[00:07:44] <Connor> Retraction: Nelson MandelaWe regret that due to a technical error our report of Nelson Mandela's death was unintentionally published. It has now been taken down.
[00:13:56] <jdh> so, the only thing between being alive or dead is a technical error?

[01:46:02] <PetefromTn> Yup pretty damn quiet
[01:47:17] -!- BJfreeman has quit [Quit: had a good time]
[01:49:54] <PetefromTn> Well I managed to get most of the machining done on my CAt40 Flycutter adapter for my facemill toolholder today. I still need to drill and tap for the setscrews. The toolholder seems to fit nice in the slot and the bores came out pretty nice on the lathe.
[01:50:32] <PetefromTn> Tomorrow I should be able to locate and drill and tap the holes and finally test the thing on my aluminum blanks I made for my vise jaws.
[01:51:10] <PetefromTn> I am then gonna draw up a simple program to machine the holes for the jaw bolts and be ready to make some cool stuff.
[01:51:45] <PetefromTn> The VMC ran PERFECTLY today. I am still amazed how well and stable LinuxCNC runs.
[01:51:56] <skunkworks> PetefromTn: great!
[01:52:15] <skunkworks> did you figure out the comunication issue you where having earlier?
[01:52:18] <PetefromTn> Cutting that 5/8 wide slot in the stainless steel holder so easily is just amazing.
[01:52:27] <PetefromTn> communication?
[01:52:50] <PetefromTn> do you mean the problem with the travel?
[01:52:51] <skunkworks> I thought between the 5i25 and the daughter card (long cable?)
[01:53:06] <PetefromTn> No problems there that I can see.
[01:53:11] <skunkworks> great!
[01:53:43] <PetefromTn> I am still occasionally getting some errors upon startup of the spindle due to noise but I have not messed with fixing it yet.
[01:53:51] <PetefromTn> I have some ideas tho.
[01:54:17] <PetefromTn> The Cinci is a BEAST compared to my RF45 and basically everything I have ever used
[01:54:36] <skunkworks> yes - it is nice having heavy iron
[01:54:40] <PetefromTn> It seems to cut equal at least to the Haas Machines I ran in that shop
[01:54:57] <PetefromTn> Stainless and steels are NO problem at all LOL
[01:56:09] <PetefromTn> I was not even pushing it because the tool holder body was which was round was just held in the vise at the specific angle between the fixed jaw and my little V jaw I have here against the moving jaw.
[01:56:25] <PetefromTn> So no crazy deep cuts were going on due to fear of pullout
[01:56:50] <PetefromTn> but it STILL made cuts that my old RF45 would have been shaking like crazy with.
[01:57:34] <PetefromTn> I have drawn my Spindle Encoder mount in Freecad and once I can face stuff with this new toolholder I am gonna try to machine that thing.
[01:58:27] <Tom_itx> did you try cambam?
[01:58:39] <Tom_itx> i've never used it so i don't know if it's any good or not
[01:59:00] <PetefromTn> Yeah I am playing with it.
[01:59:16] <Tom_itx> does it let you modify the post?
[01:59:20] <PetefromTn> I have not tested any code with it yet but it seems to work pretty good with toolpathing
[01:59:24] <PetefromTn> Yeah\
[01:59:49] <Tom_itx> you're using the older free version?
[01:59:55] <PetefromTn> There are a couple ways to do it as well and there is apparently already a native post for LinuxCNC|
[01:59:55] <PetefromTn> \
[02:00:25] <PetefromTn> No the free trial of the newest version. Works 40 times apparently fully featured

[02:09:29] <PetefromTn> Tom_itx: Honestly that is exactly what I am gonna do for a bit while I test it out to make sure it will do what I want. It is so cheap for what you are getting I will of course buy it but I really like the way they let you really use it for a bit.
[02:09:47] tjb1_ is now known as tjb1
[02:10:20] <PetefromTn> If you look at thier forum there are some pretty impressive features that it can do for the price.
[02:10:59] <PetefromTn> It can even do native JPG or Bitmap to Gcode for things like lithopanes and stuff. Pretty sweet.
[02:11:15] <jdh> how do you hold work when cutting outside profiles?
[02:11:50] <Tom_itx> depends
[02:11:54] <Tom_itx> on the part
[02:12:03] -!- tjb1 has quit [Client Quit]
[02:12:10] <Tom_itx> sometimes i hold a bit of the bottom and profile it
[02:12:20] <Tom_itx> other times i bolt it to a workplate
[02:12:24] <PetefromTn> yeah man it depends
[02:12:35] <Tom_itx> you can put op stops to move fixtures if you need to
[02:12:39] <PetefromTn> Sometimes I use tabs, Sometimes I drill and tap some hold down bolts
[02:12:50] <Tom_itx> bolt tabs is another way
[02:12:54] <PetefromTn> Sometimes I even use adhesives
[02:13:03] <jdh> hm. I should have put some stops on my plate for remounting.
[02:13:13] <Tom_itx> vaccuum plates, double back tape etc
[02:13:27] <Tom_itx> i heard someone here using superglue
[02:13:40] <Tom_itx> add locating pins if you need to move stuff
[02:13:40] <jdh> these brackets had some internal holes so I did them first and then bolted through the holes to some Al plate
[02:14:01] <Tom_itx> or make a 2nd op fixture to locate it
[02:14:18] <PetefromTn> They actually sell some kind of epoxy that is heat release above what is typical in machining and apparently works quite well
[02:14:24] <Tom_itx> we used soft jaws alot for stuff like that
[02:14:31] <Tom_itx> cut the profile into the jaws
[02:14:37] <Tom_itx> while they're separated a bit
[02:14:52] <archivist> shellac was the clock/watchmakers way
[02:15:05] <jdh> I don't want to scrap a plate big enough to hold this next one down though
[02:15:12] <PetefromTn> Yeah that is what I do a lot, softjaws
[02:15:40] <Tom_itx> http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/P3.jpg
[02:15:46] <Tom_itx> that's one we used softjaws on
[02:15:49] <PetefromTn> Sometimes I use 123 blocks and bolt thru the part to the table for a goaround
[02:16:02] <Tom_itx> http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/P1.jpg
[02:16:08] <Tom_itx> P1 & P2 were similar
[02:16:16] <Tom_itx> then i stood it up and cut the inner slot
[02:16:20] <jdh> did you cut P3 as a 3d cut, or cut/rotate/cut?
[02:16:29] <Tom_itx> just a slot
[02:16:41] <Tom_itx> the profile was done by then
[02:16:43] <Tom_itx> and the hole
[02:18:17] <Tom_itx> i used to keep a 6" kurt vise in my cad files to add in later to show the operator
[02:28:21] <Tom_itx> jdh, if it's a flat part you can use material thicker than you need and flycut the bottom of when it's done if you hold it in a vice jaw. You would need a vicejaw with the part profile in it for that though.

[10:03:09] <tjtr33> Tom_itx, interesting part
http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/cnc/P3.jpg
[10:03:37] <tjtr33> at the fest, the master programmer Willy, gave a run thru of NCL, the system they use
[10:04:23] -!- ktchk [[email protected]] has parted #linuxcnc
[10:04:24] <tjtr33> he imported an IGES model , built a box around it, representing the stock, and decided the milling procedure and clamping
[10:04:54] -!- ktchk [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[10:05:10] <tjtr33> he , like you, had to add clamping that eventually got cut thru releasing the part.
[10:05:57] <tjtr33> it involved on reclamping. i'd never seen the bounding box idea before, very interesting ( i always worked from prints not models )
[10:06:10] <tjtr33> *one reclamping

[10:36:18] <RyanS> Shall I find it strange that metal suppliers tend to stock everything except cast-iron?
[10:36:28] <RyanS> should
[10:41:33] <jthornton> cast iron is usually not in stock shapes but cast to a specific shape
[10:43:25] <RyanS> I found one place a foundry only suppliers 3 m lengths of cast iron bar

[10:54:07] <jthornton> I need an A axis on my BP knee mill, I've been looking at rotary tables on flea bay but not sure if that is a good way to go
[10:56:35] <jthornton> has anyone converted a manual rotary to stepper or servo?
[10:58:09] <archivist_herron> both mine are stepper conversions on elcheapo rotaries
[10:58:57] <archivist_herron> one is a Vertex the other a chinese copy of it
[10:59:09] <jthornton> I need to cut short pieces of tubing to fit into a 3 way intersection so not very precise
[11:00:49] <archivist_herron> http://www.archivist.info/cnc/stage8/IMG_0268.JPG you can see one of the mounts
[11:01:55] <jthornton> that looks easy enough, you just removed the handle and put a coupling on it to the stepper?
[11:02:13] <RyanS> hmm, chuck adapter making fun tomorrow..
[11:02:22] <archivist_herron> http://www.archivist.info/cnc/stage7/IMG_0252.JPG the other has a tube with a slot to access the coupling
[11:02:37] -!- skunkworks [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[11:03:23] <archivist_herron> jthornton, yup machined a plate to register and screw holes plus the four pillar holes
[11:03:58] <archivist_herron> nothing too posh or accurate :)
[11:05:02] <jthornton> this only needs to cut bevels on tubing atm
[11:06:13] <archivist_herron> only thing with the cheap rotaries is keeping the backlash down to acceptable levels

[11:10:16] <archivist_herron> Vertex do quote accuracy etc
[11:10:49] <archivist_herron> have 90-1 reduction too
[11:11:05] <RyanS> So it's essentially just a matter of slapping a stepper motor in place of the handle
[11:11:46] <jthornton> the soba is cheaper than the fleabay ones
[11:12:43] <archivist_herron> no quality spec with a soba
[11:13:44] <RyanS> archivist what on earth sort of spindle is that from? on your mill
[11:14:50] <archivist_herron> a lathe headstock
[11:15:13] <archivist_herron> google hobbymat md65
[11:15:39] <archivist_herron> as a lathe it is one of the worst in the world
[11:18:40] <archivist_herron> http://www.lathes.co.uk/hobbymat/
[11:22:08] <RyanS> I wonder if myford lathes (considering people buy old ones and do restoration) are really any better than new Chinese lathes
[11:22:31] <RyanS> Or any other brand equivalent people tend to restore
[11:28:22] <archivist_herron> I would prefer something with a better bed design than a myford
[11:29:54] <archivist_herron> a worn myford has play or is tight with very little usable sliding area

[11:31:58] <jthornton> a bit higher priced
[11:32:34] <archivist_herron> the vertex can be adjusted

[17:13:34] <jdh> you could probably do a 6" chuck on there, with a backing plate

[17:19:00] <Jymmm> paramedics
[17:19:36] <Jymmm> that is an awesome movie!!!
[17:20:34] <willburrrr2003> andypugh , on stepgen you said that I could limit my output freq with maxvel...but I am wondering how linuxcnc knows what freq is being out put if the velocity command from linuxcnc is in rpm, and maxvel as far as I understood it was the max RPMs that linuxcnc can call for?
[17:21:05] <willburrrr2003> I mean, it does work the way I configured it...just trying to wrap my brain around what your describing, and the why
[17:21:13] <andypugh> Max frequency is related to the stepgen scale and the stepgen max velocity.
[17:21:32] <willburrrr2003> there's a scale in stepgen?! :p
[17:22:00] <willburrrr2003> I thought I had to use an external scal module?
[17:22:00] <andypugh> Yes, that is what all the messing about with leadscrew pitches and gearing is used to calculate
[17:22:31] <tjtr33> could someone try this cfg? sim/axis axis_foam ? i get this "insmod: error inserting '/home/tomp/linuxcnc-dev/rtlib/or2.ko': -1 File exists"
[17:22:44] -!- asdfasd1 [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[17:22:45] <andypugh> The scale is steps per unit length for position mode. I am not sure what it is for velocity, probably the same.
[17:23:28] -!- zzolo has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[17:23:37] <andypugh> So, if you tell the system that the stepgen scale is 1000 steps per inch, and the max speed is 25 in/sec then you get a max frequency of 25kHz.
[17:24:06] -!- asdfasd has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
[17:24:11] <andypugh> However, you can almost certainly fiddle those numbers to give a command in rpm and get the required frequency out.,
[17:25:39] <willburrrr2003> yes, or redefine steplen to give a max freq, and send an commanded rpm speed request from linuxcnc to stepgen as I have done
[17:26:06] <willburrrr2003> I love how versitile linuxcnc is, and that there are so many ways that something can be made to work
[17:26:15] <andypugh> tjtr33: Works for me (in master)

[17:30:01] <willburrrr2003> Ok, for encoder. I will be using a single pulse for encoder phase z, and a 36 pulse for encoder phase a...am I hooking my pulses to the correct phases ?

[18:29:14] <glowplug> I have a question regarding the 6-axis configurations. I think I know the answer but I just want to be sure.
[18:29:47] <glowplug> LinuxCNC cannot translate G-Code produced in 3-axis to a 6+ axis robot correct? The G-code needs to be generated for 6+ axis machining?

[18:36:05] <skunkworks> glowplug, depends on what you mean. You can setup kins that translates world to joint. So you can program xyz and linuxcnc translates to 1-6 joints.
[18:37:03] <glowplug> Interesting. I found a project online that is *very* similar to what I planned.
http://www.alvarogil.com/cadcam/robot/index.html
[18:37:25] <glowplug> He uses MasterCAM and RobotMaster to generate 6-axis G-Code. Your saying that wasn't even necessary?
[18:38:08] <archivist> depends......
[18:38:08] <skunkworks> heh using mach - you would have to do that. :)
[18:38:35] <glowplug> Thats where I got confused. In the description he says "EMC2"
[18:38:39] <glowplug> Then further down it says Mach3.
[18:38:56] <archivist> you may want something in between some kins and 5 axis gcode

[18:40:30] <skunkworks> glowplug, did you home it?
[18:40:43] <glowplug> This is extremely interesting because it essentially makes 4-9 axis CAM software irrelevent...
[18:40:53] <glowplug> Yes it is homed. But probably not correctly. Haha
[18:41:38] <archivist> 3 axis has no head rotation, you probably want 5
[18:42:31] <glowplug> But in theory if I have 3-axis g-code I can machine something in 3 dimensions using a 6-axis robot (it just wouldn't use head rotation).
[18:43:05] <archivist> yes like that video
[18:44:39] <glowplug> I just need to tackle why I can't get the simulation working with basic 3-axis g-code then.
[18:45:42] -!- PetefromTn [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[18:45:48] <archivist> some error in dimension, did you adjust the model as well as the kins
[18:46:32] <glowplug> The model seems to be a good size and position. How do I adjust the kins?
[18:46:48] <glowplug> One major issue I'm having is that the "touch off" button is greyed out. Is this normal?
[18:47:43] <archivist> have you adjusted anything at all or is it the stock model
[18:48:18] <glowplug> I had changed some things. But I did a complete re-compile of LinuxCNC 2.6 and I'm starting from scratch now.
[18:53:28] <skunkworks> the puma sim works - i have played with it

[19:06:17] <glowplug> I'm using Inkscape + GCodeTools. I have a file that I used on my 3-axis CNC and it worked perfectly. In the Puma560 sim it immediately says "Exceeded soft limit on joint 2"
[19:09:30] <cpresser> glowplug: its outside the working area
[19:09:46] <cpresser> either scale the gcode, or increase the working-area (soft-limits)
[19:10:12] <glowplug> How do I go about option #2?
[19:13:13] <jdh> change the machine limits in your .ini
[19:16:34] <glowplug> Hmm. I'll take a look again. Thanks =).
[19:18:42] <cradek> often that just means your origin is set wrong
[19:18:51] <cradek> look at your bounding box and see what's sticking out
[19:19:50] <glowplug> The red box is massive. My part is just a drawing in the center of it.
[19:21:09] <glowplug> Also the grey pointer for the robots tool is exactly where its supposed to be.
[19:22:07] <jdh> did you home and touch-off?
[19:22:27] <glowplug> Thats whats giving me a hard time. The "touch off" button is greyed out when the robot is activated.
[19:22:50] <jdh> I didn't know there was a touch off button
[19:23:25] <glowplug> In the Axis GUI there is a "home all" and "touch off". On my 3-axis I use those to before I start and it works perfectly.
[19:23:43] <glowplug> In the Puma SIM the touch off button is greyed out. Can't use it. O.o
[19:24:15] <jdh> I guess I have seen them. I just use home & end
[19:25:00] <glowplug> Hmm. Where do you use the end function?
[19:25:18] -!- tjtr33 [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[19:25:37] <jdh> touch-off
[19:26:13] <glowplug> Haha. Damn it!
[19:26:42] <glowplug> I've googled "linuxcnc touch-off greyed out / disabled" I can't seem to find anyone with the same problem.
[19:27:50] <jdh> hit $?
[19:29:39] <glowplug> !!!
[19:29:47] <glowplug> What does $ do?
[19:30:05] <skunkworks> changes from joint to world
[19:30:08] <skunkworks> and back
[19:30:34] <glowplug> And that magically re-enables touch-off? What the heck?
[19:30:42] <skunkworks> so the display will change from joint 0-5 to xyzabc...
[19:31:20] -!- stsy has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[19:31:50] <glowplug> So by default its showing me the joints and not the XYZ coordinates.
[19:31:55] <glowplug> Interesting.
[19:32:30] <cradek> touch off (and most of gcode) make no sense in joint mode
[19:32:41] <jdh> does ctrl-V do something special in axis? WHen pasting into the MDI window, my view always changes.

[19:33:54] <cradek> in X, you highlight the text you want and then paste by pressing the middle button
[19:34:29] <cradek> in recent years some misguided people have stirred in the windows convention of C-x C-c C-v as well, making an unholy combination
[19:34:32] <jdh> my middle button is scroll wheel that does weird things when I push it.
[19:35:02] <cradek> some misguided people have also made mice without good middle buttons
[19:35:06] <jdh> I'm not a mouse fan
[19:35:46] <jdh> all the marks on my vise and table are due to bad mdi entry.
[19:36:08] <cradek> you might try shift-insert
[19:36:33] <jdh> didn't work
[19:36:35] <jdh> but, ctrl-insert works in gedit
[19:36:56] <cradek> shift insert works for me
[19:37:10] mrsun is now known as MrSunshine
[19:37:19] <cradek> highlight your text in another window, then move over to AXIS and hit shift-insert
[19:37:20] <jdh> cool. I'll try that again tonight. I never remmber the ctrl-vcwtf
[19:37:41] <cradek> yeah those are windowsisms
[19:38:00] <skunkworks> I grew up on ctrl-insert and shift-insert
[19:38:15] <skunkworks> it is my goto copy/paste
[19:38:23] <jdh> me too
[19:38:37] <jdh> vs. scissors and tape from the tty
[19:38:51] <archivist> yy pp
[19:43:34] <tjtr33> i think i have a modified version of config/sim/axis/core_sim9.hal.
[19:43:47] <tjtr33> mine has an orphan loadrt or2 count=1.
[19:43:48] <tjtr33> i tried to view on github to compare but get a 404
[19:44:07] <tjtr33> and the orphan screws up the wire foam sim
[19:44:23] <tjtr33> i removed the orphan and it works

[20:14:53] <glowplug> I don't happen to have an end key. But the $ hotkey pretty much solved everything.
[20:15:10] <glowplug> I don't have the robot working yet. But now that I can use touch-off I should be able to get it.
