[00:00:10] <JT-Shop> looks ok to me but what the heck do I know
[00:00:17] <Tom_L> all
[00:00:29] <skunkworks__> so - latency test doesn't work?
[00:00:32] <Tom_L> no
[00:00:39] <Tom_L> not from the menu anyway
[00:00:45] <skunkworks__> what does it do when you run latency-test from terminal?
[00:00:59] <Tom_L> how do i do that?
[00:01:21] <Tom_L> oh crap, i didn't plug the parport cable back in it
[00:01:27] <skunkworks__> applications -> accessories -> terminal
[00:01:37] <skunkworks__> then just type latency-test
[00:01:38] <Tom_L> it won't start without it but i can run the latency
[00:01:47] <skunkworks__> right
[00:01:48] <PCW> control-alt-T
[00:01:51] * JT-Shop puts his chef hat on and goes inside
[00:02:07] <skunkworks__> oh poo - I can never remember that key combo
[00:02:47] <Tom_itx> insmod: error inserting '/usr/realtime-2.6.32-122-rtai/modules/rtai_hal.ko': -1 Operation not permitted
[00:02:51] <ReadError> skunkworks__
[00:03:00] <tjb1> Is Java programming of any use to the diy cnc person?
[00:03:14] <ReadError> Here I show my first two cuts using CNC with EMC2. I generated the first gcode using PyCam, but decided I could modify it to make a better part. The part I am making is for a project a friend I had for the summer.
[00:03:23] <Tom_L> returned from entering latency-test
[00:03:39] <skunkworks__> ReadError: ah - that is not my video :)
[00:04:12] <Tom_L> i wonder if 8.04 would work any better
[00:05:05] <skunkworks__> Tom_L: I think you need to pastebin your dmesg (from termina)
[00:05:16] <Tom_L> i did
[00:05:19] <Tom_L> me thinks
[00:05:43] <Tom_L> err that was dpkg
[00:05:58] -!- tjb1 has quit [Quit: tjb1]
[00:07:33] <skunkworks__> Tom_L: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?TroubleShooting#emc2_doesn_t_run_missing_lapic
[00:08:59] <Tom_L> still wanna see the file?
[00:09:03] <Tom_L> i'll try that
[00:10:09] <andypugh> What's the lowest-grief way to share files on my Ubuntu machine to the network?
[00:10:37] <Tom_L> i mapped a drive back to my windows machine
[00:10:45] -!- sumpfralle [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:10:51] <Tom_L> then connect ubuntu back to it
[00:10:59] <Tom_L> the map is to my cnc files
[00:11:23] <andypugh> You installed SMB on the Ubu machine then?
[00:11:31] <Tom_L> probably
[00:11:42] <Tom_L> whatever it needed to make it work :)
[00:11:56] <Tom_L> i did it all from the gui with little effort
[00:12:16] <andypugh> I wasn't having much lucj with smb, so I set up afp (netatalk / avahi) and it was working nicely until a couple of days ago
[00:13:15] <r00t4rd3d> usb drive connect to router
[00:13:23] <skunkworks__> I have only used smb
[00:13:24] <Tom_L> skunkworks__, http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/dmesg_list.txt
[00:14:03] <Tom_L> skunkworks__ i need root access to change the grub line right?
[00:14:36] <andypugh> I would expect so
[00:14:40] <skunkworks__> 96.108974] RTAI[hal]: ERROR, LOCAL APIC CONFIGURED BUT NOT AVAILABLE/ENABLED
[00:14:48] <jdh> I have a drive hooked up to my router. I map it as a windows drive, and I cifs mount it under my ~/linuxcnc/nc_files/net
[00:15:06] <skunkworks__> Tom_l sudo...
[00:15:12] <Tom_L> yes
[00:15:30] <Tom_L> andypugh it was easier for me to do it that way so i didn't have to make an external login for ubuntu

[00:15:58] -!- wsjr|2 [wsjr|[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:16:01] <r00t4rd3d> personally i would make sure sshd was installed then use winscp
[00:16:15] <jdh> way too painful
[00:16:17] <Tom_L> i use winscp as well
[00:16:22] <Tom_L> but not on this
[00:16:25] <andypugh> There is some strange stuff going on in a local network where you can screen-share a computer in the other corner of the room, but can't ping it.
[00:16:34] <jdh> then you have two copies everywhere and never know which one is right
[00:16:36] <skunkworks__> I have my nc_files directory shared on the k&t and drop files into it from xp
[00:17:22] <r00t4rd3d> most times i just email myself gcode
[00:17:22] <Tom_L> andypugh the idea for me was to map my cad cam output file right to the ubuntu cnc_files directory but the application didn't like me doing that so i went the other way

[00:18:35] <skunkworks__> andypugh: firewall?
[00:18:56] <andypugh> Not that I know of
[00:19:21] <skunkworks__> by default you cannot ping xp machines because of the windows firewall
[00:19:47] <PCW> Only windows would worry about a ping
[00:20:37] <andypugh> It's the Ubu machine I can't ping
[00:20:46] <jdh> remember the ping of death?
[00:21:06] <PCW> that's peculiar
[00:21:46] -!- toastydeath [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:21:59] <andypugh> Well, I can now. But earlier I was fiddling with settings in it with VNC, bit couldn't ping it. ssh has always worked no problem.
[00:22:16] <r00t4rd3d> andypugh, do you have a router? What brand?
[00:22:23] <r00t4rd3d> internet router

[00:23:06] <andypugh> Currenty I have a remote desktop (VNC) to it, an ssh session and it show up via bonjour/avahi as a share on my Mac. I just can't access the share
[00:23:06] <r00t4rd3d> some routers block that sort of stuff by default
[00:23:18] <r00t4rd3d> samba?
[00:23:22] <andypugh> r00t4rd3d: But it worked until sunday night.
[00:23:32] <andypugh> afp
[00:23:33] <r00t4rd3d> did you update something?
[00:23:49] <andypugh> No, but both machines crashed :-/
[00:24:48] <andypugh> The Ubu machine is currently crashing several times a night, but that is my fault, and I am homing in on the problem.
[00:24:48] <r00t4rd3d> did they get assigned different network ips?
[00:25:13] <andypugh> Yes, but they are both back to where they were and static

[00:25:43] <r00t4rd3d> lol
[00:25:51] <Tom_L> i need a new router, any suggestions for a decent one?
[00:26:04] <r00t4rd3d> anything that will run ddwrt
[00:26:07] <andypugh> And I can access the other machines on the network fine.
[00:26:17] <jdh> anything better/different than an atom d525 currently?
[00:26:21] <r00t4rd3d> can you ping them through the router?
[00:26:32] <Tom_L> http://www.caymanwireless.com/2000-2900-mhz/171691-uap.html
[00:26:33] <jdh> that comes from amazon
[00:26:33] <andypugh> jdh: not really.
[00:26:40] <Tom_L> i was gonna get one of those for the wifi end of it
[00:27:00] <r00t4rd3d> tomato has command line options i believe in the setup page
[00:27:11] <r00t4rd3d> see if you can get to it from there
[00:28:16] <r00t4rd3d> or a box to type in remote commands
[00:28:19] <r00t4rd3d> something
[00:28:32] -!- Tom_shop [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:28:34] <skunkworks__> andypugh: I have had samba just quit working - re-installing it fixed it.
[00:28:56] <jdh> I've never seen that happen.
[00:28:56] <r00t4rd3d> samba sucks
[00:29:01] <r00t4rd3d> id rather burn cds
[00:29:16] <Tom_L> skunkworks__ after editing that grub line i get this:
[00:29:18] <Tom_shop> insmod: error inserting '/usr/realtime-2.6.32-122-rtai/modules/rtai_hal.ko': -1 Operation not permitted
[00:29:21] <andypugh> I just WOL-ed the lathe in the garage, pinged it and opened a share. I think we can conclude that they problem is with the other Ubu box.
[00:30:08] <skunkworks__> Tom_l did you do the sudo update-grub
[00:30:10] <r00t4rd3d> Tom_L, did you update grub after editing it?
[00:30:17] <r00t4rd3d> SOB!
[00:30:19] <Tom_L> yes
[00:30:22] <Tom_L> and rebooted
[00:30:41] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: No, just wanted to ry out a jet pack =)
[00:30:41] <andypugh> Tom_L: RIP?
[00:30:47] <r00t4rd3d> who owns rtai_hal.ko ?
[00:31:03] <Tom_L> how do i tell?
[00:31:23] <andypugh> Tom_L: I think you would remember compiling it.
[00:31:36] <Tom_L> this was a live cd install
[00:31:50] <andypugh> Not that then.
[00:31:55] <Tom_L> or a dead one
[00:32:17] <Tom_L> on a via c3 eden chip
[00:32:32] <andypugh> Tom_L: uname -r ?
[00:33:04] <r00t4rd3d> it probably wont boot now

[00:37:17] -!- i_tarzan [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:37:28] <Tom_L> i got the iso for that, i may try it next
[00:37:35] <r00t4rd3d> i would get rtapi errors with 10.04
[00:37:50] <r00t4rd3d> 8.04 just worked.

[00:38:36] <Tom_L> no, i thought i had the 8.04 cd but it turned out to be 10.04
[00:38:43] <Tom_L> so i went with it to try
[00:38:50] <r00t4rd3d> oh
[00:39:09] <r00t4rd3d> once you update linuxcnc and the os, hard to tell the diff

[00:42:41] <r00t4rd3d> ya thats what i got
[00:43:01] <andypugh> Is a bit of a show-stopper with 10.04 You could try poking round in the BIOS to see if you can enable LAPIC
[00:43:23] <Tom_L> i'll see if it's there
[00:43:33] <r00t4rd3d> if i did tail -f /var/log/dmesg and ran the lat test it would crash with that same error.
[00:44:01] <r00t4rd3d> i changed everything in the bios

[00:52:39] <Tom_L> yes
[00:52:46] <r00t4rd3d> use that
[00:52:47] <Tom_L> i'm not sure it will boot from that
[00:53:04] <r00t4rd3d> mines does
[00:53:13] <r00t4rd3d> lol -s
[00:53:16] <r00t4rd3d> im white
[00:53:37] <Tom_L> usb zip?
[00:53:39] <andypugh> You can use the boot-disk creator in 10,04 to make a bootable USB direct from the ISO

[00:54:22] -!- wsjr [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:54:23] <Tom_L> to make one for 8.04?
[00:54:29] <andypugh> Yes
[00:54:37] <Tom_L> mmm now i gotta move the image over..
[00:54:39] <andypugh> It asks for an ISO file.
[00:55:14] <r00t4rd3d> I remember a flaw with that
[00:55:18] <r00t4rd3d> slow or something
[00:55:19] <andypugh> And re-installing netatalk appears to have worked :-)
[00:55:48] <Tom_L> what boot device should i set in the bios? usb-zip?
[00:55:57] <Tom_L> fdd?
[00:56:10] <Jymmm> not fdd
[00:56:22] -!- wsjr|2 [wsjr|[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:56:22] <Jymmm> Just enable usb legacy
[00:56:26] <andypugh> You might not be able to choose the USB until it is plugged in. My NCBox is like that.
[00:56:27] <r00t4rd3d> when it posts it will give a keypress to goto boot menu
[00:56:31] -!- wsjr has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[00:56:44] <r00t4rd3d> in that boot menu you will see what you wants
[00:56:58] <Jymmm> Tom_L: But if you have usb-zip as an option, you may not be able to.
[00:57:08] <Jymmm> Tom_L: how old is this mobo?
[00:57:11] <r00t4rd3d> F2 to enter setup, F3 for boot list, etc
[00:57:16] <r00t4rd3d> ancient
[00:57:18] <Tom_L> obsolete
[00:57:31] <andypugh> Yeah, USB-ZIP is taking me back to the 20th century
[00:57:43] <r00t4rd3d> i remember usb-zip didnt work for me i think
[00:57:46] <Jymmm> Tom_L: Try enabling ATAPI boot, worth a shot.
[00:57:48] <Tom_L> i could have a cd by now
[00:57:55] <r00t4rd3d> there was another usb option

[00:58:28] <andypugh> Yes, USB-Zip was an alternative to parallel-port ZIP for those super-high capacity 100MB ZIP drives.
[00:58:40] <Jymmm> andypugh: lol
[00:58:52] <jdh> hey, I loved my zip.

[06:37:48] <pingufan> Good morning from Austria.

[06:38:10] -!- wsjr [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[06:38:11] <pingufan> I have a question on AXIS 2.5.1.
[06:38:52] -!- i_tarzan_ has quit [Read error: Operation timed out]
[06:39:59] <pingufan> It happened meanwhile 5 times that the GUI didn't respond to any mouse click after running a milling job. Surprisingly is: When I press Ctrl+Alt+ESC and then click the AXIS window (that would kill it in KDE), it remains on the screen and can be operated again!
[06:39:59] -!- wsjr has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[06:40:09] <pingufan> Any idea how to fix this?

[06:45:24] -!- i_tarzan_ [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[06:45:37] <pingufan> The other thing I noticed (and that urely can be configured) is: I installed "devilspie" and it automatically maximizes the AXIS Window on start. Works great, but then I have the lower half of it showing the program code and only the upper half shows the display. Every time I have to re-adjust the separation because I want to see only ~10 lines of code and use most of the screen for the graphical display. Can I save this setup`
[06:45:40] <pingufan> ?
[06:46:43] <pingufan> I can show screenshots of as-is and how-it-should-look for better understanding, if required.
[06:46:55] -!- i_tarzan has quit [Read error: Operation timed out]
[06:47:26] <pingufan> But except of that, 2.5.1 is really good. :)
[06:49:34] <pingufan> Can some guru help me, please?

[10:22:06] <pingufan> archivist: Is the AXIS GUI configurable? I want to limit the number of code lines to ~10 lines, everything above should be for display.
[10:22:32] <archivist> the code is open source, do as you wish
[10:22:43] <pingufan> Currently the lower half is used for code lines when I maximize the AXIS window.

[14:44:49] <jdh> how fast do you turn a reamer for mild steel?
[14:45:35] <cradek> slooow, 50 sfm
[14:47:08] <jdh> can you use adjustable reamers under power? Seems like they would be hard to accurately size?
[14:47:50] <cradek> I have never used the adjustable ones
[14:48:11] <cradek> the whole point is to get the right size hole, which seems hard with an adjustable one :-)
[14:49:57] <JT-Shop> jdh I run reamers 1/2 the RPM and 2x the Feed of the drill I used to predrill the hole
[14:51:01] <cradek> yes I agree, you want to feed pretty heavy, but slow speed or it bounces around in the hole
[14:51:51] <JT-Shop> yep
[14:51:52] <cradek> and make sure if you're using a drill chuck that it's a good one, and use as much stickout as possible
[14:52:06] <cradek> reamers are long for a reason
[14:55:04] <jdh> someday, perhaps, I'll find something I want to make that doesn't require buying something else first.
[14:55:23] <archivist> often long to align holes
[14:56:15] <cradek> yes but also to let it follow the hole, not the drill chuck
[14:56:21] <Jymmm> jdh: I was going to suggest a casket, but you still need to buy a holes in the ground.

[18:17:19] <taiden> are there any quirks to resuming a toolpath after a hardware crash?
[18:17:29] <taiden> i can't seem to get this thing to line up
[18:21:10] <skunkworks> do you have home switches?
[18:21:53] <taiden> yes that isn't the problem though
[18:22:07] <taiden> when i try to resume from where i left off, right before a subroutine call
[18:22:11] <taiden> it just doesn't do anything or
[18:22:17] <taiden> cuts 2" above where it should be
[18:22:22] <taiden> even though everything is lined up

[18:22:41] <taiden> and then use the touch off tool
[18:22:44] <taiden> i get strange offsets like
[18:22:56] <taiden> if i set a location to z0.5 it reads z1.812
[18:22:59] <taiden> on DRO
[18:30:36] <taiden> when i resume

[18:31:01] <taiden> instead
[18:31:07] <taiden> and if i can solve why that happens

[18:39:02] <cradek> oh you've hit the nail on the head. it does re-run the program from the beginning.

[18:39:17] <taiden> i'm grabbing the line i need and then clicking on "run from here"
[18:39:44] <cradek> yes, it starts from the beginning in that case, and starts executing when it gets to your requested spot.

[18:42:46] <cradek> is your cpu fan spinning and the heat sink clean?
[18:42:49] <taiden> motherboard reports happy heat situation
[18:42:54] <taiden> 45c at load
[18:42:54] <cradek> :-(
[18:43:06] <cradek> capacitors bulging?
[18:43:12] <taiden> not sure how to check that
[18:43:16] <cradek> eyeball
[18:43:32] <taiden> if i smack the case in frustration i lose video signal
[18:43:38] <taiden> which i just discovered five minutes ago haha
[18:43:52] <cradek> domed or split tops, sometimes oozing goop
[18:44:21] <taiden> the thing is it's totally random
[18:44:32] <taiden> i started it up and ran this program for about 15 minutes and it crashed
[18:44:43] <taiden> i've spent an hour trying to get it to work again and no crash
[18:44:57] <taiden> I just want to resume it withotu having to edit my program every single time :(
[18:45:31] <cradek> sounds like if you get your offsets and tool length set how they were before, it'll be fine
[18:45:47] <taiden> i do
[18:45:54] <taiden> i get it exactly where it needs to be
[18:46:04] <taiden> clear all offsets, make sure im in the right coordinate system
[18:46:15] <taiden> set g54 Z to where it needs to be
[18:46:22] <cradek> it's hard for me to guess what is wrong if I don't know your whole workflow and how you use offsets :-/
[18:46:24] <taiden> and then it arbitrarily adds 0.62
[18:46:31] <taiden> to z
[18:46:45] <cradek> well that's not arbitrary, you just haven't figured out where it comes from yet
[18:46:52] <taiden> fair enough
[18:47:08] <taiden> it would be insane for me to show you because i have like four different subroutine files that this one fixture file pulls from
[18:47:29] <taiden> the subroutine files do not use any coordinate systems or offsets
[18:47:34] <cradek> yuck, that can make it very hard
[18:47:50] <taiden> i had to do it because otherwise it would be insane to try to make changes in the future
[18:47:55] <taiden> i dont use CAM
[18:48:10] <cradek> yeah, you pick your poison, unfortunately
[18:48:16] <taiden> yes
[18:48:29] <taiden> the toolpath works extremely well except i just can't force it to resume withotu trying to be smart about everything previous
[18:48:29] <cradek> straight-line code is easier to deal with for restarts, but hard to understand and edit
[18:49:07] <cradek> did you go through the "if you're lost" url I pasted earlier, to make sure you are thinking about each of the available offsets?

[18:58:53] <andypugh> I seem to be a female handball player or male wrestler. Odd.
[19:00:11] <cradek> ha, yeah like my 190lb is anything like a british water polo player's 190lb
[19:00:21] <jdh> my 190lb is
[19:00:29] <cradek> ... who's a decade younger than me
[19:00:29] <jdh> it's the other 50lb that isn'
[19:00:34] <cradek> hahaha
[19:01:11] <cradek> although, he and I have the same number of olympic medals
[19:02:04] <andypugh> It seems very likely to stay that way, unless they bring in olympic CNC.
[19:03:26] <jdh> then, they can have pairs synchronized cnc'ing

[19:27:59] <archivist> andypugh, I have thought of another way of adding encoding to my hobbing head that you could use too, add a helical gear to mesh with the spiral bevel at an angle with a normal encoder mounted on the cover
[19:28:38] <archivist> adds an error term but may well be averaged out

[19:38:10] <cradek> none of the consumer PC world is reliable/replaceable/repeatable
[19:39:11] <taiden> well sure but there's always bad good better best
[19:40:56] <cradek> do you have a place that has old PCs? We have a goodwill that's just electronics here. You could take a livecd and test them until you find a good one.
[19:41:33] <cradek> I think they're all $40 each there (full machine with a stupid windows license)
[19:41:34] <frallzor> archivist fancy =)
[19:41:34] <jdh> that would be cool
[19:41:37] <jdh> how much are they?
[19:42:01] <cradek> it's either $39 or $49, I don't remember for sure
[19:42:02] <taiden> not that i am familiar with
[19:42:13] <taiden> looks like the D525MW is officially backordered

[20:12:08] <Diony> Is it possible to use parameter to define axis selection? For example I want to do something like "g0 #<axis> #<value>" where "#<axis> = Z" and "#<value>=10".

[20:14:18] <archivist> Diony, you can choose whether a line is used or not so branch over one or the other
[20:15:59] <Diony> So I need to the test #<axis> value in conditionnal structure (if) and duplicate code?
[20:16:20] <Diony> No other ways?
[20:18:04] <archivist> other ways may be less sensible
[20:18:55] <jdh> generate the final code from a script
[20:19:00] <jdh> use m4!
[20:20:18] -!- phantoneD [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[20:20:51] <archivist> using a port to switch the axis connections, making a hal comp etc
[20:21:09] <Diony> The idea is writing a subroutine (o call) with parameter for probing purpose. One of this parameter is the axis onlong the probe will be done.
[20:21:18] <Diony> Ok I understand the idea
[20:21:36] <Diony> I will continue with "if" ;)
[20:21:59] <archivist> I think there is an example of a probing routine somewhere
[20:22:09] <Diony> and use copy-paste

[20:23:11] <Diony> It's not a big deal to write the gcode for this

[21:34:50] <taide1> hey guys
[21:34:58] <taide1> im getting problems with lost steps at low speeds with my gecko g540
[21:35:12] <taide1> any suggestions of where to start?
[21:35:23] <andypugh> Slipping or stalling?
[21:35:29] <taide1> stalling
[21:35:34] <andypugh> Under load or at high speed?
[21:35:40] <Jymmm> andypugh: what are you attempting to do?
[21:35:43] <taide1> only low speeds
[21:35:49] <taide1> and it seem sonly on my z axis
[21:35:49] <andypugh> Jymmm: Spindle encoder
[21:35:56] <Jymmm> andypugh: ah
[21:36:15] <andypugh> taide1: The motor/driver might just not be strong enough
[21:36:40] <taide1> hmm
[21:36:49] <taide1> i suppose that could be the case
[21:36:53] <JT-Shop> what voltage are you using?
[21:36:54] <taide1> they are 381ozin keling motors
[21:36:57] <taide1> 49v
[21:37:07] <taide1> it's very definite
[21:37:12] <JT-Shop> IIRC that is max for the 540
[21:37:12] <taide1> even no load
[21:37:16] <andypugh> Direct drive?
[21:37:25] <taide1> below 10 ipm it seems to skip all steps
[21:37:44] <taide1> it's 3/8 12 two start acme
[21:37:45] <andypugh> Ah, hmm, that's strange
[21:37:47] <taide1> delrin nuts
[21:37:57] <andypugh> So, it will move fast but not slow?
[21:38:00] <taide1> yeah
[21:38:11] <taide1> sorry the z is 1 start
[21:38:14] <taide1> will move 90 ipm no problem
[21:38:19] <taide1> 10 ipm no problem
[21:38:19] <andypugh> Congratulations. That's a new one.
[21:38:21] <taide1> 5ipm no can do
[21:38:38] <andypugh> 8-wire motor?
[21:38:41] <taide1> i can do 90 ipm runs over and over without any loss in accuracy
[21:38:42] <taide1> 4 wire
[21:39:07] <taide1> yep it's doing it right now
[21:39:09] <Jymmm> Call Mariss and ask =)
[21:39:13] <taide1> helical interpolation down
[21:39:19] <taide1> z moves on DRO
[21:39:23] <taide1> completely still in real life
[21:39:38] <andypugh> Talk to gecko, that sounds like a bust drive.
[21:39:53] <taide1> things can never go as planned can they? :P
[21:40:26] <taide1> im going to give my gecko a rest and see what happens in 10 min
[21:40:28] <andypugh> It might be that the switch from microstepping to full stepping is only working in full-step mode
[21:40:33] <r00t-Shed> i wish i could do 90ipm and not 5.
[21:40:38] <Jymmm> taide1: Mariss is a really nice guy to talk with, I'm sure he could provide some insight for you.
[21:40:50] <taide1> who is mariss?
[21:40:53] <andypugh> Yeahm 90ipm sounds like a monster axsi.
[21:41:05] <Jymmm> taide1: The head Cheese at Gecko Drive
[21:41:10] <taide1> my x and y is 180 ipm :P
[21:41:29] <taide1> hmmm head cheese
[21:42:17] <Jymmm> Hell, he mihgt be the one answering the phone if he's not too busy.
[21:42:19] <taide1> would overheating cause an issue liek this do you think?
[21:42:28] <taide1> of the g540
[21:42:33] <Jymmm> do youhave heat sinks?
[21:42:37] <taide1> none
[21:42:43] <taide1> it's in open air but it gets real dusty
[21:42:49] <Jymmm> is it hot to the touch? both sides?
[21:42:55] <taide1> it is yes but
[21:43:00] <taide1> not so i can't hold it
[21:43:14] <Jymmm> Well, heat sink it and find out
[21:43:30] <taide1> is there one that people prefer to use?
[21:43:39] <Jymmm> grab a fan as a test
[21:43:41] <taide1> i live in a place that doesn't really have computer stores where i can just go get one
[21:43:52] <taide1> so i will have to order
[21:44:06] <Jymmm> taide1: Not PC fan, $15 20' box fan

[21:44:35] <andypugh> I would say talk to Gecko, this is a _really_ unusual problem for a stepper. Either they will recognise it immediately or want to know how it is possible.
[21:44:56] <Jymmm> andypugh: it may not be if it's not heatsinked
[21:45:16] <Jymmm> taide1: you dont have a desk/floor fan right now as a test?
[21:45:46] <Jymmm> Raise the drives up so air can flow underneith
[21:45:48] <r00t-Shed> just blow on it
[21:46:16] <r00t-Shed> :o
[21:47:52] <JT-Shop> taide1: did you set the morphing point on each axis?
[21:48:57] <JT-Shop> andypugh: they don't switch but rather a smooth transition from 10 micro to full step
[21:49:36] <Tom_itx> i can't tell when they do or don't on mine

[22:05:54] <taiden> a guy named marcus i believe
[22:05:57] <Jymmm> Who?
[22:06:01] <Jymmm> ah
[22:06:08] <taiden> maybe it was mariss?
[22:06:28] <Jymmm> what did he say specificlly?
[22:06:37] <taiden> i told him what was happening
[22:06:38] <taiden> and he said
[22:06:43] <andypugh> I am not sure how it can be software
[22:06:43] <taiden> that there is no way for the gecko to lose steps
[22:06:49] <taiden> that it's something before or after the gecko
[22:07:13] <taiden> he seemed to think it was something software specific
[22:07:34] <Jymmm> Well, I'd still try the fan, it's the easiest thing to test right now
[22:07:41] <taiden> I'll give that a go
[22:07:42] <andypugh> Well, Halscope might tell you if you are actually creating steps.
[22:07:43] <Jymmm> KISS
[22:08:06] <taiden> heat does make sense
[22:08:08] <taiden> because
[22:08:21] <taiden> in the morning it did that same subroutine four times without any error, and has done so many times in the past
[22:08:29] <andypugh> Hmm, I wonder if perhaps there is a Charge Pump problem, and the steps are somehow making it work?
[22:08:38] <Jymmm> taide1: Quit talking and go grab a fan!
[22:08:40] <taiden> LOL
[22:08:47] <taiden> i think the charge pump is turned off right now?
[22:08:48] <andypugh> Is this only a problem with one axis?
[22:09:09] <taiden> i'll go do a few tests right now
[22:09:10] <taiden> brb
[22:09:15] <taiden> but
[22:09:23] <Jymmm> no butts, GO!
[22:09:24] <taiden> typically it's z axis because it happens on helical interpolation
[22:09:31] <taiden> slow downward Z on a large radius

[22:23:20] <andypugh> Talking of Mesa cards, these are very convenient: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/discrete-wire-housing/6802329/ They plug discrete wires direct to headers, and you can easily move the pins around in the headers. The bundle of pink wires here https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/OT4lV-DVGZyqVXqP_pW2Q9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink goes into to one.
[22:24:10] <Tom_itx> yeah i forgot what those were called though
[22:24:15] <Tom_itx> there's a series name for them
[22:24:33] <Tom_itx> i have the individual pins i put heatshrink over
[22:24:44] <Tom_itx> running low on housings
[22:25:16] <andypugh> You do need a teeny and unusual crimping too, though.
[22:25:32] <Tom_itx> i got a cheap one from RS
[22:25:36] <Tom_itx> works good on those
[22:25:47] <andypugh> Wel, it is entirely conventional apart from the teeniness
[22:25:51] <Tom_itx> C-grid maybe?
[22:25:53] <Tom_itx> something like that
[22:26:10] <Tom_itx> same as pc fan etc plugs
[22:26:41] <Tom_itx> yeah they're called C-Grid

[22:30:13] <Tom_itx> i should get some more for my limit switches since they plug in the 2nd 7i43 header
[22:30:41] <andypugh> Anyway, my contribution to Mesa card development is on hold until I can get back into the file server.

[22:31:47] <Tom_itx> i'm about to take this one down and put the other hdd in to try 8.04 on this via pc

[22:35:23] <Tom_L> no idea, i stumble along with linux
[22:36:24] <taide1> hey all
[22:36:26] <taide1> question:
[22:36:34] <andypugh> And I am in. Randomly. No idea what changed
[22:36:38] <taide1> can any of you get your drives to go less than F1 feed?
[22:36:58] <Tom_L> heh
[22:37:02] <JT-Shop> sure
[22:37:12] <Tom_L> taide1 why not?
[22:37:20] <taide1> mine works at f1
[22:37:24] <taide1> doesn't work less than f1
[22:37:30] <taide1> gecko is chilly
[22:37:35] <taide1> didn't know if it was integer only
[22:37:39] <Tom_L> i would have no reason to go less though
[22:37:55] <taide1> have you actually tried it?
[22:37:59] <Tom_L> no
[22:38:08] <taide1> give it a go if you dont mind
[22:38:13] <Tom_L> it would be like watching grass grow
[22:39:11] <JT-Shop> my plasma is humming along at F0.01 atm...
[22:39:29] <taide1> strange
[22:39:35] <Tom_itx> gimme a sec
[22:39:38] <JT-Shop> so it will take 40 hours to go 24"
[22:39:42] <taide1> haha
[22:39:48] <taide1> so what would cause my setup to not handle anything below f1?
[22:40:06] <DaViruz> wrong decimal delimiter?
[22:40:16] <taide1> .
[22:40:20] <DaViruz> that's the only thing it could be if 1 works but 0.99 doesnt
[22:40:25] <JT-Shop> anything including your machine
[22:40:27] <taide1> well DRO shows movement
[22:40:34] <taide1> stepper does zilch
[22:41:01] <DaViruz> some issue with timings then?
[22:41:15] <DaViruz> but the odds of it occuring at exactly F1 are astronomical
[22:41:17] <taide1> i just did a 2 inch movement at f1 and no missed steps
[22:41:39] <taide1> f0.999 works
[22:41:52] <taide1> f0.5 does nothing
[22:42:17] <Tom_itx> mine also works fine at F.01
[22:42:18] <andypugh> What does F0,5 do?
[22:42:50] <taide1> gives MDI error
[22:42:57] <taide1> "bad character ',' used"
[22:43:03] <JT-Shop> as expected
[22:43:05] <andypugh> That's what I expected, but it was worth testing.
[22:43:31] <Tom_itx> it's like listening to a watch ticking
[22:43:39] <JT-Shop> taide1: and this problem is only on your Z axis?
[22:43:40] <andypugh> You have a straightforward HAL, no float-to-int conversions?
[22:44:09] <DaViruz> maybe it misses steps due to microstepping being unable to overcome friction?
[22:44:27] <DaViruz> whereas the more aggressive acceleration at higher feeds are able to overcome it
[22:46:13] -!- Tom_itx has quit []
[22:46:50] <taide1> get this
[22:46:53] <JT-Shop> that doesn't sound right as 1/10 of a step should just work... unless the morphing point is not set properly and it morphs to full step at a low speed
[22:46:59] <taide1> over time
[22:47:06] <taide1> the minimum feed rate it will handle
[22:47:08] <taide1> increases
[22:47:10] <andypugh> I can see ways for it to be a bizarre motor wiring fault. I can see other ways for it to be a bizzarre signal wiring fault (at high enough frequency the steps get coupled-through capaitatively)
[22:47:11] <taide1> IE
[22:47:17] <taide1> 2 minutes ago it would do 0.77
[22:47:26] <taide1> one minute ago it would only do 0.82
[22:47:31] <taide1> and now it will only do 0.89
[22:47:38] <taide1> so
[22:47:40] <taide1> heat?
[22:48:00] <andypugh> The first test to do is to reconfigure HAL so that Z is on another driver, then swap the motor wiring so Z is on that driver, and see if the problem is still there. If it isn't then go back to Gecko.
[22:48:26] <taide1> is there a quick way to do this?
[22:48:32] <taide1> or is this a stepconf job
[22:48:38] * JT-Shop loves it when people ignore your questions
[22:48:53] <andypugh> Well, I could do it in 2mins with Gedit and ascrewdriver.
[22:48:57] <JT-Shop> just swap the plugs
[22:49:07] <taide1> sorry jt I missed it
[22:49:10] <taide1> not an ignore
[22:51:47] <taide1> when I do x axis at 0.02 it works
[22:51:50] <taide1> but it pulses
[22:52:16] <andypugh> It probably would
[22:52:16] <taide1> D-D-D-D-D-d-D-D-D-D-D-d-D-D-D-D-D-d-
[22:52:22] <taide1> i figure that's the 10th step though
[22:52:45] <taide1> maybe it would be worth 'calibrating' them again
[22:52:58] <taide1> each axis
[22:53:24] <r00t4rd3d> http://www.woodsolutions.com/planer-sander.htm
[22:53:32] <r00t4rd3d> check out the duplicator at the bottom
[22:53:37] <DaViruz> taide1: is the Z the same in both directions?
[22:53:48] <taide1> actually no
[22:54:07] <taide1> in the + direction it will handle a lower feed
[22:54:14] <taide1> but only by about 0.01 ipm

[23:03:02] <taide1> actually
[23:03:07] <JT-Shop> cedar
[23:03:16] <taide1> the trim pot for 'calibrating' each axis
[23:03:26] <r00t4rd3d> they have that at lowes/homedepot?
[23:03:31] <taide1> only hits the 'sweet spot' at the furthest end of travel
[23:03:36] <JT-Shop> the trim pot is for setting the morphing point
[23:03:39] <taide1> not in the middle, idk if this is typical
[23:03:54] <JT-Shop> did you not set it as per the instructions?
[23:04:00] <taide1> i had done this previously but decided to try again
[23:04:01] <jdh> are you going to paint or stain, or neither.
[23:04:05] <JT-Shop> there is no typical
[23:04:13] <taide1> okay
[23:04:26] <r00t4rd3d> stain my cuts then sand the top so the lettering stands out
[23:04:46] <JT-Shop> you set it for some rpm as stated in the manual and adjust for smooth running
[23:04:55] <r00t4rd3d> then poly or shlack it
[23:05:54] <JT-Shop> 203v ADJUST: This trimpot adjusts the motor for the smoothest possible low-speed operation. Set the motor speed to about 1/2 revolution per second and then turn the trimpot until a distinct null is noted in the motor�s vibration. This will result in the most even microstep placement for a given motor and power supply voltage.
[23:06:14] <taide1> yeah
[23:06:16] <JT-Shop> check the 540 manua
[23:06:17] <r00t4rd3d> jt why you say cedar, does it cut good? clean lines..
[23:06:18] <JT-Shop> l
[23:06:27] <JT-Shop> cause Ricky likes it

[23:25:16] <andypugh> taide: if the Z motor is now on the A drive, and all that has changed is the HAL and the plug, then that says the Z drve is bad.

[23:26:32] <JT-Shop> that is one of many reasons I prefer the G251X over the G540
[23:26:36] <Tom_L> maybe not a good candidate for linuxcnc?
[23:26:53] -!- sendoushi has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[23:27:06] <Jymmm> andypugh: Hardly, but a simple test of just grabbing a fan just makes sense and is easy
[23:27:08] <JT-Shop> taide1: is the 540 mounted to a heat sink?
[23:27:15] <taide1> nope, just in free air
[23:27:16] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: no
[23:27:23] <JT-Shop> bad news for you then
[23:27:38] <taide1> ?
[23:27:44] <Tom_L> it should be on a heatsink
[23:28:02] <andypugh> I still think that this screams "bad drive"
[23:28:02] <JT-Shop> didn't read the manual carefully I'd bet
[23:28:08] <Tom_L> at all?
[23:28:18] <JT-Shop> after you melted it yea it is bad now
[23:28:23] <taide1> iirc the manual states that a heatsink isn't necessary
[23:28:45] <taide1> unless it is above 180f surface temp which it's not
[23:28:49] <taide1> i'd have to check again though
[23:28:59] * Tom_L gives taide1 a hunk of heatsink http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/psu/heatsink_bulk.jpg
[23:29:44] <JT-Shop> yea the case must be somewhat a heat sink
[23:30:01] <JT-Shop> ADJUST: This trimpot adjusts the motor for the smoothest possible low-speed operation. Set the motor speed to about 1/2 revolution per second and then turn the trimpot until a distinct null is noted in the motor�s vibration. This will result in the most even microstep placement for a given motor and power supply voltage.
[23:30:02] <andypugh> Jymmm: Depends, If I wanted to "grab a fan" I would need to sober up, take the motorbike to work, borrow a test car, find a 24 hour fan shop, take it home, return the car, take the bike home.
[23:30:08] <JT-Shop> While operating at its maximums the G540 can get up to 70C (158F) comfortably; heatsinking is mandatory if the temperature gets above that range.
[23:30:16] <JT-Shop> c&p didn't work
[23:30:24] <Jymmm> taide1: Any control box containing a G540 must have an adequate input and exhaust fan or an exhaust fan and an internal fan to circulate the air. The red graph shows if the G540 is left in still air or in a sealed environment under full load it will overheat, which may result in damage to the G540
[23:30:43] <Jymmm> http://www.geckodrive.com/g540-heatsinking
[23:30:47] <taide1> lol
[23:30:55] <JT-Shop> another reason I like the G251X
[23:30:56] <taide1> so that info is in a document separate from the user manual
[23:31:12] <JT-Shop> I quoted from the user manual
[23:31:19] <taide1> i plead documentation oversight
[23:31:20] <taide1> yes you did
[23:31:25] <taide1> im reading it now
[23:31:29] <JT-Shop> On the Geckodrive website is a document titled �G540 Heatsink Experiment� that discusses issues of overheating.
[23:32:04] <Tom_L> does it include mention of blue smoke?
[23:32:10] <JT-Shop> andypugh: take the near a car to work
[23:32:22] <Tom_L> base thread 781287 servo thread 997557
[23:32:27] <Tom_L> maybe not a good candidate for linuxcnc?
[23:32:31] <JT-Shop> YIKES!
[23:32:41] <andypugh> Tom_L: I can beat that, but only with the VM
[23:32:43] <Jymmm> taide1: From the manual...
[23:32:49] <Jymmm> The G540, being a stepper drive, is meant to get warm. While operating at its maximums the G540 can get
[23:32:50] <Jymmm> up to 70C (158F) comfortably; heatsinking is mandatory if the temperature gets above that range. On the Geckodrive website is
[23:32:50] <Jymmm> a document titled “G540 Heatsink Experiment” that discusses issues of overheating. If the G540 is in a control cabinet or an
[23:32:50] <Jymmm> area with limited airflow it is required to put an intake and exhaust fan in the enclosure. Please read the cited document if you
[23:32:51] <Jymmm> have further questions.
[23:32:54] <andypugh> Tom_L: Intel chopset?
[23:32:54] <Tom_L> it's the old via c3 eden board

[23:32:59] <Tom_L> 512m ram
[23:33:08] <taide1> I'm unable to find the heatsink document on geckodrive.com
[23:33:09] <andypugh> RAM shouldn't matter
[23:33:22] <taide1> were you able to find it on there jymmm?
[23:33:22] <Tom_L> it's higher than that now
[23:33:27] <Jymmm> taide1: I JUT LINKED YOU TO IT
[23:33:43] <Tom_L> andypugh do you think it would work parport to the mesa cards?
[23:33:46] <JT-Shop> crap you just made me spill my cabnet savion http://www.geckodrive.com/g540-heatsinking
[23:34:02] <andypugh> Tom_L: Not even that
[23:34:06] <Tom_L> ok
[23:34:10] <Jymmm> taide1: Your problem is your not reading, tsk tsk tsk
[23:34:18] <andypugh> Try the SMI fix?
[23:34:24] <Tom_L> i guess it'll just sit on irc where it's been the last few years
[23:34:40] <Tom_L> works good for that
[23:34:45] <taide1> haha
[23:34:54] <taide1> i go to do something and come back and we're 3 pages down
[23:35:01] <taide1> thanks for the link again
[23:35:14] <Jymmm> taide1: GO GET A DAMN FAN ALREADY and just try it
[23:35:32] <JT-Shop> too late Jymmm hes fried that drive
[23:35:57] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: probably, bt someone else on here had the same issue and a fan resolved it
[23:36:02] <JT-Shop> andypugh: have you tries Martell VS?
[23:36:04] <Tom_L> now servo thread: 997556 base thread: 1014105
[23:36:10] <andypugh> I think so
[23:37:04] <JT-Shop> I just finished a bottle and real close to Remy Martin
[23:37:35] <taide1> well I feel like an ass now
[23:37:43] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: by bottle, you mean handy cardboard frig box with wine bag inside?
[23:37:51] <taide1> I rtfm a half dozen times before powering up a few months ago
[23:38:00] <JT-Shop> no, Jymmm a real bottle with a cork
[23:38:03] <taide1> i wish this heatsink article was in the g540 manual
[23:38:08] <taide1> would have probably saved me an axis
[23:38:10] <Jymmm> taide1: IT IS
[23:38:15] <taide1> no, it's not
[23:38:18] <JT-Shop> taide1: you just got some experiance that's all
[23:38:21] <Jymmm> Yes, it is.
[23:38:28] <andypugh> taide1: Do you need the A?
[23:38:36] <taide1> this article is not in the manual, it's referenced briefly
[23:38:46] <taide1> it basically says "you dont need a heatsink but if you do read this"
[23:38:57] <Jymmm> taide1: Page 6 of 10 of the manual
[23:39:05] <JT-Shop> yea that grabbed my attention for sure
[23:39:25] <taide1> 6/10 is a wiring diagram
[23:39:29] <taide1> live and learn i guess
[23:39:33] <JT-Shop> taide1: your running max volts and the Z is the biggest load usually...
[23:39:54] <Jymmm> taide1: in the pdf manual search for "PROBLEM: G540 GETS HOT " pdf dated March 5, 2012
[23:40:08] <JT-Shop> I like to say if you don't get what you expect you just got some experiance
[23:40:24] <JT-Shop> so learn from the experiance
[23:40:40] <taide1> luckily i dont need a fourth axis
[23:40:57] <taide1> but i was hoping to use it eventually
[23:41:07] <andypugh> That's a solution, then. Or you might be able to wangle or pay for a repair.
[23:41:11] <Jymmm> taide1: http://i45.tinypic.com/so1wuv.jpg
[23:41:25] <JT-Shop> or just get a G251X when the time comes
[23:41:38] <andypugh> I don't think a well-designed drive should kill itself, and yours seems to have died in a very odd way.
[23:41:45] <Jymmm> taide1: Now, did you try a fan yet?
[23:42:17] <taide1> i just found a junk cpu heatsink in the corner of my basement? awkward
[23:42:27] <Jymmm> taide1: not PC fan, a room fan
[23:42:45] <andypugh> That link says "return it for an evaluation" I think I would. Your symptoms sound unusual for a borked drive
[23:42:46] <taide1> yeah i got you but i can also just attach this heatsink too for giggles
[23:42:49] <Jymmm> 6 to 20"
[23:43:08] <Jymmm> taide1: WHY DO YOU KEEP MAKING THIS SO FUCKIG COMPLICATED?!
[23:43:17] <Jymmm> fuck!
[23:43:21] <taide1> because i dont have a giant box fan
[23:43:22] <JT-Shop> relax Jymmm
[23:43:25] <taide1> i live in maine
[23:43:28] <taide1> it's basically canada haha

[23:43:49] <taide1> i'm trying to diagnose with what i have
[23:43:59] <JT-Shop> ok send me some maine lobster
[23:44:00] <taide1> well that was interesting
[23:44:08] <taide1> sorry for being such a borkjob
[23:44:09] <JT-Shop> LOL
[23:44:22] <taide1> you paypal me i'd be glad to send you lobster
[23:44:27] <taide1> it's like $4 a pound right now
[23:44:33] <Tom_L> ok 8.04 just froze up
[23:44:34] <JT-Shop> is that good?
[23:44:45] <taide1> yes
[23:45:03] <taide1> surf and turf outside of the state with a 1.25 lb maine lobster is generally$30-40
[23:45:23] <taide1> lobster is cheaper than mcdonalds here
[23:45:27] <JT-Shop> we had a couple from Maine here a couple of years ago and sent for some lobster to have a lobster boil that was fun
[23:45:41] <andypugh> Never eaten Lobster, happy to keep it that way.
[23:45:52] <JT-Shop> shit I need to run up there and get a sack full
[23:46:23] <andypugh> Arthropods have too many legs
[23:46:35] <JT-Shop> just sea roaches really
[23:47:38] <JT-Shop> x axis has moved 0.685" so far at 0.01 ipm
[23:48:56] <Tom_L> don't try homing it at that feedrate
[23:49:04] <JT-Shop> LOL
