04:57 PM Tom_L: rue_shop1, what control is on your cnc?
05:02 PM Tom_L: mega2560?
05:02 PM Tom_L: whatever they use for the glue printers..
05:02 PM Tom_L: had a thought of emulating it here to test downloading but i dunno if that would work
05:02 PM Tom_L: i'm not even sure where my mega2560 is now
06:29 PM rue_mohr: yes
06:29 PM rue_mohr: wait no
06:29 PM rue_mohr: no its a arduino uno
06:29 PM rue_mohr: m328
06:29 PM rue_mohr: grbl is small
06:30 PM rue_mohr: its not really grbl thats the snag, its my spooler
06:30 PM rue_mohr: that I wrote
06:30 PM Tom_L: i know but i've got linux ya know
06:31 PM Tom_L: unless it's too complicated to install / copy
06:31 PM rue_mohr: no its pyton
06:31 PM Tom_L: i'd have to figure out how to install / set it all up
06:31 PM rue_mohr: there is n ofeedback
06:31 PM Tom_L: and i'm not sure i'm up for that
06:32 PM rue_mohr: so if you ahve a m328 of any kind it can simulate for uyou
06:32 PM rue_mohr: I better go start those last few blanks
06:32 PM Tom_L: i may but it's hard to say where any of that is
06:33 PM rue_mohr: do you already have a m328 anywhere?
06:33 PM Tom_L: i might
06:33 PM Tom_L: i dunno where any of that stuff is right now
06:33 PM Tom_L: i put it all away
06:33 PM rue_mohr: I can play with it after I have these cut
06:34 PM Tom_L: i might still have that tutorial board set up on a breadboard
06:38 PM Tom_L: it would be a mess for me to figure out where it all is now
06:38 PM rue_mohr: I'll get there, down melt down
06:38 PM rue_mohr: I shoudl go start another blank now
06:38 PM Tom_L: no melt down, just sitting around

10:48 PM rue_shop1: I'm obviously completely out of it
10:48 PM rue_shop1: I should have noticed
10:48 PM MoonyMoon: maybe.
10:48 PM rue_shop1: so when we gonna play with software?
10:48 PM MoonyMoon: well, i'm all alone for a week starting tomorroe
10:48 PM rue_shop1: hmm

10:49 PM MoonyMoon: kids are already at SaltSpring Island, and sue is leaving tomorrow
10:50 PM rue_shop1: huh
10:50 PM rue_shop1: the cnc machines are backed up
10:50 PM rue_shop1: I think I need more of them
10:51 PM MoonyMoon: Yes you do
10:51 PM MoonyMoon: 12' bed!
10:51 PM MoonyMoon: 12" i mean
10:51 PM rue_shop1: well there is the BIG one
10:51 PM MoonyMoon: ?
10:52 PM MoonyMoon: the wood one? your building?
10:53 PM MoonyMoon: i'm watching Kids In The Hall now.
10:57 PM rue_shop1: did you confine them to the hall?
10:58 PM rue_shop1: oh in saltspring
10:58 PM rue_shop1: I need to make a cam for this other bracket I need tooo
10:59 PM rue_shop1: MoonyMoon, well your missing all the good stuff over here
11:00 PM rue_shop1: MoonyMoon, you should come cheerlead me wiring the shed
11:01 PM rue_shop1: I was gonna just bojangle it and give it an inverter, but thats gotten complex and I'm thinking of doing the wiring right, but with a funny power box feeding it
11:13 PM rue_shop1: 6 left
11:14 PM Tom_L: o_O
11:17 PM rue_shop1: hmm do I make a 100W 12V->96V DC-DC for a sine wave inverter?
11:17 PM rue_shop1: that doesnt' add up tho
11:18 PM rue_shop1: 168V?
11:18 PM rue_shop1: I'm losing it
11:19 PM rue_shop1: yea I'd need +-170V
11:22 PM rue_shop1: 300mA
11:32 PM rue_shop2: so, if I keep the flyback to 30 of the 55V limit
11:33 PM rue_shop2: 170V on the secondary is 30 primary
11:33 PM rue_shop2: rounded to N = 6
11:33 PM rue_shop2: so flyback is 28
