Back
[01:53:49] <jepler> time for that cvs downtime, be back asap
[02:20:21] <jepler> with any luck things are about put back together
[02:24:32] <jepler> ugh, not as much as I hoped. another reboot...
[02:29:54] <jepler> OK, I think CVS service is restored
[02:33:27] <SWPadnos> yay!
[02:33:28] <SWPadnos> ?
[02:33:34] <jepler> ??
[02:33:43] <SWPadnos> !
[03:04:17] <CIA-47> EMC: 03cmorley 07TRUNK * 10emc2/src/emc/usr_intf/pncconf/ (pncconf.py pncconf.glade):
[03:04:17] <CIA-47> EMC: major change to GUI to add selection of stepper info.
[03:04:17] <CIA-47> EMC: 15 halui commands can be specified in pncconf.
[03:04:17] <CIA-47> EMC: moved some stuff around to balance the pages better
[03:04:17] <CIA-47> EMC: pages need more beautification work but will wait until
[03:04:18] <CIA-47> EMC: they are less likely to change again.
[12:40:09] <BigJohnT> if you jog the x or y axis with the keyboard and jog the a axis with the mouse at the same time then release the mouse button it continues to run forever...
[12:40:48] <BigJohnT> opps release the arrow key first then the plus button
[12:41:13] <BigJohnT> axis 2.3.0
[12:43:02] <BigJohnT> sherline 4 axis config
[12:45:12] <BigJohnT> does the same thing in 2.2.8 but stops after a while
[12:59:16] <CIA-47> EMC: 03bigjohnt 07TRUNK * 10emc2/configs/Sherline4Axis/ (Sherline4Axis_inch.ini Sherline4Axis_mm.ini): add geometry = axyz so a axis will rotate
[13:00:19] <BigJohnT> there shouldn't be any problem adding that to 2.3 right?
[13:22:37] <SWPadnos> is axyz correct?
[13:22:57] <BigJohnT> got that from the 4 axis step config
[13:23:07] <SWPadnos> ok, whatever works I guess :)
[13:23:17] <BigJohnT> seem to work for me
[13:23:31] <SWPadnos> i tdoesn't seem that A would rotate everything, but maybe the AX order doesn't matter
[13:23:46] <SWPadnos> it should be XAYZ I bet
[13:23:52] <SWPadnos> but there's probably no difference
[13:24:15] <BigJohnT> dunno I just copied it from stepper-xyza config
[13:24:58] <SWPadnos> yeah, I'm sure it works
[13:25:00] <BigJohnT> I'll try xayz to see if it makes a difference
[13:25:28] <SWPadnos> conceptually though, A motion doesn't have any effect on X, so X should be before A
[13:25:53] <SWPadnos> then again, X doesn't have any effect on A either, so A should be before X
[13:26:11] <SWPadnos> but since they don't affect each other, it probably doesn't matter ;)
[13:33:46] <BigJohnT> yea I finally got that computer to boot up
[13:33:59] <SWPadnos> mut be a 286
[13:34:01] <SWPadnos> must
[13:34:11] <BigJohnT> gateway
[13:34:45] <BigJohnT> starts up then the screen goes black after the ubuntu progress bar
[13:37:33] <BigJohnT> doesn't seem to make any difference
[13:37:44] <SWPadnos> yay!
[13:38:33] <BigJohnT> so there should not be a problem commiting that change to 2.3 right?
[13:39:01] <SWPadnos> I finally figured that out, but the concept I started from is that you list the axes in the order in which they "support" each other
[13:39:27] <SWPadnos> hmm, no, that's not the right ooncept, is it
[13:39:51] <SWPadnos> time for me to make coffee. it's probably fine for 2.3, but I'm not the release manager for that
[13:40:11] <BigJohnT> ok
[13:40:29] <BigJohnT> I'll wait for jepler to wake up
[13:42:02] <SWPadnos> sounds like a plan
[14:07:09] <BigJohnT> hmmm now my dang network connection is broken on the gateway
[14:33:42] <jepler> what's the question?
[14:34:06] <jepler> oh, "add geometry = axyz so a axis will rotate"
[14:34:07] <jepler> ?
[14:34:10] <BigJohnT> yes
[14:34:32] <jepler> yes, if you've tested it it's OK to add
[14:34:48] <BigJohnT> yes I tested it both ways
[14:35:30] <jepler> both ways?
[14:35:43] <BigJohnT> axyz and xayz
[14:36:22] <BigJohnT> SWPadnos: thought it might make a difference but it didn't seem to make a difference
[14:37:04] <SWPadnos> I think if you have one rotary, then it doesn't matter which order the rotary and the axis it rotates about go in
[14:37:17] <BigJohnT> I copied it from the stepper-xyza config
[14:37:28] <SWPadnos> oh, I know it works, I'm justthinking about why :)
[14:37:38] <SWPadnos> gotta go - breakfast time
[14:37:44] <jepler> right, rotating A doesn't ever change X, so AXYZ XAYZ behave the same. So would AXZY and XAZY, I think
[14:42:27] <CIA-47> EMC: 03bigjohnt 07TRUNK * 10emc2/debian/changelog: config sherline4axis add geometry = axyz
[14:44:17] <CIA-47> EMC: 03bigjohnt 07v2_3_branch * 10emc2/configs/Sherline4Axis/ (Sherline4Axis_inch.ini Sherline4Axis_mm.ini): add geometry = axyz so a axis will rotate
[14:46:48] <CIA-47> EMC: 03bigjohnt 07v2_3_branch * 10emc2/debian/changelog: config sherline4axis add geometry = axyz
[14:47:21] <jepler> ooh extra points for writing a changelog entry
[14:48:14] <BigJohnT> :)
[14:48:31] <BigJohnT> I'm catching on when I don't forget
[14:49:11] <skunkworks> :)
[15:03:48] <BigJohnT> skunkworks: got roof?
[16:56:52] <skunkworks> not yet
[16:57:06] <skunkworks> facia right now.
[18:56:26] <christel> [Global Notice] Hi all, we're going to take services down for some quick maintenance -- they'll be gone a mere few minutes, this will affect chanserv, memoserv, nickserv and alis. Apologies for the inconvenience.
[19:19:51] <BigJohnT_> BigJohnT_ is now known as BigJohnT
[23:38:23] <CIA-47> EMC: 03cmorley 07TRUNK * 10emc2/src/emc/usr_intf/pncconf/ (pncconf.py pncconf.glade):
[23:38:23] <CIA-47> EMC: step timing data is now recorded in the INI file.
[23:38:23] <CIA-47> EMC: stepdriver selection works on the GUI
[23:38:23] <CIA-47> EMC: fix a couple problems with scaling for encoders and steppers
