[00:00:27] <tjb1> so a 20" extrusion - 8" carriage leaves about 12" before I add all the supports and thrust bearings
[00:00:54] <tjb1> and this really bothers me -
http://www.cnczone.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=162586&d=1341087087
[00:01:22] <r00t4rd3d> why
[00:02:09] <r00t4rd3d> the cable drag is really not needed on the Z
[00:02:18] <r00t4rd3d> should have just ran the wire with the Y
[00:02:45] <tjb1> That isn't mine
[00:02:57] <tjb1> I read a lot on cnczone ;)
[00:03:01] <r00t4rd3d> i didnt figure seeing how your parts were just sent
[00:03:20] <tjb1> It bothers me that 1 they are using e-chain on the z axis which has about 8" travel
[00:03:38] <tjb1> and 2 they have about 2 ft of it when according to mcmaster slightly over half of travel is all that is required
[00:03:49] <tjb1> so 12" would have sufficied
[00:04:34] <r00t4rd3d> i wouldnt have put it on my z at all
[00:04:37] <r00t4rd3d> looks like shit
[00:06:28] <tjb1> I agree
[00:07:28] <tjb1> http://www.cnczone.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=162580&d=1341087068
[00:07:31] <tjb1> that one bothers me too
[00:14:16] <r00t4rd3d> i need to find a way to manage the wires going into my controller
[00:14:25] <r00t4rd3d> thats the only thing i dont like

[00:15:10] <tjb1> That little box?
[00:15:22] <r00t4rd3d> yeah
[00:15:28] <r00t4rd3d> the black one
[00:15:34] <tjb1> Only 3 wires there
[00:15:41] <r00t4rd3d> 4
[00:15:51] <tjb1> Thats so messy
[00:15:54] <tjb1> You should be ashamed
[00:16:01] <r00t4rd3d> it does irritate me

[00:46:28] <taiden> so i'd say make it as small as possible but add extra travel to make up for any tolerances in your designs
[00:46:47] <taiden> and then adjust your limit switches to be safe for your setup so you aren't jamming things into the wrong places (that's what she said)

[03:23:31] <Valen> from the armchair no
[03:23:48] <Valen> on a busy street when somebody is trying to kill you i imagine it gets a bit tougher
[03:23:58] <tjb1> The guy was walking away
[03:24:13] <Valen> The veteran patrolmen who opened fire on the suit-clad gunman, Jeffrey Johnson, had only an instant to react when he whirled around and pointed a .45-caliber pistol at them as they approached from behind on a busy sidewalk, police said.
[03:24:16] <tjb1> The guy killed who he wanted and was leaving
[03:24:34] <tjb1> Ok but 16 shots?
[03:24:35] <tjb1> 16...
[03:24:44] <Valen> yeah, thats a bit much
[03:25:01] <tjb1> Worst part is, 16 shots between 2 cops
[03:25:03] <Valen> when your using a crowd as the back stop double tap and wait

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ortgies_Semi-Automatic_Pistol
[05:09:36] <Jymmm> Skullworks: It's in need of some TLC, just nobody knows it enough
[05:11:13] <Skullworks> 25acp aka 6.35x16 is a weak round - the 32 is better and the 9mm K (aka 380acp) is even better
[05:12:49] <Jymmm> Skullworks: I have a G17, but it's not very "compact" as I'm in Calif. The .25 I have just won't fire correctly; dimples rounds, but doens't fire.
[05:13:43] <Jymmm> tried different ammo brands too
[05:14:26] <Skullworks> whats wrong with it - I would thing that a complete teardown, wash in hot water with Tide in a ultra sound tank, blow out with compressed air and oil EVERYTHING with Breakfree CLP.
[05:15:41] <Skullworks> yup - need to use a pipe cleaner thruogh the firing pin hole - make sure there is no junk gumming up the movement of the pin.
[05:16:01] <Jymmm> No ultrasound, but do have a nitrogen tank to blow/displace water.
[05:16:21] <Skullworks> but it needs to be fully stripped down when you clean it.

[05:19:41] <Skullworks> Texas raises great cattle and great Women, but it also tends to raise the temp higher than I prefer too.
[05:19:57] <Jymmm> Heh, and humidity!!!
[05:20:35] <Skullworks> Oh please - not that... I have family in FL and MO
[05:20:49] <Skullworks> Purgatory!

[05:22:43] <skunkworks__> Skullworks: It g64px.xxx activates the naive cam - that tries to blend multible segments together so that the effective length is longer - so velocity is higher...
[05:22:48] <Jymmm> dont tell that to JT-Shop-3 Skullworks, he lives there =)
[05:23:53] <Skullworks> Lots of fine folk there - just not my style.
[05:24:34] <Jymmm> Skullworks: you like breakfree over copper grease?
[05:25:57] <Skullworks> I was wondering it there was a way to extend the look ahead such that the velocity is not limited to what the machine can stop in one or 2 blocks.
[05:26:54] <Jymmm> I'd suspect so, with inverse in overall speed
[05:26:56] <Skullworks> Copper grease is OK for internal areas where the grease can not escape - I don't like it for exposed areas
[05:27:48] <Jymmm> Skullworks: Ah, I've been using in mostly on the slide for my G17; never heard of breakfree before.
[05:28:21] <Jymmm> s/in/it/
[05:29:13] <Jymmm> Skullworks: would tide bath w/o ultrsound tank do any good?
[05:29:16] <skunkworks__> Skullworks: not at the moment... but if the segments are colinear withing the px.xxxx then they will be combined into a longer segment..
[05:30:05] <Jymmm> oh sorry there Skullworks, I had mistaken you two
[05:30:10] <Jymmm> skunkworks__:
[05:30:16] <Jymmm> that is
[05:30:32] <Skullworks> I would think that even cutting a spline path with segments of maybe .002" could be done at full speed if the breaking acceleration can be applied in a controlled method where the machine continues to follow the programmed path within the G64 P(tol).
[05:30:39] <Jymmm> all you SK's look alike ;)
[05:31:25] <Skullworks> I run a puny Knee mill and he has that Monster K&T
[05:31:41] <Jymmm> heh
[05:32:00] <skunkworks__> runs fast enough for me.. still can destroy things before I can get to the estop..
[05:32:18] * Jymmm lol @ skunkworks__
[05:32:24] <Skullworks> Oh I'm sure.
[05:32:30] <Jymmm> skunkworks__: NEED MORE BRB's!
[05:33:04] <MattyMatt> my plywood mill bends while it scratches things
[05:33:19] <MattyMatt> I don't need no e-stop
[05:33:27] <Jymmm> MattyMatt: you need more duct tape
[05:33:31] <Skullworks> His K&T is one of the greatest EMC2 (at the time) success storys.
[05:34:26] <MattyMatt> I do want more lookahead tho. I noticed it comes to stop at all 4 points of an oval that should be a smooth movement
[05:35:04] <Jymmm> MattyMatt: is that PC HW related or emc ?
[05:35:14] <Skullworks> what G64 P value are you using - AND are you using backlash comp?
[05:35:25] <MattyMatt> no G64 used yet
[05:35:33] <MattyMatt> no backlash comp
[05:36:01] <Skullworks> you use Inch or mm?
[05:36:05] <MattyMatt> mm
[05:36:27] <skunkworks__> try g64
[05:36:44] <Skullworks> try adding a "G64 P.04"
[05:37:03] <MattyMatt> yarr I will, when I'm not working on my last bit of plywood stock :)
[05:37:11] <Skullworks> or even a P.015

[05:41:57] <MattyMatt> mats are easy, just stomp a cat flat

[05:42:24] <theos> shoes are easy too. just step on the cat :S
[05:43:08] <MattyMatt> I recently discovered that axis jogs way better with the 3d turned off
[05:43:31] <Skullworks> I nick named my truck "Darth RoadKill" Because even when you swerve to avoid them they turn and run back under the truck...
[05:43:33] <skunkworks__> that is odd...
[05:43:33] <MattyMatt> that surprised me, I thought the jogging would be on a higher priority thread
[05:44:06] <theos> :)
[05:44:19] <MattyMatt> but meh, no 3d hardware, so I guess openGL has blocking parts

[05:45:32] <skunkworks__> I bet your base period is set pretty low
[05:46:23] <MattyMatt> I finally noticed that it got worse with bigger files, so I suspected the 3d, so switched to DRO tab and pow all fixed
[05:46:43] <MattyMatt> 15µs iirc
[05:47:00] <skunkworks__> the gui gets sluggish as it is not a realtime task
[05:47:03] <Skullworks> Software step/dir to stepper motors?
[05:47:27] <MattyMatt> yarr. yeah I guess the jogging is GUI not real time as such
[05:47:34] <skunkworks__> hook up hardware jog buttions... or a jog wheel... :)
[05:48:14] <MattyMatt> are they treated differently to the keyb? excellent
[05:48:29] <MattyMatt> jog wheel in construction
[05:48:38] <Skullworks> may also look at the typematic keyboard A20 setting in BIOS
[05:48:41] <skunkworks__> you will love it!
[05:49:03] <Skullworks> that can cause overtravels
[05:52:32] <MattyMatt> eeh. I could flip burgers for a day and buy a bleeding jogwheel
[05:53:00] <MattyMatt> except McFlippery has a 6 month waiting list for jobs
[05:54:12] <MattyMatt> I should go pimp my gcode skills at all the local machinists
[05:54:42] <Skullworks> McD's is a crazy statistic - more than 1 in 7 people in the US has worked for McD's at some point.
[05:55:07] <MattyMatt> some point in the calculus sense?
[05:55:43] <MattyMatt> tending towards zero but never actually flipping that burger?
[05:55:56] <Skullworks> at some time during there term as tax payers.
[05:56:24] <Jymmm> MattyMatt: I thought they have a fancy grill that doens't require actual flipping
[05:56:55] <Jymmm> dual sided microwave of sumtin =)
[05:57:00] <MattyMatt> I think they were still flipping last time I was in there
[05:57:03] <Skullworks> true - some people may have been employed, but never actually worked - looks that way at some local franchises.
[05:58:11] <Jymmm> Hey, I worked. As a contract locksmith for them =)
[05:58:25] <Skullworks> the auto flip is the chain conveyor used to flame broil at BK.

[06:00:21] <Jymmm> that is actually impressive
[06:02:09] <Skullworks> bbl - need to go move laundry to the dryer
[06:02:46] <Jymmm> MattyMatt: Donate bodily fluids?
[06:03:10] <MattyMatt> NHS = free both ways
[06:03:22] <MattyMatt> they get my corpse for the med students
[06:03:30] <Jymmm> ah
[06:03:56] <Jymmm> MattyMatt: I meant for money
[06:04:01] <MattyMatt> yeah
[06:04:28] <Jymmm> MattyMatt: I mean donate a pint of blood for 25
[06:04:34] <MattyMatt> they'd take a kidney if I was feeling generous, but they absolutely won't pay
[06:05:05] <MattyMatt> would need 2 pints for a jogwheel :)
[06:05:29] <Jymmm> cross a boarder

[06:08:47] <Jymmm> I trink I would have stayed in .au if those were my choices
[06:08:53] <MattyMatt> they got as far as London
[06:09:18] <Jymmm> could get past the pub to reach the boat on time?
[06:09:25] <Jymmm> couldn't
[06:09:58] <Jymmm> (if we're sterotyping that is)
[06:10:31] <MattyMatt> grandfather's farm was burned down by mad brother. him and mad one came to England, the other 3 went to Florida
[06:10:57] <Jymmm> maad as in crazy or pissed off?
[06:11:11] <MattyMatt> crazy
[06:11:28] <MattyMatt> we don't use mad for angry here
[06:11:37] <MattyMatt> anger is a dish best served cold
[06:12:15] <Jymmm> too bad your beer isn't
[06:12:54] <MattyMatt> everyone drinks cold lager now, or chilled guiness
[06:13:12] <MattyMatt> warm beer is history
[06:13:21] <Jymmm> MattyMatt: Ah, cool. Good to know. Now I have one reason to visit UK.
[06:14:10] <Jymmm> Too cold/wet otherwise.
[06:14:41] <MattyMatt> it's been tropical this year. hot and v wet
[06:14:48] <Jymmm> There are some places in .cn I'd actually like to visit, but not sure I'd ever get permission to do so.
[06:15:27] <MattyMatt> they allow tourists now don't they?
[06:15:53] <Jymmm> Yeah, but I want to go to places they limit even citizens from.

[06:21:37] <Jymmm> darn, I can't find a photo of the area
[06:22:36] <MattyMatt> meh. I need some inch taps. I could solve my fastener crisis by harvesting old screws from crap

[06:23:34] <toastydeath> oh quarter twenty
[06:23:50] <toastydeath> how every second bolt is you in an american machine shop
[06:24:07] <Jymmm> second?
[06:24:12] <Jymmm> what's first?
[06:24:27] <MattyMatt> one of the few british sizes that's the same pitch as US
[06:26:38] <toastydeath> Jymmm, another random bolt
[06:27:53] <toastydeath> 1/2 x 13 and 3/4 x 10 are pretty common too
[06:28:09] <MattyMatt> our 1/2 is 12tpi iirc

[06:35:42] <MattyMatt> but yeah, I'm trying to stick to metric
[06:36:31] <MattyMatt> no whitworth comes from china. if you want chinese you take metric. british threads are only available from specialists at high prices

[06:40:55] * Skullworks would love a late 60's Bonnieville

[06:42:45] <MattyMatt> especially in the kidneys, it was a hardtail
[06:43:34] <MattyMatt> a pal has a 350 version. I want to scan it for a repro
[06:43:47] <MattyMatt> the chain cases are worth a bob or two

[07:04:44] <awallin> I think bikers are just emotional about their bikes :) that's why there's an outrageous profit-margin...

[07:14:21] <Jymmm> I thought it was an excuse to buy aftermarket chrome parts
[07:14:24] <MattyMatt> I saw a mini-moto dodge tomahawk on YT yesterday. that looked fun
[07:14:40] <Jymmm> buy or sell
[07:16:15] <Skullworks> chrome is best used to line rifle barrels, not wasted on big boy toys... oh wait, rifles are big boy toys too.
[07:16:28] <MattyMatt> chrome is wasted in UK. not enough sun to glisten and too much rain to blister

[07:17:48] <Jymmm> not good enough
[07:18:40] <MattyMatt> mini with a haybusa looked fun, but a normal mini is plenty fun to drive

[07:19:33] <Skullworks> yup - glad they took the time to really do a good design before bringing it back.
[07:19:48] <MattyMatt> you're barely allowed to mess with the pipes these days

[07:30:33] <Skullworks> I did like the original series
[07:30:40] <MattyMatt> the rubber heads at the end was comic relief

[07:34:33] <Skullworks> Kinda wished they had gone farther with Torchwood. If anything the "office" looked like fun.
[07:35:33] <MattyMatt> did that get destroyed in the "real" timeline? it did in a couple of alternates
[07:36:46] <MattyMatt> yeah it did I think, they were homeless in the american story
[07:37:14] <Skullworks> not that I recall - it was the last one, and I think the plot might have left it vacant (can always bring something back...)
[07:37:34] <MattyMatt> which they seem not to be in a hurry to make more of. big budgets and british sci-fi don't always work
[07:38:14] <Skullworks> but I may have missed some of the shorts after the end of the second season.
[07:38:48] <Skullworks> sci-fi is always the first to get the axe.
[07:39:16] <MattyMatt> they did a 3 part mini-series then the american one which was 6 or 8 parts

[07:42:30] <Skullworks> They fired my Boss and the Engineering assistant and it was just me - trying to keep 8 radio stations on air covering half the state - and I'm supposed to just be a part timer.

[11:41:28] <jthornton_> from the manual STEPGEN_MAXACCEL = 21.0 - Acceleration limit for the step generator. This should be 1% to 10% larger than the axis MAX_ACCELERATION. This value improves the tuning of stepgen�s "position loop". If you have added backlash compensation to an axis then this should be 1.5 to 2 times greater than MAX_ACCELERATION.

[17:09:33] <Connor> It's setup as a lathe.
[17:09:45] <IchGuckLive> ok so lathe
[17:11:45] <Connor> yup.

[17:18:36] <IchGuckLive> M20 means mayx 20mm tread is 1mm depth
[17:19:03] <Connor> 1.0 is the pitch.
[17:19:07] <IchGuckLive> 55Degree
[17:19:28] <IchGuckLive> pitch is also the Depth of the Treat on metric
[17:19:58] <syyl> metric thread with 55deg?
[17:20:02] <IchGuckLive> M6 is 1mm yu drill 5
[17:20:16] <Connor> okay, so bore out to 19mm..
[17:20:19] <IchGuckLive> M8 is 1,25 you drill 6.8
[17:20:27] <Connor> then use 1mm for depth..
[17:20:35] <IchGuckLive> M10 is 1.5 you drill (.5
[17:20:39] <Connor> how deep should I run each pass ?
[17:20:40] <IchGuckLive> ....
[17:20:56] <Connor> this is cold roled steel.
[17:20:59] <IchGuckLive> 0.15
[17:21:09] <syyl> depends on the machine and the tool you use
[17:21:39] <Connor> HSS cutter that I'm going to have to grind myself.. CRS, on my G0704 mill running in lathe mode.
[17:22:04] <IchGuckLive> try 0.15
[17:22:09] <syyl> that will work
[17:22:18] <syyl> but remember, metric threads are 60deg
[17:22:22] <syyl> :)
[17:22:33] <IchGuckLive> oh yea 55 is withworth

[17:48:22] <Jymmm> pvc is slightly better than abs which can become gooey when machined

[17:50:14] <Connor> Jymmm: No. PVC is for practice.
[17:50:25] <Jymmm> Connor: and for the real thing?
[17:50:26] <Connor> I'm threading CRS
[17:50:33] <Jymmm> crs?
[17:50:40] <Connor> Cold Rolled Steel.
[17:50:53] <Jymmm> pipe or sheet?
[17:51:13] <Connor> Boarded out Rod.
[17:52:01] <Jymmm> I'd try MDF first, then go from there
[17:52:19] <syyl> mdf is hard to get as a round bar ;)
[17:52:25] <Jymmm> It likes to hold threads thru the surface really well.
[17:52:40] <Jymmm> syyl: Just a general tapping test medium
[17:52:51] <syyl> he wants to turn the thread
[17:52:59] <syyl> no tap involved
[17:53:05] <Jymmm> ah
[17:53:19] <Jymmm> machinst wax?
[17:53:23] <Connor> M20-1.0 internal thread about .25" deep
[17:53:28] <IchGuckLive> M20x1.5 is standard
[17:53:32] <syyl> beside that, mdf ruins highspeed tools
[17:53:37] <syyl> *highspeed steel
[17:53:37] <Connor> IchGuckLive: Yes, but this is 1.0
[17:53:39] <IchGuckLive> M20x1mm i never found this
[17:54:03] <Jymmm> syyl: How's that?
[17:54:16] <syyl> all that crap in it makes the hss dull
[17:54:19] <syyl> pretty fast
[17:54:27] <syyl> i would not run my expensive taps in mdf
[17:54:54] <Jymmm> crap?
[17:55:15] <Jymmm> there is no grain to mdf, I haven;t seen an isue yet
[17:55:22] <Connor> Jymmm: The glue, the grit, the formaldehyde.
[17:55:32] <syyl> then run your tools in mdf :P
[17:56:00] <Connor> anyway, I have some PVC pipe for testing with.. that'll be easier.. less messy.. I have issues with Allergies and MDF.

[19:14:57] <djdelorie> it would be if I actually put the design files up there :-)
[19:15:07] <djdelorie> now that the firmware is working, I should do that...
[19:15:14] <micges> yes, motion checks and don't create base thread if 0
[19:15:40] <pcw_home> ok set to 1 to crash :-)
[19:15:53] <djdelorie> I'll probably do a redesign using the next size bigger MCU, more pins for stuff and runs at 96 MHz instead of 80 so it can do really fast USB serial transfers

[19:26:36] <jthornton> micges, thanks
[19:27:29] <jthornton> pcw_home, I see that in some sim configs so I was wondering
[19:28:20] <pcw_home> I wonder it that exactly the same as leaving the basethread statement out entirely
[19:28:26] <pcw_home> if thats
[19:28:53] <jthornton> I suspect that it is some ini smoke and mirrors to leave the base thread out
[19:30:18] <micges> base_thread default value is 0, so removing will not change behaviour

[22:50:32] <JT-Shop> in Axis?
[22:51:56] <andypugh> Yes
[22:52:52] <andypugh> He is using 0.1mm end mills, so really wants microns in the DRO.

[22:57:07] <Tom_itx> i think the .1mm is smaller than that but i'm not sure

[22:57:20] -!- tjb1 [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[22:59:22] <JT-Shop> can he add a pyVCP panel and display the DRO numbers there?
[22:59:52] <andypugh> I guess so, but it seems to me it ought to be possible as a .axisrc entry?
[23:00:05] <PCW> Oh, that guy I suggested he try torque mode to get as much of the drive out of the way as possible
[23:00:07] <PCW> I think he's got some kind of mechanical/drive issues that make his "plant" untunable
[23:00:15] <JT-Shop> yea, just stabbing about in there now looking
[23:00:30] <andypugh> I spent today trying.
[23:00:54] <JT-Shop> I think it might be in axis.tcl
[23:01:01] <JT-Shop> but dang if I can find it now
[23:01:25] <andypugh> The initial peak is 6um, the rest of the f-error is about 2um with 0.3um static error. For most folk that would be considered pretty good.
[23:02:32] <r00t4rd3d> well SOB
[23:02:34] <r00t4rd3d> http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:13757
[23:02:58] <andypugh> You can get it better (less than 2um initial peak) by tuning FF1, but only for one specific feed rate. I think his answer might be mapped-gains.
[23:03:01] <JT-Shop> line 559 in axis.py redraws the dro but nothing in there about digits
[23:03:42] <PCW> Or jerk limited motion
[23:04:04] <andypugh> Mapped-gains is easier.
[23:04:41] <PCW> Yes but S curves are better for everyone
[23:04:57] <andypugh> Also, not unusual, one controller I am calibrating at work has the I-gain determined as the product of 3 8x8 maps.
[23:05:30] <PCW> Can he run his loop any faster?
[23:05:48] <andypugh> He has tried, but his PC isn't great.
[23:06:19] <andypugh> I think I persuaded him to get the machine up and running and making parts, and see how they turn out.
[23:06:23] <PCW> This is where atoms fail but core DUOs work well
[23:07:07] <andypugh> In most cases a lathe tool isn't touching the work at the start of motion, so it is entirely possible that it simply won't matter.
[23:07:35] <PCW> Yeah
[23:08:19] <PCW> And if you can trade of speed for accuracy. lower the accel
