[00:00:14] <PetefromTn> Tom_itx Man I have been trying but this fella cannot stop trying to pull my trigger. I don't know what his problem is. Far as I can tell he is the only one.
[00:00:27] <Tom_itx> there is 'ignore'
[00:00:52] <PetefromTn> Yeah I have BEEN ignoring him. But then he pulls this crap....
[00:01:10] <andypugh> <stands on Pete's side of the room>
[00:01:11] <Tom_itx> if you ignore him you won't see his text
[00:01:35] <PetefromTn> I come here to chat with likeminded individuals and learn about the system I chose to spend a LOT of money integrating into my machine and I don't need any crap.
[00:01:41] <Tom_itx> good i'm not an op i suppose
[00:02:06] <PetefromTn> Tom_itx Really why is that?

[00:02:32] <sharpen047> oh look its not a p4! cool didnt know that
[00:02:53] <andypugh> Tom_itx: Except when you get in flamewars with yourself? :-)
[00:03:02] <Tom_itx> meh
[00:03:04] <Tom_itx> ;)
[00:03:44] <Tom_itx> been an op since 90ish in various places
[00:04:01] <PetefromTn> Tom_itx Just tell me where I have this problem with anyone else here and I will gladly leave and let you all enjoy yourselves without me.
[00:04:17] <Tom_itx> nobody's tellin you to leave

[00:13:41] <andypugh> The wierdest thing here is Jymmm as the Vopice of Reason
[00:14:00] <Connor> andypugh: Yea. Jymmm is normally causing the problems... :)
[00:14:09] <sharpen047> *cough*anyway guys can i get some help?:) im trying to find out why my pci parallel port is crashing emc*cough*
[00:14:17] <theforken> guys can I ask you a linuxcnc related question :-)?
[00:14:22] <andypugh> Please
[00:14:25] <Tom_itx> of course you can
[00:14:27] <PetefromTn> shoot..
[00:15:04] <theforken> Ok I've got a new probe, a simple one, connected to an input pin
[00:15:13] <theforken> and it works
[00:15:16] <andypugh> sharpen047: Crashing how?
[00:15:29] <theforken> but when I'm homing i got some sort of interference
[00:15:52] <Tom_itx> are your motors grounded?
[00:16:09] <sharpen047> andypugh: when i open emc i get errors, not sure why yet, dmesg is...
[00:16:10] <Tom_itx> and wires shielded
[00:16:13] <theforken> one one axis hits the home switch I got a message like "probe during home motion"
[00:16:41] <theforken> was once one
[00:16:45] <andypugh> Are you sure you don't have the home and probe pins confused (in HAL or in actual wires)
[00:16:49] <sharpen047> andypugh:
http://pastebin.com/xN2rtzfl
[00:17:20] <andypugh> It is also vaguely possibel that the home switch is dragging the port 5V down.
[00:17:44] <theforken> yes it could be
[00:17:45] <sharpen047> andypugh: i have no idea since i dont know why its not working. its a second port first is onboard this is pci. i JUST installed the card thats when i started getting the error
[00:17:53] <Tom_itx> or bouncing too much
[00:18:10] <Tom_itx> are you using debounce on them?
[00:18:15] <andypugh> sharpen047: does lsmod show lp ?
[00:18:27] <theforken> I could try connecting the probe to another 5V line..
[00:18:36] <andypugh> You might find that the system is grabbing the port for printing with.
[00:18:42] <sharpen047> 0 and 1 yes(not atm since i disabled onboard to test to make sure it was the right one i was troubleshooting)
[00:18:47] <theforken> no, no debounce (yet) it's my first test
[00:19:13] <Tom_itx> i had home problems until i added debounce
[00:19:24] <Tom_itx> watch it in hal scope to see how noisy it is
[00:19:25] <theforken> Is there a software debounce in hal or should I go for an hardware one?
[00:19:34] <Tom_itx> there's software one
[00:19:58] <Tom_itx> it'll show you how long to set the debounce time
[00:20:56] <theforken> good, I've attached a voltmeter to the probe output and the signal seems clean but a voltmeter it not that fast to catch rapid on-off
[00:21:08] <Tom_itx> watch it in halscope
[00:21:11] -!- mode/#linuxcnc [-q r00t4rd3d!*@*] by Jymmm
[00:21:58] <theforken> ok I'll watch it tomorrow (I'm in Italy it's 2.20AM :-)

[00:22:08] <Tom_itx> and also friday night
[00:23:56] <theforken> thanks a lot I'll check the pin with halscope and find some good debounce settings
[00:24:08] <sharpen047> andypugh: yes it does

[00:28:06] <Jymmm> Just fyi
[00:28:24] -!- theforken has quit [Quit: bed time!]
[00:28:27] <Jymmm> If he does anything, be sure to mention it.
[00:30:21] <PetefromTn> So anyone make anything interesting lately?
[00:31:02] <sharpen047> andypugh: how can i reclaim it?
[00:31:04] <Connor> I just got a regulator to add to the 1st stage of my scuba rig so I can power the drawbar.
[00:31:43] <PetefromTn> That should work real nice. I honestly thought very seriously about using my 4500 PSI tank for that at one point on the RF45 build.
[00:31:43] <Connor> Jymmm: WTF is with that? Did he drink 1 too many beers or something??
[00:32:05] <Jymmm> Connor: Unless he DOES something, lets just drop it, okey?
[00:32:08] <andypugh> sharpen047: If you rmmod lp then you should be able to claim it (lp is "lineprinter")
[00:32:14] <Connor> Jymmm: OKay. no problem.
[00:32:23] <Jymmm> Connor: thanks.
[00:32:47] <Connor> PetefromTn: I think it'll work good.. I only get about 5 or 6 operations out of my compressor before it has to recharge.
[00:33:19] <PetefromTn> that's not that bad actually. Or you could just add a tank near the machine to boost that.
[00:33:23] <andypugh> The longer-term solution if that works is to "blacklist" lp I think, but you need a Linux Guy to explain that.
[00:34:30] -!- jbhunter [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:35:24] <Connor> PetefromTn: I had the scuba tanks.. and a primary stage regulator.. and a LP to 1/4 NPT fitting..
[00:35:36] <Connor> So I decided scuba tank was way to go. :)
[00:35:42] <PetefromTn> well then it's a no brainer LOL.
[00:35:55] <Connor> I've not dove in over 13 years either..
[00:36:18] <PetefromTn> I used to dive a bunch but now I'm kinda landlocked LOL.
[00:36:23] <Connor> I WILL have to get my tanks hydro tested next time I get them filled up.
[00:36:38] <PetefromTn> aluminum or steel?
[00:37:10] <Connor> Plenty of nice rock quarry's in TN to dive.
[00:37:15] <Connor> 2 steel
[00:37:29] <PetefromTn> Oh yeah that's real nice divin' Hey look at the rock!
[00:37:47] <PetefromTn> Steel lasts a LONG time.
[00:38:05] <Connor> Few of them have some nice fish and some cool artifacts and stuff in them.. mining equipment etc.
[00:38:57] <Connor> They have the old style J valves on them.
[00:38:57] <PetefromTn> yeah I am sure but when you are used to diving in the Florida Keys or along the coast on wrecks etc. That is just pretty damn boring I think.
[00:39:19] <Connor> I never got to do any Ocean diving.. just fresh water stuff.
[00:39:23] <sharpen047> andypugh: do you know how to see which one is still there ? lp0 or lp1?
[00:39:27] <PetefromTn> Whatre ya gonna do about your flexing problem?
[00:39:40] <Connor> PetefromTn: Your going to help me make a new lift plate. :)
[00:39:47] <Connor> ROFL
[00:40:08] <Connor> just need to make the lift plate out of 1/2" steel instead of 3/8" Alum.
[00:40:19] <andypugh> sharpen047: Not only do I not know, I don't even understand the question
[00:40:32] <Connor> I was silly.. Might have been able to get away with it with 1/2" alumn.. But.. steel is the right way to go.
[00:40:41] <sharpen047> andypugh: is lp the module ro rmmod?
[00:40:57] <andypugh> I think so.
[00:40:59] <sharpen047> andypugh: to*
[00:41:04] <sharpen047> ok ill try it
[00:41:04] <PetefromTn> Oh okay, I might have to order some better steel cutters altho I do have a bunch of cutters here.
[00:41:25] <andypugh> I am winging it here hoping for someone who isn't basically a Mac user to offer some advice.
[00:41:36] <PetefromTn> Maybe something coated with say five flutes..
[00:42:27] <Connor> We don't have much to do on it.. 4.5" x 2.5" and a U shape with a large U shape pocket for clearance.. and then 6 holes.. (4 1/4 and 2, .323" sized)
[00:43:14] <PetefromTn> Okay man we'll see what we can do.
[00:43:20] <Connor> Cool.
[00:44:24] <Tom_itx> i'm not a big fan of odd flute cutters
[00:44:25] <sharpen047> andypugh: lp was correct, removing the module worked emc is open. problem is i dont have the onboard port enabled in bios and only one left is the pci slot which i dont know the address to
[00:44:49] <andypugh> cat /proc/ioports
[00:44:50] <PetefromTn> I love em... especially three flute in aluminum
[00:45:03] <sharpen047> andypugh: easily fixable to get my 3 axis working so thanks a bunch for that!
[00:45:08] <Tom_itx> 2 for alum 4 for steel
[00:45:40] <PetefromTn> to each his own.
[00:45:44] <andypugh> pi-flutes! Makes the maths easier!
[00:45:59] <Tom_itx> i like to be able to mic them for wear
[00:47:07] <Tom_itx> that's what i should do this evening... go cut a engraving bit
[00:47:29] <Tom_itx> got some carbide stubs but no good carbide cutting stone
[00:48:00] <Connor> NICE! This regulator has a wall mount bracket.. and locking top.
[00:49:03] <PetefromTn> that makes things easier..

[03:08:00] <skunkworks> I had a car that had the original plugs in the rear bank (v6 - rear bank against the fire wall)
[03:08:09] <skunkworks> 130k
[03:08:21] <skunkworks> The gap was wide to say the least
[03:08:24] <andypugh> You need to drain the coolant and remove the radiator and airbox to get the plugs out.
[03:08:40] <skunkworks> yeck
[03:09:25] <archivist> someone said there is a Renault van where it is engine out to change some of the plugs
[03:09:31] <andypugh> My dad had a V6 Peugeot where you had to move the engine to get the distributor cap off.
[03:09:38] <skunkworks> you could get to the rear 3 plugs with the right amount of extension, universals and finess..

[03:31:02] <Connor> pressure gauge or torque wrench ?

[03:32:49] -!- jfire has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[03:32:53] <andypugh> There are special tools with gauges in that measure your drawbar force. Very spendy
[03:34:10] <Connor> the washers I have are rated @ working: 1,890lbs flat: 2,698lbs
[03:34:18] <andypugh> I think you can cheat and use a torque wrench and lever under the edge of the tool. And that measures the force with your particular pull-stud.
[03:34:26] <Connor> normal height is .120" working deflection @ load, .025"
[03:34:54] <Connor> TTS style.. no pull studd.
[03:34:55] <andypugh> Another way is to put an indicator on the tool and increase the air pressure until it moves.
[03:35:24] -!- FinboySlick has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[03:35:58] <Connor> Right now.. I can operate my PDB at 60 PSI.. and remove the tool.. at the current tightness of the drawbar..
[03:36:37] <Connor> I'm using a 3" tripple stack cylinder.. so, thats around... 1272.345lbs
[03:37:20] <andypugh> I have 4" at 140psi and do worry that my force is too low.
[03:37:35] <Connor> single stack ?
[03:37:56] <Connor> that's around 1759.29
[03:37:58] <andypugh> Yes, and rather more travel than TTs
[03:38:38] <Connor> My lift plate is bending a bit too.. way more when i had it at 120psi.
[03:39:09] <Connor> but, taking it down to 60 not near as bad.. I think If I had of used 1/2" thick instead of 3/8" alum, I would be fine.
[03:39:21] <andypugh> 8kn to release, but how many to move off the taper? Not quite the same.
[03:39:44] <generic_nick> what are you making?
[03:40:01] <andypugh> I suspect that too-much is unlikely to be a problem
[03:40:20] <Connor> yea.. I'm not worried about TOO much.. I just want to back it down to just enough..
[03:41:28] <Connor> Just thinking I might be able to use my existing lift plate if I dial it back enough.

[03:46:01] <Connor> My original odometer wring I made works good for helping tighten up the drawbar. I use a pin spanner in it.. and a wrench on the lug night.. and tighten id down.
[03:46:11] <Connor> wring = ring

[15:04:50] <sharpen047> ah, was going to say because ive been looking at second par ports on one pc
[15:05:11] <IchGuckLive> NP for thius
[15:05:23] <IchGuckLive> in the wiki there are lots of infos
[15:05:33] <IchGuckLive> i use DELOCK for the cards
[15:05:53] <IchGuckLive> you can also go for /i80 mesa to get 4 parport like outputs

[15:08:00] <sharpen047> yeah problem was i dont have a 4th/5th axis yet and was deciding if i could even do it. i have a second controller and 3 more motors. but ubuntu didnt like my second card
[15:08:45] <IchGuckLive> NP i drive 5Axis on one parport with the hotwire
[15:09:05] <sharpen047> IchGuckLive: i also heard that mesa cards can generate much faster pulses? and whats hotwire
[15:09:27] <sharpen047> and dont say for hotel rooms cheap
[15:09:33] <IchGuckLive> yes mesa 5i25 / 7i76 is best for this
[15:09:40] <IchGuckLive> about 50times faster
[15:10:04] <IchGuckLive> sharpen047: hotwire is foamcutter
[15:10:18] <sharpen047> you own a 5 axis?
[15:11:00] <sharpen047> IchGuckLive: i dont have the option of doing that off of one parport since i use 2 motors for my X
[15:12:10] <IchGuckLive> it is not a good idee to split the axis to 2 parports
[15:12:32] <sharpen047> IchGuckLive: like x y z on one then a and c on the other?
[15:12:45] <IchGuckLive> yes that is bad
[15:12:50] <sharpen047> why is that?
[15:13:08] <IchGuckLive> the second one is not as interpreted as the first
[15:13:51] <sharpen047> so i should change my first port to nothing but motor drivers and second for inputs? since i have 0 inputs i just use them all for driving them
[15:14:15] <sharpen047> IchGuckLive: so my best bet would be a mesa io card, thats what i keep hearing from people in here

[15:14:57] <Tom_shop> sharpen047, just bite the bullet and join all the other happy campers
[15:15:31] <sharpen047> will i notice that much of a difference in speed? i currently am limited to about 66ipm. will that change?
[15:15:42] <Tom_shop> why use a pup tent when you can use a fancy rv
[15:15:54] <Tom_shop> yes
[15:16:08] <IchGuckLive> yes ofcause
[15:16:12] <Tom_shop> my old sherline system would do a reliable 20ipm now i'm up to 80 on it
[15:16:19] <Tom_shop> as a poor comparison
[15:16:20] <IchGuckLive> on 48V you can get 500ipm
[15:16:37] <sharpen047> well im limited to my 12 tpi leadscrews
[15:16:46] <Tom_shop> mine are 20
[15:16:52] <sharpen047> i can get 150 ipm but not really 100% steps
[15:16:59] <sharpen047> and youre at 80?!
[15:17:08] <Tom_shop> i got gecko drivers too
[15:17:15] <IchGuckLive> you will have no steploss on good config
[15:17:16] <Tom_shop> jumped from 24v to 48v
[15:17:17] <sharpen047> IchGuckLive: is that your hot wire machine or someone elses/
[15:17:18] <skunkworks> sharpen047: how is your 5 axis coming?

[15:18:04] <sharpen047> skunkworks: well looks like i should get a mesa io card but other than that i think id like to test to see if i can get the motors turning at all with a second par port before i buy the card

[15:19:06] <IchGuckLive> mastercam 5 Axis fanuc 11M will get you to heven
[15:19:17] <sharpen047> Tom_shop: why do i keep insisting on a mesa card?
[15:19:31] <IchGuckLive> sharpen047: did you modify it
[15:19:31] <Tom_shop> on getting it working first with 2 parports
[15:19:34] <sharpen047> IchGuckLive: do you have experience with this?
[15:19:36] Tom_shop is now known as Tom_itx
[15:19:56] <IchGuckLive> sharpen047: what mastercam
[15:20:17] <sharpen047> Tom_itx: i have the stuff to do this now. i want to make sure i can get it working before i buy the parts. if i can get output ill buy the stuff
[15:20:27] <sharpen047> IchGuckLive: x4
[15:20:55] <IchGuckLive> im a CNC/ CAD CAM teatcher in the University so yes i do
[15:21:12] <sharpen047> IchGuckLive: i use the modified faunc for 3 axis and that works great but i found it on another site. 5 axis is another story
[15:21:39] <sharpen047> IchGuckLive: i was told to get a working 5 axis post should cost me upwards of $1000
[15:22:07] <IchGuckLive> there is a 5Axis post on mastercam fanuc yoou only need to get the offsets in side
[15:22:17] <skunkworks> sharpen047: go mesa...
[15:22:22] <Tom_itx> sharpen047, you get the parts and you'll have a whole different animal
[15:22:34] <IchGuckLive> Deskproto for 200USD is also available on this 5Axis and good for 90% of work
[15:22:45] <sharpen047> skunkworks: i will especially if i can get a mastercam post
[15:23:01] <skunkworks> the 5i25 is like 2 printer ports on steroids right out of the box.. not including the daughter boards available.
[15:23:05] <Tom_itx> i wish i had a 5 axis post i'd like to see if it would do it
[15:23:09] <IchGuckLive> Tom_itx: did the M100 work ?
[15:23:26] <Tom_itx> it did but i removed it
[15:23:33] <Tom_itx> i don't need that for what i do
[15:23:44] <Tom_itx> i always set things up ahead
[15:23:46] <IchGuckLive> welcome onbioard
[15:23:52] <sharpen047> yeah i probably will go mesa, no reason not to. kinda sucks that i have to stick with my single core though.
[15:23:55] <skunkworks> sharpen047: I am not very strong on anything over 3 axis.. but I do know with kins - gcode programming is easier..
[15:24:11] <sharpen047> skunkworks: manual coding you mean?
[15:24:14] <skunkworks> yes
[15:24:18] <Tom_itx> sharpen047, even with multicore, you want to run single core thread
[15:24:26] <IchGuckLive> sharpen047: mesa also got a 6axis stepper card you might look for
[15:24:29] <skunkworks> (and I assume the post is easier)
[15:24:47] <IchGuckLive> im off toll 19:00 MEZ
[15:24:54] <sharpen047> IchGuckLive: so if i made a 4th and 5th axis how hard would it be to modify the post for the faunc? i know nothing about coding posts

[15:25:17] <sharpen047> aw
[15:25:26] <Tom_itx> you've got your learning curve ahead it seems
[15:25:57] <Tom_itx> no documents on building posts for mastercam?
[15:26:10] <sharpen047> well i dont have any info on the post. thats the main part im suck on
[15:26:17] <sharpen047> no they are classes
[15:26:32] <Tom_itx> at least i've got the ref books to look at
[15:26:36] <sharpen047> classes which are about the same price as a custom post $1000
[15:27:04] <sharpen047> v9 and 10 are much easier but when they went with x they changed a lot and made it very very difficult to change
[15:28:31] <sharpen047> Tom_itx: so ill try to get the 2 par ports working so i can just run some 5 axis code. i wont make the rotary table or anything until i know i can get emc to read 5 axis code i can generate
[15:28:32] <Tom_itx> that's what steered me to smartcam
[15:29:17] <sharpen047> yeah you told me yesterday but i already have access to mastercam and know how to use it. i didnt pay for it and cant really afford another cam program
[15:29:29] <Tom_itx> i know
[15:29:52] <Tom_itx> it paid for it self in the first year though
[15:30:21] <sharpen047> well at least there are people who have 5 axis machines running mastercam and know how to do it. its just a matter of getting some help to change the post. ich was saying it was pretty simple, just a matter of offsets
[15:31:00] <Tom_itx> also, programmers tend to do things differently too
[15:31:11] <sharpen047> what do you mean?
[15:31:24] <Tom_itx> just how things are set up
[15:31:35] <Tom_itx> where you set your 0 reference etc
[15:31:46] <sharpen047> yeah i have a lot of work to do haha
[15:31:48] <Tom_itx> some programs we used a sphere
[15:32:11] <Tom_itx> some offset from vicejaws etc

[15:35:38] <Tom_itx> you should attend the fest next month
[15:35:49] <sharpen047> where would i get a mesa io card? a good one. i bought that 6560 from china and that was a mistake lol

[15:38:09] <sharpen047> thanks
[15:39:20] <andypugh> sharpen047: I am going to swing the other way and say that you really ought to be able to get the system working with two parports.
[15:40:04] <Tom_itx> well, he should be able to but why if he plans to get mesa cards anyway?
[15:40:49] <sharpen047> andypugh: yeah i got the address with your help yesterday i havent been on since so ill start here in a few. i am looking at mesa cards but i dont need one yet, i have the stuff for 2 par ports and it shouldnt be too hard right? or so i thought.
[15:41:52] <sharpen047> i have zero income and right now its just a hobby. im trying not to spend it all on a mesa card when i dont have the hardware for it yet. even with a 3 axis it will speed it up but that 200 could go to actual hardware
[15:41:55] <andypugh> I am quite a fan of the Mesa stuff, but you ought to be able to spin motors this weekend with the parport.
[15:42:30] <sharpen047> if i can spin them ill work on the post. if i get the post ill order a mesa card and make the rotary table. im set on that 5 axis
[15:43:14] <Tom_itx> you gonna put a rotary in a cradle for the 5 axis?
[15:43:51] <sharpen047> i was going to try to yes, since spinning the router could be a problem
[15:44:07] <sharpen047> i got the idea from this

[15:56:56] <sharpen047> andypugh: im going to try to get 2 par oorts up right now ill start the mahcine up
[15:57:06] <archivist> I like some gearing between the stepper and tables so one can get some accuracy and resolution and less reflected torque
[15:58:30] <andypugh> If you can find them, harmonic drives are nice.
[15:58:54] <andypugh> Rotary tables can work, but the worm reduction always adds a bit of backlash.
[15:59:45] <L84Supper> and direct drive rotary tables are pretty pricey
[15:59:56] <andypugh> This is just two rotary tables and an angle plate.

[16:38:25] <sharpen047> andypugh: how would i change pinouts of the second parport? since stepconf doesnt let me
[16:39:55] <andypugh> If you look at the connections made in the HAL file with parport.0, you need to copy and edit similar things for the other axes. (And once you have done that, you can't use Stepconf again without losing the changes)
[16:40:14] <sharpen047> yeah i found that out with the no force homing thing
[16:40:19] <andypugh> But Stepconf is not going to get you all that far with a 5-axis anyway
[16:40:26] <sharpen047> i should really install limit switches
[16:40:43] <sharpen047> yeah will emc know what to do with 5 axes?
[16:44:13] <andypugh> If you edit the INI to say that there are 5 and you want XYZAB (or 6 and XYZABC) and create [AXIS_N] sections for them all, then yes.
[16:44:15] <sharpen047> so A and C will both be rotary right?
[16:44:35] <andypugh> XYZAC is _still_ 6 joints, by the way.
[16:44:40] <sharpen047> isnt a and b for a rotary table and moving spindle?
[16:44:56] <sharpen047> i want a and b?
[16:45:11] <andypugh> It's up to you :-)
[16:46:04] <sharpen047> lol is a moving spindle and moving table the same thing? the software doesnt know which is which like a table x axis or moving gantry?
[16:48:11] <L84Supper> yeah, it's all relative
[16:48:17] <sharpen047> and for the rotary table with 1 to 8 reduction what would my leadscrew pitch be? would it be 360 or 1? there is no leadscrew its just a pulley
[16:49:19] <sharpen047> then if i get a mesa card what step rate would change? jitter would be the same right? so does that mean smaller pulses are generated?

[16:51:25] <L84Supper> you might be conflating a few things there that don't have anything to do with each other
[16:51:50] <sharpen047> how would a mesa card increase speed of the motors?
[16:52:27] <andypugh> You only ned to set the SCALE for the axis when editing by hand. And that is just the number of steps per degree.

[16:53:28] <IchGuckLive> hi all B)
[16:53:37] <andypugh> so yoiur SCALE would be 200 x 8 / 360 = 4.444444 (or more if you have microstepping)
[16:53:54] -!- ve7it [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[16:54:00] <pcw_home> If your base thread rate limits the step rate to something lower your drives/motors are capable of,
[16:54:02] <pcw_home> then yes a hardware stepgen will increase the maximum velocities
[16:54:05] <sharpen047> ms of 10
[16:54:07] <andypugh> Jitter is zero with a Mesa card, the steps are generated in Hardware
[16:54:09] <sharpen047> so 44.4
[16:54:20] <sharpen047> wait... NO jitter?
[16:54:44] <sharpen047> that mean i can use an nvidia card too? and a multicore processor?
[16:55:31] <andypugh> You still need good realtime performance to schedule the step rate
[16:55:32] <pcw_home> You do not want jitter thats an appreciable part of the servo thread time
[16:56:00] <sharpen047> ah ok but no jitter issues since its about 6000 now?
[16:56:42] <pcw_home> 10 times that is OK for a hardware stepgen system

[17:13:10] <IchGuckLive> i think 7i43
[17:13:50] <sharpen047> AC is what i was planning on
[17:13:56] <andypugh> Get the parport working first, I say.
[17:14:45] <andypugh> By then the 7i80 support might be in a released version :-)
[17:14:48] <IchGuckLive> there are posts out for this
[17:15:07] <IchGuckLive> mastercam x4 has a Her,mle TNC 425 on board
[17:15:49] <IchGuckLive> you can use the iso for this to get real axis values insted of M128 Recalculate inside
[17:15:52] <sharpen047> wouldnt i need to modify my posts for the hardware i make? with offsets to the axis of the hardware? where would i find one? posted on cnczone with no luck after 2-3 weeks of posting and searching
[17:16:29] <IchGuckLive> only the ofset for the "schwenkpunkt" is needed
[17:16:46] <sharpen047> whats the iso?
[17:17:04] <sharpen047> theres a post for TNC 425 in mastercam already?
[17:17:07] <IchGuckLive> iso is G01 Hermle is L ,CP, Lp
[17:17:33] <sharpen047> "schwenkpunkt"?
[17:17:48] <IchGuckLive> calulated rotation point
[17:18:03] <IchGuckLive> verses real rotation axis point
[17:18:31] <sharpen047> ok so i would need to change the iso and offsets in the post? otherwise its already there?
[17:18:45] <sharpen047> or is that why you said kinematics since that would compensate for the real values
[17:18:46] <andypugh> I think that machine geometry would be inputs into the CAM, not fixed in the post.

[17:24:18] <sharpen047> i do not have any, mastercam isnt mine
[17:25:58] <sharpen047> i can use the machine shop to use mastercam but i have to come up with a post
[17:26:25] <IchGuckLive> so ask your friend how he woudt like to do the mashine setup as ge got the posts inside
[17:26:45] <IchGuckLive> a maschine post on mastercam is near 800USD
[17:27:07] <sharpen047> IchGuckLive: i have remote access to mastercam. i can get the files that come with it
[17:27:37] <IchGuckLive> so first find a post then get the mashine layout

[17:29:23] <sharpen047> actually i have a couple on my usb drive. i have a haas vf-tr and a generic faunc 5x
[17:29:41] <IchGuckLive> Catia Solid,Hypermill,PTC
[17:30:12] <IchGuckLive> haas vf will do the job as it is iso
[17:30:31] <IchGuckLive> i got the VF4 and minimill in the shop
[17:31:22] <sharpen047> ok iso should work then
[17:31:46] <IchGuckLive> the haas tr uses a other setup

[17:35:16] <sharpen047> so am i stuck?
[17:35:39] <IchGuckLive> no
[17:35:57] <IchGuckLive> kinetics is your friend B)
[17:36:22] <sharpen047> so i need to find a machine that uses iso and use kinematics to adjust for "schwenkpunkt"
[17:36:33] <IchGuckLive> what is your goal to reasdch in parts
[17:36:52] <IchGuckLive> as 99% is a AXYZ

[17:39:42] <IchGuckLive> but you can also dio this on 4
[17:40:06] <IchGuckLive> as you turn your part and postprozess at different angels
[17:40:59] <sharpen047> how do i change the angles without a 5th axis?

[18:18:46] <sharpen047> i noticed haha
[18:18:54] <sharpen047> he said 4 axis and make another machine
[18:19:13] <archivist> I just shut up or some times tell him what the original question was
[18:19:36] <sharpen047> haha
[18:21:19] <sharpen047> 4 axis is a neat idea but doesnt work for my machine
[18:21:42] <sharpen047> cnctoolkit is supposed to have 5 axis cam processing but it just crashes for me

[18:23:13] <archivist> although for some stuff hand coding is a real option

[23:38:47] <PetefromTn> andypugh Yeah man I have seen a bunch of different kinds of surface grinders but dunno the story about that paricular one. Most I have seen are manual with just power feed for the table and height and position knobs.

[23:40:19] <PetefromTn> I'm sure either way I cannot afford it right now but I just thought it was a decent price for a brand name surface grinder.
[23:40:55] <andypugh> This turned out well:
http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/41-guis/26550-lathe-macros#34357
[23:41:31] <andypugh> A Universal grinder is probably a better buy, if one comes up.
[23:44:20] <andypugh> This would be good, except that as far as I can see the grinding head is competely missing:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/370757204536
[23:45:02] <andypugh> My dad has a very similar machine, and it can do surface and cylindrical (ID and OD) grinding.
[23:45:34] <PetefromTn> Would love to have both cylindrical grinding is sweet.

[23:52:37] <Tom_itx> nice one andy
[23:55:18] <andypugh> I need to work out why, on my real lathe, it errors out with "can't do G1 move with zero feed rate", but it works perfectly on the sim.
