04:33 AM Tom_L: morning
05:17 AM JT-Cave: morning
06:41 AM JT-Cave: so axis Missing required specifier (has linear joint or axis):
06:41 AM JT-Cave: [DISPLAY]MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY
06:41 AM JT-Cave: or [TRAJ]MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY
06:42 AM JT-Cave: but emc does not require it
09:14 AM Tom_L: emc doesn't require which?
09:35 AM JT-Cave: [DISPLAY]MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY or [TRAJ]MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY
09:35 AM JT-Cave: seems that's a gui requirement
09:35 AM Tom_L: oh
09:36 AM Tom_L: so emc gets what it needs from [JOINT]
09:36 AM Tom_L: or [AXIS]
09:38 AM JT-Cave: check_config:
09:38 AM JT-Cave: Unspecified [JOINT_0]MAX_VELOCITY, default used: 1.0
09:38 AM JT-Cave: Unspecified [AXIS_X]MAX_VELOCITY, default used: 1.0
09:38 AM JT-Cave: emc wants both, if I comment them out I get this ^ in the terminal
09:39 AM Tom_L: i think i remember that
09:39 AM Tom_L: [AXIS] requires minimal entries now but still needs them
09:39 AM Tom_L: iirc like 4 entries
09:40 AM Tom_L: limits & max vel and accel i believe
09:40 AM JT-Cave: minimum for [AXIS_X]
09:40 AM JT-Cave: [AXIS_X]
09:40 AM JT-Cave: TYPE = LINEAR
09:40 AM JT-Cave: MAX_VELOCITY = 1
09:40 AM JT-Cave: MAX_ACCELERATION = 10
09:40 AM JT-Cave: MIN_LIMIT = 0
09:40 AM JT-Cave: MAX_LIMIT = 10
09:41 AM Tom_L: mine doesn't have TYPE in it
09:41 AM Tom_L: and it doesn't complain
09:41 AM Tom_L: joint does
09:47 AM JT-Cave: thanks, just removed that from minimal
09:47 AM Tom_L: :)
09:48 AM JT-Cave: time to work on the trailing arm
09:49 AM Tom_L: how's that going?
10:12 AM JT-MShop: just got the last bits off of the trailing arm so ready to blast and paint
10:32 AM rdtsc: just powered on main linux machine and had a weird bugcheck kernel... reboot and seems fine? hope your refinishing is less eventful :)
10:44 AM JT-Shop: well I just cleaned the window so now I need to let it dry before resuming blasting
10:48 AM rdtsc: wonder if plastic cling-wrap would work as a covering for them
10:52 AM JT-Shop: the window?
10:52 AM rdtsc: yeah, stick it on the window, maybe with a squeegie, do the blasting, then peel it off... single use lens protector
10:53 AM JT-Shop: plastic would get messed up fast
10:53 AM JT-Shop: I have a window screen in front of the window that stops most of the flying bits
10:54 AM JT-Shop: and the glass is a tempered glass shelf that came in a pack of 5 IIRC
10:54 AM JT-Shop: I'm still using the first one
10:54 AM JT-Shop: the glass just gets dusty after a while and needs to be cleaned
10:55 AM JT-Shop: I have an air gun inside that I blow it off with
10:57 AM rdtsc: ever try wet-blasting, aka vapor honing?
10:58 AM JT-Shop: no, I've read about it once...
10:58 AM rdtsc: me either but those that have used seem to never go back to dry
10:59 AM JT-Shop: gotta go cut up a tree after my nap, turns out he is friends with my old business partner and another friend
11:02 AM rdtsc: sillca dust and chainsaws both in one day? be careful
11:03 AM JT-Shop: I use coal slag
11:03 AM JT-Shop: you can't even buy blasting sand anymore
11:03 AM rdtsc: doubt that is any better :
11:04 AM JT-Shop: do you mean from a health standpoint?
11:21 AM rdtsc: yeah, coal is some wycked stuff... used to burn it for heat as a kid
11:25 AM lcnc-relay: <roguish> good morning.....
11:25 AM rdtsc: morning bikemaster :)
11:26 AM lcnc-relay: <roguish> JT-Shop: joined a group ride yesterday. 7 gals and me. 47 miles, near 3000' of climbing.... 4 hr ride.....wupped my ass....
