[00:09:43] <RyanS> I wonder if those drill Dr things are any good. They seem like an 'as seen on TV' product... The easy way out If you can't be bothered learning to sharpen (granted, it's probably hard to do accurately)
[00:12:07] <tjtr33> the small drills are tougher as you get older, holding your hand over the top to see the outline of the profile's shadow just dont work :(

[00:15:20] <RyanS> nice.. I think it would take years to build
[00:15:49] <RyanS> It is true. People spend more time modifying tools than building things
[00:16:39] <andypugh> You make it sound like you think that is a problem,
[00:19:32] <RyanS> It is interesting to do. I guess. I suppose you get the same amount of satisfaction in doing that
[00:21:42] <RyanS> ouch $410 for tool grinder castings. I guess you could machine them out of the solid stock?
[00:22:25] <tjtr33> or just a jig...

[00:52:40] <Tom_itx> andypugh what sserial cards do you have?
[00:54:54] <andypugh> I have several 8i20s, a 7i73, 7i69 and 7i71
[00:55:08] <andypugh> I only actually use the 8i20s
[00:55:18] <Tom_itx> if i use separate power for VIN i can set field power to 5v right?
[00:55:19] <andypugh> The others were for dev work.
[00:55:34] <Tom_itx> VIN just powerers the onboard smps right?
[00:55:44] <andypugh> I don't know. I suspect not, I think it needs to be at least 7V. Check the manual.
[00:55:49] <Tom_itx> 8v
[00:55:54] <Tom_itx> but that's for the smps
[00:56:00] <Tom_itx> 8 to 32
[00:56:04] <andypugh> You woul dneed to ask PCW>
[00:56:07] <Tom_itx> ok
[00:56:24] <andypugh> It is to do with the voltage theshold to be sensed as "true"
[00:56:35] <Tom_itx> field power is
[00:57:08] <Tom_itx> W1 connects field power to VFIELDB or EXTERNAL
[00:57:24] -!- The_Ball has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[00:57:44] <Tom_itx> if W1 is external i think i can use VFIELDB at 5v

[01:03:06] <andypugh> Thinking about it, I think I _have_ used 5V VField.
[01:03:49] <Tom_itx> i think you can, you just have to power the smps externally with 8-32v for the onboard logic
[01:08:43] <PCW> You can use 5V VField but Vin needs 8 or more

[01:20:41] <Tom_itx> PCW how do i check the firmware ver? where do i find the utilities to query it?
[01:21:16] <NickParker> if you're looking for mesa utils, support software on their anything IO page
[01:21:55] <NickParker> http://www.mesanet.com/software/parallel/5i25.zip <---- Download like with mesaflash and stuff
[01:21:59] <Tom_itx> i wasn't sure if it was bundled in the zip files
[01:22:17] <Tom_itx> for linux or windows?
[01:23:09] <Tom_itx> i'll figure it out... not quite that far along yet
[01:23:17] <NickParker> both
[01:24:12] <Tom_itx> i'm not using a 5i25 though
[01:24:53] <NickParker> http://www.mesanet.com/fpgacardinfo.html
[01:24:59] <NickParker> support software under the card you are using?
[01:25:09] <NickParker> but I mean mesaflash is the same for all of them.
[01:25:15] <NickParker> brb, let me see if mesaflash can read firmware.

[01:46:54] <Tom_L> you use the utilities connected to the cards so i'll try to use them in linux since they're all wired it
[01:46:56] <Tom_L> in*
[01:47:22] <Tom_L> thanks for the link
[01:49:55] <Tom_L> i need lcnc 2.6.0 to use the linuxcnc utilities?
[01:51:09] <micges> yes

[01:51:29] <Tom_L> are there standalone ones that will do the same job?
[01:51:56] <micges> hold on
[01:52:29] <micges> link I give is with windows utilties for sserial diagnose and flash update
[01:52:34] <Tom_L> i don't especially wanna build 2.6.0 from scratch
[01:52:52] <Tom_L> micges, yes... i was reading a readme inside the file
[01:52:59] <micges> lcnc 2.6.0 can only flash sserial remoted
[01:53:18] <micges> ok
[01:53:23] <Tom_L> how do you wire the card to a winbox?
[01:53:46] <Tom_L> hopefully i won't need to flash it
[01:53:57] <micges> same as always
[01:54:09] <Tom_L> first time
[01:54:15] <Tom_L> there isn't an 'always' yet
[01:54:24] <micges> ok
[01:55:08] <micges> new mesaflash will soon be available, it's 'all in one' diagnose/flashing tool for mesa boards
[01:55:36] <micges> then all diagnose will be much simpler
[01:55:39] <Tom_L> i'm in no big rush
[01:56:05] <Tom_L> for windows and linux i presume
[01:56:25] <micges> on windows pc you plug 5i25 and 7i77+sserial
[01:56:35] <Tom_L> is there a page explaining how to wire the board to a windows box?
[01:56:42] <micges> and all windows tools will have access to sserial board
[01:56:46] <Tom_L> see that's just it... i'm not using a 5i25
[01:57:02] <Tom_L> i made a bit file for a 7i47

[01:57:14] <Tom_L> 7i43 mb
[01:57:21] <Tom_L> wired and working
[01:57:43] <micges> that should work too
[01:57:48] <Tom_L> it would be easy with the 5i25
[01:58:07] <Tom_L> wired to a parallel port on the win box?
[01:58:27] <micges> 7i43 on epp with sserial connected
[01:58:42] <Tom_L> it will be wired to the 7i47
[01:58:47] <Tom_L> RS422
[01:58:54] <micges> yes but you must locate under linux what epp port is working
[01:58:58] <micges> first
[01:59:18] <Tom_L> so do all the updating on a linux box
[01:59:44] <micges> epp is on motherboard?
[01:59:52] <Tom_L> yes
[01:59:56] <Tom_L> it's an atom board
[02:00:00] <micges> ok so ignore above
[02:00:06] <micges> 0x378
[02:00:09] <Tom_L> yeah
[02:00:29] <Tom_L> i can't follow along yet though, it's not connected
[02:00:43] <Tom_L> i'm just rounding up the tools right now
[02:01:09] <micges> I dont have working epp under windows to try any tool
[02:01:36] <Tom_L> it may be easier done on linux anyway
[02:01:49] <Tom_L> this is an old pc so chances of it working are good
[02:02:51] <micges> next mesaflash will not have ability to flash sserial, but it will give you all needed information
[02:03:51] <micges> maybe instead of this you can check of 8v VIN and 5v FIELD is working?
[02:03:56] <micges> easier test
[02:04:26] <Tom_L> i need to chop up a cat5 cable first
[02:04:45] <Tom_L> fixing some gecko connectors atm
[02:04:50] <Tom_L> dealing me fits
[02:06:53] <Tom_L> looking at the windows utilities there's a serial.bat i'm looking at... do or can i wire the sserial directly to a serial port for these utilities?
[02:10:13] <micges> yes you must set setup mode on sserial board with jumper, but it will still be 422, you need converter 232 <-> 422
[02:11:11] <micges> I'm sure you will connect to board, but I'm not sure what tools will work in setup mode
[02:11:16] <Tom_L> if i go through the 7i43 -> 7i47 -> sserial i won't need to do that?
[02:11:21] <micges> you must and ask PCW
[02:11:25] <Tom_L> i plan to
[02:11:37] <Tom_L> just getting a heads up on it right now
[02:12:16] <Tom_L> working with an untested bit file too :)
[02:12:29] <Tom_L> it _should_ work
[02:13:11] <micges> ok then use 7i43 -> 7i47 -> sserial
[02:13:35] <Tom_L> probably the better choice right now

[02:27:05] <Tom_L> a bit hesitant here
[02:27:21] <micges> nope
[02:28:06] <micges> why do you want 2.6.0? you said you have 2.5.3 now
[02:28:24] <Tom_L> the readme indicated i needed it for the sserial update stuff
[02:29:56] <micges> yes but even if you will need to update you do this once and get back to 2.5.3 on machine
[02:30:23] <Tom_L> can i load both versions on a pc?
[02:30:44] <Tom_L> only have one linux box here

[03:49:07] <Tom_L> micges you need field power to test the sserial right?
[03:49:11] <Tom_L> or vin
[03:49:20] <micges> vin
[03:50:26] <PCW> you will get a fault if field power is out of range

[03:51:48] <Tom_L> k, wasn't sure but what one bank may be faulty
[03:51:52] <Tom_L> that row was marked
[03:52:35] <PCW> I managed to update the firmware on both before sending so they should be OK (normally they wont start if theres an I/O fault)
[03:52:49] <Tom_L> appreciate that

[03:53:19] <PCW> ( NCV7608s usually show as faulted if fried)
[03:54:44] <PCW> I think the 7I71 has output LEDs so you should be able to test easily
[03:55:21] <Tom_L> i may start with that one
[03:56:15] <PCW> in any case if working the pins should just show up in HAL (and the green led should blink)

[03:58:10] <Tom_L> stuff was made for 5i25 and the like
[03:58:39] <Tom_L> will the 7i43 need updated to support it?
[03:59:07] <PCW> Yes from a terminal and a
[03:59:09] <PCW> 7I44 or 7I52S or something would be a lot easier

[04:03:29] <atom1> how do i redirect the output to a file?
[04:03:31] <NickParker> ok so i've definitely found the outputs of my stepgen
[04:03:52] <NickParker> now to figure out how tablemode works and get them to actually do things

[04:06:55] <Tom_L> yeah i figured it out... thanks
[04:07:19] <Tom_L> hopefully it'll be a bigger file once the sserial is wired up
[04:08:43] <NickParker> can i just run a .hal file somehow?
[04:08:53] -!- WalterN_bed has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[04:09:03] <NickParker> like open halrun in terminal then just say 'execute each line of this .hal file"

[04:10:11] <micges> halcmd -f filename.hal
[04:10:18] <NickParker> cool ty
[04:11:13] <micges> use also -k so halcmd won't exit relatime after end of file
[04:12:26] <NickParker> ok
[04:19:41] <NickParker> I don't need to do the whole setting up base thread and servo thread and adding functions thing to test my hostmot2 right? all I want to do is set it to go 2 counts per second in velocity control mode
[04:20:19] <micges> you must
[04:20:37] <NickParker> oh ok
[04:20:42] <micges> this will work:
[04:21:03] <micges> loadrt threads name1-servo-thread period1=1000000
[04:21:21] <micges> *name1=
[04:21:58] <micges> this will create servo-thread function and you need to connect read, write and pet_watchdog functions from hostmot2

[04:38:57] <NickParker> start?
[04:39:05] <tjtr33> its a cmd
[04:39:06] <NickParker> just the word start on a line of it's own or?
[04:39:17] <tjtr33> yep at end
[04:39:46] <NickParker> ok halcmd -f -k that gets a seg fault
[04:40:04] <NickParker> could not open shared memory

[04:44:16] <NickParker> halrun at the start of the file, or halrun in cmd line then halcmd -f -k etc
[04:46:28] <micges> the second
[04:47:06] <tjtr33> i run hal scripts from cmd line, but in a rip, so i set the env, then enter the dir of the rip , then scripts/halrun -I -f /path/to/my/hal/myhal.hal

[04:52:56] <NickParker> ok halrun -I -f filename.hal seems to have at least executed
[04:53:14] <NickParker> it worked enough to complain that addf needs 2 args (i had forgotten to specify servo-thread)
[04:54:17] <NickParker> however now all my inputs are high, so either the watchdog bit (but I don't think I have a watchdog) or something else is going on
[04:54:28] <NickParker> oh wait no, watchdog got added when i did read/write huh.
[04:54:41] <NickParker> brb adding the pet thing
[04:56:54] <NickParker> It works!
[04:57:08] <NickParker> I've got the right pattern cycling on my 4 stepgen outputs.

[18:13:12] <Tom_itx> i wonder if it's because the mdi didn't call up the H word for the tool

https://www.facebook.com/stevie.storme/posts/771952839497616
[23:00:59] <Tom_itx> will sserial show up as sserial in halcmc show pin?
[23:01:12] <Tom_itx> or as extended io
[23:01:28] <andypugh> Ooh! Look! A bargain!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Boxford-cnc-lathe-single-phase-/321260586086
[23:01:32] <Tom_itx> (haven't pluged the card in yet)
[23:01:51] <Tom_itx> you need another lathe
[23:02:03] <andypugh> Tom_itx: It should show the cards and their pins.
[23:03:59] <Tom_itx> when i wire it, i wire the RXA to a TX0 and RXB to /TX0 right? same for the TXA & TXB?
[23:04:23] <andypugh> I don't actually know. I have never wired from scratch.
[23:04:33] <Tom_itx> you haven't?
[23:04:35] <andypugh> I have a 7i44 on my machine.
[23:04:49] <Tom_itx> oh does it have the cat5 connector?
[23:04:53] <andypugh> And the 7i77 came with a serial cable
[23:05:19] <andypugh> 7i44 is 50-pin to 8x RJ45
[23:05:20] <Tom_itx> worst case is it won't work
[23:05:43] <andypugh> I am pretty sure that the 7i76 manual tells you how to wire it.
[23:05:54] <Tom_itx> ok i gotta move some wires around to test it
[23:06:01] <Tom_itx> the 7i84 has the pinout
[23:06:25] <Tom_itx> i would assume ^^ to be the case
[23:07:15] <andypugh> Starting from the top (on the 7i76) the wiring is: Brown + Brown/White, orange-white, orange, green-white, green, Blue + Blue-white.
[23:07:28] <Tom_itx> yep same as the 84 manual
[23:07:34] <andypugh> And that's as PCW wired it :-)
[23:07:56] <Tom_itx> it gives the signals and wire colors
[23:08:10] <Tom_itx> just the 7i47 is labelled differently on the pairs
[23:08:23] <Tom_itx> TX0 /TX0 instead of TXA TXB
[23:08:36] <andypugh> I can't help but feel that an RJ socket would be more convenient, but then it can't easily be used as GPIO, I suppose.
[23:09:15] <Tom_itx> well i'm hooking this into an older card too
[23:09:50] <Tom_itx> where's all the fun if it were all done for me
[23:11:23] <Tom_itx> are they selling the lathe for scrap price?
[23:11:29] <Tom_itx> it looks pretty rough
[23:11:41] <andypugh> Well, it is at 99p so far.
[23:11:59] <andypugh> As he says, the 3kW motor and drive is worth something.
[23:12:07] <Tom_itx> you should investigate
[23:12:16] <andypugh> I would probably give £200 for it if it wasn't in Troon.

[23:20:00] <Tom_itx> i made up a cable as you show but wasn't sure how the signals would connect ot the 7i47
[23:20:35] <Tom_itx> i assumed RXA would go to TX0 and RXB would go to /TX0

[23:32:45] <NickParker> Hi all, so I'm working on my .hal file right now, and a bit unsure how to set up my spindle control. I have a 0-10V input for speed control which I'm controlling with a pwmggen on my 6i25 hooked up to a low pass filter. Then I have 3 5v inputs to the spindle controller.
[23:33:07] <NickParker> To start the spindle I pulse input A and B at the same time
[23:33:11] <NickParker> to stop I just pulse B
[23:33:17] <NickParker> and to start in reverse I pulse B and C
[23:33:38] <NickParker> So my question is, how do I make HAL output pulses like that?
[23:35:32] <andypugh> Good question :-)
[23:35:38] <NickParker> is there a way to make a signal pulse when on every edge of another signal?
[23:35:49] <NickParker> I could use that on motion.spindle-enable I think
[23:35:54] -!- Nick001 has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[23:35:54] <andypugh> Yes, there is an edge detector in HAL
[23:36:00] <Tom_itx> some type of flipflop
[23:36:29] <andypugh> http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/edge.9.html
[23:37:02] <Tom_itx> pcw_home i guess my question is: is RXA the positive signal and RXB the negative?
[23:37:19] <NickParker> andypugh: sweet that looks like what i want
[23:38:00] <andypugh> The full list is near the bottom of this page.
[23:38:01] <andypugh> http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/
[23:38:35] <andypugh> You might want to look at "lut5" which is remarkably configurable, if a little confusing.
[23:39:01] <NickParker> ooh that does look handy
