#hazzy | Logs for 2018-10-18

Back
[00:55:45] <Lcvette> Yeah, it worked out well having local friends around. On Sundays we would bring food from the commissary over to a park at the edge of the base that had some built in charcoal grills and the local families joined us and would prepare the food. They made incredible meals, they would bring fresh fish and cook them wrapped in big leaves, hard to fermenter the details but it was the best fish I've ever had, better than any $50
[00:55:45] <Lcvette> /plate waterfront place here in Wilmington by far.

[13:44:57] <Lcvette> hazzy my probe basic is all busted
[13:45:01] <Lcvette> :(
[13:45:34] <hazzy-m> I've been trying to take very good care of it :(
[13:45:50] <hazzy-m> it works here
[13:45:54] <Lcvette> i can't get into it at all
[13:46:06] <hazzy-m> you probably need to update linuxcnc
[13:46:13] <hazzy-m> there are a lot of changes to suport multispindle
[13:46:28] <Lcvette> ok
[13:46:37] <Lcvette> how do?
[13:46:47] <Lcvette> sudo apot get linuxcnc
[13:47:08] <Lcvette> sudo apt get update linuxcnc
[13:47:09] <hazzy-m> cd ~/dev/linuxcnc-master
[13:47:57] <hazzy-m> did that work?
[13:48:03] <Lcvette> ```chris@debian:~$ cd ~/dev/linuxcnc-master
[13:48:03] <Lcvette> chris@debian:~/dev/linuxcnc-master$
[13:48:26] <hazzy-m> perfecto!
[13:48:31] <hazzy-m> now run
[13:48:35] <hazzy-m> git status
[13:48:40] <hazzy-m> and past the output here for me
[13:49:04] * Lcvette sent a long message: < https://matrix.org >
[13:50:27] <Lcvette> i did what you taught me earlier and checked out your probe basic
[13:50:54] <Lcvette> but i did not push or pull anything
[13:50:58] <hazzy-m> ok
[13:51:04] <hazzy-m> run
[13:51:08] <Lcvette> i forgot which was right or which was wrong
[13:51:12] <hazzy-m> git pull origin master
[13:51:50] <Lcvette> whoa
[13:51:53] <Lcvette> lots of stuff
[13:52:22] <hazzy-m> good, I was a little confused because it said you were up to date
[13:52:37] <hazzy-m> cd src
[13:52:45] <hazzy-m> make -j4
[13:53:26] <hazzy-m> that will recompile LinuxCNC
[13:54:13] <hazzy-m> when it finishes it should ask you to run `sudo make setuid`
[13:54:49] <Lcvette> is this "installing"?
[13:54:57] <hazzy-m> yes
[13:55:21] <Lcvette> ok done
[13:55:27] <hazzy-m> it is actualy not instaled, it is called a Run In Place, since you run it from the build directory rather than instaling
[13:55:27] <Lcvette> and ran sudo setuid thingy
[13:55:39] <Lcvette> ah
[13:55:43] <hazzy-m> excellent
[13:55:50] <hazzy-m> not ProbeBasic should work
[13:55:54] <hazzy-m> now*
[13:56:23] <hazzy-m> you might need to run `pip install qtpy`
[13:56:42] <Lcvette> i need to run it?
[13:56:50] <Lcvette> or only if theres an error?
[13:56:53] <Lcvette> it loaded
[13:56:54] <hazzy-m> if you get erros
[13:57:02] <hazzy-m> Hurray!
[13:57:38] <Lcvette> but alot of stuff went wonky
[13:57:47] <hazzy-m> I broke a few small things, like the load meter colors. I will fix that then I am done with it
[13:57:54] <hazzy-m> uh oh
[13:57:58] <hazzy-m> like what?
[13:58:37] * Lcvette uploaded an image: image.png (216KB) < https://matrix.org >
[13:59:12] <Lcvette> the override box numbers, the spindle load meter background, the tool diameter dro
[13:59:48] <hazzy-m> Yes, those are still work in progress on my end
[14:00:06] <Lcvette> ah
[14:00:09] <Lcvette> ok
[14:01:36] <hazzy-m> are you running the BrobeBasic branch, or master?
[14:02:41] <hazzy-m> man that looks good! It's nice seeing it again, its been a while
[14:03:02] <Lcvette> i dunno
[14:03:06] <hazzy-m> I guess since before the hurricane
[14:03:06] <hazzy-m> the first one
[14:03:30] <Lcvette> sek
[14:04:47] * Lcvette uploaded an image: image.png (276KB) < https://matrix.org >
[14:04:49] <Lcvette> this is the one i checked out
[14:05:42] <Lcvette> should i checkout master?
[14:06:27] <hazzy-m> yes, that is old, checkout master
[14:06:48] <Lcvette> the one at the very very top?
[14:06:55] <hazzy-m> yes
[14:07:14] <hazzy-m> you will probably have to run `pip install qtpy`
[14:07:22] <Lcvette> ok do i push or pull or neither?
[14:07:33] <hazzy-m> neither
[14:07:46] <hazzy-m> just double click and reset local if it asks
[14:09:01] <Lcvette> where do i install the pip thingy?
[14:09:05] <Lcvette> cd ~/dev/linuxcnc-master
[14:09:06] <Lcvette> ?
[14:09:17] <hazzy-m> anywere
[14:09:25] <hazzy-m> it will do the right thing
[14:09:57] * Lcvette sent a long message: < https://matrix.org >
[14:10:17] <hazzy-m> oops
[14:10:18] <hazzy-m> ok
[14:10:24] <hazzy-m> sudo apt install python-pip
[14:10:28] <hazzy-m> and then run it again
[14:12:44] <Lcvette> ok, loaded now
[14:12:55] <Lcvette> looks the same
[14:13:22] <hazzy-m> it should, but behind the scense there are a lot of changes
[14:13:33] <Lcvette> ok
[14:13:40] <Lcvette> did you get a big screen?
[14:13:43] <hazzy-m> so now you have everything up to data!
[14:13:50] <hazzy-m> no
[14:14:14] <Lcvette> master is now a probe basic screen and not the other little one
[14:15:17] <hazzy-m> yes, I thought we might as well keep ProbeBasic in master since it is by far the best one
[14:15:53] <Lcvette> ah shucks
[14:15:58] <Lcvette> lol
[14:16:18] <Lcvette> you still have the background for the spindle load meter
[14:16:36] <hazzy-m> yes, I saved it
[14:16:54] <Lcvette> ok cool
[14:16:56] <Lcvette> :D
[14:17:15] <hazzy-m> now in designer you can enter the background gradient as a series of lists
[14:17:22] <hazzy-m> but I don't like the way I did it
[14:17:46] <hazzy-m> I'm going to try and make it a custom QSS property, so you can set it like all the other gradients in QSS
[14:20:32] <Lcvette> qss as in the file or as in the designer?
[14:21:15] <Lcvette> i remember you said it loaded slow because the file was so big
[14:21:42] <Lcvette> and you said that was because of all the seperate qss definitions?
[14:28:58] <hazzy-m> You could put it either in the qss file or in designer
[14:29:16] <hazzy-m> eventualy we will move all the QSS to the file, but for not it is fine
[14:30:06] <hazzy-m> I'm going to make a better QSS editor, so when you change the QSS in the external file the widgets in QtDesinger update
[14:30:43] <hazzy-m> Right now it is a pain because the QSS in the file does not show up in designer
[14:31:33] <Lcvette> right
[14:31:57] <Lcvette> that seems like a big task
[14:32:14] <Lcvette> because of the little differences
[14:32:32] <Lcvette> ie some buttons may be different
[14:32:33] <Lcvette> etc
[14:32:43] <Lcvette> text heights
[14:32:50] <Lcvette> so on and so forth
[14:33:36] <hazzy-m> yeah
[14:33:45] <Lcvette> statistics
[14:33:48] <Lcvette> lol
[14:33:51] <hazzy-m> it is not very critical right now, so it can wait
[14:34:10] <Lcvette> hated statistics
[14:34:21] <hazzy-m> lol

[17:20:33] <hazzy-m> Nice!
[19:31:50] <hazzy-m> Why did you get the 6i25 vs the 5i25? Do you only have a PCIE bus available?
[20:47:58] -!- Roguish has quit [Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.92-rdmsoft [XULRunner 35.0.1/20150122214805]]
[20:56:14] <TurBoss> yes
[20:57:16] <TurBoss> lspci reveals pcie <-> pci in the board
[20:57:44] <TurBoss> so much parameters here :O
[21:18:22] <TurBoss> ok hit the first problem ! hurray!
[21:18:28] * TurBoss uploaded an image: image.png (18KB) < https://matrix.org >
[21:18:51] <TurBoss> any idea?
[21:19:11] <hazzy-m> ah, I've had that before
[21:19:58] <hazzy-m> how much are you micro-stepping?
[21:20:03] <TurBoss> 4
[21:20:13] <hazzy-m> ok, that's fine
[21:20:34] <hazzy-m> do you have the step times set correctly?
[21:20:42] <TurBoss> yes
[21:20:53] * TurBoss sent a long message: < https://matrix.org >
[21:21:12] <TurBoss> or no
[21:21:17] <hazzy-m> That looks ok
[21:21:37] <hazzy-m> STEP_SCALE is the only one I am not sure about, but it is a metric machine
[21:21:57] <hazzy-m> so it wil be about 25.4 times what I am used to
[21:22:06] <TurBoss> its calculated from pncconf
[21:22:26] <hazzy-m> then it should be fine
[21:22:34] <hazzy-m> what is your max vel?
[21:22:41] <hazzy-m> in traj
[21:23:44] * TurBoss uploaded an image: image.png (74KB) < https://matrix.org >
[21:24:09] <TurBoss> I need to modify the PID Info ?
[21:24:20] <hazzy-m> no
[21:24:41] <TurBoss> ok
[21:24:53] <hazzy-m> that all looks good
[21:24:58] <hazzy-m> oh, are you using any backlash compensation?
[21:25:04] <TurBoss> no
[21:25:20] <TurBoss> what is that :D
[21:26:01] <hazzy-m> if you have slop in one of your axis screws it will compensate for it
[21:26:18] <TurBoss> oohkey
[21:28:23] <hazzy-m> I think your STEP_SCALE must be wrong
[21:28:37] <hazzy-m> it seems very big
[21:28:53] <TurBoss> https://forum.linuxcnc.org
[21:28:56] <TurBoss> found this
[21:29:43] <hazzy-m> what is the pitch of your lead screws?
[21:30:02] <TurBoss> 5
[21:30:03] * TurBoss uploaded an image: image.png (84KB) < https://matrix.org >
[21:30:45] <hazzy-m> setp_scale shoule be 160
[21:30:50] <hazzy-m> oops
[21:31:04] <TurBoss> ?
[21:31:18] <hazzy-m> the STEP_SCALE should be 160 I think
[21:31:47] <hazzy-m> instead it 1600000,00
[21:31:51] <hazzy-m> of*
[21:32:06] <TurBoss> ooook
[21:33:24] <TurBoss> works!!
[21:33:44] <hazzy-m> hurray!!
[21:33:50] <TurBoss> thank you
[21:34:03] <hazzy-m> np
[21:34:35] <TurBoss> I have questions about how to power the thing
[21:38:14] <hazzy-m> the 7i76 can get logic power from the 6i25, so all you need to do is put field power (12-32V) to the orange terminal block
[21:39:42] <TurBoss> ok
[21:40:16] <TurBoss> I should check the jumpers?
[21:40:23] <hazzy-m> yes
[21:40:26] <TurBoss> is ok from default?
[21:40:37] <hazzy-m> But they are probebaly already set right
[21:40:43] <hazzy-m> but good to check
[21:40:47] <TurBoss> ok
[22:03:53] <TurBoss> they look like default
[22:05:07] <TurBoss> ok so just field poser
[22:05:09] <TurBoss> *power
[22:05:14] <TurBoss> 12V for now
[22:05:35] <TurBoss> not logic
[22:05:50] <hazzy-m> yes, 12V is fine for flied
[22:06:01] <hazzy-m> *field
[22:06:09] * hazzy-m can't type xD
[22:06:22] <TurBoss> :)
[22:06:42] <TurBoss> last question
[22:06:48] <TurBoss> for this minute
[22:07:04] <TurBoss> is safe to power the 7i76 with the computer on?
[22:07:47] <hazzy-m> yes, it should be fine (I do it all the time)
[22:08:12] <TurBoss> great
[22:09:57] <TurBoss> orange led
[22:10:02] <TurBoss> is that ok=
[22:10:38] <hazzy-m> yes, it should turn to green when it starts communicating with LCNC
[22:10:48] <TurBoss> oh amazing
[22:15:38] <TurBoss> no green led and no steeps from
[22:15:52] <hazzy-m> :(
[22:16:05] <hazzy-m> does LCNC give any errors?
[22:16:28] <TurBoss> no
[22:16:45] <hazzy-m> hmm
[22:17:20] <hazzy-m> if you turn off field power while LCNC is on do you get errors? (you should)
[22:17:54] <TurBoss> checking
[22:18:22] <TurBoss> no error
[22:18:23] <TurBoss> :O
[22:18:44] <TurBoss> what should lspci show?
[22:18:57] <hazzy-m> I don't know

[22:23:12] <hazzy-m> bbl
[22:24:24] <TurBoss> bye
[22:38:36] <Lcvette> Did you figure out our?
[22:38:44] <Lcvette> It out*
[22:40:30] <Lcvette> Turbos?
[22:40:42] <Lcvette> Turboss
[22:40:50] <TurBoss> hello
[22:40:53] <TurBoss> no
[22:40:54] <Lcvette> Hello
[22:40:57] <TurBoss> still reading
[22:40:58] <Lcvette> Oh
[22:41:15] <TurBoss> I have field power and a orange led
[22:41:45] <Lcvette> Did you check the 6i25 flash?
[22:41:58] <TurBoss> nop
[22:41:59] <TurBoss> how
[22:42:18] <Lcvette> Ummm. Been a long time
[22:42:29] <Lcvette> Sek
[22:43:18] <TurBoss> ty
[22:44:13] <Lcvette> https://mesaus.com
[22:44:46] <Lcvette> This will tell you the firmware that is flashed on your 6i25
[22:45:10] <Lcvette> You may need to change it for the power jumper
[22:46:49] <Lcvette> Use this link to get the correct bin file if you're is not pre flashed
[22:46:53] <Lcvette> https://mesaus.com
[22:48:15] <Lcvette> Also need to make sure you have enough voltage from your little computer
[22:48:16] <TurBoss> ok
[22:48:53] <TurBoss> why I need to change the power jumper?
[22:48:57] <Lcvette> Think I remember reading something about that
[22:49:54] <TurBoss> I need to flash the 6i25 board? is a Plugango kit
[22:50:34] <Lcvette> You shouldn't have to, but you should check it anyhow
[22:50:48] <TurBoss> ok
[22:50:52] <Lcvette> Make sure you're communicating with the 6i25
[22:51:05] <Lcvette> It will return its flash
[22:52:32] <TurBoss> mesaflash --device 5i25 --readhmid
[22:52:35] <TurBoss> this works
[22:52:40] <TurBoss> returns info
[22:54:49] <Lcvette> Great
[22:55:12] <Lcvette> OK your jumpers on 6i25 w1 and w2 are up?
[22:55:39] <Lcvette> W1 on p2 and w2 on p3
[22:55:40] <TurBoss> hmmm can't see now
[22:56:03] <Lcvette> Those are the jumpers settings for 6i25 to power the 7i76
[22:56:13] <TurBoss> ahhhh
[22:57:09] <TurBoss> can I apply external voltage?
[22:57:30] * Lcvette uploaded an image: _20181018_225708.JPG (224KB) < https://matrix.org >
[22:57:40] <Lcvette> Yes
[22:58:13] <Lcvette> But not if jumpers are set to power enabled or will fry the board
[22:58:16] <Lcvette> Be very careful
[22:58:24] <TurBoss> I see
[22:58:34] <TurBoss> so I'll check the board
[23:00:17] * Lcvette uploaded an image: _20181018_230003.JPG (129KB) < https://matrix.org >
[23:01:57] <Lcvette> Those are the jumpers
[23:03:41] <TurBoss> oh thanks
[23:04:22] <TurBoss> mines look like thoose
[23:04:36] <Lcvette> That's none powered
[23:04:55] * TurBoss uploaded an image: image.png (313KB) < https://matrix.org >
[23:05:20] <TurBoss> is from a pic I took early
[23:05:47] <Lcvette> Change to p2 and paid you want to power the 7i76 5v from 6i25
[23:06:00] <Lcvette> Paid=p3
[23:06:04] <TurBoss> so I must supply 5 v to tok
[23:06:26] <TurBoss> ok
[23:07:41] <Lcvette> Default is nonpowered
[23:09:14] <TurBoss> Im gona change the psu for a more powerfull one
[23:09:31] <Lcvette> no need
[23:09:53] <Lcvette> this is just for pwoering the logic power of the 7i76
[23:10:01] <Lcvette> the field power is completely seperate
[23:10:11] <TurBoss> o
[23:10:14] <TurBoss> k
[23:10:33] <Lcvette> this way when you shut down your computer the system also shuts down
[23:12:06] <Lcvette> this should get you up and stepping
[23:12:27] <TurBoss> ok so... w2 up w1 up too
[23:12:38] <Lcvette> any of your heavier draw items like relays or other stuff will be connected to the field power
[23:12:40] <Lcvette> correct
[23:12:47] <TurBoss> great
[23:13:15] <Lcvette> but... i would disconnect any power supply from the 7i76 until you fully understand the dynamic of logic and field power just to be safe
[23:13:53] <TurBoss> ok
[23:15:33] * Lcvette uploaded an image: 7i76 cable power.png (122KB) < https://matrix.org >
[23:16:30] <TurBoss> ok orange led on the top left of the 7i76
