[10:44:34] * seb_kuzminsky comes to
[10:44:38] <seb_kuzminsky> huh? whaa?
[10:44:59] <seb_kuzminsky> sorry, blacked out there for a couple of weeks
[10:45:10] <seb_kuzminsky> did the 2.7 sserial bug get fixed? should i release 2.7.4?
[10:46:56] <pcw_home> Its fixed but I think might need a few minor tweaks
[10:47:37] <pcw_home> in any case its much better
[10:48:57] <jepler> I'm on the road so I won't be doing any tweaking until after the 15th.
[10:49:51] <jepler> .. in the last 2.7 release, if any sserial error is detected, the whole linuxcnc session is toast. at the tip of 2.7, this is fixed. it lets jt run 2.7 on one of his machines where he couldn't before
[10:49:55] <jepler> so I think .. ship it
[10:50:08] <pcw_home> Yeah I think its good enough for a release
[10:51:32] <jepler> (hi seb, pcw)
[10:51:47] <pcw_home> Hi
[10:52:58] <seb_kuzminsky> ok, thanks for fixing it
[10:53:05] <seb_kuzminsky> i'll tr to release this weekend
[10:54:08] <pcw_home> A official release also make is easier for me to diagnose customer problems
[10:54:10] <pcw_home> ( I'm never sure if they have really installed and are running a particular branch )
[10:54:11] <pcw_home>
[10:54:17] <pcw_home> makes it
[10:54:48] <seb_kuzminsky> pcw_home: agreed
[10:55:01] <seb_kuzminsky> about the best you can do when people are running a git version is to ask for their commit sha
[10:55:26] <seb_kuzminsky> an easy way to do that is to ask them to run the get-version-from-git script:
[10:55:32] <seb_kuzminsky> > ./scripts/get-version-from-git
[10:55:32] <seb_kuzminsky> v2.8.0~pre1-ja~joints-axes11~042fbfc
[10:55:52] <seb_kuzminsky> it's what the package building stuff uses to make the debian package version
[10:57:11] <pcw_home> Ahh I'll make a note of that
[11:39:56] <JT-Shop> seb_kuzminsky: Yippie! 2.7.4 soon
[11:48:42] <mozmck> seb_kuzminsky: I got the gantry.comp from hicks, and It is not much different than charles original except he added some instructions for using it.
[11:49:32] <mozmck> I'll try and merge those and send it to you or commit if you think that's good.
[11:50:02] <seb_kuzminsky> mozmck: thanks for taking point on that one
[11:50:33] <seb_kuzminsky> if it's just adding a component, with nothing affecting the build system or anything else, then it can go in 2.6 & we'll merge up
[11:50:57] <seb_kuzminsky> if you feel good about it, just commit; if you want more eyeballs then push it to a feature branch and i'll review it
[11:51:31] <mozmck> Ok, I'll do that. I believe it's pretty well tested, and I'm using it myself.
[11:51:43] <seb_kuzminsky> great
[11:53:50] <mozmck> Here is charles original version before it was converted to icomp:
https://github.com/mozmck/linuxcnc-mirror/commit/98b0e9eca8b1093776c787043c2982a34044b907
[12:02:04] <mozmck> I'm not sure the sample usage hicks added is best off in the comp. Maybe adding a sample config that uses it would be better at some point.
[12:57:00] <JT-Shop> what's the difference between 5i25_7i77x2 and 5i25_7i77x2r?
[12:57:18] <pcw_home> connectors swapped
[12:58:05] <JT-Shop> ah thanks
[12:58:11] <pcw_home> ( so encoders 0..5 and analog out 0..5 are on the 26 pin header )
[12:58:44] <JT-Shop> thanks
[13:00:08] <pcw_home> I rebuilt most of the 5I25 and all of the 7I92 bitfiles to have the filtered UART but I have not zipped/posted them yet
[13:01:13] <pcw_home> BTW we initialize PCI/PCIE cards with DOS as its much faster to boot than linux
[13:01:28] <JT-Shop> do you have the 5i25_7i77x2 handy
[13:01:59] <JT-Shop> I'm setting up a machine to do that and I have DOS 6.6 but don't know if it will run on modern hardware
[13:03:11] <pcw_home> I think I use a Via MB because it boots fast and has PCI and PCIEx1
[13:05:06] <JT-Shop> I seem to recall having a Via MB at one time
[13:06:23] <pcw_home> I can check which one (I fried one recently and bought its kennel mate on ebay)
[13:06:40] <JT-Shop> please do when you get a chance
[13:08:28] <pcw_home> http://freeby.mesanet.com/5i25bitfiles.zip
[13:08:48] <pcw_home> updated bitfiles
[13:09:43] <JT-Shop> thanks, grabbing it now I have a few boards to flash this weekend
[13:11:05] <JT-Shop> the file is broken :(
[13:12:06] <JT-Shop> oh crumb, it's still downloading
[13:14:20] <JT-Shop> and looks like a 7i92 to flash as well...
[13:21:18] <pcw_home> http://freeby.mesanet.com/7i92bitfiles.zip
[13:24:40] <jthornton> hmm, I get a not found with the 7i92 link
[13:26:48] <pcw_home> sorry misplaced them, should be OK now
[13:28:07] <jthornton> I do that too...
[13:34:31] <mozmck> seb_kuzminsky: any comments on the gantry.comp?
[13:34:39] <mozmck> I'm about to push to 2.6 if not.
[13:38:40] <seb_kuzminsky> mozmck: you only linked to the old version?
[13:38:46] <seb_kuzminsky> or did i miss something?
[13:39:04] <mozmck> Yes, that's what I'm using.
[13:39:26] <mozmck> Hicks' changes were to change the icomp back to a comp, and it winds up almost identical
[13:40:20] <mozmck> He added some usage information to the comments, but I think a sample config would be a lot better.
[13:40:48] <seb_kuzminsky> oh, i see
[13:40:49] <mozmck> The stuff he had in the comments was just lines copied from a hal config.
[13:41:12] <seb_kuzminsky> does it just build and work if you drop it into src/hal/components?
[13:41:17] <seb_kuzminsky> if so, go for it
[13:41:21] <mozmck> yep
[13:41:25] <seb_kuzminsky> great
[13:41:38] <KGB-linuxcnc> 03Moses McKnight 052.6 84614f9 06linuxcnc 03src/hal/components/gantry.comp Add gantry.comp from Steinkuehler * 14http://git.linuxcnc.org/?p=linuxcnc.git;a=commitdiff;h=84614f9
[13:41:38] <seb_kuzminsky> & if you merge up, it'll make it into 2.7.4
[13:41:44] <seb_kuzminsky> schweet
[13:42:23] <seb_kuzminsky> i'm glad you attributed clearly, that's real neighborly of you
[13:42:24] <seb_kuzminsky> bbl
[13:42:44] <mozmck> heh, I'm just the committer!
[13:42:55] <mozmck> now I have to remember how to merge up...
[13:45:18] <KGB-linuxcnc> 03Moses McKnight 052.7 4bd9fc5 06linuxcnc Merge branch '2.6' into 2.7 * 14http://git.linuxcnc.org/?p=linuxcnc.git;a=commitdiff;h=4bd9fc5
[14:49:22] <mozmck> jthornton: your store looks nice - I like the OpenCart software better than about any other I've seen.
[15:10:54] <JT-Shop> thanks
[15:11:25] <JT-Shop> I have two stores the other one is at
http://spyderstore.com/
[17:00:04] <Roguish> seen this? looks interesting, for the price....

[19:07:22] <PCW> Preempt-RT 4.4.1.RT5 seems to run well on three of my machines (Core Duo, G3258, I5 laptop)
