[00:00:09] <pfred1> hey I get latency of 18500 out of it
[00:00:15] <pfred1> its a hotrod!
[00:00:55] <SWPadnos> um, bigger isn't better there ;)
[00:01:25] <SWPadnos> though I have a Celeron 500 that used to get reasonable latencies (like 12-16000), but now seems to suck a bit
[00:01:26] <pfred1> well I can generate software steps faster than I need them to be
[00:01:39] <SWPadnos> that's what matters, isn't it?
[00:01:46] <pfred1> so far here for me

[00:09:20] <pfred1> SWPadnos if you guys ever want to switch to Debian I've a detailed notes file I've made of what I did to get it to work here
[00:09:41] <SWPadnos> ok, thanks
[00:09:50] <Tom_itx> nice
[00:10:06] <pfred1> just something I've trained myself to do long ago running Linux and trying to accomplish less than trivial tasks
[00:10:08] <SWPadnos> is that linked on the wiki (or maybe it should be on the wiki ...)
[00:10:09] <Tom_itx> maybe you should post it somewhere
[00:10:51] <pfred1> Tom_itx yeah it did sort of take me reading about a half a dozen other instructions to piece it all roether into something that worked for me
[00:11:30] <pfred1> some part of it are kind of vauge still like kernel configuration that is hard to write down
[00:12:06] <pfred1> every option I changed
[00:12:21] <pfred1> but the rest is command by command
[00:13:20] <pfred1> maybe i should slap it up on pastebin?
[00:13:48] <Tom_itx> or a wiki

[00:14:27] <pfred1> Tom_itx well it is personal notes so it'd need to be cleaned up before it was ready for mass consumption
[00:15:05] <pfred1> but it is a technique I developed to do complex tasks in Linux it works good for me
[00:15:38] <pfred1> I did a rough count earlier and there are about 100 discrete commands

[00:30:11] <pfred1> Jymmm yes
[00:30:20] <Jymmm> pfred1: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
[00:30:45] <pfred1> Jymmm bash: no: command not found
[00:31:59] <skunkworks_> I just tried a 3ghz e-machine today. Right out of the box - it has 40,000+ latency. Went into the bios and turned off hyperthreading and one other thing.. (cannot remember) apci maybe.. and latency seemed to hover around 12000

[00:34:37] <pfred1> sorry charlie HDDs on hdX here
[00:35:01] * pfred1 is old skule
[00:35:53] <skunkworks_> pfred - you are the paul on the diy list - aren't you...
[00:36:21] <pfred1> skunkworks_ on Yahoo?
[00:36:24] <skunkworks_> yes
[00:36:35] <pfred1> pfrederick1 is my Yahoo ID
[00:36:41] <skunkworks_> yup
[00:36:58] <pfred1> they're cracked there but where aren't they?
[00:37:18] <skunkworks_> eh - nothing new
[00:37:29] <pfred1> there is a lot of misinformation and misconceptions floating about with linux
[00:38:22] <pfred1> none of it i believe is any good for it either people who claim it can leap tall buildings in a single bound and others who say it is pure drek
[00:38:36] <Valen> mesa should throw some $ at people to make a 12.04 cd ;->
[00:39:01] <pfred1> Valen don't burn a CD use a USB thumb drive
[00:39:10] <pfred1> then it won't cost you anything!
[00:39:16] <Valen> true enough
[00:39:30] <Valen> you still make an iso first generally then convert it to usb ;-P
[00:39:46] * pfred1 still has a BDI CD kicking around somewhere ...
[00:39:53] <Jymmm> Or create a VM from the ISO =)
[00:39:54] <Valen> everything is going to touch screens and touch user interface
[00:40:08] <Valen> witch is great, unless you need to use a computer for a few hours
[00:40:22] <pfred1> Valen one of my pet peeves is screen smudges
[00:40:29] <pfred1> man i just hate a smudged screen!
[00:41:06] * pfred1 has been known to freak out when they've seen others even move towards touching their screen
[00:41:29] * Jymmm eats an some hot wings and wipes his hands on pfred1's display.
[00:41:47] <Valen> what is it with females and poking the screen
[00:41:57] <pfred1> Jymmm you'd be taking all your nutrition throug ha straw after that stunt
[00:42:19] <Valen> tapping on plastic LCD screens with fingernails
[00:42:47] <pfred1> man what is it with the soft plastic LCD screens seem made of I cleaned mine and they seem to get scratched
[00:43:05] <Valen> i havent had that problem
[00:43:11] <Valen> i dust them off first
[00:43:24] <Valen> then clean very gently with a screen cleaning "kit"
[00:43:32] <pfred1> yeah I hit mine dry with a paper towel I didn't even press hard or anything
[00:43:45] <Valen> make sure that you don't use the edge of the cloth where the stitching is
[00:43:54] <Valen> you probably had dust on it
[00:44:12] <pfred1> well I was trying to remove the dust
[00:44:26] <pfred1> all I know is it has some scratches in it now
[00:44:40] <pfred1> though really I can't see them when the screen is on
[00:44:47] <pfred1> it still bothers me
[00:44:48] <Valen> the kit i got has a little fine bristled brush
[00:45:03] <pfred1> yeah I'm thinking about getting some kind of a soft duster
[00:45:22] <pfred1> but since it has happened I haven't been wiping it anymore
[00:45:40] <pfred1> now I've another I cleaned with some glass cleaner I didn't notice it get to oscratched

[01:32:43] <elmo40> he is cutting a weld prep. 45deg. that's z & x ;)
[01:34:41] <Loetmichel_> i meant: better the 2" (2,83") than the ~ 10 feet tube in lengh ;-)
[01:35:33] <Loetmichel_> but that would be done wit automatic feed i presume ;-)

[04:11:02] <A2Sheds> several mesa users here
[04:12:22] <A2Sheds> 200V x 2.2A = 440W
[04:13:03] <clytle374> A2Sheds, are you the one needing to build a PS?
[04:13:21] <A2Sheds> ^^ Gensor2
[04:13:52] <A2Sheds> ah b4 you came in: <Gensor2> Who here can help me design a power supply to support 3-4 servos that are 200v 2.2amp 200W power supply
[04:14:28] <clytle374> I glanced over the logs
[04:16:43] <clytle374> I've read over the mesa stuff a lot, but a complete noob as far as questions go.
[04:17:31] <clytle374> Now if a 170V PS is close enough, rectify 120AC USA power will do it
[04:18:47] <clytle374> Just a thought
[04:49:06] <clytle374> checking match between tk and Tkinter versions... TCL mismatch: 8.4 vs 8.5
[04:49:23] <clytle374> Easy fix in Ubuntu?

[04:51:53] -!- morfic [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc

[04:53:18] <automata> I am using hostmot2 and I want to provide a pin for inverting the direction of an axis on the user interface...
[04:53:49] <automata> this can be done by writing to the gpio.0xx.invert-output param
[04:54:30] <automata> and I also want to display the params value on the interface

[05:21:26] <skunkworks_> I assume you cannot connect a paramater to a signal?
[05:21:37] <skunkworks_> (have not played with hal for a while...)
[05:23:04] <skunkworks_> what about making a M100/m101 that does a setp gpio.0xx.invert-output true/false. this could then be run by a couple of buttons.. (just thinking out loud)
[05:25:34] -!- joe9 has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[05:27:11] <psha[work]> skunkworks_: why not to connect buttons to this pin directly?
[05:27:31] -!- joe9 [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[05:27:39] <skunkworks_> can you? I though parameters could not be connected to nets.
[05:27:54] <skunkworks_> or is that something that can be done with glade widgets

[12:01:27] <Loetmichel_> re @ home ... eute mal heimarbeit :-)
[12:02:33] <mazafaka> I am also thinking about sauerkraut and steamed potato, Loetmichel_ :)
[12:02:48] <Loetmichel_> oh, sorry
[12:02:54] <mazafaka> If I've understood you correctly
[12:03:19] <Loetmichel_> should be "re @ home, working the second half of the day from home"
[12:03:22] <mazafaka> My German isn't really good.
[12:03:34] <mazafaka> Oh
[12:03:51] <mazafaka> Almost near the right meaning.
[12:04:54] <Loetmichel_> ... i have to build a Computer case prototype... and my Company has no CNC. but i have ;-)
[12:05:32] <mazafaka> how will you provide the rigidity of the computer case?
[12:05:57] <Loetmichel_> not the complete case, just some supplements
[12:06:24] <Loetmichel_> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=10883 <- this
[12:06:34] <Loetmichel_> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=10880
[12:06:40] <Loetmichel_> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=10886
[12:07:15] <mazafaka> yeah, that rotating USB port
[12:07:42] <Loetmichel_> and this with more Port holes: http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=12575
[12:09:35] <Loetmichel_> and maybe the Powerswitch/lock holder from this: http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=12469&g2_imageViewsIndex=1
[12:09:51] <mazafaka> how will you create those sinks for the bolts' caps? Will you use some large drill bit or just use CNC with some small drill bit?
[12:11:42] <Loetmichel_> which bolts?
[12:12:42] <Loetmichel_> ah, in the back plate?
[12:12:56] <Loetmichel_> small mill bit and CNC it
[12:13:55] <Loetmichel_> the PITA part on the backplate is that the surface of the aluminium is already grinded. so every scratch/fingerprint is VERY visible
[12:14:16] <Loetmichel_> i think i will mill it and then sand it again with a belt sander
[12:14:31] <Loetmichel_> you really see the tiniest scratch on this
[12:14:33] <Loetmichel_> :-(
[12:19:45] <awallin> diy computer case with completely passive cooling would be a nice project... I wonder if there are plans/ideas online?
[12:20:55] <Loetmichel_> awallin: i dont think so
[12:22:15] <Loetmichel_> 'cause even with a passive CPU/GPU cooler and a passive PSU You HAVE to have a fan in the case to provide the various SPS and rams and components with adequate moving air

[12:40:47] <archivist> not if you use an aluminium contact heatsink to all parts needing cooling, need some fancy cnc work to make it
[12:41:19] <archivist> and a gallon of heatsink goo
[12:47:49] <Loetmichel_> hihi
[12:49:08] <archivist> or just use pure distilled water
[12:49:41] <archivist> iirc there are some using oil cooling
[12:50:01] <Loetmichel_> submerge the whole Mainboard in Perfluorcarbon and use an external passive heatsink. Problem solved ;-)

[15:55:57] <jdhNC_> what is it?
[16:01:06] <FinboySlick> jdhNC_: My thoughts exactly ;)
[16:01:37] <FinboySlick> Though I'm pretty sure the thing at the top is a digital caliper.
[16:07:27] <sirhoax> Loetmichel_, is that acrylic or polycarbonate?
[16:07:47] <sirhoax> had a lot of difficulty with plexiglass/acrylic.
[16:07:55] <sirhoax> with no cooling/lubricant.
[16:08:23] <sirhoax> guess i have to get the speed up on this machine.
[16:08:43] <sirhoax> might help a bit.
[16:12:41] <sirhoax> Loetmichel_, you do very nice work.
[16:16:03] <JT-Shop> sirhoax: with plasitcs you have to cut a big enough chip to pull the heat out or it melts...
[16:16:41] <sirhoax> yea i was continually getting that blob of plastic on the bit.
[16:16:59] <sirhoax> would create its own custom fillet chamfer.

[16:17:15] <sirhoax> frustrating, then i tried spraying with lithium grease.
[16:17:16] <archivist> and sharp tool so it cuts not rubs
[16:17:21] <sirhoax> helped a bit.
[16:19:22] <Jymmm> sirhoax: Problem solved... http://www.plasticrouting.com/
[16:20:11] <sirhoax> Jymmm, nicey nice.
[16:20:32] <Jymmm> and they work very well too!
[16:20:34] <sirhoax> right now, basically using those overpriced homedepot bits.

[16:36:48] <sirhoax> why what happened to your finger?
[16:38:03] <JT-Shop> I got close to the edge of an Onsrud end mill for plastic and started to bleed
[16:38:11] <JT-Shop> their that sharp
[16:39:39] <Jymmm> sirhoax: JT-Shop just got *CLOSE* to it, not actually made contact and he started to bleed!!!
[16:40:18] <sirhoax> what is the life on them?
[16:40:30] <sirhoax> heh. sounds sharp. ;-)
[16:40:33] * Jymmm would hate to see what would happen if JT-Shop had given it a dirty look!!!
[16:41:05] <Jymmm> sirhoax: life doesn't matter, they are the only thing that works for plastic, period.
[16:41:22] <Jymmm> Though, they are carbon fwiw.
[16:42:00] <sirhoax> k. might have to bite. and get a few.
[16:42:06] <archivist> carbon steel can have a sharper edge
[16:43:16] <Jymmm> sirhoax: what are you going to be doing with them?
[16:44:51] <sirhoax> some scrap, i got my hands on 1/2" plexiglass.

[16:57:04] <sirhoax> yea polycarbonate just mills better.
[16:57:33] <sirhoax> nice clean chips come off the material.
[16:57:35] <Loetmichel_> JT-Shop was meant
[16:58:23] <Loetmichel_> JT-Shop: no, acrylics mill even better... if you have some soap water in your flood cooling ;-)
[16:59:13] <Loetmichel_> its a USB-stick holder fpr a Tempest-proof PC.

[18:07:27] <IchGuckLive> hi all around the world
[18:13:33] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel_: That'S pretty cool.
[18:16:11] <DJ9DJ> hi ham! :D
[18:19:10] <Loetmichel_> FinboySlick: its also really heavy. The small case aloen without innards weights about 10kg ;-)
[18:19:27] <Loetmichel_> its 3mm aluminium welded szut
[18:19:34] <Loetmichel_> shut along all seams
[18:19:41] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel_: What's inside? An SBC?
[18:20:55] <Loetmichel_> sbc, a mini-itx, a µatx or a normal ATX board
[18:22:32] <Loetmichel_> the actual demo machine i am building has a fullsize atx board with 8GB ram, a GF GT250 and a I7-2600k
[18:23:04] <Loetmichel_> so i had to make some compromize. the case it crammed full, there is a mini ATX PSU to fit inside.
[18:23:18] <Loetmichel_> "only" 400W, but should be sufficient.
[18:23:52] <Loetmichel_> bit the thermal stress test is pending, so maybe i have to make some more openings and insert fans ;-)
[18:23:57] <FinboySlick> You have active cooling?
[18:24:05] <FinboySlick> Oh hehe, you preempted me.
[18:24:47] <Loetmichel_> atm only the PSU fan is pushing air outside
[18:25:06] <Loetmichel_> and the front bezels are drilled to let air in
[18:25:24] <FinboySlick> Well, if there's a spot for air to come in on the opposite side, it could well be enough.
[18:25:32] <FinboySlick> Damn, preempted me again.
[18:25:36] <Loetmichel_> look at the PDF

[18:37:42] <IchGuckLive> Artikel-Nr.: NOAH CRS3988B80
[18:37:55] <Loetmichel_> what?
[18:38:03] <IchGuckLive> case
[18:38:20] <Loetmichel_> ???
[18:38:39] <IchGuckLive> the case from the pdf
[18:38:55] <Loetmichel_> you noticed that i work for a company which makes Computers for the military?
[18:39:08] <DJ9DJ> :D
[18:39:34] <Loetmichel_> no, the case is done by a sheet metal manufacturer, construction is from our company
[18:39:36] <IchGuckLive> army.mil.com B)
[18:40:35] <Loetmichel_> its constructed to be VERY quiet in the Electromagnetic radiation
[18:41:05] <Loetmichel_> ... about 60 dB BELOW the limits for CE EMV
[18:41:13] <IchGuckLive> 0,5mm solit cold steael
[18:41:32] <Loetmichel_> 3mm Aluminium welded shut along ALL seams ;)
[18:41:59] <IchGuckLive> i readet this thats shilded O.O
[18:43:59] <IchGuckLive> rain on -5deg cold street i think i need a chain on the wheels tomorrow
[18:44:12] <DJ9DJ> hmm. +1.8 here :D
[18:46:52] <IchGuckLive> compare as I left LA on Saturday 21 DEG C 70F
[18:48:24] <Loetmichel_> and the gaskets you see at the front are made of silver/nickel sputtered nylon fabric, so they are conductive, too ;-)
[18:48:39] <Loetmichel_> (and on every other lid of the case also ;-)
[18:49:30] <IchGuckLive> igot this sheeds here 2 "Neusilber zum ätzen der Frontpanels "
[18:49:40] <Loetmichel_> FYI: such a computer costs about 8kEur++ (depends on the parts in it). PLUS 3kEur for the 19"monitor
[18:50:07] <Loetmichel_> i dont know what my boss charges for the new 24" model, but it wont be cheaper ;-)
[18:50:11] <IchGuckLive> mil thinks are alwayt 10times over paid
[18:50:28] <IchGuckLive> but as garbich nice to get
[18:50:28] <Loetmichel_> no, its more or less handcrafted
[18:50:43] <Loetmichel_> on this prototype i sit 2 weeks already
[18:50:49] <Loetmichel_> and thats not the end of it
[18:51:31] -!- isssy has quit [Quit: Bye Bye]
[18:51:31] <IchGuckLive> beaware of galxy desine shapes copy patents O.o
[18:51:33] <Loetmichel_> the case alone costs us about 300 eur. PLUS 120 eur fir the front flap
[18:52:03] <Loetmichel_> IchGuckLive: could you rephrase that?
[18:52:54] <IchGuckLive> with mil no factor
[18:53:37] <Loetmichel_> still dont understand
[18:55:05] <IchGuckLive> There are Varius Case Patents for MINI ATX in place as you may have hread about the Galxy 1Mio Dollar frar on there copy of the backbone case from apple
[18:55:33] -!- isssy [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[18:55:39] <IchGuckLive> at your messurments no factor
[18:55:45] <Loetmichel_> does not apply here 'cause the case ISNT atx form factor
[18:56:04] <Loetmichel_> if you have noticed: the back has no opening for the atx bezel
[18:56:29] <Loetmichel_> there are filters in between the Board and the back plate
[18:56:35] <IchGuckLive> you dont need to car anyway at mil production
[18:56:37] <Loetmichel_> and adapters to Dsub9
[18:56:42] <Loetmichel_> from USB for example
[18:56:48] <FinboySlick> It'd be a cute case in the US. The military can infringe on the 4th amendment but not on a patent ;)
[18:57:24] <Loetmichel_> we are not mil exclusively, any company which want not to be eavesdropped can buy the systems
[18:57:47] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel_: I know. I was just musing the irony.
[18:58:19] <Loetmichel_> it would
[18:59:03] <Loetmichel_> but on the other side: it wouldnt: desings cant be patentet, and even if they are: older use strikes ;-)
[18:59:55] <IchGuckLive> agree
[19:00:28] <Loetmichel_> we have evidence for every part we build wehen we designed it, so if one wants to sue us he has to proof that he designed it earlier
[19:02:03] <Loetmichel_> ... as a matter of fact, we just have it the other way round: we were notices by the BSI that one cometitor sent in a Computer which looks like our old model. To the last screw, even the same color scheme...
[19:02:17] <Loetmichel_> noticed
[19:02:35] <IchGuckLive> thats the way it is
[19:02:54] <Loetmichel_> fortunally the Clerc at BSI who certifies our computers has got hold of it...
