[00:15:20] <Tom_itx> bikes don't belong in pickups.
[00:15:43] <JT-Shop> I can see none of those had any redneck in them or they would know how to load into a truck
[00:15:49] <andypugh> Those bikes seem to agree.
[00:16:16] <Tom_itx> our moving ramp has a hole in it with a pin to match the hole in the tailgate
[00:16:22] <andypugh> The Custard is the one that surprises me, I doubt that has ever gone anywhere _except_ on the back of a truck.
[00:17:03] <JT-Shop> I brought a Suzuki 350 from North Carolina to Mississippi with the front wheel straped into the trunk of my Chevy Nova with no problems.

[00:42:48] <andypugh> It does, slightly, but that might be a good thing as you want to wiggle between the strands, not cut them.

[00:47:54] <andypugh> After
[00:47:58] <Jymmm> lol
[00:48:21] <Jymmm> Isaw those, but They seem to big to get into harnesses sometimes
[00:49:30] <andypugh> That style is specifically for that, the wedge end is meant to be pushed into the harness, then you open the gap to let the correct wire drop in.
[00:49:47] <Jymmm> which?
[00:50:05] <Jymmm> yours or mine?

[00:56:50] <Jymmm> These work with some effort, but they're not nearly as good as the Pomona Electronics (POM6405) Insulation Piercing Clips. They're thinner, but they don't pierce insulation as well, or as reliably, and often require manual pressure to maintain contact.

[01:06:03] <MacGalempsy_> the dro
[01:06:25] <andypugh> You need to define the home switch inputs and the search and latch velocities.

[06:37:05] <jesseg> I can't believe it... heekscad actually compiled on slackware 13.37 with only 1 dirty hack and two soft hacks!!
[06:52:11] <jesseg> Of course it's crashy/
[06:57:36] <ju-emb> long time ago (1 year or so) I tried to compile it too, but it was a PITA, and it didn't run stable on ..ix based systems.
[06:57:38] <ju-emb> Now I'm using Freecad, blender and blendercam
[06:58:10] <jesseg> How's freecad?
[06:58:30] <jesseg> I guess if freecad or blender were great for the task you wouldn't be using them both ;)
[06:58:35] <ju-emb> suffi for the things I'm doing
[06:59:47] <ju-emb> I switched to freecad after heeks got out of the way, so I became used to it
[07:00:12] <ju-emb> FreeCad is more CAD like, blender more modeling like
[07:00:19] <jesseg> Does freecad provide what you need to draw up a part and then produce gcodes?
[07:00:50] <jesseg> I wonder if I can get freecad to compile in slackware
[07:01:12] <ju-emb> Freecad doesn't have cam yet
[07:01:38] -!- mrsun_ has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[07:01:41] <ju-emb> If you compile heeks on slackware, freecad shouldn't be a problem
[07:01:41] <jesseg> Ahh.. I've heard of openscad - but that may have a purely text command based inputmode
[07:02:20] <ju-emb> that's more programming than construction
[07:02:21] <jesseg> But freecad won't do me any good if I can't produce gcode files, right? or is there a third party path for that?

[07:03:30] <jesseg> mash's?
[07:03:38] <jesseg> not familier with those
[07:03:42] <ju-emb> latest version of blender has defined units
[07:03:51] <ju-emb> sorry mesh's
[07:04:00] <jesseg> Oh, those I've heard o
[07:04:01] <jesseg> f
[07:04:22] <jesseg> so does LinuxCNC import said meshes, then?
[07:04:29] <ju-emb> .stl is a mesh format
[07:04:42] <jesseg> right
[07:05:04] <jesseg> so then I'd still need a program to convert the mesh to the gcode for LinuxCNC

[07:05:49] <ju-emb> Let me tell you the entire story:
[07:06:04] <jesseg> *listens*
[07:06:08] -!- Thetawaves [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[07:06:23] <ju-emb> Blender noe has units, so you can do a modelling on blender and blendercam does g-code
[07:06:53] <jesseg> cool
[07:07:40] <ju-emb> freecad is better for construction, so if you do sketch's modify them with constraints and form 3D
[07:07:56] <ju-emb> all that works in blender now
[07:08:24] -!- KimK_1 [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[07:08:38] <ju-emb> so lately I used more blender than freecad
[07:08:45] <jesseg> interesting
[07:09:13] <ju-emb> only if I have some work done in freecad and like to modify them I use freecad
[07:09:36] <ju-emb> new stuff I try to do complete in blender
[07:09:57] <jesseg> I see
[07:10:03] <ju-emb> Blender doesn't work if you need 2D prints
[07:10:51] <ju-emb> but convert your pieces in g-code and feed it into lcnc works great
[07:12:06] <ju-emb> and if you know a bit of Python, you can tweek blender to optimize your g-code
[07:12:13] <jesseg> yeah anything can be used to make 2d prints
[07:12:35] <jesseg> a "bit" is about all I know of pythong :P
[07:12:39] <ju-emb> anything but blender
[07:12:45] <jesseg> yeah
[07:13:19] <ju-emb> I'm just learning it and there are always fights and screams at night
[07:13:36] <ju-emb> Python is like Woman
[07:14:12] <ju-emb> a lot of beauty words but really hard to understand
[07:14:27] <jesseg> LOL yeah
[07:14:32] <ju-emb> most you only guess

[07:15:33] <jesseg> 99% of my python experience was used in writing a statemachine for logging data and sending via cellular modem on an embedded cell modem module.. and because the built in cpu had so little memory, they stripped out floating point support from the python :P
[07:16:49] <ju-emb> there is no alternative to a compiler
[07:17:16] <Jymmm> ASM FTW
[07:17:36] <ju-emb> the compiler you can tell what you want and he just does it
[07:18:06] <ju-emb> a interpreter you are in hands of the guys who wrote it
[07:19:30] <jesseg> Woah!! I just downloaded blender (precompiled binary) and ran it on Slackware..
[07:19:32] <jesseg> and it ran..!!
[07:19:49] <ju-emb> congrat's
[07:19:57] <jesseg> Of course I don't know how to use it, but I know someone who does amazing things with it
[07:20:09] <ju-emb> search for blendercam
[07:20:09] <jesseg> is blendercam a different project from another site?
[07:20:11] <jesseg> ok
[07:20:42] <ju-emb> it's a plugin to blender, but you can get it as complete binary
[07:22:08] <ju-emb> first you can do easy is, take a cube, subtract a cylinder out of the middle and pass it to cam
[07:23:12] <ju-emb> the basic blender tutorial should give you an idea, and will cost you 1/2 hour or so
[07:23:40] <jesseg> yeah
[07:23:50] <ju-emb> if you are familiar with 3D design ideas it's easy
[07:24:05] <jesseg> I guess starting cold with no experience on anything, blender's probably as good as one to invest time in learning
[07:24:34] <jesseg> I'm familiar with 3D objects... not familiar with any method of inputing those into the computer :P
[07:24:48] <ju-emb> that's what I think now about blender
[07:25:41] <ju-emb> but you shouldn't focus on curves, there you'll not find the right mill bit's for it
[07:26:11] <ju-emb> that was related to the 3d objects
[07:27:39] <ju-emb> long time I ignored blender, because my idea was, that it is for games or animations
[07:28:04] <ju-emb> now I know that it is good for more useful things too
[07:28:47] <jesseg> yeah
[07:29:11] <ju-emb> did you find blendercam?
[07:29:25] <jesseg> Found t his:
http://blendercam.blogspot.com/p/download-and-installation.html
[07:29:55] <ju-emb> that's all you need
[07:31:14] <ju-emb> BTW blendercam has 3Axis LCNC machines predefined
[07:32:10] <jesseg> coool
[07:32:11] <ju-emb> and the animation feature you can use to simulate your cut's
[07:32:43] <jesseg> wow blendercam is big.. oh.. is that blender precompiled with it?
[07:34:19] <ju-emb> yes, it's a complete blender with the CAM plugin
[07:34:30] <jesseg> What's a measly 100mbytes
[07:34:49] <ju-emb> you should install it in another folder than the blender
[07:35:13] <ju-emb> so you can use both independent
[07:35:20] <jesseg> yeah
[07:35:35] <jesseg> it's a couple minor versions older than the plain blender I got
[07:35:56] <jesseg> eh, one minor version older :P
[07:36:30] <jesseg> Ahh, this is layed out a tad different
[07:36:40] <ju-emb> but it' hase units , that's the important part
[07:36:56] <ju-emb> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No4XrqG0HaM
[07:38:51] <jesseg> watching video
[07:39:34] <jesseg> So do you design and then render to gcode in blendercam, or do you design in plain blender, then load up the file in blendercam
[07:40:17] <ju-emb> depends on what I'm doing
[07:40:34] <ju-emb> for 3d print I make all in blender
[07:41:20] <jesseg> instead of blendercam?
[07:41:23] <ju-emb> for machine parts I have lot of parts done in freecad, so I do an import
[07:41:30] <jesseg> oh I see
[07:41:43] <jesseg> Oh, so you can import meshes from freecad into blendercam?
[07:41:59] <ju-emb> yes, that's the big deal
[07:42:25] <jesseg> But I guess my question is whether blendercam is missing the object creation functionality of the vanila blender
[07:43:06] <ju-emb> no, it's just changing the perspective or how it is called in blender
[07:43:14] <ju-emb> let me see
[07:43:51] -!- geografa has quit [Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.]
[07:44:06] <ju-emb> it's all there
[07:44:29] <ju-emb> Menu add
[07:44:41] <ju-emb> then a cube or so
[07:45:01] <jesseg> K let me try that
[07:45:13] <ju-emb> then face mode and change
[07:45:19] <ju-emb> the size
[07:46:36] <jesseg> What is "face mode?"
[07:46:46] * jesseg brand new to blender & doesn't see "face mode"
[07:47:52] <ju-emb> it's actually called "edit mode" and then you have choices of object, vertex, or faces
[07:47:57] <Jymmm> jesseg: Try #blender
[07:48:03] <jesseg> oh good idea:P
[07:48:09] <jesseg> ju-emb, is
http://sourceforge.net/projects/free-cad/ the freecad you're talking abuot?
[07:48:33] <jesseg> will the folks in #blender laugh at me for using blendercam? :P
[07:48:35] <ju-emb> yes. that's it
[07:49:18] <ju-emb> It's Open source, so nothing to laugh
[07:49:29] <ju-emb> but they will not understand CAM
[07:49:41] <jesseg> exactly :P
[07:50:11] <ju-emb> so it's a good idea to have installed both versions
[07:50:16] <jesseg> yeah
[07:50:18] <jesseg> I do have
[07:50:25] <ju-emb> me to

[07:51:16] -!- gambakufu [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[07:52:08] <ju-emb> once you learned to go with blender making some objects you come back to blendercam and do the CAM
[07:52:25] <ju-emb> later you can do all in blendercam
[07:52:38] <jesseg> oh cool that's what I was hoping for
[07:54:27] <jesseg> Hmm. My little xyz axes indicator is gone.
[07:55:07] <ju-emb> ther is a little symbol to click to get it back
[07:55:31] <jesseg> Well, I see the one in bottom left of screen.. But I can't find the one that lets me move the cube
[07:55:49] <jesseg> but as Jymmm suggested, maybe I shouldn't be spamming this channel off topic;)
[07:55:51] <ju-emb> you should know that all in blender are objects, that little xyz is one of them
[07:56:21] <ju-emb> you have to go to object mode
[07:57:41] <ju-emb> object mode to move the cube
[07:57:43] <ju-emb> edit mode to change the proportions
[07:58:05] <jesseg> Ahh
[07:59:04] <ju-emb> right click on the face or vertex, then move the arrow
[07:59:22] <ju-emb> in edit mode
[08:00:37] -!- sodamodo has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
[08:00:58] <jesseg> I'm not seeing any arrow in blendercam
[08:01:04] <jesseg> had no problem in blender
[08:01:41] <ju-emb> let's do it together from scratch
[08:02:00] <ju-emb> change to object mode
[08:02:24] <jesseg> Okay. (other topic - I tried freecad. It has a bunch of dependancies that I don't feel up to fixing tonight :) I give up on it for now..)
[08:02:26] <ju-emb> press x and select delete
[08:02:33] <jesseg> hold on let me close and start fresh on blendercam
[08:03:08] <jesseg> OK. Fresh Blender 2.68a, blendercam running.
[08:03:27] <jesseg> Done.
[08:03:35] <jesseg> But there wasn't anything to delete that I could see.
[08:03:39] <ju-emb> so you are better than I 2.67
[08:04:04] <ju-emb> that's right, blendercam starts with no objects
[08:04:20] <ju-emb> click menu add mesh cube
[08:04:36] <jesseg> done
[08:04:50] <ju-emb> with arrows right?
[08:04:56] <jesseg> oh, now I see the RGB arrows in the middle of the screen AND tinier in the bottom left..!
[08:05:10] <ju-emb> that's it
[08:05:12] <jesseg> I must have messed something up before..
[08:05:41] <ju-emb> clicking on the arrows in the middle moves the cube around
[08:05:55] <jesseg> yeah! cool! I was doing that in blender vanila
[08:06:08] <ju-emb> so change to edit mode
[08:06:13] <jesseg> right-click+drag also moves it in two axis at a time
[08:07:47] <jesseg> okay I get it. cool
[08:07:57] <jesseg> Thanks very much for all your help!
[08:08:17] <ju-emb> that's what we are here for
[08:08:41] <jesseg> So is it hard importing from freecad to blendercam?
[08:08:58] <ju-emb> absolute not
[08:09:03] <jesseg> okay cool
[08:09:18] <ju-emb> in freecad you export .stl
[08:09:40] <ju-emb> in blender you say import mesh
[08:09:45] <jesseg> cooool
[08:09:50] <jesseg> I have so much to learn!
[08:10:02] <jesseg> But.. it's past my bedtime.
[08:10:05] <ju-emb> all we have
[08:10:35] <ju-emb> so dream of freecad and blendercam

[12:43:15] <jthornton> you guys snowed in?
[12:43:28] <mseidl> 8 degrees here(c)
[12:43:43] <skunkworks> no - only aboyt 4 inches here over the last few days
[12:44:20] <jthornton> we got 18" Friday on top of 1/2" if sleet so nothing much moved
[12:44:35] <skunkworks> Wow!
[12:44:48] <skunkworks> north of us got those amounts
[12:44:49] <mseidl> I was looking at converting a vertical mill to cnc, but all the cheap ones have really crappy working areas
[12:45:09] <skunkworks> mseidl, look for a cnc with a dead control...
[12:45:11] <jthornton> roads will clear today with sunny skies and 37F
[12:45:20] <mseidl> skunkworks: what do you mean dead control?
[12:46:05] <skunkworks> to convert to linuxcnc. That way you have decent ballscrews/servo setup..
[12:46:14] <mseidl> ok,
[12:46:25] <skunkworks> maybe even a tool changer
[12:46:36] <skunkworks> coolant control...
[12:46:51] <jthornton> I converted my BP knee mill that had a 3 axis Anilam CNC conversion on it to LinuxCNC
[12:46:55] <skunkworks> and you can usually get them for not much more than a manual machine
[12:48:12] <mseidl> what would be the minimum machine require to mill titanium :)
[12:48:15] <jthornton> saves a ton of money to start with a CNC mill than trying to convert a manual mill
[12:48:22] <mseidl> skunkworks: how much are you taking here?
[12:48:47] <jthornton> what size parts?
[12:50:15] <mseidl> hummm, in titanium?
[12:51:03] <mseidl> ideally my machine working size would be about 30x36x15cm
[12:51:12] <mseidl> i dont think I would make titanium parts that big

[15:29:08] <skunkworks> The guy was scared away from linuxcnc because of the comments about it being slow. Poor guy
[15:31:16] <cradek> is that a really fast machine?
[15:33:45] <archivist> the comment "Another reason for me to keep Camsoft is the fact that it has 5 axis machining right out of the box. And I guess it will be a long time until that is "plug_and_play" in LinuxCNC? "

[16:26:16] <mozmck> It's not hard to put the .iso image on a usb thumbdrive, and it installs *much* faster from there as well.
[16:26:39] <archivist> you should be putting the code in on toggle switches like we used to do in the olden days
[16:27:38] <mozmck> Running from a usb stick also has the advantage of allowing you to save your settings, documents etc on the thumbdrive. You can run from the thumbdrive just like it was a hard drive except it is slower.
[16:28:33] <CaptHindsight> mozmck: yeah, not a problem with Linux, I was just thinking about win7 installs over win8
[16:29:10] <mozmck> Oh, I don't use those. XP is the latest I have and it is running under virtualbox on my linux host.

[16:30:45] <archivist> these days it comes on the hard disk in a partition
[16:31:29] <mozmck> Yes, and if the HD crashes you're supposed to buy a new laptop.
[16:32:43] <CaptHindsight> well it's not M$'s time or $ that gets wasted
[16:32:52] <mozmck> found a terminal called finalterm that looks promising.
[16:33:24] <archivist> large companies have a terrible attitude to the customers purse
[16:34:16] <CaptHindsight> it's really evil genius, have no real security, malware or virus protection and when your PC slows down it must be worn out so buy a new one

[17:16:30] <Tom_itx> no reason it shouldn't
[17:17:42] <Tom_itx> i didn't get a chance to look at the updates you did yet
[17:17:55] <JT-Shop> it's been one thing after another trying to get the LinuxCNC desktop computer back up
[17:18:19] <JT-Shop> there might be another one since you downloaded
[17:19:16] <Tom_itx> does the finish pass add to the final depth or subtract from it?
[17:19:28] <Tom_itx> you should indicate that somehow
[17:20:02] <JT-Shop> the finish pass is at final depth
[17:20:37] <JT-Shop> for example if you have a total z of .250 and steps of .1 and final of .05 then there will be 3 passes
[17:20:50] <Tom_itx> right but what if i give it a z depth of .500 and a finish of .020?
[17:20:55] <JT-Shop> one at -.1 one at -.2 and one at -.25
[17:20:59] <Tom_itx> will it be .520?

[17:21:40] <Tom_itx> ie .500 or .010?
[17:21:57] <JT-Shop> if you just give it a z depth of .5 and a finish of .02 then two cuts will be made one at -.48 and one at -.5
[17:22:05] <Tom_itx> that could somehow be clarified there imo
[17:22:20] <Tom_itx> yeah that's kinda what i figured
[17:22:21] <JT-Shop> lol it's clear to me
[17:22:25] <Tom_itx> i'm sure
[17:22:32] <Tom_itx> i'm playing devil's advocate
[17:22:32] <JT-Shop> did you look at the info tab?
[17:22:46] <Tom_itx> oh hell no :D
[17:22:47] <JT-Shop> I know and thanks
[17:24:01] <Tom_itx> you know.. if you reverse the order of those 2 and maybe call the Z final Z finish it may be more self explanatory
[17:24:24] <Tom_itx> so Z Depth is the _last_ entry
[17:24:44] <Tom_itx> something about mericans reading from left to right up to down :D
[17:27:01] <Tom_itx> then visually, Z Safe, Z Top, Z Finish, Z Depth are in order of depth

[17:40:18] <jthornton> Depth Of Cut
[17:42:30] <Tom_itx> if you start from the left front it will throw the chips at you
[17:43:48] <jthornton> IchGuckLive, I can add tool tip text to the entry boxes but that might get annoying once you know how
[17:43:59] <Tom_itx> it doesn't make alot of sense to have x y 0 in the center but i'm sure someone would disagree

[17:44:52] <Tom_itx> either rear corner i can see
[17:44:57] <Tom_itx> i seldom indicate off the front

[17:47:10] <jthornton> did you notice the "*" indicating a required value?
[17:47:19] <Tom_itx> yes
[17:47:41] <Tom_itx> you may want to put a little space between the boxes so it stands out more
[17:47:57] <Tom_itx> | * | instead of |*|
[17:48:30] <Tom_itx> or have them blink in purple for us numb skulls
[17:48:52] <jthornton> lol
[17:49:09] <Tom_itx> or if you really wanna get fancy, show the dialog in red until it's satisfied then turn to green
[17:49:39] <jthornton> yea, that is fancy
[17:49:41] <cradek> graying out OK until preconditions are met is a usual way
[17:49:59] <cradek> aside from being really nonstandard behavior, depending on red/green color vision is always a bad idea
[17:50:07] <Tom_itx> i was exagerating a bit...
[17:50:27] <jthornton> what is it about 15% of males are red color blind
[17:50:34] <cradek> I've heard 10% - but yeah, lots
[17:50:51] <jthornton> so goes the memory too
[17:50:54] <cradek> red/green specifically (the colors of our traffic lights, duh)
[17:51:20] <jthornton> but they compensate by the position I'd think
[17:51:32] <cradek> sure, which works unless it's dark
[17:51:46] <Tom_itx> maybe that explains all these idiot drivers..
[17:51:58] <cradek> Tom_itx: oh no. way more than 10% of men are idiots.

[18:03:08] <jthornton> is zig zag even useful for facing?
[18:04:55] <Tom_itx> i would use it
[18:05:18] <cradek> always face from the right side so the chips go away from you
[18:05:21] <Tom_itx> that's generally what we did but we usually used the MPG
[18:05:37] <cradek> yeah nothing wrong with zigzag
[18:05:40] <Tom_itx> unless there were an awful lot of blocks to clean up
[18:06:01] <Tom_itx> cradek i mentioned starting from the right for the same reason
[18:06:16] <Tom_itx> err starting from the left for the wrong reason :)
[18:06:47] <jthornton> I guess the only thing bad about zig zag is you switch back and forth from climb to conventional
[18:07:14] <Tom_itx> i don't think that plays too much a part on a facing op
[18:07:26] <jthornton> IIRC conventional cutting wears the sides of the end mill faster due to the rubbing
[18:07:35] <Tom_itx> not too many mills will take a .250 cut

[19:28:09] <Guest46748> Hi Group. I've sucessfully retrofitted a Tree knee mill to linuxcnc with mesa boards, amc drives, and stock motors. I'm looking at a bed mill with more rpms and all around better machine. Its already been retrofit to mach3 with viper drives. Having used mach3 I really like having the encoders feed back to the controller. Is there a solution for getting encoder feedback to linuxcnc while keeping step/dir drives?
[19:29:00] <Guest46748> sorry thats not very clear. should be: having used mach3 I like how linuxcnc has the encoder feed back all the way to the controller rather than just to the drive
[19:31:46] <andypugh> Guest46748: The solution to this is typically to use the step rate from LinuxCNC to the drives as a velocity control (a LinuxCNC-end change) and to run a PID based on encoder position inside HAL. The LinuxCNC step-generator can output step rate (velocity-mode) rather than distance (position-mode)
[19:36:35] <skunkworks> andypugh, how is rt_preempt working?
[19:36:51] <andypugh> I haven't touched it since last night.
[19:37:00] <Guest46748> Hi Andy. Thanks for the reply. I think the drives require encoder feedback. Do I somehow slip the signal and feed it to linuxcnc also?
[19:37:02] <andypugh> I have moved on to the next thing :-)
[19:37:44] <andypugh> Guest46748: Yes, just take the feedback to both. There might even be a pass-through on the Viper cards.
[19:38:50] <Guest46748> Ok. Nice simple answer I can wrap my mind around. I'll check out the machine.
[19:40:27] <skunkworks> 3 amc drives off ebay might be cheaper ;)
[19:40:55] <skunkworks> *less hasle...)
[19:41:37] <Guest46748> skunkworks, i got amc drives from ebay for my last retrofit, i hate to take a working machine and pull it apart
