[10:36:05] <awallin> archivist: rasPI and/or beagleboard were discussed on the list at some point
[10:36:38] <awallin> I guess it depends on having the rtai kernel. most of those boards are ARM-based.
[10:37:05] <awallin> but it's hard to compete with an ITX/Atom board + mesa PCI-card for both performance and price I think
[10:40:37] <archivist> for me I think that is cheaper than an atom plus mesa cards
[10:41:28] <archivist> the manual link is dead so cant read more

[12:55:38] <L84Supper> archivist, http://www.robosan.com.tr/pdfs/CNCUSB%20manual.pdf looks like this might be the manual that covers the MK2
[12:57:38] <L84Supper> page #14 has the 9 axis version, there is a sticker covering the micro on the PCB, still not sure what part number it is
[12:57:50] -!- toastydeath has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[12:57:53] <archivist> the fact that it is 9 axis and has emc2 compatible gcode
[12:58:30] <L84Supper> probably an FPGA
[12:59:08] <archivist> no O codes
[13:02:36] -!- toastydeath [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[13:08:04] -!- mk0 has quit [Quit: Looking for access to www.icdd.com bases.]
[13:15:17] <archivist> help menu apparently points at the EMC2 g code reference
[13:15:56] <jdh> they seem to be made by planet-cnc.com. Manuals and demo software are available.
[13:16:03] <jdh> the Mk1 seems to be a PIC

[13:29:09] -!- uwe_ [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[13:34:19] <L84Supper> so it looks like it doesn't run EMC, and it's limited by USB interrupt latency
[13:35:49] <jdh> so, the controller doesn't run on the board, it is just an IO interface?
[13:36:27] <L84Supper> not the PIC version
[13:37:26] <L84Supper> and it would be possible to use an FPGA with a hard ARM cpu core to run EMC but that board doesn't have an FPGA that size or any external RAM
[13:39:00] <jdh> the boat is drifting with you.
[13:39:09] <L84Supper> http://code.google.com/p/miniemc2/ you could do something like this with http://www.xilinx.com/products/silicon-devices/epp/zynq-7000/index.htm
[13:39:13] <jdh> is there an emc/rtai for arm?
[13:39:18] <L84Supper> yes
[13:39:26] <L84Supper> well there is RTAI
[13:39:51] <L84Supper> checkout the google code link ^^
[13:40:44] <L84Supper> they used Xenomai vs RTAI
[13:42:37] <L84Supper> http://www.hardkernel.com/renewal_2011/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G133999328931 I've been waiting to see how they wired the IRQ's on these
[13:43:49] -!- sumpfralle has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
[13:44:07] <L84Supper> http://www.hardkernel.com/renewal_2011/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G134032695534 the ARM COM modules are supposed to be <$100
[13:46:54] <Jymmm> http://www.hardkernel.com/renewal_2011/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G133999328931
[13:47:37] <L84Supper> the dev board + COM is $129
[13:47:48] <Jymmm> Heh, uses 50pin header, JUST LIKE MESA!
[13:48:18] <L84Supper> the COM are rumored <$100

[13:49:15] <joe9> is there any mechanism in axis gui that will enable me to call "Home All" after a M6?
[13:49:16] <L84Supper> not sure how fast the GPIO are as well
[13:50:22] <Jymmm> http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6DWnwMZxIW0
[13:50:36] micges_ is now known as micges
[13:51:01] <jdh> MESA uses the same 50 pin layout that has been used by others for years.
[13:51:13] <L84Supper> the Freescale imx6 are delayed until next year for availability for mere mortals, those might be a possibility as well since the prices are in the $15-30 range
[13:51:42] <L84Supper> http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/taxonomy.jsp?code=IMX6X_SERIES
[13:53:55] <Jymmm> But if you're ging to do ARM, might as well hack a tablet instead; LCD and touch screen all built in.
[13:53:59] <Jymmm> going
[13:54:25] <L84Supper> the problem with tablets has been locked down bootloaders and lack of fast GPIO or PCIe
[13:54:29] -!- paideia has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
[13:54:39] <L84Supper> it's been frustrating
[13:54:57] <Jymmm> locked down bootloaders?
[13:56:23] <L84Supper> the boot process is secured with hardware encryption
[13:56:44] <Jymmm> encryption or obfuscated?
[13:57:04] <L84Supper> you could use one of the rooting tools to live the the factory bootloader and run Linux
[13:57:11] <L84Supper> encryption
[13:58:17] <Jymmm> link?
[13:58:27] <L84Supper> but the you're still left with GPU driver issues and no fast IO
[13:59:03] <Jymmm> and why ARM?
[14:00:51] <L84Supper> heh, it's more of an obsession or game now. A couple of years ago the ARM tablets to come looked great since they were to have PCIe along with the low cost UI
[14:01:06] -!- Adventsparky has quit [Quit: KVIrc 4.1.3 Equilibrium http://www.kvirc.net/]
[14:02:07] <jdh> what has pcie?
[14:02:15] <L84Supper> that never happened, the majority of tablets have locked bootloaders and the ARM SOC's with PCIe never became the popular devices for tablets or they didn't route the PCIe signals in the case of the Tegra's
[14:02:16] <Jymmm> Also, check out the PanDigital 'Novel' (white), it has an internal uSD card slot that is some how used as a secondary/alternative boot process I believe. There is an external uSD card slot too for user stuff.
[14:02:50] <L84Supper> the allwinner A10 tablets have an open boot process
[14:03:35] <jdh> what does a consumer tablet need pcie for?
[14:03:51] <Jymmm> but beyond the the obsession, again why ARM?
[14:04:13] <jdh> cheap, fast, runs linux
[14:04:30] <L84Supper> yeah, that was the idea a couple of years ago
[14:04:50] <Jymmm> there are x86 that meet that as well.
[14:05:06] <Jymmm> atom d525 is cheaper even
[14:05:26] <L84Supper> but all the ARM vendors with cortex a8 >1ghz and better decided to not sell devices through distributors
[14:05:58] <L84Supper> Jymmm: if you don't mind the buggy closed BIOS on the Atom boards
[14:06:56] <Jymmm> buggy?
[14:07:07] <L84Supper> AMD SBC's are under $100 now as well with support for coreboot
[14:08:56] <joe9> what is SBC?
[14:09:29] <L84Supper> SBC = single board computer
[14:11:09] <Jymmm> Here ya go... size of a dime with wifi http://www.logicpd.com/products/system-on-modules/dm3730-torpedo-wireless-som/
[14:12:38] <Jymmm> and has GPIO, JTAG, etc
[14:12:41] <L84Supper> IIRC those came up here before. But I forget the prices
[14:13:11] <L84Supper> and only 512MB RAM.... but it's enough for EMC
[14:14:38] <L84Supper> any idea what the prices are for 1K-10K/year?
[14:17:49] <Jymmm> 308 in qty 1
[14:18:05] <Jymmm> http://avnetexpress.avnet.com/store/em/EMController/Embedded-Boards-Industrial/Logic/SOMDM3730-30-2780AKCR/_/R-5001739600136/A-5001739600136/An-0?action=part&catalogId=500201&langId=-1&storeId=500201&listIndex=-1&page=1&rank=4
[14:18:33] <L84Supper> so maybe ~$200 in what they would consider high volume

[15:11:02] <L84Supper> I haven't used Intel in years, mostly due to coreboot and hardware development....
[15:11:08] <Jymmm> and they lie, it's an intel nic chipset, not realtek
[15:11:32] <Jymmm> but takes 8-19vdc directly, no PC PS
[15:11:59] <L84Supper> but since Google hired 3 coreboot devs they now support Sandybridge
[15:12:08] <pcw_home> Only problem with the 2800 is graphics support

[15:20:30] <Jymmm> I want that one to make a new NAS box
[15:21:07] <L84Supper> yes, unusual for an x86 MB to have onboard GPIO, and why only 6?
[15:21:36] <Jymmm> intended for management purposes
[15:21:36] <Connor> 6 GPIO or 6 SATA3 ?
[15:21:54] <Jymmm> 6 GPIO and 6 SATA3
[15:22:17] <Jymmm> sata 3Ghz
[15:22:40] <Jymmm> intended for management/monitoring purposes
[15:22:45] <L84Supper> last time I checked the electrical AC spec for the GPIO was TBD
[15:23:35] <FinboySlick> L84Supper: Do you have one of those AMD boards?
[15:24:26] <L84Supper> FinboySlick, not in my hands but the latency jitter with the GPU accel running was <10uS
[15:25:12] <FinboySlick> Comparable to mine, but I suspect the GPU has a lot more punch than what I have.
[15:25:40] <FinboySlick> No onboard LPT though, right?

[15:26:55] <L84Supper> FinboySlick, yes, NO LPT
[15:27:31] <FinboySlick> I ought to get coreboot on one of my alix at some point.

[18:03:52] <Jymmm> L84Supper: Kinda, I wanted to know if it will charge the (mostly dead) battery at 12VDC
[18:04:30] <Jymmm> L84Supper: and how long it takes.
[18:05:19] -!- toastydeath has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[18:05:27] <Jymmm> L84Supper: and it at all possible, the current draw during charging at 12V
[18:05:33] <Jymmm> s/it/if/
[18:06:31] <L84Supper> Jymmm, the spec is 15V min input for charge, but it might work with less, not sure how well or much below
[18:06:58] <Jymmm> L84Supper: I have a 15W solar blanket that is about the same size folded up as the battery pack. It be great if it could charge it, else I could use a stepup I suppose, but not sure of the current draw.
[18:07:19] <L84Supper> next time it is dead I'll try it at <15V
[18:07:32] <Jymmm> L84Supper: thanks.
[18:07:49] <Jymmm> L84Supper: do you know the current draw at any input voltage by chance?
[18:07:57] <Jymmm> charging that is
[18:08:43] <L84Supper> the output is 5V fixed and 16 or 19 selectable
[18:08:58] <Jymmm> L84Supper: Right, but I'm taking INPUT.
[18:09:21] <Jymmm> talking
[18:09:27] <L84Supper> charge time is ~5Hrs
[18:09:46] <L84Supper> figure 90% efficiency
[18:10:00] <Jymmm> L84Supper: I foudn specs here, but not really a CHARGING amperage http://www.brilliantstore.com/other-external-chargers-wintop-bpa-268.html
[18:10:19] <Jymmm> Just an INPUT amperage
[18:10:50] <Jymmm> that could just be a pass-thru for all I know.
[18:10:57] <L84Supper> next time it dies I put a meter on it but you should be able to estimate
[18:13:09] <Jymmm> L84Supper: Yeah, but the lowest it says is [email protected], if that is the spec for charging in 5hrs that would be awesome. But it that's the "optimum" charge time for 25V@4A, it won't work for what I need.
[18:14:41] <L84Supper> my netbook charger is only 19V 2.15A
[18:15:02] <Jymmm> L84Supper: Figure solar charging from about 1100 to 1600 for best results
[18:16:02] <L84Supper> ok, back to gloves and a chem hood, BBL
[18:16:14] <Jymmm> L84Supper: Well, my solar blanket raw full summer sun outputs about 24V@1A no load.
[18:16:25] <Jymmm> L84Supper: Got Hazmat Suit?
[18:16:43] <L84Supper> it's not that hazardous

[22:56:18] <JT-Shop> I was talking to a plant engineer the other day about his robots
[22:56:43] <jp__> and?
[22:57:26] <JT-Shop> pretty cool how they program them and if you change a servo out you have to reprogram the whole thing
[22:58:06] <jp__> ah then hes keeping it to simple
[22:58:29] <jp__> changing a motor screws up the mastering
[22:58:48] <jp__> robots have workoffsets just like cnc
[22:58:53] <JT-Shop> yea screws up your position info
[22:59:59] <jp__> if you program a robot using a workoffset then you should just have to remaster and reset you workoffset and the back in action
[23:00:02] <JT-Shop> on the crank line each robot serves two lathes, pretty cool to watch them
[23:00:29] <JT-Shop> he said you have to start with each joint and reprogram it

[23:03:01] <jp__> when a motor gets changed the offset stored in the controller from the encoder no longer is true for that new motor. You should just have to re zero or "Master that axis and touch up a coord frame
