[00:00:03] <roycroft> we're doubly metric :P
[00:00:43] <roycroft> so maybe in the 2070s folks will get with the plan
[00:00:47] <roycroft> third time's a charm, after all
[00:01:07] <andypugh> You probably would have been metric in 1813 except you were at war with us at the time, and the ship carrying the French chap with a metre standard was captured :-)
[00:01:23] <CaptHindsight> I thought M + any number was good for metric fasteners
[00:01:32] <roycroft> we started erecting road signs in km in the mid '70s
[00:01:34] <jdh> Mpi
[00:01:40] <roycroft> and then when ronald reagan was elected president they all came down
[00:01:48] <CaptHindsight> any whole number
[00:02:21] <jdh> M0?
[00:02:42] <roycroft> M00
[00:02:52] <roycroft> i haven't seen a metric cow lately

[00:07:22] <andypugh> That story about the captured metre standard was something I read in:
http://www.amazon.com/World-Balance-Historic-Absolute-Measurement/dp/0393072983/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1383869188&sr=8-2&keywords=World+in+the+Balance Which is a book I found very interesting.

[02:03:29] <somenewguy> here is a hellishly open ended question
[02:03:29] -!- wboykinm has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[02:03:34] <somenewguy> how do you guys maintain your gcode?
[02:03:46] <Tom_itx> what do you mean maintain?
[02:03:54] <Tom_itx> periodic oil change?
[02:03:55] <somenewguy> I mean when you code something, make it, tweak it, etc
[02:04:11] <somenewguy> how do you manage to keep track of "this code is perfect and functional"
[02:04:16] tjb11 is now known as tjb1
[02:04:18] <Tom_itx> i write mine in cad cam and tweak the gcode in a txt editor
[02:04:23] <somenewguy> "this code works but part correctness is unkown" and "work in progress"
[02:04:33] -!- tmcw has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[02:04:33] <Tom_itx> i don't keep bad code
[02:04:52] <Tom_itx> also put them in project directories

[02:05:07] -!- tmcw has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[02:05:07] <somenewguy> so when you are woring w/ code, you sit with it till its done, first session every time?

[02:05:21] <Tom_itx> usually
[02:05:43] <Tom_itx> unless i'm confident enough it's good then i'll just run it
[02:05:45] <somenewguy> I am tempted ot use git lol, but honestlly i have no clue if that will just waste time or help
[02:06:09] <Tom_itx> well if it's not proprietary

[02:06:14] <Tom_itx> some of mine was
[02:06:28] <somenewguy> my biggest issue is having 2 or 3 minor differences in parts that will look identical in code
[02:06:50] <somenewguy> I figured there was no good answer, and my system si getting much better thanks to using subroutines wherever possible
[02:07:07] <Tom_itx> someone here wrote a macro for such a situation
[02:07:16] <Tom_itx> where he could set variables for various features
[02:08:29] <Tom_itx> generally if i have more than one position, i use the part name with a _P1 _P2 etc to indicate the position
[02:08:33] <somenewguy> speaking of which, si there a walk thru or "for dummies" tutorial for ngcgui

[02:08:54] <somenewguy> as for keeping track of code sounds like we have the same ideas
[02:09:13] <somenewguy> I have a folder system that works pretty well, and arule about, when in doubt, nuke it and start over
[02:09:27] <somenewguy> helps that my parts are simple
[02:09:38] <Tom_itx> i usually go back to the model and fix it there
[02:09:54] <Tom_itx> unless i'm tweaking the code for ultimate speed and no air cuts

[02:25:46] <somenewguy> I desperatly want varicad to work out for me, but the work flow is like what cadkey was 10 years ago
[02:26:05] <somenewguy> so I am hellishly slow working in it, and it's only really parametric on 3d models, 2d models are lumpy and oldschool
[02:26:30] <Tom_itx> mine is old school but it's paid for and it's mine
[02:26:37] <Tom_itx> and it still does full 3d models
[02:26:41] <somenewguy> BUT it works nativly in linux so that is a big plus
[02:27:09] -!- patrickarlt has quit [Quit: Leaving...]
[02:27:13] <somenewguy> its either varicad or alibre at this point
[02:27:32] <somenewguy> which boils down to which is more important to me, version control in alibre, or linux for varicad
[02:27:44] <somenewguy> still a toss up, I have a demo version of each and am trying to log hours w/ em as fast as possible
[02:27:46] <Tom_itx> around here most machine shops use catia nowdays

[02:30:51] <Tom_itx> i haven't looked at it for years
[02:30:51] <somenewguy> so you use smartcam, that does cadcam?
[02:30:51] <Tom_itx> i didn't like it as well as smartcam at the time
[02:30:51] <Tom_itx> yes
[02:30:51] <somenewguy> how much is a seat of that?
[02:30:51] <Tom_itx> 20+ yrs ago i gave around 6 or 8k
[02:31:16] <Tom_itx> if you like solidworks get that with a cam addon
[02:31:31] <Tom_itx> i like it but i'm not good with it

[02:32:20] <somenewguy> currerntly the packages I am looking at are in the 1500 range, which is more justifiable for now
[02:32:30] <Tom_itx> if you're just a hobbyist it would be silly to get a commercial package
[02:32:50] <somenewguy> true
[02:32:54] <Tom_itx> if not, it's worth getting the right thing once
[02:33:07] <somenewguy> I havea rule where any expensive tool Ibuy needs to pay for itself, and currently I don't have a good project where a cad package would pay for itself
[02:33:14] <Tom_itx> all mine have
[02:33:21] <somenewguy> I'm hoping to come up w/ such a project
[02:33:28] <Tom_itx> it paid for itself in the first year
[02:33:50] <somenewguy> comparing my speed on the different packages, I can imagine what pro quality will save you in time when you are actually doing real work
[02:34:13] <Tom_itx> there's a learning curve to any of em
[02:34:15] <somenewguy> and there DEFFINATLY isn't a free CAD package out there that can even begin to be consideredgood enough
[02:34:42] <somenewguy> true, but my first 2 years of school I used solidworks, autocad invertor, and proE
[02:34:55] <jdh> draftsight. for some definition of 'free' and 'good'. 2d though
[02:35:13] <somenewguy> and I got much faster much quicker in any one of those 3 than I have so far in anything else I have tried, alibre and varicad included
[02:35:34] <Tom_itx> http://www.nccs.com/pages/nccs_home.html
[02:35:38] <Tom_itx> good for multi axis
[02:35:40] <Tom_itx> i hear
[02:35:46] <somenewguy> I've been meaning to try draftsight, sometimes 2d is all you need to quickly make something on the mill
[02:36:38] <Tom_itx> ngcgui will do most of that for you
[02:37:48] <somenewguy> true, if you have dimensions lying around it seems so far
[02:38:09] <somenewguy> unless I have yet to find the awesome tools for ngcgui, which is quite possible
[02:38:24] <somenewguy> it is hard to use unless you have a checklist infront of you "10 hole pattern here, slot here, etc etc"
[02:38:51] <somenewguy> I am a visual guy, I alwaysn eed an annotated sketch to try and verify my code
[02:39:24] <Tom_itx> http://gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/ngcgui/index.html
[02:40:15] <somenewguy> saw somethign on that site
[02:43:56] <somenewguy> o100 if [#<tool> NE #5400]
[02:43:56] <somenewguy> T#<tool> M6 G43
[02:43:56] <somenewguy> o100 endif
[02:43:56] <somenewguy> that is to check inside a subroutine that the proper tool is loaded, if not, load it
[02:43:56] <somenewguy> why would you need that? I thought I noticed the other day that if you call for a tool change on a tool that is already loaded it just skips over it

[05:05:44] <somenewguy> argh, I am getting an "unkown m code" error
[05:06:01] <somenewguy> and no heads up as to which line, and I can't find it in the qpocket.ngc I am using for hte first time
[05:08:02] <somenewguy> I did a search for M1, M2, etc all the way to M0, and only found M2s and M3s, those should be fine....
[05:08:07] <somenewguy> can unkown mcode mean osmething else?
[05:08:19] <KimK> somenewguy: Post what you're using on
http://pastebin.com/ (or your favorite place) and let us look at it.
[05:10:35] <somenewguy> ok here is the code
[05:10:37] <somenewguy> http://pastebin.com/a2CKUnRM
[05:10:41] <somenewguy> its like 95% comments
[05:10:45] <somenewguy> and here is the sub

[05:13:05] <somenewguy> sorry the only thign slower than this pc is my internet conection out here
[05:23:15] <KimK> I think you need an M2 after the end of your subroutine, after o<qpocket> endsub, after line 455. Try that first, maybe?

[05:41:39] <KimK> OK, but I think your subr needs an M2 at the end of it too, if you are calling it as a separate file.
[05:42:51] <KimK> If you include a subr in the calling file (it must appear first in the code), then you only need one M2 at the end.

[16:03:01] <PetefromTn> There is only the link on the left side with a ball mount.

[16:13:02] <jdh> yeah. I think they should make the time so it is always sunset at 9pm
[16:13:11] <JT_Shop> they are building 26 miles of mountain bike trails about 5 miles from my house, they have about 14 miles done
[16:13:20] <jdh> cool

[16:15:14] <jdh> they are working on a cross-city bike path, but it is currently unconnected and crosses some major roads.
[16:15:42] <jdh> Jymm: if I am on real roads I do. Not usually for inter-neighborhood ones though.
[16:17:19] <CaptHindsight> are they paved bike trails?
[16:17:57] <jdh> ours are (will be)
[16:18:44] <CaptHindsight> most here are paved withing 50 miles of the city, they connect with national trails that I hear are mostly gravel
[16:19:11] <JT_Shop> these trails are natural

[22:33:19] <cradek> andypugh: not that I had any access to. usenet and email were the thing.

[22:36:33] <cradek> I dialed with the rotary dial of course

[22:41:21] <Loetmichel> cradek: a friend had a 300 baud acoustic
[22:41:41] <Loetmichel> .., even with a "post" eagle on it ;-)
[22:44:56] <Jymmm> Loetmichel: cradek had (has?) a 300 baud acoustic
[22:53:04] <tjb1> Inventor crashing never gets old...
[23:01:07] <WalterN> anyone know where I could get a fanuc O/OO/O-Mate PDF?

[23:26:30] <Loetmichel> Jymmm: i have read it.
[23:27:38] <Loetmichel> btw: the modulation on 300 b/s was SO easy, i think i could build a working 300baud acoustic out of spare parts laying around here and a bit of software.
[23:28:03] <Loetmichel> even a 1200 baud, if i find some good speakers and mics ;-)
[23:29:25] <andypugh> This is quite a pile of cast iron chips:

[23:35:12] <Tom_itx> your pile?
[23:37:10] <andypugh> Yes
[23:38:02] <Tom_itx> what is it?
[23:38:07] <Tom_itx> gonna be...

[23:38:51] <Tom_itx> gave up on the brazing job?
[23:39:00] -!- geografa has quit [Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.]
[23:39:33] <andypugh> The brazed repair is functional, but hardly pretty. And it does actually get in the way.
[23:40:04] <Tom_itx> i bet it was more an irritation factor :)
[23:40:06] <andypugh> It makes getting the tool up to the chuck difficult.
[23:41:07] <Tom_itx> what did you use to program it?
[23:41:28] <andypugh> MeshCAM this time.
[23:41:48] <Tom_itx> i bet that's gonna take a while to cut
[23:42:09] <andypugh> It takes one evening per side.
[23:43:17] <andypugh> I am surprised that nobody has diagnosed my Y-axis as having a backlash problem yet, it's pretty evident from the machining pattern.
[23:44:03] <Tom_itx> i noticed
[23:44:47] <Tom_itx> are you cutting both directions on the body?
[23:45:24] <andypugh> I have a bigger, preloaded ballscrew. Special order from the manufacturer. When it arrived it has external ball transfer tubes not shown in the drawing. Which I suspect means it won't fit.
[23:45:50] <andypugh> Yeah, the CAM does a zigzag
[23:46:01] <andypugh> It also does a lot of air-cuts.
[23:46:59] <Tom_itx> using roughing cutters for the moment?
[23:47:03] <andypugh> Bit so far, they all do. I have not seen one yet that doesn't rapid to safe-height then feed to current height (when it should know that it can rapid to the previous cut level)
[23:48:14] <Tom_itx> you mean rapid to the next level as it cuts?
[23:48:20] <andypugh> That was done with a ball-end cutter.
[23:48:27] <Tom_itx> knowing the material is now gone..
[23:48:33] <andypugh> Yes.
[23:48:49] <Tom_itx> i would probably have to manually do that on mine
[23:49:09] <Tom_itx> i could connect the layers so it would be one continuous pass
[23:49:17] <Tom_itx> which i do quite a bit
[23:49:29] <Tom_itx> it doesn't go to z clear that way
[23:49:52] <andypugh> Like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU3jcyPze0U The previous cut started from the same point, it really doesn't have to go back to the start at the feed rate
[23:49:53] <Tecan> (GU3jcyPze0U) "Silly Air Cuts" by "andy pugh" is "Tech" - Length: 0:02:57
[23:49:56] <Tom_itx> but i would probably cut all one direction so in which case it would

[23:52:17] <Tom_itx> i don't know if newer cad cam do that or not but mine doesn't. i'd have to manually edit the layers then post it
[23:52:33] <Tom_itx> might be worth it on that
[23:53:03] <Tom_itx> it doesn't automatically do it
[23:55:22] <Tom_itx> i may have used a roughing cutter before the ball mill until i got a bit closer to the finished cut
[23:55:31] <Tom_itx> i'm not sure how much you had to remove there though
[23:55:52] <andypugh> I roughed with a 20mm then semi-finished with a ball-nose.
[23:56:27] <andypugh> It started as a 4" x 2" cylinder of continuously-cast iron
[23:56:38] <Tom_itx> we had some large open areas it proved quicker to drill down to near depth then clean it out instead of using a mill cutter
[23:57:03] <Tom_itx> with less warpage on aluminum
[23:57:34] <andypugh> If I was doing more than one I would make the same part at 102% out of model board and send it to the foundry.

[23:58:50] <andypugh> Working in cast-iron with HSS tooling you can only really work at 800rpm, and then that means feeds about 80m/min and long cycle times.
[23:59:14] <Tom_itx> much like Ti
[23:59:19] <andypugh> I could probably have knocked that out of Aluminium in an hour.
[23:59:43] <andypugh> Or 20 mins from HPPU.
