[00:24:38] <LeelooMinai> I need a sanitu check for my CNC frame construction:)
[00:24:44] <LeelooMinai> sanity*
[00:24:59] -!- L33TG33KG34R [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:27:43] <chopper79> Andypugh, pcw, cradek - I will be off for about an hour or little longer. I need a break, something about 9hrs of fighting this per day for the past week has done me in. Going to buy some seeds for our garden and eat dinner. If you guys are on still I will connect again and see what happens.
[00:28:09] <LeelooMinai> I was going to use solid aluminum beams, but that would end up to be too expensive. Plan B is to use hollow tubes and matched solid blocks at the ends to "plug" them. I would fill the tubes with sand for weight and vibration dumpening. I planned to attach the blocks to the tubes by some cap screws on the edge and maybe put JB Weld there to make sure it's not moving... The idea is that I have time to do all of this, but I cannot
[00:28:09] <LeelooMinai> really afford making a 60kg aluminum frame with cost being $5 per pund... Extrusions are too expensive for me too. You think my plan is sane?

[00:43:03] <Valen> extrusion is cheap
[00:43:09] <Valen> just don't get 80/20 stuff
[00:43:16] <Valen> also why not use steel if you want it heavy?
[00:43:38] <Valen> to glue use epoxy, jbweld is just expensivly packaged epoxy
[00:44:23] <LeelooMinai> 80/20 is not too cheap for me. I am in Canada and cannot get it from ebay since the shipping is expensive.
[00:44:39] <Valen> I said the 80/20 is expensive
[00:44:41] <LeelooMinai> Steel - I cannot deal with steel at home - I can only manage aluminium I htink
[00:44:46] <Valen> why not?
[00:44:56] <LeelooMinai> Well, ok, by 8020 I mean any extrusions really.
[00:45:14] <Valen> i'm pretty sure there will be aluminium stores in canada
[00:45:49] <LeelooMinai> I looked around - most are only interested in big buys. There is metalmarkets, but they don't have extrusions.
[00:46:07] <Valen> did you pick up the phone and call them?
[00:46:31] <LeelooMinai> Also, extrusions need a lot of specialized fasteners that are not that cheap fromw hat I have seen.
[00:46:37] <Valen> why?
[00:46:42] <Valen> you can just get RHS
[00:46:48] <Valen> your "hollow tube"
[00:46:50] <LeelooMinai> I can get simple tubes from metalmarkets though -
[00:46:52] <Valen> that is an extrusion
[00:47:20] <LeelooMinai> Yes, that's what I described above in my "plan" - using hollow tubes and solid blocks at the end inserted into them.
[00:47:55] <Valen> a "hollow tube" is generally an extrusion (in aluminium)
[00:48:18] <LeelooMinai> I am mostly wondering about that "block" part - if joining it to the tube with JB Weld + maybe some cap screws will give me enough strength/stiffness for the frame
[00:48:21] <Valen> take a look at epoxy granite
[00:48:46] <Valen> if you are gluing the strength comes from the surface area
[00:48:52] <Valen> jbweld isn't a great glue
[00:49:02] <LeelooMinai> Well, in this case it would be a substantial area
[00:49:21] <Valen> I'd be looking at doing it in steel and getting a cheapish welder
[00:49:26] <LeelooMinai> Sy, 2.5x2.5 inch tube with 0.25 inch walls and 2x2x2 solid cube inserted at the end
[00:49:42] <Valen> TIG, not mig, and *NOT* gassless mig
[00:50:02] <LeelooMinai> Well, as I said - steel is too hard-cire for me:)
[00:50:06] <LeelooMinai> core*
[00:50:19] <LeelooMinai> also, it's not much cheaper
[00:50:26] <LeelooMinai> Since it's, well, heavier
[00:50:40] <LeelooMinai> I know it's 3 times stronger, but still
[00:51:09] <Valen> whats hard about it?
[00:51:14] <LeelooMinai> But the problem is, I won't be able just cut steel tubes, wheras with aluminum beams I can handle it.
[00:51:18] <Valen> are you going to be milling abything?
[00:51:22] <Valen> why cant you cut it?
[00:51:57] <LeelooMinai> I bought nice non-ferrous circular saw blade - I invested in it jsut to cut those alu beams. I am not prepared for steel (no tools, no welder, no skills, etc.)
[00:52:15] <Valen> fairy nuff
[00:52:21] <LeelooMinai> The CNC is supposed to mill a bit in aluminum
[00:53:07] <LeelooMinai> BUt it's not very big - 50cm by 50cm footrpint for the frame
[00:54:50] <LeelooMinai> Ok, so, for those blocks - I could use somethiong different than that JB Weld?
[00:54:59] <Valen> yes, epoxy
[00:55:08] <LeelooMinai> But it is epoxy from what I understand
[00:55:20] <Valen> yes, but its full of stuff to make it into a putty
[00:55:24] <Valen> its also expesnive
[00:55:46] <Valen> you should be able to get a liter or two of a decent epoxy for ~$20-40
[00:55:50] <LeelooMinai> Ok, but doesn't it work better on metals than "mnormal" expoxy?
[00:56:13] <Valen> its the duct tape of the epoxy world
[00:56:25] <Valen> its not what you glue airbusses together with
[00:56:35] <Valen> (and yes they are glued together)
[00:57:18] <LeelooMinai> H,,. I will have 16 inch^2 area and pretty tight fit
[00:57:43] <LeelooMinai> What am I even looking for? Just any epoxy?
[00:57:51] <LeelooMinai> 6061T6 alu
[00:57:59] <Valen> IT feels like you are trying to build the machine from your hardware store, all stuff for nannas to use
[00:58:23] <LeelooMinai> na-what? :)
[00:58:35] <Valen> if you are prepared to use the phone and call suppliers (they generally aren't online) you can get the stuff the professionals use
[00:58:51] <Valen> http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2007/09/12/rg_nanna_wideweb__430x428,0.jpg
[00:59:29] <LeelooMinai> Right, well, I am researching...
[00:59:50] <Valen> thats a good place to start ;->
[01:00:03] <LeelooMinai> And calling random shops usually ends with them wanting a lot of money. Like one that quoted me $1k for some 16 by 16 MIC-6 plate:)
[01:00:07] <Valen> As i was saying, if you are doing wood you want acceleration more than most everything else
[01:00:36] <LeelooMinai> I am not doing wood - I want hobby CNC platform, that can allso mill (slowly is ok) some alu parts.
[01:00:38] <Valen> you need to 1) not sound like a chump and 2) know how they do stuff so you know whats cheap ;->
[01:01:15] <LeelooMinai> Well, that's great, but that's also why I asked here:)
[01:02:04] <LeelooMinai> I usually order things for my projects online though - I don't even have a car to drive around.
[01:02:50] <Valen> that will signifigantly hinder you getting stuff cheap lol
[01:03:07] <Valen> an OD of 500mm you could *almost* do in scrap
[01:03:11] <LeelooMinai> Hej, not really - I saved a lot by ordering from CHina/ebau/aliexpress
[01:03:21] <WalterN> o.0
[01:03:30] <WalterN> $600 for one of these...
http://www.luminapower.com/ldpc
[01:03:32] <Valen> for motors and bits sure
[01:03:44] <Valen> getting a few meters of pipe not so much
[01:03:45] <WalterN> thats bloody expensive
[01:04:37] <LeelooMinai> Valen: My plan for getting tubes is
http://www.metalsupermarkets.com/ - they have a place in my city. I was wondering mostly about the gluing part
[01:05:39] <LeelooMinai> For example - would epoxy by itself do, or I need cap screws too, or maybe only cap screws?
[01:05:59] <Valen> jb weld won't flow into the join, you want an epoxy, seal up the outside of the join with plasticine, then flood the joint with epoxy
[01:06:01] <WalterN> bah
[01:06:12] <WalterN> so what am I going to do about a power supply?
[01:06:23] <Valen> if you do it right and get everything clean epoxy would probably suffice
[01:06:43] <LeelooMinai> Valen: If a seal it, how can I flood it?
[01:07:03] <Valen> put the pipe up on end plug the end, seal the join
[01:07:08] <Valen> drill a hole in the pipe
[01:07:12] <Valen> fill the end with epoxy
[01:08:08] <LeelooMinai> Hmm... but if the fit is good, would it not stop the epoxy of flowing into the joint?
[01:09:49] <LeelooMinai> I thought it's applied like, I don't know, just glue - I would smear it on the surfaces and then slide together (?)
[01:11:02] <r00t4rd3d> if you stand in front of a lathe, does it spin forward or backward?
[01:28:30] <Valen> glue often works best with a thickness to work with
[01:28:39] <Valen> if you have 0 space you have 0 glue
[01:28:49] <Valen> r00t4rd3d: the top goes towards you

[01:31:53] <PetefromTn> Hey guys,gals...
[01:32:33] <Valen> I'd plan on a gap of around a mm, flood it with epoxy, and vibrate it

[01:40:01] <pcw_home> WalterN: you can use a voltage supply (say 3.3V) with a series resistor if you dont mind the power loss
[01:40:47] <Felix29> for a couple hundred mA, just get a LM317
[01:45:43] <pcw_home> ~45A
[01:46:12] <Felix29> oh, then you'll need a bigass resistor for that :>
[01:47:43] <pcw_home> ~28 mOhm 60W
[01:48:02] -!- zzolo has quit [Quit: zzolo]
[01:48:49] <Felix29> yeah that'll work
[01:49:09] <Felix29> can you buy those? i haven't used anything beyond 30W
[01:49:55] <pcw_home> I suspect you would have to cobble it together from bits and pieces
[01:50:21] <Felix29> i guess you could use 4 15W ones in parallel
[01:50:41] <Felix29> i think you can get 1 ohm 15W ones
[01:51:07] <Felix29> for some reason, though, even the idea seems ridiculous

[01:59:36] <LeelooMinai> Canada
[02:00:27] <L84Supper> would you be able to UV cure the outside of the epoxy?
[02:00:54] <L84Supper> take it out in the sun for 30 seconds
[02:00:59] <LeelooMinai> Maybe, yes
[02:02:32] <L84Supper> LeelooMinai: I guess Id' have to see what you have in mind, i was just reading back over the discussion
[02:03:00] <LeelooMinai> Just alu tubes close on both ends with solid-alu cubes
[02:03:05] <LeelooMinai> close=closed
[02:03:11] <LeelooMinai> And filled with sand
[02:03:37] <L84Supper> lose sand?
[02:03:55] <L84Supper> loose
[02:03:57] <LeelooMinai> Well, yes, jsut sand - for weight and vibration dampening
[02:05:37] <L84Supper> sand + polyester resin (used for fiberglass) is $36/gallon at Home Depot
[02:06:07] <LeelooMinai> Hmm, plyester resin - is that like epoxy?
[02:06:16] <L84Supper> it sets up like epoxy
[02:06:34] <LeelooMinai> BUt that would glue the cubes to tubes, right?
[02:06:58] <LeelooMinai> e're sorry, we were unable to find any matches for "polyester+resin" <- get this at Home Depot
[02:07:06] <L84Supper> yeah
[02:07:26] <L84Supper> http://www.homedepot.com/p/t/202077791?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=Fiberglass+Resin&storeId=10051&N=5yc1v&R=202077791
[02:07:44] <L84Supper> it comes with a tube of hardener
[02:08:09] <LeelooMinai> O, great - will look into it, thx
[02:08:09] <L84Supper> has a little MEKP in it
[02:08:23] <L84Supper> sets up like a rock
[02:08:30] <LeelooMinai> MEKP?
[02:08:36] <L84Supper> try some sand in the mix
[02:09:03] <L84Supper> even pebbles
[02:09:30] <LeelooMinai> Ok, well, but sand was only to fill the remaining tube void
[02:09:54] <LeelooMinai> The cube would be pretty close in dimensions to the inside of the tube
[02:10:06] <LeelooMinai> SO, not sure how pebbles fit there:)
[02:10:38] <L84Supper> like I said I'd have to see what you're doing
[02:10:49] <Valen> http://www.cnczone.com/forums/general_metal_working_machines/118358-phenolic_basalt_head_our_hm45.html
[02:11:00] <Valen> LeelooMinai: he is talking about to fill the tube
[02:11:08] <Valen> that is our "epoxy granite" head
[02:11:43] <L84Supper> seems like it was just yesterday
[02:11:56] <LeelooMinai> L84Supper: Right, ok, I don't really want to fill the whole tube with epoxy - just glue the solid alu cubes to its ends
[02:12:36] <L84Supper> what are the tubes made of?
[02:12:42] <LeelooMinai> 6061T6
[02:12:52] <L84Supper> aluminum to aluminum?
[02:12:56] <LeelooMinai> Yes
[02:13:24] <L84Supper> aluminum powder + fiberglass resin
[02:13:47] <L84Supper> since you can thread or weld for some reason
[02:13:48] <LeelooMinai> Wouldn't it be like this JD Weld ?
[02:13:59] <L84Supper> yeah, but far lower cost
[02:14:24] <jdh> where does one get powdered aluminum?
[02:14:51] <jdh> other than fine stuff for pyrotechnics
[02:15:08] <LeelooMinai> Well, I can tap + put cap screws in there too - not sure though if that would be enough to mekw this stiff for CNC frame
[02:15:16] <L84Supper> yeah for got it's not the 90's anymore
[02:15:28] <L84Supper> paint store that still makes paint
[02:15:45] <LeelooMinai> jdh: Aluminium block + course sandpaper + a lot of time? :)
[02:16:05] <L84Supper> http://compare.ebay.com/like/280490149763?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar
[02:16:08] <L84Supper> ebay
[02:17:08] <LeelooMinai> Ok, why is the powder helping in this case anyways?
[02:17:23] <jdh> makes it shiny and pretty!
[02:17:27] <jdh> and stronger for tapping
[02:17:32] <Valen> I wouldn't use al powder ;-P
[02:17:37] <L84Supper> it will raise the flexural modulus
[02:17:41] <Valen> talc if you want to thicken stuff
[02:18:12] <L84Supper> the resin I pointed to at Home Depot already has talc in it
[02:18:37] <L84Supper> http://www.carbon-fiber.us/west-system-420-aluminum-powder-6oz-p-153.html
[02:18:40] <Valen> vinyl ester resin is decent, though epoxy will generally be better in terms of stick to Al
[02:18:54] <Valen> more expensive though
[02:18:54] <LeelooMinai> Hmm, if I will have tight fit between those cubes and tubes - would resin do anything or it wouyld be futile?
[02:19:24] -!- PetefromTn has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[02:19:33] <L84Supper> how about just an interference fit
[02:19:42] <L84Supper> press it in
[02:20:12] <LeelooMinai> Since I will get 2.5x.2.5x1/4 tubes - which whill have inside area of 2 by 2 inch, and solid cubes of that size...
[02:20:54] <LeelooMinai> Well, I thought press it in + add 8 cap screws (2 on each side) + glue... not sure though now if glue will help with such tight fit
[02:21:31] <LeelooMinai> Maybe I worry too much and the whole beam will be stiff enough?
[02:21:48] -!- fllr has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[02:22:30] <L84Supper> ah I thought you wanted to stiffen and add weight to the tubes
[02:23:06] <LeelooMinai> Well, the purpose of the cubes is to allow joining the beams to flat surfaces really - but they will stiffen the tubes too
[02:24:42] <LeelooMinai> Without the cubes I would have no easy way to join the beams perpendiculary to flat plates/angles
[02:28:54] <LeelooMinai> I do this mostly because this way I will get the same stiffness for half the price (I hope)

[13:19:15] <chopper79> If I already have master on my pc and I want to ger the latest updates that have been made then I would use a git pull correct?
[13:19:54] <jthornton> aye
[13:21:19] <r00t4rd3d> no, sync.
[13:23:52] <r00t4rd3d> well i guess pull would work too

[13:24:45] <ReadError> aspire is dumb
[13:24:55] <ReadError> if you copy a part with a toolpath, you would think it would associate it ;/
[13:25:56] <r00t4rd3d> You can copy and paste the tool paths also
[13:26:33] <chopper79> Thank you and from a previous conversation it appears JA3 is now in master. Once I launch linuxcnc 2.6 pre is there a simulator or a special area I need to go to launch the JA3 branch?
[13:26:56] <r00t4rd3d> ReadError, try Plate Production

[13:29:22] <r00t4rd3d> its the icon with the ABC and squares
[13:30:22] <r00t4rd3d> I reuse vectors when designing for quickness, if tool paths where coped with them, that would suck.
[13:33:02] <r00t4rd3d> With Plate Production making the same part with the same tool path is simple and quick
[13:34:16] <r00t4rd3d> I like using it also because you can set the distance easily between your parts for bit to fit
[13:36:16] <ReadError> well i was using mirroring
[13:36:22] <ReadError> or i mean
[13:36:24] <ReadError> linear copy
[13:37:56] <r00t4rd3d> you really should go around clicking all the icons and see what they do.
[13:39:17] <jdh> then you can get a job as a windows 'admin'!

[13:56:14] <gabe_willen> Im getting very frustrated , i cant seem to get comp working correctly on this machine. It isn't finding the includes
[13:56:29] <gabe_willen> on my other machine, that i tested it on, it had no problem
[13:57:01] <gabe_willen> its linuxcnc-dev from the apt-get
[13:57:26] <gabe_willen> i tried editing the Makefile.modinc adding -I/usr/inc but the it through's redfine error's
[13:57:36] <gabe_willen> then*
[14:01:17] <chopper79> I seelct a configuration after launching the configuration selection on 2.6 pre and I recieve error messages on everyone I launch. .hal_lib.so: connot open shared object file: no such file or directory. This also is the same arror but substitue .hal_lib.so for gantrykins.so. Also has rtapi_app excited without becoming ready.
[14:01:55] <chopper79> Any guidence on why the included simulation files will not launch? Did I forget a step when building 2.6 pre
[14:02:46] <r00t4rd3d> touch .hal_lib.so
[14:02:52] <JT-Shop> what steps did you take

[14:03:42] <JT-Shop> which one?
[14:04:19] <chopper79> guess that would help....... 2.2
[14:04:41] <JT-Shop> and the build you used 2.5?
[14:04:42] <chopper79> sorry started at 2.3 since I aleady had master installed
[14:05:49] <JT-Shop> and to run you did . ./scripts/rip-environment in the terminal?
[14:06:03] <JT-Shop> 2.9
[14:06:07] <chopper79> yes then linuxcnc
[14:06:24] <chopper79> splash screen for 2.6 pre shows up and the cinfig selector shows up
[14:06:50] <chopper79> config
[14:06:53] <JT-Shop> when you did make did you get the prompt saying to run sudo make setuid?
[14:07:04] <chopper79> no
[14:07:11] <JT-Shop> make failed then
[14:07:20] <chopper79> ok so I will start fresh
[14:07:28] <JT-Shop> do a make clean
[14:07:31] <JT-Shop> then make
[14:08:35] <r00t4rd3d> ./configure --enable-run-in-place
[14:08:39] <r00t4rd3d> is that needed?

[14:09:30] -!- mhaberler has quit [Quit: mhaberler]
[14:10:10] <chopper79> ok I did make clean and then make and compiling is happening now
[14:10:43] <carper64_lb> make failed on my install yesterday but a shut down and reboot solved the problem for me
[14:11:49] <chopper79> since I already have linuxcnc installed to I still need to do make install-menues or do I skip that step?
[14:12:07] <JT-Shop> skip
[14:12:11] <chopper79> ok
[14:12:54] <chopper79> So after thei compiles I do sudo make setuid then on to rip-envirnment
[14:13:15] <chopper79> fat fingers are horribe
[14:13:20] <JT-Shop> aye
[14:13:43] <r00t4rd3d> picking your nose is probably a bitch!
[14:13:51] <chopper79> yes it is
[14:13:56] <JT-Shop> make sure you put the leading dot like this . ./scripts/rip-environment

[14:27:57] <chopper79> The town north of me has cable and the town south of me has cable. In between is me and I have pony express

[14:30:36] <carper64_lb> but have a 20mb line now which is usable unlike the 2mb before
[14:30:42] <chopper79> same here, I figure if they have it north of me and south of me and the hub for service is south of me then how in the heck did they get it north of me?
[14:30:52] <chopper79> not same on 20mb line..... I wish

[14:33:51] <Valen> current govt is rolling out fiber to every house (pretty much)
[14:34:05] <Valen> new govt wants to stop that and roll out fiber to the node
[14:34:11] <Valen> because its cheaper and "just as good"
[14:34:24] <chopper79> I am not going to move from the country life for internet service. I can manage with what I have.
[14:35:22] <carper64_lb> i agree with you chopper at leat i can mess about in the workshop at any time of the night with out complaints fom neighbours

I loadrt gentrivkins and attemp to use, but I am sure there are other things I need to add to the HAL file to utilize this kinematic module. Is there a sample file that shows how the joint mapping is working or some documnetation on where to read up on this?

[15:01:30] <PetefromTn> Got an encoder question for you guru's
[15:01:33] <chopper79> tensaiteki - I read somehwere on the forums that the stepgen maxaccel nneds to be about 20% higher then the max_acceleration and default acceleration.
[15:01:51] <chopper79> I did this and it fixed my following errors in world mode.
[15:02:16] <chopper79> http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/10-advanced-configuration/23995-gantrykins-questions?start=10
[15:06:15] <PetefromTn> I need to order a spindle motor encoder for my Cincinatti Arrow 500. The one my pal lee has on his machine is a avago technologies model 5540-A06. He has been able to make it work fine but I was looking at it and it is apparently a single ended encoder and my mesa cards while they can take differential or single ended the rest of my control is using differentlial setup. The max freq is apparently 4mhz and this is a 500
[15:06:15] <PetefromTn> line encoder on a motor that will spin up to 12000 RPM. Will this work fine and how important is it to have a differential encoder on the spindle since it will orient for toolchange etc...
[15:08:02] <PetefromTn> I want to order this unit soon as that is the next step in my retrofit to get encoder feedback to the computer for the spindle control and indexing. Also looking for a recommendation for the cabling to route it to the vfd to keep out any noise/emf issues. Thanks for any help guys.
[15:08:22] <jdh> if you are buying a new one, you might as well buy a differential one for noise if nothing else.

[15:10:42] <PetefromTn> That's my thinking as well but I have not been able to find one with a lowish line count, ability to take heat and that much RPM anywhere. It seems like Avago makes a fine unit and apparently is who has been making them for USdigital for years. I liked my AMT encoders but do not trust that little plastic press on deal to keep the encoder wheel in place.

[15:23:37] <PetefromTn> What is the max speed?
[15:25:22] <skunkworks> I am running 4000rpm - good question
[15:26:17] <skunkworks> depending on the resolution 15000
[15:27:26] <skunkworks> 512 ppr max at 15000rpm -> 2048 ppr max 7500rpm
[15:32:23] <PetefromTn> Yeah I think they are excellent encoders really and once I fixed the very slight slipping problem it never gave me any problems.. I honestly think I need to go with a tight fitting setscrew model encoder honestly tho for this. Thanks for posting your informaiton and pictures tho. Incidentally as far as durability of the AMT's they are bomb proof. I actually had an instance where my SEALED encoder housing I made for it had a
[15:32:23] <PetefromTn> rubber seal fail before I went to RTV sealant and started having motor jumping around on me. When I took it apart the encoder was basically swimming LOL and it STILL worked. Amazing really. Then I cleaned it all up, ordered a new one, put it back together after blowing all the coolant out of the encoder and housing and ran it like that until I got the new one in the mail and never had a problem. Pretty amazing...
[15:32:32] <skunkworks> they work with these line drivers

[15:34:00] <PetefromTn> Now what does the line driver cable do?
[15:34:29] <skunkworks> the encoder is single ended - it converts the single ended ttl to differential.

[16:34:13] <skunkworks> wow - that is cheap too

[17:00:14] <PetefromTn> Okay sorry guys been on the damn phone with the folks at digikey. Spoke to a very helpful tech guy. I would LIKE to use a differential input for the encoder. They have a differential encoder very similar to the one that Lee used basically it is the same model only has a differential input. Now the original resolver has a milspec connection on the motor housing that would be nice to use and I MIGHT be able to just take this
[17:00:14] <PetefromTn> differential encoder ribbon cable and solder the ends to the milspec connector after cutting off the end plug. Take a look at it. IF that does not work I will need to either A buy a long ribbon cable and crimp style terminations and make a long cable to go to the mesa card OR B go with the single ended encoder and the line driver setup either the cable from Digikey or the CNC4PC model...thoughts?????
[17:00:46] <PetefromTn> I will be out in the shop trying to solder to these motor leads so if I don't respond soon gimme a minute or ten...peace

[17:10:30] <PetefromTn> yeah thats what I think that too.. The cable inside the machine now is ALREADY run for the original resolver and I THINK has enough pins in it. If I get the single ended encoder I can hookup with their harness or if I get the Differential encoder I believe it comes with a short ribbon cable terminating in a rs422 type plug. Dunno what would be the best thing right now or even how to best hook it up. Apparently the spindle
[17:10:30] <PetefromTn> drive CAN take inputs but I was just going to hook it all up to the mesa card and only output the analog control signal to the drive...Dunno really

[18:16:45] <gabe_willen> i think i figured it out
[18:16:56] <gabe_willen> the notebook is using rt-preempt
[18:17:01] <chopper79> done
[18:17:25] <gabe_willen> i suppose the kernel module compilation is completely different of RTAI
[18:17:43] <gabe_willen> on rt-preempt i can use fcntl.h, termios.h
[18:17:59] <micges> chopper79: git branch --track joints_axes3 origin/joints_axes3
[18:18:06] <gabe_willen> that is what i was using for the hal usb-serial module
[18:18:21] <gabe_willen> the hal usb-hid module is a kernel driver
[18:18:35] <gabe_willen> neither of which probably working on RTAI
[18:18:37] <gabe_willen> lol
[18:18:53] <gabe_willen> i figured it was too easy to implement there had to be a catch
[18:18:54] <andypugh> Yes, I am using my domestic oven :-)
[18:19:22] <gabe_willen> also the new kernel 3.x don't lock on usb access any more
[18:19:28] <gabe_willen> :(
[18:19:42] <gabe_willen> back to hal usbstreamer, it works... but i wanted actual halcomponents
[18:20:00] <chopper79> ok
[18:20:02] <chopper79> done
[18:20:43] <micges> chopper79: git checkout joints_axes3
[18:20:59] <PetefromTn> Thank the Lord I did not apparently try my Y axis servo yesterday when I tried to modify the mil spec barrel connector to fit inside the column. Apparently one of the leads came off on the power side and the motor was all crunchy sounding for the second it took me to kill the servo on button. Today I repaired the connections and hooked it all back up to power to test on the bench and thankfully neither the drive or the motor
[18:20:59] <PetefromTn> are bad now. WHEW!! I thought for a minute I was going to be buying a new motor to the tune of around $400.00!!
[18:21:36] <gabe_willen> I don't see how the Lord came into play?
[18:21:37] <chopper79> ok switched to JA3

[18:39:21] <chopper79> Micges: Its done compling
[18:39:42] <micges_> I don't know if there is a package for this version
[18:40:11] <micges_> for now probably you must compile it on every pc you want to use it
[18:40:17] <chopper79> ok done with sudo make setuid
[18:40:29] micges_ is now known as micges
[18:40:32] <chopper79> ok sounds good, if all goes well it will be a few hundred PC
[18:41:01] <micges> wow, how so?
[18:41:51] <andypugh> If they are all identical PCs, you can just clone them.
[18:43:31] <chopper79> I figured I woudl do a clone of the hard drive and do that
[18:43:52] <micges> chopper79: sim/axis_mm is config for start
[18:47:54] <chopper79> micges: i have launched this config. So I should now be abel to go into the JA3/configs/ and modify this config to test with correct?
[18:49:02] <micges> try sim/gantry
[18:51:17] <chopper79> sim/gantry is using gantrykins correct
[18:51:26] -!- tandoori_ has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[18:51:51] -!- tandoori [tandoori!~Nunya@unaffiliated/tandoori] has joined #linuxcnc
[18:52:41] <micges> so base your config on it
[18:53:21] <micges> but if its gantrykins it will switch to joint mode in few situations
[18:53:53] <chopper79> Gantrykins does not work well though so the JA3 branch and gentrivkins was recommended
[18:54:09] <chopper79> am I missing something about this>
[18:54:15] <chopper79> ?
[18:54:17] <micges> no correct
[18:54:34] <micges> I mean correct
[18:55:04] <micges> give me few minutes to remember how to use this thing
[18:55:32] <chopper79> Is there a smaple file using gentrivkins and tandem motors with auto squaring?
[18:55:39] <chopper79> sample
[18:56:31] <micges> nope
[18:57:36] <chopper79> If joints need to be mapped out as they do in gantrykins then do they use the same naming convention between the two kinematic modules?
[18:57:48] <micges> gentrivkins is generally gantrykins kinematics but without be able to move joints directly
[18:58:13] <micges> so probably you must just swap them
[18:58:14] <chopper79> such as if I build using gantrykins and then loadrt gentrivkins instead of gantrykins
[18:58:20] <micges> (in hal file)
[18:58:34] <micges> yes
[18:58:51] <chopper79> ok, makes perfect sense now.
[18:59:20] <micges> hold on
[18:59:22] <chopper79> Are the same issues there such as ignoring soft limits, folowing errors, etc
[18:59:31] <chopper79> when using gantrykins
[18:59:56] <micges> no that's what is ja3 for
[19:02:31] <chopper79> ok, so it hides joint mode, and corrects the other issues.
[19:02:46] <chopper79> but maps out like gantrkins
[19:02:49] <micges> base your config on sim/axis_mm, just add additional [JOINT_n] section, change trivkins to 'loadrt gentrivkins coordinates=XXYZ', change [KINS]JOINTS = 4

[21:35:39] <AR_> why does it keep dipping it up and down
[21:35:50] <L84Supper> who knows
[21:38:00] <DaViruz> probably to compensate for the insane tilting when it lifts
[21:38:15] <L84Supper> it's bottom up projection through a vat, so it has to unstick each layer before moving on to the next
[21:38:16] <DaViruz> i thought he only had a leadscrew on one end at first

[22:38:23] <Tom_itx> is W a rotary axis?
[22:38:28] <PetefromTn> Looking for advice here guys, This morning I touched on my spindle encoder setup. I am looking at two options currently. One is to use a single ended encoder that my friend used on his retrofit successfully. I can use it with a line driver cable as has been suggested and hook it up in the original cabling from the old control where it leaves the motor housing to the electronics cabinet. Here is a link to the first option
[22:38:28] <PetefromTn> encoder and the line driver.
[22:38:41] <PetefromTn> Here is the line driver...
[22:38:56] <PetefromTn> http://www.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?WT.z_header=search_go&lang=en&keywords=102-1787-nd&x=0&y=0&cur=USD
[22:39:58] <PetefromTn> Now here is the OTHER option a differential encoder of the same design from the same company but uses a ribbon cable which I would probably solder into the same mil spec connector and original cable as the previous option.

[22:43:20] <Tom_itx> those look similar to the HP HEDS encoders

[22:45:17] <gabe_willen> Okay L84Supper, somethings not right
[22:45:38] <skunkworks> Tom_itx: UVW are usually setup as Tool direction.. So lets say on a 6 axis machine where the tool is pointing in a certain direction - UVW allows you to do things like peck drilling, rigid tapping along the tool direction
[22:46:05] <gabe_willen> if i just set it to 200us thread and its hitting 200 everytime, i miss counts at 56rpms
[22:46:22] <Tom_itx> skunkworks, like on a non fixed spindle?
[22:46:53] <L84Supper> 1/43200 = 23.1us and half that is 11.5us
[22:46:53] <gabe_willen> I have a digital tachometer, so im pretty sure that speed is right
[22:47:06] <Tom_itx> i've never programmed for a 5 or 6 axis
[22:47:12] <L84Supper> meant uS went I wrote mS before
[22:47:23] <gabe_willen> are you in micro seconds?
[22:47:37] <gabe_willen> ahh
[22:47:38] <Connor> PetefromTn: The
http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/HEDL-5540%23A06/516-2750-ND/2219462 has a connector on the end right ? I have header pins that we can make a adopter for it..
[22:47:38] <gabe_willen> okay
[22:47:56] -!- micges has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[22:47:56] <L84Supper> 28800ppr x 1.5rps = 43,200. 1/43200 = 23.1us and half that is 11.ums
[22:48:08] <L84Supper> 11.us
[22:48:09] <gabe_willen> thats at 90rpms though
[22:48:20] <gabe_willen> that fastest i can get it is 56rpms
[22:48:37] <andypugh> In this case I am trying to look for the name of a radial axis like you get in a facing borer, like this one:
http://www.scottmachinery.co.nz/dbimage.php?meth=norm&img=BORE-1-0003__1
[22:49:07] <PetefromTn> Okay yeah they DO indeed look like US Digital ones because these folks apparently MAKE the US digital ones for US digital LOL...
[22:49:12] <Tom_itx> i would think it would be A andy
[22:49:21] <Tom_itx> since it's the first rotary axis
[22:49:25] <andypugh> No, A is a rotary.
[22:49:33] <L84Supper> gabe_willen: whats your rotation speed? 1.5rpm or rps?
[22:49:46] <andypugh> I am talking about a linear that rotates on the spindle.
[22:49:56] <Tom_itx> ok
[22:50:15] <PetefromTn> Connor: If you mean the differential model I was thinking that I could just take the ribbon cable and cutoff the connector and split the individual wires into the mil spec barrel connector on the side of the motor housing. Peace
[22:50:16] <gabe_willen> never mind, i know what i was doing
[22:50:33] <andypugh> You see the handle at the back of the headstock? That moves the slide in the chuck (by a mechanism that I have never figured out)
[22:50:37] <L84Supper> 28800ppr x 1.5rpm = 43,200ppm
[22:50:42] <Tom_itx> heh
[22:50:45] <Tom_itx> i wondered about that
[22:51:00] <gabe_willen> 1 rps
[22:51:06] <gabe_willen> 60rpms
[22:51:23] <Connor> PetefromTn: Yea. You probably can do that..
[22:51:24] <L84Supper> <-- been up too long
[22:51:29] <gabe_willen> me too
[22:51:33] <andypugh> My mill, with the VFD, can do 1rpm. Not much call for that, though.
[22:51:35] <L84Supper> math over for today
[22:51:37] <Tom_itx> andypugh, that axis is mounted to a rotary axis though isn't it?
[22:51:45] <Tom_itx> or is it stationary
[22:51:56] <andypugh> Yes, but it moves in mm, not degrees.
[22:52:01] <Tom_itx> odd
[22:52:21] <andypugh> You bolt a boring tool to it, and the slide changes the boring diameter.
[22:52:43] <Tom_itx> it's almost like a large boring bar tool
[22:52:47] <Tom_itx> interesting
[22:53:03] <andypugh> It is a horizontal boring machine, so that is no real surprise :-)
[22:53:36] <Tom_itx> so your axis in question is the tool adjustment?
[22:53:39] <gabe_willen> if it does 28,800 rotations per second, thats 28.8 ms correct?
[22:53:50] <gabe_willen> im trying to figure out how you got micro seconds
[22:54:16] <gabe_willen> not rotations
[22:54:19] <gabe_willen> pulses per second
[22:54:24] <andypugh> Tom_itx: Sometimes. It can be the feed when facing a circular register.
[22:54:37] <andypugh> There is a motor drive to it, for facing.
[22:54:58] <Tom_itx> is this one of your new toys?
[22:56:57] <andypugh> No, it was actually just an illustration of what I am thinking of. Mine doesn't exist yet. (However, my dad has a Kearns like that, this actual one:

[22:57:58] <gabe_willen> if i put the thread at 10us its dead on the money, its just frustrating because i don't know where my math is wrong
[22:58:48] <L84Supper> 28800ppr x 1.5rps = 43,200. 1/43200 = 23.1us and half that is 11.5us, but.....
[23:01:29] <L84Supper> 28800ppr x 1.5rpm = 43,200ppm. 43200 / 60 = 7200pps = 139us per pulse
[23:01:45] -!- Valen [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[23:01:59] <L84Supper> wait a sec
[23:03:11] <L84Supper> 28800ppr x 1.5rpm = 43,200ppm. 43200 / 60 = 720pps = 1.39ms per pulse
[23:03:17] <gabe_willen> thats better
[23:03:18] <gabe_willen> lol
[23:03:26] <gabe_willen> i knew you were thinking wrong
[23:03:34] <gabe_willen> lets just do 1 rotation per second
[23:03:45] <L84Supper> I'm shot
[23:03:45] <gabe_willen> 28,800 / 1000 thats 28.8 milliseconds
[23:03:50] <L84Supper> too many typos
[23:04:20] <gabe_willen> for some reason though at 200 micro seconds i miss pulses
[23:05:16] <L84Supper> why did you divide by 1000?
[23:05:44] <gabe_willen> 28,800 pulses per second
[23:05:49] <L84Supper> 1/28800 = time period
[23:05:52] <gabe_willen> 1000 milliseconds in a second
[23:05:54] <L84Supper> per pulse
[23:06:28] <L84Supper> so
[23:07:12] <gabe_willen> i haven't slept much the past few days, and it reflects in my programming and math

[23:07:26] <L84Supper> 28800 pulses in 1 second. 1/28800 = time per pulse
[23:07:48] <L84Supper> too many distractions here
[23:07:56] <gabe_willen> your right
[23:09:12] <gabe_willen> 16 micro seconds
[23:09:26] <gabe_willen> should be 2 times the minimum
[23:09:56] <gabe_willen> the function itself takes 1 microsecond
[23:10:07] -!- PetefromTn has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[23:10:20] <gabe_willen> i disabled all interrupts so i know its executing completely
[23:11:37] <gabe_willen> well can't use the CMSIS_RTOS the best it can get is 1ms
[23:11:46] <gabe_willen> millisecond
[23:12:25] <gabe_willen> im glad i checked before i started, Im not using it right now. Just wanted to make sure i was thinking correctly.
[23:13:21] <gabe_willen> I did fiddle with it and was able to bring the osTick down to 10us but its only good for about 2 or 3 threads
[23:17:10] <gabe_willen> spent $350.00 on this encoder, and i forgot to include the index letter into the part number, and i am frustrated with my self. though for that amount of money you would think it would come with everything.
[23:18:29] <PCW> Ya get no bread with one meatball
[23:19:28] <gabe_willen> it looks nice so i'll give them that, but hopefully i don't have to buy one this high in cpr again
[23:19:31] <andypugh> gabe_willen: Any chance they will take it back (possibly for a restocking fee)?
[23:20:14] <gabe_willen> andypugh its been about 5 months since i ordered it, just waiting for down time on the machine to swap it out with the 2500cpr that was on there.
[23:20:23] <gabe_willen> so i doubt it
[23:20:27] <gabe_willen> plus it was custom order
[23:20:49] <gabe_willen> had a fancy * next to the cpr, i knew it would be pricey
[23:21:32] <gabe_willen> i should of bought a resolver, but didn't realize that until my conversation with you a while back

[23:30:18] <gabe_willen> motor*
[23:31:12] <PetefromTn> Wow Andy is that your big old iron horizontal? I would LOVE to have one of those old monsters in the shop especially with a vertical attachment. SWEET machinery. Peace
[23:31:13] <PetefromTn> Pete
[23:31:32] <gabe_willen> i have pretty smoothed out now, i can get with in one line .0125 of a degree at a nice 21600 degree's a minute
[23:32:23] <gabe_willen> i have a micro stepping resolution of 144 :)
[23:32:43] <gabe_willen> to achieve a theoretical one to one with the encoder, one step for each line
[23:34:23] <andypugh> PetefromTn: No, that belongs to my dad, but it is a very nice machine that I have become rather fond of over the last 35 years or so that I have had access to it.
