01:27 AM TurBoss: good morning
02:20 AM Joco[m]: morning JT
02:22 AM TurBoss: > morning JT
02:22 AM TurBoss: yep I JT too but not the real one
02:24 AM Joco[m]: oops - miss read txt - need glasses on
02:24 AM TurBoss: :P
02:24 AM Joco[m]: yeah - thats a worry
02:24 AM Joco[m]: getting old
02:25 AM TurBoss: whats up?¿
02:26 AM Joco[m]: been tinkering on little cnc
02:26 AM Joco[m]: just having dinner now
02:27 AM TurBoss: profit
02:35 AM Joco[m]: going to make some T nuts. Thread mill em. all a little fun
04:46 AM JT-Cave: morning
05:09 AM * Joco[m] uploaded an image: ima_b10d62d.jpeg (175KB) < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/aIUWgZLcklNuBqtsYMqYUHUE >
05:10 AM Joco[m]: My t nuts ready to be split. All cnc’d for fun. Including thread milling.
05:11 AM JT[m]: nice
05:12 AM Joco[m]: its just some scrap 12mm stock. But first ones done on cnc mill using my new gui. modeled in Fusion and prog worked first time. I'm getting much better at working feeds and speeds now.
05:55 AM hazzy-m: Joco: nice
05:56 AM Joco[m]: cheers.
06:00 AM Joco[m]: discovered some screwy behaviour with that editor branch today. Not sure if its a Debian quirk, linuxcnc version quirk or what. On my dev laptop using latest 2.8 RIP under Linuxmint i get the correct colors on startup. using either develop or non-develop modes. Under Debian with 2.8 deb install it doesn't give correct color
06:00 AM Joco[m]: background of editor is white
06:00 AM Joco[m]: even if --develop mode. I have to save the qss file to force refresh and then it works
06:26 AM JT-Cave: I can't get any QT color on my Rpi touch screen
06:51 AM Joco[m]: tomorrow I'm going to try doing a remote connection debug to the debian box and see if I can see what is happening.
09:37 AM Lcvette: morning
09:44 AM TurBoss: morning
10:37 AM TurBoss: Lcvette: what about the 1000 tools?
10:37 AM TurBoss: you played with=
12:32 PM Lcvette: TurBoss: not yet except in test pc
12:33 PM Lcvette: im with lathe trying to resolve some issues with my x axis
12:33 PM Lcvette: seems it has very high backlash or stiction
12:34 PM Lcvette: i have never used backlash compensation in linuxcnc
12:34 PM Lcvette: trying to figure that out right now
01:44 PM Joco[m]: Lcvette: are you planning to use simple backlash or full ball screw mapping?
01:47 PM Joco[m]: <JT-Cave "I can't get any QT color on my R"> Is it possibly a display driver issue?
01:49 PM JT-Cave: the Rpi boots up to a nice color display... but QT does not have any colors
01:52 PM Joco[m]: Yeah. But could that be due to QT wanting some opengl features that are not there? Or similar?
02:18 PM Joco[m]: Question: what OS are people using on their non dev cnc machines?
03:30 PM JT-Shop: Debian 10 with the Mate desktop here
03:31 PM roguish[m]: debian 9 with Mate
04:21 PM Joco[m]: cheers - I'm on 9 not sure of the desktop, what is default on the linuxcnc 9 iso
04:21 PM Joco[m]: errr 9 is stretch isn't it?
04:24 PM roguish[m]: Joco: yeah, i think 9 is stretch, 10 is buster. i personally think the names are dumb. not sure but I think apple started all the naming nonsense.
04:25 PM Joco[m]: roguish: it would be nice if they could just stick with version numbers. Makes it much simpler

04:26 PM roguish[m]: I might have to come down and watch.....
04:28 PM Joco[m]: auckland is a great venue for it. Even if I'm not a great Auckland fan from a city persepctive
04:30 PM roguish[m]: got a couple of yatchy friends there.
04:32 PM Joco[m]: well if you have not been to NZ it's a good excuse to pop down. Watch some races then have a look around the place
04:59 PM Joco[m]: hazzy: I might have found a couple editor coloring of bugs that are impacting on Debian. Not sure. If I am right, do I just keep adding to the pull or is that going to cause you issues on the refinements you have been doing?
07:03 PM Joco[m]: okay I'm stumped. Something VERY screwy is going on.
07:05 PM Joco[m]: I can trace into the initliaze() method on gcode_editor.py cose the break point triggers. I have print statements in there to track to standart out entry and exit and THEY DO NOT PRINT. In fact execution is jumping past the other lines in this method.
07:17 PM roguish[m]: OK, topped out at 99.5 F today....
07:49 PM Joco[m]: <roguish[m] "OK, topped out at 99.5 F today."> silly warm
08:27 PM Joco[m]: resolved tracing issue. But still not solved coloring bug. What is working on dev laptop is not working under Debian 9 box
10:34 PM Joco[m]: interesting ....
10:49 PM Joco[m]: hazzy: solved the coloring problem by including these lines inside my main UI class:
10:49 PM Joco[m]: ``` self.btnParams.clicked.connect(self.btnParams_clicked)
10:49 PM Joco[m]: self.btnMdiBksp.clicked.connect(self.mdiBackSpace_clicked)
10:49 PM Joco[m]: * hazzy: solved the coloring problem by including these lines inside my main UI class:
10:49 PM Joco[m]: ```self.btnParams.clicked.connect(self.btnParams_clicked)self.btnMdiBksp.clicked.connect(self.mdiBackSpace_clicked)
10:49 PM Joco[m]: ```

10:51 PM * Joco[m] sent a long message: < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/yqvBpuDjbFLIOvpHIAKAzojV >
11:06 PM Joco[m]: so it looks like there is some slight difference between the 2.9 packages relating to qt5-qsci on Debian 9 and the 2.10 version that I have on Mint. Where I don't need to put in this "hack" work around.
