[00:24:13] <Tom_itx> that should have been the 1st one
[00:24:52] <CaptHindsight> ykes, had my sound way up when that one started
[00:25:12] <Tom_itx> surround sound?
[00:25:57] <Tom_itx> i think i'll edit the program, that's pushing that little motor pretty hard
[00:27:01] <CaptHindsight> Tom_itx: what did you end up doing to keep the column square on the mill?
[00:27:28] <CaptHindsight> is it adustable with shims or did you scrape it square or??
[00:27:47] <Tom_L> i shimmed it
[00:28:00] <Tom_L> re checked it just before i started this job
[00:28:06] <Tom_L> and adjusted it a little bit
[00:28:33] <CaptHindsight> how is that Shars vise working out? just fine?
[00:28:35] <Tom_L> but i bumped into something prior to that so i wasn't surprised it was off a little bit
[00:28:40] <Tom_L> i like it
[00:28:47] <Tom_L> wish i had 2
[00:29:43] <Tom_L> still gettin used to programming for this thing though
[00:29:52] <Tom_L> need to back off a little more
[00:30:12] <Tom_L> i think the mill would take it but the spindle won't

[01:26:33] <tjb1> Anyone have an idea how to stop the post from printing the pierce height before pen down in sheetcam? https://i.imgur.com
[01:28:20] <tjb1> N90 is the tool pierce height, N100-N140 are the codes inserted by "OnPenDown"

[01:31:20] -!- c-log has joined #linuxcnc
[01:44:10] <tjb1> looks like its a no because that is part of "OnRapid"
[01:44:41] <Tom_L> G31 isn't a valid lcnc Gcode
[01:46:22] <Tom_L> i've never looked at sheetcam's post
[01:57:26] <tjb1> well its a bit hacky but if(endZ ~= pierceHeight and probeZDone == 1) then post.ModalNumber (" Z", endZ * scale, "0.0000")
[01:57:27] <tjb1> end
[01:57:49] <tjb1> will stop it from printing the Z if it matches the pierceHeight and I haven't done a probe yet
[01:59:22] <tjb1> side note..why so many ways to display not equal? != <> ~= =/=, every language has to be different
[02:00:23] <tjb1> Tom_L: not using lcnc
[02:00:47] <XXCoder> honestly my preference is !=. simple.
[02:00:56] <XXCoder> "not equal"
[02:01:11] <tjb1> yeah sheetcam prefers ~= because lua apparently
[02:01:28] <tjb1> tilde equal
[02:05:28] -!- micges has joined #linuxcnc

[04:40:05] <IchGucksLive> we got wild fire this night
[04:40:16] <IchGucksLive> as campers dont take out fire

I think that thing needs a lot of grease and (now) a new fuse for one of the motors. :-( At least it happened on a sunday to the time loss for manaully winding it close with the little allen key isnt that big of an issue. would
[09:32:04] <Loetmichel> it happened on my commute tomorrow i now would have be pissed boss because "to late to work". :-)

[11:09:26] <IchGucksLive> hi all
[11:09:52] <IchGucksLive> we got hail as big as golfballs
[11:10:09] <IchGucksLive> rain about 45liters/sq metter
[11:10:31] -!- tlab has joined #linuxcnc
[11:10:31] <IchGucksLive> what a day
[11:10:43] <IchGucksLive> hi tlab
[11:10:56] <IchGucksLive> tjb1, hat kind of art
[11:11:26] <IchGucksLive> tjb1, every clipart within minutes
[11:11:39] <tjb1> using what for conversion?
[11:11:57] <IchGucksLive> tjb1, shapes contours black/W
[11:12:08] <IchGucksLive> tjb1, inkscape
[11:12:52] <tiwake> IchGucksLive: I have yet to see serious hail... even after moving to texas
[11:12:56] <tjb1> Thanks IchGucksLive, Ill give that a try
[11:13:02] <IchGucksLive> https://www.youtube.com
[11:13:34] <IchGucksLive> tjb1, there is a older one for Black and white
[11:13:55] <IchGucksLive> tjb1, if you lik me to your need i will do it for you
[11:14:01] <Tom_L> http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81
[11:14:02] <tjb1> An older Inkscape?
[11:14:09] <Tom_L> i collected that one year
[11:14:56] <tiwake> honestly its easier to skip the GIMP step
[11:15:36] <tiwake> with inkscape you can easily remove traced bitmap crap
[11:15:44] <tiwake> that you don't want
[11:17:21] <IchGucksLive> tiwake, i dont agree
[11:17:38] <IchGucksLive> with the pen you can get lots of good straigts
[11:17:48] <IchGucksLive> bevor trace
[11:18:17] <tiwake> IchGucksLive: I've done quite a bit of inkscape crap in general :3 its easy to work with
[11:19:15] <IchGucksLive> agree
[11:19:21] <IchGucksLive> i do most of it
[11:19:43] <IchGucksLive> tiwake, http://schwedenfeuer.de
[11:20:04] <IchGucksLive> tiwake, thisis all inkscape
[11:20:11] <Tecan> whoa lots of news
[11:20:13] <Tecan> http://netpipe.ca
[11:20:27] <tiwake> IchGucksLive: here is one of the bigger project things I made in inkscape https://derpicdn.net
[11:21:33] <IchGucksLive> nice 3D optic
[11:22:46] <tiwake> IchGucksLive: did some engraving too, though not with the plugin... made art specifically for engraving.. made labels for a friend selling product locally, some business cards... bunch of stuff
[11:23:10] <IchGucksLive> tjb1, sides like scan2 cad use the python script to generate the dxf and make money
[11:23:44] <tjb1> I did find signtorch but I would like to get started before going all out

[11:28:49] <Rab> I've used Inkscape with gcodetools for tons of simple 2D CAD: http://reboots.g-cipher.net http://reboots.g-cipher.net
[11:29:44] <Rab> Admittedly it's probably not the most polished workflow. It basically works though.

[12:31:46] <hazzy-lab> I still have not been able to figure out how to tell if an argument was passed to a sub, there has to be a way to do this, right?
[12:31:55] <hazzy-lab> This is what I have so far: http://dpaste.com
[12:33:21] <hazzy-lab> one problem is that EXISTS only takes a named parameter, so I can't pass it the numbered parameter that the arg gets stored in directly to EXISTS
[12:33:31] -!- tlab has joined #linuxcnc
[12:35:22] <hazzy-lab> If I call the sub like this `o<circle> call [0] [0] [2]` I get:
[12:35:23] <hazzy-lab> emc/task/emctask.cc 397: interp_error: Cannot make arc with zero feed rate
[12:35:23] <hazzy-lab> Cannot make arc with zero feed rate
[12:37:28] <hazzy-lab> But since I did not pass the feedrate (forth positional arg), I expected the if EXISTS to set the default feed rate to 25
[12:42:42] <rmu> hazzy-lab: why not "if feedrate == 0: feedrate = default_feedrate"
[12:44:43] <hazzy-lab> rmu: That works!!
[12:45:27] <hazzy-lab> So that implies that all 30 args are passed no matter what, but have default values of 0
[12:47:32] <hazzy-lab> That is not ideal, we need a None type!
[12:48:01] -!- tlab has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
[12:48:25] <hazzy-lab> Because right now you can't tell it somebody passed 0, or did not pass anything
[12:48:31] <hazzy-lab> hmm

[13:12:31] <CaptHindsight> c_e: have you contacted Tormach?
[13:13:24] <c_e> not a tormach. grizzly g0704 clone
[13:13:45] <IchGucksLive> https://forum.linuxcnc.org
[13:13:46] <c_e> have it working with mach3/4 with an ESS board
[13:14:42] <c_e> trying to make it work with PP, and a 7i92 attached to a cnc4pc C11G bob
[13:15:12] <IchGucksLive> this will be the same as a 5i25 setup
[13:15:29] <IchGucksLive> there is a BOB pin out file
[13:15:50] <c_e> have it mostly working, but I'm seeing an issue with the charge pump and enable
[13:16:02] <IchGucksLive> see the mesa 7i92 files provided that fit your need
[13:16:21] <CaptHindsight> https://cnc4pc.com
[13:16:48] <CaptHindsight> http://cnc4pc.com
[13:16:58] <c_e> right now, PP is not running and yet I've got every relay lit up. As soon as I start PP, it turn's off all the relays..
[13:17:36] <c_e> at which point I can turn them on/off using Coolant and spindle buttons in PP..
[13:18:59] <IchGucksLive> c_e, did you look if all the pins of your bob are on

[13:21:33] <c-log> CaptHindsight: Today's Log http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81
[13:21:44] <pcw_home> You probably need to get the charge pump working/enabled to have the start-up relay state correct

[13:22:15] <IchGucksLive> im off Gn8
[13:22:17] -!- DaPeace has joined #linuxcnc
[13:22:18] <c_e> of course.. I know about pullup/down etc..
[13:22:23] -!- IchGucksLive has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[13:22:45] <CaptHindsight> not a test, just checking :)
[13:22:54] <c_e> understood...
[13:23:12] <c_e> not a noob in the cnc world.. just to linuxcnc
[13:24:17] <c_e> I have a 4x8 cnc router running mach3 and starting to look into running mach4 on it. The mill I had running with mach3/4, just want a better interface
[13:25:18] <c_e> but yeah, chargepump is definitely being a pain
[13:25:25] <CaptHindsight> Start by disabling the SCHP.
[13:26:21] <c_e> that's how I currently have it working. it's when I enable it that nothing works. it's like I don't have a signal.
[13:27:01] <pcw_home> you probably don't, have you added chargepump support to the hal file?
[13:27:20] <c_e> there is no halrun command in pathpilot. think I'll need to compile it so I have all the commands.
[13:27:55] <pcw_home> you can probably just fix this in the hal file

[13:32:04] <pcw_home> I would not expect that to work
[13:32:35] <pcw_home> what firmware are you using? (should be 7i92_C11Gx2D.bit)
[13:33:08] <c_e> actually at moment, I'm using the default from tormach
[13:33:27] <c_e> everything is exactly as needed for pinout
[13:35:21] <pcw_home> probably not since the default is either for Tormach breakout or a G540
[13:36:31] <c_e> tormach breakout and the C11G appear to pin compatible though.
[13:36:32] <CaptHindsight> side note: was Tormach nice enough to post a Howto for those installing PathPilot on Linuxcnc on their own?
[13:36:42] <c_e> hahhaha
[13:38:27] <c_e> of note though is the new version of pathpilot. v2.1.2
[13:42:26] <pcw_home> the tormach config will not be correct for later C11s that need PWM for the spindle
[13:43:14] <pcw_home> also the charge pump needs to be 12.5 KHz

[15:19:57] <Tecan> think there is a market for a 10' x 10' or larger 3d printers ? for making car parts or something
[15:20:31] <pfred1> I don't want no plastic car
[15:20:34] <gregcnc> there are a few giant printers
[15:20:51] <pfred1> real steel baby
[15:21:03] <pcw_home> Arent they mostly plastic now anyway?
[15:22:15] <Tecan> the house printers might be worth money if it did not lead to mess afterwards if the part prints like crap
[15:22:31] <Tecan> 1000 dollars would be nice pricetag
[15:22:58] <gregcnc> maybe with 3-4 more zeros?
[15:23:24] <Tecan> not really, all you need is a screwpump for concrete and a few large steppers/drivers
[15:23:42] <Tecan> and a hoist setup
[15:23:48] <gregcnc> you aren't making money
[15:24:37] <Tecan> whats the ones that just have an arm on em called ?

[15:54:24] <c_e> had to reinstall PP 2.0 yet again. 7i92 is finicky for some reason and it's not always detected.
[15:54:54] <c_e> anyways charge pump is now working. Onto spindle speed
[15:55:12] -!- Motioncontrol has quit [Quit: Sto andando via]
[15:56:50] <c_e> tormach must use a lower frequency for there charge pump
[15:58:03] <pcw_home> Depending on C11 version you may need to use the 7i92_C11Gx2D.bit firmware
[15:58:55] <pcw_home> (early versions used frequency to voltage newer use PWM)
[15:59:13] <c_e> understood.. I had it using the 7i92 C11 bit file, but after a reinstall, noticed that most functions were working for me
[16:00:03] <pcw_home> the bitfile with the"G" uses PWM for the spindle, the non-G version uses frequency (a stepgen)
[16:00:07] <c_e> I can hear a high pitched whine from the board when I enable the spindle
[16:02:03] <pcw_home> if you change to the G version bitfile you will need to change the chargepump setup
[16:03:12] <pcw_home> its done with stepgen 4 on that bitfile and has PWM on pin 14 (spindle) instead of a stepgen
[16:03:37] <c_e> damn.
[16:03:39] <pcw_home> really depends on the C11 card you have
[16:04:10] <c_e> it's brand new.. got it in the mail from arturo last week
[16:04:40] <pcw_home> So its a PWM version...
[16:05:41] <c_e> I could probably ask mesa once I figure out what I need, to create a bit file for me
[16:06:06] <c_e> when I talked to them on the phone they seemed very willing to help
[16:06:14] <pcw_home> theres already a C11G bitfile thats correct
[16:06:38] <pcw_home> 7i92_C11Gx2D.bit
[16:07:03] <pcw_home> just got to prevent PP from overwriting it
[16:08:03] <c_e> only time it should get overwritten is if I directly replaced PP file, and upgraded

[16:23:47] <c_e> I don't think those bit files will work.
[16:24:07] <c_e> pin 14 for a tormach is actually the coolant relay
[16:24:18] -!- JT-Shop has joined #linuxcnc
[16:26:20] <c_e> pin 1 on the other hand is the spindle speed
[16:35:53] -!- `Wolf has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
[16:36:18] <pcw_home> right, the Tormach firmware should not be expected to work on a C11
[16:37:04] <pcw_home> nor will their hal file without some changes...
[16:40:24] <pcw_home> you need the C11G bitfile on the 7I92 to support a new C11 breakout
[16:44:34] -!- tlab has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[16:45:49] <c_e> need to find where it's detecting the wrong bit file. I can change it, but then it fails to start.
[16:46:15] <pcw_home> Their breakout is considerably different than a C11 (motion stepgens are the same, but thats about it)
[16:46:50] <pcw_home> I would not expect it to start since the hal pin mapping will be wonky
[16:48:15] <pcw_home> In LinuxCNC this is easy, (the offending hal line # is printed) if PP just fails to load you are working in the dark...
[16:53:16] <c_e> just have to change autostart of linuxcnc and then start a shell

[17:13:37] <c_e> so parameter or pin "hm2_7i92.0.gpio.001.is_output" not found in the .hal file
[17:14:21] <pcw_home> thats correct
[17:15:38] <pcw_home> I recommend that you print the 7i92_C11Gx2D.pin file for a GPIO pin reference
[17:16:17] <JT-Shop> IIRC I read something about getting information from a ethernet card like the 7i96 somehow?
[17:16:46] <pcw_home> if you look at that you will notice that GPIO1 is PWM0 on that config
[17:17:12] <c_e> ok then. now PWM spindle control is possible. just need to figure out the coolant relay and where to send it
[17:17:32] <pcw_home> jt-shop, you can use mesaflash's --readhmid option for that like all other cards
[17:17:47] <c_e> went into the .hal and commented out the lines for coolant for now
[17:18:29] <pcw_home> JT-Shop: in fact thats how that 7i92_C11Gx2D.pin file was made
[17:19:25] <JT-Shop> thanks
[17:20:51] <pcw_home> mesaflash --device 7i92 --addr yourIPAddress > bitfilename.pin
[17:21:21] <pcw_home> I have a script for that (makepin bitfile_name)
[17:21:55] <JT-Shop> cool
[17:22:06] <pcw_home> basically runs mesaflash 3 times, one to write, one to reload and one to readhmid
[17:24:02] <JT-Shop> thanks

[17:37:28] <c_e> so in the .hal file, I changed the coolant to use gpio.000.is_output instead of 001. changed all three instances of 001. changed my C11G so that pin 1 is on the last relay instead of pin 17. Doesn't seem to toggle the relay though. so I'm missing something
[17:40:05] <pcw_home> any GPIO pin used as an output needs to be set to output mode
[17:41:12] <pcw_home> ( that is, its is_output attribute set )
[17:41:36] <pcw_home> bbl need to fetch SO from train station
