[04:33:42] <Loetmichel> *MUHAHA* Coworker just came up to me with a bewildered look: "that pc beeps with the front lid open and is quiet with front lid closed! How can THAT happen?" (our PCs have a front lid with a lock and a magentic sensor in the case that detects the closed lock via a magnet glued to the lock)
[04:34:00] <Loetmichel> i got over, investigated: boss used tha PC and was annoyed by the beeping and put a magnet nest to the locks latch. So the sensor sees a field and quiets. but he put that magnet the other way around than the one in the lock. so the moment you close the door the two magnets cancel each other out...
[04:34:21] <Loetmichel> cue me giving the engineer coworker a refresh course in magnetism ;)

[05:57:19] <drzacek> Hello there
[05:57:38] <XXCoder> hey
[05:57:48] <drzacek> I just installed linuxcnc our of curiosity. It doesn't look simple at all, I'm flooded with stuff I don't understand at all :D
[05:58:13] <XXCoder> heh yeah cnc machines commerical its already done for you
[05:58:35] <XXCoder> linuxcnc you have to do it all, but its extremely flexiable and very powerful.
[05:58:45] <drzacek> I can imagine
[05:58:51] <drzacek> so what modules can I connect there?
[05:59:12] <drzacek> I can't imagine controlling the machine over buttons & dials in the UI
[05:59:13] <XXCoder> not too sure what you mean by modules
[05:59:32] <XXCoder> oh! dial, signal generator, switches etc
[05:59:40] <drzacek> well I need to control motors somehow, but surely I can also connect some I/O modules or PLCs?
[05:59:47] <XXCoder> yeah you can use anything, you connect em to pins etc
[05:59:52] <jthornton> morning
[05:59:57] <XXCoder> using MESA or parallel port breakout or whatever
[06:00:08] <XXCoder> jt is our resident expert on MESA.
[06:00:10] <drzacek> is there a support for industrial fieldbuses?
[06:00:15] <drzacek> morning
[06:00:46] <drzacek> what's mesa exactly
[06:00:57] <drzacek> I can recall something regarding grahics
[06:01:06] <drzacek> but I was linked some mesa modules last time
[06:01:13] <XXCoder> its not graphics
[06:01:19] <XXCoder> jthornton? heh
[06:01:22] <drzacek> https://en.wikipedia.org(computer_graphics)
[06:02:08] <XXCoder> lol nah not graphics related :) its hardware to control cnc machines
[06:02:12] -!- sameee has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[06:02:17] <XXCoder> and deals with inputs and outputs
[06:02:37] <drzacek> is it some open standard, or just the name of the company?
[06:03:51] <XXCoder> hmm dunno? jt still havent had his coffee or something yet heh he'll help out
[06:04:32] <drzacek> I'm looking at their website and what they offer
[06:04:36] <XXCoder> its not sole choice however theres cheap system of using breakout board for parallel port with say cheap drivers like tb6600, but those isnt great for commerical setups
[06:04:36] <drzacek> so I have a general idea
[06:05:01] <drzacek> but can I connect some other parts? got access to profibus and some can bus modules
[06:05:19] <Tom_L> morning
[06:06:34] <XXCoder> i only know basics of more advanced system, mine is cheap cnc router with BOB and tb6600s lol

[06:47:11] <tiwake> the kit is like $400 or something
[06:48:12] <tiwake> 7i77 is for servos, 7i76 is for stepper motors

[11:34:03] <Tom_L> jthornton, do you know how to save a session in mate?
[11:45:28] <Rab> Attn machinists: https://www.grizzly.com
[11:45:41] <Tom_L> jthornton, i see what i did wrong now :)
[11:45:46] <Rab> Easily able to handle Wood, Metal, Plastics and Glass!
[11:47:10] <Rab> I think it's a wickedness for their action shot to depict a really bad use of a MT spindle...I assume this machine has no drawbar.
[11:54:43] <flyback> cool
[11:54:59] <flyback> rab just remember to mind yourself making dust
[11:55:19] <flyback> if you are drilling particularily nasty stuff to drill
[11:55:50] <flyback> granted highly unlikely with just a drill bit to genenrate enough dust to be a damage but still good thing to think about
[11:55:58] <flyback> damage/danger
[11:56:32] <Tom_L> jthornton, why do you need min major diameter in the file?
[11:57:53] <Rab> flyback, even sawdust can be bad news. I try to either generate dust outside, or use a respirator.

[12:17:06] <Tom_L> my mill pc does it but i can't figure it out on this one
[12:17:09] <jthornton> not sure what your asking?
[12:17:26] <Tom_L> so when i boot up it comes up as i left it
[12:17:33] <Tom_L> everything open
[12:17:39] <jthornton> hmm, never tried that
[12:17:46] <Tom_L> my wheezy box does that
[12:17:51] <jthornton> if you figure it out let me know

[12:18:04] <Tom_L> i'm not sure what desktop i'm using on wheezy
[12:18:06] <jthornton> I'm sure it's desktop related
[12:18:15] <Tom_L> i thought it was mate but who knows
[12:18:35] <jthornton> if it's from the iso it's the lx something or other

[12:41:02] <Jymmm> I'm not sure what a famous toaster is famous for, but we'll go with it =)
[12:43:14] <fragalot> that was exactly what I thought when I registered it
[12:43:41] <fragalot> the Toaster was one of my old XPC's with hardware in it that really did not belong in such a small form factor

[12:48:36] <skunkworks> http://electronicsam.com

[12:50:21] <skunkworks> http://electronicsam.com
[12:50:45] <fragalot> skunkworks: calibrate your probe!
[12:50:58] <Jymmm> and degrease your scope =)
[12:51:02] <fragalot> also, clean that thing, shameful :P

[12:51:20] <skunkworks> heh

[12:51:42] <Jymmm> fragalot: is that what that is? probe issue?

[12:51:52] <fragalot> -e
[12:51:59] <Jymmm> skunkworks: I have unlock codes if you are interested
[12:52:53] <skunkworks> for?
[12:53:06] <Jymmm> fragalot: I thought is was some funky signal and was going "Uh, is that me or...???"
[12:53:31] <Jymmm> skunkworks: turns a 25Mmhz into 100Mhz
[12:55:02] -!- Dave_Elec has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[12:55:28] <fragalot> Jymmm: nah, this is why most scopes have a 2kHz square wave generator, and a little trim pot on the probes
[12:55:43] <fragalot> you basically just adjust that little pot until the square wave looks.. well.. square.
[12:55:50] <Jymmm> skunkworks: unlocks this scope... https://www.youtube.com
[12:56:09] <fragalot> Jymmm: 50Mhz to 100, not 25
[12:56:22] <Jymmm> fragalot: Ah, gotcha.
[12:56:44] <Jymmm> Yeah, my bad . your'e right 50 to 100MHz plus unlocks other features too
[12:56:46] <fragalot> I should really upgrade my 1052 to somemthing nicer.. I'm too spoiled at work & now I know the difference, lol
[12:57:33] <Jymmm> skunkworks: https://www.amazon.com
[13:03:06] <skunkworks> Nice!
[13:03:11] <skunkworks> I have looked at them before
[13:04:10] <Jymmm> skunkworks: If you consider one, let me know and I'll get you the unlock stuff before hand.

[14:06:17] <gloops> well maybe panic last minute buying from us could boost our economy heh
[14:07:11] <gloops> i will be surprised if brexit happens this decade though
[14:07:12] <fragalot> i'm doing my part
[14:07:21] <miss0r> don't forget me ;)
[14:07:30] <fragalot> who?
[14:07:41] <miss0r> or any other land rover idiots for that matter !
[14:07:42] <roycroft> some of your hard-core brexiteers are insane, gloops
[14:07:53] <roycroft> they're calling theresa may a communist now!
[14:08:12] <miss0r> so? who are we to say she is not? :D
[14:08:13] <roycroft> calling corbyn a marxist is incorrect, but to be expected
[14:08:20] <roycroft> but calling her a communist is just crazy
[14:08:26] <gloops> they arent hard core brexiteers roycroft, theyre just british politicians, the rest are EU politicians
[14:08:37] <roycroft> everything she's always done, miss0r
[14:08:49] <roycroft> may is the farthest thing from a communist that the world has ever seen
[14:08:53] <gloops> this is a national humiliation
[14:08:59] <miss0r> roycroft: Trying not to get personal here :) I know very little of her.
[14:09:05] <roycroft> it did not need to be, gloops
[14:09:06] <fragalot> gloops: international*
[14:09:11] <roycroft> but yes, it has turned out that way
[14:09:11] <miss0r> the european union should be uprooted anyway
[14:09:25] <roycroft> your parliament are making our congress look competent by comparison :)
[14:09:38] <miss0r> roycroft: wow.. cool it :D
[14:09:51] <fragalot> miss0r: remind me to check my car insurance is valid in DK
[14:09:53] <fragalot> :P
[14:09:54] <miss0r> I'm not saying you are entirely wrong. just offensive :D
[14:09:58] <fragalot> (minor detail)
[14:10:23] <roycroft> i think everyone in the uk, no matter what their politcal bent, agree that this is the worst government and the worst parliament in our lifetimes, at least
[14:10:29] <miss0r> fragalot: It should be.
[14:10:40] -!- togo has joined #linuxcnc
[14:10:41] <gloops> it isnt a british parliament thats why
[14:10:55] <gloops> this is the EU faced with leaving the EU
[14:11:02] <fragalot> roycroft: I mean, they have been given an impossible job
[14:11:06] <gloops> impossible
[14:11:07] <fragalot> that said
[14:11:14] <fragalot> even if the referendum turned out to be 51% remain
[14:11:17] <fragalot> that is still not a good result
[14:11:21] <fragalot> that is a divided country
[14:11:27] <roycroft> as is ours
[14:11:34] <roycroft> and yes, that's a big part of the problem
[14:11:40] <phaxx> mostly a lied-to country, I'd have said.
[14:11:42] <roycroft> but the bigger problem is the same in the uk as in the us
[14:11:55] <gloops> phaxx yes theres been plenty of lying
[14:11:56] <roycroft> the government and the legislature in both countries are self-serving, not serving the people
[14:12:16] <gloops> 108 times in parliament, on camera, May told us we were leavingon March 29
[14:12:17] <miss0r> roycroft: That is the case for most of the democratic world
[14:12:54] <roycroft> well give it a few more days, gloops
[14:13:13] <roycroft> it seems that the prime minister is finally interested in brokering a deal that can actually work
[14:13:19] <miss0r> roycroft: In Denmark we have a term for it, which roughly translates to (work for)food politicians...
[14:13:21] <gloops> roycroft the only way the UK will end up out of the EU is if the EU decide they dont want us
[14:13:28] <roycroft> too bad she didn't get interested until after the brexit deadline
[14:13:58] <gloops> roycroft the problem is she never wanted to leave, we havent even tried to leave
[14:14:13] <roycroft> correct, gloops
[14:14:26] <roycroft> the tories put a remainer in charge of leaving
[14:14:28] <gloops> her deal reads like a surrender treaty
[14:14:36] <roycroft> her deal is stupid
[14:14:59] <roycroft> it's basically staying in the eu but leaving the european parliament
[14:15:11] <roycroft> it makes things even worse than they are now
[14:15:22] <roycroft> and will drive the brexiteers absolutely crazy
[14:15:29] <roycroft> which is why her government are resigning in droves
[14:15:51] <roycroft> she's lost 30 cabinet ministers in her relatively short tenure as pm
[14:15:59] <gloops> nobody ever enters negotiations on the basis that you first must agree to everything the other side wants, and pay up front, before they will even listen to what you want
[14:16:07] <roycroft> and she has cabinet vacancies now that she cannot fill because nobody wants the job
[14:16:10] <gloops> she is absolutely useless
[14:16:44] <roycroft> it's the same problem our president has - he blames democrats for not voting for his appointees, but the truth is that he can't find anyone willing to work for him
[14:17:17] <roycroft> but i must say
[14:17:21] <roycroft> as crazy as things are in the uk
[14:17:28] <roycroft> we are suffering from a much bigger crisis in the us
[14:17:40] <roycroft> we're about to be completely cut off from our avocado supply!
[14:17:44] <gloops> doesnt seem so bad over there roycroft?
[14:17:45] <fragalot> oringes.
[14:17:58] <gloops> your president is orange
[14:18:05] <phaxx> roycroft: nobody needs that haassle.
[14:18:09] <roycroft> all millenials will no longer be able to eat breakfast, because there is no other food for breakfast than avocado on toast!
[14:18:18] <roycroft> they will wither up and die
[14:18:57] <fragalot> roycroft: how old are you?
[14:19:04] <gloops> im sure Quorn will come up with an avocado substitute
[14:19:04] <roycroft> i am a baby boomer
[14:19:06] <fragalot> because it's avocado toast, not avocado ON toast
[14:19:21] <roycroft> and i love avocados
[14:19:27] <gloops> fungi isnt that different to avocado
[14:19:28] <roycroft> but mostly as guacamole
[14:20:01] <jdh> don't tease the obso's
[14:20:04] * roycroft was born before the space age
[14:24:04] <gloops> well, the Lords arent too impressed with the fast tracked anti-no deal bill, still it wont make any difference, the will to leave isnt there

[16:37:01] <gloops> ive tried avocado a couple of times, not unpleasant, but not something id get excited over
[16:37:34] <XXCoder> i want to grow trees that have avocado, but not because i expecially like em, but I like how tree looks like
[16:37:42] <XXCoder> but it cant stand freezing winters. oh well
[16:38:01] <gloops> people do grow stones here, but mainly indoors plants, in conservatory etc

[16:38:36] <Rab> It's a shame to denigrate young people as whimsical millennials. I know some smart, hard-working hustlers in that age bracket.
[16:38:49] <gloops> nice looking tree/bush
[16:39:20] <XXCoder> rab indeed. not only that people is for some reason angry that in general, millenials dont buy houses and cars.
[16:39:24] <gloops> similar to walnut
[16:39:29] <XXCoder> real reason is college debt is crushing
[16:40:00] <XXCoder> college was starting to rise in cost when i was in college, graduated and its more than doubled in cost
[16:40:01] <Rab> Avocados are terrific, on or off toast...the urban fad of paying $9-12 for avocado toast is ridiculous.

[16:44:57] <XXCoder> and 2 can make bunch of toast lol
[16:45:15] <jdh> I like them on salads
[16:46:27] <Rab> XXCoder, seedless avocados? Do they share this disturbing aspect? https://public-media.si-cdn.com

[16:47:38] <gregcnc> anyone make makers marks/ letter stamps. The concept seems simple enough. mill some tool steel with a reasonable draft angle to make the symbol you want
[16:49:24] -!- rmu has joined #linuxcnc
[16:49:29] <gloops> not with steel no
[16:49:34] <Rab> Letter punches are cheap enough. For custom symbols, I might rather etch and harden.
[16:49:54] <gloops> with wood just profile the letter than bevel with a V bit
[16:50:22] <Rab> Although etching a deep relief is its own artful process.
[16:51:07] <syyl> not to hard milling them with a single lip cutter
[16:51:10] <Rab> I've had good results in steel with ferric chloride.
[16:51:33] <syyl> on a decent cnc mill, i would machine it right into a hardened piece of toolsteel
[16:51:41] <syyl> not to be bothered with heat treating it myself
[16:52:53] <gregcnc> syyl, that's what I figure. for aluminum so maybe not need to be too hard
[16:53:15] <syyl> i tend to overbuild ;)
[16:54:43] <gregcnc> seems like it would even be dirt cheap to find someone to make one, but there is no fun in that
[16:57:57] <Tom_L> jthornton, it's gettin there

[16:59:11] <Tom_L> yeah
[16:59:23] <Tom_L> or even create one

[17:14:02] <gloops> just bevelled letters in wood, suppose same thing in hard steel would make a stamp https://ibb.co
[17:14:54] <Tom_L> 60 deg?
[17:15:29] <gloops> yeah, a bit too deep with the 60 degree, but just an example
[17:16:24] <gregcnc> well that bevel distorts the resulting imprint. it's a little tricky
[17:17:30] <gloops> sometimes turns out funny, depending on shape or depth of bevel
[17:18:15] <gloops> you mean when the punch displaces the metal it hits?
[17:18:35] <gregcnc> yes, some of the details dispappear for sure
[17:19:13] <gloops> well i know nothing about the physics of punching
[17:20:10] -!- sumpfralle has joined #linuxcnc
[17:20:31] <gregcnc> just that method of adding the bevel reduced the height of some parts
[17:20:44] <gregcnc> creating the geometry isn't a problem
[17:24:34] <gloops> so if you need a 'point' in all aspects of the punch facing the job, youre going to have some variation in height - where intricate complex lines cross or intersect
[17:26:28] <gregcnc> simply adding a chamfer to extruded fancy text won't work
[17:26:29] <gloops> so..on impact, the raised parts are punching before the lower parts, by the time the lower parts hit, the impact is losing momentum, and they dont cut as effectively
[17:27:14] <gloops> (maybe)
[17:28:19] <gloops> so you cant just round round the profile with a v bit
[17:28:52] <gloops> you need to contruct a 3d model with consistent height, the bevel must vary - not the height
[17:34:05] <gloops> (will check this theory against my letter punches tommorrow, out of curiousity, i wont be making punches)
