12:17 AM rue_mohr: OMG not that fast
12:19 AM rue_mohr: bent the crap out of one of the tool holder bolts
02:23 AM rue_bed2: gn

09:20 AM rue_mohr: good show
08:14 PM rue_shop5: cool
08:15 PM rue_shop5: the guys at work stripped out some led chain lights that are awesome
08:15 PM rue_shop5: 1.4A CC
08:15 PM rue_shop5: they blinded me at 750mA
08:20 PM Tom_L: :)
08:23 PM Tom_L: went looking for some 3/4 x .250 material today to cut blanks for A3 and found 3/4 x 1 in length which isn't so bad
09:10 PM rue_mohr: heh :)
09:11 PM rue_mohr: there has to be somnething more fun to play with for ya
09:13 PM Tom_L: well not really. just finished fixing the clothes dryer
09:14 PM Tom_L: ^^ Better than cutting them from 6 x 8 x .250
09:21 PM rue_shop5: wait
09:21 PM rue_shop5: the dryer again?
09:21 PM Tom_L: the dryer for the first time
09:22 PM Tom_L: generally it's the washer
09:22 PM Tom_L: it carries more load
09:33 PM Tom_L: i've only run a couple parts anyway just to prove the setup
09:34 PM Tom_L: helped me figure out some tooling like the radius cutter and getting all the feeds right on all the tooling
09:35 PM rue_shop5: I thought you had to do the dryer last year
09:35 PM rue_shop5: I really need to send you some other parts
09:36 PM rue_shop5: like I should send you a cast trigger!

09:38 PM rue_shop5: 21 31 01 47
09:38 PM rue_shop5: 21 is the start of the packet
09:38 PM rue_shop5: 30/31 is the channel number
09:38 PM rue_shop5: the next two values are the channel value
09:39 PM Tom_L: what ends the packet?
09:39 PM rue_shop5: always 4 bytes
09:39 PM Tom_L: preset length or a marker?
09:39 PM rue_shop5: its part binary, so I want sure it was working right
09:39 PM rue_shop5: i got the t13 sending @ 9600 baud
09:40 PM Tom_L: what sort of handshaking?
09:40 PM rue_shop5: none
09:40 PM rue_shop5: its just a stream
09:41 PM Tom_L: does any of it arrive?
09:41 PM Tom_L: add a nop between bytes
09:41 PM rue_shop5: all of it
09:41 PM rue_shop5: its all good, it was just a challange to check
09:41 PM Tom_L: oh
09:42 PM rue_shop5: turns out minicom has a hex mode
09:42 PM Tom_L: i had to do something like that on my bud's big cnc when loading a program
09:42 PM Tom_L: realterm ftw
09:42 PM rue_shop5: baud rates a bit out?
09:42 PM Tom_L: it's just old
09:42 PM Tom_L: 4800 baud
09:43 PM rue_shop5: its a machine 1200 baud can probably keep up with the hardware just fine
09:43 PM rue_shop5: unless you throw a huge stream of short little lines at it
09:43 PM Tom_L: lcnc has a mode for that
09:44 PM rue_shop5: aaaa mosquitos...
09:44 PM rue_shop5: in the shop
09:44 PM rue_shop5: *sigh*
09:44 PM rue_shop5: but yay, I got the timing right on the t13 serial
09:45 PM Tom_L: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/gcode/g-code.html#gcode:g61
09:45 PM Tom_L: actually i think it's G64 path blending
09:47 PM Tom_L: as much rain as we've had i'd think there would be some here but i haven't seen any yet
09:48 PM rue_shop5: hmm
09:48 PM rue_shop5: the greenhouse tank is full, but there hasn't been much
09:48 PM rue_shop5: ok, I'll next to wire up the controllers in the mirror next
09:48 PM Tom_L: the river is up
09:49 PM rue_shop5: so, for today, I'll switch projects
09:49 PM Tom_L: company left a bit ago
09:49 PM Tom_L: glad to see and glad to see them go
09:50 PM Tom_L: i'm still uncertain about the server change
09:51 PM Tom_L: now i'm on 8 dead channels instead of 4
09:52 PM Tom_L: except the new ones are all chipper they did the right thing and the old ones are pissed it happened
10:04 PM rue_shop5: hah ok...
10:04 PM rue_shop5: we have yet to see tho
10:05 PM Tom_L: however god showed up in the "New" robotics channel so maybe that's a sign?
10:09 PM aandrew: heh
10:10 PM aandrew: "god showed up"
11:05 PM rue_mohr: so
11:05 PM rue_mohr: I'm not totally sold on using a 1HP router for this 4'x8' cnc
11:05 PM rue_mohr: SOMEHOW I suspect that a drywall router would do most of what I'll throw at it
