[00:55:06] <CaptHindsight> -20C and falling, yikes
[01:04:34] <uw> where?
[01:57:56] <Deejay> moin
[06:17:08] <TekniQue> Can linuxcnc run a CNC hole punch?
[06:18:05] <archivist_herron> probably been done, cannot see why not
[06:23:56] <archivist_herron> way back in 2006
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?EMC_Fest_2006
[06:35:03] <Tom_itx> was that the first one?
[06:36:42] <archivist_herron> not sure we can ever know, so many dont tell or write up what they do
[06:40:24] <Tom_itx> Around June 2000, NIST relocated the source code to sourceforge.net under the Public Domain license in order to allow external contributors to make changes. In 2003, the community rewrote some parts of it, reorganized and simplified other parts, then gave it the new name, EMC2
[06:56:36] <jthornton> Tom_itx, I actually used the mill G code generator last night to tap some holes
[07:17:16] <Tom_itx> nice, did you have to tweak the code any?
[07:18:13] <jthornton> yea, it didn't use the Z clearance correctly, it used the Z rapid. So only a small tweak
[07:18:58] <jthornton> I meant Retract Z and Rapid Z
[10:39:26] <Gigs-> Hey guys, I don't know if you all remember but I asked about a graham CVT a few weeks ago. I finally got the $100 quart of oil in.
[10:39:40] <Gigs-> good news is the motor and transmission actually does run :P
[10:40:08] <Gigs-> bad news is that it doesn't make hardly any torque at low RPMs. Don't know if that's the nature of the design or if the transmission is just shot
[10:45:09] <kengu> umm.. ok.
[10:46:26] <Gigs-> heh just thought I would share for anyone interested
[10:46:33] <kengu> (:
[10:46:47] <CaptHindsight> http://cvt-ivt.tripod.com/id1.html one of these?
[10:46:59] <Gigs-> I've always been facinated with CVTs, I wish I had the machines to be able to build that sort of thing
[10:47:07] <Gigs-> yeah one of those
[10:47:32] <Gigs-> it operates on an expensive traction oil film principle
[10:47:47] <Gigs-> the rollers aren't actually touching
[10:48:07] <CaptHindsight> what's the max torque out of the motor driving it?
[10:48:23] <Gigs-> it's a 1/4HP electric
[10:48:30] <Gigs-> it's not stalling the electric motor
[10:49:20] <Gigs-> as the CVT output RPM drops, I can hear the electric motor become less loaded
[10:49:41] <Gigs-> and when I stop the CVT output shaft with my hand, the transmission just whines
[10:49:52] <Gigs-> sound like when you hit the end of travel on a hydraulic pump
[10:50:54] <Gigs-> I suspect the graham design fell out of favor in favor of the more straightforward hydraulic/hydrostatic designs since they use much cheaper oil/fluid
[10:51:23] <Gigs-> I know lawn mowers often just have 20w-30 conventional in there
[10:51:27] <Gigs-> or similar
[10:52:15] <CaptHindsight> have the MSDS for the oil?
[10:52:37] <Gigs-> they didn't send one
[10:52:41] <Gigs-> I think the new oil is far less toxic
[10:52:43] <CaptHindsight> I'm wondering why it's ~$100/qt
[10:52:59] <Gigs-> probably just because it's special
[10:53:10] <CaptHindsight> or maybe just $100
[10:53:19] <Gigs-> most oils strive to have low traction effects
[10:53:25] <Gigs-> this has to have the opposite
[10:53:46] <CaptHindsight> auto trans fluid
[10:54:05] <Gigs-> ATF is just hydraulic fluid
[10:54:54] <CaptHindsight> what is its viscosity?
[10:55:46] <CaptHindsight> how does it behave? non-newtonian?
[10:55:54] <Gigs-> hmm
[10:56:04] <Gigs-> traction coefficient is the behavior under high film pressures
[10:56:53] <Gigs-> it has to do with the thixotropic properties and such
[10:57:40] <Gigs-> so yeah non-newtonian
[10:57:42] <archivist> is this just a radial roller cvt
[10:57:51] <Gigs-> kind of
[10:58:03] <Gigs-> it's the same sort of thing
[10:58:05] <archivist> he motion transmission between rollers and rotors is assisted by an adapted traction fluid, which ensures the proper friction between the surfaces and slows down wearing thereof.
[10:58:27] <archivist> seems to still be in contact
[10:59:55] <Gigs-> I guess "contact" becomes a somewhat vague concept when you are talking about lubricant films
[11:00:18] <Gigs-> like a normal piston never "contacts" the cylinder walls if the lube is doing its job
[11:00:48] <archivist> that is sliding you are rolling
[11:00:55] <CaptHindsight> but the fluid acts more solid under pressure
[11:01:17] <Gigs-> in the roller CVT it's rolling and slipping at the same time
[11:02:02] <CaptHindsight> I wonder if they just used silica
[11:02:12] <CaptHindsight> as the additive
[11:02:25] <Gigs-> the oil is clear and iridescent green like antifreeze or grapeseed oil
[11:02:37] <Gigs-> if that helps
[11:03:03] <Gigs-> but yeah I'm sure it's 20 cents of additives
[11:03:06] <CaptHindsight> glycol + silica
[11:03:08] <Gigs-> in a synthetic oil base
[11:03:32] <CaptHindsight> they probably add a green dye
[11:03:54] <Gigs-> the original graham gold oil was a darker gold color
[11:04:10] <Gigs-> but everyone says that was toxic as hell
[11:04:21] <Gigs-> so who knows what kind of stuff they put in that
[11:04:34] <Gigs-> probably PCBs or something
[11:05:47] <Gigs-> it's kind of neat, this CVT design is continuously reversible
[11:05:59] <Gigs-> mine is the unidirectional so it only goes 1/100th speed in reverse
[11:06:03] <Gigs-> but they did make them symmetrical
[11:09:19] <archivist> who needs cvt when you can put an encoder on the input and servo/stepper on the output of linuxcnc :)
[11:17:47] <CaptHindsight> just got off the phone with someone that thinks that their stepper and leadscrew setup gets them 0.125um steps :)
[11:18:11] <CaptHindsight> I didn't want to burst their bubble :)
[11:20:27] <cpresser> heat the room by 1degree and you have a 1um step for free :)
[11:21:10] <Jymmm> Except for the cost to heat
[11:23:24] <jdh> http://www.dpvrepair.com/contents/media/l_brush%20board%20assembly.jpg
[11:23:35] <CaptHindsight> well it could be provided via the hot air from the engineer making the claim
[11:23:43] <jdh> what kind of solder would you use for these brush holders ?
[11:24:20] <Jymmm> the shiny kind?
[11:24:21] <CaptHindsight> high melting point
[11:25:18] <Jymmm> are those brass?
[11:26:19] <t12> dang
[11:26:23] <t12> going to check out the autodesk shop today
[11:26:31] <t12> seems very well equipped
[11:26:52] <jdh> they are brass
[11:27:47] <Gigs-> I would just use regular solder
[11:27:57] <Gigs-> if you are melting regular solder you are ruining the insulation on those wires anyway
[11:28:35] <jdh> the motor can pull 16amps under load
[11:28:57] <Gigs-> if the motor is running over 200C the bearings will be dead too
[11:29:38] <Gigs-> a good lead/tin solder will provide superior resistance to cracking from thermal cycles and mechanical shock
[11:29:45] <jdh> they seem to fail when a brush sticks and increases load on the remaining ones.
[11:30:22] <CaptHindsight> what is the cause of the brushes sticking? thermal expansion?
[11:30:23] <Gigs-> why are they sticking
[11:30:35] <jdh> crud most likely
[11:30:42] <Gigs-> the brushes shouldn't be tight in the holders
[11:30:59] <jdh> the ones I have re-built slide freely.
[11:31:00] <CaptHindsight> maybe a self cleaning brush design is in order?
[11:31:32] <jdh> they often fail by being flooded with saltwater
[11:31:43] <Gigs-> heh... most things do
[11:31:51] <CaptHindsight> or a motor without brushes :)
[11:32:12] <jdh> yeah, there are some of those, but pricey and overly complex for the application
[11:32:29] <jdh> it's for an underwater scooter.
[11:32:39] <Gigs-> is the motor sealed?
[11:32:50] <jdh> these are 24vdc, 800rpm, needs lots of torque.
[11:33:13] <jdh> normally sealed
[11:33:20] <CaptHindsight> picturing a moped with paddle wheels
[11:33:25] <Gigs-> crush depth captain!
[11:33:26] <jdh> heh
[11:33:40] <jdh> 3 blade variable pitch prop and kort nozzle
[11:33:43] <Gigs-> that's a lot of brushes for a DC motor
[11:33:53] <jdh> yeah, low speed and torque
[11:34:34] <Gigs-> I guess they wanted to save weight and avoid a transmission
[11:34:34] <jdh> gear train woudl be too heavy and big
[11:35:16] <Gigs-> anyway I'd still go with regular solder
[11:35:17] <CaptHindsight> if this is for a movie then you could use a caterpillar drive like the sub in Red October
[11:35:49] <jdh> I have been using regular silver solder on the relay boards
[11:35:59] <Gigs-> what do you mean regular silver solder
[11:36:07] <Gigs-> low silver lead/tin?
[11:36:10] <jdh> cheap 2%
[11:36:15] <jdh> yeah
[11:36:52] <Gigs-> lead free or leaded
[11:37:25] <Connor> http://imagebin.org/281897 < --- Who made the G Code Generator ?
[11:37:35] <Gigs-> anyway you don't need to use 2% lead unless you are soldering to gold plated terminals, but it shouldn't hurt
[11:37:40] <Gigs-> 2% silver I mean
[11:40:29] <archivist> Connor, JT-Shop_ is writing that
[11:40:34] <Connor> Ah.
[11:40:55] <Connor> Looking good.
[11:41:17] <jdh> leaded... I haven't had good results with lead-free. Could just be me though.
[11:41:50] <archivist> leaded for me too, it is just better TM
[11:42:17] <Jymmm> 63/37 Love
[11:47:58] <Connor> archivist Looks like JT-Shop_ did a good job on it so far.
[11:48:53] <jdh> Connor: made anything lately?
[11:48:53] <Connor> He might want to put comment indicator in front of the comments so it's not a issue. but.. looks pretty neat.
[11:49:31] <Connor> jdh On the CNC .. Hell no. But, I've been working on the enclosure.. I have it all done except some finial Caulking..
[12:05:00] <CaptHindsight> 261323013175 ebay, anyone ever deal with HGR in Euclid, Ohio? Looks like they are getting rid of lots of old iron before the end of the year
[12:06:41] <CaptHindsight> 200999517701 looks like a bargain for someone in CA Hardinge Metal lathe Model DSM 59 US $584.00
[12:07:20] <jdh> does anyone make a left handed lathe?
[12:08:38] <Connor> Probably not.
[12:08:48] <Connor> Why would you want one ?
[12:08:57] <jdh> just curious
[12:09:54] <Gigs-> CaptHindsight: school lathes usually have screwed ways
[12:10:13] <Gigs-> I had one that I wound up giving away because it was just too much work to fix
[12:10:33] <Gigs-> the two humps on the ways were almost flat close to the chuck
[12:10:48] <CaptHindsight> depends on the school, I've seen some that had hardly any use
[12:16:21] <skunkworks> we got a emco lathe out of a school that still had cosmoline on it..
[12:16:50] <IchGuckLive> yuuup school stuff is very old
[12:18:07] <IchGuckLive> hi jeremy79
[12:28:45] <Connor> skunkworks: So, Never been used?
[12:29:05] <Loetmichel> re @ home
[12:33:01] <CaptHindsight> do US schools still have shop classes? I recall having a machine shop that had just about everything except for EDM's
[12:33:33] <Gigs-> usually it's broken out into a separate vocational school around here
[12:33:50] <Connor> Some do, some don't, some have them as vocational school when the highschool will use jointly.
[12:33:50] <Gigs-> high school students will go half a day to the vocational school that is centrally located
[12:34:56] <Connor> Gigs-: Exactly. Here in my area.. on Vocational school is located 1000' yards or so away from the highschool.. another highschool busses the kids over..
[12:34:59] <jdh> did you go to farragut?
[12:35:12] <Connor> Me? no. Karns.
[12:35:18] <CaptHindsight> so ebonics and revisionist history till noon and then it's off to 3rd world factory training in the afternoon
[12:35:25] <Connor> Powell was the other school that busses the kids.
[12:35:31] <jdh> I don't remember where karns is.
[12:35:44] <Connor> Solway.
[12:36:08] <Connor> Ball Camp, Solway area.
[12:37:31] <jdh> oh yeah, I had a friend that lived out that way
[12:53:48] <VNR> hello
[12:54:39] <VNR> i want to edit the mb2hal wiki page but cannot login with "l...cnc" password
[12:55:08] <cradek> chips
[12:58:36] <IchGuckLive> VNR: what is wrong on the side
[12:58:58] <VNR> thanks cradek
[13:04:05] <tjtr33> CaptHindsight, i've bought 1 Japax hopopper and 1 6dof robot from HGR. always went there to check em out 1st, and put em into my wagons.
[13:04:34] <tjtr33> good deals ( < advertised ) and the units were good for parts, ( aka junk :)
[13:08:21] <tjtr33> i tossed the controls on the hopop, kept a very good 1mm pitch 3 axis gantry, cast iron & stainless. on robot kept all ( puma 1meter exdtended )
[13:20:03] <tjtr33> the deckel FP3NC looks like a good candidate for linuxcnc ( at HGR )
[13:36:21] <IchGuckLive> tjtr33: yes the deckes is best to modifi also the 7i77 fits perfect
[13:36:33] <IchGuckLive> im off BY
[13:40:03] <flughafen> hey archivist I was told to ask you about clocks?
[14:36:32] <JT-Shop> Connor, which comment does not have a ; ?
[14:57:54] * JT-Shop just figured out what .htaccess file can do
[14:58:02] <jdh> it can do miracles!
[14:58:17] <jdh> if you consider access control a miracle.
[15:02:01] <JT-Shop> lol
[15:05:02] <Connor> JT-Shop: I just downloaded your G Code generator.. the Drill Op comment and Tap Op doesn't have the ; in it.
[15:05:47] <JT-Shop> thanks, I'll fix that
[15:10:29] <Connor> JT-Shop: No problem. Looking good!
[15:10:42] <Connor> Would be nice as a drop-in to axis.
[15:17:22] <JT-Shop> I used to do that with the simple G code generators that used tk but have not figured out how with Python Gtk
[15:19:00] <JT-Shop> this is the magic Tkinter line IN_AXIS = os.environ.has_key("AXIS_PROGRESS_BAR")
[15:32:51] <g_mouer> trying to upgrade from 2.5.3 to master and getting a dependency error need some help
[15:33:26] <g_mouer> dependencies are libboost-python1.40.0 and libmodbus5
[15:44:10] <jthornton> Connor, did you download it from
http://www.gnipsel.com/files/g-code-generator/
[15:44:58] <Connor> http://gnipsel.com/shop/files/mill.zip
[15:45:22] <jthornton> ok, that is a very old version and thanks I'll fix that link
[15:45:33] <Connor> http://gnipsel.com/shop/machine-shop.xhtml
[15:45:50] <jthornton> yes, I have that page open now editing the link
[15:45:51] <Connor> that were I found the link.
[15:45:55] <Connor> ok
[15:46:04] <Connor> I googled jt-shop g code generator
[15:46:19] <jthornton> wow that's cool
[15:46:54] <Connor> 2nd link.. the first looks to be a IRC log. stating.. 15:21, JT-Shop, I wrote a bunch of g code generators for linuxcnc on the wiki with ...
[15:49:01] <g_mouer> need help upgrading 2.5.3 to master getting 2 dependency errors
[15:49:35] <jthornton> did you look on the wiki for upgrade instructions?
[15:49:55] <jthornton> Connor, I fixed the bogus link :)
[15:50:00] <Connor> Coll
[15:50:03] <Connor> err.. Cool
[15:50:23] <Connor> Sorry for reporting bogus bug.
[15:50:35] <g_mouer> yup there was a method for the one dependency but it didn't work, the other dependency isn't mentioned
[15:51:26] <jthornton> it was not bogus but took a second or two to realize what the bug actually was LOL
[15:51:54] <Connor> I might suggest swapping the Tabs G code and Setup
[15:52:16] <Connor> Going Left to right....
[15:53:07] <jthornton> that does make sense
[15:53:34] <Connor> and look there.. we have the ; in front of the comments now. :)
[15:54:10] <Connor> Yea.. Follows with the other tabs too if you put Setup before G Code. :)
[15:55:36] <Connor> Mill chart needs HSS endmills too. :)
[15:55:56] <Connor> I'm sure the Feed per Tooth is a little different.
[15:56:48] <jthornton> do you have a good chart for HSS endmill feed per tooth?
[15:56:59] <Connor> Umm.
[15:57:17] <jthornton> I see that some labeling needs to be done on the Mill Charts tab
[15:57:36] <Connor> http://zero-divide.net/index.php?page=fswizard&shell_id=199&load_tool_id=27011
[15:57:40] <Connor> I use that allot
[15:58:05] <jthornton> do you find it to be accurate?
[15:58:37] <Connor> Pretty Close the times I've used it.. but.. I don't have that much time machining...
[15:58:56] <Connor> Have more time machining PVC than I do metal.
[15:59:02] <g_mouer> ok, lets try this, any idea how to install libboost-python1.40.0 ?? its required for master
[15:59:04] <Connor> and that's still not that much.
[15:59:21] <Connor> Machine been under conversion more than it's been runnin.
[15:59:24] <Connor> running.
[15:59:47] <jthornton> too complicated LOL
[16:00:04] <Connor> Yea.. It's a bit more complicated...
[16:00:16] <Connor> One thing I like is.. I don't have to lookup the SFM either..
[16:00:51] <jdh> how fast is your spindle now?
[16:01:06] <Connor> 6800 RPM
[16:01:12] <jdh> cool
[16:01:37] <jthornton> g_mouer, apt-get install?
[16:02:54] <g_mouer> yes, john, tried that, it errors not installable but referred to by another package
[16:03:00] <g_mouer> pretty cryptic
[16:03:59] <jthornton> http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?RemappingStatus
[16:04:17] <jthornton> If you are building yourself by pulling from git.linuxcnc.org, you need to 'sudo apt-get install libboost-python-dev' .
[16:04:49] <jthornton> got that from that link, found the link with libboost-python site:linuxcnc.org in google
[16:05:00] <g_mouer> that exact syntax throws the error I posted
[16:05:32] <g_mouer> many of those docs are outdated I have found many times in the past
[16:06:37] <jthornton> I'm out of swags
[16:06:49] <ju-emb> g_mouer: what Linux Distro and version are you on?
[16:06:55] <g_mouer> me too, thats why I came here
[16:07:22] <g_mouer> not sure what a "distro' version is??? Lucid ??
[16:07:48] <ju-emb> something like that
[16:08:12] <ju-emb> it has a number like 10.04
[16:08:51] <g_mouer> yes its 10.04
[16:10:44] <g_mouer> got the latest live cd, installed that, then updated with synaptic pkg mgr to 2.5.3 latest, then changed repository to buildbot master-rt it shows the latest master but faults when trying to mark it, the 2 dependencies
[16:10:54] <jthornton> g_mouer, you might start a topic on the forum and add your error you get as an attachment, some really sharp guys visit there
[16:11:35] <g_mouer> true, some really sharp guys here too !! always had better luck here in the past
[16:11:44] <ju-emb> in your /etc/apt/sources.list are the source repos activated?
[16:11:50] <cradek> what error do you get?
[16:12:44] <g_mouer> ehrn trying to mark for master upgrade, 2 dependencies libboost-python1.40.0 and libmodbus5
[16:13:11] <cradek> pastbin your sources.list?
[16:13:11] <g_mouer> no luck resolving those dependencies
[16:13:14] <cradek> pastebin
[16:13:30] <g_mouer> ok give me a sec
[16:16:23] <andypugh> apt-get install libboost-python-dev libmodbus-dev
[16:16:47] <cradek> my understanding is he's trying to install buildbot debs, not get a compile environment
[16:16:57] <cradek> so, it should be installing the dependencies for him
[16:17:07] <andypugh> Ah, OK.
[16:17:08] <cradek> if it can't, sources.list is wrong, which is why I asked to see it
[16:17:16] <g_mouer> yes, I am using the synaptic package manager for updating to master
[16:17:20] <cradek> (I might be misunderstanding the situation of course)
[16:18:27] <g_mouer> http://imagebin.org/282021
[16:18:42] <ju-emb> me too, I think some is missing in source.list
[16:19:14] <g_mouer> the source list is the default from the live cd install, other than the link for master-rt on the buildbot
[16:19:51] <cradek> I think you also need "base" from the buildbot
[16:21:08] <cradek> er wait, what do those checkboxes mean?
[16:21:15] <g_mouer> maybe I'm blind but I don't see any reference to "base" on the buildbot page
[16:21:21] <cradek> you need base from linuxcnc.org/lucid
[16:21:28] <cradek> stupid guis
[16:21:32] <cradek> I have no idea how synaptic works
[16:21:38] <cradek> would rather see the text in the file
[16:21:52] <cradek> but pretty sure you need linuxcnc.org / lucid / base
[16:21:56] <cradek> for libmodbus
[16:22:02] <CaptHindsight> tjtr33: interesting, it almost looks like they are having a year end closeout
[16:22:16] <cradek> libboost-python might be in ubuntu / universe
[16:22:19] <ju-emb> Me too, I was expecting the result of cat /etc/apt/source.list on pastebin
[16:23:19] <g_mouer> ok, so I should add linuxcnc.org/lucid/base to the repository list for synapetic pkg manager?
[16:23:37] <cradek> I don't know really how to use synaptic
[16:23:51] <cradek> you already have it there, but there's no checkmark by it; what this means I have no idea
[16:24:01] <cradek> so experiment :-)
[16:24:29] <ju-emb> g_mouer first activate some checkboxes
[16:24:57] <g_mouer> oh yea ! no checkbox means it is not used !! I will check it and retry
[16:25:33] <Gigs-> hah you won't believe this... I just found two pints of graham gold CVT oil in the basement here at work... of course after I paid the $100 to buy a quart myself
[16:25:53] <ju-emb> you need the universe as cradek say's
[16:26:09] <Gigs-> the maintenance guy says he chucked the motors last year into the dumpster :( They were worth like $2000 each if they ran
[16:26:23] <ju-emb> and you need to check that what has src in it
[16:27:01] <g_mouer> ok, checked that, then tried marking linuxcnc for update and got the same error, dependency libboost-python1.40.0 not installable
[16:27:13] <cradek> g_mouer: read ^^
[16:27:21] <g_mouer> maybe I need to upgrade another package first?
[16:28:26] <Deejay> gn8
[16:28:40] <ju-emb> just type libboost-python without any number
[16:28:58] <ju-emb> and see what results you get
[16:29:03] <g_mouer> type it where?
[16:29:19] <ju-emb> in synaptic search
[16:30:14] <g_mouer> no hits on the search (tried that before also)
[16:30:57] <g_mouer> tried searching just "libboost" also, no hits
[16:31:51] <andypugh> I think is it called boost-pythin
[16:32:09] <ju-emb> open a terminal ctrl+alt+t
[16:32:14] <andypugh> python that is. I miss-type that word about 90% of the time. Which is annoying.
[16:32:58] <tjb1> andypugh: do you have a g0704 or one like it?
[16:33:21] <g_mouer> no hits on either "boost" or "boost-python"
[16:33:24] <ju-emb> and cat /etc/apt/source.list to pastebin
[16:33:48] <cradek> Filename: pool/main/b/boost1.40/libboost-python1.40.0_1.40.0-4ubuntu4_i386.deb
[16:33:54] <cradek> Package: libboost-python1.40.0
[16:33:56] <cradek> it's in main
[16:34:00] <cradek> I have no idea why you can't install it
[16:34:20] <ju-emb> ubuntu say's the name is libboost-python-dev
[16:35:34] <ju-emb> g_mouser: give us a cat of your source.list file to pastebin
[16:35:48] <cradek> and the actual error message for pete sake
[16:35:52] <cradek> or pete's
[16:38:28] <ju-emb> g_mouser: what is if you open a terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and just type
[16:38:31] <ju-emb> sudo apt-get install libboost-python-dev
[16:41:00] <g_mouer> ju-emb that threw a error msg screenshot coming up
[16:41:25] <flughafen> archivist: you there?
[16:44:02] <g_mouer> error msg
http://imagebin.org/282026
[16:45:11] <ju-emb> cat /etc/apt/source.list
[16:45:39] <JT-Shop> g_mouer, I just followed these steps to install master on 10.04
http://www.pastebin.ca/2497178
[16:47:07] <JT-Shop> g_mouer,
http://imagebin.org/282027
[16:47:51] <g_mouer> ju-emb no such file or directory
[16:48:03] <JT-Shop> g_mouer,
http://imagebin.org/282028
[16:48:28] <g_mouer> John, I had not tried that method to install, only the package manager, which isn't working out
[16:48:47] <JT-Shop> that is using the package manager...
[16:49:00] <JT-Shop> you didn't read the first line???
[16:49:30] <g_mouer> sorry John, trying to keep up with 3 peoples suggestions at the same time LOL
[16:49:38] <JT-Shop> I understand
[16:50:17] <JT-Shop> I use the package manager that's why I just did the steps and wrote them down for you
[16:50:23] <g_mouer> John, wonder if you have that libboost file on your machine? thats what is holding me up, master requires it
[16:50:56] <JT-Shop> this is a fresh install from the LiveCD a day ago
[16:51:06] <g_mouer> funny thing is I have upgraded to master on a couple machines in the past year this way, this is a new problem
[16:51:23] <g_mouer> ahhh gonna have to try your way John
[16:51:54] <ju-emb> the JT-Shop method worked for me too on 10.04, but you should deinstall emc first
[16:51:55] <g_mouer> mine is a fresh install from the live cd just today
[16:52:34] <g_mouer> ok, I am going to give that a try, it will take me a while
[16:52:56] <g_mouer> ju-emb, did you deinstall all linuxcnc files?
[16:53:35] <JT-Shop> I didn't uninstall anything
[16:54:09] <ju-emb> JT-Shop: but did you have the complete live-cd install
[16:54:29] <JT-Shop> oh my I see I need to update the headers in the manuals before 2.6 comes out
[16:54:59] <g_mouer> not sure what you mean by the "complete" live cd install??
[16:55:14] <ju-emb> that was for JT-Shop
[16:55:29] <g_mouer> ok LOL
[16:56:02] <JT-Shop> I don't understand what you mean by complete install?
[16:56:20] <ju-emb> if you have a fresh 10.04 native ubuntu install you can go the way Jhon did
[16:56:40] <ju-emb> if you have an install from EMC live CD
[16:56:48] <JT-Shop> mine was from the LinuxCNC LiveCD not the plain ubuntu live cd
[16:57:26] <ju-emb> so now question to g_mouser: EMC or LinuxCNC live-cd
[16:59:32] <ju-emb> or ubuntu live-cd
[17:07:10] <JT-Shop> I guess I'm going to have to try a different motherboard, I can't get the correct screen resolution on this one
[17:15:38] <JT-Shop> I think I'm going to try this Asus P5N motherboard... be back later maybe
[17:24:05] <g_mouer> john, your instructions didn't work, threw same dependency error screenshot of terminal window coming up
[17:24:43] <g_mouer> only this time it was libmodbus5 dependency error
[17:28:18] <g_mouer> here is the error message in the terminal window
http://imagebin.org/282032
[17:28:57] <g_mouer> and the repositories
http://imagebin.org/282033
[17:30:21] <ju-emb> g_mouer: apt-cache search libmodbus
[17:31:00] <g_mouer> ok
[17:32:16] <g_mouer> ju-enb search returned a blank line in terminal
[17:33:55] <RyanS> I see a lot of these charts that list aluminium as 200-300 FPM, that seems a rather drastic variation
[17:34:22] <ju-emb> g_mouser : sudo add-apt-repository "deb
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) universe"
[17:34:37] <ju-emb> all in one line
[17:34:59] <ju-emb> without "g_mouser : " ;-)
[17:37:52] <g_mouer> without the quotes , right?
[17:38:20] <ju-emb> and the same for the sources:
[17:38:22] <ju-emb> sudo add-apt-repository "deb-src

[17:38:44] <CaptHindsight> http://www.3ders.org/articles/20131212-emerging-objects-3d-printed-a-pavilion-entirely-out-of-salt.html
[17:40:22] <g_mouer> error terminal says "error need a repository as argument"
[17:40:40] <CaptHindsight> andypugh:
http://3dprintingindustry.com/2013/12/13/low-cost-titanium-powder-first-kind/ from the University of Sheffield’s Mercury Centre
[17:40:45] <g_mouer> did I need the quote marks?
[17:41:31] <andypugh> I used to work there. (Not that actual department)
[17:41:39] <CaptHindsight> http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/news/nr/3d-printing-titanium-1.332731 3D print automotive parts
[17:41:51] <CaptHindsight> had a feeling
[17:44:01] <ju-emb> g_mouer: yes you need the double quotes
[17:44:30] <g_mouer> ok, did those 2 lines with quotes, no errors
[17:44:50] <g_mouer> whats next?
[17:44:55] <ju-emb> you need to put it in one line
[17:45:19] <g_mouer> both sudo add lines?
[17:45:52] <ju-emb> no each sudo in one line
[17:46:06] <g_mouer> did that, no errors, just returned cursor
[17:46:26] <g_mouer> now what?
[17:46:43] <ju-emb> now try apt-cache search libmodbus
[17:46:52] <ju-emb> sorry
[17:46:58] <ju-emb> apt-get update first
[17:48:22] <g_mouer> got a few failures to load, want a screenshot?
[17:48:39] <ju-emb> yes pls.
[17:50:20] <g_mouer> http://imagebin.org/282042
[17:51:07] <g_mouer> love that one error "something wicked happened" LOL that about sums it up
[17:52:12] <ju-emb> ok, let's cleanup your source.list file
[17:52:53] <ju-emb> give me a
[17:52:55] <ju-emb> cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:56:02] <g_mouer> http://imagebin.org/282043
[17:56:40] <g_mouer> takes a min, running off different computer for irc, shuttling with thumb drive sorry
[18:01:37] <ju-emb> there are some errors in
[18:01:39] <ju-emb> make the last lines look like
[18:02:31] <ju-emb> http://pastebin.com/Y0HzYfgp
[18:02:51] <g_mouer> think I got it !!! gimme a sec
[18:02:52] <ju-emb> what editor do you have on your box?
[18:03:27] <g_mouer> gedit,
[18:03:35] <g_mouer> It updated to master !!
[18:04:19] <g_mouer> in pkg manager, I unchecked the master repository and checked all the others, updated, then checked master and updated again
[18:04:31] <g_mouer> threw a error but updated, now shows as master
[18:04:40] <g_mouer> going to launch linuxcnc and see
[18:04:43] <ju-emb> ok in a terminal type:
[18:04:45] <ju-emb> gedit /etc/apt/source.list
[18:05:15] <g_mouer> ok will do
[18:05:40] <g_mouer> linuxccnc is at pre2.6 4954 so it did update
[18:05:44] <ju-emb> in the last lines of your source.list delete the last lines that doesn't point to rigtht URL's
[18:12:58] <g_mouer> http://imagebin.org/282045 what lines should I delete?
[18:14:13] <g_mouer> think I see it, is it because the // is missing on the last 2 lines?
[18:15:52] <ju-emb> exactly
[18:16:32] <ju-emb> but don't delete them, just correct them
[18:16:37] <g_mouer> only a opening quote mark show also, whats up with that?
[18:18:28] <g_mouer> or should I get rid of the " mark ahead of the word archive ?

[18:19:17] <CHNCguy> Hey Hey guys IM BACK :)
[18:19:45] <g_mouer> gottcha
[18:19:58] <CHNCguy> So, here is where I am at with my cnc lathe conversion, hoping to get some help: I installed linuxcnc with 10.04
[18:20:06] <CHNCguy> got my mesa 7I75 and 5I25
[18:20:20] <CHNCguy> hooked up it and I got a yellow light on 7I76*
[18:20:27] <CHNCguy> its a 7I76*
[18:20:34] <g_mouer> all done, think I am all set now, its ran ok and is under master
[18:20:38] <g_mouer> thanks a bunch
[18:20:58] <CHNCguy> Now I am in Pncconf, but can not see or select 5I25, any help?
[18:20:59] <ju-emb> update runs without errors?
[18:21:17] <g_mouer> everything is currrent it shows
[18:21:54] <ju-emb> apt-get update
[18:21:57] <ju-emb> completed?
[18:22:29] <ju-emb> so run
[18:22:31] <ju-emb> apt-cache search libmodbus
[18:23:00] <g_mouer> yes, did it, no errors
[18:23:36] <ju-emb> does
[18:23:38] <ju-emb> apt-cache search libmodbus
[18:23:40] <ju-emb> it show any lines
[18:24:42] <g_mouer> yes found "library for modbus protocol" think we got it
[18:24:51] <ju-emb> perfect
[18:25:02] <g_mouer> can't thank you enough
[18:25:27] <ju-emb> so type:
[18:25:29] <ju-emb> apt-get install libmodbus-dev
[18:25:31] <g_mouer> now back to my 3rd linuxcnc retrofit, a RF45 mill, got the 10,000 rpm spindle running
[18:27:46] <g_mouer> install dev just fine
[18:28:21] <ju-emb> so you shouldn't have any deb problems anymore
[18:28:45] <g_mouer> look to be in good shape. Thanks again
[18:28:46] <CHNCguy> Not to highjack the chat but, quick question guys, how do I get the 5I25 to show up in the PncConf?
[18:29:33] <g_mouer> there is a autoinstall script in the linuxcnc forum, under the pncconf section, download and run that and your 5i25 will appear
[18:29:39] <g_mouer> just did it today
[18:31:34] <Tom_itx> wb JT-Shop
[18:31:36] <JT-Shop> what a PIA
[18:31:37] <CHNCguy> thanks g_mouer, got a link?
[18:31:56] <g_mouer> yes, give me a sec and I will get you the link
[18:32:08] <CHNCguy> thanks, im looking for it also :D
[18:32:09] <JT-Shop> I had to clean up a mid tower case to fit the motherboard in and...
[18:32:42] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop, the pastebin link for the 2.6 install... will that interfere with a current 2.5 install or can they both reside together?
[18:32:56] <JT-Shop> at least my monitor is recognized now and the screen resolution is right
[18:33:08] <JT-Shop> it overrides it Tom_itx
[18:33:14] <g_mouer> here are the 5i25 support files in this link
http://linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/39-pncconf/21670-5i25-firmware-xml-files-for-pncconf
[18:33:26] <Tom_itx> crap. i didn't wanna mess up my current setup
[18:33:27] <JT-Shop> if you want to play with master I'd use a RIP
[18:33:37] <JT-Shop> just get a RIP
[18:33:42] <Tom_itx> rip?
[18:33:49] <JT-Shop> Run In Place
[18:33:59] <CHNCguy> thanks g_mouer, ;)
[18:34:01] <Tom_itx> i got a ssd i could plug in
[18:34:33] <Tom_itx> is 2.6 stable enough to use yet?
[18:34:48] <JT-Shop> http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Installing_LinuxCNC#Installing_to_Ubuntu_10_04_or_8_04_from_source
[18:35:00] <JT-Shop> do you need a feature from master?
[18:35:06] <Tom_itx> nope
[18:35:13] <JT-Shop> CHNCguy, is this mike
[18:35:16] <Tom_itx> other than better card monitoring
[18:35:34] <JT-Shop> it does have some better features for Mesa cards
[18:35:46] <Tom_itx> are you running it on anything?
[18:36:17] <JT-Shop> I was running it on the BP knee mill but I'm running 2.5 at the moment
[18:37:00] <JT-Shop> CHNCguy, are you Mike?
[18:37:21] <g_mouer> master has a lot of the pncconf improvements for the new mesa 5i25 daughter boards too
[18:37:23] <JT-Shop> Tom_itx, you should have seen the dust build up in that mid tower
[18:37:34] <Tom_itx> i bet
[18:37:41] <JT-Shop> pncconf is a one shot deal
[18:37:45] <Tom_itx> i blow mine out every few months
[18:37:54] <JT-Shop> once your configuration is set up you never use it again
[18:38:17] <JT-Shop> I started putting those filter things on the fans you can cut up
[18:38:20] <Tom_itx> i'm not sure i ever used it
[18:38:24] <g_mouer> true, I have done it a few times, but it sure helps a beginner get started with the mesa boards
[18:38:48] <g_mouer> gets a decent start on a hal
[18:39:06] <ju-emb> JT-Shop: seems to be the day of PC modding
[18:39:09] <ju-emb> I miss a Y power cable for hdd, someone can halp me out here ;-)
[18:39:11] <JT-Shop> sometimes yes, but the configs are hard to read
[18:40:20] <g_mouer> all the cables I have around and I don't have a Y hdd cable, sorry
[18:40:37] <JT-Shop> an like Andy says if you can't fix it you don't own it
[18:40:59] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Um....
[18:41:07] <g_mouer> I dopn't find them hard to read but it does make a lot of pins that are probably not going to get used, that clutters the hal up a bit
[18:41:50] <JT-Shop> there are some confusing things it puts in the INI file too
[18:42:31] <g_mouer> did that gang tool lathe last, now working on a RF45 bench mill, retro'd the spindle to 10K rpm and 4.25 hp dc motor already
[18:42:41] <JT-Shop> Jymmm, toss me a tri-tip
[18:43:38] * JT-Shop is going to see if the second hard drive fouls things up

[18:46:56] <JT-Shop> nope works fine
[18:47:19] <JT-Shop> fishing
[18:49:35] <Jymmm> JT-Shop: Your tri-tip
[18:49:42] * JT-Shop wanders inside now
[18:49:48] <JT-Shop> lol
