01:45 AM lcnc-relay: <turboss@discord> 🙂
01:47 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> backup-log
01:47 AM backup-log: lcnc-relay: Today's Log https://www.tjfhome.net/irclog/%23linuxcnc/2024-10-21.html
01:48 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> i think JT will be happier now that his flex channel is fully bridged 🙂
01:49 AM lcnc-relay: <turboss@discord> oh log replies to the bot
01:49 AM lcnc-relay: <turboss@discord> 🤔
01:49 AM lcnc-relay: <turboss@discord> should be okay
01:49 AM lcnc-relay: <turboss@discord> 😄
01:49 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> there are two loggers
01:50 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> there is c-log and backup-log, just in case
01:50 AM lcnc-relay: <turboss@discord> 👍
04:31 AM JT-Cave: morning
04:39 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> JT, did you see the flex-dev <-> matrix <-> discord bridge is fully open? 🙂 turboss was busy
04:40 AM JT-Cave: yes I did
04:48 AM Tom_L: morning
05:14 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> PR #151, added HAL QLCDNumber
06:21 AM JT-Cave: did you test that it worked?
06:24 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> no linux computer inside, that's why i said to see that i did it correctly. will test as soon as i can get out to my machine. why, does it look wrong?
06:25 AM JT-Cave: I'm not saying...
06:26 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> it looked to me like it would, based on your other code...
06:26 AM JT-Cave: test it :)
06:27 AM Tom_L: better to test code before pushing to mainstream
06:27 AM Tom_L: it's bitten more than once
06:27 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> duely noted...
06:28 AM lcnc-relay: <meisterdippel@discord> do it like microsoft, teste is in production 🙂
06:29 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> as soon as i finish breakfast and coffee 🙂
06:29 AM lcnc-relay: <meisterdippel@discord> * test it
06:38 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> <-- heads out to the bitter cold to test 🙂
06:42 AM JT-Cave: you started it not me :)
06:54 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> ok, i cloned my repo on my linuxcnc machine, how do i make a deb to install it easier?
06:59 AM JT-Cave: look in flexgui/info/notes.txt
07:01 AM Tom_L: you ready for a deb yet?
07:05 AM JT-Cave: wait until travis is done fixing his pr
07:05 AM Tom_L: ok
07:06 AM JT-Cave: travis I just added my build script that I use with the names changed to protect the innocent
07:07 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> good, because i just built a arm64, not a amd64 🙂
07:07 AM JT-Cave: are you using a rpi?
07:08 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> nope
07:08 AM JT-Cave: how did you build an arm64?
07:09 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> debuild -us -uc
07:10 AM Tom_L: that won't build an rpi deb unless you add some crossbuild parameters
07:10 AM JT-Cave: that should build a deb for the type of pc your using
07:10 AM JT-Cave: that's what I thought
07:10 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> flexgui_1.0.1_arm64.deb
07:10 AM Tom_L: jt i didn't look at your script
07:11 AM Tom_L: see if it loads on an rpi
07:11 AM Tom_L: :)
07:11 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> i don't have one handy 🙂
07:18 AM -!- #linuxcnc mode set to +v by ChanServ
07:18 AM -!- #linuxcnc mode set to +v by ChanServ
07:18 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> ok, deb built and installed... lets see...
07:20 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> i seee......
07:22 AM Tom_L: when you test things, you don't just see if they work. i try very hard to break them
07:22 AM Tom_L: the end is a good product
07:23 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> yes, i made some errors...
07:24 AM Tom_L: JT-Cave, may not be around much today
07:25 AM Tom_L: spent yesterday AM in the ER and getting a root canal today
07:25 AM JT-Cave: oh what fun
07:26 AM Tom_L: they wouldn't do it on the 11th due to high BP
07:26 AM Tom_L: so i fixed one leak and hopefully they can patch another one
07:26 AM Tom_L: face looks like a balloon
07:27 AM JT-Cave: holy crap
07:27 AM Tom_L: 2 rounds of antibiotics
07:27 AM Tom_L: including an iv
07:27 AM JT-Cave: travis I reverted the pr so you will have to start a new one when you get it to work and you've tested all types of hal pins for errors
07:27 AM Tom_L: i'll be fine.. born with this problem
07:28 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> 'QLCDNumber' object has no attribute 'setText'
07:28 AM lcnc-relay: but you used setText() in other areas for the LCD???
07:28 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> ok
07:29 AM JT-Cave: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qlcdnumber.html
07:29 AM JT-Cave: a good place to start reading
07:54 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> got it working with a float... finding a way to test other types...
07:58 AM JT-Cave: did you change the hal value and observe the lcd changing?
07:59 AM JT-Cave: use hal show to change pin values
08:05 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> yes, i used my spindle rpm to set a change
08:07 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> S32 works...
08:09 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> U32 works...
08:11 AM rdtsc_away is now known as rdtsc
08:12 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> BIT is a little funky, but sorta works...
08:14 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> https://jauriarts.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/jauriarts.org/ZAzBsqeAVszbXzseDiApZbCn/Screenshot_from_2024-10-21_09-06-05.png
08:14 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> https://jauriarts.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/jauriarts.org/XRwMdjrkJqJiSHBPkKAIFryt/Screenshot_from_2024-10-21_09-06-29.png
08:17 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> what do you think i should do there? i mean, bit LCD will rarely be used, but just in case...
08:18 AM rdtsc: Dang Tom, rest up and take care of yourself!
08:19 AM rdtsc: JT, did you see, when I try to open a gcode file, linuxcnc crashes?
08:19 AM JT-Cave: no, I missed that
08:20 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> i just now opened a G-code file and it opened fine...
08:21 AM rdtsc: getting an UnboundLocalError: cannot access 'gcode_dir'
08:21 AM JT-Cave: rdtsc, if I'm not around post the error on #flex-dev so I won't miss it due to traffic here
08:21 AM JT-Cave: I need the exact error
08:21 AM rdtsc: k, fetching
08:22 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> JT: what do you think about the BIT LCD?
08:23 AM JT-Cave: travis I don't think you should allow a bit for lcd it doesn't make sense
08:23 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> ok, how do i disable it then 😉
08:25 AM JT-Cave: and I should test for valid hal types as well
08:26 AM JT-Cave: put valid hal types in a list and test in list
08:28 AM rdtsc: JT, https://paste.debian.net/1332944/
08:35 AM JT-Cave: ok
08:35 AM rdtsc: Also may have found a fix for Read the Docs not searching: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52474177/read-the-docs-search-broken
08:35 AM JT-Cave: DISPLAY", "PROGRAM_PREFIX
08:35 AM JT-Cave: do you have that set
08:36 AM * JT-Cave is running late to start his chicken day
08:37 AM rdtsc: [DISPLAY]
08:37 AM rdtsc: PROGRAM_PREFIX = ../nc_files/
08:37 AM JT-Cave: hmm didn't test for ../
08:37 AM rdtsc: lightbulb moment :)
08:37 AM JT-Cave: ok I'll test and fix a bit later
08:38 AM rdtsc: awesome ty
08:39 AM JT-Cave: for right now use ~/linuxcnc/nc_files
08:40 AM rdtsc: that was certainly spot-on, running motors again :
08:48 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> JT: i have it so it disables HAL_BIT (and tested), not with a list, as i wasn't sure how to do that. want the PR?
08:50 AM rdtsc: https://pasteboard.co/OXTgHIlOvggk.png 2019 :)
09:07 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> <-- butt has gone numb from the chair, heading inside...
09:10 AM JT-Cave: pull to see how I tested for valid hal types for a spinbox
09:21 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> ok, i see. that looks easy enough 🙂
09:29 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> let me head back out to verify, and then i will make my PR 🙂
09:44 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> PR #152 up for review
09:48 AM JT-Cave: there are file conflicts
09:49 AM JT-Cave: easy way to fix them is to rename your local clone dir and pull a fresh copy then copy and paste the changes
09:53 AM JT-Shop: pull = clone
10:33 AM rdtsc: Travis, did you link your linuxcnc config to github prior to 2021? Because nowadays it won't use password authentication...
10:36 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> yes
10:42 AM rdtsc: forces using an insanely-long key or SSH
10:44 AM * roycroft rarely uses passwords these days - ssh keys are much more secure and easier
10:47 AM rdtsc: ssh gets complex fast... https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/troubleshooting-ssh/error-permission-denied-publickey
10:56 AM JT-Shop: when doing a pr you want to pull before doing it to make sure there are no conflicts
11:03 AM rdtsc: got it... rpi4 config now on gh
11:17 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> JT: i "think" i fixed the PR
11:18 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> i did pull before doing it, but you made commits in the mean-time that messed me up (i think) 🙂 figured out how to merge on github
11:20 AM JT-Cave: code looks good just missing the documentation
11:21 AM JT-Cave: did you test out the precision part?
11:24 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> yes
11:24 AM JT-Cave: cool
11:24 AM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> i don't know how to do sphinx docs 😦
11:25 AM rdtsc: I tried... must use sphynx to test (not recommended)
11:25 AM JT-Cave: time to learn...
11:26 AM JT-Cave: pay attention to indentation and use tabs not spaces
11:27 AM JT-Cave: in the docs directory do make html to check for errors
11:29 AM roycroft: so my kittens chewed through both of my power adapters for my laptop last week
11:29 AM roycroft: i ordered a couple replacments
11:30 AM JT-Cave: were they plugged in?
11:30 AM roycroft: they were shipped to eugene, sent to portland, sent back to eugene, and this morning they were sent back to portland
11:30 AM roycroft: i have no idea when they will arrive
11:30 AM roycroft: yes, they were plugged in
11:30 AM JT-Cave: shocking
11:30 AM roycroft: the kittens chewed on the low voltage section
11:30 AM * JT-Cave heads for town
11:30 AM roycroft: i have a pile of 120v cords for them
11:31 AM roycroft: there's an article on the local npr website today about mail delivery
11:31 AM roycroft: a neighborhood just west of where i used to live has not had any mail delivered in over a week
11:32 AM roycroft: the post office says there are pallets of mail for that neighborhood, but they are short-staffed, and nobody is available to deliver the mail
11:32 AM roycroft: which includes those people's ballots
11:33 AM roycroft: the regional post office in seattle says there is no mail that is queued up like that, but the local post office says there are "pallets of mail" sitting in the back, waiting for someone to deliver
11:33 AM roycroft: and that they are "aggressively recruiting" for new letter carriers
11:33 AM rdtsc: roycroft, I ordered some packages two weeks ago USPS for the midwest. Checking what is taking so long, see where it has been circling around Detroit for the past three days... wtf
11:34 AM roycroft: seems it's time to pay some overtime to existing employees, but the postmaster general has forbidden all overtime
11:34 AM roycroft: it's really simple
11:34 AM roycroft: louis dejoy ownes a huge logistics company
11:34 AM roycroft: he sees the usps as a competetor
11:35 AM roycroft: so he's trying to destroy the competition, and as postmaster general, he is in a position to do a lot of damage to the usps
11:35 AM roycroft: and technically, he no longer owns the logistics company
11:35 AM roycroft: he had to put it in a trust of some sort when he became postmaster general
11:36 AM roycroft: but there is not a sentient being in the universe who would think he will not go back to actively running his logistics company starting the nanosecond he is no longer postmaster general, whenever that day comes
11:37 AM roycroft: circling parcels is a big part of the strategy
11:37 AM roycroft: we had a really low voter turnout for the non-profit election this year - down about 50% from last year
11:38 AM roycroft: i anticipate we'll get hundreds of ballots returned over the next two weeks
11:38 AM roycroft: ballots that were mailed well before the deadline
11:38 AM rdtsc: what he's doing should be illegal and punishable in a court
11:39 AM roycroft: yes
11:39 AM roycroft: i don't know why he's still postmaster general
11:39 AM roycroft: he was appointed by tfg
11:40 AM roycroft: and there were not enough people on the board of governors to remove him
11:40 AM roycroft: tfg did not appoint any new governors purposely
11:40 AM roycroft: but biden did, and now there are enough, yet dejoy is still postmaster general
11:41 AM roycroft: and he has accelerated his destruction of the postal service
11:42 AM roycroft: the right wing say the government has no business delivering mail - it should be left to the private sector
11:42 AM roycroft: yet our constitition, which they claim to worship, stipulates that the government will establish a post office
11:43 AM roycroft: it is the only act of commerce that is listed in the constitution
11:43 AM roycroft: and it's in the original constitution, enacted even before the precious second amendment, which was the last legitimate change to the constitution in their eyes
11:44 AM * roycroft is done ranting about the post office for the day, but does hope that it gets fixed soon
11:44 AM rdtsc: ditto
11:45 AM rdtsc is now known as rdtsc_away
12:14 PM Tom_L: roycroft, replacement kittens or power adapters?
12:23 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@discord> just got a email from school.. My sons class has had cases of Influenza B. In the district, cases of pneumonia, whooping cough,
12:23 PM lcnc-relay: strep and COVID-19.
12:23 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@discord> yay
12:23 PM Tom_L: how fun
12:23 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> sounds like a whooping good time
12:37 PM * roycroft needs to see if the local pharmacy has covid-19 vaccines in stock again
12:37 PM roycroft: they seem to run out minutes after receiving every batch
12:38 PM roycroft: i suspect they don't have the deep freezer required to store them, so only order what they're sure to us up every day
12:39 PM roycroft: i've been holding off on my flu vaccine until i can get the covid-19 one at the same time, but perhaps i should just go ahead and get the former
01:22 PM Tom_L: JT-Cave, i'll build when i get back from the hardware store unless you say to wait
01:33 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> he hasn't pulled mine yet
01:47 PM -!- #linuxcnc mode set to +v by ChanServ
02:27 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> <-- is feeling rather like somebody took the wind out of his sails...
02:28 PM rdtsc_away is now known as rdtsc
02:29 PM rdtsc: better to be duck-like, methinks
02:29 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> ???
02:29 PM rdtsc: rain sheds off ducks :)
02:31 PM rdtsc: just renamed a bunch of important photos, and PCManFM assumed "20221019-172345.jpg" was a math instruction... resulting file names "-182563454745735357454534.jpg"
02:32 PM xxcoder: ouch hopefully that wasnt bunch of math resulting in same number
02:32 PM xxcoder: after all 3-4 and 1-2 would both result in -1
02:33 PM rdtsc: different number... but now have to look at exif data to get the date again...
02:50 PM Tom_L: kinda cool, got to watch doc cnc my new tooth :)
02:51 PM xxcoder: nice
02:58 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> did he let you convert the CNC to LinuxCNC? 😉
03:04 PM JT-Cave: travis nice work
03:04 PM JT-Cave: in sphinx the note syntax is .. note:: Some note
03:05 PM JT-Cave: note the space after .. and ::
03:05 PM JT-Cave: pretty good for your first try at spinx
03:05 PM * JT-Cave heads to work
03:06 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> 😄
03:07 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:443/~webpage/cnc/JT-SHOP/flexgui/desktop_cnc.mp4
03:09 PM Tom_L: took about 20 min
03:10 PM JT-Shop: cool
03:11 PM Tom_L: one more on friday :/
03:16 PM JT-Shop: 48" x 37" x 16" enclosure is in the back of the truck
03:16 PM Tom_L: better find a forklift
03:17 PM JT-Shop: empty weight is 200 pounds and I'm resourceful
03:17 PM Tom_L: #153 deb
03:17 PM Tom_L: same here
03:17 PM Tom_L: will/way
03:21 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> "resourceful"... sounds like me when i moved my machine into it's current location... i still hurt my back pretty bad...
03:28 PM rdtsc: JT probably has an authentic Omish block-and-tackle (or maybe just some duct tape and pencil leads) just for this purpose :)
03:29 PM rdtsc: pretty amazing Tom - guess two heads are better than one :)
03:38 PM * JT-Shop burns a small mountain of boxes
03:40 PM lcnc-relay: <travis_farmer@discord> <-- adds a small mountain of LCD hal pins to his UI 🙂
04:00 PM xxcoder: ugggh cold here lol. was forced to use dry mode as humidity was over 80%
04:00 PM xxcoder: but drying mode makes air much colder
04:06 PM xxcoder: wow very effective. 55% already
04:18 PM JT-Cave: Tom_L, thanks
04:19 PM rdtsc: cool air hold less moisture than hot air
04:19 PM xxcoder: well yes olviously.
04:19 PM rdtsc: like, the ratio is non-linear
04:21 PM rdtsc: https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/maximum-moisture-content-air-d_1403.html
04:22 PM xxcoder: look, youre not telling me anything new
04:41 PM Tom_L: JT-Cave, travis get his led sorted?
04:41 PM Tom_L: lcd
04:42 PM JT-Shop: yup and added them to the docs :)
04:42 PM Tom_L: haven't looked yet
04:43 PM Tom_L: on precision, is zero a valid value?
04:44 PM JT-Shop: yup
04:44 PM Tom_L: just drops the decimals somewhat like an int
04:44 PM JT-Shop: yup
04:45 PM Tom_L: i started to try that but it was before you added precision to floats
04:45 PM JT-Shop: I use a f format
04:45 PM Tom_L: then went another way and haven't been back to it since
04:45 PM Tom_L: due to life :)
04:45 PM JT-Shop: understand
04:46 PM JT-Shop: at least flex development is slowing down now and becoming more stable
04:46 PM Tom_L: alot less pain than i expected though
04:46 PM Tom_L: yup
04:46 PM JT-Shop: the tooth?
04:46 PM Tom_L: yep
04:46 PM Tom_L: got one more on friday
04:48 PM JT-Shop: it takes me months to get used to dental work
04:48 PM Tom_L: once he poked a hole he said alot of the infection came out
04:48 PM Tom_L: my face started going somewhat back to normal
04:48 PM JT-Shop: that's good
04:49 PM xxcoder: nice
04:49 PM Tom_L: i hadn't been in years due to childhood experiences
04:49 PM Tom_L: i must say it's come a long ways
04:49 PM JT-Shop: I've almost got a spot cleared for the enclosure to land
04:49 PM Tom_L: still on the truck?
04:50 PM JT-Shop: yup
04:50 PM Tom_L: you know.... if you back up real quick and slam on the brakes...
04:51 PM JT-Shop: you have to keep it under 100 though
04:52 PM Tom_L: may be a bit hard for you
04:52 PM JT-Shop: I think I'll just do it the slow careful way
04:52 PM Tom_L: i would too.. just sayin
04:53 PM roycroft: i have a broken tooth that needs extraction by an oral surgeon
04:53 PM Tom_L: oh that reminded me of the last guy i saw...
04:53 PM xxcoder: hey roy, need to talk with you on planning to meet
04:53 PM roycroft: i've needed to get that done since early this year, but the nearest oral surgeon that is in-network is 2 hours away from here
04:53 PM Tom_L: we saw part of the tooth on the xray he didn't get removed
04:53 PM roycroft: and they told me that i can't drive home after the procedure, so i'd have to spend the night in that town
04:54 PM roycroft: i just haven't had time to deal with that
04:54 PM Tom_L: not after a surgical procedure
04:54 PM roycroft: sure, xxcoder - when are you planning on coming down to pdx?
04:54 PM lcnc-relay: <watch_wes_work@discord> Is this an appropriate place to ask technical questions or should that be done on the forum?
04:54 PM roycroft: i think for me it would have to be after november 8, and a weekend would be best
04:54 PM xxcoder: in a week or two, youre far more busier guy than I am, so plan would be more around you than me
04:55 PM Tom_L: watch_wes how technical?
04:55 PM Tom_L: ask away
04:55 PM roycroft: i may be taking a vacation week next week
04:55 PM roycroft: and i could possibly head up on a weekday then, but i'm not sure
04:55 PM Tom_L: we just gab alot when you don't need help
04:55 PM roycroft: if i take the vacation week it would be so i could try to completely finish my move
04:55 PM xxcoder: ok, pm me to plan
04:55 PM roycroft: ok, i need to clear things with my boss first, and i can't do that until tomorrow
04:56 PM xxcoder: 👍
04:56 PM Tom_L: watch_wes, we can likely help
04:56 PM roycroft: asking questions is fine
04:56 PM roycroft: asking if one can ask questions may be frowned upon :)
04:56 PM xxcoder: yep ask away!
04:56 PM roycroft: taking offense if you ask a question and nobody answers is your problem, not ours
04:57 PM JT-Shop: lol
04:57 PM lcnc-relay: <watch_wes_work@discord> I'm trying to control a hydraulic cylinder position using a servo driven gear pump. Not sure how to handle the position loop. There would be a linear scale on the cylinder.
04:58 PM Tom_L: use the scale obviously for feedback and maybe a pid loop
04:58 PM JT-Shop: I think skunkworks has a machine with hydraulic axes
04:58 PM Tom_L: alot of those old ones did
04:59 PM Tom_L: i'm not sure what sort of control valve setup they use
04:59 PM JT-Shop: I "think" the control valve is a bit different than a normal valve
04:59 PM Tom_L: it would be
04:59 PM JT-Shop: I've seen one and that's the end of my guesspertice
04:59 PM Tom_L: maybe a directional 'push pull' type valve
05:00 PM Tom_L: same here
05:00 PM lcnc-relay: <watch_wes_work@discord> I see several options: use a servo drive that can take and external encoder input and do everything in the drive, use LinuxCNC and do position with the scale and run the drive in torque or velocity mode, or hack something together with an MCU to output step/direction to a drive based on scale position.
05:01 PM Tom_L: not one i have hands on experience with
05:01 PM Tom_L: you _could_ also try the forum
05:01 PM Tom_L: different set of ppl for the most part
05:02 PM lcnc-relay: <watch_wes_work@discord> OK. Figured I'd find the hardcore folks on Discord.
05:02 PM Tom_L: no you go to irc for that :)
05:02 PM JT-Shop: lol
05:02 PM Tom_L: heh
05:03 PM Tom_L: check back, maybe someone will know
05:07 PM lcnc-relay: <watch_wes_work@discord> Just out of curiosity, is there any plan to add a real G84 rigid tapping cycle? Seems like all the pieces are there to make it work.
05:07 PM JT-Shop: afaik there are no plans for anything :)
05:09 PM Tom_L: watch_wes, how would it differ from G33.1?
05:10 PM JT-Shop: there is G84
05:10 PM Tom_L: is that more for lathe?
05:10 PM JT-Shop: but it's for a floating chuck
05:10 PM JT-Shop: no
05:10 PM Tom_L: ahh
05:10 PM JT-Shop: it's a cycle
05:11 PM lcnc-relay: <watch_wes_work@discord> It would be a real canned cycle with G98/G99 clearance planes, and ability to have as many points as you like.
05:11 PM JT-Shop: yup, you just need to code that an do a PR
05:14 PM lcnc-relay: <watch_wes_work@discord> OK. Maybe I can look into it. My C code skills are pretty basic. I did look through the source code and it's probably beyond me at this point.
05:19 PM JT-Shop: I assume if it was easy the old devs would have done it correctly
05:21 PM Tom_L: you finally got rid of your floating head didn't you?
05:21 PM JT-Shop: nope, I still have it
05:22 PM lcnc-relay: <watch_wes_work@discord> I don't know. I mean you could almost do it with a macro. X, Y position. Z position. G33 to depth. G33 to clearance. Repeat.
05:22 PM JT-Shop: yup an O sub could do it
05:23 PM xxcoder: sub sets g number to some script correct?
05:23 PM JT-Shop: you can call a subroutine with o sub call
05:23 PM xxcoder: oh yes ok
05:33 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> xxcoder: the docs are pretty good for gcode.... subroutines and all
05:34 PM xxcoder: certainly is. its my memory thats deeply flawed lol
05:37 PM acer: hello yall
05:37 PM acer is now known as _unreal_
05:37 PM _unreal_: whats new
05:40 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> _unreal_: aren't you dumpster diving after the hurricanes
05:41 PM _unreal_: no?
05:41 PM _unreal_: even if I was I wouldnt be at this time. I'm working on getting a new home
05:42 PM _unreal_: waiting on a phone call to talk about buying options and house options
05:42 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> make sure it's on tall stilts
05:42 PM _unreal_: ?
05:42 PM _unreal_: I'm not in the k's
05:42 PM _unreal_: keys
05:42 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> and solid concrete
05:42 PM _unreal_: though that is my desire in the long run
05:46 PM _unreal_: I just cant wait to be FREE again. no more any family having any control over me any more.
06:13 PM roycroft: freedom's just another word for "nothin' left to lose"
06:14 PM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.@discord> that is just for me a Bobby Magee
06:14 PM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.@discord> * and
06:14 PM roycroft: rip kris :(
06:15 PM roycroft: i guess he's finally free
06:16 PM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.@discord> was up to 80f here earlier, but it cools off quick
06:26 PM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.@discord> _unreal_ : https://www.7cups.com/ and similar
06:28 PM _unreal_: capt?
06:30 PM roycroft: it is cool, but not cold here
06:31 PM roycroft: i finished wiring up the space heater for my shop today, and it's toasty warm in there
06:31 PM roycroft: i did that because i'm applying wood filler to the walls which needs to be warm to cure in a reasonable amount of time, and then i'll be painting, something that also likes warmth
06:32 PM roycroft: it's plenty warm without the heat to work with a heavy shirt or light jacket on
06:37 PM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.@discord> I supposedly work with "industrial mechanics and technicians" but they set the thermostat to 77 to get the shop area warm faster
06:41 PM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.@discord> the major difference between mechanics and techs vs engineers, besides the education is that mechanics and techs only want to think in part numbers vs the engineers that can think in specifications
06:43 PM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.@discord> so we have 10 different part numbers of the same devices in stock vs one or two that can do everything, simple things like air pressure regulators and filters
07:34 PM Tom_L: JT-Shop, Travis, http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:443/~webpage/cnc/JT-SHOP/flexgui/LCD_error.png
07:34 PM Tom_L: check to see if it's used or not
07:34 PM Tom_L: in this case, not
07:35 PM Tom_L: travis, i bet you tested with but forgot not everyone will use it :)
07:43 PM Tom_L: and with the widget used: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:443/~webpage/cnc/JT-SHOP/flexgui/LCD_error2.png
07:44 PM Tom_L: same basic error just shows up on a different line
07:49 PM roycroft: so the first long wall is totally sheathed, and i'm prepping it for paint
07:50 PM roycroft: but the short wall that comes next has my hardware/festool cabinets along it, and it's going to take hours to move them
07:50 PM roycroft: it will probably take me longer to insulate, sheath, and paint that wall than a long wall - maybe twice as long
08:17 PM xxcoder: wow the last code talker just died
08:17 PM xxcoder: he was 107
08:19 PM Tom_L: that was never broke was it?
08:20 PM xxcoder: while war happened, nobody ever fugured it was just a very unique language
08:20 PM xxcoder: so nobody broke the "code"
08:21 PM xxcoder: I think they worked hard to record the language though as it was fading out
10:40 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420@discord> dammit i crashed my tiny cnc again
10:40 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420@discord> shit post, who moves xy before z
10:40 PM xxcoder: doh
10:41 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420@discord> ahh i got it
10:41 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420@discord> default mastercam post, mastercam is owned by sandvick now
10:41 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420@discord> its all coming together now, big endmill is making me crash
10:42 PM xxcoder: lol all to sell you more tool
10:42 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420@discord> _taps nose_
10:43 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420@discord> still, the fuse blew before the endmuill broke
10:43 PM lcnc-relay: <big_kevin420@discord> maybe ill just use a smaller fuse just incase
10:46 PM lcnc-relay: <xxcoder@discord> big endmill
