00:40 rue_school Tom_itx, damn impressive, does it slave the z to the theta?
00:41 rue_school ifny, hi
00:41 rue_school any25573423, hi
00:42 rue_school today I went to a library and found a greys anatomy, and now I know about a whole sympathetic nervous system I didn't before
00:50 any25573423 the Grey family back then were very prolific authors
00:50 any25573423 the Grey's Anatomy was a groundbreaking book
00:52 rue_school its wallet breaking now
00:52 rue_school I can find it at the lowest low low cost of $200
00:52 any25573423 a pdf wasn't good enough? you needed the transparencies?
00:52 rue_school pdf, hmm, didn't look for one yet
00:53 any25573423 aarrgg, the namespace is polluted with that idiiot tv show
00:54 rue_school heh, gnight
00:54 any25573423 oh
00:54 y25573423 stops looking
02:01 ifny rue_school: hi!
02:49 zhanx- Wow
02:51 zhanx- I posted a sign out front , I will toss you down the stairs if you misbehave
02:52 zhanx- Sheriff tonight said legit
02:53 zhanx- My landlord is zero happy
07:10 Tom_itx rue_school, yes Z is in sync with the spindle
08:29 rue_school zhanx, got troublemakers?
21:01 rue_house wow it got quiet in here didn't it?
21:02 Tom_itx i was pretty stoked to get the tapping working
22:15 rue_house yea
22:15 rue_house !
22:16 rue_bed its so much cooler here than in vancouver
22:16 Tom_itx a couple glitches to iron out on the pendant but mostly the mill is up again
22:16 rue_bed sweet
22:16 Tom_itx you done there now?
22:16 rue_bed nope 8 more weeks
22:17 rue_bed did it take much toget the threading working?
22:17 Tom_itx you gonna get a piece of paper when you're done?
22:17 rue_bed no
22:17 Tom_itx no not really
22:17 rue_bed its just 3rd year
22:17 Tom_itx just some lines of code
22:17 rue_bed cool stuff
22:17 rue_bed rezeroing must be a pain
22:17 Tom_itx i fixed my cad cam to output tapping canned cycle correctly for it
22:17 Tom_itx no
22:17 rue_bed nice
22:17 Tom_itx it follows the spindle index mark
22:17 rue_bed no?
22:18 rue_bed Z
22:18 Tom_itx you could re enter the same tapped hole
22:18 rue_bed you have to swap for drilling and tapping tho
22:18 Tom_itx yeah i had to use the chuck because i didn't have any holders that fit either one
22:19 rue_bed so, rezeroing?
22:19 Tom_itx it starts on the index trigger at the programmed height
22:19 Tom_itx so it's quite repeatable
22:20 rue_bed but you do or dont need to rezero between drilling pilots and tapping?
22:20 Tom_itx oh
22:20 Tom_itx yeah i have to reset the tool height because i'm using the same holder
22:20 rue_bed y
22:21 Tom_itx if i had a holder for each i could preset them both
22:21 Tom_itx and run it complete
22:21 Tom_itx as is, i'll probably break the program up into drill then tap
22:23 Tom_itx may not use it alot but it was on the list of things i wanted to accomplish
22:24 rue_bed so are you working on the backlog of programmers?
22:47 Tom_itx there isn't one
22:55 rue_bed ah goo
22:55 rue_bed d
22:55 Tom_itx some dude in SA wanted all the plain ones i had
22:55 Tom_itx used in production for something
22:56 rue_bed cool!
22:56 rue_bed I hope you made some money this time
22:56 Tom_itx there are a handfull of companies using them
22:57 rue_bed cool
22:57 rue_bed before you know it, you will have to ramp up production
22:57 rue_bed to like, 1 a week?
22:57 Tom_itx naw, it's tapered off
22:57 Tom_itx less
22:57 rue_bed ah
22:58 Tom_itx it surprised me actually
22:58 rue_bed you let the word get quiet about them
22:58 Tom_itx i took the forsale sign off the site
22:58 rue_bed mmmhmmm
22:58 rue_bed have you ever listed any on ebay?
22:58 Tom_itx there are better products now for just a tiny bit more
22:58 Tom_itx atmel has a new one
22:58 Tom_itx i did early on
22:58 rue_bed ah
22:58 Tom_itx i don't like ebay
22:59 rue_bed lots of buyers are jerks
22:59 Tom_itx i had a couple that were
23:00 Tom_itx i think that's pretty well run it's course
23:00 rue_bed the new ones work with avrdude ok?:
23:00 rue_bed atmels?
23:01 rue_bed the m32u4 still seems rare
23:01 Tom_itx i dunno about avrdude and theirs
23:02 rue_bed well if it dosn't work with avrdude, its a fail
23:03 Tom_itx http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/ATATMEL-ICE-PCBA/ATATMEL-ICE-PCBA-ND/4753383
23:03 Tom_itx that's the bare board
23:03 Tom_itx they have 3 variations of it
23:03 Tom_itx one is in a box
23:03 Tom_itx one is in a box with wires
23:03 rue_bed do yours is still the leading device then
23:03 rue_bed boxed and works with avrdude
23:04 Tom_itx the atmel one does arm and debugging
23:04 rue_bed whatever
23:04 Tom_itx just saying
23:04 rue_bed I bet it dons't debug under linux
23:04 Tom_itx probably not
23:04 rue_bed so you still have the leading device
