[01:30:16] <jdh> it isn't there until you add it

[02:01:39] <JesusAlos> I attempt stop spindle when push pause button in axis
[02:01:50] <JesusAlos> but can't when automode
[02:02:16] <Tom_itx> not a good idea anyway
[02:02:34] <Tom_itx> but i think you can
[02:03:19] <JesusAlos> I use spindle output to hot wire foam
[02:03:28] <JesusAlos> 2 axis machine
[02:03:35] <JesusAlos> I must stop
[02:04:25] <JesusAlos> I use : halui.spindle.start and halui.spindle.stop
[02:04:27] <Tom_itx> i can't remember if mine will allow that or not in auto mode
[02:04:44] <JesusAlos> but if machine is in automode do error
[02:08:03] <skunkworks> halui.program.is-paused (bit, out) - status pin telling that a program is paused
[02:08:10] <skunkworks> can you use that?

[02:16:51] <JesusAlos> the idea is pause spindle when push pause buton of axis, and turn on when quit pause
[02:17:27] <JesusAlos> the problem is the spndle is force on always
[02:18:01] <JesusAlos> for the gcode instruction or button on spindle, I think,
[02:18:18] -!- sumpfralle has quit [Read error: Operation timed out]
[02:18:50] <JesusAlos> and If I forde off with hal pin, is antagonistic function
[02:18:56] <JesusAlos> and do error
[02:23:03] <Tom_itx> what about writing a subroutine and calling it with a python component?
[02:23:11] <Tom_itx> i have a 'home' button like that
[02:28:57] <JesusAlos> I think that is the same case
[02:29:35] <JesusAlos> in one part of linuxcnc put spindle ON. In other part, put OFF
[02:30:02] <JesusAlos> is antagonistic function

[04:19:03] <sparr> I am using GRBL to run a desktop CNC mill. After running this gcode file all future moves I send to the controller result in it moving approx 10x as far as it should. What would cause that?
http://www.shapeoko.com/wiki/images/7/77/Hello_World_ShapeOko.txt
[04:20:31] <r00t4rd3d> yeah
[04:20:51] <ReadError> did you add your upgrades?
[04:21:10] <r00t4rd3d> just the extended carriages
[04:21:21] <r00t4rd3d> i need to cut the pieces for my new z axis
[04:23:13] <jdh> sparr: you do inches?
[04:23:41] <r00t4rd3d> or the other way around
[04:23:48] <sparr> jdh: pretty sure you nailed it, now I see that file switches from mm to inches, and it might be moving 25.4x as far as it should. thanks!
[04:25:30] <r00t4rd3d> sparr, what you get for speed out of that?
[04:25:45] <r00t4rd3d> like inch per minute
[04:25:52] <sparr> hmm?
[04:25:56] <sparr> feed rate?

[04:29:00] <r00t4rd3d> i know they can only take 1 line of gcode at a time
[04:29:56] <sparr> not sure what my max is
[04:30:02] <sparr> let me see if I can reach it
[04:30:29] <r00t4rd3d> what where you getting?
[04:30:55] <AR_> shapeoko is belt drive, should be pretty fast
[04:31:04] <sparr> the firmware defaulted to 1100mm/min
[04:31:26] <sparr> so 43"/min
[04:31:26] <AR_> eh, could do faster than that
[04:31:32] <sparr> can surely do much faster
[04:34:12] <sparr> 270"/min seems to work fine
[04:34:54] <sparr> and that's faster than I expect I'll ever want to go with an actual tool in use
[04:34:57] <sparr> even just a plotter
[04:35:52] <sparr> the working area is only about 36"x12" currently, soon to be 36x36
[04:36:35] <r00t4rd3d> same as mine
[04:37:33] <r00t4rd3d> i cant believe even the grbl shield is better then the tb6560
[04:37:40] <AR_> hrm.. and to think I spent about $900 building a machine with a 7x7" work area..
[04:38:01] <AR_> really more like 6x6
[04:38:24] <r00t4rd3d> i spent about 8 originally
[04:38:46] <AR_> i have to sell some of the parts i didnt use
[04:38:57] <r00t4rd3d> you have more of a mill
[04:39:03] <AR_> yeah
[04:39:42] <r00t4rd3d> i have a redneck router
http://i.imgur.com/rci2py7.jpg
[04:40:13] <AR_> you spent 800 on that?
[04:40:43] <sparr> for electronics I went with the printrboard
[04:40:50] <AR_> nice electronics enclosure
[04:40:54] <sparr> this isn't done yet:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJulcba1WAc
[04:41:18] <sparr> i think my total cost so far is around $500
[04:41:27] <sparr> another $80 in material coming to make it wider
[04:41:49] <r00t4rd3d> AR_, that pic was after a couple hundred in upgrades
[04:42:07] <Tom_itx> ok remote start works now
[04:42:51] <r00t4rd3d> when i first built my router it was all mdf
[04:42:52] <AR_> r00t4rd3d, see, this is where i fell into the trap
[04:43:18] <AR_> looking at all the DIY machines, I figured, 'man, i could easily build those for so much cheaper'
[04:43:27] <AR_> but then... yeah...
[04:43:28] <Tom_itx> thanks jdh
[04:43:34] <AR_> i found out i was wrong

[04:44:15] <jdh> ?
[04:44:29] <Tom_itx> i got the program run working
[04:44:31] <Tom_itx> thanks
[04:44:36] <jdh> cool
[04:44:40] <Tom_itx> i had to invert the pin but...
[04:44:42] <AR_> lol
[04:44:45] <jdh> r00t: ditch the habit
[04:44:56] <AR_> r00t4rd3d, on my controller board that's the same as yours
[04:45:03] <AR_> when i went to wire up my limit switches
[04:45:08] <jdh> TB on a board?
[04:45:13] <AR_> i found that two of the input pins didnt work!
[04:45:25] <AR_> turns out two of those optocoupler chips were bad
[04:45:37] <AR_> i wonder how many of the other ones are that i havent ever used
[04:45:51] <Tom_itx> jdh, the behavior wasn't what i expected though
[04:46:01] <Tom_itx> i figured it would start running code right away
[04:46:07] <r00t4rd3d> my tb6560 has been flawless
[04:46:11] <jdh> ifyou are automode?
[04:46:12] <r00t4rd3d> other then slow as fuck
[04:46:15] <Tom_itx> but instead it starts the program but puts it in pause mode
[04:46:33] <r00t4rd3d> I can only get it to go 18ipm
[04:46:50] <jdh> using 12v?
[04:46:56] <r00t4rd3d> 24v
[04:47:27] <r00t4rd3d> my motors are small though too kinda
[04:48:07] <AR_> my Z axis i have set the slowest at 9600 steps per inch, 20ipm
[04:48:07] <jdh> crank it up to 30
[04:48:07] <r00t4rd3d> https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10847
[04:48:12] <jdh> if you have a spare.
[04:48:31] <jdh> that's tiny
[04:48:36] <AR_> i have my X and Y running over 30ipm with a belt reduction
[04:49:13] <tjtr33> Tom_itx: maybe the mode is stepbystep /blockbyblock instead of fullrun/automatic
[04:49:13] <AR_> like 32000 steps per inch or something
[04:49:14] <tjtr33> ( different controls call the modes different things but they all have modes )
[04:49:20] <r00t4rd3d> i need a gecko and bigger motors
[04:51:05] <AR_> i'm going to actually try milling some parts tomorrow
[04:51:08] <AR_> limit switch mounts
[04:51:21] <jdh> I need some of those
[04:52:43] <AR_> i'm going to just try island milling a block to get two posts that fit snugly in the two holes on the switch
[04:53:13] <jdh> heh, that sounds like more effort than drilling/tapping
[04:53:22] <jdh> but, if it fits, it will be cool
[04:53:24] <r00t4rd3d> more so for 6x6
[04:53:32] <AR_> http://snag.gy/MY55R.jpg
[04:54:01] <r00t4rd3d> wtf is that program?
[04:54:05] <AR_> mastercam
[04:55:08] <jdh> I could see doing that if you were pocketing the switch. Otherwise, seems excessive.
[04:55:35] <r00t4rd3d> if you would have put your motors on the other way you would have 3 more inches of travel
[04:56:09] <AR_> lol not really
[04:56:18] <AR_> i only can crash into my X motor
[04:56:39] <AR_> i could get a longer belt and mount it out further to clear it
[04:57:20] <AR_> the limiting factor was the 350mm long bearing rails
[04:57:33] <r00t4rd3d> hopefully this summer I can sell some crack and build a 4x4
[04:57:39] <AR_> yeah
[04:58:37] <r00t4rd3d> i need 350oz motors
[05:01:35] <AR_> i need 450 oz
[05:01:58] <AR_> nah actually those would just twist my machine

[05:05:45] <Tom_itx> tjtr33, i think it's more of a safety feature
[05:06:00] -!- sparr has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
[05:06:17] <Tom_itx> it switches to auto but asserts the pause signal
[05:06:36] <Tom_itx> then i hit my pause/resume and it starts
[05:07:38] <tjtr33> ok, but it acts differently than the button on the main gui, so i spose' the code has to be check thru to find the missing bits
[05:08:08] <tjtr33> its a great idea ( i can see even a 2 button hands safety use )

[05:09:07] <Tom_itx> my pause/resume is different

[05:13:32] -!- AR_ has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
[05:14:18] <Tom_itx> i can stop it while in auto mode and it messes with the pause/resume button
[05:14:18] <Tom_itx> i thought thru the logic once but i haven't acutally applied it yet
[05:15:16] <tjtr33> hah the pause & resume reminds me, we built an edm to rough the surface up on a transfer belt
[05:15:22] <tjtr33> ( metal belt with holes and edges like camera film). the die press would advance one hole,
[05:15:23] <tjtr33> a forth based uP would push buttons on an Elox EDM and cut for a time, then tell the die press to punch another hole
[05:15:52] <tjtr33> being able to fake button presses is handy

[09:05:27] <mrsun_> i could just make a antibacklash nut but the bastards have made left handed thread on the Z axis screw :P
[09:06:36] <archivist> lh is nearly as easy on a lathe :)
[09:07:59] <mrsun_> archivist, i guess, but its like an M8 nut :P
[09:08:03] <mrsun_> i guess i could make a tap
[09:08:15] <mrsun_> and make a antibacklash nut out of delrin or something
[09:10:48] <mrsun_> annoying thing with stiction in the Z is that when moving down to a cut the backlash gets Z in the downstroke, then you start cutting and it falls down like 0.1mm more :P
[09:24:50] <Jymmm> Does anyone know anything about flywheels? In a nutshell, in a hand crank situation, would it be beneficial? Drawbacks?
[09:25:38] <Jymmm> Could I use a "container" and fill it up with water as needed for the mass?
[09:28:00] <archivist> hehe no
[09:28:13] <Jymmm> what if I "gel" the water
[09:28:35] <archivist> use a lump of a real solid
[09:28:58] <Jymmm> sand in a compartmental "mass"?
[09:29:10] <Jymmm> like a sliced pie.
[09:29:16] <archivist> no
[09:29:20] <archivist> use a solid
[09:29:46] <Jymmm> ok, solid. what about the benefits/drawbacks?
[09:30:00] <archivist> the forces in flywheels need some understanding
[09:30:33] <Jymmm> I'm thinking like the old foot powered sewing machines
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3607/3458383777_ac04f5fc68.jpg
[09:31:08] <Jymmm> It had a 12-14" wheel, I guess that was the mass.

[09:33:38] <Jymmm> I used one of those a long time ago, it took very little effort, and your foot only traveled about 3" total.
[09:34:47] <archivist> a sewing machine needs little effort, it having a flywheel has no relation
[09:36:07] <R2E4> Hi guys. I am looking for some direction. I have a Bridgeport series 1 R2E4 boss 9 coming 2 march and I want to strip the elecs and put a new system in and use existing servo motors and encoders.
[09:36:41] <archivist> the flywheel is like a capacitor in a power supply, you provide intermittent power and the flywheel accepts the power and gives it out smoothing the action
[09:37:07] <Jymmm> stored mechanical energy
[09:37:13] <R2E4> I dont want to use step and dir, so am turning to LinuxCNC. I am trying to find one of the documented bords that would talk to the servo's.
[09:37:35] <archivist> R2E4, keep lurking I think others have done those too
[09:37:42] <Loetmichel> moin
[09:37:54] <Loetmichel> ups... mornin'
[09:38:32] <archivist> R2E4, most use mesa cards for servo systems
[09:39:25] <R2E4> OK, I'll start reading up on those.
[09:39:40] <archivist> R2E4, your existing servo amplifiers may be usable, so dont throw those too quickly
[09:40:11] <R2E4> I thought of that but what about reliability?
[09:40:39] <R2E4> I really don't want to have to worry about them blowing in a month or so after upgrade.
[09:40:49] <archivist> that I do not know, but some retro fits retain the amps
[09:41:14] <Jymmm> archivist: Basically what I want to do is use something like a drum peddle to crank a dc motor to generate electricity
[09:41:22] <R2E4> I'll keep that in mind..... thanks
[09:41:42] <Jymmm> archivist: Thus where the flywheel or just a large wheel (like the sewing machine) comes into play.
[09:42:23] <Jymmm> archivist: It's just a twist on the old hand crank generators.
[09:42:28] <archivist> Jymmm, just use a bicycle frame
[09:42:37] <Jymmm> archivist: Has to fit into a backpack.
[09:43:04] <R2E4> That would be a big backpack....
[09:43:07] <archivist> see the hand shake chargers
[09:43:37] <Jymmm> archivist: LOL, I have one of those flashlights.... phuk me, and it has a 1F cap in it =)
[09:43:43] <archivist> generating a reasonable amount needs effort
[09:44:27] <Jymmm> sure
[09:45:18] <archivist> flywheels are heavy
[09:45:22] <Jymmm> archivist: Got the idea from this 60s video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgRT6WAStaE
[09:45:37] <Jymmm> archivist: Right, thus the water/sand/etc

[09:53:37] <R2E4> I haven't used lnux since slackware 1.1 kernel so it might be interesting......
[09:54:12] <Jymmm> R2E4: Not all mobos can be used. and ost all laptops can NOT be used, though many try.
[09:54:22] <Jymmm> s/ost/most/
[09:54:49] <R2E4> I will get a box that will work. If I dont have one I will get one.
[09:55:40] <R2E4> Will the latency test give me a yah or nay or just a number?
[09:56:01] <Jymmm> a number, and run it for a minimum of 24 hours.
[09:56:35] <Jymmm> load up the machine, run everything, you want to kick the tires heavily
[09:57:08] <R2E4> Do I need to have the mesa cards in it or is this strickly to test the mobo etc...?

[10:03:39] <R2E4> so coming out of the 7i33TA's, is the servo amps and the encoders. So these boards handles the loop to close it or is that linuxcnc?
[10:03:44] <cncbasher> R2E4: the only point to clarify is if the servo motors are using encoders or resolvers
[10:04:00] <R2E4> they are encoders.
[10:04:26] <cncbasher> that will denote if a addon card is needed ,
[10:04:31] <R2E4> not very high resolutino I might add.

[11:35:53] <jthornton> archivist, I got to use my 15kW generator Thursday during the ice storm
[11:36:29] <archivist> mine has been resting for many years
[11:36:48] <archivist> needs a battery
[11:37:11] <cncbasher> archivist:time to give it a clean and use it
[11:37:30] <archivist> the fuels costs enough!
[11:38:02] <jthornton> mine is a 2 cylinder Deutz air cooled diesel
[11:38:17] <archivist> we used to use it as a museum for site power for a number of years, the whip round for fuel money was fun
[11:38:57] <archivist> I have a Perkin6 6.354 on mine 100hp ish
[11:39:09] <archivist> Perkins
[11:39:28] <jthornton> that would be hard to hand crank
[11:40:00] <jthornton> a hydraulic starter would be better than a battery starter for a back up generator IMHO
[11:40:31] <archivist> fun was when it would run out while a person was in a boiler flue needle gunning the rust, poor bugger has to get out in the pitch black
[11:41:21] <jthornton> I used to hate when the needle gunners worked near me in the shipyard

[11:43:13] <jthornton> Jymmm, yes a common thing for diesel engine
[11:43:46] <Jymmm> hand pumped hydraulics?
[11:43:46] <archivist> or a spinning flywheel on a no-break gen set
[11:43:56] <jthornton> a hand pump, a hydraulic motor an accumulator, and a lever
[11:44:01] <Jymmm> ah
[11:44:14] <Jymmm> Just never heard of such a thing.
[11:44:21] <jthornton> if the accumulator is pressured up you just kick the lever to start the motor
[11:44:34] <jthornton> if not you pump your ass off then kick the lever
[11:44:42] <Jymmm> heh
[11:44:53] <roh> hydraulic starters seem fancy

[11:45:18] <Jymmm> and hope it starts the first time?
[11:45:24] <jthornton> 's had air starters
[11:45:27] * Loetmichel hat compressed aur starters on the Diesel engine at the navy
[11:45:29] <jthornton> yep
[11:45:46] <Loetmichel> 3500 HP 16 cyl turbodiesels
[11:45:53] <Loetmichel> air
[11:46:21] <Loetmichel> 2 engines, 2 "cans" with 120 liters 60 bar compressed air each.
[11:46:26] <roh> i guess batteries are easier to maintain without proper training. every car mechanic knows such stuff. hydraulic starters only people know who work on big engines
[11:46:35] <Loetmichel> just enough for 3 start-trials
[11:46:47] <archivist> I used to play with a Brush opposed twin with air start and a 3 ton flywheel on it
[11:47:23] <Loetmichel> if these failed: go in the stern of the ship, handcrank the 2 cyl 10hp diesel air compressor to life, wait 2 hrs ;-)
[11:47:31] <Jymmm> roh: I'm hearing more and more ppl are installing lil solar panels on their rarely used gear to maintain the battery making it last 3+ years
[11:47:52] <jthornton> the hydraulic starters were on 12 cylinder engines, not so big about 4' tall or so and 8' long V12's
[11:47:54] <Jymmm> roh: tractors, snow mobiles, riding mowers,e tc
[11:49:15] <roh> Jymmm: thats an option if you got them standing outside all the time
[11:49:30] <Jymmm> long cable
[11:49:44] <roh> then you can also hook em up to the grid
[11:50:27] <Jymmm> nah, no fun in that
[11:51:10] <Jymmm> Heh, diesel MC
http://www.dieselbike.net/privateproduction/dieselchopper.jpg
[11:51:27] <roh> dont get me wrong.. i like solar. but it think its a sign of wrong thinking if one only uses it to maintain batteries used to start gas guzzlink gear
[11:51:53] <Jymmm> as opposed to what?
[11:51:54] <roh> so i'd rather see solar powering a local grid which you can also hook up battery chargers to
[11:52:24] <Jymmm> I'd rather get OFF THE GRID =)
[11:52:35] <Jymmm> under the radar too =)

[13:53:33] <Loetmichel> it is installed iirc
[13:54:21] <cncbasher> no
[13:54:43] <cncbasher> sudo apt-get install lm-sensors sensors-applet
[13:55:18] <cncbasher> the other i am aware of is computertemp
[13:55:26] <Loetmichel> done that a while ago
[13:57:22] <cncbasher> http://www/lm-sensors.org
[13:58:08] <Loetmichel> hmmm... just run the sensors-detect-script ... CNC rebooting... lets see...
[13:58:29] <cncbasher> http://www.lm-sensors.org/
[13:59:05] <Loetmichel> its not like i NEED thos temps, but as the lid of the pizzabox is 2mm abvove the coufan i feel safer to see the temps ;-)

[13:59:39] <cncbasher> yea it's close
[13:59:46] <Loetmichel> its a BIT crammed inside there ;-)
[14:00:22] <Loetmichel> ha, FINE.... sensords-detect did the trick
[14:01:21] <cncbasher> great
[14:02:49] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=14061
[14:03:02] <Loetmichel> .... note to self: installing is sometimes not enough ;-)
[14:04:07] <cncbasher> glad u have it all working
[14:06:18] <Loetmichel> thanks
[14:06:48] <Loetmichel> now i just have do dismaltle the CNC bcause one of the couplers is slipping.. (y axis) :-(

[14:07:53] <Loetmichel> should make me some new ones from aluminium, the POM ones are not as sturdy as thought, had to repair the x coupler some time ago as well :-( ->

[14:07:59] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=12566

[14:09:56] -!- taf has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
[14:11:59] <Loetmichel> i am a bit shy of aluminium for the couplers because of the bending that occurs, dont the alu weaken over time?
[14:12:38] <Loetmichel> or should i use this style:
http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=12846 ?
[14:13:03] <cncbasher> if your shafts are central and axialy in line you should not have any problem
[14:13:13] <cncbasher> iv'e never had one break
[14:13:38] <Loetmichel> ok...
[14:14:20] <cncbasher> if you have a slight difference in axial direction then the last one would be better
[14:14:52] <cncbasher> but i have some huge ones on 3 machines and never had a problem
[14:15:04] <Loetmichel> then i will tighten the y coupler and begin to make some youplers wit the slots in it from aluminimum rod... $me is searching for his mini saw blade and mount for the spindle ;-)
[14:15:09] <cncbasher> there 100mm long and 50mm dia
[14:15:28] <Loetmichel> mine are a lot smaller
[14:16:00] <Loetmichel> about 16mm dia and 40mm long
[14:16:10] <Loetmichel> its a small machine, also ;-)
[14:16:19] <cncbasher> dont worry they will be fine

[15:05:13] <jensor> I've found a solution to fixing the problem of one axis limiting the velocity on a single axis G0 call.
[15:05:59] <jensor> Just configure the fastest axis as [AXIS_0]
[15:06:28] <jensor> Because that axis limits the others
[15:14:39] <archivist> that looks like a bug
[15:16:15] -!- gmag [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[15:16:43] <skunkworks> I have not run into that. I know that the K&T has its max velocity as sqr(x^2+y^2+z^2)
[15:19:18] <Jymmm> log(r2d2^c3p0)
[15:19:25] quiron is now known as Guest94875
[15:21:54] <Jymmm> skunkworks: How did you determine that?
[15:34:23] <skunkworks> because that is what I calculated - if all axis are moving at max velocity - its combined velocity is sqr(x^2+y^2+z^2)
[15:34:44] <rizo> i would like to control linear bldc motor using bldc.comp. I configured the hal so that i can home the motor. The problem is that when i set the bldc. value to some max value, the motor does not accelerate, but just stays still. If i print the bldc.output i can see the 90deg lag between the phase angle and rotor angle. Why is the motor not moving than?
[15:35:25] <Jymmm> skunkworks: So that's basically theoretical, not actually one axis being slower than the others?
[15:35:27] <rizo> The motor stays still with the current set to maxvalue.
[15:38:15] <skunkworks> well - linuxcnc when G0'ing - is showing correctly

[16:19:59] <cradek> I can't reproduce that problem and I replied on the forum saying exactly what I did to test it.
[16:20:48] <cradek> I did not try stepper because I do not have realtime here. but if it was a stepper maxvel setting problem, you'd get an ferror right away.
[16:21:47] <skunkworks> my thoughts exactly
[16:21:52] -!- taf [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[16:22:22] <skunkworks> his ini and hal file look ok - It seems as if the max velocity setting in the traj section isn't being read.
[16:23:17] <cradek> someone in the forum suggested maybe he isn't running the config he thinks he is. I've done that. it might be some silly problem like that...?
[16:24:20] <cradek> trying to reproduce it in sim, making minimal changes to one of the sim configs shipped with 2.5.1, would be a great idea

[16:34:05] <r00t4rd3d> probably do that with mini emc2 i guess

[17:31:23] <pcw_home> rizo bldc.N.drive-offset maybe
[17:31:25] <pcw_home> does the QI mode move the carriage at startup? (it should)
[17:32:15] <R2E4> ah cool.
[17:34:04] <rizo> pcw_home, there is no such input
[17:35:26] <rizo> maybe i should use angle and value and feed the crafe fith ofset?
[17:35:39] <rizo> maybe i should use angle and value and feed the crake with offset?
[17:36:41] <pcw_home> I copied that from the manual...
[17:38:23] <pcw_home> thatres also bldc.N.lead-angle (default 90 is probably correct for your drives)
[17:38:41] <pcw_home> s/thatres/theres/
[17:38:53] <rizo> i see... thank you
[17:39:04] <rizo> yes, i think 90 is ok
[17:40:34] <pcw_home> to get qi mode to work the motor needs to do a homing move at startup (initiated by rising edge of bldc.N.init)
[17:41:51] <rizo> i have this and it works fine
[17:41:55] <pcw_home> bldc.N.initvalue must be set to somthing reasonable for this to happen
[17:43:07] <pcw_home> then there mus be some offset to tell BLDC the index offset from rotor position (bldc.N.drive-offset i think)
[17:43:48] <pcw_home> well s/rotor/carriage/
