[04:46:30] <machine1> hi
[04:47:29] <machine1> I'm stuck with MESA PWM generation for Spindle. I can't find lot of help about it on teh web. thanks in advance
[07:09:28] <Tom_itx> machine1, http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/drivers/hostmot2.html#_pwmgen
[07:09:38] <Tom_itx> http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/examples/spindle.html
[08:42:26] <cradek> machine1: I suggest trying the #linuxcnc channel because you are not asking a development related question. also, it's not clear what your question is, so go there and explain what your setup is, what problem you are having exactly, and what you have tried already to fix it
[09:19:38] <seb_kuzminsky> all these intermittent test failures bug me
[09:46:38] <KGB-linuxcnc> 03Sebastian Kuzminsky 052.6 d71e0ec 06linuxcnc 10tests/halui/jogging/halui.ini 10tests/halui/jogging/test-ui.py 10tests/halui/mdi/halui.ini 10tests/halui/mdi/test-ui.py tests: better tracing output in halui tests * 14http://git.linuxcnc.org/?p=linuxcnc.git;a=commitdiff;h=d71e0ec
[11:01:11] <seb_kuzminsky> i have a theory about the halui mdi failure last night
[11:03:03] <seb_kuzminsky> i think the test told halui to start an mdi command, and then while it was running it told halui to start another
[11:04:12] <seb_kuzminsky> halui is racy in how it handles what task mode to return to, and i think it incorrectly chose to return to mdi instead of auto like the test expected
[11:05:07] <seb_kuzminsky> the connection between the test program and halui is poorly synchronized, and the connection between halui and task is poorly synchronized, and those two sources of timing slop can cause this error
[11:11:17] <seb_kuzminsky> contemplating introducing the necessary synchronization primitives is giving me cold sweats
[13:09:07] <deanputney> hello
[13:43:37] <micges> deanputney: hi
[13:46:00] <deanputney> Hi!
[13:46:07] <deanputney> I am starting to set up LinuxCNC here
[13:46:19] <deanputney> and I was wondering if it was practical to try to run it in a Docker container
[13:48:53] <Tom_itx> you might be better off in the main channel instead of devel
[13:52:28] <deanputney> OK, is that #linuxcnc?
[13:52:47] <Tom_itx> yup
[13:53:24] <deanputney> Thanks!
[18:00:57] <kwallace2> After an embarrassing diversion, I got Axis to show the A axis backplot. The fix was in placing "A" at the beginning of the GEOMETRY tag in DISPLAY, just like Andy and Chris said.
[18:02:10] <kwallace2> Now the problem is that the A axis move is based on the machine origin which is less than desirable.
[18:14:27] <kwallace2> It looks like Vismach handles rotary axes well. https://videobin.org/+87i/b0b.html
[18:15:38] <kwallace2> I'm wondering why Vismach isn't used for backplotting.
[19:20:59] <seb_kuzminsky> hmm, i think i can fix the halui race problem without adding synchronization in hal
[19:25:29] <PCW> Yay?
[20:17:21] <skunksleep> Well I survived hernia surgery
[20:25:47] <kwallace> skunksleep, I hope it wasn't too traumatic.
[20:44:19] <skunksleep> Day surgery.. Pretty smooth
[20:45:34] <skunksleep> Kwallace, how are the planning to keep linuxcnc up to date?
[20:53:14] <zeeshan> skunksleep: glad it went well
[20:59:32] <kwallace> skunksleep, sorry, I don't know about updating or keeping in sync with LinuxCNC. So far I think it has been done to our own fork by hand, but I could be wrong.
[21:00:07] <kwallace> skunksleep, did you get the mesh?
[21:02:36] <kwallace> I need to get my inguinal hernia fixed one of these days.
[21:14:22] <skunksleep> The first surgery 3 years ago they didn't use mesh - this time they did
[21:17:52] <skunksleep> About 15 years ago I had a inguinal hernia fixed but I don't know if they used mesh
[21:49:00] <kwallace> Ugh, so you had three surgeries? I used to do a fair amount of lifting, I'm hoping to get that ability back. I still do some lifting but I don't think I should.
[21:51:55] <skunksleep> I have a weak abdominal wall. Runs in the family
[22:21:36] <seb_kuzminsky> skunksleep: i wish you a quick recovery & i hope it stays fixed this time
[22:29:42] <skunksleep> Thanks.. I am fine if I don't move :)
[22:31:30] <seb_kuzminsky> have you trained stella to fetch you beer yet?
[22:32:57] <cradek> yikes, get well soon sam
[22:43:29] <KGB-linuxcnc> 03Sebastian Kuzminsky 052.6 149db90 06linuxcnc 10src/emc/usr_intf/halui.cc halui: don't forget the Task mode when queueing MDI commands * 14http://git.linuxcnc.org/?p=linuxcnc.git;a=commitdiff;h=149db90
[22:43:42] <seb_kuzminsky> cradek: can you take a look at that commit? i think it's right
[22:43:51] <skunksleep> Heh... Just trying too keep her from jumping on me
[22:44:15] <seb_kuzminsky> i think it fixes the intermittent halui/mdi failure in the buildbot
[22:51:35] <cradek> I agree, I think it's right
[23:01:43] <seb_kuzminsky> thanks
[23:25:30] <KGB-linuxcnc> 03Sebastian Kuzminsky 052.7 32d437e 06linuxcnc 10src/emc/usr_intf/halui.cc Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/2.6' into 2.7 * 14http://git.linuxcnc.org/?p=linuxcnc.git;a=commitdiff;h=32d437e
[23:26:12] <seb_kuzminsky> well that merge was harder than i expected
[23:26:55] <seb_kuzminsky> the nml stuff in 2.7 is much cleaner than in 2.6, and the halui change i just made in 2.6 was near some of those improvements
