[00:12:55] -linuxcnc-github:#linuxcnc-devel- [13linuxcnc] 15SebKuzminsky opened issue #39: ja: Axis GUI DRO "homed" icons wrongness 02https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues/39
[00:23:20] <jepler> https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/another-new-raspbian-release/ now with OpenGL acceleration might actually make AXIS responsive on that thing
[00:24:41] -linuxcnc-github:#linuxcnc-devel- [13linuxcnc] 15SebKuzminsky opened issue #40: ja: surprise switch to World mode when turning on 02https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues/40
[01:10:35] <CaptHindsight> http://www.orangepi.org/orangepione/ quad core A7 board with integrated NIC for $13.77 shipped http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Orange-Pi-One-ubuntu-linux-and-android-mini-PC-Beyond-and-Compatible-with-Raspberry-Pi-2/1553371_32603308880.html
[01:11:10] <CaptHindsight> AXIS was pretty zippy at 1920 x 1080 on the old single core A10
[11:44:00] <skunkworks> so.. Do you need to use a certain rt_preempt for the packaged linuxcnc? or do I have to then build from source if I use a newer rt_preempt
[11:48:56] <mozmck> No, you don't even have to use an rt-preempt kernel
[11:50:00] <skunkworks> cool.
[12:40:00] <skunkworks> that is just cool
[12:40:02] <skunkworks> http://imgur.com/wZUaQSi
[12:40:45] <skunkworks> took me a bit to figure out how to have it install 2.7 when 2.6 rtai was already install
[12:40:49] <skunkworks> installed
[12:44:53] <JT-Shop> nice a 7i80 is it the 7i80HD-16 card?
[12:45:51] <skunkworks> it is an HD - don't know if it is a 16
[12:46:04] <skunkworks> (3 50 pin connectors)
[12:46:22] <JT-Shop> I have one on order to test with but you beat me too it
[12:46:46] <JT-Shop> are you running uspace?
[12:47:26] <skunkworks> yes - I have had this card longer than it was supported :)
[12:47:45] <skunkworks> It initally was tested using rt-net
[12:48:25] <JT-Shop> did you install uspace on the rtai kernel?
[12:49:36] <skunkworks> Yes - This is the livecd - then installed the uspace kernel and the uspace version of 2.7.4
[12:50:20] <JT-Shop> did you keep notes?
[12:50:58] <skunkworks> I pretty much did this
[12:50:59] <skunkworks> http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/getting-started/getting-linuxcnc.html#_installing_on_debian_wheezy_with_preempt_rt_kernel
[12:51:29] <JT-Shop> ok cool
[12:51:40] <skunkworks> but used the synaptic package manager to select 2.7 uspace (then it uninstalled the 2.6 rtai I had on here)
[12:52:07] <JT-Shop> I'm going to have to try that way too
[13:03:45] <seb_kuzminsky> i'm glad that all worked smoothly :-)
[13:08:28] <pcw_home> Note that the Debian Preempt-RT kernel is pretty old (unless they updated it recently) so will be troublesome on newer MBs
[13:28:16] <skunkworks> This is a j1900
[13:29:00] <skunkworks> yes - what ever in the package manager 3.18.9-rt5
[13:29:40] <skunkworks> If I get energetic - I will try a newer version. But a few hours of running axis - no realtime overruns
[13:30:48] <skunkworks> latency settles down around 80us
[13:32:29] <skunkworks> trying to carve out some time once a week to convert the mattsurra
[13:33:07] <skunkworks> using existing drives/spindle drive for as long as they work. Plan on using as much of the estop logic as we can.
[13:48:51] <PCW> Ahh 3.18 is not too bad, the original 3.2 something one would not work on most newer MBs
[17:46:28] <andypugh> Any thoughts on the run-from-line message earlier?
[17:47:36] <andypugh> Is it actually the case that run-from line runs through the code waiting for the line to happen? I can believe that is a Machinekit change, to restore state. (which is a nice idea)
[17:59:11] <seb_kuzminsky> andypugh: yes, that's now run from line works
[17:59:28] <seb_kuzminsky> and has for as long as i've been around, i think
[17:59:32] <seb_kuzminsky> bbl
[17:59:40] <mozmck> yes, and does not work well with subroutines - at least if there is a G38.2 involved.
[18:00:38] <mozmck> I have on my todo list to make a simple run-from-line that just starts at the line.
[18:13:48] <JT-Shop> that makes more sense
