[01:34:31] <FinboySlick> Anyone here has an idea of the kind of amperage that a typical american car horn needs to start? I'd have expected 2.5 amps of 12V DC to do but it just clicks once.
[01:35:38] <FinboySlick> I sort of top at 2.5 amps anyway so I'll have to look for a stronger supply later.

[01:54:59] <Tom_itx> heh
[01:55:17] <FinboySlick> Thought I could test with a little wall wart.
[01:55:54] <Tom_itx> test it with a car battery
[01:56:18] <FinboySlick> The plan is called: "Operation startled frenchman."
[01:56:28] <FinboySlick> Comming soon to a youtube near you.
[01:57:00] <FinboySlick> It's the hiding a car battery under his desk bit that I'm concerned about.

[01:58:21] <FinboySlick> Tom_itx: You think a typical USB port would be enough to excite a 30A automotive-type relay?
[01:58:48] <FinboySlick> Or will I have to add 5v relay to start the 12v relay?

[02:10:40] <Tom_itx> no USB is not enough
[02:11:21] <Tom_itx> 100ma without asking permission then you get 400ma iirc maybe 500ma
[02:12:01] <FinboySlick> That wouldn't excite the relay?
[02:13:01] <FinboySlick> Hmmm, I think I have a 5v driven SSR here, I could use that to trigger the 12v magnetic relay I guess.
[02:13:05] <Tom_itx> not a 12v relay

[12:38:33] <kengu> is there a step by step howto on mesacards from 0 to working machine
[12:38:45] <kengu> there are bit and pieces all over the web but

[12:45:10] <skunkworks> gonzo_, why the 7i90?
[12:47:07] <gonzo_> don't want to use an inboard fpga bard and have all the long wiring picking up noise. And I just don't trust USB
[12:47:23] <gonzo_> so the pll port option looked the best bet.
[12:47:36] <gonzo_> and it has more IO than the 7i43
[12:48:30] <skunkworks> ah
[12:49:06] <skunkworks> the 7i80 is getting there also... mesa has some pretty cool stuff.
[12:49:24] <gonzo_> that's the LAN version?
[12:49:27] <skunkworks> yes
[12:49:45] <MacGalempsy> well damn, I cannot seem to get this drive to connect to the software...
[12:50:08] <skunkworks> gonzo_,
http://www.electronicsam.com/images/KandT/testing/LaptopRTnet.jpg
[12:50:12] <MacGalempsy> but I did find the obsolete touchpad on ebay, so hopefully that will work...
[12:51:11] <gonzo_> skunkworks, I did look at that. But there is another linuxcn'er locally, using the 43 with pll drive. So I knew that option works. (and can ask for assist when i get stuck)
[12:51:48] <Jymmm> skunkworks wth is that?
[12:52:18] <skunkworks> Jymmm, mesa wizardry...
[12:52:31] <Jymmm> skunkworks: is that the ether board?
[12:52:44] <skunkworks> my laptop running xenomai realtime - connected through rtnet to a mesa 7i80
[12:53:43] <Jymmm> Hmmmmm
[12:53:58] <gonzo_> what's the latency like?
[12:53:59] <Jymmm> I thought there were still issues with the driver?
[12:54:01] <skunkworks> the led was flashing... I swear
[12:54:20] <skunkworks> there is - they are working on it. but it seems to work..
[12:54:39] <skunkworks> that laptop seems to have <20us latency
[12:54:46] <skunkworks> a fluke.
[12:54:53] <Jymmm> skunkworks: "No animated GIF (or panduit), IT NEVER HAPPENED!!!" ;)
[12:55:06] <skunkworks> :)
[12:55:39] <Jymmm> skunkworks: Is pc latency still an issue?
[12:55:51] <skunkworks> Jymmm, yes
[12:56:02] <skunkworks> it doesn't offload motion to the board..
[12:56:07] <Jymmm> skunkworks: I thought that was the whole purpose of the mesa cards
[12:56:21] <skunkworks> latency isn'
[12:56:30] <Jymmm> ???
[12:57:04] <skunkworks> latency isn't as big as an issue using mesa boards. but it still needs to be <50us-ish at the most
[12:57:05] <Jymmm> skunkworks: I'm confused
[12:57:15] <Jymmm> ah
[12:57:54] <skunkworks> Jymmm, isn
[12:57:58] <skunkworks> jeexe
[12:58:14] <skunkworks> Jymmm, isn't it like 5:00 where you are?
[12:58:17] <skunkworks> do you ever sleep?
[12:58:23] <Jymmm> skunkworks: It seems that the linxcnc core need to be offloaded to HW, and just use a PC for the front end gui stuff
[12:58:48] <Jymmm> or motion as you put it
[12:58:51] <skunkworks> I know that is what some people would like. (and may be working on it)
[12:58:58] <Jymmm> ah
[13:00:02] <Jymmm> I could easily see it being put on an SD card and loaded up on a mesa card
[13:00:14] <skunkworks> what sucks with that model - the hardware has to support all your bells and whistles. Something realtime gets added to linuxcnc (like rigid tapping) it is available to all interface hardware. vs it having to be in the 'hardware'

[13:58:18] <PetefromTn> Good Morning LinuxCNC gurus!!
[13:59:42] <JT_Shop> PetefromTn, didn't you get some servo/drives from somewhere for your machine?
[14:04:19] <MacGalempsy> there are a lot of additional digital i/o on this drive. the manufacturer only used a couple.
[14:06:29] -!- sezwai has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!]
[14:07:35] <PetefromTn> JT_Shop: Yeah man I sold off all the old ones and bought new ones from Machmotion. I used the Teco motors and matched drivers with premade cabling.
[14:08:05] <JT_Shop> thansk
[14:08:52] <PetefromTn> Why?
[14:09:10] <JT_Shop> someone was asking me where to get servo/drives for a project
[14:09:26] <PetefromTn> Oh okay. They are reasonably priced and so far work great.
[14:09:40] <PetefromTn> You making anything cool this morning?
[14:09:58] <JT_Shop> lol 75 brackets for a fence
[14:10:11] <PetefromTn> Metal or wood?
[14:10:18] <JT_Shop> metal
[14:10:55] <PetefromTn> Cool... I am sitting here doing some cutlisting for a large built in custom cabinet for a Master Bedroom suite. Should be pretty nice when done..
[14:11:38] <JT_Shop> are you running the Teco drives in velocity mode?
[14:12:06] <MacGalempsy> why would someone want to select between torque mode and personal eeprom setting as the command source?
[14:14:52] <PetefromTn> Yeah velocity..

[14:22:37] <PetefromTn> No actually just a big screen TV and some audio equipment. I have done quite a few hidden cabinets tho....
[14:22:51] <PetefromTn> This unit is over 17' long and 9' tall.
[14:23:01] <PetefromTn> Do you like it?
[14:23:22] <jdh> I can't imagine having a bedroom it would fit in.
[14:23:59] <JT_Shop> nice
[14:24:09] <PetefromTn> Yeah it is a big one....That wall is right across from the bed and there is another adjoining room with a fireplace and sectional leather for sitting
[14:25:20] <PetefromTn> That center section is countertop willl be Cherry and the faces will be white painted finish with the backs of the bookshelves being the color of the existing room. Kinda light gray.

[14:26:52] <PetefromTn> Just happened upon a good deal yesterday on a nice used heavy duty wood shaper for the woodshop. This thing was used in a shop where they built the shaper table into a large cabinet so they removed the lower sheetmetal box from the shaper machine and installed the guts and table top into their large wood table so they could do really large pieces like staircase railings.
[14:28:20] <PetefromTn> I got it for $75.00 and it runs good and looks good. Just need to build a cabinet box to make it back into a floor standing model before I can use it. I think it is like 5hp and 10k RPM. 3/4 spindle shaft with removable arbor so i can probably get or machine some new arbors to use 1 1/4 and router bits..

[15:17:27] <skunkworks> there are a ton of linuxcnc youtube videos
[15:18:36] <PetefromTn> Oh like some of the five and six axis machines, some of the GGG machines, some of the interesting fourth axis stuff. toolchangers etc. etc....
[15:19:10] <PetefromTn> I know I have probably watched them all at one time or another..
[15:36:21] <PetefromTn> I have been sitting here playing with this damn Spindle Encoder I bought for the machine and I can't believe it but I can't seem to get it apart without breaking it LOL.
[15:38:44] <archivist_herron> if it is not broken...dont
[15:40:07] <PetefromTn> LOL smartass...
[15:40:07] <archivist_herron> I had one apart a few days ago, they have an o ring which makes the cover hard to get off, NOTE they dont like dust
[15:40:20] <PetefromTn> I need to take it apart to figure out how I am gonna mount it..
[15:40:37] <archivist_herron> I got mine as a faulty freebee, dust was the fault
[15:41:06] <archivist_herron> the mounting should be obvious from the outside
[15:42:11] <PetefromTn> This is the one I have...
http://www.avagotech.com/docs/AV02-1046EN
[15:43:02] <PetefromTn> It has like a cam locking cover on it that appears to be turned with a screwdriver but I cannot get it to release..
[15:46:10] <PetefromTn> I want to design the mount to install this bad boy on my HUGE spindle motor but I need to see the inside so i can do it and I need it apart anyways so I can install it on the stub shaft I gotta turn down to fit the original motors threaded hole in the spindle shaft.
[15:51:08] <archivist_herron> I presume a film code wheel in that
[15:51:57] <PetefromTn> Yeah it has an optical code wheel..
[15:52:53] <archivist_herron> some of them are on glass
[15:53:27] <PetefromTn> dunno but it is captured inside this plastic housing that I have as yet been unable to disassemble so I might never know LOL

[15:57:36] <kwallace> Page 10 has pointers labeled 'snaps'?
[15:58:26] <archivist_herron> have you got one with a shaft or one designed that you fit it to a shaft
[15:58:59] <PetefromTn> fit it to..
[15:59:38] <PetefromTn> I tried prying on those snaps a bit but it still would not budge. Then I messed with the cam on top and it does not seem to release regardless of orientation.
[16:01:45] <archivist_herron> good fitting screw driver, plastic sticks after a long time may need some force, cap direction is mentioned for assembly so the reverse
[16:02:22] <archivist_herron> and it has click so will be hard to start rotating anti clockwise
[16:03:01] <PetefromTn> I know it must seem pretty silly to not be able to take it apart but believe me I have tried several times now and I just don't wanna break the damn thing before I even get to use it.
[16:04:49] <archivist_herron> I know what you mean. had fun over the years trying to get into things to repair them
[16:06:48] <kwallace> I would tend to gently put a blade in the seem between the base plate and housing, then a small jeweler's screw driver between the tip of a finger and the base. Pry the screw driver to open the finger and the blade should open the seem enough to keep the finger from closing again. Then do the other three fingers.

[16:13:23] <PetefromTn> Ya know what guys, I am wondering if I am not missing a piece of this thing here. Those clips or finger tips as you call them are shown beyond the bottom of the cap. That is actually how they are in the pictures and in reality but the base plate I am talking about is kinda inside the cap nowhere near the finger tips.
[16:17:18] <kwallace> My guess is that you aren't meant to take the rest apart. You need a base plate to mount the bit you have.

[16:22:07] <PetefromTn> I am not an expert by any means but I have the 5i25/7i77 combo running.
[16:22:08] <CaptHindsight> they might have used adhesive to put those parts together
[16:22:41] <plasma_ger> the pncconf is not regionising the 5i25 in the choice list
[16:23:03] <PetefromTn> So then you just slide it over the shaft and tighten the setscrew on the shaft thru the side then?
[16:23:22] <kwallace> Looks like you need the base plate that matches your housing.
[16:23:24] <PetefromTn> plasma_ger: Thats normal you need to download the firmware for the 5i25 I believe
[16:23:38] <PetefromTn> It did not come with one..

[17:54:02] <plasma_ger> pcw_home: i got now power on the 7i76 by W2 up and w3 up
[17:54:36] <plasma_ger> field power is also on the 7i76 jumper is W1 left
[17:55:04] <plasma_ger> in pncconf i got the wrong IO2 3
[17:55:26] <plasma_ger> as it says connector 3 has the stepgenerator 0-4
[17:55:44] <plasma_ger> but in the 7i76 manual there are on tb2
[17:55:47] -!- dway has quit [Quit: NOOOOOOooooooooo……]
[17:55:51] <plasma_ger> i realy need help
[17:56:56] <pcw_home> standard 7I76s configs put stepgens 0..3 on TB2
[17:57:25] <pcw_home> and stepgen 4 on TB3
[17:57:26] <pcw_home> This will be what you have
[17:57:37] <plasma_ger> i choused the 7i76X2 is this wright or shoud i chose the 7i76x1
[17:58:02] <pcw_home> Not sure it matters
[17:58:40] <plasma_ger> ok 7i76x2 gives me 10 stepgenerators do i need to change this to 5 as there where on te card
[17:58:56] <pcw_home> the 5I25 defualt will be a 7i76x2 config for a 7I76 kit
[17:59:06] <plasma_ger> ok
[17:59:26] <pcw_home> I would set the stepgens to 5 (or as many as you need)

[18:00:19] <plasma_ger> now stepconf gives me inputs on ioconnector2
[18:00:22] <pcw_home> (enabling more than you need will waste CPU time on I/O accesses that go unused)
[18:00:44] <pcw_home> which can be ignored
[18:01:13] <pcw_home> (the I/O on P2)
[18:01:32] <pcw_home> thats the 26 pin header on the 5I25 card

[18:02:45] -!- tmcw has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[18:02:51] <plasma_ger> so ioconnector 3 in stepconf is Tb2 on the 7i76
[18:05:12] <pcw_home> The 5I25's P3 connects (via buffers) to TB2 on the 7I76
[18:05:31] -!- jfire has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]

[18:07:57] <pcw_home> page 4 of the 7I76 manual shows the functions of each pin on the interface

[18:11:49] <pcw_home> That of course is with a standard 7I76 configuration
[18:11:51] <pcw_home> there is no reason the step/dir pins cant be PWM/dir

[20:07:08] <PetefromTn> Just had a guy come over to try to fix my Acer Laptop....unfortunately he HAD to take it with him. I told him to call me before the price gets too high. I normally fix my own computers and stuff but that laptop was difficult to get apart to see what was wrong with it. Hopefully he can get it sorted so it can be my portable meet with customers type of computer againLOL
[20:16:35] <skunkworks> PetefromTn, what where the symptoms?
[20:19:39] <PetefromTn> Well it used to get pretty hot around the exhaust fan area and then it started to shut down on me if I used it too long. Then after doing that a few times it would not start again. I tried to fix it some but never could get the damn thing apart too well. Tons of clips and screws everywhere LOL. he told me that it might be a CMOS thermal overload setting tripped and that required removal and replacement of the Cmos battery
[20:19:39] <PetefromTn> and SOMETIMES that will fix it. If not it might be a power input problem with the ac or a motherboard. I am hoping it is something stupid and I can get it back under $100.00. He seemed to think it was a 60-70% chance..
[20:20:24] <PetefromTn> Honestly it is not that old. It has a dual core intel processor and windows 7 with 4 gigs ram onboard and a 17.3" monitor which I really enjoyed.
[20:21:32] <jdh> Acer wouldn't be a brand I woudl pick
[20:21:47] <PetefromTn> I knew someone would say that... LOL

[20:22:17] <PetefromTn> I have had several acers and all have been great computers. My wifes works great and she has had it quite awhile now.
[20:23:31] <PetefromTn> I just bought a real decent desktop for my design computer. It is an HP Pavillion that is about two years old. It literally looks brand new not a scratch on it.
[20:24:14] <PetefromTn> It has windows 7 and a 1tb HD with an AMD processor. It only has 4g ram in it tho but apparently you can install up to 8g which I will probably do...
[20:24:52] <PetefromTn> Got it with a nice 24 inch led monitor, keyboard, mouse, some nice speakers for $125.00....
[20:25:00] <PetefromTn> Not too shabby LOL.

[20:30:43] <Connor> I prefer Asus and Toshiba for laptops.
[20:31:04] <Connor> Custom build for Desktops, and SuperMicro for 1U Rackmount servers.
[20:31:32] <jdh> and Acer for?
[20:31:50] <Connor> I don't want to offend anyone.. :)
[20:32:01] <jdh> whatcha been up to?
[20:32:20] <Connor> Working my a$$ of, taking care of the wife..
[20:32:29] <PetefromTn> I like asus too..
[20:32:37] <PetefromTn> oh and kiss my ass LOL
[20:33:14] <Connor> She was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few months ago.. Getting hard for her to do anything.. she has maybe 1 or 2 days a week.. and if she does too much.. she pays for it for the next 3 or 4 days.
[20:33:31] <Connor> plus major bad headaches etc etc..
[20:33:58] <Connor> I just started a new project though.. Made a nice big chip pan and working on a enclosure for the 704..
[20:34:32] <skunkworks> Connor, I agree with you computer hardware opinion
[20:34:34] <Connor> jdh: What you been up too?
[20:34:44] <jdh> that suck...
[20:34:46] <Jymmm> Connor: Herbs be her friends =)
[20:35:02] <Connor> Jymmm: Yea.. well.. we don't live in CA. :)
[20:35:09] <Jymmm> Connor: So?
[20:35:26] <jdh> Connor: nothing interesting. Diving. My Lathe conversion is stalled due to lack of enthusiasm
[20:35:51] <Connor> jdh: Most of my stuff was stalled do to being overwhelmed and depressed. :(
[20:35:55] <Jymmm> Connor: they got her on Norco/hydrocodine?
[20:36:09] <jdh> If I could just get over the fact that I will have to mount the X ballscrew on the side I could be done in a day or so.
[20:37:12] <Connor> Jymmm: It's really a different kind of pain.. It's over-stimulation of Nerves.. She's on Symbolata right now.
[20:37:32] <Connor> jdh: Ahh.
[20:38:04] <Jymmm> Connor: is it effective?
[20:38:43] <Connor> Hard to say.. She's been on it for 3 months.. Doesn't look like it's helping much.. Dr Apt tomorrow to talk with him about it.
[20:39:17] <Jymmm> Connor: They'll go thru the list of off-label seizer meds too just fyi.

http://www.fusionmedicalmarijuana.com/listings/blue-afghani-strain/
[20:44:38] <Connor> OKay, so, advice for cutting 1/8" Lexan? I have 2 options.. Table saw.. Or score with heavy duty razor knife.
[20:44:57] <jdh> router?
[20:45:07] <skunkworks> Connor, acupuncture
[20:45:15] <Jymmm> Connor: score and snap can be a PITA. tablesaw
[20:45:20] <Connor> jdh: Option too.. but.. more of a PITA.
[20:45:22] <Jymmm> skunkworks: Not effective
[20:45:45] <skunkworks> Jymmm, unfortunate
[20:45:55] <Connor> Yea.. I was thinking table saw might be better.
[20:46:09] <Connor> For the 3mm PVC, scoring worked great.
[20:46:20] <Jymmm> skunkworks: needles are good for area pain, as they stimulate blood flow to help healing. But this is nerve system fucking with the body/brain
[20:46:23] <Connor> table saw would have been way overkill
[20:46:32] <skunkworks> Jymmm, yeck
[20:46:40] <PetefromTn> tablesaw...
[20:46:51] <Connor> yea.. and worse thing is, any other type of pain, is magnified..
[20:47:04] <Jymmm> skunkworks: There comes a point where your body is actually addidcted to the pain and goes into withdrawl sysmtoms
[20:47:29] <Connor> She had a herniated cervical disk that was causing pain in her left elbow.. was 10x worse than normal.
[20:48:11] <Jymmm> Connor: When she gets on Norco/Hydrocodone, there can actuall be more effect within 2-15 minutes: Blue Afghani, Blue Cheese, Blue Widow; Helps relax, Controls pain, tiny high.
[20:49:00] <Connor> and, it vicious cycle.. the more pain, less sleep, less quality of sleep.. more tiered, more pain.. repeat..
[20:49:05] <Jymmm> Connor: And I'm only talking one, maybe two hits.

[23:51:17] <jthornton> anahiem automation?
[23:51:34] <MacGalempsy> guys, I ran the halcmd show pins and the return came back blank. any ideas?
[23:51:38] <rob_h> pronet drive.. but they droped older drives now i belive
[23:52:28] <PCW> MacGalempsy: not running linuxcnc?
[23:52:32] <rob_h> how many Nm u need?
[23:52:59] <MacGalempsy> yes trying to
[23:53:12] <rob_h> 200v or 400v 3phase
[23:53:30] <PCW> linuxcnc needs to be running to run halcmd
[23:53:30] <jthornton> I'm not sure for this application, but low power similar to nema 23 stepper size
[23:53:40] <jthornton> 120v single phase is best
[23:54:28] <andypugh> PCW: The multimeter shows 0.3 to 19V swing on inputs 0 1 and 2 of the 7i76, but I am not seeing any change in the HAL pin values. I wonder what the problem might be?
[23:55:24] <PCW> possibly you have the encoder option enabled?
[23:55:32] <CaptHindsight> andypugh: what brand were those AC servos you found? ~nema23 2-4Nm
[23:55:37] -!- thomasli_ has quit [Client Quit]
[23:55:54] <rob_h> quite small servos then 2nm
[23:56:01] <rob_h> is that peak Nm or rated Nm
[23:56:13] <andypugh> Omron?
[23:56:51] <CaptHindsight> think so
[23:57:48] -!- realz has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[23:58:02] <jthornton> andypugh, was that a used servo or new?
[23:58:55] <andypugh> jthornton: Neither?
[23:59:23] <andypugh> If I am answering the question I think I am answering, then I just found the data sheet
[23:59:54] <jthornton> ah ok
