[02:23:04] <gesparza> hi all
[02:26:04] <gesparza> im building a whitebox san and i was wondering how much bandwidth would be needed if my 3 hard drives ( each drive = 2 TB sata 7200 64mb cache) were running at full capacity?
[02:26:38] <gesparza> i know its not an exact sicence but a rough estimate would be great
[02:27:05] <jdh> sounds like an EMC question :)
[02:27:15] -!- i_tarzan has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
[02:27:29] <gesparza> i guess so
[02:28:04] -!- tjb1 [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[02:29:08] <gesparza> i have two gigabit nics (integrated) and have one pci slot to spare. So i need to know if ill be ok with adding a two port gigabit nic card or if i need to get the four port.
[02:30:25] <jdh> for your CNC machine?
[02:31:23] <ReadError> i think you are in the wrong place, gesparza
[02:31:29] <gesparza> yep
[02:31:30] <gesparza> i am
[02:31:32] <gesparza> sorry all
[02:31:39] <jdh> good question though!
[02:31:44] <gesparza> lol
[02:31:53] <Tom_itx> what about a switch?

[02:33:57] <Tom_itx> delete it?
[02:34:36] <empiric> i delete file system but when i try to create another is says already full space
[02:34:52] <empiric> i delete Fs from web gui and create also from there
[02:35:16] <Tom_itx> i use fdisk myself
[02:35:25] <Tom_itx> and create a new partition
[02:35:47] <Tom_itx> but i'm no linux guru so that's how i do it

[11:24:21] <jthornton> yes, I am
[11:24:52] <paideia> :)
[11:26:09] <paideia> can I install this image2gcode without a linuxcnc?

[11:29:56] <paideia> jthornton, would you know how I can download it?
[11:31:40] <jthornton> you might look in the linuxcnc wiki for it
[11:31:54] <jthornton> do you know where that is?
[11:33:10] <paideia> just googled it, got here so far,
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Cam
[11:33:28] <paideia> there is a link there about image-to-gcode but it's again only doc
[11:33:55] <paideia> there must be a place with the source code of all the programs shipped with linuxcnc
[11:34:39] <jthornton> yes, the git.linuxcnc.org I think is the url
[11:34:47] <paideia> indeed, just found it
[11:35:04] <paideia> but that way I don't think I can easily download only the program I'm interested in
[11:35:27] <jthornton> dunno I aways get the entire thing
[11:35:52] <jthornton> you could drill down and find it on the git web and copy and paste I assume
[11:36:15] <jthornton> http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb
[11:36:15] <paideia> I guess you're assuming it's a standalone script
[11:36:30] <paideia> if that's the case, indeed, let me see
[11:37:23] <jthornton> that's what I'm guessing yes
[11:39:55] <paideia> gosh.. I really need to learn git
[11:40:55] <jthornton> ok

[14:23:34] <jdh> and a merry goncalao to you!
[14:23:41] -!- i_tarzan has quit [Read error: Operation timed out]
[14:23:43] <paideia> ok, you're not goncalao
[14:23:46] <paideia> :)
[14:24:02] <paideia> sorry, who asked the question about image-to-gcode?
[14:24:25] <micges> gmagno
[14:24:32] <paideia> ah ok
[14:24:47] <paideia> so I guess it's about the rs274.author module?
[14:25:28] * JT-Shop knew Andy would anwser that one :-)
[14:25:36] <paideia> I'm also trying to run image-to-gcode as a standalone
[14:25:44] <paideia> script
[14:25:52] <paideia> and I'm missing that dependency
[14:26:00] <paideia> is it easy to solve
[14:26:08] <JT-Shop> they are in the git
[14:26:34] <paideia> ok
[14:26:44] <jdh> or install linuxcnc-sim
[14:27:12] <paideia> might do that eventually, but right now just wanted to test that script
[14:27:18] <JT-Shop> paideia:

[14:27:54] <paideia> cool!
[14:27:57] <JT-Shop> btw, if you type image-to-gcode > myfile.ngc in the terminal the output goes to your file
[14:28:16] * JT-Shop goes back to work

[17:25:22] <skunkworks> just seems like a lot of work when atom+mesa 'just works'
[17:27:33] <cradek> aside from the work, I don't understand sacrificing the modern UI(s) in order to accomplish the goal of using a very low powered CPU - I don't see what the gain is in doing that
[17:28:00] <Jymmm> axis is a resource whore =)
[17:28:06] <cradek> maybe if you intended to build a very large number of them?
[17:28:34] <cradek> Jymmm: sure it is, mostly because of the preview, but so?
[17:29:14] <Jymmm> offload it to 2nd cpu/cores, and dedicate primary to the real work
[17:29:33] <Jymmm> and not the "fluff"

[17:30:50] <skunkworks> then you should not be using linux ;)

[17:43:37] <pcw_home> This is neat, I can talk to the Ethernet FPGA card from home
[17:44:48] <jdh> does it require a dedicated ethernet port?
[17:45:00] <pcw_home> For real time, yes
[17:46:12] <pcw_home> for regular utility stuff, no
[17:46:30] <IchGuckLive> i run 8hr a day on IBMA50 with no steploss at all

[17:59:42] <JT-Shop> Sweet my Panasonic PLC programming software just added a PLC simulator so you can test code without being connected for the most part
[18:01:07] <jdh> nifty
[18:01:52] <pcw_home> how do you simulate external inputs? buttons?
[18:01:57] <jdh> I replaced a PLC cpu a few weeks ago, it was a newer faster rev, the faster sweep time screwed up some communications to 3rd party boards in teh backplane
[18:02:28] <JT-Shop> you can just click on the input and toggle the state
[18:02:32] <jdh> I override/toggle for simulation
[18:03:46] <JT-Shop> it does come with a warning about a few things like special timers and stuff but for general testing I don't have to take the PLC out of the smoker to test with
[18:06:58] <jdh> I have a spare plc at my desk for testing when needed. Works ok unless you need to test with weird io modules
[18:08:11] <JT-Shop> yea, the one I was doing via remote last week had a bar code scanner attached so could not test with that until I was live on the remote

[18:39:01] <r00t-Shed> i think its bath salts
[18:39:04] <Jymmm> cradek: It's all good. I wasn't trying to troll, just aware that (as I call it) "fluff is a resource pig, and thinking that since emc doesn't (really) utilize multiple cpus/cores, that maybe the fluff could be offloaded to them, giving the 1ms timing described in the video better performance, and the fluff can do as it wants without interferance.

[18:40:27] <Jymmm> cradek: as far as Tom_itx goes, he's just trying to pull my chain is all (aka being funny)
[18:40:32] -!- vladimirek [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[18:40:56] <cradek> you are mistaken about the facts of the matter: linuxcnc is multiple processes, and that means it uses multiple processors when they are available. you can even customize that usage. fluff/pig/etc is a matter of opinion and so I have no comment about that.
[18:41:28] <Tom_itx> cradek why are we urged to change the bios to one on the atom then?
[18:42:21] <cradek> that might be a case of hyperthreading? some people think that makes it worse. actual cores do help and you can even lock the realtime to just one of them, leaving the others free.
[18:42:27] <Tom_itx> yes
[18:42:38] <Jymmm> motion == work, everything else == fluff. the fluff *could* even be offloaded to a 2nd remote computer (which I've done and dramatically seen performance improvement on both sides of the coin)
[18:42:41] <Tom_itx> they recomended turning that off
[18:43:24] <cradek> my understanding is that hyperthreading is not multiple full cores, some parts of the CPU are shared, and that unsurprisingly turns out to hurt latency
[18:43:24] <Tom_itx> i think it gained a bit of performance but i don't think i'm loading it that much on mine anyway
[18:43:41] <cradek> I am not an expert on cpu technologies :-/
[18:43:45] <Jymmm> ... that's why I like keystick (less the lil quarks it has)
[18:43:50] <Tom_itx> i just do what i'm told

[18:44:17] <r00t-Shed> how hot do steppers normally get? hot to the touch?
[18:44:26] <Tom_itx> time to borrow a JT-Shop nap
[18:44:42] <cradek> r00t-Shed: you might be able to find a max temperature rating for your motors
[18:45:06] <Tom_itx> r00t-Shed since my driver / psu updates mine run rather cool
[18:45:09] <cradek> r00t-Shed: basic/dumb drives that don't chop can give you very warm motors
[18:45:11] <Tom_itx> prior to that they ran hot
[18:45:40] <Tom_itx> the gecko drives are right impressive in that regard
[18:46:16] <r00t-Shed> im guessing the tb6560 dont chop
[18:46:52] <Tom_itx> i dunno
[18:47:40] <r00t-Shed> my x axis is constantly moving and cool, my y axis is hardly moving and hot
[18:48:01] <cradek> it's normal for steppers to be hottest when not moving
[18:48:10] <cradek> they have the max current through them at that time
[18:48:31] <Tom_itx> the gecko has a 70% power reduction 1 sec after the last step pulse has been received. i attribute the 'coolness' partially to that
[18:50:39] <pcw_home> r00t-Shed: "im guessing the tb6560 dont chop"
[18:50:40] <pcw_home> They do (as do most step drivers) but you probably
[18:50:42] <pcw_home> do not have idle current reduction
[18:50:50] <cradek> looks like tb6560 is a bipolar chopper drive
[18:51:43] <r00t-Shed> would that be decay mode?
[18:52:27] <cradek> TQ1/TQ2 inputs seem like the current limit
[18:52:48] <r00t-Shed> pcw_home, how do I do that?
[18:53:21] <r00t-Shed> it is 95 out though too
[18:55:06] <pcw_home> if you have a separate input to lower the current you set it lower when not in motion
[18:55:47] <r00t-Shed> cradek, on the main page there is a blue box with xyz coordinates, what is that?

[20:47:25] <Tom_itx> i'm considering it for my spindle monitor just to get into it a little
[20:47:45] <jthornton> this is basic glade3 python
[20:48:03] <Tom_itx> right
[20:48:21] <Tom_itx> i'll read it here in a bit.. gotta do something first
[20:48:39] <jthornton> it has helped me to learn the basics of glade3 and how the signals work with python so that should translate to GladeVCP
[20:49:18] <Tom_itx> is glade installed by default or do i need to get it?
[20:50:19] <Jymmm> jthornton: how are you generating the web pages you have?
[20:50:38] <jthornton> you can use the add menu thing to add it
[20:50:55] <jthornton> ok ubuntu software center thingsy
[20:51:01] <jthornton> asciidoc Jymmm
[20:51:14] <Jymmm> that has an editor?

[20:51:59] <Jymmm> ah
[20:52:05] <Jymmm> and the photos?
[20:52:19] <jthornton> screen captures
[20:52:32] <Jymmm> but gedit allows insertion of them?
[20:53:16] <jthornton> the html files are created with asciidoc from a text file that is created in gedit
[20:53:31] <jthornton> you use an 'image' tag to add the image
[20:53:46] <jthornton> it's quite simple once you have done it a million times
[20:53:49] <Jymmm> jthornton: Right, but does gedit give you an option to embed the photos in the document you originally create?
[20:54:04] <Jymmm> pre-asciidoc
[20:54:05] <jthornton> dunno
[20:54:46] <jthornton> I have a makefile that does the magic
[20:55:06] <Jymmm> huh?? that doens't make sense? How are you creating the original gedit document, THEN telling it where and what photos to put where?

[20:57:51] <Jymmm> cradek: ok, that tkes care of the crushing, what about marring it?

[20:58:06] <cradek> again, collet
[20:58:13] <cradek> how big?

[20:58:46] <andypugh> Cast a block of Woods metal round it, machine, melt off Woods metal.
[20:58:46] <Jymmm> (eventually nested)
[20:58:49] <cradek> for that size you could sure get 5c collets and a collet block
[21:00:56] <jthornton> Jymmm, the gedit document is a plain text file you use image::nameofimage.png[] to put an image into the html
[21:01:13] <jthornton> google asciidoc cheat sheet
[21:01:25] <Jymmm> jthornton: Do *YOU* do that from within gedit or afterwards?
[21:01:39] <jthornton> do what?
[21:01:57] <Jymmm> jthornton: insert images in your documents
[21:02:20] <andypugh> It's like writing html, you just put in a tag
[21:02:24] <jthornton> I type image::nameofimage.png[] where I want the image to be
[21:02:39] <Jymmm> jthornton: in gedit, or after gedit?
[21:02:53] <Jymmm> in your make fiel thingy
[21:03:13] <jthornton> the image::nameofimage.png[] just is part of the text in gedit
[21:03:38] <Jymmm> jthornton: ok, so you're manually inserting images into the gedit document. got it. thanks.
[21:04:31] <jthornton> no not really putting images in just the markup command
[21:04:33] <jthornton> http://pastebin.com/nNccbqW2
[21:05:15] <Jymmm> jthornton: yes I understand, I didn't mean/say embedding images, just inserting (the image tag) in the gedit document.
[21:05:47] <jthornton> yes, then asciidoc puts the proper tag into the html

[21:07:40] <jthornton> well crap they won't mail it you have to pick it up
[21:07:41] <cradek> tape reader lit up and displays on - wonder if it actually works
[21:07:48] <rob_h> says it does
[21:08:03] <rob_h> hass a issue with an offset now and then it says if i rember
[21:08:12] <cradek> works *before* moving anyway
[21:08:23] <andypugh> Do they take an actual chuck, or are they collet only?
[21:08:30] <archivist> bah cant afford
[21:08:40] <cradek> you can get 5" chucks for them
[21:08:53] <archivist> looks nice condition too
[21:09:01] <rob_h> yea fairly common fitting on them
[21:09:02] <andypugh> I suspect I would have a bit of a hard time unloading at my end.
[21:09:11] <cradek> on top of the control is a place you're supposed to write the offsets so you can re-enter them when it forgets them. original factory equipment.
[21:09:38] <rob_h> on our CHNC and superslant we have power chuck for them.. they work off the closer
[21:09:39] <cradek> the top is full of D cell nicads and a battery charger
[21:10:13] <rob_h> if any one wants a spare cabnet we have one it used to work also
[21:10:13] <andypugh> If I bought it I would _have_ to scrap the original control just to fit it in my workshop.
[21:10:22] <Jymmm> andypugh: Not at all. you just need the Super JT Unloading System... For 300 easy paymants of $19.95 you will receive the complete system, Call now, operator standing by!
[21:10:22] <cradek> andypugh: the spindle's not supposed to be painted on the front...
[21:10:30] <rob_h> its apain in ass to program anyways
[21:10:43] <cradek> andypugh: the parts you actually want from the control are quite small

[21:11:53] <jthornton> same tool holder as the CHNC I think
[21:11:54] <Jymmm> archivist: It fit in your angles corner backyard expansion =)
[21:11:59] <Jymmm> angled
[21:12:12] <archivist> simply no money
[21:12:22] <andypugh> Hmm, but my dad has a ton of space..
[21:12:23] <rob_h> depends on center high but yes u can swop the tooling
[21:13:01] <Jymmm> archivist: Well, the seller IS "StonerJeffery" and I see lots of grass in your area, I'm sure you could come to a trade =)
[21:13:11] <jthornton> I think they can be fitted with 1/2" or 3/8" or 10mm turret plates
[21:13:14] <andypugh> I have this NCbox needing something to control :-)
[21:13:33] <cradek> and we all know you love resolvers
[21:13:46] <rob_h> lo
[21:13:46] <archivist> Jymmm, what part of no money dont you understand
[21:13:51] <rob_h> plus 5C collets are cheap ;)

[21:15:06] <andypugh> WillemCMD as talking about an application needing 1/10000 of a turn positioning. Which sounds more like a job for a resolver than an encoder.
[21:15:07] <archivist> the joke wears exceedingly thin
[21:16:17] <andypugh> Talking of resolvers, these look like a bargain at the price:

[21:38:04] <Connor> andypugh: A Resolver ?
[21:38:34] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop looks good but i think i need glade to follow along
[21:38:50] <andypugh> I need more words to parse that into a question
[21:39:14] <Connor> Just looking at the item.. trying to figure out the difference between a resolver vs encoder...
[21:39:25] <Connor> not seen anyone talk much about resolvers...
[21:39:53] <andypugh> Well, it is actually rather a nice servo motor, which just happens to have resolver feedback.
[21:39:55] <JT-Shop> Tom_itx: you can add it from the Ubuntu Software Center on the main Ubuntu Menu
[21:40:28] <Connor> well.. that's what a servo is.. a motor with position feedback.. I get that.. It just happens to use a resolver instead of a encoder.
[21:40:40] <andypugh> Resolvers have theoretically infinite resolution, give absolute position feedback, and are immune to dirt and water. They are pretty tough too.
[21:40:55] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop i saw that. right now i need to find a pulley i lost
[21:41:09] <andypugh> On the down side, they are not at all easy to interface to digital systems.
[21:41:18] <JT-Shop> it's under the doo-dad
[21:42:10] <andypugh> You need to feed them a high-frequency sine wave on the primary terminals and measure the relative amplitudes of the two secondary signals.
[21:43:45] <Connor> I'm looking for a good servo unit that I can use for a 4th axis index/lathe
[21:44:37] -!- iwoj has quit [Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.]
[21:44:41] <andypugh> Belt drive?
[21:44:57] <Connor> Haven't gotten that far yet.
[21:45:09] <Connor> If it's belt drive, I'll need to put a break on the spindle.
[21:45:16] <andypugh> Those might do, but are possibly slightly underpowered. And having just one Resolver on the machine might be awkward
[21:45:31] -!- WillenCMD [WillenCMD!637ae939@gateway/web/freenode/ip.99.122.233.57] has joined #linuxcnc
[21:45:43] <Connor> It's AC.. and it's got the resolver.. so.. I don't think it's a good fit.
[21:45:56] -!- mhaberler [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[21:46:30] <andypugh> No. It would suit my machine which already has 3 AC servos with resolvers. (and two brushless otors with encoders)
[21:46:49] <WillenCMD> so i got a keling digital stepper drive in today 8056D, it has a r232 port using an ethernet plug. Anyone built a cable for this, and messed with tuning the drive?
[21:47:01] <Connor> how do you convert the analog nature of the resolvers into digital?
[21:47:04] <andypugh> Though I am a cheap-skate and trying to use an Arduino for the Resolver position feedback
[21:47:19] <Connor> Ah. okay
[21:48:19] <andypugh> Connor:
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ResolverToQuadratureConverter (But, actually, I am now sending absolute position via a serial link)
[21:48:39] <WillenCMD> is that fast enough to do pid?
[21:49:23] <andypugh> 1Mbps
[21:49:33] <andypugh> 12 bytes.
[21:49:39] <andypugh> Time will tell...
[21:49:50] <andypugh> Sorry, 6 bytes
[21:50:27] <andypugh> 10 bits of data sent as 3bits of header and 5 bits of data, so it can all be a bit non-synchronous.

[23:40:00] <r00t4rd3d> or galaga
[23:41:04] <r00t4rd3d> so a smooth bore 3/8 couple wont tighten up on 3/8 rod
[23:41:50] <r00t4rd3d> i put a couple wraps of electrical tape on the end of the rod and that held for awhile.
[23:42:21] <JT-Shop> use duct tape, the real aluminum stuff not the other stuff
[23:42:34] <Jymmm> foil tape?
[23:42:38] <r00t4rd3d> tin tape
[23:43:27] <Jymmm> is there special dies for threading ss ?
[23:43:40] <Jymmm> or just use the typical ones?
[23:45:15] <r00t4rd3d> i tried to cut some ss the other day with a metal sawzall blade and it didnt even scratch it.
[23:45:53] <Jymmm> cut off wheel =)
[23:46:11] <r00t4rd3d> my buddy has a metal cutting chop saw, i used that
