12:41 PM JT[m]: Chaumette Vinyard
12:42 PM travis_farmer: and here i thought that was your land ;)
12:43 PM JT[m]: I wish
12:46 PM FinboySlick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHR9YQl7ObU Posted before but pretty cool, if very 'Japan'.
12:48 PM Tom_L: jt you got it all back?
12:56 PM JT[m]: Yep, everything is good
12:57 PM JT[m]: Fixed a couple of things this morning
12:57 PM Tom_L: after lunch i'll build
12:58 PM JT[m]: Ok
12:58 PM JT[m]: Eating lunch now
01:04 PM Tom_L: program error
01:04 PM Tom_L: checkmf is not defined in startup.py line 92
01:12 PM JT[m]: Ok
01:14 PM CaptHindsight[m]: FinboySlick: and the winner is printing vs drilling
01:15 PM FinboySlick: CaptHindsight[m]: I haven't managed to dig out part 2, but I remember seeing it and lathe guy is the only one who managed to get through without breaking it.
01:18 PM CaptHindsight[m]: I was surprised that nobody encapsulated the graphite,then machined and then removed the encapsulation
01:18 PM CaptHindsight[m]: with support it won't crumble from stress
01:19 PM FinboySlick: He kind of did for the workholding, but not the entire part.
01:20 PM CaptHindsight[m]: but you can print graphite tubes much thinner than they used
01:20 PM FinboySlick: It's a test of drilling skil though.
01:22 PM CaptHindsight[m]: I watched the first part about PCB fabrication and then made the hyperbolic leap to the drilling of the graphite
01:23 PM CaptHindsight[m]: if the dubbed announcer was on ludes vs cocaine I would have watched more :)
01:23 PM FinboySlick: That's what I meant by 'very Japan'.
01:24 PM CaptHindsight[m]: the subject as a TV show is "very Japan"
01:27 PM CaptHindsight[m]: I like Japanese TV shows, i wish they were easier to find here
01:33 PM FinboySlick: I think Japan is even more insane about intellectual proparty and copyright than the US.
01:44 PM CaptHindsight[m]: Japan is lots of fun to visit
01:48 PM CaptHindsight[m]: I've wondered about LCNC users in Japan https://forum.linuxcnc.org/32-documents/45287-japanese-documents
04:29 PM JT-Cave: Tom_L, how did you get the error?
04:50 PM Tom_L: just opened the program
04:51 PM JT[m]: With opening an ini file?
04:52 PM Tom_L: booting..
04:52 PM Tom_L: no i'm pretty sure i just launched the program
04:54 PM Tom_L: yes
04:54 PM Tom_L: i can try rebuilding it
04:54 PM JT[m]: Do a pull checkmf had been removed
04:55 PM Tom_L: building
04:55 PM Tom_L: what did checkmf do?
04:56 PM Tom_L: besides crash..
04:56 PM travis_farmer: lol
04:57 PM JT[m]: It used to check for mesaflash, but I use utilities.checkmesaflash now
04:57 PM Tom_L: crap. i forgot to pull locally before building..
04:58 PM JT[m]: Hmm
04:58 PM Tom_L: ok building
04:59 PM JT[m]: Got 3 packages today 1 item in each one is correct lol
04:59 PM Tom_L: still shows in the source...
04:59 PM Tom_L: mmm
05:00 PM JT[m]: Hmm did I push?
05:01 PM Tom_L: one of us missed a step...
05:01 PM Tom_L: i pulled 1 commit
05:01 PM Tom_L: my git branch is up to date
05:02 PM Tom_L: it's still in my git branch.. line 92
05:04 PM Tom_L: you get your shifter pads?
05:05 PM JT[m]: Not yet
05:05 PM JT[m]: I just pushed
05:06 PM JT[m]: The only thing I have not pushed is the firmware description I started today
05:06 PM Tom_L: must be slow.. shows 'removed debug print' 37 min ago
05:08 PM JT[m]: Yep that's the last commit
05:08 PM Tom_L: line 92 still shows checkmf(parent)
05:09 PM JT[m]: Hmm
05:09 PM Tom_L: your repo ok?
05:10 PM Tom_L: the other 2 branches show alot of activity
05:10 PM JT[m]: Is def checkmf(parent): in startup.py?
05:10 PM Tom_L: no
05:11 PM Tom_L: not on my git copy
05:11 PM JT[m]: I think so, I deleted all the ini branches
05:11 PM Tom_L: not in yours either
05:11 PM Tom_L: not here anyway
05:11 PM Tom_L: hang on..
05:11 PM Tom_L: my bad
05:11 PM Tom_L: i switched repos to check something
05:12 PM Tom_L: no it's not in master startup.py either
05:13 PM Tom_L: you did? they still show up here
05:14 PM JT[m]: You can delete all the local ini branches you have
05:14 PM Tom_L: how do i do that.. i was looking for that just now
05:14 PM Tom_L: i found it
05:15 PM Tom_L: mine just shows master now
05:15 PM JT[m]: Is cheskmf(parent) still in startup.py?
05:16 PM Tom_L: yup line 92
05:16 PM Tom_L: houston... we have a problem
05:16 PM JT[m]: Hmm
05:17 PM JT[m]: I'd bet that is a result of the rebase conflict this morning
05:19 PM Tom_L: i kinda wondered about that
05:20 PM Tom_L: above my paygrade
05:21 PM Tom_L: hang on...
05:21 PM JT[m]: Pull
05:21 PM Tom_L: it's fixed in your branch now
05:21 PM Tom_L: yeah
05:22 PM Tom_L: that's better
05:23 PM Tom_L: what happened?
05:23 PM JT[m]: If check for mesaflash is not checked then startup.py doesn't check
05:25 PM JT[m]: I assume when I renamed my local clone and cloned a new one I forgot about that
05:25 PM Tom_L: starts up now
05:26 PM JT[m]: Whew
05:26 PM Tom_L: where's the checkbox to check mesaflash?
05:26 PM JT[m]: Options
05:26 PM Tom_L: still shows 3.4.6 in the window
05:27 PM JT[m]: Unchecked
05:27 PM Tom_L: yes
05:28 PM Tom_L: either way
05:28 PM JT[m]: And restarted
05:28 PM Tom_L: yep
05:28 PM JT[m]: Hmm, a new puzzle
05:28 PM Tom_L: i checked options to make sure after restarting
05:28 PM Tom_L: always a puzzle
05:29 PM Tom_L: i'll go ahead and make debs
05:29 PM Tom_L: unless you'd rather i wait
05:29 PM JT[m]: Look at .config/mesact/mesact.config
05:30 PM Tom_L: where's config at?
05:30 PM JT[m]: In your home directory
05:31 PM -!- #linuxcnc mode set to +v by ChanServ
05:38 PM JT[m]: Gotta enable show hidden
05:38 PM Tom_dev: [NAGS]
05:38 PM Tom_dev: MESAFLASH = False
05:38 PM Tom_dev: NEWUSER = False
05:38 PM Tom_dev: [STARTUP]
05:38 PM Tom_dev: CONFIG = False
05:38 PM JT[m]: Ok
05:38 PM Tom_L: want me to wait?
05:38 PM JT[m]: Looks normal
05:38 PM JT[m]: Yep
05:38 PM Tom_L: ok
05:38 PM Tom_L: the config switches to true when checked so that works
05:38 PM JT[m]: Ok
