04:44 AM Tom_L: morning
05:29 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@> <-- does not want keyboard jog, unless there is some sort of activation lock... cant afford to have a mishap
07:05 AM JT-Cave: morning
07:45 AM JT-Cave: hmm I broke file open... may not have time to sort it out this morning
07:58 AM JT-Cave: fixed
10:25 AM lcnc-relay: <roguish> good morning....
10:31 AM Tom_L: JT-Cave, were you bored?
11:28 AM JT-Mobile: Yo
11:29 AM JT-Mobile: Bored?
11:34 AM Tom_L: yes
11:34 AM Tom_L: bored!
11:34 AM Tom_L: you broke file open just to fix it
11:35 AM JT-Mobile: LOL
11:35 AM Tom_L: i have an improvement to the rigid tap op too
11:35 AM JT-Mobile: I did improve the code while fixing it
11:35 AM JT-Mobile: Cool
11:35 AM Tom_L: i saw something was different
11:35 AM JT-Mobile: Waiting for an oil change
11:37 AM Tom_L: turns out spindle override affects rigid tap so i sandwitched G33.1 between M48 M49 to turn it off and it works great
11:37 AM JT-Mobile: Neat
11:37 AM Tom_L: i could have used M51
11:38 AM Tom_L: for spindle only
11:38 AM JT-Mobile: Does spindle override just slow it down?
11:38 AM Tom_L: M48-9 affect both feed & spindle
11:38 AM Tom_L: it depends on how you have the slider set
11:38 AM Tom_L: could be a percent higher too
11:38 AM Tom_L: i also found a bug
11:39 AM Tom_L: but i forgot to copy the png off the shop pc
11:39 AM Tom_L: i'll go grab it
11:39 AM JT-Mobile: It still makes a proper thread while slow?
11:52 AM Tom_dev: M49 ; disable feed & spindle override during rigid tapping
11:52 AM Tom_dev: G98 G33.1 Z- #2064 K#2066 ; tap to hole depth
11:52 AM Tom_dev: M48 ; Enable feed & spindle override after rigid tapping
11:52 AM Tom_L: the fix
11:52 AM JT-Mobile: I saw a threading video of a guy turning the spindle by hand and it stayed in sync
11:52 AM Tom_L: it tries to follow it but if i go too slow i get a following error
11:52 AM Tom_L: it will
11:52 AM Tom_L: brb.. gonna grab the pic
11:52 AM JT-Mobile: Ah so it's a machine issue
11:52 AM lcnc-relay: <roguish> wow, never really say M48, m49 before.....
11:52 AM lcnc-relay: <roguish> saw
11:53 AM Tom_L: JT-Mobile, http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:443/~webpage/cnc/JT-SHOP/flexgui/spindle_rpm.png
11:53 AM Tom_L: the 1999 is encoder feedback
12:01 PM Tom_L: PR #322 for rigid tap fix
12:05 PM Tom_L: ok, lunch then nap
02:34 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> ok, ride done..... 26 miles. near perfect weather. 68 deg
02:34 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> bit of wind though
02:35 PM rdtsc-w: nice... I'll be reworking the pool hoses and fittings after work; only last a few seasons
02:36 PM Tom_L: light rain here but it has stopped for the moment
02:46 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> https://jauriarts.org/_heisenbridge/media/matrix.org/JrfydjqcXpPQIwvrHVxnhOzn/GnPxU02-ZTA/Pinehurst-coyote.mp4
02:46 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> little company on the ride
03:49 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> Tom_L: hey Tom, you're using .var variables 2000 thru 2120........ do you have, or could you make, a list of what each one is used for ???
04:02 PM Tom_L: it's in the readme
04:33 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> Tom_L: thanks
04:33 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> found 'em
04:34 PM Tom_L: some of the ngc files have a list of vars used in that file
04:34 PM Tom_L: not all of them
04:35 PM Tom_L: i started doing that partway thru writing them and never returned to the rest
04:38 PM Tom_L: looks like i did that mostly on the ops and not so much on probe routines
05:16 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> that's cool. i'll probably be writing my own routines, but it might be ok to stay consistent with your vars
07:07 PM JT-Shop: yo
07:23 PM JT-Shop: use what ever vars make sense to you... I try and group them in groups of 10 or 20 per routine
