05:17 AM dremeier[m]: @L
05:18 AM TurBoss: morning
05:19 AM dremeier[m]: Lcvette: in a subroutine I would like to ask for the absolute position. Do you now how?
05:19 AM dremeier[m]: morning :-)
05:20 AM TurBoss: dremeier: if you pull latest tnc it will have the settings checkbox that allows to enable VKB

05:21 AM dremeier[m]1: ^^thanks, will try later 👍

06:23 AM Lcvette: It is safe to send the become to g53 pairing even if it's there
06:24 AM dremeier[m]: sorry, what do you mean ? 🥴

06:30 AM Lcvette: why all the rules for 6161-61?
06:31 AM Lcvette: * why all the rules for 5161-63?
06:32 AM Lcvette: im saying even if the machine is at G53 #5161, it is perfectly accepotable to send it there again
06:32 AM Lcvette: its abasoilute G90 coordinate

06:34 AM dremeier[m]: that not my question
06:36 AM Lcvette: oh i see you want to know the absolute positoon
06:36 AM Lcvette: sek
06:37 AM Lcvette: ```
06:37 AM Lcvette: #<y> = #5421

06:38 AM dremeier[m]: I don´t whant that the z-axis goes up and down, everytime the routine passes the same code, even if the position is already reached. So I would like to ask the machine if it already at the designated Position?

06:39 AM Lcvette: this will define the current position in which ever axis
06:39 AM Lcvette: then you can use it in your if/else statement rukle
06:40 AM Lcvette: im syauing it doesn't hurt to send it code
06:40 AM Lcvette: to move to a position it is already at
06:41 AM Lcvette: and if i understand correctly, you need it to be in that position regardless so you are going to send it there unless it is already there in wehich case you don't want to send it code again?
06:42 AM Lcvette: sorry im not done with my coffeee yet
06:42 AM Lcvette: just woke up
06:42 AM Lcvette: lol
06:42 AM dremeier[m]: lol, all fine - goooood morning! :-)
06:46 AM Lcvette: wait, that code i posted is with the offsets and in the current work offset
06:46 AM dremeier[m]: the thing is, that first I rise the z-axis up, go to xy and then down. If I repeat the code then the z-axis will rise up and then down again for useless.
06:47 AM Lcvette: why is the head going up and then down
06:48 AM Lcvette: im asking to visualize whats happening
06:53 AM Lcvette: is this part of the tool change?
06:53 AM Lcvette: or tool touch off?
06:54 AM dremeier[m]: <Lcvette "why is the head going up and the"> for safty reason! for example: the machine is faraway from the required position, I need to first rise the Z-axis as high as possible not to crash in a work peace. If the xy pos is reached I can lower the z-axis.
06:55 AM dremeier[m]: I will be my new M6 remap plus tool-touch-off
06:55 AM dremeier[m]: * it will be my new M6 remap plus tool-touch-off
06:55 AM dremeier[m]: * it will be my new M6 remap plus tool-touch-off
07:18 AM Lcvette: well i looked and i don't see a direct method to retrieve the G53 positons
07:19 AM Lcvette: unless i missed something (very possible this early in the morning) i think you may have to get there with some various code calls
07:21 AM Lcvette: maybe you could math it out
07:22 AM Lcvette: maybe you could pull data from a dro for machine coordinates?
07:22 AM Lcvette: try it like you would do a persistent settings box
07:23 AM Lcvette: dremeier: ^^^
07:23 AM Lcvette: then you could use it in your EQ formula
07:40 AM dremeier[m]: Thanks for your effort, I will see how to solve the problem. But pulling data from gui in remap is not possible.
07:41 AM Lcvette: ah
07:41 AM dremeier[m]: grazy that the interpreter has no absolute variables to pull 😕
07:41 AM Lcvette: yes
07:42 AM Lcvette: i looked through the named values and numbered parameters section and don't see anything
07:42 AM dremeier[m]: I too
09:40 AM roguish[m]: Lcvette: good morning. are your probe routines all gcode ?
09:42 AM Lcvette: They are rs274
09:42 AM Lcvette: With gcode
09:43 AM Lcvette: roguish: ^^^
09:44 AM roguish[m]: could they be run stand-alone? maybe with the correct inputs?
09:59 AM roguish[m]: Lcvette: hey, what's the link address to checkout PB ?
10:02 AM Lcvette: https://kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/dev_install.html
10:11 AM Lcvette: ah crap
10:11 AM Lcvette: the drive i ordered won't work
10:11 AM Lcvette: it only has one pulse and one direction input
10:11 AM Lcvette: apparantly that does not work with mesa
10:12 AM Lcvette: :(
10:12 AM Lcvette: more project delays now
10:21 AM roguish[m]: Lcvette: slow down. check with PCW
10:21 AM roguish[m]: or even JT
10:22 AM Lcvette: i found a thread on the forums asking about the drive and a y7i76 and everyone said not ok to run it
10:40 AM roguish[m]: well. time to go to the shop/garage, where it's barely 45 deg this morning. gonna turn on the propane heater....
10:58 AM dremeier[m]: what drive you have ? Lcvette

11:01 AM dremeier[m]: that should work with the mesa
11:03 AM Lcvette: it will?
11:03 AM pcw_home: Yeah, 7I76 works fine with single ended inputs (though its not obvious whether the common pin is +5 or GND
11:05 AM Lcvette: so how would i connect that then?
11:05 AM * dremeier[m] uploaded an image: image.png (145KB) < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/GGHAXwlsorgZADozurYigBGS >
11:06 AM pcw_home: +5 to "OPTO" STEP- to "PULS" DIR- to "DIR"
11:06 AM dremeier[m]: pcw_home: Hello Peter, nice to see you here :-)
11:07 AM pcw_home: timings 10000,10000,20000,20000
11:07 AM pcw_home: Hi
11:08 AM Lcvette: ok great!
11:08 AM Lcvette: thats fsantastic news!
11:08 AM Lcvette: thank you Peter and Dremeier
11:09 AM pcw_home: weensy drive
11:09 AM Lcvette: its for the programmable coolant build for probe baic
11:09 AM pcw_home: Ahh
11:10 AM * Lcvette uploaded a video: video1fcc4fd8-a3e4-4c54-b6b8-ab29c83b8107video-1.mp4 (4415KB) < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/lwzcHHbxVFVesOOBtpUsFzSm >
11:11 AM Lcvette: pcw_home: ^^^
11:13 AM pcw_home: Ahh thats neat!, Will you have gcode for pointing it?
11:15 AM Lcvette: already written into probe basic
11:15 AM Lcvette: so an m6 tool change auto calulates the angle for the new tool length tip
11:17 AM * Lcvette uploaded an image: mspaint_puRKYseJ4O.png (13KB) < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/AcrtgcmvJzVfsjMrCLIxWsWC >
11:17 AM Lcvette: i have everything working in the sim
11:18 AM pcw_home: That's really nice
11:18 AM Lcvette: and added input boxes in the settings page for the machine specific data required for the nozzle angle
11:18 AM Lcvette: yeah im having fun building it for sure
11:22 AM * Lcvette uploaded an image: image.png (98KB) < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/dyJsPszonVFNaakYCHsWoibh >
11:23 AM Lcvette: this seems self explanatory, but i really don't wanna break anything else.. this is correct, no resistor required because the mesa card 5v+ correct?
11:31 AM pcw_home: Yep direct connection
11:31 AM pcw_home: (though normally you would not bother with the disable pin)
11:32 AM Lcvette: Ok
11:39 AM TurBoss: hello
11:41 AM TurBoss: Lcvette: did you find the virtual keypads?¿
11:59 AM Lcvette: Yes
11:59 AM Lcvette: I set them up but have some bugs
12:00 PM Lcvette: The mdi history dropdown fights the vkb
12:00 PM Lcvette: Space bar can't make it work
12:01 PM Lcvette: And need to have vkb escape key escape the vkb active
12:01 PM Lcvette: Otherwise I'd you decide to cancel vkb you can't and have to restart probe basic
12:01 PM TurBoss: ohhh

03:07 PM Lcvette: all i did was copy axis A in the hal and changed everythintg to 1 number letter up
03:08 PM Lcvette: ie joint-3 to joint-4, axis-a to axis-b, encoder-4 to encoder-5
03:09 PM Lcvette: are you around?

03:36 PM Lcvette: think there are more encoder things?
03:37 PM Lcvette: the motor is moving
03:37 PM Lcvette: so its wired correctly
03:39 PM TurBoss: I'll boot the machin and copy its config
03:39 PM dremeier[m]: have you increased the numbers of enoder in hm2?

03:43 PM dremeier[m]: you know talla83 on youtubeß, have a look
03:43 PM Lcvette: just have some errors
03:43 PM Lcvette: got it down to just one error nbow, following error
03:43 PM dremeier[m]: yeah!!!!
03:43 PM Lcvette: i think its because it doesn't have an encoder and the axis information i copied and used has encoders
03:46 PM Lcvette: home switch does not stop the axis either
03:46 PM TurBoss: Lcvette: Add thoose line back
03:46 PM TurBoss: found the issue

05:15 PM Lcvette: Here is the problem now
05:16 PM Lcvette: Last issue I can't resolve...
05:17 PM Lcvette: Halp!
05:24 PM Lcvette: hazzy you around?
05:29 PM pnimbus[m]: hey lcvette can you tell me about setting up and using a zero plate?
05:31 PM Lcvette: i fixed it!!! its working!!!
05:31 PM Lcvette: pnimbus: i don't have one myself
05:32 PM Lcvette: so very limited knowledge on using the tool touch off plate
05:32 PM Lcvette: dremeier is working on it though
05:32 PM Lcvette: perhaps he has some info that would be helpful
05:32 PM Lcvette: i wrote a VERY basic untested subroutine for it but i think he has mofified it to weork
05:33 PM Tom_L: what fixed it?
05:35 PM dremeier[m]: pnimbus: I´m not ready yet, but If you read all about G38 you will understand, there are a lot of examples in the Net.
05:36 PM dremeier[m]: If you stuck, let me know
05:40 PM roguish[m]: Lcvette: what motor are you working on? the squirt gun positioner?
05:44 PM Lcvette: yeah
05:45 PM Lcvette: got it working
05:45 PM Lcvette: missed a joint and axis name
05:45 PM roguish[m]: so did PCW help out?
05:45 PM Lcvette: he did, thanks
05:46 PM roguish[m]: he enjoys helping, especially with cool stuff..
05:56 PM Lcvette: Video uploading of movement on the coolant cannon
05:56 PM Lcvette: \o/
05:57 PM Lcvette: It could use a stronger motor
05:57 PM Lcvette: I can overpower it pretty easily
05:58 PM Lcvette: Going to have to see if the coolant lines dangling from it present an issue
05:58 PM Lcvette: May be a redesign in the near future
05:58 PM Lcvette: But, it's working and moving at the moment
06:16 PM Lcvette: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeeLkSg0Sws
06:37 PM Lcvette: no comments?
06:37 PM Lcvette: thats cool man!!
06:37 PM Lcvette: :D
06:37 PM Lcvette: \o/
06:49 PM Tom_L: nice
06:50 PM Tom_L: now sync it with Z feed so it follows the tool tip
06:51 PM Lcvette: it will be mounted to the head
06:51 PM Lcvette: so it stays aimed at the tool
06:52 PM Lcvette: have 4 nozzles to adjust to get the full length of the tool or at least douse the botom 2"
06:52 PM Lcvette: should work on all but really deep drilling ops
07:03 PM dremeier[m]: nice man, yeehaw
07:03 PM Lcvette: \o/
07:03 PM Lcvette: but i think the motor may need to be bigger
07:04 PM Lcvette: the nema14 20ozin stepper is pretty weak
07:04 PM dremeier[m]: or other gear
07:04 PM Lcvette: the gears barely fit
07:04 PM Lcvette: plus would be cheaper to change motors
07:04 PM dremeier[m]: the ratio
07:04 PM Lcvette: those gears were $50 shipped
07:04 PM dremeier[m]: wow
07:05 PM dremeier[m]: you have a ratio of 1:1?
07:06 PM dremeier[m]: or a belt3:1
07:06 PM dremeier[m]: cheaper
07:07 PM dremeier[m]: doesa bigger stepper will fit?
07:07 PM dremeier[m]: * does a bigger stepper will fit?
07:08 PM Lcvette: i would need to remake the case for it but that isn't a big deal
07:08 PM Lcvette: just some cad cam and machining
07:08 PM Lcvette: i think a decent sized Nema17 would do the trick
07:08 PM Lcvette: maybe eliminate the gears too and use a double shaft motor instead
07:09 PM Lcvette: would simplify it alot
07:10 PM dremeier[m]: I would use a simple rc servo and finish
07:11 PM Lcvette: how to control it with linuxcnc?
07:11 PM Tom_L: an arduino interface
07:12 PM Lcvette: yeah thats just getting complicated
07:12 PM Lcvette: this is a quick and easy wire
07:12 PM Lcvette: 3 wires to the mesa card and done
07:13 PM Lcvette: plug in the powr supply and put you config file in and go
07:13 PM TurBoss: yo
07:13 PM Lcvette: \o/
07:14 PM TurBoss: \o/
07:14 PM TurBoss: did move
07:14 PM TurBoss: ???
07:15 PM Lcvette: https://youtu.be/KeeLkSg0Sws
07:15 PM Lcvette: i ended up using pncconfig to make a hal and ini file and copied the b axis over to my hal and ini
07:16 PM Lcvette: crude, but it worked and go rid of the things i didn't need for the stepper motor
07:16 PM hazzy-m: yo
07:16 PM TurBoss: hey!
07:16 PM Lcvette: o/
07:25 PM TurBoss: great
07:37 PM * TurBoss heads to the installer stuff
07:39 PM hazzy-m: hurray!
07:39 PM hazzy-m: dremeier: you awake still?
07:43 PM Lcvette: Hurray
07:44 PM Lcvette: Hazzy can you t look at the vkb mdi keyboard and mdi history issue and the space bar not working?
08:21 PM dremeier[m]: <Lcvette "yeah thats just getting complica"> opposite, just a RC-Servo 5V and a PCM signal from a soft PWM generator, more easy, more cheap, more power, easy to handle
08:29 PM hazzy-m: dremeier: maybe I did not understand your needs, but this should give you the absolute machine pos in the Z axis #[5203 + [20 * #5220]]
08:34 PM Lcvette: Oooh, good call hazzy
08:35 PM Lcvette: dremeier (@dremeier:matrix.org): that will accept a pulse and direction from Mesa?

09:32 PM hazzy-m: This commit is huge for style sheets lol
09:32 PM hazzy-m: can't believe I didn't find this earlier
09:32 PM hazzy-m: now you can use relative file paths to icons in the style sheet
09:33 PM hazzy-m: no need for placing icons in resources and then loading from QSS

09:43 PM Lcvette: So i need to change things?
09:44 PM Lcvette: hazzy:^^^
09:53 PM Lcvette: TurBoss do you know how to control an rc servo with steep direction signals?
09:53 PM TurBoss: rc servos need other signal
09:53 PM TurBoss: pwm
09:54 PM Lcvette: That's what i thought to
09:54 PM Lcvette: Is the a step direction to pwn cover.
09:54 PM Lcvette: Converter
09:56 PM TurBoss: mesa can output pwm on a single pin
09:56 PM TurBoss: Lcvette: isn't the steper good
09:57 PM Lcvette: And that can position an rc servo?
09:57 PM Lcvette: Stepper is not strong enough
09:57 PM Lcvette: Baby
09:57 PM Lcvette: Nema14
09:58 PM TurBoss: my nema 23 drime my machine
09:58 PM Lcvette: 17ozin
09:58 PM TurBoss: how many amps do you provide to the motor?
09:58 PM TurBoss: 1?
09:58 PM Lcvette: .4
09:58 PM Lcvette: 0.4
09:59 PM TurBoss: to low
09:59 PM TurBoss: and microsteps?'
09:59 PM Tom_L: ja
09:59 PM Tom_L: what driver?
09:59 PM TurBoss: is 0.4 okish?
09:59 PM Tom_L: leadshine?
09:59 PM TurBoss: meybe he can make it stronger by delibering more amps ?¿
10:00 PM TurBoss: it will get hot
10:00 PM TurBoss: :P
10:00 PM TurBoss: Tom_L:?
10:01 PM Tom_L: wondered what driver he uses
10:01 PM Tom_L: if the driver has idle current shutdown it won't get hot
10:01 PM Tom_L: it may get warm
10:01 PM Lcvette: https://www.omc-stepperonline.com/nema-14-stepper-motor/nema-14-bipolar-1-8deg-14ncm-20oz-in-0-4a-12v-35x35x26mm-4-wires.html
10:01 PM Lcvette: That's the motor
10:02 PM Tom_L: damn that's small
10:02 PM Tom_L: for the coolant sprayer?
10:02 PM TurBoss: leadshine DM320
10:02 PM Lcvette: https://www.omc-stepperonline.com/digital-stepper-driver/digital-stepper-driver-03-22a-18-30vdc-for-nema-8-11-14-16-17-stepper-motor-dm320t.html
10:03 PM Lcvette: That's the driver
10:03 PM Tom_L: ibm floppy steppers were bigger than that
10:03 PM Lcvette: Was just looking it says 0.4a per phase
10:03 PM Lcvette: Should i set it to 1a?
10:03 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/motors/stepper4.jpg
10:03 PM TurBoss: Lcvette: do you use microsteps?
10:04 PM Lcvette: Yes
10:04 PM Lcvette: Have to
10:04 PM Tom_L: Lcvette, if it's chopper drive you can set it higher
10:04 PM Lcvette: Digital
10:04 PM TurBoss: Lcvette: micrsteps loose strenght
10:04 PM Lcvette: To get resolution since rotation is 1:1
10:05 PM TurBoss: 2x each division
10:05 PM Lcvette: I have the current setting on 0.5A-0.7A
10:05 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/motors/gearhead1.jpg
10:05 PM Tom_L: mebbe you need one of those
10:05 PM Lcvette: Ok going to test next current setting and reduce micro derivative
10:06 PM TurBoss: try only micrsteps for now
10:06 PM Lcvette: Ok
10:06 PM TurBoss: cool!
10:06 PM Tom_L: yeah, only test one at a time
10:12 PM Lcvette: Still very weak tried both things
10:12 PM Lcvette: Neither helped enough to notice
10:12 PM Lcvette: It's only 20ozin
10:14 PM Lcvette: I dont think it would be reliable
10:19 PM TurBoss: ok
10:35 PM Lcvette: Do you think Mesa can control pwm position servo?
10:37 PM Tom_L: i don't see why not
10:37 PM Lcvette: What would i need?
10:41 PM Tom_L: step & direction and encoder feedback
10:41 PM Tom_L: not sure what card
10:41 PM Tom_L: i don't use servos
10:42 PM Lcvette: Oh i mean a little rc servo
10:42 PM Tom_L: no
10:42 PM Tom_L: different kind of pwm
10:43 PM Tom_L: 2ms pulses every 20ms
10:43 PM Lcvette: Think i better just order a bigger stripper and redesign the case
10:43 PM Lcvette: Lol
10:43 PM Tom_L: 1-2ms full swing
