12:43 AM mrec: netgen another genius project on macos, requiring root to compile
12:43 AM mrec: no one ever asked to install that application during compile time
01:10 AM Deejay: moin
01:58 AM lcnc-relay: <meisterdippel> moin
02:27 AM mrec: finally all good my freecad is cooking on MacOS sonoma, hopefully I can make milling paths soon
02:28 AM mrec: I'd like to evaluate the trochoidal code to see how difficult it will be to change zillions of g1 to g2/3
04:11 AM JT-Cave: morning
04:11 AM Tom_L: morning
04:21 AM Tom_L: i'm about 98% tested on the probe routines
04:23 AM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:443/~webpage/cnc/JT-SHOP/flexgui/touch-probe2/
04:23 AM Tom_L: latest ui and subs
04:23 AM Tom_L: not quite ready to push them
04:30 AM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> Morning
06:48 AM JT-Cave: looks like I'm going to be down to two hens this morning
07:23 AM Tom_L: :/
07:28 AM JT-Cave: I "think" probe enable disable is correct now
07:28 AM Tom_L: i'll check when i get back
11:42 AM lcnc-relay: <roguish> JT-Cave: oh, what's going on? chickies old, or sick, ..?
11:43 AM JT-Shop: she had internal issues and I had to put her down to stop the suffering
11:43 AM lcnc-relay: <roguish> too bad..... good chicky
11:46 AM lcnc-relay: <roguish> forecast for 99 today......... good thing I just did my ride early
11:51 AM lcnc-relay: <roguish> gotta go pickup my truck trailor hitch I loaned to a friend.... bbl
11:52 AM roycroft: it's going to be hot here, too
11:52 AM roycroft: and i have siding to install on my shed after work
11:52 AM roycroft: i'm going to try to get some of that done lunch ime
11:52 AM roycroft: time
12:47 PM rdtsc-wk: swamped with work stuff here, although it's cool and rainy
01:08 PM roycroft: we're due for a wee bit of rain tomorrow
01:08 PM roycroft: and then the weather will be more seasonable - much cooler, and occasional clouds
01:12 PM xxcoder: mist rain here
01:14 PM roycroft: that makes sense
01:14 PM roycroft: it's rainy in vancouver bc today
01:14 PM roycroft: misty there
01:14 PM roycroft: and we'll get some tomorrow
01:38 PM rdtsc-wk: hope you get that siding on without getting wet
02:17 PM xxcoder: very sunny here now lol
02:17 PM xxcoder: which is great, need to go to dump, donate stuff at 2 different places
02:55 PM roycroft: this weekend i'm going to make several trips to the dump/recycling center
02:55 PM roycroft: i have a huge trash and recycling pile on the vacant lot next to the old house
02:55 PM roycroft: i want to make it a small pile or a no pile this weekend
02:57 PM Tom_L: JT-Shop, probing_enable_pb looks better
03:18 PM rdtsc-wk: absolute downpour, internet blinked out, now tornado warning... that's enough excitement for one tuesday.
03:28 PM JT-Shop: Tom_L, thanks for checking
04:00 PM Tom_L: few more checks on the subs but i think they're pretty close
04:00 PM Tom_L: took the nieces to the zoo this PM now i'm pooped
04:01 PM JT-Shop: I'm prob going to rework the enable/disable as it's a bit of a kludge atm
04:01 PM Tom_L: may get a spare probe too
04:02 PM JT-Shop: wow
04:02 PM Tom_L: i had a small mishap with it and well, it's not new anymore
04:02 PM Tom_L: not that bad but still
04:03 PM Tom_L: gotta be careful testing metric subs on an inch config
04:04 PM Tom_L: their numbers aren't as big as ours.. i think they got cheated
04:04 PM JT-Shop: easier to cypher metric
04:05 PM JT-Shop: did you bend the prob stylus?
04:06 PM Tom_L: i'm not sure but it was close
04:06 PM Tom_L: i'm sure it tweaked a bit
04:07 PM JT-Shop: I had to dig out my steering wheel puller which was last used on my 81 C10 Custom Deluxe
04:07 PM Tom_L: https://www.carbideprobes.com/
04:07 PM Tom_L: they likely have one but it might be just as easy getting another cheap probe
04:08 PM JT-Shop: is that probe 5v?
04:09 PM Tom_L: 5-24
04:09 PM JT-Shop: great
04:09 PM Tom_L: i'm running it at 5v
04:09 PM JT-Shop: my I/O is 24v
04:09 PM Tom_L: since it's going straight into the fpga
04:10 PM Tom_L: i'll probably test them all this evening
04:11 PM JT-Shop: one guy on the forum says he uses flex and thinks it's a great project
04:13 PM Tom_L: 3 wires, NPN-NO 3 wires: Red-VCC (DC5-24V power);Yellow: IO/ Signal Output;Black- GND(DCM); Indicator light: green light when power on, red light after triggering
04:14 PM Tom_L: but we knew that already :)
04:15 PM Tom_L: when is yours arriving?
04:15 PM JT-Shop: is the signal + or -?
04:15 PM Tom_L: + iirc
04:16 PM Tom_L: net touch-probe hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.gpio.028.in => motion.probe-input
04:16 PM JT-Shop: the probe is in route from somewhere
04:17 PM Tom_L: worked on a direct fpga pin
04:17 PM Tom_L: but fpga is reverse logic from most io boards
04:17 PM Tom_L: so it might be in_not
04:18 PM Tom_L: i had a pulldown on added on the line before i got it and it doesn't need it
04:20 PM Tom_L: just checked.. i am using the in_not signal
04:20 PM * JT-Shop goes to pull the steering wheel hub off... I think
04:44 PM JT-Shop: the horn does work when I finally got down to the contact which is not connected to the horn switch
04:56 PM Tom_L: :)
05:07 PM roycroft: we just set a record high for the day
05:07 PM roycroft: and i have to go out and work on the shed now :(
05:08 PM JT-Shop: 75° here
06:05 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> beat ya, 95 here
06:11 PM bjorkintosh: winning lottery numbers?
06:13 PM * JT-Shop calls it a night
06:16 PM roycroft: 35 here, which is 95 in parochial units
06:17 PM * roycroft has one sheet of siding installed, but came inside to cool off a bit before tackling the next one
06:17 PM roycroft: i have three to go
06:17 PM roycroft: if i pace myself and come inside for cooling off breaks between them, i might get them all installed today
06:17 PM roycroft: and then it's on to roofing, which i'll do tomorrow, in the rain
06:17 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> roycroft: put a handfull of ice in you shorts...
06:18 PM roycroft: i'm actually rather pleased - the power bill hardly went up last month, when i started using the ac a lot
06:18 PM roycroft: i hope that means it won't go way up in the winter
06:19 PM roycroft: heat pumps are wicked efficient
06:19 PM * roycroft has cooled off enough, and heads out to go back to work
06:23 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> roycroft: ya gotta watch you heatpump in the cold. they can easily frost up. depends upon the heatpump of course, and the temperature, and dew point temperature.
06:53 PM -!- #linuxcnc mode set to +v by ChanServ
06:55 PM xxcoder: dumpy stuff has been dumped, useless stuff has been donated, useless electrics has been donated to recycle center
06:57 PM rdtsc_away is now known as rdtsc
07:40 PM * roycroft waits again for the compressor to build pressure
07:40 PM roycroft: the penultimate panel is ready to install, when the compressor is
07:40 PM roycroft: and it's the one with the door opening, so a lot of extra cuts
07:41 PM * roycroft is quite sure he'll finish tonight, unless something goes terribly amiss

08:06 PM Tom_dev: after running the mdi command it freezes for a while
08:11 PM Tom_dev: jog buttons jog a bit, mdi command freezes for a bit
08:12 PM Tom_dev: like 5-10 min

08:14 PM Tom_dev: Unloading hal components
08:17 PM Tom_dev: same config with axis display: http://paste.debian.net/1330334/
08:17 PM Tom_dev: for comparison
08:17 PM * roycroft waits for the compressor one last time
08:18 PM roycroft: it's down to 31 degrees, so that helps
08:18 PM roycroft: and the sun is almost gone
08:19 PM roycroft: there is a 1250m mountain to the west of here
08:19 PM roycroft: so the sun goes down pretty early
08:25 PM rdtsc is now known as rdtsc_away
08:44 PM roycroft: yay! the siding is done!
08:45 PM roycroft: and it's not even dark yet - just darkish
08:45 PM roycroft: i could have started on the roof, but i think i can get it all done tomorrow
08:46 PM roycroft: i still have to make the door, but i can move stuff in before that's done
08:46 PM xxcoder: nice
08:47 PM roycroft: yeah
08:47 PM roycroft: and the updated forecast calls for 1mm of rain tomorrow, and only a 30% chance of that
08:47 PM roycroft: so i may not have to install the roof in the rain
09:12 PM xxcoder: hopefully so
09:41 PM roycroft: i still have to figure out power for the shed
09:42 PM roycroft: but i want to arrange everything in there first
