[01:10:13] <jdh> The slitting saw cut quickly with fluent swarf without burr, is easy to operate.
[01:12:32] <Tom_itx> got a pic of your saw setup?
[01:12:48] <Tom_itx> i have an arbor for some on my sherline but i haven't used them yet
[01:13:08] <jdh> don't have one. Was looking... ran across that description
[01:22:31] <jp_> any of you guys think an arduino would serv as a good microstepping controller?
[01:26:36] <jdh> and drive a pair of h-bridges?
[01:26:53] <jp_> you got it
[01:27:11] <jdh> you can, but why?
[01:27:56] <jp_> high current cheap drive
[01:28:10] <jdh> vs. a tb6560?
[01:28:16] -!- Tom_itx has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
[01:28:26] <jp_> what current will it do
[01:28:41] <jdh> 3amps per phase?
[01:28:43] <jdh> maybe 2.5
[01:28:47] <jp_> then yes
[01:28:50] <jp_> 12A
[01:28:59] <jdh> that's a lot of stepper.
[01:29:12] <jp_> yes it is

[01:32:05] <Tom_itx> jp_ what's this going on?
[01:33:15] <jp_> nothing as of right now just an idea
[01:33:40] <jp_> just want a drive thats capable of 10A or so
[01:33:51] <Tom_itx> why so much?
[01:34:10] <Tom_itx> the gecko 203v goes to 7A
[01:36:04] <jp_> i know i dont want a gecko
[01:36:30] <jp_> if i just went out and bought one what would be the fun in that
[01:36:48] <jdh> yep.
[01:37:16] <jp_> this way ther will most likely be some smoke and fireworks
[01:37:53] <Tom_itx> i had fun making the supply and control box for one
[01:38:14] <Tom_itx> http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/psu/psu_index.php
[01:38:45] <Tom_itx> i should get about 18A from that supply
[01:41:52] <jp_> it would be nice to come up with a one size fits all microstepping drive
[01:42:34] <jp_> theres some nice h-bridges out ther now that can help make that happen
[01:43:06] <Tom_itx> allegro makes some
[01:49:15] <jp_> i have some samples on the way SMT though
[01:49:52] <jp_> Thank god the heat sink pad is on the top of the chip
[01:49:54] <Tom_itx> make sure you get a good thermal contact on the center pad
[01:50:05] <Tom_itx> it's not on the bottom?
[01:50:15] <Tom_itx> it must be tqfp or such then
[01:50:19] <jp_> 12A RMS 24 A Peak
[01:50:31] <Tom_itx> qfm etc all have bottom center pads
[01:50:52] <jp_> it's a weird one BSSOP
[01:51:08] <Tom_itx> you realize you gotta get the heat away from it
[01:51:20] <Tom_itx> or it won't perform like that
[01:51:25] <jp_> yes
[01:51:42] <Tom_itx> the leads probably won't handle that current
[01:52:22] <jp_> im sure it will its rated for it
[01:52:42] <Tom_itx> there are to220 mosfets rated for 50A too
[01:52:47] <jp_> why make something rated for it if it will just burn and die
[01:52:53] <Tom_itx> no way the leads will take that
[01:53:19] <jp_> 50A RMS?
[01:54:09] <jp_> or 50A peak

[01:54:50] <Tom_itx> 220 package
[01:57:31] <jp_> @ max allowable junction temp so just keep it cool

[02:58:14] <jp_> I plan to use linuxCNC
[02:58:59] <uw> anybody with a laser cutter?
[02:59:16] <jp_> theres been a few
[02:59:27] <uw> looking to get a case cut
[02:59:59] <jp_> no job shops around your area
[03:01:43] <jp_> i have a waterjet job shop around the corner from me 30$ to cut a strip off of a 1" granite counter top
[03:01:47] <uw> i dont think any that have a laser cutter.
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:25100
[03:02:28] <jdh> I'd like one of those cases.
[03:02:51] <jp_> cool!!
[03:02:54] <uw> yea the guy wont make it with out the stupid logo on the bottom
[03:03:10] <skunkworks__> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKjKfyxD79E
[03:03:15] <jdh> wonder if I could just cut something similar on my router.
[03:04:02] <uw> i was thinking of puting one on my mill. but id have to redo it to offset for the bit. then the light tubes need to be deltwith and all
[03:05:01] <uw> would be terrible, but it would surely be easier for someone with a laser machine
[03:06:12] <jdh> there's a dxf on the page. I'll try cutting one out of .25" hdpe this weekend if teh weather sucks.
[03:07:11] <skunkworks__> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=433l5AjHtVc
[03:07:12] <uw> nice if it works out let me know
[03:08:13] <skunkworks__> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6WnkmzP1ZY
[03:08:32] <jdh> I think it might rely on the 90degree cuts to stay together
[03:09:24] <jp_> skunkworks: Ive seen those just wondering if anyone here had one
[03:09:54] <uw> yea because of the interior fillets that would be created, you might have to do some afterward touchups with a file or something
[03:10:09] <jdh> the dxf is all splines
[03:10:45] <skunkworks__> awallin started one.

[13:17:46] <joe9> when I do "Open File" in Axis GUI, it shows me the directory in "PROGRAM_PREFIX". Is there anything I can do to make it show the current directory of the "current open file"?
[13:17:56] <joe9> I know I can change the directory.
[13:18:22] <joe9> but, just curious, if there is a method to do so automatically.
[13:20:40] <archivist> fix the source
[13:26:32] <cradek> yeah there's not a config option for that
[13:29:17] <archivist> were old P3's ok , I have just tested one with about 14000 jitter and only 260meg of ram!
[13:30:49] <Jymmm> archivist: Yeah, just had to find one without onboard anything
[13:31:36] <Jymmm> Even if you disabled in BIOS, sometimes with jump latency up for some reason. *shrug*
[13:31:47] <Jymmm> s/with/would/
[13:32:21] <archivist> these are old Compaq deskpro, I got 4 about a year ago

[14:49:51] <pcw_home> I suspect (but do not know) that the problem is that the latency test doesn't actually do anything
[14:49:53] <pcw_home> (that is it does no I/O that might be blocked by shared hardware)
[14:51:27] <archivist> or its timing mechanism is delayed as well so fails to see an error
[14:53:09] <archivist> I was thinking yesterday about documentation for spindle input on parallel port should include leeway for latency errors
[14:56:39] -!- broofa has quit [Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.]
[14:57:09] <pcw_home> The situation I was testing is detected by LinuxCNC (real time errors) but these are not reflected at all in the latency test ( at least for the servo thread I will try the base thread today)
[15:00:23] <pcw_home> so all this really means is that the latency test is not a good indicator of actual servo thread jitter performance (a motherboard with ~3 times worse servo thread numbers in the latency test is actually more than 5X better than a n Atom motherboard )
[15:02:17] <cradek> pcw_home: is it someting in your servo thread before motion?
[15:13:54] <pcw_home> its the standard HM2 example file modified for the 5I25 let me take a look
[15:17:57] <pcw_home> addf hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.read servo-thread
[15:17:58] <pcw_home> addf motion-command-handler servo-thread
[15:18:00] <pcw_home> addf motion-controller servo-thread
[15:18:01] <pcw_home> are the first lnes
[15:18:23] <cradek> pretty sure that's right
[15:18:40] <cradek> can you monitor between each of those somehow?
[15:18:51] <awallin> could one do a "loopback" latency test where one IO pin outputs an edge when the thread runs, and another IO pin is used to measure the edge. Would this catch the real-time errors you are seeing? Or is an external oscilloscope or freq-counter required?
[15:18:53] <cradek> maybe one of them sometimes runs a long time
[15:20:32] <pcw_home> My WAG is that I/O access is blocked by video DMA
[15:21:25] <pcw_home> (jitter is noticeable worse when moving windows around)
[15:21:36] <cradek> hm.
[15:22:29] <pcw_home> awallin: Linuxcnc catches the errors but the latency test does not
[15:22:58] <cradek> that's why I'm suspicious of the zillion lines of code that run before that test checks the clock
[15:23:20] <cradek> but if moving windows changes it, you're probably right
[15:24:55] <pcw_home> Unless theres some other shared resource locking causing the trouble (but its motherboard specific)

[16:06:22] <L84Supper> AMD supports coreboot for all their chipsets since the 7xx, Google posted support for the Intel Sandybridge
[16:07:27] <L84Supper> if you're using a mainboard with a closed BIOS or EFI you're really just counting on luck that it works
[16:08:17] -!- JT-Shop has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[16:11:55] <L84Supper> AMD G series boards with SB8xx + coreboot have jitter ~10K with onchip GPU
[16:12:28] <pcw_home> Latency test jitter? I dont trust that anymore ;-)
[16:14:06] <skunkworks> pcw_home, I suppose you cannot test latency with a plugged in video card?
[16:14:15] <skunkworks> (I still buy pci ones...)
[16:14:47] <pcw_home> Yes I can try that (the Jetway has 2 PCI slots and one PCIE slot)
[16:14:59] <skunkworks> it would be interesting if it is still a shared memory issue - just not noticed as much...
[16:15:16] <pcw_home> Might well be
[16:15:58] <L84Supper> I only use servos, so I don't have any feedback for stepper applications
[16:16:10] <L84Supper> no pun intended
[16:16:48] <pcw_home> I always wondered why people started having troubles above 1 KHz servo thread (with Atom MBs)
[16:16:55] -!- JT-Shop [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[16:17:07] <pcw_home> AMD may have the same issue
[16:17:46] <pcw_home> I'll have to try one of those Hudson Mini ITX MBs
[16:17:46] <skunkworks> well - I have had issues with faster base threads - I thought I narrowed it down to classic ladder in my situation.. (THe K&T has a pcie video card)
[16:18:28] <pcw_home> A 'scope is a pretty hard to fool latency tester
[16:20:44] <pcw_home> 6KHz servo thread is fine on my slow Core Duo (2180?) with sserial (I think 8 -10 KHz is possible without)
[16:20:50] <L84Supper> http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=E350M1 has a coreboot patch

[18:15:34] <ssi> for 60W you can get away with a small water pump... bigger lasers, use a chiller. Chillers aren't all that expensive

[18:32:07] <Jymmm> or the max your 120VAC outlet can handle =)
[18:33:28] <Jymmm> and you'll need two 15A+ circuits... one for the laser, another for the pump/chiller and blower

[21:25:15] <archivist> PCW, I just looked at the timediff hal comp that latency test uses, seems to only check jitter from the last cycle so a slow drift wont be noticed

[21:27:13] -!- Keknom [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[21:33:21] <PCW> archivist: It might be interesting to hack some I/O code or memory block transfer into the latency test to see if it "sees" the real jitter
[21:35:35] <archivist> it compares this cycle with the last so a number of positive changes below the current maximum positive may not be seen so not updating jitter

[22:12:42] <JT-Shop> Tom_itx, did you indicate it after the probe?
[22:22:18] <Tom_itx> i really need to get a proper probe
[22:22:25] <Tom_itx> but i wanted to try it out
[22:24:17] <JT-Shop> how well do you think it measures?
[22:25:10] <Tom_itx> i'm not real pleased with the ball bearings / dowel pins as contact surfaces
[22:25:24] <Tom_itx> they need to be plated or use something different
[22:25:44] <Tom_itx> i had quite a bit of varying resistance when i measured it with the meter
[22:25:48] <JT-Shop> too much resistance?
[22:26:03] <Tom_itx> yeah it was pretty high
[22:26:09] <JT-Shop> maybe more spring pressure?
[22:26:16] <Tom_itx> i considered that
[22:26:22] <Tom_itx> i have more springs or i can wind another one
[22:26:55] <Tom_itx> i've never wound a push spring, just pull but it's probably the same idea
[22:27:33] <JT-Shop> yea just need space between each coil
[22:27:40] <Tom_itx> it's an experiment that could have had better results
[22:28:08] <JT-Shop> what voltage is going through the pin ball circuit?
[22:28:19] <Tom_itx> 5v
[22:28:34] <Tom_itx> well, ground completes the path
[22:28:49] <Tom_itx> but open is an open 7i43 pin
[22:28:51] <JT-Shop> I wonder if a higher voltage would work better
[22:29:02] <Tom_itx> not for very long :)
[22:29:28] <Tom_itx> i could add a debounce line to it probably too
[22:29:28] <JT-Shop> well with an isolation circuit....
[22:29:35] <Tom_itx> that helped the limit switches alot
[22:30:00] <JT-Shop> time to fetch some chow from town before the cocina closes
[22:30:14] <Tom_itx> part of the problem is the accuracy i was able to make the center piece that holds the 3 dowel pins
[22:30:31] <Tom_itx> if i had a 4th axis i could have gotten them alot closer
[22:31:56] <Tom_itx> mine's in the oven

[22:40:47] <Jymmm> Maybe use inductance instead of resistance
[22:42:12] <Jymmm> probe has a magnet on one end, and surrounded by coil(s), then just measure the change in iductance caused by the movemnt of the magnetic field.
[22:42:35] <Jymmm> no contact to be plared
[22:43:06] <Jymmm> plated

[22:45:26] <Jymmm> though I don't know if ferrious metals being probed could be shielded in just jogging the probe in place
[22:45:39] <Jymmm> (false positives)
[22:49:27] <jdh> we should outlaw alcohol.
