[00:02:03] <tjb1> r00t4rd3d: You cut the whole thing in 2.5 hours?
[00:02:36] <r00t4rd3d> no just one panel
[00:02:41] <r00t4rd3d> front panel
[00:02:56] <r00t4rd3d> the top only took 30 minutes
[00:03:03] <andypugh> r00t4rd3d: What wood?
[00:03:08] <r00t4rd3d> oak and pine
[00:03:17] <r00t4rd3d> oak sides, pine rest
[00:04:35] <andypugh> Yeah, thought so. I don't find pine to be a particularly attractive wood. But then I find myself strangely tempted by http://purpleheartflooring.com so don't pay much attention to me.

[00:05:09] <r00t4rd3d> i dont like pine either.
[00:05:33] <tjb1> Im getting better at TIG so I guess I accomplished something today
[00:05:34] <r00t4rd3d> i let them pick the wood though
[00:06:31] <jthornton> andypugh, how is the arms race going?
[00:06:38] <Anon9798> pcw: You there?

[00:08:06] <andypugh> I got the G-code debugged and made one rod/knob thing. I will do the other and the brackets tomorrow. My enthusiasm waned when faced with a 10' length of 25mm stainless bar and a 20mm spindle through-hole. So I need to hacksaw off bite-sized chunks.
[00:08:27] <Tom_itx> got a chop saw?
[00:08:50] -!- Hapi_ has quit [Quit: Page closed]
[00:08:55] <andypugh> No, and I am not likely to buy one in the current circumstances.
[00:09:07] <jp_> pcw_home, could the 7i44 be used somehow with hiperface encoders?
[00:09:09] <Tom_itx> i sometimes use an abrasive wheel too
[00:09:13] <andypugh> (I don't really have the space for one either)
[00:09:27] <jthornton> can you mill the bar into smaller chunks?
[00:09:29] <Tom_itx> small 4" angle grinder with a cutoff wheel
[00:09:44] <jthornton> yea that works for me
[00:09:55] <jthornton> I use a 4 1/2" though
[00:10:04] <Tom_itx> yeah i think mine is as well
[00:10:06] <andypugh> The hacksaw is reasonably expedient. The angle grinder makes too much noise for midnight.
[00:10:28] <Tom_itx> give you a good workout anyway
[00:10:46] <andypugh> (and the angle grinder is living in the house so as not to be usable by thieving scrotes to bypass my secondary security if they do get in)
[00:11:00] -!- Anon9798 has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[00:11:10] <andypugh> I have hacksawed a 6" bar once. But it took a while.
[00:11:10] -!- adb [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:12:17] <Tom_itx> i should post a result here
[00:12:44] <andypugh> jp_: If the encoders are RS485 then the 7i44 will get the signals into an FPGA card. The question then is if the FPGA card can do anything with the data.
[00:12:49] <jthornton> I don't think I've hacksawed stainless before, but I have hacksawed some big chunks of steel
[00:12:59] <Tom_itx> http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/Lathe/thread1.jpg
[00:13:06] <Tom_itx> finished those up the other day
[00:13:17] <jp_> andypugh, hiperface is part 485 plus sine cos
[00:13:29] <Tom_itx> i sawed some 5/8 stainless bar the other day
[00:13:32] <Tom_itx> wasn't so bad
[00:13:43] <Tom_itx> no worse than mild steel really
[00:14:38] <andypugh> The sine-cos part is the hard bit. You need fast analogue, and there isn't a lot of that for LinuxCNC.
[00:15:13] <jp_> andypugh, what about the new mesa serial analogue cards?
[00:15:23] <andypugh> You might be able to modify my Arduino Resolver code. That samples sine-cos and converts to position, then sends the data to a Mesa UART at 1Mbit.
[00:15:48] <jp_> i was going to ask if you still had those sheilds
[00:16:05] <Tom_itx> that pin is holding these on: http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/Lathe/Pic_1010_002.jpg
[00:16:47] <Tom_itx> hand carved brazillian walnut
[00:16:50] <andypugh> You wouldn't want or need the shield, that mainly provides excitation for the resolver.
[00:17:16] <jp_> oh i thought you might of had a 485 driver on it
[00:17:37] <andypugh> The UART is 5V ttl
[00:17:58] <jp_> haven't taken a hard look at it
[00:18:13] <jp_> the shield that is

[00:19:44] <andypugh> You probably need to talk to PCW, he probably has thoughts on the subject of Hiperface.
[00:20:43] <jp_> yeah. I know ssi is possible just was wondering how much of a strech hiperface was

[00:23:17] <Tom_itx> nope
[00:24:02] <jthornton> http://imagebin.org/232402
[00:24:20] <Tom_itx> oh
[00:24:25] <Tom_itx> yes, i did see that
[00:24:28] <jthornton> I still have to add the threading part with wire measurements etc.
[00:25:05] <jthornton> so you pick a thread type, then the actual thread and it gives you all the info needed to tap or thread
[00:25:22] <Tom_itx> nice
[00:25:23] <jthornton> also you can pick what drills you have to choose from
[00:26:23] <Tom_itx> i try to keep a full 115? piece set of sharp bits
[00:26:52] <Tom_itx> and a few smaller ones for pcboards
[00:27:27] <jthornton> I like it so far to be able to pick a bit to get the thread percentage you want for the material your threading
[00:27:35] <Nick001> back
[00:27:50] <jthornton> the OD part will give all the info needed to measure the thread pitch with thread wires
[00:28:15] <Tom_itx> so far when i need that i go to the handbook
[00:29:01] <jthornton> me too, but if it is right there on your machine...
[00:29:13] <Tom_itx> yeah
[00:30:00] <jdh> Ihave one on my phone. On the linuxcnc box would be nice though.
[00:30:18] <jdh> I usually google drill tap chart and pick something
[00:31:10] <Tom_itx> i got charts on the wall by the drillpress and lathe

[01:35:32] <tjb1> Actually its a 5-6
[01:35:41] <tjb1> Probably a 5
[01:35:57] <jdh> uh huh
[01:36:16] <mrsun> i always go 5-56 or WD-40
[01:36:18] <mrsun> but thats me :P

[01:40:50] <tjb1> jdh: #5 or #6 not a #5-6 :P
[01:41:08] <jdh> you found something in the .us that uses a #5?
[01:41:21] <tjb1> I didnt take the screw out
[01:41:27] <tjb1> I was just going by what allen wrench it uses
[01:41:28] <jdh> I'd be impressed.
[01:42:54] <jdh> but, speaking of oddball sizes. At work, we had a GE circuit breaker. Standalone module with an option for a remote reset. The bolts holding the flip-part-lever-thingie were bigger than 3mm, smaller tham 4mm. Bigger than #6, smaller than #8
[01:45:23] <tjb1> Would you say a metric bolt with an outside diameter measuring 2.75mm = M3?
[01:45:51] <jdh> quite likely.
[01:46:55] <jdh> the only m3 I could find to check was a m3 set screw
[01:47:00] <mrsun> shouldnt it be close to 3mm ?
[01:47:08] <mrsun> there is M2.5 etc also
[01:47:12] <mrsun> at those small sizes
[01:47:33] <jdh> 2.75 seems just a little small.
[01:47:57] <tjb1> let me pull one out again and check
[01:48:13] <mrsun> M2.6 there is also
[01:48:49] <mrsun> http://www.engineersedge.com/hardware/metric-external-thread-sizes1.htm
[01:49:12] <mrsun> M3 has Max 2.98mm Min 2.874
[01:49:18] <jdh> just a little small
[01:49:31] <tjb1> well this one is 2.9
[01:49:36] <tjb1> Maybe that one was screwed up
[01:50:20] <mrsun> aparently :P
[01:50:32] <mrsun> (the thing i wrote)
[01:50:41] <jdh> or it's a 4-40
[01:50:47] <tjb1> Its metric :)
[01:51:07] <tjb1> I use to go to lowes to try and get this stuff…I have since stopped wasting my time
[01:51:14] <jdh> good move.
[01:51:15] <mrsun> is it computer stuff or ?
[01:51:20] <tjb1> I couldnt even get a 10-32 SHCS
[01:51:31] <tjb1> mrsun: Its for the blocks on linear rails
[01:51:35] <mrsun> oh
[01:52:01] <mrsun> gaah i need to sleep
[01:52:07] <mrsun> but cant ... stupid brain stupid brain
[01:52:13] <tjb1> Fastenal wanted $4 for 20 of them when I can get 100 for $4.75 at mcmaster so im trying to get a good order for mcmaster
[01:52:41] <jdh> there is an Ace hardware nearby that has a good selection of bolts various materials, metric also.
[01:53:03] <jdh> I get bulk stuff at fastenal pretty cheap.
[01:53:17] <jdh> but, the hardware store sells 100 of <whatever> pretty cheap usually
[01:54:01] <tjb1> ill check the hardware store
[01:54:04] <tjb1> I hate lowes
[01:54:15] <tjb1> They have the most random selection I have ever seen
[01:54:21] <jdh> they are useful for some stuff.
[01:54:25] <tjb1> They sell M3 bolts but not m3 nuts
[01:54:38] <jdh> I got some M3's from there, they sucked
[01:54:50] <jdh> crappy threads, like they were molded
[01:55:05] <tjb1> Yep nothing but junk
[01:55:12] <tjb1> I made this today :D - http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/564051_4469257405520_1685339909_n.jpg
[01:55:12] <jdh> got perfect SS ones at the hardware store, 1/4 the price.
[01:55:52] <jdh> nifty. What material?
[01:58:04] <tjb1> all steel
[01:58:10] <tjb1> Thats the jack from a CB
[01:58:18] <tjb1> where the mic connects
[01:58:55] <jdh> I have those on my steppers
[01:59:27] <jdh> http://tinyurl.com/9nnracd
[01:59:35] <jdh> with my SS 3mm bolts holding the covers on.
[02:01:44] <tjb1> What size?
[02:01:46] <tjb1> nema23?
[02:02:49] <jdh> yeah, 570's
[02:03:24] <tjb1> Those are nice covers
[02:03:33] <jdh> yep. Connor made them for me.
[02:03:39] <tjb1> My wires werent in the little cover/bearing support correctly...
[02:03:44] <tjb1> You can see the wires
[02:03:54] <tjb1> I dont know if you know what i mean
[02:04:40] <jdh> no clue.
[02:04:52] <jdh> did you cut the brackets on the plasma?
[02:05:00] <jdh> what are the slots for?
[02:05:25] <tjb1> Yes
[02:05:29] <tjb1> Slot is for a wire tie
[02:05:34] <tjb1> zip tie
[02:06:02] <tjb1> Not sure what they are called to you
[02:06:10] <jdh> wire ties
[02:06:23] <tjb1> http://www.cncrouterparts.com/images/IMG_0520.JPG
[02:06:24] <tjb1> That
[02:06:50] -!- Keknom [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[02:07:00] <jdh> ?
[02:07:01] <tjb1> See where the cable comes out, there is a grommet there that fits the cable jacket...
[02:07:04] <jdh> that's not a wire tie.
[02:07:26] <tjb1> They made the wires too long so they stick out of hole
[02:08:02] <jdh> shove it back in!
[02:08:11] <jdh> I don't like the DB9
[02:08:16] <tjb1> I tried
[02:08:27] <tjb1> I took the cover off and I cant get it back in enough so the cable jacket is in
[02:08:42] -!- jvns has quit [Quit: Ex-Chat]
[02:08:44] <jdh> you took the cover off the motor?
[02:09:03] <Connor> You just kill 1/4 of the torque on it..
[02:09:06] <Connor> at least.
[02:09:11] -!- abra has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[02:09:20] <tjb1> Just that back coer
[02:09:21] <tjb1> cover
[02:09:23] -!- FinboySlick [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[02:10:13] <tjb1> Just the 1/2" high one where the wires go in
[02:11:02] <tjb1> How would that make it lose torque?
[02:11:04] <Connor> I've read your not suppose to disassemble steppers.. it kills the torque on them.. something about demagnetizing them and stuff.
[02:11:20] <jdh> only if you pull the rotor out
[02:11:30] <tjb1> I didnt take the armature out
[02:11:42] <Connor> Would think it would be the same taking the cover off, it could still touch the sides of the motor.
[02:12:03] <tjb1> All that cover has is a washer and a spring washer
[02:12:13] <tjb1> and the hole for the wires
[02:12:20] <Connor> not a bearing ?
[02:12:39] <tjb1> The bearing was still on the shaft
[02:14:00] <tjb1> Im not worried about it
[02:14:08] <tjb1> Just pisses me off they couldnt make them correctly
[02:14:27] <Connor> make what correctly ?
[02:15:18] <tjb1> So the jacket is in the grommet
[02:15:22] <jdh> get some black RTV and 'caulk' the gap
[02:16:49] <tjb1> Im not worried about the hole, I am worried about the stress on those wires
[02:16:59] <tjb1> But I taped the cable directly to the motor that that portion cant flex
[02:17:59] <tjb1> *motor so that
[02:19:01] <jdh> the rtv would act as a strain relief.
[02:20:25] <jdh> we replaced an ancient round slo-syn stepper yesterday. It had been there for 15 years? Ran off a full-step TBM-105 (huge) drive and the motor would burn you if you touched it.
[02:21:04] <jdh> the insulation on the wires had flaked off on the first half inch where it came out of the motor
[02:22:30] <tjb1> http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/530587_4469490131338_930172937_n.jpg

[09:10:32] <Jymmm> My bad... $22 Billion. The 9 percent drop in shares of Google Inc., owner of the largest Web-search engine, wiped more than $22 billion from its market capitalization in minutes

[12:56:09] <MattyMatt> will #5423=[#5423 MOD 360.0] cancel the accumulated rotations cleanly?
[12:59:00] <MattyMatt> I'd use G92 but it'd hit the machine axis limits eventually
[13:01:46] -!- rob_h has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[13:02:27] <mhaberler> you might want to look into fix, fup, round: http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gcode/overview.html#sub:Unary-Operation-Value
[13:02:55] -!- rob_h [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[13:03:46] <MattyMatt> I don't think so, I just want to remove multiples of 360 leaving the float remainder
[13:05:01] <MattyMatt> so I don't have needless rotations when I do G0 A0 when A is at 3600 degrees etc

[13:14:40] <MattyMatt> MOD says it works with floats presumably like fmod() but my question is more about #5423. is that the absolute value of the A axis and will changing it cause any crazy feedrates etc in co-ordinated moves that follow?
[13:20:19] <cradek> that parameter is read-only. if you use your rotary mostly as an indexer, perhaps you want to use WRAPPED_ROTARY mode
[13:21:37] <MattyMatt> cheers I'll look into that
[13:25:15] -!- mk0 has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[13:25:38] <MattyMatt> meh, that won't help, because I'm doing G1 A5400 X6 to mill a helix
[13:26:43] <MattyMatt> G92 A[#5423 MOD 360.0] will do the job until I hit the axis limit tho?
[13:28:36] <MattyMatt> axis limit is +/- 99999 so for 12 pulleys in a row that should do me

[13:56:29] <jdh> you could cut it in platinum.
[13:56:53] <jdh> maybe find a rich 12 year old to buy it?
[13:58:00] <r00t4rd3d> I dont think my machine could cut platinum.
[14:00:16] <cradek> MattyMatt: just add a few more nines. you can turn 5400 degrees in wrapped mode, just use G91. or I guess you could just use G91 anyway if you don't care what the DRO says.
[14:02:55] <archivist> this is the problem I have mentioned before :)
[14:03:32] <cradek> maybe I'm not getting it
[14:03:44] <cradek> but I see several ways to handle it just fine
[14:07:45] <archivist> after n degrees/turns you need a simple go to nearest 0 which is a less than 180 degree move, not in wrapped mode though, in a free turning rotary there is NO limit

[15:56:57] <Jymmm> a piece of string and 4000yo Egyptian Architect?

[15:57:44] <syyl> and that one is made from toolsteel, ground and bolted together
[15:57:58] <syyl> but it gets more use on the surface plate as on the milling machine
[15:58:56] <JT-Shop> nice one
[15:59:15] <mrsun> and i need to make a new "stand" for the column on the mill :/
[15:59:23] <mrsun> stupid seig cant do anything straight

[16:06:13] <tjb1> Looks like im running without water in winter
[16:06:46] <jdh> why
[16:07:10] <JT-Shop> put a pond heater in the holding tank
[16:07:44] <tjb1> That would get pretty expensive to run all the time
[16:07:56] <JT-Shop> they are only a few watts
[16:08:05] <tjb1> I have a block heater here but I wonder how long it would take to heat the table
[16:08:21] <Jymmm> Glycols are in the alcohol family, and alcohol displaces water.
[16:08:22] <JT-Shop> you just want it above freezing
[16:09:00] <tjb1> This block heater is 1500w and about 6" long
[16:09:24] <jdh> that's a lot of heat.
[16:09:29] <Jymmm> 1500W is too much
[16:09:46] <Jymmm> you'll get a 600+ electric bill

[16:11:30] <tjb1> Jymmm: Thats all alcohol based and the concentration I need is nearly 50/50
[16:11:31] <Jymmm> tjb1: for what purposes?
[16:11:43] <tjb1> The water in my water table on the plasma
[16:11:47] <Jymmm> tjb1: then use glycol
[16:12:23] <Jymmm> tjb1: you can even get free glycerin from those bio-disel producers as it's a byproduct
[16:12:23] <tjb1> Glycol is flammable too :P
[16:13:16] <Jymmm> since when?

[16:17:04] <Jymmm> tjb1: go light your radiator on fire
[16:18:59] <tjb1> Yeah and plasma arcs are near 50,000F....
[16:20:13] <TekniQue> 16:13:44 < Jymmm> it's swet, and toxic, but not flammable
[16:20:16] <TekniQue> it is too
[16:20:30] <TekniQue> given enough heat, it burns like any other alcohol
[16:21:01] <TekniQue> it's just not very volatile, that's why it doesn't burn readily when cold

[18:18:06] <ReadError> is that version of autocad from like 1995 ?
[18:19:32] <skunkworks> acad 12 :)
[18:19:38] <skunkworks> still works for what I need.
[18:19:49] <Jymmm> dos?
[18:20:01] -!- jpk has quit [Client Quit]
[18:20:27] <skunkworks> r00t4rd3d, no... (well - On 10.04 I had sim.. Used it to write my comp for the K&T)
[18:21:01] <skunkworks> Jymmm, no - windows. - we started witht he dos version of 12 and switched to the windowws version
[18:21:13] <Jymmm> ah
[18:21:35] -!- syyl has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[18:21:39] <Jymmm> I woouldn't mind having a DOS version of acad
[18:22:04] <skunkworks> I have no clue if we still have it.
[18:22:33] <Jymmm> Oh, heh. I kinda meant if they ever released the dos version to the semi public domian.
[18:22:45] <Jymmm> or found one in a surplus store or somethng
[18:22:51] <Jymmm> or whatever ;)
[18:23:18] <Jymmm> skunkworks: Do you remember what it would run on? 486? 8MB ram?
[18:25:16] <skunkworks> I think they where 486's
[18:25:30] <skunkworks> might have even been 386's
[18:26:31] <andypugh> I used AutoCAD on a Mac very briefly. About 20 minutes before giving up.
[18:26:55] <andypugh> It was _hopelessly_ slow. A very, very, bad port that should never have been released.
[18:27:11] <r00t4rd3d> gotta please the fan boys!
[18:27:41] <tjb1> r00t4rd3d >:(
[18:27:44] <andypugh> It didn't please this one.
[18:27:59] <andypugh> The Mac version of Fusion is pretty slick though.
[18:28:32] <tjb1> andypugh: You know of anything better than draftsight that is free for mac?
[18:28:51] <andypugh> Fusion?
[18:29:01] <andypugh> It's not a full CAD package though
[18:29:10] <tjb1> I just need CAD not the parametric
[18:29:17] <andypugh> It's in the App store
[18:29:23] <tjb1> I thought Fusion was used to take DXF to solids?
[18:29:25] <skunkworks> being raised on acad make it hard for me to use any parametric drawing programs
[18:29:51] <andypugh> I started with Acad and was ecstatic to break away into paramteric
[18:31:08] <skunkworks> I have not given myself time..
[18:31:54] <andypugh> If you make a 3D model then you can't get the drawing wrong.
[18:32:10] <andypugh> You know, dimension to the wrong line for example :-)
[18:32:26] <tjb1> I thought my teacher said fusion worked off drawings and you couldnt draw in it but I guess he was wrong :) downloading now!
[18:35:52] <andypugh> I just made a cube :-)

[18:37:48] <tjb1> Someone asked how fusion was different from inventor
[18:38:21] <jdh> how is it different?
[18:38:33] <jdh> isn't it inventor fusion or something like that?
[18:38:38] <andypugh> It can't do nearly as much stuff. For example as far as I can see I can't re-dimension my sketch and have the extruded solid update.
[18:39:03] <jdh> that seems kind of lame.
[18:39:26] <tjb1> jdh there is inventor and inventor fusion
[18:41:07] <andypugh> It's for different things. It's what they call "direct modelling". It has differnet sorts of tools. For example I just grabbed a face of my cube and tilted it in two direction to make a funny shape. I would not have any idea how to make that shape in Inventor.
[18:45:16] <andypugh> Actually, it has more power than I thought. It just let me put a countersunk hole in my angled face.

[20:51:03] <r00t4rd3d> looks retarded to be honest.
[20:51:17] <r00t4rd3d> but what ever keeps you dry
[20:52:01] <r00t4rd3d> just the metal ones would look better but pretty much useless cause of the length.
[20:53:17] <mazafaka> and this one:
[20:53:23] <mazafaka> wait
[20:53:38] <r00t4rd3d> what is that material you have hanging ofd there?
[20:53:42] <r00t4rd3d> off*

[20:54:27] <r00t4rd3d> stuck to the header
[20:54:50] <mazafaka> where, and what is hanging off there?
[20:55:06] <r00t4rd3d> off the bottoms of each fender
[20:55:12] <mazafaka> resin
[20:55:30] <r00t4rd3d> its not gonna flap in the wind?
[20:55:35] <mazafaka> no
[20:55:49] <mazafaka> it's bend and relatively thick
[20:55:54] <mazafaka> *bent
[20:56:15] <r00t4rd3d> what happens if you pop a wheelie?
[20:56:25] <r00t4rd3d> or a good bump
[20:56:42] <mazafaka> nothing, it would bend back off the wheel, or go between the wheel and fender

[23:38:32] <mutilator> so, two questions, why when idle my steppers get quite hot and make some awful noise>
[23:38:52] <alex4nder> what's your drive?
[23:39:08] <mutilator> i have a g540 controller and http://www.automationtechnologiesinc.com/docs/manuals/KL23H2100-35-4B.pdf
[23:39:15] <mutilator> those
[23:39:31] <alex4nder> yah, I have one
[23:39:58] <alex4nder> a g540 that is.. steppers get hot, and mine make a hissing sound at idle
[23:40:13] <mutilator> like hard to touch hot?
[23:40:41] <alex4nder> yup
[23:41:03] <mutilator> ok
[23:42:04] <mutilator> If your motor is rated
[23:42:04] <mutilator> at 3.5A or above you can safely not use a current set resistor; however, your G540 will not go into current standby mode which
[23:42:04] <mutilator> will result in increased motor heating.
[23:42:09] <mutilator> i see that in the docs for the 540
[23:42:24] <mutilator> but i didnt think increased heating would mean hard to touch
[23:44:23] <jdh> hot is normal
[23:47:52] <Tom_itx> my 203v's keep my steppers cool
[23:51:55] <jdh> does it do low current standby
[23:52:01] <Tom_itx> yes
[23:53:10] <mutilator> it does w/ a resistor aparently
[23:56:56] <mutilator> perhaps i could just jumper it

[23:56:56] -!- asdfasd [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[23:56:56] <Tom_itx> maybe the resistor sets the current
[23:56:56] <mutilator> yea it does
[23:56:56] <mutilator> the doc says if the motor is 3.5A or more then you dont need it though
[23:56:56] <Tom_itx> for standby?
