <andypugh> Tom_itx: Indeed. I think I will find exactly the same problem as last time too, a welded relay that comects the 15ohm 50W resistor across the rectified mains..
[23:12:22] <andypugh> MacGalempsy: You probably don't need the Geckos with LinuxCNC
[23:12:28] <Tom_itx> that didn't take long to blow again
[23:12:36] <Tom_itx> better rethink that one a bit
[23:13:19] <andypugh> No, and this time I have no idea what the problem was. Maybe a temporarly power glitch just long enough to drop the relay out and in again.
[23:13:29] <Tom_itx> is that for your brake or to drain the caps on power down?
[23:13:30] <MacGalempsy> oh. andypugh honestly, my only cnc experience was building a 3d printer from scratch, but I want to start prototyping some of my designs in steal

[23:28:11] <micges_> ofc if drivers are also from baldor
[23:28:33] <MacGalempsy> I could call the support and ask, the guy seemed pretty interested when I asked about it
[23:28:39] <andypugh> LinuxCNC supports a variety of cards that can control that, at around the $250 level. Either the Pico PPMC (parallel port interface, but as a data bus) or PCI (Mesa 5i25 / 7i77 combination)

[23:29:24] <MacGalempsy> interesting, I will need to start reading up.

[23:29:37] micges_ is now known as micges
[23:29:40] <andypugh> You could probably even run it with the Servo-to-go ISA card if you wanted to get traditional about it.
[23:30:13] <MacGalempsy> I dont care about traditional
[23:30:18] <micges> it there are baldors with analog interface they are trivial to interface with mesa 5i25 + 7i77
[23:30:39] <andypugh> If you look at
http://www.baldor.com/support/Literature/Load.ashx/BR1202-C?LitNumber=BR1202-C
[23:30:49] <andypugh> at the block-diagram on page 15.

[23:31:38] <andypugh> Then the FPGA will be replaced by the FPGA on the Mesa or Pico card. Then the DSP is replaced by LinuxCNC and the real-time kernel.
[23:32:32] <MacGalempsy> what do you guys think will be the hardest part of the conversion?
[23:33:42] <andypugh> Figuring out which wire is what, I suspect. Though with the ISA card pinout to go from, even that might be pretty simple.
[23:34:03] <andypugh> I actually reckon that it would be about as simple as a retrofit gets.
[23:34:12] <MacGalempsy> there is a complete pinout for the card in the user manual
[23:34:24] <andypugh> The tool-changer logic is probably the least straightforward part.
[23:35:08] <andypugh> I say buy it before someone else does and strips out all the hardware to fit Mach3, steppers and gecko drives.
[23:35:40] <MacGalempsy> it sounded like the guy could hook me up with the proprietary software if I could come up with the factory ISA card. Perhaps, I will just continue the search
[23:36:15] <andypugh> I actually think that you would find LinuxCNC to be a far more flexible and configurable solution.
[23:36:41] <andypugh> Not much scope for hacking the controller logic when it is embedded on an ISA card.
[23:37:30] <kwallace1> Is the $10k Benchman the subject? If so, what about:
http://www.littlemachineshop.com/products/product_category.php?category=1241045623 ?
[23:37:33] <MacGalempsy> mostly, I am wanting a turnkey product. If it was an easy plug-in pllay deal, I may be more inclined
[23:37:50] <andypugh> You could probably make up a cable loom that allows you to connect up a LinuxCNC-supported card to the existing connector and not have to do any internal wiring changes at all.
[23:37:51] <MacGalempsy> no ATC on those
[23:38:40] <MacGalempsy> ah, actually there is
[23:38:46] <kwallace1> http://www.littlemachineshop.com/products/product_category.php?category=1963256893
[23:38:48] <andypugh> Good point though, 10k is a fair bit of cash when you can buy similar-sized stuff new for less.
[23:39:32] <MacGalempsy> there was a complete benchman up and running in may that went for 7500, so 10 with nothing seemed a little steep
[23:41:14] <kwallace1> Is a bench top class machine the goal? Full size machines can be had for the same price or less.
[23:41:45] <andypugh> Anyway, I reckon that all we can say is that is looks like a simple and chape retrofit, as you can keep all the existing hardware. Only you can say if it is the machine that you want.
[23:43:03] <MacGalempsy> I need something either single or double phase, as it will go in my garage
[23:43:31] <MacGalempsy> I like the benchman because it is enclosed, and big enough for the molds I want to make
[23:43:44] <MacGalempsy> the best part was the 20 tool ATC
[23:46:35] <andypugh> Basically there isn't a lot that LinuxCNC can't control.
[23:46:47] <kwallace1> You only need three phase for the spindle motor, adding a VFD allows one to run on 240VAC 1∅.
[23:48:32] <MacGalempsy> the benchman is 230V 2-phase
[23:48:55] <kwallace1> My machines run from a 240 VAC 40A 1∅ drop cord made from dryer bits.
[23:49:04] <MacGalempsy> you guys think 6k is too little for that machine?
[23:50:01] <kwallace1> There really is no 2-phase power since the 1920's.
[23:51:20] <andypugh> What we think doesn't matter. It's between you and the seller.
[23:52:03] <kwallace1> I would guess the benchman has a VFD to run the spindle motor.
[23:52:39] <MacGalempsy> it is a variable speed
[23:52:41] <jdh> there is a town somewhere up north with 2-phase power
[23:53:13] <MacGalempsy> i guess a better way to put it is, can I get a comparible machine for 6k?
[23:53:17] <uw> my vaca house in vt has 1 wire power
[23:53:45] <uw> MacGalempsy, what machine
[23:53:52] <MacGalempsy> to the benchman xt
[23:54:41] <uw> you mean buy out right or puttogether?

[23:56:13] <uw> is that just an RF45 in an enclosure?
[23:59:12] -!- rob_h has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[23:59:14] <kwallace1> I think the best buyer would be someone that already owns one and needs another working machine ready to go. I would love to have it but the price would need to come down a lot because I would need to convert it to LinuxCNC.
