09:20 AM rue_mohr: morning
10:04 AM Tom_L: hi
10:58 AM polprog: Hi
11:00 AM Tom_L: hi hi
11:02 AM polprog: friend gave me some ch340
11:03 AM polprog: eventually the arduino seems to work OK.. ill have to see if it does
11:03 AM polprog: I dont feel like spending more time fixing it, hopefully the future ones will not have that fault
05:02 PM Tom_L: rue_mohr, aparently the fpga will sink more than it can source. i reversed the logic and it works great
05:03 PM Tom_L: i probably won't need the board now but i appreciate the effort
06:38 PM rue_mohr: heh
06:38 PM rue_mohr: k
06:38 PM rue_mohr: does it seem common sense that ma not dry pot in my house?
06:43 PM rue_mohr: I'v only told her like a million times I hate the smell of the stuff
07:20 PM Tom_L: heh
07:20 PM Tom_L: i kinda thought reversing the logic might work since they can sink more
07:21 PM Tom_L: well you _are_ out in the boonies
07:22 PM Tom_L: next step is to build another bit file with the extra step/dir
07:23 PM Tom_L: so if you do much with your fpga remember that
07:24 PM rue_mohr: :)
07:25 PM Tom_L: i need to remember how to upload the bit file to the 7i90 too
07:25 PM Tom_L: not something i do every day
07:25 PM rue_mohr: and I have a power converter to work out
07:26 PM Tom_L: i did update my pdf
07:27 PM * Tom_L fires up webpack
07:38 PM rue_mohr: I'm gonna try to stay awake
07:39 PM Tom_L: error in the main vhd file
07:39 PM Tom_L: dunno why
07:39 PM Tom_L: i think i'll get a fresh copy
07:39 PM Tom_L: my config bit file should be ok
07:43 PM Tom_L: try again
08:08 PM Tom_L: ok i think it built
08:33 PM rue_mohr: so many phone calls...
08:37 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/configs/NEW_MILL_SHOP_2.8.1/Bitfiles/7i90/7i90_A_axis_bitfile/bitfile.txt
08:37 PM Tom_L: rewird, bitfile generated, bitfile uploaded
08:37 PM Tom_L: see the stepgen3 at the bottom?
08:37 PM Tom_L: 0--3
08:37 PM Tom_L: top two bottom two
08:42 PM Tom_L: one booboo but it will still work
08:43 PM Tom_L: i'm fixing it right now...
08:46 PM Tom_L: i forgot to remove the unused sserialRX pin and change it to GPIO
08:46 PM Tom_L: it defaults to GPIO anyway
09:27 PM Tom_L: all fixed. IO13 was the culprit
09:29 PM Tom_L: i should remove Quad-A 2 too
09:29 PM Tom_L: it's used as GPIO
09:36 PM rue_mohr: hearing voices and my right legs twitching
09:36 PM rue_mohr: = I'm tired
09:36 PM Tom_L: yeah
09:37 PM Tom_L: i accomplished something...
09:37 PM Tom_L: i'm stopping too
09:37 PM Tom_L: 2 things
09:37 PM Tom_L: rewired estop enable
09:37 PM rue_mohr: I think I have a lead on a power converter design I'm ok with
09:37 PM Tom_L: redid the bitfile and uploaded it
09:37 PM rue_mohr: :)
09:37 PM rue_mohr: test it all tommorow?
09:37 PM Tom_L: need a driver now
09:37 PM Tom_L: i did already
09:37 PM rue_mohr: cool
09:37 PM rue_mohr: is the pendant ok?
09:38 PM Tom_L: everything that's wired up is working
09:38 PM Tom_L: yes
09:38 PM rue_mohr: you mentioned it was glitching
09:38 PM rue_mohr: k
09:38 PM Tom_L: that was a typo in the config file
09:38 PM Tom_L: i copied a backup and started over
09:38 PM Tom_L: this time it worked
09:38 PM Tom_L: i don't like editing in the shop
09:38 PM Tom_L: but i knew exactly what to change this time
09:40 PM Tom_L: ### setp hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.gpio.023.is_output 1
09:40 PM Tom_L: ### setp hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.gpio.023.invert_output 1
09:40 PM Tom_L: setp hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.gpio.029.is_output 1
09:40 PM Tom_L: setp hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.gpio.029.invert_output 0
09:40 PM Tom_L: ### net estop-loopout hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.gpio.023.out iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in <= estop-latch.0.ok-out
09:40 PM Tom_L: net estop-loopout hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.gpio.029.out iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in <= estop-latch.0.ok-out
09:40 PM Tom_L: replaced the ### with the others
09:40 PM Tom_L: changed inverted to not inverted and changed the io pin
09:40 PM rue_mohr: k
09:40 PM Tom_L: you should learn that
09:40 PM rue_mohr: you have to use a special vesion of webpack for it?
09:41 PM Tom_L: :)
09:41 PM Tom_L: nope
09:41 PM Tom_L: same one you use
09:41 PM rue_mohr: hmm
09:41 PM rue_mohr: I have an alteara cyclone II to play with
09:42 PM rue_mohr: I wonder how I'd do on another program trying to do something with it
09:42 PM Tom_L: i had to remember a few things though. that took a min
11:40 PM rue_mohr: hey! I was able to stay awke till bedtime!
