10:14 PM oddwick__: was curious if you had sec to see if this was how things were supposed to be with ini includes
10:30 PM Tom_L: i'm winding down for the day but have a couple min
10:30 PM oddwick__: ok thx
10:30 PM Tom_L: paste.debian.net before you put it here
10:30 PM oddwick__: no pasting, just questions.
10:30 PM oddwick__: was having problems with my z behaving differently in joint and world modes with the acceleration.
10:30 PM Tom_L: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/config/ini-config.html#sub:ini:include
10:30 PM oddwick__: the problem is that i had an ini include that had a z_axis section in it so that i could use a z safe height variable with my cam on different machines which seemed to override everything else in world mode
10:30 PM Tom_L: i've not found a need for them on my setup
10:30 PM oddwick__: supposed to do that?
10:30 PM Tom_L: i've never used includes so i really dunno
10:30 PM oddwick__: i use them to kinda keep sections separate so its easier for me to find stuff and include generic sections to share between machines
10:31 PM xxcoder: no problem. I'd set reconnect to limited number or off though
10:31 PM xxcoder: mines set to fof
10:31 PM xxcoder: off
10:32 PM oddwick__: that is amazingly responsive over corrugated
10:32 PM oddwick__: i usually just close out when im done and pc goes to sleep, but had stuff running in background and it was up all night
10:35 PM oddwick__: but its late here and just wanted to thank all for the help! until next problem...
10:35 PM xxcoder: have great night
10:35 PM oddwick__: indeed
10:40 PM roycroft: ooh, quinn is getting new machine today
10:41 PM xxcoder: yup
10:41 PM roycroft: and it's a shaper
10:42 PM roycroft: a machine that no machinist ever made money from, but every machinst loves playing with
10:42 PM xxcoder: a machine you can make everything but money on
10:42 PM roycroft: yes
10:43 PM roycroft: and yes, if i had a big shop i'd love to have one
10:43 PM Tom_L: so if you figure out a way, keep it a secret
10:43 PM roycroft: actually, abom makes money with his shapers
10:43 PM xxcoder: just use it to make flat sheets of gold, then use cnc and laser cutter to make money. literally
10:44 PM roycroft: he does it by making youtube videos of making things with the shaper
10:44 PM xxcoder: ah yes quinn must have figured that secret
10:45 PM * Tom_L calls it a night
10:46 PM xxcoder: good night
10:49 PM infornography: The government doesn't want you to know that the forests are filled with free puppies
10:50 PM roycroft: well of course they are
10:50 PM roycroft: the government trains the puppies to rake the forests
10:50 PM xxcoder: little bit bitey puppies
10:50 PM infornography: bitey indeed
11:09 PM roycroft: you are correct, xxcoder
11:09 PM roycroft: quinn said she learned everything she knows about shapers from abom
11:09 PM roycroft: and she also said we'll be seeing the shaper a lot in upcoming videos
11:10 PM roycroft: so she learned how to make money with it from abom
11:10 PM xxcoder: did she menion abom?
11:10 PM roycroft: yes
11:10 PM xxcoder: hmm ok
