[07:47:27] <JT-Mobile> morning
[08:26:59] -!- JT-Mobile has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[09:05:16] <Lcvette> morning
[09:33:13] <hazzy-m> Morning
[12:30:32] <Roguish> hazzy-m: good morning. or afternoon.......
[12:31:32] <Roguish> simple question, If i'm running BP_touch, can I run another GUI ? like a giant DRO, with ferrors and axes velocities ?
[12:31:54] <Roguish> no commands, just monitors.
[12:50:55] <hazzy-m> yes, you can run as manu GUIs are you like!
[12:51:59] <hazzy-m> to start an extra GUI from a terminal you can run `qtpyvcp /path/to/file.ui --ini=/path/to/machine.ini
[12:55:01] <hazzy-m> Roguish: the primary GUI does not have to be qtpyvcp based, it could also be axis, or gmoccapy etc.
[12:55:41] <Roguish> but I like qtpyvcp 'cause I can customize easily.
[12:56:11] <Roguish> JT's BP is coming along. evolving.
[12:57:21] <hazzy-m> yes it is! I was running it yesterday and noticed a few glitches, but in general it is very usable
[12:57:30] <Roguish> and I probably can figure out how to make a simple launcher for either or both......
[12:58:03] <Roguish> gonna try and set up my touch screen at the mill. never easy.
[13:02:32] <hazzy-m> if you want to auto launch extra GUIs you could use the [APPLICATIONS] section in the INI
[13:02:35] <hazzy-m> [APPLICATIONS]
[13:02:35] <hazzy-m> APP = qtpyvcp --ini=/home/kurt/dev/cnc/qtpyvcp/sim/xyz.ini
[13:10:07] * Lcvette uploaded an image: image.png (171KB) < https://matrix.org >
[13:15:00] <hazzy-m> hohoh, you made a slant bed!
[13:16:58] * Lcvette uploaded a video: scv_1549664456923.mp4 (3330KB) < https://matrix.org >
[13:17:03] <Lcvette> yeah thats been the build plan from go
[13:17:12] <Lcvette> thats why i turned the bead around
[13:17:37] <Lcvette> has a nice long table for a turret
[13:19:29] <hazzy-m> ah, I guess I did't realize that, nice!
[13:19:41] * Lcvette uploaded an image: image.png (118KB) < https://matrix.org >
[13:21:29] <Lcvette> solved a few issues
[13:21:35] <Lcvette> one was it made it not soo deep
[13:22:03] <Lcvette> its only 34" deep verse 46" deep if it was flat
[13:22:28] <Lcvette> also the flat bed with no drain through is a nightmare for chips and coolant
[13:22:37] <Lcvette> slants its runs off easy
[13:23:06] <Lcvette> so it now fits better in the shop against the wall next to the benches
[13:23:16] <Lcvette> near the power outlet and air
[13:23:28] <Lcvette> no need to run new ones and put it out in the middle of the floor
[13:23:58] <Lcvette> and with the enclosure, the chuck is much closer to the door now
[13:24:00] <Lcvette> easier to access

[14:12:36] -!- JT-Shop has joined #hazzy
[14:30:21] <hazzy-m> JT-qtpyvcp: your back, hurray!
[14:30:42] <hazzy-m> I am hooking up my VFD, but in reverse I don't get any PWM output
[14:30:56] <hazzy-m> do I need to use an abs commponent on the spindle speed?
[15:01:06] <Not-e6c6> [02qtpyvcp] 07KurtJacobson pushed 031 commit to 03master [+0/-0/±1] 13https://git.io/fhQvC
[15:01:08] <Not-e6c6> [02qtpyvcp] 07Lcvette 03a8a738f - added gcode editor buttons, removed mode status label (redundant)

[15:32:00] <pcw_home> hazzy-m: there's an absolute spindle speed output from motion
[15:33:14] <hazzy-m> pcw_home: oh sweet!
[15:33:16] <hazzy-m> thank you
[15:35:36] <pcw_home> on a related note both the software encoder and various hardware encoders really should export a velocity in RPM (to make closed loop spindle controls easier)
[15:40:48] <hazzy-m> I am sending the output from a PID to the 7i76 spinout, should I change the input to the PID to use the ABS value?
[15:44:43] <pcw_home> yes
[15:45:29] <pcw_home> The 7I76 spindle output hal pin is unipolar (so will mis-behave with negative numbers)
[15:56:56] <hazzy-m> that worked great! It was only running at the min speed in revers before
[15:57:35] <hazzy-m> pcw_home: did you see this? https://github.com
[15:57:55] <hazzy-m> not sure if that could be related to my MPG setup or is a bug
[15:58:13] <hazzy-m> (or maybe expected behavior)
[16:02:31] <pcw_home> Yeah, the MPG counter will always count, not sure what LinuxCNC does when it changes modes
[16:06:33] <pcw_home> I does suggest that LinuxCNC should remove any existing jog offset when changing to MDI mode, not sure if it does or not
[16:32:26] <TurBoss> Hello
[16:33:00] * TurBoss feels like fish in the water with its new Arch desktop 😆
[16:38:37] <TurBoss> hdd failure was a crisistunity
[17:32:15] <JT-qtpyvcp> hazzy-m, just getting settled back in, did you get a chance to work on the tool table?
[17:35:13] <hazzy-m> No, haven't done anything :(
[17:35:20] <hazzy-m> TurBoss: Great!
[17:35:29] <TurBoss> :)
[17:35:58] <hazzy-m> what desktop are you using?
[17:36:06] <TurBoss> gnome shell
[17:38:18] <TurBoss> I'll head to the vtk thing soon
[17:38:29] <TurBoss> did you played with?
[17:42:04] <hazzy-m> a little bit
[17:42:10] <hazzy-m> seems very nice
[17:42:25] <hazzy-m> did you get the grid bounds problem fixed?
[17:43:04] <TurBoss> no
[17:43:57] * TurBoss reboots to lcnc dev
[17:44:21] <JT-qtpyvcp> did the syntax for positions.py change?
[17:55:01] -!- Roguish_desk has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[17:57:08] <hazzy-m> yes, in data channels
[17:57:10] <hazzy-m> checking
[17:59:10] <JT-qtpyvcp> ok the docstring is not correct, that is why I thought it was broken
[18:01:51] <Not-e6c6> [02qtpyvcp] 07TurBoss pushed 031 commit to 03VTKCannon [+0/-0/±1] 13https://git.io/fhQJp

[18:07:19] <Lcvette> Hola
[18:07:25] <TurBoss> yep
[18:07:26] <TurBoss> que paso?
[18:07:54] <Lcvette> Que pass hoy

[18:08:08] <TurBoss> not much
[18:08:11] <Lcvette> Pasa
[18:08:16] <Lcvette> Paso?
[18:08:29] <TurBoss> in past
[18:08:31] <TurBoss> :P
[18:08:37] <Lcvette> Ah
[18:08:41] <TurBoss> :)
[18:08:49] <Lcvette> Looks good!
[18:09:59] <TurBoss> :)
[18:12:12] <Lcvette> Is the tool supposed to be sideways?
[18:15:22] <TurBoss> isn't the real tool
[18:18:32] <Not-e6c6> [02qtpyvcp] 07TurBoss pushed 031 commit to 03VTKCannon [+0/-0/±1] 13https://git.io/fhQUL
[18:18:34] <Not-e6c6> [02qtpyvcp] 07TurBoss 03a6adc98 - minor
[18:19:02] <TurBoss> heading to the tool
[18:26:09] -!- JT-qtpyvcp has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[18:27:13] <hazzy-m> TurBoss: hurray!!
[18:27:27] * hazzy-m is working on data channels
[18:27:30] <TurBoss> cool
[18:27:40] <TurBoss> but
[18:27:42] <TurBoss> whats that?
[18:27:44] <TurBoss> ahhahahahah
[18:28:39] -!- jesseg has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[18:29:28] -!- jesseg has joined #hazzy
[18:30:02] -!- JT-qtpyvcp has joined #hazzy
[18:31:04] <hazzy-m> something that will never be done
[18:31:05] <hazzy-m> lol
[18:31:20] <TurBoss> ohhhh

[18:37:54] <JT-qtpyvcp> in data channel how do you get say the relative position of axis x?
[18:38:04] * JT-qtpyvcp has run out of guesses
[18:49:56] -!- pcw_home has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[19:02:04] -!- pcw_home has joined #hazzy
[19:29:53] <Roguish> crap, just hosed up my mill ssd
[19:30:34] <Roguish> no usb now, therefore no keyboard or rat
[19:31:04] <hazzy-m> JT-qtpyvcp: position:rel?string&axis=x
[19:32:18] <hazzy-m> possition is the plugin, rel is the rel pos DataChannel, and everything after the ? are arguments
[19:32:48] <hazzy-m> string means return a string value, and axis=x specifies that you want the pos of the x axis
[19:33:21] <hazzy-m> Roguish: Oh no! how did you achieve that?
[19:33:59] <Roguish> doesn't really loose any data or setups.
[19:34:11] <Roguish> gonna try and resurrect it.
[19:34:34] <Roguish> otherwise copy important stuff to a new ssd.
[19:39:27] <Lcvette> Amazon has some Kingston 128gb dad's for $17 shipped
[19:39:29] <Lcvette> Prime
[19:40:08] <Lcvette> Kingston A400 SSD 120GB SATA 3 2.5” Solid State Drive SA400S37/120G - Increase Performance https://www.amazon.com
[19:40:32] <Lcvette> I just got two of them
[19:41:38] <hazzy-m> pcw_home: is there a G540 + 7i76 bitfile for the 5i25?
[19:42:57] <Lcvette> Check the Mesa site, but I think I saw one
[19:43:40] <Lcvette> But if you have a 7i76, why would you need the g540?
[19:45:12] <Lcvette> If it's just for the cable convenience, you can grab a multi db9 breakout terminal board
[19:51:08] <Lcvette> Hazzy, check here

[21:31:09] <Not-e6c6> [02qtpyvcp] 07TurBoss 03709aca4 - navigation style
[21:32:12] <hazzy-m> hey!
[21:32:16] <TurBoss> yo
[21:32:17] <TurBoss> :E
[21:32:19] <TurBoss> :D
[21:32:31] <TurBoss> navigation style
[21:32:38] <TurBoss> original was very frustrating
[21:32:43] * hazzy-m is trying it out!
[21:32:57] <hazzy-m> it was, lol
[21:32:57] <TurBoss> great!!
[21:32:58] <hazzy-m> i always got lost
[21:32:59] <TurBoss> ty
[21:33:00] <hazzy-m> xD
[21:33:14] <TurBoss> I'm trying to draw the tool cone upside
[21:34:23] <hazzy-m> that is much better!
[21:35:09] <TurBoss> cool!
[21:43:14] <Not-e6c6> [02qtpyvcp] 07TurBoss pushed 031 commit to 03VTKCannon [+0/-0/±1] 13https://git.io/fhQkP
[21:43:16] <Not-e6c6> [02qtpyvcp] 07TurBoss 03a3e1a82 - rotate cone 90º
[22:07:31] <Lcvette> You did it?
[22:09:00] <Lcvette> Is this going to be the new backplot
[22:09:03] <Lcvette> ?
[22:09:14] <hazzy-m> yes!
[22:10:04] <Lcvette> Sweet!
[22:11:29] <Lcvette> Any adjustability to the text display?
[22:12:07] <Lcvette> I would rotate the numbers on the axis
[22:12:43] <hazzy-m> they rotate automatically, I think you will think it is ok, it works pretty well
[22:13:10] <hazzy-m> that is a bad view in that screenshot
[22:13:46] <Lcvette> I think they should be perpendicular to the axis line
[22:14:07] <Lcvette> So if they are longer they don't run together ever
[22:14:19] <Lcvette> They will what's have a uniform spacing
[22:14:35] <Lcvette> Easier to read
[22:15:03] <hazzy-m> yeah, true
[22:15:18] <hazzy-m> not a problem now though
[22:15:29] <hazzy-m> TurBoss: cone looks great!
[22:15:52] <TurBoss> ty
[22:16:06] <TurBoss> I'm looking some things of the springrts server
[22:16:20] <hazzy-m> ok!
[22:24:06] <TurBoss> hazzy: hows the datachannel?
