21:30 zhanx_ evening
23:20 rue_shop2 hey
23:20 rue_shop2 heh its for yahaw
23:21 Tom_itx i figured
23:21 rue_shop2 have a going price?
23:22 Tom_itx shipping went up quite a bit here recently so i increased it to $7 on my programmers
23:22 Tom_itx 27 probably would get one there
23:23 rue_shop2 wonder if I should cut myself a 32 pitch 1/4 lead screw for the cnc
23:23 Tom_itx too fine
23:23 rue_shop2 its already 6-32
23:23 Tom_itx too fine
23:23 rue_shop2 but its a hard drive head motor 0.9 degrees
23:23 rue_shop2 machine is slow as all hell
23:24 Tom_itx mine are 1.8
23:24 Tom_itx lead screw it 20 tpi
23:24 rue_shop2 the rest on it are, but they aren't direct drive like that, the rest go thru 2:1
23:24 Tom_itx is*
23:24 rue_shop2 cant change all the math now
23:24 rue_shop2 I dont even know if I can recompile the programs for it
23:25 Tom_itx easy with linuxcnc
23:25 Tom_itx time to make the move
23:25 rue_shop2 nope cant
23:25 rue_shop2 it runs off 2 parallel ports, with 4 bits per motor
23:25 rue_shop2 I'm building a new one, i can do all the fancy stuff on that
23:26 Tom_itx i might suggest a card for your new one
23:26 Tom_itx much better performance with it
23:26 rue_shop2 na I'm using dc motors
23:26 rue_shop2 with servoloops
23:26 Tom_itx so do they
23:26 Tom_itx or they have them for servos as well
23:26 Tom_itx even drivers etc
23:26 rue_shop2 k, gonna give it a step/dir interface so I can use stuff like linuxcnc easy
23:27 Tom_itx you can do bed mapping with it too if you want
23:27 Tom_itx brb..
