[14:20:14] <WillenCMD_AT_Wor> so are all the usb motion devices, for example the smooth stepper just a board with a microprocessor that receives commands via usb serial?

[14:27:36] herron is now known as archivist_herron
[14:27:55] <archivist_herron> they have their own motion planner

[14:49:59] <pcw_home> Smooth stepper has a uProc (for comms)and a FPGA (for stepgen)
[14:51:01] <archivist_herron> which does the buffering?
[14:51:12] <pcw_home> not sure
[14:52:15] <Jymmm> looks like they have Ethernet SmoothStepper too
[14:53:00] <pcw_home> I have a buffered stepgen module (just velocity now) but if it was expanded to jerk the FPGA RAM would be plenty (you dont need very fast updates of a jerk limited profile)
[14:53:31] <Jymmm> Jamican spices?
[14:53:33] <pcw_home> all somewhat unrelated to LinuxCNC however

[14:56:25] <pcw_home> you know when you stop your car and ease off the brakes just as you get to a stop?
[14:56:27] <pcw_home> you are doing a jerk limited motion
[14:56:56] <Jymmm> k
[14:57:48] <pcw_home> (so the stored energy in the "springyness" of the car doesn't jerk you backwards)
[14:58:24] -!- zzolo has quit [Client Quit]

[15:37:29] <Jymmm> 5V for what? I can see 12/24V for relays/control lamps, and higher voltage Ps for motors/drivers.
[15:37:59] <Jymmm> Like the geckos, they tap off the motor PS for the logic voltage.

[16:31:08] <ScribbleJ> That slices them into a stack of plates; I could totally use that to lasercut a 3D thing

[16:39:30] <WillenCMD_AT_Wor> I use SolidCam regularly
[16:39:42] <ScribbleJ> Yesterday I spent hours designing a stupid case for my latest 3D printer, to be lasercut.
[16:39:54] <WillenCMD_AT_Wor> you will get faster
[16:40:13] <ScribbleJ> I swear to god, I designed the whole fucking thing, I was down to the last part, and only then did I realize it's impossible to assemble because a bolthead is inbetween two parts that need to be attached to each other.
[16:40:37] <WillenCMD_AT_Wor> I always assemble as i design
[16:40:55] <archivist> you need that reality to teach you about design :)
[16:40:59] <ScribbleJ> I'm using primitive tools that don't have utilities for things like that.
[16:41:35] <WillenCMD_AT_Wor> like a chisel?

[17:19:12] <L84Supper> what happens if you shutdown and turn off the PC, then power-on?
[17:19:25] <jdh> there is a program on the wiki, showport.c that will let you set parport modes from the commandline.
[17:19:32] <tjb1> it starts up and ignores any keyboard input
[17:19:43] <L84Supper> tjb1, the OS isn't even running yet
[17:19:43] <jdh> if you just want to play with modes
[17:19:57] <jdh> it's not unbuntu doing that, it is the bios.
[17:20:15] <L84Supper> ahh the fun of BIOS, you might have to reset the CMOS with a jumper to clear the settings ow

[17:22:02] <jdh> is there a bios setting for USB Legacy support?
[17:23:34] <L84Supper> removing the battery for a short time will not always clear CMOS, a schottky diode in series to the chipset with a cap will hold a charge for a while
[17:24:08] <jdh> there's usually a jumper to drain the cap
[17:24:26] <L84Supper> the jumper will open the connection from the battery and also short the cap to ground

[20:08:34] <skorket> Can someone help me understand this document on "MDF Cutting Data"? https://www.onsrud.com/files/pdf/2012%20LMT%20Onsrud%20Production%20Cutting%20Tools%20MDF.pdf . What is the upper left hand data? What are each of the valuse in the table? What is the "Series" column?
[20:08:50] <Connor> jdh: OMG Yea.. I'm not doing that..
[20:09:54] <syyl_> i bet, thats the cutting speed in inch/minute, skorket
[20:10:05] <skorket> ah, ok, sorry, the data in the table is the 'chip load'. I still don't understand what the other stuff is
[20:10:12] <WillenCMD_AT_Wor> so i have been programming now for about 3 months in python and a year in C, and i am wondering. Why does everyone just use letter's for variables all the time?
[20:10:23] <WillenCMD_AT_Wor> it really makes it hard for someone to go through the porgram
[20:10:26] <skunkworks> lazy
[20:10:31] <skorket> syyl_, ah, so the upper left hand corner is basically the feed rate?
[20:10:34] <WillenCMD_AT_Wor> i label all my variables what they are actually doing
[20:10:38] <syyl_> no, cutting speed
[20:10:43] <syyl_> surface meter(?)
[20:10:47] <syyl_> dont now the english term
[20:10:57] <syyl_> circumflexe speed of the cutting edge
[20:11:13] <jdh> Willen: I use single letters for loops and short scoped things.
[20:11:14] <skunkworks> the lanquage I started with didn't allow for multi character varables... For I = 1 to 100....
[20:11:38] <jdh> I'm a fan of i,j,k
[20:11:41] <skorket> syyl_, I think we're saying the same thing. "feed rate" == "speed of tool through material"
[20:12:12] <syyl_> it dictates how fast the tool turns
[20:12:25] <syyl_> (or has to turn)
[20:12:42] <skorket> revolutions per minute (RPM)?
[20:12:55] <syyl_> the table seems to be in inches/min
[20:13:03] <syyl_> take the formular at the end of the sheet
[20:13:07] <syyl_> to calculate the rpms
[20:13:45] <syyl_> uhm, stop, that formular is something..strange
[20:14:00] <skorket> but I still don't know what the numbers in the upper left hand table or, nor do I know what the "series" column is supposed to represent
[20:14:29] <syyl_> series might be a specified tool type of that manufacturer
[20:14:39] <skorket> ah, ok
[20:15:59] <syyl_> and that values in the upper table seem to be the cutting speed in inches/min
[20:16:14] <skorket> as in, the speed at which the bit moves through the material?
[20:16:47] <syyl_> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds#Cutting_speed
[20:17:15] <syyl_> ah, surface feet/min is the imperial unit for it..
[20:17:58] <skorket> yeah, I believe this is synonymous with "feed rate"
[20:18:02] <syyl_> no
[20:18:04] <jdh> surface furlongs/fort-night was too confusing
[20:18:06] <syyl_> absolutely not
[20:18:25] <syyl_> feed rate is rpm * chipload per tooth +
[20:18:34] <syyl_> feed rate is rpm * chipload per tooth * number of tooth
[20:19:24] <syyl_> the cutting speed is only there, that you will not burn up your tool running it with to low/high rpm
[20:21:07] <skorket> ah, my apologies, I thought the feed rate was something different. In grbl you can set the feed rate and seek rate. I thought the feed rate in that context was the speed at which the bit moves through the material. Maybe I misunderstood what was happening with grbl or maybe they just use the name in error

[23:13:04] <guest45674> hi
[23:13:22] <guest45674> quick question (hopefully)

[23:14:36] <guest45674> trying to set up user defined m codes to open and close my collet closer. i set up the execuable file, seems to be correct. however, the pins to not change when i try the m100 and m101 in mdi
[23:15:06] <guest45674> the pins used to work fine when i had a pyvcp button hooked up
[23:16:11] <guest45674> all examples i found are for parport setups, is there anything different for hosmot2 other than changing the pin to the 5i20 gpio pin?

[23:19:39] <guest45674t> sorry got booted
[23:19:54] <guest45674t> did anyone answer while i was gone?
[23:19:57] <r00t4rd3d> nope
[23:19:58] <jdh> nope.
[23:20:21] <jdh> if you run the script by hand, does it do anything?
[23:20:52] <jdh> run linuxcnc from the command line and look for errors? check dmesg for oddities?
[23:21:03] <guest45674t> im not very familiar with running scripts
[23:21:48] <jdh> where did you save them?
[23:22:49] <jdh> start linuxcnc however you normally do. open up a terminal window, type /path/to/scripts/scriptname

[23:24:16] <guest45674t> ok
[23:25:12] <guest45674t> no such file or directory
[23:26:06] <jdh> you did type the actual path, not what I typed?
[23:27:18] <guest45674t> told you i dont know anything about scripts lol
[23:27:49] <guest45674t> hold on ill try it again

[23:38:59] <guest45674t> stupid battery....
[23:40:02] <guest45674t> http://pastebin.com/zWxigENf
[23:40:13] <guest45674t> there's one of the files
[23:40:31] <guest45674t> does it have to be saved as a particular extension?
[23:40:54] <guest45674t> i have it checked as an execuable in the properties
[23:41:08] <jdh> no, but I think you need the actual pin names
[23:41:18] <jdh> or, you need to source the ini file in the script.
[23:42:25] <jdh> try hm2_5i20.0.gpio.069.out or whatever your actual pin name is
[23:42:25] -!- guest45674t has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[23:42:33] <jdh> or, flake out again.

[23:43:56] <guest45674t> let me see if i can change it
[23:44:20] <guest45674t> didnt think of that... couldnt find any examples with the 5i20, only parport
[23:45:11] <JT-Shop> guest45674t: I use a 5i20 to open and close my collet
[23:45:27] <jdh> via mcode script, or ladder?
[23:45:37] <JT-Shop> m100 m101
[23:46:12] -!- Valen [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[23:46:31] <guest45674t> i got it!
[23:46:41] <guest45674t> you were right jdh
[23:46:54] <guest45674t> thanks!
[23:46:58] <jdh> groovy.
[23:47:43] <guest45674t> now i just need to figure out how to integrate it with my pyvcp buttons
[23:47:51] <guest45674t> so i can manually open and close it too
[23:47:52] <JT-Shop> use or
[23:47:58] <JT-Shop> it's what I do
[23:48:32] <JT-Shop> net collet-open-btn or2.3.in0 <= hm2_5i20.0.gpio.027.in_not
[23:48:35] <guest45674t> the m codes override the button?
[23:49:12] <JT-Shop> I use or iirc looking
[23:49:25] <jdh> My labor day results -> https://picasaweb.google.com/112430417093824344570/Diving#5784471929766227186
[23:49:58] <JT-Shop> #!/bin/sh
[23:49:59] <JT-Shop> # open the collet closer
[23:49:59] <JT-Shop> eval halcmd setp or2.3.in1 1
[23:49:59] <JT-Shop> sleep 0.25
[23:49:59] <JT-Shop> eval halcmd setp or2.3.in1 0
[23:50:01] <JT-Shop> sleep 0.5
[23:50:03] <JT-Shop> exit 0
[23:50:06] <JT-Shop> my M100
[23:51:02] <JT-Shop> see how it works?
[23:51:07] <jdh> why the eval?
[23:51:21] <JT-Shop> don't remember
[23:51:29] <JT-Shop> but it works
[23:51:48] <guest45674t> got it, i'll play with it after i run these parts, thanks!
[23:51:55] <JT-Shop> np
[23:52:02] <Tom_itx> workin late?
[23:52:19] <JT-Shop> me?
[23:52:27] <Tom_itx> yeah
[23:52:44] <JT-Shop> tracing wires on the BP for the next phase of the conversion
[23:52:54] <Tom_itx> ahh yeah
[23:53:25] <JT-Shop> cut the wires from the encoders so it's Katy bar the door now
[23:54:58] <JT-Shop> thinking at this point of ditching the Anilam relay board... to complicated to cypher
