[00:02:54] <andypugh> NickParker: What you need to read is about raw mode here:
http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/hostmot2.9.html#Raw%20Mode with reference to this file here:
http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=hostmot2-firmware.git;a=blob;f=regmap;h=b3a2a77c27de0c71278dc910992efeddd7deb577;hb=HEAD
[00:03:42] <NickParker> thanks anypugh. i was just reading this
http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.5/html/drivers/hostmot2.html#_example_configurations and about to ask where to find out what a volunteer should do next.
[00:04:01] <andypugh> But the "right" fix would be to fiddle with this file here:
http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=linuxcnc.git;a=blob;f=src/hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/stepgen.c;h=0538d8a833be8d9f16a10d401f2934a5f01d5f6f;hb=2119397da5cd98be10452513251a00331d7d5743

[00:13:14] <NickParker> andypugh: I'm not sure what you mean by the "right" fix, but looking at the 1st file you linked, line 258 sounds like what i want. Make the stepgens cycle through a table of output combinations?
[00:14:39] <andypugh> By "right" I mean a fix that anyone else can use, ie add a way to tell the driver what sort of stepgen output you want.
[00:15:47] <NickParker> ah that may be a bit past me, since i only half know the language...
[00:16:20] <NickParker> and this file appears to have one comment which is "//FIXME" lol
[00:23:21] <andypugh> There are at least two "fixmes" and (in fairness) quite a lot of other comments.
[00:24:06] <RyanS> Is there a formula to calculate axial load in various milling operations? I've never come across one
[00:24:34] <NickParker> andypugh: ah you're right, ctrl+f "//" 78 results.
[00:25:41] <NickParker> I'll look at it a bit to see if the program structure springs out at me, but I'll probably want to move on to figuring out table driven stepgen from the other file.
[00:25:42] <andypugh> RyanS: I suspect it depends largely on imponderables.
[00:26:28] <andypugh> NickParker: The main function of stepgen.c is to convert values on HAL pins into values in registers.
[00:27:24] <RyanS> hmm but machine designers need to calculate axial load on the spindle bearings, surely?
[00:31:27] <RyanS> diameter of the cutter, feed rate, depth of cut I imagine would be major contributors
[00:31:56] -!- paideia has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[00:32:03] <archivist> the cutter can pull into a cut, not that simple
[00:36:28] <archivist> negative/positive rake, climb v conventional, blunt v sharp cutter and the material , wood v a work hardening metal
[00:38:14] <andypugh> lubrication
[00:39:29] <andypugh> The answer might be "it needs to be as strong as the Z axis"
[00:39:46] <RyanS> Right, so one would have to estimate the maximum loads likely to be encountered and desig the spindle accordingly. Choose appropriate bearings etc
[00:41:07] <archivist> it is why industrial machine are built like tanks, to resist and flexing and load likely in service
[00:41:33] -!- Thetawaves [Thetawaves!~Thetawave@114-68-237-24.gci.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:46:22] <RyanS> The reason I'm wondering is, I understand some of the reasons why you shouldn't mill with a drill press is; chuck cant take axial load, no drawbar, bearings not designed for axial, spindle taper too small (?) I've seen some milling of plastic and aluminium with a lighter cuts done.... The results were not and terrible and these were not large drill presses
[00:48:16] <andypugh> No, drills _can_ take axial load, that's their job. Radial load is the problem.
[00:49:57] <RyanS> oo but don't large drill bits have a lot of radial load? Or is that Z axis load (sorry I don't know the proper term)]
[00:51:09] <archivist> axial is along Z
[00:51:41] <RyanS> You mean perpendicular to Z?
[00:52:28] -!- wboykinm has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[00:52:32] <archivist> axial means through the cylinders axis (along Z)
[00:55:04] <RyanS> yeah you would encounter that when traversing the cutter on x right?
[00:56:34] <RyanS> oh i see, I'm confusing radial with axial
[00:58:14] <RyanS> axial is exactly what a drill press is designed, upwards pressure on the bearing
[01:03:49] <andypugh> This web page quites cutting force and much more.
http://zero-divide.net/index.php?page=fswizard
[01:04:38] <andypugh> I have used it a few times, and it seems functional.
[01:05:11] <RyanS> cool thanks

[01:08:44] <RyanS> Haven't taken delivery but I'm converting a 1.5kw three-phase drill press, mt4, seems quite rigid . I wonder if it would be safe (and not damage the bearings) with a Collet chuck, compound table to take conservative cuts in plastic, aluminium, brass?
[01:09:23] <RyanS> mt4 is ridiculous, but that's what it came with
[01:10:47] <archivist> just not designed for side cutting so you are likely to get some poor finish and broken tools, no climb milling should ever be done on it
[01:15:06] <RyanS> But conventional will be somewhat okay. I was just going to do some quick and dirty slots in plastic and aluminium, not too fussed about the finish
[01:15:42] <archivist> remember a slot has climb as well as conventional
[01:16:41] <RyanS> Because it's engaging both sides of the cutter?
[01:16:52] <archivist> yes
[01:17:03] <RyanS> So you better off sticking to pockets and edges
[01:18:02] <archivist> I would have said get a mill/drill machine if you had mentioned your milling use
[01:20:15] <archivist> fleabay 321256205158 I used to have a version 20 years ago, glad I got rid
[01:21:04] <RyanS> It's only something for a bit of practice, i needed something with more Z clearance that the benchtop drill press.. I intend to get a milling machine just not yet
[01:21:15] -!- asdfasd has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[01:22:10] <archivist> while they can mill they are just not convenient to use as mills and mine was not square either
[01:22:22] <andypugh> Whereas they are not great machine tools, i do feel that every home should have one.
[01:22:49] <archivist> have/had, so you know what not to get :)
[01:23:12] <andypugh> I like the way that you can't open the belt guard without moving to the top of travel.
[01:23:14] <archivist> was a reasonable drill actually
[01:23:58] <RyanS> yeah, plus the existing bench drill had ran out, getting a bit noisy, etc
[01:23:58] <archivist> you lose any position changing height (round column)
[01:25:24] <RyanS> yeah so far . Most things I've worked on have just been turning and drilling shit
[01:26:34] <andypugh> I don't think you need machine tools for that.
[01:26:38] <archivist> oh and the effort clamping the column will screw your settings
[01:27:26] <RyanS> You need a lathe for turning shite
[01:29:22] <RyanS> Those RF 30 round column mills don't seem practical either
[01:30:38] <andypugh> Some have a keyway, so basically do work
[01:31:34] <andypugh> And there have been really good round-column things:
http://www.lathes.co.uk/oerlikon/
[01:31:42] <andypugh> (Bigger than it looks)
[01:31:59] <RyanS> What's the deal with a drawbar on gear head drilling machines, is that to facilitate the use of a boring head?
[01:32:50] <archivist> vibration and digging in causes the taper to loosen, best to have a drawbar
[01:32:53] <andypugh> Or any other non-axial tool
[01:34:15] <RyanS> And I guess you are going to get vibration using the size of drill bits they do on those machines
[01:34:16] <archivist> and on large work the load is just too high for the taper and it can slip if not pulled in tight enough
[01:34:28] <RyanS> Makes sense
[01:35:22] <archivist> an then if it does slip ot may sieze and groove the sleeve or drill, a pain to repair
[01:36:50] <RyanS> I saw of those gearhead machines the other day... massive. Photos don't do justice
[01:41:54] <andypugh> On eBay: "Engineers Cube 18 x 10 x 12" Not a pedant's cube, that's for sure.
[01:42:31] <archivist> I used a cube to raise the mills column :)
[01:43:03] <Tom_itx> is that like a toumbstone?
[01:43:55] <andypugh> We have so many cubes at work that they use them for holding down pergolas during events, then leave them out in the weather. It bothers me.

[01:47:11] <archivist> its dead, about 17
[01:47:36] <archivist> the PC was in it too
[01:47:50] <RyanS> engineers cube is that 123 block?
[01:48:00] <Jymmm> archivist: When it worked, was it easy enough to use , or seamed a tad small at times?
[01:48:30] <Jymmm> ...as a touch screen that is.
[01:48:31] <archivist> I never got the touch part working in linux
[01:48:36] <Jymmm> ah, ok
[01:49:08] <andypugh> I have a 17" and it seems a bit big. But I wouldn't want any fewer pixels. I would say that 15" and 1200x1024 was probably ideal if they exist.
[01:49:46] <Jymmm> andypugh: 15" touch at that resolution seems tiny to me.
[01:50:09] <Jymmm> andypugh: liek you would be fighting which control you are trying to touch
[01:50:28] <andypugh> You just have more pixels per control?
[01:50:37] <Jymmm> but smaller controls
[01:50:46] <andypugh> Why smaller?
[01:51:00] <Jymmm> higher res
[01:51:12] <Jymmm> controls get smaller on screen the hgher res you go
[01:51:20] <Jymmm> you are trying to fit more in the same space.
[01:51:21] <andypugh> Touchy rakes up the whole screen, regardless of resolution. The buttons just get more pixels each

[01:54:42] <roycroft> how many buttons do you need on a screen anyway?

[01:56:36] <andypugh> Night all

[01:58:20] <roycroft> perhaps not very legibly
[01:58:34] <roycroft> but i also doubt i need 10% of that number to operate a mill
[01:58:46] <roycroft> and i could definitely label 31 buttons legibly on a 15" screen
[01:58:53] <Jymmm> and how much tolerance is there on where you have to touch one versus it's neghbors?
[01:59:21] <Jymmm> how much seperation is there in between buttons?
[01:59:45] <roycroft> if the buttons only require 10% of the total screen real estate, there can be plenty of separation
[01:59:50] <RyanS> Is that likeone button to cover each g-code command? :p
[02:00:22] <Jymmm> where does 10% of the screen come into play for 308 buttons?

[02:21:31] -!- c-bob|| has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
[02:22:52] <NickParker> +cradek: I assume you mean an external card not the 6i25? I'd kind of like to get this going since I have the next 8 days off. I've got a DAC in the mill, but it's a pretty stupid one in that it takes hex input.
[02:23:37] <NickParker> er, not exactly hex. it takes 2 4 bit binary numbers, one representing the 10s digit and the other the ones digit to represent numbers 0-99. stupid i know but that's what's in the original electronics..
[02:25:12] <cradek> hmm, from the mesa site: The 7I76 is a step/dir oriented breakout with 5 axis of buffered step/dir outputs, one spindle encoder input, one isolated 0-10V analog spindle speed plus isolated direction and enable outputs, one RS-422 expansion port, 32 isolated 5-32V inputs and 16 isolated 5-32V 300 mA outputs.
[02:25:49] <cradek> is that useful for you? depends what the rest of your machine is I guess.
[02:26:45] <NickParker> the 010V analog is the only part of that i would really need. my drivers don't take step/dir input.
[02:27:02] <cradek> what interface are your axis drives?
[02:27:34] <NickParker> phase inputs for 4 phase motors. so 4 pins per motor and to do half step drive i have to cycle through 1000 1100 0100 0110 0010 etc
[02:27:53] <cradek> ah
[02:28:08] <cradek> does the mesa stepgen do that?
[02:28:22] <NickParker> pending more money I'll probably switch over to just using bipolar drives, because andypugh tells me i'll double my torque with no downsides...
[02:28:35] <NickParker> nope. I'm currently reading the code to find out how to make it do it.

[02:29:46] <cradek> the software stepgen does all those kinds of patterns, but is of course slower
[02:29:47] <NickParker> oh wait definitely certain what am i saying
[02:30:04] <NickParker> yep. if I don't figure out mesa firmware tonight i'm just doing software stepgen until i can afford bipolars

[13:18:44] <ries> hey guys, should programming G64 p0.1 work if you have a rotary axis? yesterday I was using that butit almost felt like I couldn't make it to work
[13:19:41] -!- syyl- [syyl-!~syyl@p4FD139DD.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #linuxcnc
[13:23:00] <jthornton> it doesn't seem logical that G64 Pn would work with a rotary as the control has no idea where the tool is in relation to the rotary
[13:23:21] -!- syyl-- has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
[13:24:38] <jthornton> are you doing coordinated moves with a rotary?
[13:27:14] -!- FreezingCold has quit [Read error: Operation timed out]
[13:29:09] <ries> jthornton: Yes I do... I understand what you are saying. yesterday I tried to do something that took far longer then expected
[13:30:06] <ries> I just don't want my machine get to a full stop, I guess this is then up to the cam software?
[13:30:28] <jthornton> If I understand correctly you should be using G93 with a rotary
[13:32:31] <ries> jthornton: let me correct myself, I think it's called a 'indexer'
[13:32:54] <ries> I have moves like this : G1 Z14.9954 A1.4229 F1000.0 G1 Z14.9997 A2.8458 F1000.0 etc...
[13:33:07] <archivist> that is a rotary
[13:33:12] <jthornton> yea
[13:33:27] <ries> Ooo, ok :) sorry about that...
[13:33:41] <jthornton> anytime you have moves with both linear and rotary you should use G93
[13:33:53] -!- Komzpa has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[13:34:21] <jthornton> and if your cam is putting a F word on each line you may be using G93
[13:34:44] <ries> The produced GCode doesn't contain G93
[13:35:43] <archivist> tell the cam to use inverse time mode when the rotary is in use
[13:38:36] <ries> archivist: I think I have to ask the forum about this, currently I don't see such option
[13:40:43] -!- skunkworks has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
[13:50:32] <ries> So, when programming G93, you can use G64 ?
[13:52:40] <jthornton> I don't know
[13:54:14] <archivist> linuxcnc does not know the radius with a rotary so it makes little sense to me

[15:09:13] <CaptHindsight> lautriv: what are you using to drive the IACV motor?
[15:10:51] <lautriv> CaptHindsight, driver is a homebrew parport/L297 combo, manual move works but i'm the one for electronics and not coding G, also used to EMC years ago ;)
[15:14:09] <CaptHindsight> lautriv: just wondering since I was just working on an Nissan IACV
[15:15:03] <lautriv> CaptHindsight, maybe that part is very similar, 4 pins ?
[15:16:03] <CaptHindsight> lautriv: yes, but then I found a new complete unit for $45
[15:16:55] <lautriv> CaptHindsight, i have no problem to buy another except the time it needs to get it and actually it is not even sure that is the problem, reson why i test it.
[15:18:34] <kengu> lautriv: yes
[15:20:07] <lautriv> kengu, was crap on canonical, works fine on debian, except it won't let me configure to install ( run in place only )
[15:20:29] <CaptHindsight> for me shipping time takes about the same time as dissembling everything to reach it :) I think the engineers wanted to punish anyone that tries to fix these

[16:35:03] <Quintox> hello, what do you use for creating G-Codes?
[16:35:34] <kengu> cambam, inkscape+gcodetools, skeinforge
[16:36:06] <Quintox> is one for free?
[16:36:32] <kengu> last two more
[16:36:35] <Tom_itx> depends how complex you're looking for
[16:36:45] <Tom_itx> full 3d not so much
[16:36:55] <Tom_itx> 2.5d you can find for free
[16:37:12] <Tom_itx> however you generally get what you pay for
[16:37:13] <kengu> cambam is cheapish and pretty nice
[16:37:25] <kengu> pycam is free?
[16:37:42] <Quintox> 2.5D
[16:37:56] <Quintox> ok i will try thank you

[16:38:49] <andypugh> Hai
[16:38:51] <archivist> Quintox, inside rear of skull is free
[16:39:15] <Tom_itx> archivist, too high a learning curve for most
[16:39:47] <archivist> cam often does not use the full power of the gcode though
[16:39:49] <Quintox> i will try skeinforge first do i use linux for it or win?
[16:40:13] <andypugh> It doesn't matter, G-code is G-cde
[16:40:14] <Tom_itx> yeah i'll agree with that
[16:40:43] <andypugh> (You might want to be a bit careful about the line-end encoding if using Windows)
[16:41:22] <andypugh> I still think that using G-code to drive extruders is crazy.
[16:41:55] <andypugh> But it is hard to imagine any alternative gaining traction
[16:42:20] <andypugh> (sending polygons and fill patterns would be more sensible)

[20:53:32] <mrsun_> ough cutting plywood wasnt fun at all ... first of all its not freakin flat! ever! :/
[20:53:38] <mrsun_> and the fibers ... oh the stupid fibers :P
[20:53:54] <kengu> sounds familiar
[20:53:56] <kengu> sort of
[20:54:29] <mrsun_> any tips on how to cut it efficiently ? :)
[20:54:30] <archivist> plenty blood released?
[20:55:14] <Tom_itx> it's the splinters under the fingernails i hate
[20:55:59] <JT_Shop> Tom_itx, thanks
[20:56:05] <JT_Shop> I think they are fixed now
[20:56:13] <Tom_itx> JT_Shop i didn't notice any more
[20:58:02] <JT_Shop> thanks for checking them
[20:58:19] <mrsun_> what cutter type is best for plywood ? anyone know ?
[20:58:25] <mrsun_> straight flute? ordenary ?
[20:58:29] <mrsun_> number of flutes etc =)
[20:58:53] <Tom_itx> most router bits i've seen are 2 flute
[20:58:54] <JT_Shop> onsrud
[20:59:10] <Tom_itx> with a different cutter angle than metal
[21:00:15] -!- terabyte- has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
[21:00:20] <archivist> and the cutter is fast enough to shatter the wood into small particles rather than cut
[21:01:03] <mrsun_> archivist, huh ? :)
[21:01:38] <archivist> one of the reasons wood routers are high rpm
[21:02:06] <mrsun_> well got a router as spindle so i guess it should be fast enough =)
[21:04:51] <Loetmichel> mrsun_: but LOUD ;)
[21:06:55] <mrsun_> the spindle .. yes :P
[21:06:57] <mrsun_> loud as hell

[21:42:54] <mrsun_> wood routing
[21:43:29] <mrsun_> but seem em and looks interesting, problem is like usual im a swede tho .. and stuff is next to impossible to find in this country :P
[21:44:22] <andypugh> I though they were made in Sweden?
[21:44:43] <mrsun_> well tihs country is a bit strange if ind it... internet is not yet accepted to sell from it seems :P
[21:44:56] <mrsun_> as most companies requires you to make direct contact with them :P
[21:45:06] <kengu> it is made of wood...
[21:45:21] <kengu> but yeah. ebay is a good friend on these

[21:59:50] <mrsun_> solid carbide
[21:59:57] <mrsun_> i do not use them now :P
[22:00:08] <Jymmm> mrsun_what material are you CUTTING?
[22:00:24] <Jymmm> insrud makes LOTS of bits

[22:00:36] <mrsun_> atm ive tried with carbide straight flute bits .. bad results in plywood and up spiral i guess hss 3 flute end mill .. not good results there either
[22:00:41] <mrsun_> Jymmm, plywood atm
[22:00:56] <mrsun_> mdf a straight flute works fine for ive found, the plywood is a pita tho :/
[22:01:38] <Jymmm> http://www.amazon.com/CMT-192-000-02-Carbide-Downcut-Spiral/dp/B000P4LO4C
[22:02:10] <Jymmm> downcut will save the surface, but pack the cuts.
[22:02:31] <mrsun_> well both sides are equaly important ...
[22:02:33] <Jymmm> upcut will help save the bottom, and NOT pack the cuts.
[22:02:40] <mrsun_> so i guess compresion bits is the thing to go :/
[22:03:02] <Jymmm> and DONT use FREUD bits = crap
[22:03:32] <Jymmm> Here ya go...
http://www.amazon.com/CMT-191-008-11-Carbide-Spiral-Diameter/dp/B000P4HOEQ/ref=pd_cp_hi_0
[22:03:55] <ries> mrsun_: I don't use them myself, bit I hear from some other folks that they keep the plywood down. I use myself just straight cutters for plywood. I don't have good experience with spiral's and plywood
[22:04:00] <Jymmm> It's plywood, you ARE going to get spintering no matter what
[22:04:41] <mrsun_> ries, downcut bits keeps it down or what?
[22:05:01] <ries> mrsun_: I hear... never tried it myself...
[22:05:31] <mrsun_> vacuum table would be neato but cant afford the pumps nessecery =)
[22:05:32] <ries> Most what I use is a 6mm ball, 3 flute spiral and my almighty 8mm straight.
[22:05:54] <mrsun_> or .. a shop vac might be enough but my experiments says its not :P
[22:05:57] <ries> mrsun_: O simetimes put something of a weight at places where I don't have to cut..
[22:06:12] <ries> by carefull with a shopvac, the need th air to cool
[22:06:28] <mrsun_> ries, seperate cooling shopvac
[22:06:37] <mrsun_> that does not use the air they suck to cool themselfs
[22:06:57] <ries> that might work then... I never tired vacuum on my table..
[22:08:25] <mrsun_> but will have to do with the straight flutes i have for now tho cutting some stuff as i need to make money to be able to buy more and better bits =)
[22:09:20] <ries> mrsun_: I bought some bit's from china, they where not that bad... I still use them and they don't seem to dull fast. Best thing is, they are cheap... and if you are like my, you will break a bit or two in the beginning
[22:11:11] -!- kiw has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
[22:12:12] <mrsun_> breaking stuff? .. nah thats not me ;)
[22:13:43] <kengu> uu.. never
[22:14:00] <kengu> but for some reason I am out of 6mm bits
[22:19:25] <ries> I never broke anything in over a year
[22:19:49] <ries> But in the first few weeks after I finnished the router... BAM... damned... bit broke aaaghhh
[22:21:52] <Jymmm> I like CMT bits for wood, Onsrud for plastics.
[22:23:12] <kengu> i like cheap ones to break away

[22:26:21] <ries> mrsun_: that will come... make sure you always have them around, nothing worse then missing you vaforite bit!
[22:27:43] <Jymmm> mrsun_: CMT produced consistant quality in the finished material. FREUD gave poor quality in finished material, dulled quickly, and broke easily. I'll buy china specialty one-off bits, but that's abut it.
[22:28:01] <Jymmm> mrsun_: Cost more in replacing ruined raw materials than quality bits.
[22:30:16] <mrsun_> yeah i want quality bits but hard to know what brands, and most brands you get recommended in here is US brands etc =) found a brand named "Cobolt" in sweden might test that out =)
[22:30:33] <mrsun_> and aparently the ones owning that brand also sells stuff from onsrud
[22:30:33] <Jymmm> mrsun_: where you at?
[22:30:37] <mrsun_> sweden
[22:31:03] <mrsun_> cobalt

[22:33:58] <mrsun_> ough
[22:34:03] <mrsun_> 920sek for one freakin router bit
