[21:07:16] <pink_vampire> hi
[21:07:26] <pink_vampire> what is the path for the axis.py?
[21:07:47] <pink_vampire> I'm using the debian version of linux cnc
[21:20:47] -linuxcnc-github:#linuxcnc-devel- [13linuxcnc] 15LearningLinuxCNC opened pull request #219: tooledit_widget navigation updates (06master...06master) 02
https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/219
[21:38:17] <skunksleep> pcw_home: is there any real advantage simulating a tach to a velocity mode drive? Andy made a comment a while back that if it just gets summed in the amp it really isn't helping
[21:46:46] <pcw_home> assuming the ref and tach inputs are just differential amp that would be true (they often are)
[21:49:08] <skunksleep> http://www.a-m-c.com/download/datasheet/b15a8.pdf
[21:49:31] <skunksleep> So just setting the amp to current mode?
[21:52:08] <pcw_home> No, current mode is different
[21:52:56] <pcw_home> (no velocity I term)
[21:57:29] <skunksleep> I guess.. what would be the best setup with these drives?
[21:59:07] <pcw_home> If you can run a fast enough servo thread I would use torque mode
[22:01:10] <skunksleep> Current=torque mode?
[22:04:41] <skunksleep> The only other option is open loop which I assume is voltage mode
[22:05:53] <pcw_home> yeah voltage mode has the disadvantage that tuning changes with Vbus
[22:07:05] <skunksleep> How are things?
[22:07:45] <pcw_home> good, we have to move though which will be a trial
[22:08:26] <skunksleep> Home or company?
[22:26:36] <pcw_home> company
[22:28:08] <pcw_home> Private school is buying half the hillside including the office condo we were in
[22:40:23] <CaptHindsight> pcw_home: you too?!
[22:41:03] <CaptHindsight> moving is a big pain
[22:50:37] <pcw_home> Yeah, I'm trying to not think about it but we have to be out sometime around March/ April
[23:01:26] <CaptHindsight> pcw_home: not sure about your area but decent places are really had to find around here
