12:15 AM JamesW[m]: RacoonRider | MovT: my PID tuning setup. Has a custom panel in axis to be able to change configs. Also has hooks into speeds and stuff. Have a look and you can see what is useful.
02:16 AM JamesW[m]: hazzy: found this line in the gcode editor. Was wondering if you explain what it did? I believe it is emiting a signal but I'm not sure how I would hook into using it. ```STATUS.emit('mdi-line-selected', self.line_text, self._last_filename)```
05:54 AM RacoonRider|MovT: gmorning 🙂
05:55 AM RacoonRider|MovT: @JamesW Thanks a lot! Will test it this afternoon.
06:26 AM JT-Cave: morning
06:28 AM lmclaren[m]: hi, I am trying to use a rotary encoder from a 7i73 to increase / decrease the feed rate over ride, I am stuck trying to work out how to increment / decrement per click of the encoder instead of the absolute value of the encoder.
06:31 AM lmclaren[m]: I am guessing I need some sort of count_delta function to tell me the difference between the current a previous reading and then add it to the feed rate override but I can't find anything to do that.
06:35 AM JT-Cave: there would be more linuxcnc users in the #linuxcnc channel
06:35 AM lmclaren[m]: ahh, sorry
06:36 AM JT-Cave: you just might have more chances with 3 times the number of people
06:36 AM JT-Cave: when I wake up I'll take a look
06:37 AM lmclaren[m]: thanks, I will try it on the linuxcnc channel
06:40 AM Lcvette: morning

06:42 AM JT-Cave: lmclaren[m], https://forum.linuxcnc.org/24-hal-components/34002-simple-rotary-encoder-for-feed-override
06:42 AM Lcvette: @hazzy
06:42 AM Lcvette: im trying to remove some errors from probe basic lathe startup but i cannot find the last 2
06:43 AM Lcvette: i also can't seem to make a lathe sim work without throwing complaint
06:43 AM lmclaren[m]: thanks, I am reading it now
06:47 AM lmclaren[m]: unless I am misunderstanding the linked article, it is using the absolute value, I am using the hardware interface for the encoder so it is possible for it to have a large count in it at start, I am guessing that if I then clicked it to increase 1, it would apply the whole count. Have I understood it correctly?
06:47 AM lmclaren[m]: I am guessing I could zero the counter at start?
06:49 AM JT-Cave: that's not an article just a forum post
06:50 AM JT-Cave: I didn't read the post carefully I just searched a bit
06:52 AM lmclaren[m]: no problem, thanks.

08:20 AM Lcvette: ok i was able to get it up and running with the lathe sim
08:20 AM Lcvette: so that should be sorted i think
08:21 AM Lcvette: but it is starting in the homed position which i don't like for testing purposes since homing changes things

10:34 AM Lcvette: hazzy, will the x axis dro change with G7 and G8?
10:37 AM Lcvette: it has been sooo long since i ran a lathe screen
10:37 AM hazzy-m: you can make it change
10:37 AM Lcvette: i need some input on things to finish everything up

12:38 PM Lcvette: i figured how to add the columns, was easy
12:39 PM Lcvette: but would like to change the names associated for better understanding
12:39 PM TurBoss: but not a tooltable
12:39 PM TurBoss: its a offset table?

12:41 PM TurBoss: so... does it work?
12:41 PM Lcvette: but how to i adjust the names that get displayed?
12:42 PM Lcvette: ie D = Diameter currently but for lathe would be better maybe as nose radius?
12:43 PM Lcvette: and im not sure how it handles the nose radius and the diameter for a drill type tool
12:43 PM Lcvette: seems like it would be two different things?
12:43 PM Lcvette: unless the orientation number translates drill tools?
12:44 PM TurBoss: sorry I don't know about lathe
12:44 PM Lcvette: i have never used linuxcnc lathe so im unsure on this
12:44 PM Lcvette: we need a lathe user
12:53 PM Lcvette: TurBoss: where do the column header words come from turboss?
12:54 PM hazzy-m: Lcvette: why would a lathe need to know about drill dia?
12:55 PM Lcvette: i guess for programming its not important
12:58 PM Lcvette: does it need the front and back angle?
12:58 PM Lcvette: hazzy: does it need the front and back angle column you think?
01:02 PM Lcvette: TurBoss: where are the tool table headers located?
01:17 PM Lcvette: hazzy: ?
01:17 PM Lcvette: TurBoss: ?
01:18 PM TurBoss: duno
01:18 PM Lcvette: turboss made the table
01:18 PM TurBoss: sorry a bit afk
01:18 PM Lcvette: lol
01:18 PM Lcvette: ok
01:18 PM Lcvette: i did not find in tooltable.py or properties editor
01:18 PM TurBoss: I'll take a look latter
01:18 PM Lcvette: not sure where else to look
01:18 PM TurBoss: :=)
01:20 PM TurBoss: qtpyvcp/plugins/tool_table.py line 87
01:20 PM hazzy-m: TurBoss: yes, front and back angle are required
01:21 PM hazzy-m: * Lcvette: yes, front and back angle are required
01:21 PM TurBoss: but is the same field?¿
01:21 PM TurBoss: i mean a new one or rename some?
01:21 PM hazzy-m: sorry TurBoss

01:23 PM Lcvette: no should be good i think
01:23 PM Lcvette: i don't see thwta thing turboss posted though
01:23 PM Lcvette: maybe im looking in the wrong place?
01:23 PM TurBoss: :/
01:24 PM TurBoss: not in PB
01:24 PM TurBoss: on qtpyvcp
01:24 PM TurBoss: maybe what hazzy says is a good idea
01:24 PM hazzy-m: Lcvette: do you want to change the column labels?
01:24 PM Lcvette: im in qtpyvcp/widgets/input_widgets/tool_table.py
01:24 PM Lcvette: yes\
01:25 PM Lcvette: I would like to make DIAMETER in to radius
01:25 PM Lcvette: since most tool manufacturers supply the radius
01:25 PM Lcvette: but i think that may require a calculation to double it for linuxcnc?
01:25 PM Lcvette: and it would be only for lathe
01:25 PM Lcvette: maybe mill and lathe need two different tables?

01:29 PM Lcvette: hazzy: is there a way to use radius instead of diameter in the table?
01:29 PM Lcvette: without it messing up mill?
01:33 PM hazzy-m: we could at an lathe option
01:33 PM hazzy-m: add
01:33 PM Lcvette: i think having radius would be better
01:33 PM Lcvette: for lathe

01:38 PM Lcvette: :o
01:38 PM Lcvette: but this would change mill too i think since its an edit to the widget itse'f

01:45 PM Lcvette: how to do?
02:02 PM roguish[m]: hazzy: hey, do you know linux networking very well? i'm having serious issues with BUSTER networking.....
02:13 PM hazzy-m: roguish: I do not, just enough to get myself in trouble
02:53 PM JamesW[m]: hazzy: found this line in the gcode editor. Was wondering if you explain what it did? I believe it is emiting a signal but I'm not sure how I would hook into using it.: STATUS.emit('mdi-line-selected', self.line_text, self._last_filename)
02:53 PM hazzy-m: JamesW: morning
02:53 PM JamesW[m]: Hi ya
02:54 PM hazzy-m: That is left over from QtVCP, I'm not sure what it did
02:54 PM JamesW[m]: im not even sure that emit line works. But the signal stuff in qt is something I still coming to grips with.
02:55 PM JamesW[m]: ah - snqp
02:57 PM hazzy-m: so signal.emit(payload) sends a signal in Qt. Any call back that's has been connected to the signal using signal.connect(callback) will be called and passed the payload as arguments
02:57 PM JamesW[m]: So i have the function it is in hooked up to cursor change signal from qci. That is essentially a close to a line select that i can get. But i need a way to “publis” that change.
02:57 PM JamesW[m]: trying to do this in a way that is not hard wiring widgets together.
02:59 PM JamesW[m]: Is the string the name of the class var that the pyqtsignal instance is connected to?
03:00 PM hazzy-m: JamesW: have you thought about using a list widget for the MDI command, and a stack to switch what is shown depending on the mode, rather than trying to use the editor for both?
03:02 PM hazzy-m: I think he was probably using one signal for multiple events, and distinguishing why the signal was emited with that string
03:03 PM JamesW[m]: K
03:04 PM JamesW[m]: hmmm. Maybe Im trying to excessively overload this it is a UI pattern I am used to BUT it might not be a good one.
03:04 PM hazzy-m: No, I'm wrong, QtVCP used gobject messaging system, not Qt signals, so that 'mdi-line-selected' is the name of the gobject signal
03:05 PM JamesW[m]: perhaps we make a design decision now that gcode editor is for displaying gcode or editing ot
03:05 PM JamesW[m]: it
03:05 PM JamesW[m]: END OF STORY
03:05 PM JamesW[m]: means a lot of excessive code can be dumped
03:06 PM Lcvette: whats wrong with the gcode editor?
03:06 PM Lcvette: i love it
03:06 PM hazzy-m: it's definitely a valid approach, but it can make things more complicated then necessary. My general view is that each widget should only do one thing, but do it well
03:07 PM JamesW[m]: Same. Hence me suggestion.
03:07 PM hazzy-m: Lcvette: nothing, JamesW was working on making it display MDI history when in manual mode
03:08 PM JamesW[m]: which is what its qtvcp implementation was intended to do
03:08 PM JamesW[m]: and i have it doing it.
03:09 PM JamesW[m]: but Im starting think ita becoming a frankenstien monster
03:16 PM hazzy-m: Re: MDI History - Currently its stored in ~/.axis-mdihistory, but this causes problems if somebody is running multiple configs on a single PC since the commands from multiple machines can get mixed (usually not a big deal, but if you ran a lathe and a mill it could be)
03:17 PM hazzy-m: is everyone ok if I move the storage location to a config specific file?
03:17 PM JamesW[m]: You could have that name part of the yaml config
03:18 PM hazzy-m: excellent idea
03:18 PM JamesW[m]: lol - snap
03:20 PM hazzy-m: or maybe specified in INI, since its more of a machine setting than an VCP setting ...
03:20 PM JamesW[m]: true
03:21 PM hazzy-m: ```ini
03:21 PM hazzy-m: [DISPLAY]
03:21 PM hazzy-m: MDI_HISTORY_FILE = ~/.axis-mdihistory
03:21 PM JamesW[m]: but in a real world scenario is it realistic to have a computer running multiple machines?
03:23 PM JamesW[m]: out of the whole setup the computer running things is one of the cheap bits
03:24 PM hazzy-m: not many people do it, but I know at least two that do
03:24 PM hazzy-m: andy is one of them
03:25 PM JamesW[m]: Its pretty easy to push that var out to ini. So not anti it. Just testing the real need.
03:25 PM hazzy-m: https://forum.linuxcnc.org/21-axis/6425-mdi-history
03:26 PM JamesW[m]: Got to be using ether cards for that I am guessing?
03:33 PM hazzy-m: I guess so, or a DB25 switch to parport BOBs or mesa daughter cards

03:34 PM hazzy-m: like this lol
03:41 PM JamesW[m]: Like I said, ahould be easy to push out to ini file.
03:45 PM hazzy-m: its already in the INI :O
03:46 PM hazzy-m: [DISPLAY] MDI_HISTORY_FILE
03:46 PM * hazzy-m has been doing this too long and has forgot what he did
03:46 PM JamesW[m]: hazzy: gonna revert the mdi stuff been doing in gcode editor. Like u said, single purpose widget.
03:47 PM JamesW[m]: But still good clean up progress made.
03:47 PM TurBoss: hello
03:47 PM TurBoss: what about the simple editor branch?
03:47 PM hazzy-m: JamesW: excellent. Sorry I should have said something yesterday
03:48 PM hazzy-m: TurBoss: Yes, that too, I think its close to being finished. Is it in a JT branch?
03:48 PM JamesW[m]: Plus the improvement to mdi history updates to central location. Which means it accessible
03:49 PM TurBoss: its on kcjeng
03:49 PM TurBoss: * its on kcjengr
03:50 PM TurBoss: that or fix find/replace on regular edito
03:50 PM TurBoss: I'll do that first
03:50 PM TurBoss: I completely forgot
03:55 PM JamesW[m]: Been looking at the mdi line edit and think the history display it does might be a little unintuitive.
03:55 PM JamesW[m]: I think it starts its display with the oldest first.

04:04 PM hazzy-m: JamesW: it displays "most relevant", so what it displays changes as you start typing
04:04 PM hazzy-m: the pop up is a completer, so not an ordered list of commands
04:04 PM hazzy-m: I'm not a big fan of it
04:05 PM JamesW[m]: Yes can see that from code. But often i just want to repeat one of my last 1 to 3 entries. They should be the first thing displayed.
04:05 PM hazzy-m: agreed
04:05 PM JamesW[m]: It would be ordered if we sort the base text list it is operating off?
04:07 PM JamesW[m]: Or is that all lost once it goes into the completer?
04:08 PM hazzy-m: I think it's all lost, as the complete sorts based on the entered text
04:08 PM JamesW[m]: Ah
04:09 PM hazzy-m: probably be better just to have a popup with the last 15 commands in order
04:12 PM JamesW[m]: Right. Need to get ass going. Got a fixture pallet to make today. And trying to decide of do on manual mill or cnc bf20. I can do in on setup on manual mill (edgea and holes) but sooo many holes. Or two setups, edges on manual mill then move to cnc, indicate in, clamp and auto drill, ream etc 60 plus holes.
04:12 PM JamesW[m]: Re popup. Thats my plan for my gui. Need to figure out how to do but its feeling like the cleanest path.
04:19 PM hazzy-m: sounds like a CNC job, even with having to use two setups
04:20 PM JamesW[m]: Thats where Im leaning. Just sooo many sodding holes.
04:21 PM JamesW[m]: I will still have to tap by hand since dont have reverse working on mill under cnc control. Waiting for servo spindle motor which will simplify all that.
04:22 PM JamesW[m]: But can position accurately using mdi

05:18 PM TurBoss: for the vtk stuff?
05:19 PM TurBoss: what do you mean the tool orientation?
05:23 PM Lcvette: the tool cone
05:23 PM Lcvette: on lathe the tool moves with the x axis

05:25 PM Lcvette: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sek8E0_fxU

05:57 PM Lcvette: has not broken
05:57 PM TurBoss: it requires some changes
05:57 PM Lcvette: oh?
05:58 PM Lcvette: what changes?

06:00 PM TurBoss: cool
06:00 PM TurBoss: this makes use of the qml included on probe_basic
06:00 PM Lcvette: what is the branch?
06:00 PM TurBoss: there is a folder named widgets
06:00 PM TurBoss: in probebasic
06:00 PM Lcvette: yes?
06:00 PM Lcvette: :o
06:01 PM TurBoss: yes we will place widgets there
06:01 PM TurBoss: that belong to probebasic only
06:01 PM Lcvette: \o/
06:01 PM Lcvette: nice!
06:01 PM TurBoss: like custom widgets
06:01 PM Lcvette: so no need to install qtpyvcp?
06:02 PM Lcvette: or still needs
06:02 PM TurBoss: yes still need
06:02 PM TurBoss: just a power tranfer
06:02 PM Lcvette: ok
06:03 PM Lcvette: so we will add widgets to probe_bnasic_lathe folder too?
06:03 PM Lcvette: or should all branches share the widgets folder?
06:03 PM Lcvette: * or should all branches share a universal probe basic widgets folder?
06:03 PM Lcvette: TurBoss: ^^
06:04 PM TurBoss: hmm... no..
06:05 PM TurBoss: there will be 2 widgets there dynatc and the lathe tool toutchoff
06:05 PM Lcvette: so should we move it to a neutral folder?
06:05 PM Lcvette: right now its inside the probe_basic mill folder
06:05 PM TurBoss: hmmmm
06:05 PM Lcvette: probe basic verttical will also need access
06:06 PM Lcvette: i did it? good idea or no?
06:06 PM TurBoss: yes
06:06 PM TurBoss: good catch
06:06 PM Lcvette: unless we are going to make each opne a stand alone install
06:07 PM Lcvette: but i figured maybe be good to have all three available
06:07 PM Lcvette: in one installed package
06:08 PM TurBoss: ok
06:12 PM TurBoss: I'm doing the changes
06:12 PM TurBoss: to move one level up
06:14 PM Lcvette: Ok
06:15 PM TurBoss: I'm unsure about the move
06:15 PM TurBoss: ...
06:15 PM TurBoss: @hazzy you arround?
06:16 PM TurBoss: what about to have the external widgets one in the root folder because probebasic has many vcp for lathe and vertical
06:17 PM TurBoss: Lcvette: we can go the by having each widget on ecah vcp for now..
06:18 PM TurBoss: but if some one reqiires both...
06:18 PM TurBoss: yep
06:18 PM TurBoss: I'll push the changes ane we can test
06:18 PM TurBoss: * I'll push the changes and we can test
