[00:59:12] <jsr> JT-Shop : so I go into terminal, navigate to jsr/emc2/configs/DRO (where the .hal and .XML files are, type . ./scripts/rip-environment, and I get no such file or directory.
[01:01:18] <jsr> even if I go to jsr/emc2-dev/scripts and type rip-environment, I get no such file or directory.
[01:03:41] <jsr> actually, it's command not found in the last instance

[01:05:24] <skunkworks> you need to be in the directory that linuxcnc was installes
[01:06:06] <skunkworks> like /home/username/linuxcnc
[01:06:37] <skunkworks> like /home/username/linuxcnc
[01:06:44] <skunkworks> heh
[01:07:05] <skunkworks> where ever you installed the rip
[01:07:38] <jsr> like jsr/emc2-dev?
[01:07:49] <skunkworks> exactly
[01:09:08] <jsr> I've never seen the structure of ". ./" before. what exactly is that doing for me?
[01:12:44] <jdh> ./ is your current path, . means to source the file listed, so . ./foo means to source the items in the file foo
[01:13:24] -!- ravenlock [ravenlock!~ravenlock@enlightenment/developer/ravenlock] has joined #linuxcnc
[01:16:51] <jsr> so " to source" in this case means to execute each instruction in the foo file?
[01:17:38] <jdh> yes, it's just like typing them at the command line
[01:17:55] <jdh> 'help source'
[01:18:21] <jdh> they are executed in teh current shell context instead of in a subshell
[01:18:35] <jsr> OK, thanks.
[01:19:14] <jdh> certainly.

[05:03:51] <pcw_home> Connor probably too new for pncconf, you will have to set it up directly in hal
[05:04:12] <Connor> okay. any samples on it?
[05:04:32] <jdh> what's the difference between an MPG and an encoder for the card?
[05:05:01] <Connor> the MPG can be lower bandwidth most likly..
[05:05:12] <Connor> I think it's handled by the serial side of the card ??
[05:11:40] <pcw_home> Yes its a quadrature counter on the DIO part of the 7I77 (2 wires only, no index and defaults to 1x mode) good for maybe 20KHz
[05:12:31] <Connor> which pins does it tie to on both the 7i76 and 7i77 ?
[05:13:11] <pcw_home> I think its IN16,17,18,19
[05:13:23] <pcw_home> its in the manual
[05:14:28] <Connor> What is BLDC control ?
[05:14:50] <jdh> brushless dc

[05:48:38] <Connor> some on ebay..
[05:48:39] <Valen> yeah same
[05:49:04] <Valen> He also noted that desktop motherboards with new core logic supporting Haswell will be offered by Intel, and and will be sold throughout Haswell’s life. This means new Intel motherboards will remain on the market for roughly 18 months after the new CPU ships, with warranty support continuing beyond that period.

[13:38:49] <frallzor> ciabatta is the italian word for "slipper"
[13:39:24] <jthornton> the photo looks like french bread from New Orleans used to make po-boys

[13:39:56] <frallzor> Id guess many breads look alike =)
[13:40:41] <jthornton> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Po%27_boy
[13:41:15] <frallzor> ciabattas with some roastbeef, sallad and remoulade sauce and roasted onion.... mmmmmmmm
[13:41:38] <jthornton> better make more than one...
[13:41:57] <frallzor> made 6 =P
[13:42:43] <frallzor> https://vimeo.com/59098756 did you see this? =P
[13:42:48] <frallzor> Was bored yesterday
[13:43:41] <jthornton> nice!
[13:43:48] <gene_> http://imagebin.org/245799
[13:44:36] <jthornton> yikes! why even have a back plot with all that stuff in there?
[13:45:05] <jdh> did you make or buy the touch off probe?
[13:45:16] <gene_> Notice no VEL. Damned if I know John, I have no clue how that stuff got there
[13:46:02] <frallzor> jdh buy
[13:46:11] <frallzor> cheapo from cnc-plus.de
[13:46:35] <frallzor> better than a solid plate atleast =)
[13:46:40] <gene_> I'd snapshot the mill, 4 axis, but its running on its own screen ATM.
[13:47:14] <jthornton> this is what I'm working on
http://imagebin.org/245800
[13:47:34] <frallzor> ohhh fancy
[13:47:40] <frallzor> share when done? =P
[13:47:52] <jthornton> you bet
[13:48:19] <frallzor> seems like a simple touchy without the need for physical buttons
[13:48:23] <jthornton> I always share my toys... but not my tools :) unless I trust you with them
[13:48:40] <jthornton> it is a touch screen but not a touchy
[13:49:01] <frallzor> axis gone touchy? =)
[13:49:32] <jthornton> more like JT gone touchy
[13:49:48] <gene_> That would be a switch, but I could get used to it.
[13:49:53] <frallzor> whats left to do on that? b
[13:50:01] <frallzor> bunch of coding I guess
[13:50:32] <jthornton> http://imagebin.org/245803

[17:09:00] <archivist> just got back home
[17:09:35] <anonimas1> archivist: I figured my problem, and I am working on a solution, tho the base is a bit worn/scratched, not much tho(not enough to cause problems)
[17:10:03] <anonimas1> just scraped off the burrs on the inside of the v, so it wont scrape the bed of the lathe..
[17:10:14] <anonimas1> there was one from a chip being stuck
[17:11:05] <archivist> I was thinking later you should have been able to feel the chip/whatever causing it to not sit tight on the v
[17:11:23] <anonimas1> it werent stuck there anymore it sits tight
[17:11:33] <anonimas1> the problem were the alignment pegs for the x adjustment
[17:11:45] <anonimas1> 0.10mm of play from them being worn
[17:12:37] <anonimas1> the so basically it pivots everytime that you move it
[17:12:40] <archivist> hammer them so they fit the slots :)
[17:13:29] <anonimas1> haha yeah that's a great plan
[17:13:34] <archivist> had to "jump up" some clock bits that were worn thin :)
[17:14:00] <anonimas1> I'd rather make new ones, and scrape them until they are good enough
[17:14:42] <anonimas1> if I had a grinder it'd be a quick fix.

[20:18:40] <Connor> I was using x1
[20:18:48] <cmorley> number of 7i77 boards you are using

[20:21:51] <Connor> yea. Just says Unused PWM Gen.
[20:22:02] <cmorley> yep thats them
[20:22:17] <Connor> okay. IMHO PWM != ANALOG
[20:22:56] <Connor> I'm guessing that the breakout board has PWM to Analog converters.. It's just misleading.

[20:29:25] <andypugh> Is there an online G-code simulator that understands RS274NGC O-codes?
[20:29:47] <Jymmm> cmorley: and a big box of baking soda too =)
[20:29:55] <cmorley> Connor: actually I'm not sure how the 7i77 makes the analog signal - it was a case of ease / speed of programming.
[20:30:13] <andypugh> For unclear reasons I can't even run a sim version under VirtualPC
[20:30:25] <cmorley> lol good plan Jymmm
[20:30:31] <Connor> cmorley: you wrote the pncconf ?
[20:30:37] <cmorley> yes
[20:30:39] <Jymmm> cmorley: Actually, I catty Baking Soda in my FAK
[20:30:46] <Jymmm> carry
[20:30:48] <Connor> add in the MPG's then. :)
[20:31:01] <cmorley> There are
[20:31:02] <Jymmm> Miles Per Gallon?
[20:31:37] <Connor> No. the lowspeed encoders for Manual Pulse Generator smart a$$
[20:31:38] <cmorley> encoders can be mpgs
[20:32:01] <Connor> Yes. But, they've added 2 low speed ones.. check with pcw_home
[20:32:14] <Jymmm> cmorley: Most ppl dont consider chemical burn potential in their FAK.
[20:32:37] <Connor> The latest 7I77 firmware also has 2 MPG inputs available on 4 of the field I/O pins so you dont need to waste high speed encoder inputs on a MPG.
[20:32:45] <Connor> as does the 7i76
[20:32:54] <andypugh> Jymmm: Most people (me included) haven't the foggiest idea what an FAK is.
[20:33:36] <cmorley> ya i looked it up it's still not clear ...
[20:34:06] <cmorley> Connor I have not seen this new firmware
[20:35:04] <Connor> (12:12:31 AM) Connor: which pins does it tie to on both the 7i76 and 7i77 ?
[20:35:04] <Connor> (12:13:11 AM) pcw_home: I think its IN16,17,18,19
[20:35:04] <Connor> (12:13:23 AM) pcw_home: its in the manual
[20:36:15] <andypugh> I added the ability to flash sserial remotes recently (man setsserial). Admittedly I have only managed to brick cards with it, but Pete says it works some of the time for him :-)
[20:37:24] <andypugh> Let me try another tack with the first question, is anyone willing to preview some G-code for me before I post it to the forum and end up looking stupid?
[20:37:30] <cmorley> ahh yes mode 3, pncconf is not ready to cover different modes yet - it's a big change

[20:42:38] -!- bedah has quit [Quit: bye]
[20:42:41] <cmorley> to be honest, 5i25 support is not really official until linuxcnc carries it in it's repo - and I'm not sure that's gonna happen
[20:43:06] <Connor> Why?
[20:43:51] <andypugh> I guess partly because the 5i25 doesnt use firmware
[20:44:11] <Connor> It doesn't ?
[20:44:16] <cmorley> two fold, the 5i25 doesn't need firmware to work - it already has it, and the linuxcnc firmware repo is way behind in version
[20:46:58] <Connor> you mean 5i25 support in general into linuxcnc or what ?
[20:47:10] <cmorley> Peter has built XML files for pncconf and there are close to working. unfortunately they are different from linuxcnc repo
[20:47:34] <cmorley> no no 5i25 is fully supported in linuxcnc
[20:47:53] <andypugh> In some ways it is a pity that the LinuxCNC repo exists, as it was cereated but never maintained or moreged.
[20:47:57] <cmorley> not officially supported in pncconf
[20:48:38] <Connor> Ah. Yea. I downloaded the xml files from the forum...
[20:48:42] <cmorley> andy: and no documents so some one could work on it
[20:48:59] <cmorley> yes that is my only way to support the 5i25
[20:51:00] <andypugh> I guess you could push the XML to the repository?
[20:51:09] <cmorley> for pncconf I don't need the firmware compiled on the repo - i only need the XML file placed in the firmware file. I just don't know how to add that capability to the repo nor do I know if I even can
[20:53:25] <andypugh> Nght all
[20:53:35] -!- andypugh has quit [Quit: KVIrc 4.2.0 Equilibrium http://www.kvirc.net/]
[20:54:03] <cmorley> Anyways pncconf needs some work, but I'm preoccupied with Gscreen at the moment.
[20:54:16] <Connor> so, you need to mod the xml so it shows the MPG for INI16,17 and 18,19
[20:56:30] <jdh> I know a guy that worked at a place that said anytime a person said "you need to..." or "someone should..." it became their responsibility to do so.
[20:56:55] <cmorley> no, it's much more complicated. right now pncconf really has no way to keep track of modes and serial ports, it assumes there is only one of each.
[20:57:13] <cmorley> it doesn't know there are components that are just MPGs
[20:57:43] <Connor> Ah. So, basicly, I'm just going to have to manually do it ?
[20:58:05] <cmorley> and yes it doesn'y know about the difference between the modes, which is not spelled out i the XML, you just have to program the differennces
[20:58:16] <cmorley> yep
[20:58:24] <Jymmm> jdh: Someone should jump around like a chicken!
[20:58:54] <Connor> Not sure I know what you mean by modes yet.. I don't even have a MESA card.. Just doing research for guy who's converting his Arrow 500 to linuxcnc.
[20:59:17] <jdh> with servos?
[21:00:25] <Connor> jdh: Yup.
[21:00:32] <cmorley> modes change what pins are available, mode 0 all digital I/o, mode 1 digital and analog, mode 3 digital,analog,mpgs
[21:01:40] <Connor> and your basicly only dealing with the one connector too.. right? not the 2nd ?
[21:02:09] <cmorley> Pncconf does both conectors
[21:03:02] <cmorley> 77i7x1 is for one 7i77 daughter board and the other connector is digital I/O
[21:03:22] -!- ve7it [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[21:03:53] <Connor> okay. Was trying to figure out how to use it with 7i76 or 7i77 on just the 2nd connector..
[21:03:54] -!- mephux has quit [Excess Flood]
[21:04:22] <Connor> On my system, when I go to mesa.. I have my PC and controllers on a single case.. no need for external cable..
[21:04:40] <jdh> I found something that looked close in pncconf, had it generate the file, then edited everything.
[21:05:43] <jdh> seems like I had to modify some other config's xml file before it would do that.
[21:05:44] <Connor> okay I/O 2 and SmartSerial 0 are internal or external ?
[21:05:48] <cmorley> Connor you could use 7i77x2 and not use the first connector but that seems a waste of pins :)
[21:06:29] <cmorley> smart serial 0 is internal - it's the 7i77
[21:07:00] <Connor> back in just minute.
[21:07:45] <Connor> Okay. I/O connector 2 and I/O connector 3.. db25 and 26 pin headers ?
[21:07:53] <Connor> or the breakouts ?
[21:08:02] <cmorley> yes they are the 5i25
[21:08:44] <Connor> okay. So I/O 2, db25 or 26 pin header ?
[21:08:52] <cmorley> ok i know it's not very clear or intuitive
[21:09:14] <Connor> cmorley: Not knocking you.. Just trying to get it clear in my head for when I need to set it up.
[21:09:14] <cmorley> ahh I can't remember lol :)
[21:12:15] <cmorley> some of the problem is pncconf shows how the components are set up internally. For instance you see the encoders are shown on the 5i25 I/O connector but you actually wire them to the 7i77
[21:12:50] <cmorley> the fact is the encoders ARE on the 5i25 they are just passed though to the 7i77
[21:13:59] <Connor> right. I would reference the BOB to make it easier.. most people aren't going to reference the 5i25 direct, and with that, reference the connector of the 5i25 TOO (just not the pin)
[21:15:08] <cmorley> p3 is the DB25
[21:15:40] <frallzor> how fun, losing steps now.
[21:15:53] <frallzor> what can cause this fun issue? =)
[21:16:41] <cmorley> Connor it's that we are stretching PNCconf to cover the 5i25 which is an odd duck compared to what I started PNCconf for.
[21:16:45] -!- vladimirek has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[21:17:37] <cmorley> the connector is referenced P3 - I just couldn't remember which that one was
[21:18:20] <cmorley> if you look at smartserial 1 if mentions TB5
[21:19:09] <cmorley> but yes that actual pin number in pncconf is the component number and you have to look up in the manual to convert it to connector pin number.
[21:20:00] <cmorley> if you push the help button and select the output tab it's supposed to have some more info about that
[21:28:07] <Connor> cmorley: Understood. Like I said, New to mesa stuff.. and pncconf is new too.. so.. just trying to figure it out so I don't look like a idiot in front of this guy when I start configuring it. :)
[21:29:14] <cmorley> lol I hear you. If you select 7i77x2 and click the help page you will see more info for the pin numbers - I guess I didn't make one for 7i77x1
[21:31:12] <frallzor> hmm if you set baser persiod maximum jitter too high (just to be safe) can it cause losing steps of running too fast?
[21:31:16] <frallzor> *base
[21:31:24] <frallzor> *base period even
[21:31:34] <Connor> yes
[21:31:43] <Connor> it can't generate the steps fast enough.
[21:31:46] <frallzor> Guess its whats happening then
[21:31:55] <frallzor> got like 5-6K max in the test
[21:31:57] <Connor> need to lower your max IPM
[21:32:00] <frallzor> set it to 12K
[21:32:14] <frallzor> not that good I assume

[21:33:51] <Connor> err. turn OFF
[21:34:09] <Connor> and I think I'm running 3.5k on mine.
[21:34:37] <frallzor> or no I got like 3-4K on the base maximum test
[21:34:45] <frallzor> but I set it to 12K in the stepconf
[21:34:50] <frallzor> thought I was playing safe
[21:35:02] <frallzor> but it seems now It does more bad than good?
[21:35:03] <Connor> but it at 4 or 5k and be done with it.
[21:35:25] <Connor> too slow, and you limit your top speed. too fast and it can't keep up.
[21:35:40] <frallzor> seems like its that last one happening.
[21:35:55] <frallzor> If I change stepconf, does it reset ini files and hals?
[21:35:59] <frallzor> or just stepconf?
[21:35:59] <Connor> higher the number, the slower it is.. lower the number the faster it is.
[21:36:13] <Connor> both.
[21:36:22] <Connor> you make any custom changes to the ini and hal file ?
[21:36:30] <frallzor> yes
[21:36:41] <frallzor> guess I have to save them so I can fix it later then
[21:36:48] <frallzor> just a single line in the ini though
[21:36:54] <Connor> What *I* do in the past. is copy the original stepconf file and configs as a new name.. make the change, and compare.
[21:37:05] <skunkworks> 12k base period?
[21:37:17] <Connor> I don't recall if it makes other changes or not.
[21:37:24] <Connor> skunkworks: yea. he set it to 12k
[21:37:26] <frallzor> I thought I was playing it safe skunkworks =)
[21:37:46] <frallzor> never realized It could mess things up
[21:38:05] <Connor> it doesn't. you just didn't lower your max IPM down to match it.
[21:38:20] <skunkworks> ah - no. You would probably start at 25us
[21:38:21] <frallzor> Well If I run too fast I does mess up

[21:38:37] -!- LeelooMinai [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[21:38:44] <Connor> That's what I'm saying. If you lower your max IPM down to match what 12k can support.. then you can't go too fast. :)
[21:39:08] <frallzor> though it seems I can set it lower without being ashamed of it =P
[21:39:22] <Connor> but, to be honest... if you did this through stepconf.. I thought it adjusted the max IPM correctly..
[21:39:31] -!- LeelooMinai has quit [Remote host closed the connection]

[22:28:32] <frallzor> only between where it machined
[22:28:37] <frallzor> but its no super speed rapids
[22:29:12] <frallzor> where does one set rapids?
[22:29:15] <frallzor> the speed
[22:29:52] <Connor> MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY
[22:30:14] <Connor> and adjust MAX_FEED_OVERRIDE too..
[22:30:22] <Connor> it's 20% faster than MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY

[23:04:12] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: How many sticks of 1/8"x 36" SS Tig Welding rods in a LB typically?
[23:06:52] <JT-Shop> Jymmm: no clue

[23:07:21] <JT-Shop> yep
[23:07:35] <Jymmm> yep you do, or yep you dont?
