12:21 AM rue_mohr: towards the back of the yard
02:02 AM rue_mohr: MoonyMoon, lets play with the flame rectifier sometime
12:33 PM Tom_itx is now known as Tom_L
09:16 PM MoonyMoon: rue_mohr: Yes lets
09:27 PM rue_shop2: about how many volts did they have on it?
09:27 PM rue_shop2: 24? 1000?
09:36 PM rue_shop3: hahah
09:36 PM rue_shop3: I'm out of space for motors and speakers
09:37 PM rue_shop3: arg
09:47 PM Tom_L: better get that shed build so you can stuff it full
09:48 PM rue_shop3: :/
09:48 PM rue_shop3: I'm going to start by putting everyone elses things in it
09:49 PM Tom_L: or send them home
09:49 PM rue_shop3: that should clear out about 1/20 the shop
09:49 PM rue_shop3: I need to make two gearboxes
09:50 PM rue_shop3: not like I havn't made a million in my time
09:50 PM rue_shop3: sigh
09:50 PM rue_shop3: well, I'm looking at it anyhow
09:52 PM rue_shop3: Tom_L, I need to try that part on the cnc again too
09:56 PM Tom_L: you should be getting a couple soon
09:56 PM Tom_L: dunno if they're good or not
10:02 PM rue_mohr: what size bits did you use?
10:02 PM rue_mohr: I still want to try to make one here
10:03 PM Tom_L: 1/16 and 1/32"
10:03 PM Tom_L: yours is programmed for your bit though
10:03 PM Tom_L: i re'wrote it for mine
10:05 PM rue_mohr: ok, so
10:05 PM rue_mohr: the bit snapped last time,
10:05 PM rue_mohr: so, I was pondering a top layer of some kind to sheer against
10:05 PM Tom_L: the 2nd program on the website has a bunch of op stops in it so you can clear the crap outta the way
10:05 PM rue_mohr: or re-ordering the bit path fro the inside out
10:05 PM rue_mohr: ok
10:06 PM rue_mohr: but there is no mechanism for my machine to stop
10:06 PM rue_mohr: my spooler doesn't look at codes
10:06 PM Tom_L: it will pause though right?
10:06 PM rue_mohr: and grbl cant recieve any continue event
10:06 PM rue_mohr: I dont think so, I can test
10:06 PM rue_mohr: whats the code?
10:06 PM Tom_L: grbl honors m0 right?
10:06 PM Tom_L: M00
10:06 PM rue_mohr: I can test it
10:07 PM Tom_L: i think it does
10:07 PM rue_mohr: but how would I tell it to continue?
10:07 PM Tom_L: i issue M00, M05 to stop the spindle then on resume M03 to restart the spindle
10:08 PM rue_mohr: grbl spools commands
10:08 PM rue_mohr: I cant insert when its stopped cuse its spool is full
10:08 PM rue_mohr: oh
10:08 PM rue_mohr: "Essentially yes. When Grbl receives an M0 program pause command, it'll complete any remaining motions in its queue, all prior to the M0 command, and then place the system in a suspend state. It's the same suspend state that feed hold uses, but the difference is that a feed hold will immediately decelerate and suspend the job once the deceleration is complete. Both M0 and feed hold are resumed with a cycle start character."
10:09 PM Tom_L: i thought i posted the code... but i don't see it there
10:09 PM Tom_L: N340 G53 G00 Z0 M05
10:09 PM Tom_L: N341 M00 (CLEAR CHIPS)
10:09 PM Tom_L: N342 M03
10:09 PM Tom_L: N343 G00 Z-0.0394
10:10 PM Tom_L: yeah it's got a few
10:10 PM rue_mohr: I dont know how to resume
10:10 PM Tom_L: i use my pause button on the mpg
10:10 PM Tom_L: that's coupler1.txt
10:11 PM rue_mohr: grbl supports buttons I didn't hook up
10:11 PM Tom_L: with all the M00 in it
10:11 PM Tom_L: maybe you should add 1 button
10:11 PM Tom_L: pause/resume
10:12 PM rue_mohr: no button for pause tho
10:12 PM rue_mohr: just abort
10:12 PM rue_mohr: which is why I didn't bother
10:14 PM Tom_L: https://github.com/gnea/grbl/wiki/Grbl-v1.1-Commands
10:14 PM Tom_L: Resumes a feed hold, a safety door/parking state when the door is closed, and the M0 program pause states.
10:15 PM Tom_L: Cycle Start / Resume
10:15 PM rue_mohr: ioh tilda
10:15 PM rue_mohr: tilda does a start/resume
10:16 PM Tom_L: so you can do that from the kbd
10:16 PM Tom_L: ?
10:16 PM rue_mohr: yea
10:16 PM rue_mohr: ok which browser tab has the new file
10:16 PM Tom_L: it should stop on it's own. then you just ~ to resume
10:17 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/rue/coupler/coupler1.txt
10:17 PM Tom_L: i think
10:17 PM Tom_L: yeah
10:17 PM rue_mohr: 1 or all
10:17 PM Tom_L: 1
10:18 PM Tom_L: coupler1.txt
10:18 PM rue_mohr: ok I see it
10:18 PM rue_mohr: ok I'll do a dry run
10:18 PM Tom_L: says it supports G53 too
10:19 PM Tom_L: which in your case will just take the cutter to the top of the material since that is zero
10:19 PM Tom_L: but the spindle should stop
10:19 PM Tom_L: then ~ will start the spindle with the M03
10:20 PM Tom_L: just hope it winds up quick enough before it feeds in
10:21 PM Tom_L: first one is on line 341
10:28 PM rue_shop3: doing dry run
10:28 PM rue_shop3: oo it stops the spindle too
10:30 PM rue_shop3: hmm, my spindle startup speed might be a bit slow
10:30 PM rue_shop3: hard to tell by eye
10:30 PM rue_shop3: I think its still going down by the time its turning
10:31 PM Tom_L: the M05 stops the spindle
10:31 PM Tom_L: if you need to you can remove those and leave it on while you clear the chips
10:31 PM Tom_L: so that should help you get a good part
10:33 PM Tom_L: i redid my post a little because i was having similar problems
10:33 PM Tom_L: after a stop it was still getting up to speed when it started cutting
10:34 PM rue_shop3: there is an invalid code somewhere, trying to find it
10:34 PM Tom_L: it may not like the () but it should
10:35 PM Tom_L: (text here)
10:37 PM zhanx: smoke a pork butt for 6 hours for dinner
10:38 PM zhanx: smoked*
10:39 PM rue_shop3: goes by too fast, invalid ID 25..
10:40 PM rue_shop3: zhanx, your alive?
10:40 PM rue_shop3: things getting better at all?
10:40 PM zhanx: yes
10:40 PM zhanx: rue_shop3, did you miss the house will be ready late next month?
10:41 PM Tom_L: 25 means the gcode was repeated
10:41 PM Tom_L: usually means it wasn't transmitted correctly
10:43 PM Tom_L: http://grblminicnc.blogspot.com/2017/04/grbl-error-list.html
10:45 PM rue_shop3: zhanx, no, what? house?
10:45 PM Tom_L: he's building a house
10:45 PM zhanx: like house house buying
10:45 PM Tom_L: buying
10:45 PM rue_shop3: ok
10:45 PM zhanx: its almost done being built
10:45 PM Tom_L: that means he might stay put for a while

10:47 PM Tom_L: damn, i did didn't i
10:47 PM rue_shop3: hahaha
10:48 PM zhanx: rue_shop3, can you do spicy hot food?
10:48 PM rue_shop3: not even close
10:48 PM rue_shop3: I can do mild, if its a mild mild
10:49 PM Tom_L: i'm goin to bed.. later
10:49 PM rue_shop3: I tried medium once

10:50 PM rue_shop3: Tom_L,
10:50 PM rue_shop3: wait
10:50 PM rue_shop3: what rpm?
10:54 PM rue_shop3: thats a bit of a scarry feed rate for this
11:05 PM rue_shop3: ok, well the machine took off into the middle of nowhere on line 3876 and yea, the bit broke
11:18 PM rue_shop2: I'v never had it spoool a program wrong or anything, I wonder whats different
11:50 PM rue_mohr: I think I know what it is
11:50 PM rue_mohr: one of the commands must generate an extra ok
11:50 PM rue_mohr: my program expects every line to be 1 ok
11:51 PM rue_mohr: its to do with the way it handshakes the lines
11:51 PM rue_mohr: parsing the machine status reply is insanely complex, so I didn't
11:54 PM rue_mohr: Tom_L, bad news too, from my machine, it was a bad size both ways, the inner was too tight for the motor, and the outter was too tight for the socket
11:54 PM rue_mohr: I'll wait and see how yours fit
