[00:13:47] <CaptHindsight> andypugh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6OZXdRoogY 2014 Ford 3D Printing - Official Promo
[00:16:41] <andypugh> Ihave watched the very machines at work.
[00:17:38] <Tom_itx> anybody have hole spacing dimensions on the 7i47?
[00:17:42] <Tom_itx> it's not in the pdf
[00:17:55] <andypugh> I haven't been to the foundry, but the printer room looked like my workplace.

[00:25:41] <Jymmm> andypugh: is it all printing for lost casting ?
[00:26:01] <Jymmm> well, minus the loss part =0
[00:26:01] <andypugh> it's printing sand cores
[00:26:07] <Jymmm> ah
[00:26:10] -!- gonzo_cnc has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[00:26:17] <andypugh> They print parts too.
[00:26:18] <Jymmm> andypugh: whats the binder?
[00:26:35] <andypugh> I have driven cars where all the intake ducts were 3D-printed
[00:26:54] <andypugh> No idea what the binder is.
[00:27:07] <CaptHindsight> the binder is a monomer
[00:27:09] <andypugh> I suspect prometal won't say
[00:27:11] <Jymmm> andypugh: thermal? chemical? ultrasonic?
[00:27:15] <Jymmm> ah
[00:27:17] <CaptHindsight> thermal set
[00:28:13] <CaptHindsight> the binder is ink-jetted onto the sand layers
[00:28:30] <Jymmm> ah
[00:29:01] <CaptHindsight> spread a later of sand, inkjet the areas that you want for the mold, repeat....
[00:30:08] -!- ve7it has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[00:30:10] <Jymmm> Yeah, I want to try that with sugar in my laser. But I need to iface the Z axis via it's serial port independantly from it's XY and laser
[00:30:26] <CaptHindsight> keep it a secret
[00:30:36] <Jymmm> whys that?
[00:31:46] <CaptHindsight> kidding, things like this tend to be either trade secrets or obscure patents
[00:31:46] <Jymmm> CaptHindsight: whys that?
[00:31:50] <Jymmm> ah
[00:32:37] <Jymmm> Well, I send jobs to the laser via it's paraport, but To control the Z requres it's serial port and I'm not sure how to mix and match them commands wise
[00:32:53] <CaptHindsight> Candyfab used a hot air nozzle
[00:33:12] <CaptHindsight> http://candyfab.org/
[00:33:23] <Jymmm> Eh, I can just fuse the sugar with the laser itself
[00:33:59] <CaptHindsight> sweet sls :)
[00:34:50] <andypugh> Well, what a waste of a day. I have now spent 14 hours installing kernels, compiling LinuxCNC versions and reconfiguring, and I am now only a few hours short of having the same nearly-working system that I started with
[00:35:07] <Jymmm> andypugh: Congrats?
[00:35:21] <Jymmm> andypugh: You have come full circle grasshopper!
[00:35:25] <CaptHindsight> or maybe selective laser sintering of saccharides = SLSS
[00:36:14] <Jymmm> CaptHindsight: I was thinking just various stages of carmel for translucent/obaquiec and color variances
[00:36:45] <andypugh> Selective Laser Using Toffee (SLUT)
[00:36:54] <Jymmm> HAHAHAHAHA
[00:36:58] <Jymmm> andypugh++
[00:39:06] <CaptHindsight> http://the-sugar-lab.com/
[00:40:47] <CaptHindsight> they use sugar + inkjet for binder and color

[00:41:08] <Jymmm> Whole Handicrafts Optically Rendered Edible Sugars
[00:42:07] <andypugh> That's my retirement plan, have an idea and get myself bought out by 3D Systems
[00:42:19] -!- cmorley has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[00:43:10] <CaptHindsight> printed gummy bears
[00:43:21] <andypugh> I have a 3D-printed V8 engine on my desk made from corn starch.
[00:44:01] <Jymmm> andypugh: does IT use a binder?
[00:44:10] <andypugh> In theory it would make a decent core for a lost-wax casing, to make a 273cc V8.
[00:44:35] <andypugh> Yes, it seems to be bound by a green liquid.
[00:44:39] <Jymmm> starch is a sugar, so it should therma bond, yes?
[00:45:26] <CaptHindsight> it works on pressed shirts
[00:45:30] <Jymmm> Fuck it, brb.... grabs box of corn starch and the torch!

[00:50:04] <NickParker> andypugh: where.. where did you find that?
[00:50:35] <Jymmm> Well, it sorta worked. uploading videos now
[00:50:42] <andypugh> I already knew that there had been a custard explosion at the Birds plant. Then I googled and found that.
[00:51:35] <andypugh> We deliberately caused a custard powder explosion in Chemistry at school. It was grate
[00:51:47] <CaptHindsight> things looked different back then

[00:57:27] <Jymmm> If I take something ike this, Can I turn it into an accurate thrmometer like wiht an arduino? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Standard-TS172T-Engine-Coolant-Temperature-Sender-/200999023241?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A1988|Model%3ACivic&hash=item2ecc79b289&vxp=mtr
[00:58:55] <Jymmm> 1st http://v5.tinypic.com/player.swf?file=ftnfbb
[01:00:41] -!- mozmck has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[01:01:50] <andypugh> Jymmm: Probably.
[01:01:55] <CaptHindsight> depends on what you mean by accurate
[01:02:24] <andypugh> I would guess that it changes resistance. A bridge circuit might help
[01:02:36] <Jymmm> 2nd http://v5.tinypic.com/player.swf?file=hvattl
[01:05:08] <Jymmm> andypugh: Yes, resistive. a bridge??? as I understand it: -20c ~= 15000-18000 ohms, 20c ~= 1000-4000 ohms, 80c ~= 200-400 ohms
[01:05:41] <CaptHindsight> Jymmm: what temp range do you need?
[01:06:12] <andypugh> The Wheatstone bridge is a neat way to convert the change in resistance of one or more resistive elements into a voltage that varies from zero to (not zero)
[01:06:12] <Jymmm> CaptHindsight: 40F to 300F
[01:07:02] <Jymmm> CaptHindsight: Maybe a lil higher for fudge factor
[01:07:31] <Jymmm> andypugh: I'll check it it.
[01:07:59] <Jymmm> I'd like an accuracy of one degree
[01:08:05] <andypugh> So, you set up 4 resistors in a square (typically two of them are part of a potentiometer) and then you can zero the output voltage. Then any change in resistance of one of the other legs changes the output voltage. It's very useful because it is much easier to amplify 0-100mV then 10.000 to 10.100V

[01:10:59] -!- futurisk_ has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[01:11:04] <andypugh> it is very common to set up that circuit where all 4 elements are strain gauges (typically with parallel nulling resistors on 2 legs)
[01:12:30] <andypugh> If you arrange it so that opposite pairs are compession and tension, then you automatically get compensation for itemperature variation both in the gauges and the material of the load cell.
[01:13:21] <andypugh> It is pretty easay to make a 1um resolution measurement device that way, using a bit of bent clock-spring and $10 of strain gauges,

[01:21:07] <CaptHindsight> -12C and it's not even winter yet
[01:21:44] <andypugh> I am scheduled to spend 2 weeks in Saut St Marie in early February
[01:24:09] -!- Nekosan [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[01:24:28] <andypugh> (Sault St Marie, when I check)
[01:24:37] <CaptHindsight> thats not far from Frostbite Falls
[01:25:02] <andypugh> The original plan was Thompson, Manitoba.
[01:25:50] <andypugh> But we figured that the cars would have to be put in the fridges to keep them warm enough to start in Thompson.
[01:26:01] <CaptHindsight> yeah
[01:27:00] <CaptHindsight> we still had 30C+ days here 2 months ago
[01:28:03] <andypugh> Looks like Thompson is actually going to warm up a lot in the next week or so: http://www.accuweather.com/en/ca/thompson/r8n/december-weather/49000
[01:28:14] <CaptHindsight> heading back to south China soon anyway, 5-20C depending on how to the coast
[01:28:32] <CaptHindsight> how close
[01:28:43] <andypugh> It was snowing in Qingdao when I left (March)
[01:29:02] <CaptHindsight> yes, up north
[01:29:36] <CaptHindsight> it's like the midwest US, still piles of snow and then 20C
[01:29:48] <CaptHindsight> no real spring or fall
[01:30:08] <andypugh> yes, I suppose it is. For some reason I was equating "being on a south-facing coast" with being in the south.
[01:31:28] <CaptHindsight> wouldn't Greenland be a shorter trip?
[01:32:37] <andypugh> The cars are being made Just In Time in Detroit
[01:32:55] <andypugh> Normally we use Rovaniemi in Finland.
[01:33:48] <andypugh> I actually quite like Rovaniemi. Friendly locals, and after 10 years of annual trips, I know my way around.
[01:34:20] <andypugh> Thompson was described by a colleague as "A town of miners and stripppers and not a lot else"
[01:34:57] <CaptHindsight> sounds about ( A-Boot) right
[01:36:42] <CaptHindsight> do you test them for cold weather behavior?
[01:37:09] <andypugh> Yes, exactly.

[01:38:01] -!- futurisk_ [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[01:38:15] <andypugh> We check that they actually start, and we check that they run properly when the intake air is very cold, and that the heaters work. We also accidentally test that the door handles don't become very brittle (they did, one year)

[05:09:01] <jesseg> I'm trying to figure out why LinuxCNC is moving the A axis (LINEAR, INCH) an inch when the gcode file is in MM. XY and Z all move correctly

[05:23:25] <Tom_itx> TYPE = ANGULAR

[05:24:18] <jesseg> Oh
[05:24:39] -!- tjtr33 [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[05:24:40] <jesseg> Does Slic3r put out degrees for the extruder (A)?
[05:24:50] <Tom_itx> no clue
[05:25:01] <jesseg> Because we put the extruder to linear, and calibrated it that way in LinuxCNC
[05:25:06] <jesseg> I will go ask that in #slic3r
[05:26:48] <Tom_itx> then you would also want to make sure your SCALE is correct
[05:27:51] <jesseg> Well, within LinuxCNC scale IS correct. Checked that by jogging an inch in 0.1 inch steps, and measuring the distance moved on filament
[05:28:55] <jesseg> Actually, checked it by jogging 10 inches :P

[05:36:39] -!- tronwizard has quit []
[05:38:24] <jesseg> You know, I think it's a bug in LinuxCNC - only question is it a jesse bug or a LinuxCNC bug :P
[05:38:53] <jesseg> It's like LinuxCNC is forgetting to convert mm to inches for the A axis -- but not for XYZ as they work fine
[05:41:01] <tjtr33> does it seem like A is considered to have rotary units? ( therefore no conversion )
[05:41:41] <jesseg> Slic3r which is producing the Gcode files puts out all mm on all axis. There is no question about that. And that's what it should be doing.
[05:42:18] <jesseg> However, this line: "G0 Z0.400 F12000.000 A-3.00000" is causing the filament axis to move 3 inches.
[05:42:36] -!- Felix29 has quit []
[05:43:27] <jesseg> Even though LINEAR_UNITS = inch, and [AXIS_3] \n TYPE = LINEAR
[05:44:23] <jesseg> Hmmm.
[05:44:41] <jesseg> There is scaling applied from some config other than my-mill.ini.
[05:45:01] <jesseg> For example, my encoder motors have 1000 counts per turn (Using third party step and dir driver boards with PID built in.)
[05:45:17] <jesseg> And my feed screws have 20 threads to the inch.. So my resolution is 20,000 on XYZ
[05:45:41] <jesseg> And yet, in the my-mill.ini file, for axes 0-2 inclusive, SCALE = 1000
[05:46:03] <jesseg> oh wait.
[05:46:21] <jesseg> maybe I set up the S/D board to do 20 counts internally for each step. Yeah, I think I did.
[05:46:30] <jesseg> never mind that..
[05:47:17] <jesseg> so back to the question of why is LinuxCNC taking "3.0" as 3 inches instead of 3mm, even after "G21 ; set units to millimeters"
[05:48:25] <jesseg> XYZ are all same scale, and are set to 20x in motor controller board. Axis A is set to 1:1 in motor driver board, and is calibrated correctly to move the filament one inch per one inch jogged.
[05:48:59] -!- lyzidiamond has quit [Quit: lyzidiamond]
[05:49:01] <tjtr33> integrators manual sez "Angular axes like rotary tables are referred to as A, B, and C. Additional linear axes relative to the tool are called U, V, and W respectively."
[05:49:02] <tjtr33> i know its nuts, but maybe linuxcnc is stubbornly considering your A as a rotary, can you try calling it U?
[05:49:50] <jesseg> Ahhhh.. Interesting.
[05:49:52] <tjtr33> if linuxcnc thinks its rotary it wont scale at all, leaving 3 mumbles = 3 mumbles.
[05:50:22] <tjtr33> a short program and a global replace in a text editor could check it out
[05:51:10] <jesseg> Well, LinuxCNC *does* map A to AXIS_3 alright. But you're saying in the GCode file, it might also map U to AXIS_3 ?
[05:51:35] <jesseg> What if I had a fourth linear and an angular...? haha weird
[05:52:08] <jesseg> Hmm. I do have "COORDINATES = X Y Z A"
[05:52:33] <jesseg> Maybe I need X Y Z U, then change Slic3r to send it as U and not A
[05:55:06] <jesseg> Thanks, tjtr33! At least I have something to try now that even sort of makes sense!!
[05:55:52] <tjtr33> plz look at the supplied gantry config, its 4 linear axis, where Y & A are colinear (emphasis on linear )
[05:56:30] <tjtr33> it uses XYZA where Y&A are parallel and linear
[05:57:26] <jesseg> Oh, so a Can be linear, if it's bonded to another regular linux?
[05:58:44] <tjtr33> again, you gotta read these docs , i see the xmpl uses 'gantrykins' so doesnt directly apply. your problem HAS been handled by linuxcnc, i'm not finding the correct files yet
[05:59:01] <jesseg> ahh
[06:02:10] <jesseg> I think using "U" is a great thing to try
[06:02:15] <tjtr33> some old memory sez you need XYZA and axis_0,1,2,6 not axis_3 , like the baddie is not the letter A, but the use of axis_3.
[06:02:40] <jesseg> Ahhhh...? OK I can try that too.

[06:06:15] <tjtr33> jesseg read up on http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/21-axis/6981-explicit-settings-for-4-axis-xyuv-please
[06:06:28] <tjtr33> its only similar, but maybe useful

[06:10:36] <jesseg> You know what, I think it's easier to just set up LinuxCNC in mm instead of inches.
[06:10:49] <jesseg> That way it won't matter :P
[06:12:28] <jesseg> I didn't realize it was a can of worms. I've saved all my notes in case switching to MM doesn't work.
[06:12:31] -!- cmorley has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
[06:12:41] <jesseg> But for now I think I shall just try that. Thanks again!
[06:13:32] <tjtr33> the last url solves your problem, i dont the prob is mm vs inch, the prob ( i think ) is rot vs linear, and linear gotta be xyzuvw never abc ( i think )
[06:13:53] <tjtr33> best o luck!
[06:15:18] <jesseg> I think you are absolutely right.
[06:16:02] -!- tronwizard [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[06:17:14] <jesseg> But.. if Slic3r is putting out mm, and I set LinuxCNC to mm, then when slic3r says A1.0, LinuxCNC will move A 1.0 MM since that is the unit. (Remember, LinuxCNC DOES let me calibrate the A axis to correctly "function" as an inch linear, and I think it was pretty close considering the steps/turn and gear reduction and drive wheel diameter.)
[06:17:24] -!- The_Ball [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[06:18:49] <RyanS> do cnc lathes usually vary the RPM during a cut even with small variations in part diameter?
[06:20:12] <WalterN_bed> normally its a good idea to keep the surface feet per minute the same
[06:21:04] <tjtr33> jesseg change that statement to " LinuxCNC DOES let me _lie_ " its not science when you force the result ;P it just looks correct.
[06:21:20] <jesseg> LOL exactly
[06:22:18] <jesseg> Maybe some day I'll have time to figure out how to set up 7 axis across multiple config files and do it RIGHT. But if a simple hack makes it work perfectly for now, then I'm all set.
[06:23:28] <RyanS> You should only change rpm with 'large' changes in part diameter?
[06:23:57] <jesseg> But what's strange is that in part, LinuxCNC *is* treating A/AXIS_3 as linear. I can take the diameter of the drive wheel, and steps per turn on motor, and gear ratio, and calculate a scale using the math for a linear axis, and it's close.. Maybe it's coincidence since the drive wheel is about 1 pi circumference :P
[06:30:55] <tjtr33> i betcha the last url will fix your prob. if it does say thx to andypugh & BigJohnT. g'nite

[17:32:33] <Tom_itx> does it create a leadin?
[17:33:40] <JT-Shop> yes, the XY start is the place to Z down so you don't plunge into the material, if you leave it blank it puts the tool 1/2 the diameter off of the material
[17:34:13] <Tom_itx> so it will almost touch the edge of the material?
[17:35:06] <JT-Shop> unless you tell it where you want it to z down
[17:35:28] <Tom_itx> ok, what's the reference ones for?
[17:35:59] <JT-Shop> if the corner is not X0 Y0 you can tell it what they are
[17:36:50] <Tom_itx> overrides the diagram?
[17:38:19] <JT-Shop> I guess you could say that, say for example you have one part at X0 Y0 and one at X10 Y0 for two vises etc.

[18:01:23] <JT-Shop> other than that what do you think?
[18:01:29] -!- gundamlh [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[18:01:55] <atom1> should do most facing ops, i might add a final pass
[18:03:08] <JT-Shop> ok, that would just be another call to the path generator
[18:03:11] <atom1> does it go past the material a bit?
[18:03:36] <atom1> like on zigzag if you program the material size there will be a corner left where the tool didn't get
[18:03:38] <JT-Shop> if you use 75% then the first pass is 25% overhang
[18:04:43] <atom1> you could make a default percent there
[18:05:04] -!- johannes__ has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[18:05:12] <JT-Shop> for final pass?
[18:05:21] <atom1> no, in general
[18:05:28] <atom1> fro the step over %
[18:05:43] <JT-Shop> yes, default is 75% if left blank
[18:05:53] <atom1> on the final pass i'd just subtract it from the original depth
[18:06:13] <atom1> not necessarily a percent
[18:06:34] <atom1> and if it's left blank, just ignore it
[18:06:45] <JT-Shop> yep, I'll add a place to spell out final pass if wanted
[18:06:50] <JT-Shop> be back in a bit
[18:06:57] <JT-Shop> thanks for looking at it

[20:11:51] <andypugh> Tilt/shift processing makes tha Andromeda Galaxy look tiny :-)
[20:14:38] <archivist> pyvcp spinbox seems to have a bug
[20:15:36] <archivist> you can type a number but its not sensed, if you then hit up/down arrow the number you typed is used for the inc and then it is sensed
[20:16:40] <archivist> may get left as a "feature"
[20:17:36] <andypugh> There is a patch for that
[20:18:14] <andypugh> but I think it is a feature to discourage using them. (It's a pretty poor feature, and not very discouraging)
[20:18:38] <archivist> heh
[20:18:46] <andypugh> The reason to deprecate spinboxes is that they grab all input.
[20:19:26] <andypugh> (I need to work on my GladeVCP tabs where the whole tab grabs all input, that's _really_ annoying)
[20:19:42] <archivist> I think I have this thing working as user wants, except the use of a stepper means going through resonance
[20:20:19] <archivist> and his original has serious resonance problems too
[20:22:17] <archivist> with a parallel port it can get to a spindle speed of about 350 rpm and spin the stepper (half step) fast enough to cut a 10 tooth gear through a 20-1 gearbox
[20:23:16] <andypugh> Sounds more than adequate

[20:37:00] <micges> andypugh: should work via good router

[20:37:57] <andypugh> board_name comes up as a blank. (I put a print statement in the driver :-)
[20:38:18] <andypugh> I am wondering if the MAC or IP are wrong.
[20:38:20] <micges> andypugh: use mesaflash to locate board first
[20:38:26] <skunkworks> When I had it hooked up - I could ping it
[20:38:45] <andypugh> micges: I had forgotten that mesaflash was that clever :-)
[20:38:46] <skunkworks> before initallizing the rtnet - after I could ping it using rtping or whatever
[20:40:30] <micges> andypugh: fastest will be set jumpers on 7i80 to hardware address (192.168.1.121) and reboot 7i80
[20:40:51] <micges> then make sure your pc has 192.168.1.1
[20:40:55] <micges> and ping should work
[20:41:24] <andypugh> I wasn't aware that I had to give the PC a fixed IP.
[20:41:54] <andypugh> (also, my router won't allocate IPs outside 192.168.0.X
[20:43:27] <pcw_home> You can add an IPV4 alias to your Ethernet config
[20:44:22] <micges> andypugh: you should use 7i80 directly
[20:45:02] <andypugh> But the PC still gets an IP in the wrong range?

[22:58:47] <andypugh> It's very odd. halcmd: loadrt lcd fmt_strings="Hello"
[22:58:47] <andypugh> <stdin>:1: /home/andypugh/git/linuxcnc-dev/libexec/rtapi_app_rt-preempt exited without becoming ready
[22:58:48] <andypugh> <stdin>:1: insmod failed, returned -1
[22:58:49] <andypugh> See the log and output of 'dmesg' for more information.
[22:59:04] <micges> what is in log?
[22:59:09] <andypugh> But there are no errors printed anywhere I have found
[22:59:14] <micges> /var/log/linuxcnc.log
[22:59:23] <andypugh> Yes, I am tailing that. Nothing.
[22:59:29] <micges> dmesg?
[22:59:45] <andypugh> Nothing
[22:59:57] <micges> hmm

[23:00:32] <andypugh> I did make changes to lcd, but they don't seem to have been merged into ubc3
[23:01:11] <andypugh> http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=linuxcnc.git;a=commit;h=24dc2a2306bac45f04566cf992a9e5653562896c
[23:01:29] <andypugh> It is just possible that that already fixes the problem
[23:06:32] <andypugh> The warning appears to be about the "abs" function, which I thought was in rtapi_math.h

[23:07:32] <andypugh> The problem is probably actually with " #ifdef SIM " which will not catch the userspace realtime case.
