04:49 AM JT-Cave: morning
07:36 AM Tom_L: PR #270 deb
07:44 AM Tom_L: Wed -1F, Thur -5F
09:58 AM Tom_L: i discarded #270 since you commited after that so it wouldn't mess things up. #271 has your last commit
12:23 PM JT-Cave1: ok, I'm working on a bug with tool change buttons while eating lunch
12:24 PM xxcoder: just be careful not to leave chumbs in code ;)
01:22 PM Tom_L: just got back
01:34 PM Tom_L: must be at empire today...
04:17 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> @JT I feel dumb. Python module was "requests" not "register"
04:22 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> Where in the code is the max linear velocity capped at?
04:22 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> Can't raise it above 100mm/s, it seems
04:24 PM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.@> it's limited by your config file
04:26 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> I don't have a config file yet
04:26 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> MesaCT stuffs
04:29 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> Tried editing samples.py, that didn't do it
04:42 PM JT-Shop: max linear velocity is capped at 500 in the ui
04:44 PM JT-Shop: grep -irn minLinJogVelDSB
04:44 PM JT-Shop: doesn't show it being capped in code
04:48 PM JT-Shop: https://paste.pics/5ae5c4334d24281f971432139b31239b
05:00 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> it won't let me raise it above 100 mm/s un the ui
05:01 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> * in
05:01 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> upper corner "machine settings"
05:01 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> unless that doesn't matter
05:18 PM C3-Shop: I don't even think I use that...
05:18 PM Tom_dev: new rtai looks very promising
05:18 PM C3-Shop: grep for the name of that double spin box and see if you find anything
05:26 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> @C3, if it's safe to ignore, I will, I just want to be sure i'm not missing anything. Also, If it isn't used, i'd just assume see it pulled / disabled from the gui to save confusion
05:29 PM JT-Shop: it does seem to set traj max lin vel
05:29 PM JT-Shop: I'll have to fix that...
05:34 PM JT-Shop: the more people that poke around in mesact the better it gets
05:34 PM JT-Shop: and Tom_dev is great a finding weak points in flex :)
05:34 PM Tom_dev: what did i do now?
05:35 PM Tom_dev: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:443/~webpage/cnc/JT-SHOP/flexgui/RTAI5.4.290.png
05:35 PM JT-Shop: nothing
05:35 PM Tom_dev: running a heavy graphics gpu test
05:35 PM JT-Shop: nice
05:36 PM Tom_dev: was 16.4 running 4 glxgears & 2 yt
05:39 PM Tom_L: the RTAI 5.4.290 comes with linuxcnc 2.9.4
05:40 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> @JT, I'll ignore that for now. Will continue on building my config and see if anything else is broken/needs edited
05:41 PM JT-Shop: ok and remember if you don't make mistakes from time to time you're not doing anything :)
05:41 PM xxcoder: tom did you run my favorite for testing, full screen HD fire scene?
05:42 PM xxcoder: it constantly changes nearly all of video area so its pretty hefy hit on gpu
05:44 PM JT-Shop: we might get up to a foot of snow tomorrow
05:45 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> @JT that's what we've got here over the past few days
05:45 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> now, it's too cold for more, yay?
05:45 PM xxcoder: too warm here lol. low 50s f
05:46 PM JT-Shop: then it's getting very cold after the snow so it's staying for a while
05:46 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> low tonight is 4F, high tomorrow is 17F
05:47 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> we don't see the 30's until maybe Sunday
05:47 PM JT-Shop: I get nervous when I don't have a huge supply of firewood like now
05:48 PM Tom_L: yeah we're gonna get hit too i'm afraid
05:49 PM Tom_L: xxcoder, i dunno, i just ran 'extreme' and let it do it's thing
05:49 PM xxcoder: lol ok :)
05:50 PM JT-Shop: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c3-tech-performance/4889551-82-air-filter-3.html#post1608576127
05:50 PM Tom_L: yeah it seemed like a pretty good test
05:50 PM Tom_L: what a mess
05:51 PM Tom_L: you gettin ready to put a blower on it? :)
05:51 PM JT-Shop: took quite a while to remove the duct from the crossfire
05:51 PM JT-Shop: LOL no, I just want it to run and drive
05:51 PM Tom_L: i know
05:51 PM Tom_L: i'm pretty happy with this new rtai so far
05:51 PM JT-Shop: been up on jackstands for a couple of weeks now looks like a month to rebuild/repair the steering
05:52 PM Tom_L: need to run it on the mill but that's not gonna be this week
05:52 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> This spring, I plan on finally getting my Eclipse GSX (2g) back on the road. It's been sitting a few years now
05:52 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> it qualifies for "historical" plates now 🙂
05:52 PM Tom_L: https://onelaboratories.us/abc/
05:53 PM Tom_L: if anybody want's to try it
05:53 PM JT-Shop: turbo?
05:53 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> all GSX
05:53 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> are turbo
05:53 PM JT-Shop: ok didn't know
05:53 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> mine has the 5spd manual, as it should 😄
05:54 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> wish i could find the 5th gear from an Evo for it, would drop 500r's at cruising speed
05:54 PM JT-Shop: nice, I miss driving the 04 C5 6 speed
05:54 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> freeway speeds are ~ 2900rpm, starts building boost at 3100..... no, no issues there.....
05:55 PM Tom_L: i noticed you didn't mention what _your_ freeway speeds were :D
05:56 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> 75mph or so, nothing crazy
05:56 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> top is 136mph, runs out of gear....
05:56 PM Tom_L: you're not in Tx for sure
05:56 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> pulls like hell, all the way
05:56 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> nope, way north
05:57 PM Tom_L: you'd get run over at posted speeds
05:57 PM JT-Shop: the C8 pulls real strong to 160 mph and top speed is 195 mph
05:58 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> I'd hope so, with the double overdrive
05:58 PM JT-Shop: I wish I had somewhere to drive it at top speed for a moment
05:58 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> the AWD prevents me from a trans swap
05:59 PM Tom_L: they used to set up a road course at an old airstrip here
06:01 PM JT-Shop: at the track I've got it up to 150 a couple of times but a bit nervous about getting into the wall just before the straight
06:03 PM Tom_L: you should have enough windy roads there to keep the adrenalin goin
06:03 PM Tom_L: everything here is straight and flat
06:03 PM JT-Shop: O hwy is quite windy and I used to ride the BlueWing on it often
06:04 PM Tom_L: i used to take my little fiat spyder to siloam springs once in a while
06:04 PM Tom_L: that was eons ago
06:05 PM Tom_L: was there something here that i was suppose to try to break?
06:07 PM JT-Shop: https://www.racingcircuits.info/assets/images/maps/North%20America/USA/Gateway/Gateway19.png
06:08 PM JT-Shop: that's the track at world wide tech racetrack
06:08 PM JT-Shop: no
06:08 PM Tom_L: is that where you went?
06:08 PM JT-Shop: yup
06:08 PM Tom_L: cool
06:08 PM JT-Shop: https://www.racingcircuits.info/assets/images/maps/North%20America/USA/Gateway/Gateway-RC1-19.png
06:08 PM Tom_L: i should try to dig out the photo of the car i helped on
06:08 PM JT-Shop: that's the 1.6 mile that I ran
06:09 PM JT-Shop: T7 is a killer
06:09 PM Tom_L: formula ford iirc i don't honestly remember what class it was
06:09 PM JT-Shop: if you don't stay wide at the start of it you end up in the grass
06:10 PM Tom_L: haven't had that box of pics down in probably 10 yrs
06:11 PM Tom_L: how long is that semi oval?
06:12 PM JT-Shop: the first photo I'm not sure
06:12 PM Tom_L: they always like to add a hairpin turn in them
06:12 PM Tom_L: just now noticed the 2nd one
06:12 PM JT-Shop: the second link is 1.6 miles
06:12 PM JT-Shop: that's what I ran
06:13 PM Tom_L: yeah
06:13 PM JT-Shop: I missed the 2.0 mile
06:13 PM JT-Shop: https://www.racingcircuits.info/assets/images/maps/North%20America/USA/Gateway/Gateway-RC2-19.png
06:13 PM Tom_L: you're already wowed up for T8 so it shouldn't be hard
06:15 PM Tom_L: we took the boys thru a handfull of the NASCAR shops when they were young and they really got a kick out of that
06:15 PM Tom_L: rode around lowe's motor speedway which is nearly next door to Hendrix
06:15 PM JT-Shop: cool
06:18 PM Tom_L: https://www.kart.org/!pdf%20files/Lake%20Afton%20Directions.pdf
06:18 PM Tom_L: they do that one once a year around here and have kart races the week before they set up all the barrels & tires
06:18 PM Tom_L: the outer loop
06:19 PM JT-Shop: cool
06:19 PM JT-Shop: that would be fun
06:19 PM Tom_L: oh wait.. that's not the track layout
06:19 PM Tom_L: but the track is set up on the right side of the lake
06:19 PM Tom_L: left...
06:20 PM Tom_L: long straight
06:20 PM Tom_L: the blue outline
06:20 PM * JT-Shop calls it a night
