[08:24:22] <seb_kuzminsky> skunkworks: :-)
[08:25:57] <skunkworks> seems odd as the ESS is supposed to be a motion card...
[08:27:16] <pcw_home> Maybe Machs somewhat bumpy trajectory planner
[08:29:22] <skunkworks> maybe
[08:29:51] <skunkworks> That is brians 2 year plan - re-write the TP.
[08:32:48] <skunkworks> cradek, did you cnc file the slots? http://timeguy.com/cradek/01432612268
[08:34:26] <archivist> side cutting files for screw heads
[08:35:01] <archivist> using a parallel is cheating :)
[08:36:20] <archivist> what they look like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SWISS-MADE-SCREW-HEAD-SLOT-FILE-WATCHMAKER-JEWELER-TOOL-NEW-SUPER-THIN-/121891989381
[08:39:57] <cradek> yes, screwhead file clamped on top of an adjustable parallel
[08:40:07] <cradek> oh hey it even says that right there
[08:40:23] <cradek> but yeah, it was done by the cnc in a somewhat ridiculous fashion
[08:40:56] <skunkworks> :)
[08:42:10] <cradek> the little sherline has room for gang tooling if the tools are tiny enough
[08:42:41] <cradek> the threading tool was upside-down on the back
[18:11:52] <andypugh> Forum query: Custom M-code return value? Is that easy? I guess you can shell-out to halcmd and setp an analogue input.
[18:12:31] <andypugh> Possibly MDI a #340 = 2204 (or maybe not in Auto mode)
[18:29:51] <skunkworks> andypugh: are you using the gear teeth sensors on your mill?
[18:30:39] <andypugh> No. They are fitted, and I could, but I fitted a resolver as well, and use that.
[18:34:07] <skunkworks> we drilled a hole for an index but the sensor doesn't act as expected
[18:45:10] <andypugh> I have a screw as an index, and that works
[18:45:35] <andypugh> Put a rod / screw / lump in the hole and see if that works?
[19:08:09] <skunkworks> sure
