[14:57:24] <mrsun> hmm one of these magnetic tables, how far out can pieces be and still be sucked down hard? :)
[14:57:34] <mrsun> i need to offset a piece like 1cm off the actual table by parallels
[15:07:44] <cradek> I believe they make magnetic parallels that conduct the force
[15:08:09] <mrsun> oh that sucks, cause the place that i can do it at doesnt have fancy stuff like that =)
[15:08:20] <Loetmichel> that should do any parllel which is made of steel
[15:09:04] <Loetmichel> just place the paralles so that they only catch ONE bar of mangets
[15:09:06] <mrsun> i was thinking of laying the parallels, putting the table on and set a couple of blocks at the ends of the table also to make it not able to move sideways =)
[15:09:23] <mrsun> Loetmichel, and how the heck do you do that? :P
[15:09:40] <Loetmichel> you can see the alternating brass/steel sections?
[15:09:56] <Loetmichel> just get the parallels on only one steel section
[15:10:06] <Loetmichel> like 10 by 10mm parallels
[15:10:09] <mrsun> Loetmichel, ye, but tehy go all zig zaggy over the wrong way =)
[15:10:19] <Loetmichel> hmm?
[15:10:21] <mrsun> |||||| like that
[15:10:25] <mrsun> not =====
[15:10:27] <mrsun> like that =)
[15:11:09] <mrsun> and the table moves < |||||| > ... and the thing im grinding is not able to set the other way around, it has to be by the length of the magnetic table =)
[15:11:09] <Loetmichel> so place the parallels also |.|.| and so on
[15:11:45] <mrsun> Loetmichel, cant as the rising up has to be under the ways of the part im grinding ...
[15:12:01] <mrsun> its a table for a mini mill and i want the table to be parallel to the sliding surfaces
[15:12:04] <Loetmichel> just test it with a plastic hammer if you got the right magnet rails ;-)
[15:13:04] <Loetmichel> ah, you try to grind a part which has only ========================== on the bottom?
[15:13:48] <Loetmichel> should STILL work if you place enough parallels ||||||||| under it.
[15:13:52] <mrsun> its the top side of the table that is going to be ground
[15:14:08] <Loetmichel> just dont "short circuit" 2 adjacent magnet rails
[15:14:14] <mrsun> and the sliding surface is a bit stupid placed on the mill
[15:14:29] <Loetmichel> then the holding force on top of the parallels will disappear
[15:14:43] -!-
vladimirek has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[15:14:49] <mrsun> oh it goes throught the metal then if i get it as it should? :)
[15:15:29] <Loetmichel> steel tends to "bundle" magnetic Field lines
[15:16:07] <Loetmichel> so if you place a parallel on ONE magnet rail it bundles the force field upwards
[15:17:06] <Loetmichel> if you place it on two opposite "poled" magnetic rails it will "short" them and on the top of the parallel will be near zero field lines
[15:17:59] <mrsun> hmm ok that sucks
[15:18:12] <mrsun> i guess i could do it with a whole bunch of little tiny parallels :P
[15:18:24] <mrsun> tho then i would have to grind little tiny parallels first :P
[15:18:31] <Loetmichel> yes
[15:19:38] -!-
mhaberler has quit [Quit: mhaberler]
[15:20:09] <mrsun> the table im clamping to looks like this on the top
http://www.uptechengineering.com/tables31.gif and i have to place the part down over all those strips
[15:22:16] <mrsun> http://www.magnetic-lifter.com/upfile/201177152346.jpg there, that looks almost identical =)
[15:23:59] <Loetmichel> thats the reason why i use much double sided tape for workpiece clamping on my mill....
[15:24:11] <Loetmichel> ... and of course because aluminium/plastic magnets are still not invented ;-)
[15:27:14] <Mjolinor> you can sort of get aluminium magnets
[15:27:33] <Mjolinor> but they wont hold thigns down, only repel each other
[15:27:38] <Loetmichel> hihi
[15:27:55] <Loetmichel> with AC power, jes, could work
[15:28:16] <Mjolinor> they use it to sort aluminium from general rubbish in recycling plants I think
[15:28:17] <Loetmichel> circulating current in the aluminium ;-)

[16:41:45] <skunkworks> another thing to play with
[16:48:56] <mrsun> hmm, to get the resolution of a 24 bit adc with 8 bit adcs, wouldnt that be possible using 3 8 bit adcs and some voltage dividers
[16:49:12] <mrsun> no im stupid :P
[16:49:36] <mrsun> was thinking that the first one gets 0 - 1V 2nd gets 1 - 2V 3d gets 2 - 3V :P
[16:50:10] <Mjolinor> yes it would be possible
[16:50:38] <Mjolinor> vref would take some setting though :)
[16:51:15] <mrsun> but would it be a 24 bit adc? :P
[16:52:01] <Mjolinor> thinking
[16:52:05] <Mjolinor> should be possible :)
[16:52:09] <mrsun> 255 + 255 + 255 != like a couple of million :P
[16:53:28] <Mjolinor> you would need more than voltage dividers
[16:54:18] <Mjolinor> you waould have to take an 8 bit of the whole thing then use the output fmor that as an offset for the next 8 bits then use the output of that as an offset for the next
[16:54:25] <Mjolinor> that should give oyu 24 bits I think
[16:54:36] <Mjolinor> seems a tad over kill when you can buy a 24 bit so easily :)
[16:55:51] <mrsun> Mjolinor, yes but 24bit fast adcs is expensive :P
[16:56:23] <Mjolinor> true but by the time you had gated what you needed with the 8 bits I think it would be too slow anyway
[16:56:49] <mrsun> ye :P
[16:57:07] <Mjolinor> intereestign problem though that
[16:57:15] <Mjolinor> be a good one for an exam paper
[16:59:18] <mrsun> if it taxes 3x the time, a 24bit adc at 4Msps cost about 40$, 3x 8bit 15 Msps cost 10.2 usd :P
[17:00:20] <Mjolinor> but you need a lot more circuitry too
[17:01:23] <mrsun> ye :P
[17:01:42] <Mjolinor> actually though you shouldn't
[17:02:19] <Mjolinor> jus take the output of the first and use it as an offset on the second and the second will have a much lower Vref so it shoudl all work pretty well I think
[17:03:04] <mrsun> but one would have to dac the output also :P
[17:03:25] <Mjolinor> well you didnt mention that :)
[17:03:37] <Mjolinor> that si a lot easier though anyway
[17:03:44] <mrsun> Mjolinor, i ment to use it as a offset for another vref
[17:04:00] -!-
mikegg has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[17:04:01] <Mjolinor> if you think of it in terms of 3 X 1 bit a / d it is easier to imagine how to do it
[17:04:11] <Mjolinor> ok
[17:04:12] <Mjolinor> yes
[17:04:14] <Mjolinor> your right
[17:04:56] <mrsun> but wouldnt it all fall if you were near the top of the measuring?
[17:05:02] <Mjolinor> there is a way without
[17:05:09] <Mjolinor> if the A/D was circular
[17:05:14] <mrsun> say 0 - 1V and the first adc gets 1V DAC that to the next for vref there, that one also got 1V
[17:05:37] <Mjolinor> eg is you have a one bit a/d that has a threshold of 0.5 votls
[17:05:53] <Mjolinor> above that its a1 below it is 0
[17:06:08] <Mjolinor> so if the voltage is 0.6 the output will be a 1
[17:06:09] -!-
Gromits [
[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[17:06:23] <Mjolinor> the next one needs to be circular and overflwo back to 0 with no carry
[17:06:42] <Mjolinor> so it will go 0 1 0 so the output will be 0
[17:06:52] <Mjolinor> with a 0.25 vref that is
[17:06:54] <Mjolinor> :)
[17:07:01] <Mjolinor> not sure you scould find somethign to do that
[17:07:41] <Gromits> ok, that's better. hardwired ethernet. flaky wifi, sheesh...

[17:37:08] <Gromits> When I try to run "glade hw.ui" it comes up, but I get a pile of warnings and critical messages:
http://pastebin.com/ukfus6F8 Am I missing something or is this normal?
[17:38:16] <cradek> the last part maybe you can fix by installing the libgtksourceview package
[17:38:53] <cradek> but unfortunately, in general gtk apps like to spew nonsense that can usually be ignored :-/
[17:40:04] <Gromits> do I just need to run "apt-get install libgtksourceview" or do I need a version number on it like: libgtksourceview2.0 ?
[17:40:17] <cradek> I'm not sure
[17:40:33] <bill20r3> "apt-cache search libgtksourceview"
[17:40:34] <cradek> perhaps libgtksourceview2.0-dev
[17:40:38] <bill20r3> and see what the package name is.
[17:40:50] <cradek> yes, I see three
[17:40:55] <cradek> I bet installing -dev will do all three
[17:41:29] <cradek> there are also packages related to vte, which is something to do with your other CRITICAL message
[17:42:51] <Jymmm> Are you guys aware of a "Works Bomb" by chance?
[17:43:21] <Gromits> cool, libgtksourceview2.0-dev got rid of about half the messages....now vte.... and thanks!
[17:44:54] <Jymmm> "The Works" is a toilet bowl cleaner that contains hydrochloric acid. So Hydrochloric Acid + Aluminium Foil = BOMB
[17:45:22] <Jymmm> I guess kids are seeing these videos and tossing in mailboxes, front yards, etc.
[17:45:34] <bill20r3> you mean sealed up in something airtight?
[17:45:39] <bill20r3> like a dry-ice 'bomb' ?
[17:45:41] <Jymmm> soda bottle
[17:45:48] <alex4nder-> we used to do that 15 years ago
[17:45:55] <alex4nder-> around and around it goes
[17:45:59] <Jymmm> http://www.metacafe.com/watch/307550/how_to_make_a_works_bomb/
[17:46:14] <Jymmm> http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/bottlebomb.asp
[17:46:20] <alex4nder-> bill20r3: this is more interesting because the hydrogen burns
[17:46:23] <bill20r3> ahh.
[17:46:33] <bill20r3> but the explosive force is the pressure, right?
[17:46:43] <Jymmm> I like dry ice bombs, but HCL is some nasty shit.
[17:47:03] <Gromits> apt-get install libvte-dev took care of the other critical warning
[17:47:09] <alex4nder-> bill20r3: yah,.. and it's even better because the reaction is exothermic
[17:47:27] <Jymmm> I only mention it because we all work with aluminum and have chemicals around the shop.
[17:47:46] <alex4nder-> yah
[17:47:46] <alex4nder-> don't get any drain-o on your stock
[17:47:59] <Jymmm> Also, it seems kids think it's fun to toss in ppl's yards and mailboxes, so if you see a soda bottle in your yard, be careful
[17:48:03] <Gromits> now it's down to a manageable couple dozen warnings of blah blah blah....
[17:48:06] <bill20r3> especially if you store it in sealed soda bottles
[17:49:43] <Jymmm> This guy looks intelligent, but it a dumbass...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYS_KK_kmNY
[17:49:54] <Jymmm> and indoors?! WTF

[17:56:28] <Jymmm> pcw_home: dry ice bombs tossed in trashcans/dumpsters is kinda fun. But chemical/exo reactions with acids is just stupid imo.

isssy [

[20:19:51] <andypugh> Yes. I have a 7x14 CNC conversion, a 1939 Colchester Triumph and access to a 1970s COlchester student. I can't imagine not having easy access to a lathe.
[20:19:59] -!-
vladimirek has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[20:21:53] <Jymmm> andypugh: Ok, then why would you need to use a mill for your project?
[20:22:08] <andypugh> Did you look at the web link?
[20:22:33] <andypugh> That isn't a ltahe.
[20:23:00] <jdhNC> what motors on the 7x?
[20:23:09] <Jymmm> andypugh: it says lathe
[20:23:32] <andypugh> 1.5hp 3-phase on the spindle, and Nema 23 steppers on the axes.
[20:24:00] <andypugh> Jymmm: It's a conrod boring lathe.
[20:24:34] <Jymmm> andypugh: and thats different from a mill how?
[20:24:59] <andypugh> Well, if you look at the pictures, you will see.
[20:25:17] <jdhNC> how big are the 23's?
[20:25:54] <andypugh> I have a 2-stack on the X and 3-stack on the Z. The X is OK, but the Z is a bit weak.
[20:26:22] <jdhNC> I have one in the corner, waiting in time and parts
[20:26:43] <Jymmm> andypugh: I'm clueless when it comes to lathes =)
[20:28:00] <andypugh> jdhNC: I wouldn't bother doing it again, the base machine is basically rubbish compared to a real lathe.
[20:28:29] <jdhNC> I've found good pricea on mills and lathes vut not on motors/drivers and time.
[20:28:45] <andypugh> Motors and drivers are best found on eBay
[20:29:11] <jdhNC> they cost a lot more than the machine
[20:29:18] <Jymmm> jdhNC: When you find a good price on time let me know. I could use an extra 20-80 years. Also, if you find OLDER time, that would be even better =)
[20:29:46] <andypugh> jdhNC: That might tell you something about the machines.
[20:30:21] <jdhNC> sure, but for me they are ok
[20:31:37] <jdhNC> perhaps I could ditch the wife and kids... nah
[20:40:49] <andypugh> Jymmm: Yeah, I would like to buy another batch of 1990s.
[20:41:46] <jdhNC> I'd like to redo the 80's
[20:42:24] <andypugh> True, I could probably make a better job of them now, having non-zero self confidence now.
[20:43:39] <jdhNC> yep

[21:20:19] <mrsun> and for the tedious thing called, making the column squared to the table .... sigh
[21:23:49] <andypugh> mrsun: D you have a coaxial indicator?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfioLDhBNBQ
[21:24:20] <mrsun> andypugh, nop :/
[21:24:30] <mrsun> and question is if the spindle itself is squared to the column :P
[21:24:45] <mrsun> have to measure that also, so it doesnt point inward or outward from the start with ...
[21:25:02] <mrsun> and i wish it was only the head that tilted
[21:25:03] <andypugh> Well, the beauty of doing it that way is that you are measuring the squareness of the table to the spindle axis.
[21:25:06] <mrsun> not the whole freakin column
[21:25:45] <mrsun> andypugh, yes, and that is good, but if the spindle is not parallel with the column, moving down means also moving forward or backwards a tiny amount
[21:26:31] <andypugh> Ah. Yes.
[21:26:31] -!-
tissf has quit [Quit: Page closed]
[21:26:51] <andypugh> That does only square the spindle to the table, not the table to the column.
[21:26:59] <mrsun> mm
[21:27:18] <andypugh> Anyway, they are a nice toy, and that chinese knock-off of the real thing is quite cheap:
http://www.machine-dro.co.uk/dial-co-axial-centering-alignment-indicator-metric.html
[21:28:31] <mrsun> andypugh, yeah ive been thinking about buying one, have to be real nice to center over holes etc also =)
[21:28:57] <andypugh> They are quite long though. You might find that you don't have room for it.
[21:29:16] <mrsun> mm
[21:29:25] <mrsun> 160mm with shortest tip
[21:38:51] <mrsun> i want to fix the column tho, do not like the tilt function of stupid super x1 =)
[21:40:26] <mrsun> tilt the work not the mill imo :P

[22:49:35] <syyl> not a very good contact pattern ;)

[22:54:47] <DaViruz> i'm prone to tip while spitting
[22:54:49] <DaViruz> due to recoil
[22:54:56] <syyl> interesting ;)
[22:54:58] <andypugh> That's posh! Mine is a PU-2D with banana plugs for bare wires.
[22:55:01] <DaViruz> yeah i know
[22:55:24] <mrsun> DaViruz, well Chuck Norris would definentley tip you if he spat at you!
[22:55:57] <syyl> hihi, we still have one pu-2d at work
[22:56:03] <DaViruz> i'd jsut duck so he'd hit himself in the back of the head
[22:56:11] <syyl> sitting in the shelf
[22:56:33] <mrsun> DaViruz, you wouldnt be able to duck as he spits faster then the speed of light
[22:56:50] <mrsun> in Chuck norris case m = e^10
[22:56:55] <DaViruz> of course i would, i just have to duck before he spits
[22:56:56] <mrsun> wait
[22:57:00] <mrsun> wth
[22:57:02] <mrsun> was that
[22:57:18] <mrsun> e = mc^10
[22:57:20] <mrsun> :P�
[22:57:22] <syyl> but he allready knows when you are going to duck
[22:57:26] <syyl> so he will aim lower :D
[22:57:27] <DaViruz> mass equals the natural number to the tenth power?
[22:58:40] <DaViruz> syyl: i can't get out, can i?
[22:58:51] <syyl> dont think so
[22:58:54] <syyl> you are doomed ;)
