[08:56:12] <seb_kuzminsky> either that or actually debug it :-/
[08:57:55] <jepler> all I see in the tracebacks is, one CPU is idle and the other is trying to figure out why something's hung
[08:59:45] <jepler> I wonder if after that flurry it always prints the thing about changing timesource
[09:00:54] <jepler> if so I bet it's a virtualization-related problem
[09:01:10] <jepler> too bad there's not a 'virtualize *time*' option in qemu

[15:33:07] <cradek> jepler: http://www.fsf.org/news/canonical-updated-licensing-terms
[15:33:17] <cradek> especially interesting is the paragraph starting "Today's"
[15:49:42] <cradek> also "It would be helpful for the FSF..."
[15:49:58] <cradek> they would probably be interested in our story, if someone cares to tell it
[16:33:20] <mozmck> There needs to be a way to put up only one error when the 7i92 card gets disconnected.
[16:35:07] <mozmck> Right now I get an endless stream of notifications "Error Message" "hm2/hm2_7i92.0:error finishing read! iter=1856796"
[16:35:58] <jepler> I don't think hostmot2 in general has a way to deal with an entire lost hostmot2 card
[16:37:22] <jepler> it's somewhere on my stack of not started hm2_eth improvements to deal gracefully with small numbers of lost packets
[16:40:32] <jepler> dealing better with an unplugged or powered off card might fall out of that
[16:40:39] <mozmck> Hmm, I would be willing to work on that if I'm pointed in the right direction! In XFCE it seems the notifications (using gscreen) do not go away either - you have to click each one.
[16:42:43] <jepler> there's llio's io_error
[16:43:23] <jepler> one possibility is that hm2_eth should set it before returning with an error from its functions called by e.g., hm2_tram_read
[16:43:42] <jepler> just like 7i43 does
[16:43:42] <jepler> if (hm2_7i43_epp_check_for_timeout(board)) {
[16:43:42] <jepler> THIS_PRINT("EPP timeout on data cycle of read(addr=0x%04x, size=%d)\n", addr, size);
[16:43:45] <jepler> (*this->io_error) = 1;
[16:45:16] <jepler> that would fix the infinite spew of errors, but it might have to be undone as a first step of handling occasional missing ethernet packets..
[16:47:15] <mozmck> ok, I'll try and look at the code before long. thanks!
[16:48:24] <jepler> good luck! I'll review whatever you come up with, I am probably most familiar with that code atm
[16:48:50] <jepler> I can see it would be inconvenient to end up with 1000 operating system notification pop-ups every second :-/
[21:54:38] <jepler> huh I don't know what was wrong with the forum, but doing a "clear cache" in the admin interface fixed it
[21:54:50] <jepler> there were lots of log errors like
[21:54:50] <jepler> [Mon Jan 25 13:57:58.547767 2016] [:error] [pid 7404] [client 79.161.33.46:59743] PHP Notice: unserialize(): Error at offset 2965692 of 2970227 bytes in /var/www/html/libraries/joomla/cache/controller.php on line 203, referer: https://www.google.no

[22:24:13] <strokercrate> hiya
[22:25:37] <seb_kuzminsky> oi
[22:26:37] <strokercrate> Hows it going?
[22:34:30] <strokercrate> I have a question in regards to slave axis homing and logic ladder and if what I have an Idea with is possible.
[22:36:29] <seb_kuzminsky> ok
[22:39:42] <strokercrate> Basically I was wondering if you could build a ladder that would allow the system to home on a slave by triggering the step signal to be killed on the slave motor once the first limit is tripped for a set amount of time. Then it reinitializes the slave with a timer and shuts the main drive off and triggers another home for the slaved axis only allowing the slave to auto square? and once done reinitializing the whole ax
[22:39:42] <strokercrate> is that has a slave?
[22:40:41] <seb_kuzminsky> a general scheme like that could probably be made to work
[22:40:59] <seb_kuzminsky> but i wouldn't use ladder for the first attempt personally
[22:41:39] <strokercrate> I tried gantrykins, But for some reason I could not ever get a good rapid without a following error
[22:42:02] <seb_kuzminsky> i doubt that's gantrykins' fault
[22:42:11] <strokercrate> I eventually made the slave a manual home. So i was contemplating this route
[22:42:17] <seb_kuzminsky> gantrykins has some problems, but ferror at rapid isnt one of them afaik
[22:42:34] <seb_kuzminsky> some of us have been batting around an idea similar to yours
[22:43:13] <seb_kuzminsky> whereby you would mark the two gantry joints as being part of a group, and they would proceed through the homing state machine in a kind of lock-step
[22:43:19] <strokercrate> I could only rapid it at about 120ipm.. But without gantrykins with a slave tied to Y through another output pin I can get 500ipm
[22:43:21] <seb_kuzminsky> like you suggested above
[22:44:09] <strokercrate> Yes, WinCNC does something similar to what im contemplating. I was unaware others have been working on it in a similar way.
[22:44:32] <seb_kuzminsky> it's mostly a gleam in cradek's eye at the moment
[22:44:53] <seb_kuzminsky> the work-in-progress is in the synchronized-homing branch, here: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/commits/synchronized-homing
[22:46:10] <strokercrate> I wonder why this is difficult in LinuxCNC, But Mach, UCCNC and WinCNC have no problem? Is it because of the linux rtai system?
[22:46:49] <seb_kuzminsky> do you mean why it's difficult to set up an auto-squaring gantry in linuxcnc?
[22:47:29] <seb_kuzminsky> the answer to that is that lots of people run gantry machines (including me), but no one has written the code to do auto-squaring yet
[22:48:12] <seb_kuzminsky> i carefully located my two home switches so that they trip when the gantry is square, then home the two gantry joints together
[22:48:52] <seb_kuzminsky> it accomplishes the same result, but without the nice feature that you and cradek have thought about, where the gantry becomes more square gradually throughout the homing process
[22:49:39] <strokercrate> So basically you are using switches to dead stop a drive?
[22:51:09] <strokercrate> Oh I see what you are doing now, nevermind.
[22:59:42] <seb_kuzminsky> just regular home switches
[22:59:53] <mozmck> strokercrate: there is a component called gantry.comp that will work...
[23:00:55] <mozmck> I've just been working on this stuff, and I am using that for now, because it was going to take too long to get synchronized homing AND joint-axes working for me.
[23:01:21] <strokercrate> I don't think I noticed that in my research.
[23:01:46] <mozmck> but gantry.comp is not in linuxcnc repositories that I'm aware of - I lifted it from machinekit ;-)
[23:02:22] <mozmck> I'll have to find some links.
[23:02:35] <strokercrate> ahh, I have yet to toy with machinekit, Have debated about it with a beaglebone.
[23:03:23] <mozmck> I haven't used it, and I sure wouldn't try it on a plasma table like I'm working with!
[23:04:57] <strokercrate> Just built a plasma using WinCNC, but dang it cost to much.
[23:05:52] <mozmck> gantry.comp has the limitation that when a switch trips it stops that joint immediately (no decel). I looked at it at some length and determined that there is no good way to add decel. But, in practice you can set your homing speed at a decent rate unless your motors are really wimpy.
[23:06:30] <mozmck> I've never used WinCNC.
[23:07:42] <strokercrate> Its a decent system, and the guys that run it are awesome. But the cost, well its heavy at times. I personally love linuxcnc more then the others I have used thus far.
[23:07:52] <mozmck> I think that a sychronized homing is really the way to go. The hal component is a stop-gap measure.
[23:09:05] <strokercrate> Well, a direct stop atm would be a great benefit, even if its a few thousands off in square, most router applications thats not a problem
[23:09:46] <seb_kuzminsky> mozmck: does the output of gantry.comp become the command to a stepgen?
[23:10:02] <seb_kuzminsky> if so you could run it through limit3 to get decel
[23:11:37] <mozmck> limit3? I guess I should look at that. Yes, although I'm using pcw's PID stuff and the stepgen gets the velocity output of the pid
[23:11:54] <strokercrate> I would love to toy with this.
[23:13:02] <seb_kuzminsky> mozmck: i should connect you with Brian Hicks, who contacted me recently about a hy-vfd bug that he had fixed
[23:13:05] <seb_kuzminsky> he was looking at gantry.comp too
[23:14:21] <mozmck> interesting. I worked on it for a while. There is also a version called gantry_latching that is supposed to work better for the homing method I use where it moves off the switch.
[23:15:17] <mozmck> But I could never get that one to work - it would trip all switches and then have a following error. The standard one works well enough though.
[23:16:35] <strokercrate> Do you remember where the info is located, not really finding references in a search
[23:16:47] <mozmck> Let me look again - hold on...
[23:18:10] <strokercrate> think I just found it. lgantry.icomp?
[23:18:38] <mozmck> no - the icomp is a new machinekit thing. It is mostly the same...
[23:20:46] <strokercrate> oh, okay
[23:22:11] <seb_kuzminsky> https://sourceforge.net/p/emc/mailman/message/32654660/
[23:27:07] <strokercrate> The link within to the github turns a 404, a manual search through components shows its not there.
[23:27:52] <seb_kuzminsky> this was the final version of gantry.comp before it became an icomp: https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/blob/0e1acad530651837e0c13c704850c69cf2c2acef/src/hal/components/gantry.comp
[23:29:21] <seb_kuzminsky> looks like charles steinkuehler was the only person to commit to it, which agrees with the copyright at the top of the file
[23:29:39] <strokercrate> Awesome Thanks, this gives me something to toy with
[23:30:01] <seb_kuzminsky> let us know what you find out!
[23:30:40] <mozmck> thanks seb - I can look up more stuff tomorrow.
[23:32:18] <strokercrate> Sure will, retrofitting an old camtech now for UCCNC, but will be able to accept Linux as well, so I may use it for Experimentation
[23:32:56] <strokercrate> Anyone ever use UCCNC?
