[00:05:14] <andypugh> I was previously unaware of that stuff, and now I need some.
[00:07:01] <CaptHindsight> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ozQdGY2WnI Precious Metal Clay
[00:07:27] <andypugh> I just finished reading the Wikipedia page
[00:08:58] <CaptHindsight> diy with metal powder + PVA
[00:10:12] <CaptHindsight> the patent for that product uses a water-soluble cellulose binder
[00:10:20] <andypugh> I just emailed my sister to see if she was aware of it.
[00:10:45] <andypugh> She makes really nice things with modelling clay, but her day-job is as a jeweler...
[00:11:00] <WalterN> oh nice
[00:11:34] <CaptHindsight> methyl cellulose and/or ethyl cellulose
[00:11:56] <WalterN> my sister ended up joining the army
[00:12:28] <CaptHindsight> does she make military jewelry?
[00:12:42] <Loetmichel> WalterN: something about the hight illiterate rate in the army comes to mind...
[00:13:08] <andypugh> I have had a long-term plan to make a new case for a watch I have. I wonder if that would be a reasonable starting point to make a blank to machine.
[00:14:22] <CaptHindsight> "the content of the precious metal powder has been determined so as to range from 50 to 90% by weight."
[00:15:13] <andypugh> I tried to persuade my sister to lend me a lump of gold to make a CNC turning video with. (The idea being to give it all back for re-melting afterards :-)
[00:15:27] <WalterN> Loetmichel: what?
[00:15:39] <Tom_itx> haha, i bet she went for that...
[00:16:07] <WalterN> andypugh: ha... of course she said no
[00:16:18] <andypugh> She pointed out that it woild cost thousands for a big enough bit, and they didn't keep that sort of lump in stock.
[00:16:42] <andypugh> I think she would have gone for it if they had it.
[00:16:59] <WalterN> you could do silver quite a bit cheaper and it would still be considered classy
[00:17:43] <CaptHindsight> copper with <1um flash gold
[00:18:14] <Loetmichel> WalterN: nothing. i just hat the picture of a blonde navy seal with black paint in her face appearing before my inner eye, sorry.

[00:25:51] <Loetmichel> nice. and my age for the looks of it...
[00:26:10] <andypugh> A year younger than me, so 45.
[00:26:16] <Loetmichel> wanna introduce me?

[00:27:24] <andypugh> jthornton: Yes, that's what jewellers do :-)
[00:27:28] <Loetmichel> andypugh: but can she weld "wood"?
[00:27:59] <jthornton> you have to use mahogany welding rods

[00:28:22] <CaptHindsight> I wonder what the metal panel looks like on their blood work?

[00:40:12] <andypugh> I am fairly sure that my dad's Smart and Brown has bushes. But I am not sure they are original.
[00:40:20] <andypugh> Hi MacGalempsy
[00:40:59] <CaptHindsight> anyone else following the "USB Camera for edge finder?" discussion on the ML?
[00:41:00] <archivist> even the Mikron hobbing machine at the old job and the one I have here do not
[00:41:02] <MacGalempsy> you guys have a nice day?
[00:41:46] <archivist> CaptHindsight, I did at the beginning
[00:42:31] <CaptHindsight> I using a $10K zoom microscope lens and high res camera to not only detect edges but defects on surfaces and store their positions
[00:43:18] <CaptHindsight> then going back over them with tools, lasers or inkjet nozzles
[00:43:45] <andypugh> I used to design machines for chip inspection and mechanical testing. Those had good optics.
[00:43:51] <archivist> I saw a camera used to get a 3d model of a self tapping screw yesterday (Nikon)
[00:44:03] <MacGalempsy> whats the significant difference between the usb camera and the $10K microscope?
[00:44:14] <MacGalempsy> ther than about $9550
[00:44:18] <andypugh> I wonder if this is a bargain?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sogenique-Societe-Genevoise-Chesterman-Electronic-Height-Gauge-/360638515651?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item53f7bb09c3
[00:44:28] <CaptHindsight> archivist: how did they scan the part?
[00:44:28] <andypugh> MacGalempsy: Good optics.
[00:44:36] <WalterN> good optics is bloody expensive
[00:44:37] <archivist> lens and mounting on the usb stuff is less than good
[00:44:49] <CaptHindsight> MacGalempsy: we resolve down to ~1um
[00:44:52] <MacGalempsy> sure, but an hd webcam with a lense would be about the same, right?
[00:44:59] <MacGalempsy> wow
[00:45:08] <archivist> CaptHindsight, depth and by use of focus
[00:45:14] <MacGalempsy> by lense, I mean add-on
[00:45:15] <CaptHindsight> MacGalempsy: from 1cm away
[00:45:26] <MacGalempsy> ah, yes, the distance
[00:45:40] <MacGalempsy> focal length can be a bugger
[00:45:57] <archivist> as usual I have my littl gears or parts in my pocket to try
[00:46:39] <archivist> they use focal length to advantage in the 3d surface reconstruction
[00:47:21] <CaptHindsight> are there any low cost ethernet HD cameras? They seem to be looking for <$100 solutions that "just work"
[00:48:07] <archivist> best usb camera I have seen is about £200
[00:49:03] <CaptHindsight> they were ruling out USB due to real time issues, where the machine is vs where the camera was vs is
[00:49:10] <WalterN> yeah
[00:49:47] <MacGalempsy> I have an extra axis network cam you could part out
[00:49:52] <WalterN> I've always wanted to make a high speed high resolution camera for recording things like bullets flying in front of it
[00:50:09] <MacGalempsy> the PT is broken, but the camera sent signals
[00:50:13] <WalterN> 1000+ frames/second in 1080p color or better
[00:50:16] <MacGalempsy> but it is not hp
[00:50:18] <MacGalempsy> hd
[00:50:29] <MacGalempsy> wow. now that would be impressive
[00:50:35] <CaptHindsight> at least the ethernet cameras have a determined latency

[00:50:38] -!- jonpry has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[00:51:35] <archivist> I think one needs to stop take image move on so usb would be ok
[00:51:35] <MacGalempsy> unfortunately, a HD network cam will be about $3k
[00:52:20] <archivist> real speedy cameras were at the show, but dont ask the price :)
[00:52:47] <CaptHindsight> yeah, move the machine to the area near the edge, get it in frame
[00:52:47] <WalterN> the PCIe 3.0 buss is fast enough to handle the throughput for such a highspeed camera
[00:52:53] <andypugh> CaptHindsight: The operative search term is "Ip Camera"
[00:53:09] <CaptHindsight> take a measurement, move the machine, remeasure
[00:53:14] <WalterN> but I'm not sure if the memory in a computer is fast enough... heh
[00:53:25] <WalterN> for dumping raw image data
[00:53:27] <andypugh> I have one in my workshop.
[00:53:51] <andypugh> (on a shelf, turned off)
[00:53:56] <CaptHindsight> andypugh: I was not using that term since it tends to mean more of a low cost security cam vs precision optics and sensor
[00:54:27] <archivist> but any system has latency if you stop while you check your image you get rid of motion blur and dont care about latency
[00:55:29] <MacGalempsy> one possibility would be to use an HD analog cam, then use a converter to move the image. the older analog cams are cheaper, and there are a variety of different lens
[00:55:31] <CaptHindsight> WalterN: a new PC is
[00:55:43] <archivist> live streaming whatever method is really delayed a bit
[00:55:57] <CaptHindsight> not an old 100mhz pentium with ISA bus
[00:56:16] -!- patrickarlt has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[00:56:18] <andypugh> I suspect that Keyence will have something, at a price :-)
[00:56:43] <WalterN> CaptHindsight: so DDR3 1600mhz would handle the throughput?
[00:56:55] <WalterN> I kinda assumed it would, just never calculated it
[00:57:02] -!- patrickarlt has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[00:57:14] <MacGalempsy> I am amazed by some of the resolution that some of the reprappers get looking at their .1mm layer heights
[00:57:33] <WalterN> I did calculate the PCIe buss, as well as the kind of rad data I would be pulling from the camera
[00:57:50] <WalterN> talk about working the computer IO over... heh
[00:58:38] <andypugh> My USB camera does actually cause realtime delay messages on my controller.
[00:58:59] <andypugh> (Well, one of the several that I have does, anyway)
[00:59:45] <CaptHindsight> we were doing real time capture and DSP processing back in the 80's on PC-AT's, ISA was just for control and power, we had a separate backplane/bus for the image data
[01:00:22] <CaptHindsight> 30 fps at 512 x 512 8b per pixel
[01:00:24] <archivist> the fast camera I saw yesterday was showing slowmo of race car test crash on the nose
[01:01:47] <CaptHindsight> WalterN: did you find a sensor fast enough?
[01:02:04] <archivist> looked like they grabbed it in the camera then passed it back
[01:03:10] <WalterN> CaptHindsight: thats something that I couldent find out... can a CCD just be probed that fast?
[01:03:18] <CaptHindsight> the last high speed camera I built was back in the 90's, we used several sensors along with spinning mirrors to get the speeds
[01:04:20] <CaptHindsight> WalterN: depends on the design, Kodak and few other had the sensors but didn't always sell them as a component, you had to buy the $250K system
[01:04:22] <archivist> heh photron 1 megapixel at 13500 fps just found it in the show guide
[01:04:49] <WalterN> I mean, when you take a picture, you get a shutter speed of less 1/1000s without a problem...
[01:05:07] <CaptHindsight> we built them for monitoring blasting at strip mines

[01:05:40] -!- jonpry [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[01:05:49] <CaptHindsight> the main cost is the explosives so they have to optimize the blasts
[01:06:05] <WalterN> or is there a 'cool down' time for CCDs?
[01:07:20] <WalterN> thats what I couldent find any information on
[01:07:21] <CaptHindsight> the CCD's were sensitive to count single photons, but the bandwidth was limited by the buffers
[01:08:11] -!- Nekosan [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[01:08:33] <WalterN> so its not the actual sensor thats slowing everything down
[01:09:05] <CaptHindsight> back then it was the A/D and the speeds you could clock the buffers/latches
[01:09:17] <mpictor> speaking of high speed cameras, do any of you remember reading an article about a high speed camera on a satellite telescope?
[01:09:52] <mpictor> femtosecond comes to mind, but surely it wasn't *that* fast!

[01:36:22] <MacGalempsy> this morning, I was trying to get the enable command to the 7i77 to enable the amp. The amp requires a ground to enable. in the 7i77 manual it talks about "Active high drive enables, ENAN+ goes to the psu and the ENAN- is used to enable input to control power ground" does that make sense?
[01:37:09] <archivist> MacGalempsy, did you see the message from pcw to you about that
[01:37:19] <MacGalempsy> oh, no
[01:37:23] <MacGalempsy> let me look back
[01:37:47] <CaptHindsight> ~10 hours ago
[01:39:40] <MacGalempsy> ah yes I see that
[01:39:46] <MacGalempsy> so the way I had it hooked up was correct
[01:39:48] <MacGalempsy> ...
[01:40:03] <CaptHindsight> I have a 7i77 here, but it's not hooked up right now :)
[01:40:41] <archivist> yes but can you scope your connections and see if the meet the spec and are changing
[01:43:08] <CaptHindsight> yeah, page 14 of the manual, they try to explain in simple language how to hook it up vs an equivalent schematic of the circuit
[01:43:36] <CaptHindsight> For active high drive enables, ENAN+ should go to the appropriate positive power supply and ENAN- to the drive enable input.
[01:43:57] <CaptHindsight> For active low enable drives, ENAN+ should go the the drive enable and ENAN- to control power ground.
[01:45:41] <CaptHindsight> MacGalempsy: if ground or a zero (0) or (active low) is the enable for your amp
[01:46:10] <CaptHindsight> then ENAN+ should go the the drive enable and ENAN- to control power ground

[01:50:01] <CaptHindsight> MacGalempsy: so the 7i77 acts as a switch that is open when the drive is not enabled
[01:50:22] <CaptHindsight> MacGalempsy: the switch closes to enable you servo drive
[01:51:33] <CaptHindsight> the voltage comes from your servo drive at a +, when the 7i77 enables the drive it closes a switch that pulls the + voltage from the servo drive down to ground or -

[02:01:36] <CaptHindsight> MacGalempsy: how are you measuring the + and - for the drive enable?
[02:03:43] <MacGalempsy> ok back. let me get the link to the datasheet
[02:04:17] <MacGalempsy> http://www.copleycontrols.com/motion/pdf/4122.pdf
[02:06:32] <CaptHindsight> ( Default function with JP-1 on pins 2-3. For +5V enable and GND inhibit, move JP1 to pins 1-2 )
[02:06:34] <MacGalempsy> so when i check the voltage, I put the + on the ena+ and the grnd on the common groundbar.
[02:06:42] <CaptHindsight> how do you have the jumpers set?
[02:07:24] <MacGalempsy> ok. I have enable and reset on common grd
[02:07:42] <MacGalempsy> enapos to ENA+ and enaneg to _
[02:07:45] <MacGalempsy> -
[02:07:54] <MacGalempsy> ENA-
[02:08:20] <CaptHindsight> how about JP-1 on the drive?
[02:08:34] <MacGalempsy> jumpers are 2-3
[02:08:34] <CaptHindsight> is it on pins 2-3 or 1-2?
[02:09:01] <MacGalempsy> the green light on the drive is on because enable and reset are grounded
[02:09:16] <CaptHindsight> has it been set there the entire time that the 7i77 was hooked up to it?
[02:09:30] <MacGalempsy> yes
[02:10:21] <MacGalempsy> from what I put together, the /POSenable and /NEGenable on the drive go to ENA+ and ENA- on the 7i77
[02:10:50] <MacGalempsy> but the /POSenable and /NEGenable are transmitting 5v, and they need to show ground instead
[02:11:47] <CaptHindsight> /Reset ground for self-reset every 200 ms.
[02:11:55] <MacGalempsy> and ref (+) goes to pwr and ref(-) goes to gnd
[02:12:16] <CaptHindsight> so you have a self rest every 200ms right now
[02:12:58] <MacGalempsy> yes
[02:13:49] <MacGalempsy> take that off gnd and try?
[02:14:17] <CaptHindsight> yes, since you are generating a reset 5 times per second right now
[02:15:12] <CaptHindsight> I'm still trying to interpret what "/POS enable, /NEG enable Gnd enables positive or negative output currents." is supposed to mean
[02:16:03] <CaptHindsight> but there's a diagram on the next page

[02:24:56] <CaptHindsight> no it should be the default 2-3
[02:25:03] <MacGalempsy> ok let me go try that
[02:25:29] -!- Nekosan has quit [Quit: later folks...]
[02:25:45] <CaptHindsight> be sure the power is off
[02:26:43] <CaptHindsight> /Reset can be left on Ground or 0V to have it automatically clear faults every 200ms
[02:27:15] <CaptHindsight> when first read the spec it wasn't clear

[02:29:19] <CaptHindsight> the drive will signal a Green even if the /POSenable and /NEGenable are not set to Ground 0V
[02:31:41] <CaptHindsight> the /POSenable and /NEGenable seem to be there to limit the motor to only rotate in one direction
[02:34:40] <CaptHindsight> page 7 /POS & /NEG ENABLE INPUTS, HFC! who wrote this?
[02:39:15] <CaptHindsight> it's for torque limiting, so if you trigger the limit it lets the drive reverse direction only
[02:41:00] <CaptHindsight> not torque limit, it's for if the drive trips a limit switch, it's only lets the drive back out
[02:42:44] <CaptHindsight> nope looks like the first interpretation
[02:43:08] <CaptHindsight> thats why there are people called technical editors
[02:45:16] <MacGarage> still no movement
[02:45:41] <MacGarage> when enabled now the voltage on ena+ is .45v
[02:46:34] <MacGarage> when the machine is off, it has 5v
[02:48:34] <MacGalempsy> im thinking about changing jp1 to 1-2
[02:49:57] <MacGalempsy> nevermind, that would enable when off...
[02:50:39] <CaptHindsight> yes, now the /enable is active low so 0.45V is low
[02:51:19] <CaptHindsight> is the led Green on eht drive?
[02:51:25] <CaptHindsight> eht/the
[02:51:27] <MacGarage> no
[02:53:18] <CaptHindsight> how about if you wire pin 11 /enable to ground (pin 10) as well?
[02:54:42] <CaptHindsight> JP1 on pins 2-3, Pin 10, 11, 12 and 13 tied together should give you a Green
[02:55:29] <CaptHindsight> pin 15 /RESET also to Pin 10 for auto-reset

[03:16:30] <CaptHindsight> if you had the Green before it should have ben set to go with the /POSenable and /NEGenable left open

[04:37:04] <MacGalempsy> yay it just moved
[04:37:13] <MacGalempsy> hit the limit and killed the program
[04:37:15] <RyanS> Any idea how long those E size Argon cylinders last for mig?
[04:38:41] <MacGalempsy> so it comes down that the /POSenable and /NEG enable need to be powered and grounded,
[04:38:58] <MacGalempsy> switching the polarity reverses the motor
[04:41:50] <CaptHindsight> RyanS: E size = ~25 cubic feet?
[04:42:19] <RyanS> Not sure
[04:42:38] <CaptHindsight> http://wagnerweldingsupply.com/pdfs/cylsize.pdf
[04:45:52] <CaptHindsight> if the reg is set to about 20C cfh a 20 cf bottle will last about 1 hr of welding, an 80 about 4 hrs
[04:46:42] <RyanS> And the disposable ones are rubbish I hear....
[04:47:12] <CaptHindsight> I have the big tanks >300CF
[04:47:31] <CaptHindsight> depends on where you get yours filled is the usual question
[04:47:50] <CaptHindsight> many places here will only swap their own tanks
[04:49:03] <RyanS> I just asked at a local place in Australia they won't touch Any other tanks
[04:50:30] <CaptHindsight> I have a place nearby that swaps any tanks I show up with, $100 L size tanks on Craigslist have worked out well for me
[04:51:02] <RyanS> actually my old mans welder... Of course they fail to mention to most people that you can't really weld aluminium without spool gun
[04:51:53] <RyanS> anyway, stainless steel is what I want to do so. No issue with that
[04:54:32] <RyanS> TIG looks much neato
[04:55:51] <CaptHindsight> I would want to get a 100CF min. tank if I was doing anything on a regular basis
[04:56:12] <CaptHindsight> they always seem to run out right before you're done with a project
[04:56:26] <CaptHindsight> so get 2 bottles
[04:56:49] <CaptHindsight> so you have one while you get the other filled
[04:57:44] <RyanS> $200 year rental ..
[04:57:59] <CaptHindsight> do they deliver?
[04:58:34] <MacGalempsy> CaptHindsight: the way it appear to work with the /POSenable and /NEGenable is, they need to be polar opposites to let current flow in one direction or the other. so if /POSenable is grounded, the motor spins in one direction, but both cannot be the same at the same time
[04:59:37] <CaptHindsight> MacGalempsy: figures, the writing is terrible for that section
[04:59:58] <MacGalempsy> therefore, I am considering switching JP1 to 1-2 for positive intead of ground, that way it can run on analog enable out
[05:00:24] <MacGalempsy> and power the drive, then the other two leads will have to go to outs with some logic
[05:00:55] <MacGalempsy> like clockwise is posenable + and negenable -.
[05:01:03] <MacGalempsy> does that sound correct?
[05:01:46] <CaptHindsight> your guess is as good as mine without having a schematic of that driver

[11:48:58] <hiroshima5> is there any chance to use them with emc2????
[11:49:41] <MacGalempsy> probably. it is very flexible
[11:50:31] <MacGalempsy> the best thing to do is start reading!
[11:51:11] <hiroshima5> i've been reading a lot about this
[11:51:23] <MacGalempsy> me too and I still dont get it
[11:51:36] <hiroshima5> there is one thesis project
[11:52:14] <hiroshima5> a polish university that tell they have done it

[11:57:26] <jthornton> MacGalempsy, did you read Peter's reply to you yesterday?
[11:57:41] <MacGalempsy> yep. got the drive to move. but it will only go forward
[11:57:51] <MacGalempsy> and the EN0- still shows 5v
[11:58:19] <MacGalempsy> need to do one more report. brb
[11:58:24] <jthornton> ok
[12:01:22] <hiroshima5> MacGalempsy are you using a fpga?
[12:01:43] <MacGalempsy> mesa 5i25/7i77
[12:04:02] <hiroshima5> and do you use a powerlink connection to the drives????
[12:04:46] <MacGalempsy> nope. I got old analog equipment, except the digital spindle drive,
[12:05:32] <hiroshima5> ahh ok ok
[12:09:27] <MacGalempsy> nothing better for consulting than drilling in underbalanced scenarios, they have to drill sooooo slow
[12:09:30] <MacGalempsy> ok done
[12:12:21] <MacGalempsy> so jthornton - I was able to move the drive forward. there is a /POSenable and a /NEGenable on the card, and grounding one, or the other is supposed to feed power in that direction. what i was experiementing with is ground one, then try to move, then ground the other and try to move.
[12:13:57] <jthornton> so your drive does not use +-10v to control velocity and direction?
[12:15:17] <MacGalempsy> it should but when I try to run -power it wont go backwards
[12:16:23] <MacGalempsy> this is the amp datasheet. page 4 has a description of the /POSenable and /net enablehttp://www.copleycontrols.com/motion/pdf/4122.pdf

[12:18:45] -!- Hitek has quit [Quit: Page closed]
[12:18:56] <jthornton> you have a tach on the motor hooked to the drive?

[12:19:17] -!- toastydeath has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[12:19:19] <jthornton> looking at typical connections the figure on the right is velocity
[12:19:27] <jthornton> is that how yours is conneced up?
[12:22:31] <jthornton> the pos and neg enable are used with limit switches
[12:23:29] <MacGarage> so when I jog+ it will move forward
[12:25:49] <jthornton> if pos/enable is open then it will not allow you to move in the + direction ie. if your sitting on the positive limit switch
[12:26:18] -!- pzpz [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[12:27:14] <MacGarage> actually, when I try to jog negative, it still shows positive
[12:27:23] <MacGarage> but the axis doesnt move
[12:27:38] <Tom_itx> have you tested this on more than one axis?
[12:27:39] <MacGarage> it meaning the HALMETER
[12:28:12] <jthornton> are all the enables grounded?
[12:28:40] <MacGarage> in order to power up the drive, the /posenable cannot be grounded
[12:30:30] <jthornton> that doesn't sound right
[12:30:47] <jthornton> I can see the enable needed to be open but not the limits
[12:30:56] <Tom_itx> it was why i was asking if you have tested on more than one axis
[12:31:27] <MacGarage> like just change the servo amp to another one/
[12:33:22] <jthornton> JP1 is on pins 2-3?
[12:33:36] <MacGarage> yes
[12:34:41] <jthornton> the drive should not complain if terminals 12 and 13 are grounded
[12:34:55] <Tom_itx> agreed
[12:35:00] <Tom_itx> what's the state of 14?
[12:35:07] <Tom_itx> +5 indicates fault
[12:35:10] <Tom_itx> GND is good
[12:35:18] <MacGarage> 12 requires power. if I try to ground it the drive faults
[12:35:21] <jthornton> in fact you could hard wire them grounded and use LinuxCNC to disable the drive
[12:35:53] <Tom_itx> maybe not a bad idea until you get it going at least
[12:35:58] <MacGarage> 14 reads false
[12:36:01] <jthornton> both 12 and 13 say Gnd to enable output current in
[12:36:02] <jthornton> one polarity, open or +5V to inhibit
[12:36:02] <jthornton> Typically used with grounded, nor
[12:36:02] <jthornton> mally closed limit switches.
[12:36:29] <MacGarage> false and the green light shows the drive is enabled
[12:37:10] <MacGarage> the model of control is a 800-469 and the only one that looked the same is that one I linked to
[12:37:29] <MacGarage> I think it was a custom job because 4 are on a single plate
[12:38:18] <jthornton> ok have you tried to call copley and get a manual for your drives?
[12:38:43] <MacGarage> actually now that I look closer jp is in 1-2
[12:38:56] <jthornton> hmmm
[12:39:06] <MacGarage> the board is one way and the sticker is the opposite
[12:39:57] <MacGarage> regardless, why would it go forward and not backward?
[12:39:58] <jthornton> so JP1 on pins 1-2 mean to not ground 12 and 13
[12:40:31] <jthornton> if you ground 12 or 13 it will not allow the drive to go that direction with JP1 on 1-2
[12:40:39] <MacGarage> 11 & 13 are grounded
[12:40:45] <MacGarage> 12 requires power
[12:41:39] <jthornton> by grounding 13 you are telling the drive to not move in the - direction
[12:42:35] <jthornton> 12 and 13 should have 5v to enable with JP1 on 1-2
[12:44:16] <Tom_itx> Default function with JP-1 on pins 2-3. For +5V enable and GND inhibit, move JP1 to pins 1-2
[12:44:23] <Tom_itx> seems that is backwards
[12:44:26] <Tom_itx> from what you want
[12:45:06] <jthornton> it can work either way, you just have to pick one that suits your situation
[12:45:13] <Tom_itx> agreed
[12:45:33] <Tom_itx> we typically use GND limits though
[12:46:05] <MacGarage> that is just the way it came setup
[12:46:49] <MacGarage> but, now that 12 & 13 have power the drive doesnt move
[12:47:42] <Tom_itx> sounds about right
[12:47:48] <Tom_itx> they are / active
[12:47:48] <jthornton> and 11 has 5v?
[12:48:41] <Tom_itx> also / active
[12:48:49] <jthornton> For /Inhibit function at J2-11 ( +5V enables ), move JP1 to pins 1-2
[12:49:09] <MacGarage> 11 is grounded
[12:49:21] -!- jalbertbowdenii has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
[12:49:29] <jthornton> that will stop the drive
[12:50:26] <MacGarage> but it still goes forward
[12:50:35] <Tom_itx> 5v on 11 will inhibit the drive according to the Connectors and PInouts chart
[12:51:03] <jthornton> if JP1 is on 2-3
[12:51:26] <MacGarage> pulling one out so i can see the jumper numbers'
[12:51:31] <Tom_itx> has he tried moving them to 2-3?
[12:52:25] <Tom_itx> that would also allow for the GND limits
[12:53:28] <MacGarage> looking at j1, the "J1" reads as a header to the pins, and they are set to the left 1-2
[12:53:49] <MacGarage> maybe I should switch this one around and see what kind of results we get
[12:53:58] <jthornton> in that position you need 5v to enable
[12:54:16] <jthornton> on 2-3 you ground to enable
[12:54:48] -!- zzolo has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[12:55:01] <Tom_itx> do those inputs require pullups in that state so no false input is read?
[12:56:07] <MacGarage> powering enable faults the drive, and it cannot be reset
[13:02:27] <MacGarage> is it possible reverse is burned up on the motor?

[14:54:10] <MacGalempsy> well, I had to take a break. that is driving me nuts
[14:54:39] <MacGalempsy> before the motor would move smoothly. now it moves a little and the amp faults out
[14:55:39] <MacGalempsy> if I turn down the pid number in callibration mode it wont move, if I run it up to 100 the drive will move, but then eventually fault the amp
[14:56:03] <archivist> drive not seeing feedback?
[14:56:32] <MacGalempsy> would that have to do with the tach lines?
[14:57:15] <MacGalempsy> the tach lines are plugged into the the motor leads
[14:59:06] <MacGalempsy> anyways, I called the company copely controls to ask about the proper data sheet, but had to leave a message. Hopefully the guy will call back later.
[15:02:06] <MacGalempsy> im going to bed. thanks again everyone. thinking about starting to try the same thing on the y axis and see if something else happens. ciao
[15:02:51] <archivist> the tach lines plugged into motor leads sound very wrong
[15:03:33] <archivist> or are you stating it incorrectly
[15:03:57] <MacGalempsy> the manual said to connect the leads to the positive and negative terminals
[15:04:03] <MacGalempsy> of the motor
[15:04:21] <archivist> the tach lines come from the motor and go to the amp as far as I know
[15:04:23] <jdh> that woudl be interesting
[15:04:35] <MacGalempsy> so I connected them to the power to motor lines
[15:04:46] <jdh> the tach lines come from the tach, which might be attached to the motor
[15:04:47] <archivist> the amp out drives the motor NOT the tach
[15:05:31] <ju-emb> magic smoke is still inside the tach?
[15:05:32] <archivist> fat wires power, thin wires tach
[15:06:26] <MacGalempsy> there is no tach leads coming from the motor
[15:06:51] <archivist> motor... how many wires
[15:07:00] <MacGalempsy> they were connected to the old mainboard
[15:08:51] <archivist> tach is an input on the amp,
[15:10:41] <MacGarage> ok i disconnected that and it moves smoothly in the pos dir onlyh

[15:12:50] <MacGarage> how do I tell if linux cnc is sending it negative voltage?
[15:13:03] <archivist> meter/scope
[15:13:16] <MacGarage> I have the meter out but not sure of the exact pin
[15:13:28] <archivist> and is negative even possible
[15:13:47] <MacGarage> some how the polarity has to switch to reverse the motor, no?
[15:14:20] <archivist> depends where the zero point is,
[15:15:04] <MacGarage> zero point?
[15:15:22] <archivist> what voltage means stationary
[15:16:32] <pcw_home> You will need the tach wired to the drive for any reasonable behaviour
[15:17:28] <archivist> does he have a tach
[15:17:31] <MacGarage> the tach are leads coming from the drive that were wired to the old controller board
[15:17:52] <pcw_home> Do the motors have Tachometers?
[15:18:20] <MacGarage> only 2 wires coming from the motors
[15:19:00] <pcw_home> only encoders on the back of motors?
[15:19:01] <MacGarage> the datasheet said to connect the tach lines to the positive and negative terminals of the motors
[15:19:24] <MacGarage> encoders are attached to the pulleys
[15:20:22] <MacGarage> perhaps I need to tune the PID first?
[15:20:25] <pcw_home> tach input to motor leads sounds wrong
[15:20:46] <MacGarage> i disconnected the tach to motor leads and the faulting stopped
[15:20:48] -!- kiw has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[15:21:16] <MacGarage> when I first thought about the tach, I thought it was just for output
[15:21:54] <pcw_home> no point in messing with linuxcnc unless you can drive the motors back and forth with a small voltage (say 1.5V battery)
[15:23:59] -!- kwallace [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[15:25:12] <pcw_home> Without tachometer feedback you are either going to have to run the motor in torque mode
[15:25:13] <pcw_home> (which will involve changing the settings on the drive) or use spare 7I77 analog outputs to
[15:25:15] <pcw_home> simulate the tachometer (assuming +-10V is enough voltage for the tach input)
[15:25:23] <MacGalempsy> is there a way to send the appropriate signal to the tachs with linuxcnc?
[15:25:41] <MacGalempsy> ok
[15:26:17] <MacGalempsy> will start reading up how to do that
[15:26:43] <pcw_home> Do you have a drive manual?
[15:27:04] <MacGalempsy> the closest one I can find is
http://www.copleycontrols.com/motion/pdf/4122.pdf
[15:27:53] <MacGalempsy> physically the drives are the same, but on this one, /POSenable will fault the drive if it is grounded
[15:28:20] <MacGalempsy> so if I leave it open or powered then the drive enables
[15:31:06] <MacGalempsy> if I was running in torque mode, would anything need to change?
[15:32:13] <MacGalempsy> the digital drive has a toggle to torque mode, i noticed that in the the settings
[15:32:42] <pcw_home> Depending on how its done, you would have to change jumpers or components
[15:33:19] <MacGalempsy> i am wondering if the machine is supposed to be run in torque mode. how would I tell?
[15:33:50] <MacGalempsy> the manual shows the way it is wired here in torque mode because there is no tach
[15:34:20] <pcw_home> If it had anything connectd to the Tach input, its probably in velocity mode
[15:34:28] <pcw_home> connected
[15:35:01] <MacGalempsy> would there be any benifit to going to torque mode?
[15:37:04] <pcw_home> torque mode: harder to tune, needs higher servo thread rate, but allows torque monitoring/limiting
[15:38:04] <pcw_home> velocity mode: easier to tune, low thread rate (with tach, high thread rate still needed with simulated tach)
[15:39:12] <pcw_home> torque mode will likel require you to change at least one component on the drive (if it like the drive in manual you linked to)
[15:39:18] <pcw_home> likely
[15:40:28] <MacGalempsy> ok. so simulating the tach signal will be the best because it requires just programming

[16:57:34] <ju-emb> hiroshima5: reading the manual of your baldor microflex tells me, that, for complex and flexible movements, you need an additional motioncontroller. In fact that's an additional hardware.

[16:58:41] <archivist> but linuxcnc is a motion controller
[16:59:42] <ju-emb> I havn't read the CAN part right now, but what I know about CAN enabled servo drives, there is a possibility to let them move with linuxcnc, whenever a aditional (maybe homemade) software is necessary.
[17:00:39] <ju-emb> archivist: sure it is, but baldor talks about baldor motion-controller not opensource motion controller

[17:57:00] <hiroshima5> i'm not pretty sure he knows it
[17:57:01] <hiroshima5> hehehehe
[17:57:24] <IchGuckLive> hiroshima5: you can get it all for less then one drive cost
[17:57:24] <hiroshima5> he want to spend the minimum money at possible
[17:57:53] <hiroshima5> i would say him than we have to use different motors
[17:58:10] <hiroshima5> but at least i would want to know if we could use them

[17:59:14] <PetefromTn> This is the last built in I finished. Nothing fancy but it did have an 11' long solid oak butcherblock countertop. There is Audio visual stuff in the lower cabinets.
[17:59:42] <PetefromTn> If you right click on them and hit view image you get the better picture at least on my screen LOL.
[17:59:44] <ju-emb> PetefromTn: congrats, looks really pretty
[17:59:46] <jdh> Pete: all by hand, or big cnc router?
[17:59:47] <hiroshima5> the fact is those motors were in boxes on shelfs. Totally unused

[18:00:17] <PetefromTn> jdh: No cnc here man I wish, I only have one CNC and that is the CIncinatti Arrow 500 VMC
[18:00:30] <IchGuckLive> this will sent you to the hevens universe CNC door
[18:00:33] <PetefromTn> ju-emb: Thanks man..
[18:00:56] <jdh> Pete: seems like a 4x8' router would do wonders for you.
[18:01:04] <ju-emb> hiroshima5: you can use that motors and drives to make your parking lot boom open and close
[18:01:14] <IchGuckLive> hir the M880a is 580Yen
[18:01:49] -!- terabyte- [[email protected]] has parted #linuxcnc
[18:02:17] <PetefromTn> jdh Yeah I agree, I actually considered selling the VMC to get a nice CNC flatbed router with vacuum table but now I am actually getting some interest in CNC machine work too so I am doing the woodworking in the shop the old fashioned way on the tablesaw and shaper etc and then do the metalworking in the evening
[18:02:28] <IchGuckLive> and a sandard BOB with a Atom D525
http://s.taobao.com/search?initiative_id=staobaoz_20131115&jc=1&q=MW525&stats_click=search_radio_all%3A1 at 420 Yen
[18:02:59] <PetefromTn> I need to find the high end kitchen pictures I did you guys would love them I think... This was a simple built in with inset doors.
[18:03:05] <jdh> Pete: surely you could just make an extrusion based router table fairly cheap (few thousand $$)
[18:03:36] -!- bedah [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[18:03:52] <PetefromTn> Oh yeah I could but I also have a room issue. With the VMC in there and the rest of my equipment It would be difficult to work if there was also a flatbed router large enough to process sheet goods.
[18:03:57] <CaptHindsight> http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1638882643/diwire-the-first-desktop-wire-bender I didn't realize that a $3K cnc wire bender would be so popular
[18:04:07] <hiroshima5> thank you ichgucklive jdh ju-emb...
[18:04:21] <IchGuckLive> hiroshima5: Thats why we are here
[18:04:37] <hiroshima5> i will tell him that we cannot use those motors!!
[18:06:53] <ju-emb> sure they have some use, but not for the plasma cutter ;-)

[19:17:15] <gonzo_> I mentioned a better technique that was still very secret, where you take a block of plastic/metal etc and cut away the bits you don't want
[19:17:34] <gonzo_> they were impressed and went off to google it

[22:14:14] <mrsun_> left? :P
[22:15:06] <ctordtor> ha, sorry if that's a weird question, I was experimenting and wanted to make sure it's going the correct way
[22:15:27] <mrsun_> well its the most logical
[22:15:48] <mrsun_> X- == left, X+ == right
[22:15:48] <mrsun_> imo
[22:16:46] <ctordtor> I think I confused myself by trying to think about the end mill looking down on the table
[22:17:30] <mrsun_> better to look how your cam software views the "table"
[22:17:53] <mrsun_> where X- is left, X+ is right, Y- is down (towards you) Y+ is up (away from you)

[23:31:32] -!- zenek has quit [Read error: Operation timed out]
[23:31:37] <Jymmm> JT_Shop: Take ONE AA (not 3 or 4 AAA's), IPX8 rated, Good beam/flood, long life per set of battery.
[23:32:20] <Jymmm> JT_Shop: Flip up the diffuser for bicycling, flip down for working under the hood, on the bbq, etc.

[23:33:49] <Jymmm> to 3 lumen
[23:34:06] <Jymmm> 50 hours at 3 lumen for one AA battery.
[23:35:26] <Jymmm> It's the ONLY ipx* rated headlamp I've seen that takes AA
[23:35:30] <Jymmm> ipx8
[23:35:36] <Tom_itx> jerks, $34.95 ... free shipping on orders over 35
[23:35:57] <MacGalempsy> lol. just order the battery that goes with it
[23:36:02] <Jymmm> Yeah, blame amazon for that crap.
[23:36:20] <Tom_itx> i bet that triggers no matter the cost of the item
[23:36:48] <MacGalempsy> well, it is on sale, so hopefully the shipping isnt more than the differnce you saved
[23:38:51] <JT_Shop> can you pivot the light up and down, that is somewhat important on a mountain bike
[23:39:06] <Tom_itx> JT_Shop did you finish your splitter?
[23:39:11] <Tom_itx> never did see the end product
[23:39:26] <JT_Shop> not yet, work has been slowing down that project
[23:39:37] <Tom_itx> that's a good thing
[23:42:23] <JT_Shop> I need to fab up the hyd tank and plumb the thing then spill some paint on it
[23:42:39] <Jymmm> Is there a paint/coating I can spray on SS,submerge in salt water and it will stay, but will come off with soap or some other simple method?
[23:43:36] <Jymmm> I want to try this
http://www.instructables.com/id/Negative-Laser-Metal-Etching/
[23:43:37] <Tom_itx> wax
[23:43:38] <MacGalempsy> unfortunately, NaSO4 and NaCl in solution are very similar affinities
[23:44:02] <MacGalempsy> yes, wax is a good one
[23:44:09] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: Dont think I can laser wax easily
[23:44:25] <Tom_itx> now you're just adding more criteria to the equasion
[23:44:32] <Tom_itx> you asked for a coating
[23:44:52] * Jymmm hugs Tom_itx
[23:45:28] <Tom_itx> dykem comes off reasonably well
[23:45:34] <Jymmm> Actually, I never tried lasering wax... Maybe I can just vaporize it.
[23:46:08] <Tom_itx> may melt around the cut somewhat
[23:46:20] <Jymmm> Eh, I cna adjust for that.
[23:46:40] <Tom_itx> vaporize it or set your house on fire
[23:47:00] <Jymmm> Tom_itx: Heh, why do you think I have a nitrogen tank for =)
[23:48:26] <Jymmm> just flood the compartment... no more flames!
[23:49:04] <Jymmm> How about something that comes off with heat (other than wax)?
[23:49:31] <Tom_itx> not sure
[23:49:59] <Jymmm> does this stuff go on thin?
http://www.grainger.com/product/DYKEM-Blue-Layout-Fluid-2C945
